As the city lights begin to illuminate,
Zhou Na studied diligently in her dormitory.
Zhou Chen and his fellow students on the school team sweated it out and trained hard on the playground.
Li Kaile then pushed his stall cart to the train station.
There are quite a few people setting up stalls in front of the train station, selling everything from water and tea eggs to newspapers and magazines.
Li Kaile randomly found an open space and set up his first small stall.
The oil in the wok was heated up quickly. Li Kaile first made a sample of stinky tofu and placed it on the stall to attract customers.
The aroma and pungent smell of the sauce immediately intensified after being poured over it.
Soon, it attracted strange looks from the other stall owners.
But Li Kaile didn't care at all. In order to get along well with the other stall owners, he fried several boxes of stinky tofu and then generously gave them away to several other vendors who were also doing business.
He quickly became familiar with the other person.
Several stall owners felt that his stinky tofu was too smelly, saying that the stinky tofu made by a young girl surnamed Zhou before was not this smelly.
Li Kaile knew who the other person was talking about. Zhou Chen had mentioned Zhou Ling before. He smiled and explained, "Brothers and sisters, this stinky tofu is the real deal. If it doesn't smell, can you still call it stinky tofu? Just call it fried tofu."
Several stall owners thought it made sense. Although they weren't used to the smell of stinky tofu, they didn't mind giving it a try.
After all, Li Kaile was much more generous than Zhou Ling; she gave everyone a box as soon as she made a move.
"I must say, your stinky tofu tastes really good, better than that girl surnamed Zhou's."
"So this is the authentic taste of stinky tofu. It really lives up to its name, it's both fragrant and stinky."
Several stall owners gave their opinions, giving a thumbs up and praising Li Kaile's stinky tofu for its excellent taste.
Li Kaile chuckled and said generously, "If you want to eat this in the future, just give me a call, and I'll deliver it anytime."
This remark won the favor of the stall owners and also attracted the attention of some passersby.
Seeing this, the stall owners reciprocated by helping Li Kaile promote his product and encouraging passersby to try it.
"Try one piece for free, buy more if you like it, or don't pay if you don't."
Faced with hesitant passersby, Li Kaile generously offered to allow them to try the food.
These words undoubtedly put those who had reservations at ease, and they all came to Li Kaile's stall.
As the stinky tofu was ready, Li Kaile let everyone try a piece. Every passerby who tried a piece of stinky tofu with a toothpick nodded instinctively and said it was delicious.
"Hey little brother, how much is your stinky tofu?"
"Brother, it's three yuan a serving, and there are seven pieces in one serving. Don't think it's expensive. This is the price for authentic stinky tofu. We also have a stall at the night market. You can go and take a look if you don't believe me. It's very popular there, and you have to queue if you want to eat it."
"Oh? Okay, I'll take one box."
"I want a box too."
After Li Kaile explained, the passerby immediately took out three yuan, and the others also decided to place an order.
In no time, Li Kaile sold seven or eight servings of stinky tofu, a truly successful start.
Once you open a business, things become much easier.
Moreover, the aroma of the stinky tofu sauce can waft from ten meters away, so people can smell it without any advertising.
"Young man, your stinky tofu is the best! It's truly authentic. The stinky tofu I bought from a younger sister yesterday is nowhere near as good as yours."
"Brother, when buying stinky tofu, please look for our brand, we are called Pin Chou Fang Stinky Tofu."
Upon learning that the other party had previously bought stinky tofu from Zhou Ling, Li Kaile immediately promoted himself to attract customers.
"Hey, there's a 'Taste of Stinky Food' shop here too. Boss, is it also three yuan a box?"
"Yes, we are from the same company, and the prices are the same."
When customers who had bought stinky tofu from the night market were approached by Li Kaile, he generously gave them an extra piece, which made the regular customer very happy.
Following the smell of stinky tofu, passersby gathered in twos and threes.
Before long, a small queue also formed in front of Li Kaile's stall.
Li Kaile really wanted to record this scene and share it with Zhou Chen, so that he could make a success of his stinky tofu business.
On the other end,
The reason Zhou Ling didn't come to set up her stall was because Zhao Kun gave the money she earned from setting up her stall these past few days to Old Mrs. Zhao.
In addition, Zhao Kun didn't accompany her to set up her stall and went to his friend's place every day, which made Zhou Ling quite resentful. In a fit of anger, she simply quit.
"She may not have the life of a princess, but she has the heart of one. What woman doesn't work? If you ask her to do more, she gets all excited. Do you think doing more work will kill her?"
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't stand Zhou Ling for not doing profitable business, so she started being sarcastic and mean-spirited.
At first, Zhou Ling was concerned about saving face and respecting her elders, but she was bullied by Old Madam Zhao from time to time. She was too lazy to think about it so much, especially since she was now pregnant with the Zhao family's child. Why should she continue to suffer such grievances when Old Madam Zhao treated her like this?
So, when faced with Old Mrs. Zhao, she was not to be outdone and retorted sharply, "Yes, every woman does housework, so why don't you do it? Will you die from doing more work?"
"You little brat, you've gone too far! How dare you talk back to me?" Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she was practically fuming. She immediately raised her arm.
Zhou Ling didn't care at all. She stepped forward, stuck out her belly, and sneered, "So what if I talk back to you? You don't act like an elder. You expect me to listen to you? No way. You want to hit me? Come on, hit me. You'd better hit my belly. If you're so capable, get rid of your son's seed. If you don't dare, then shut up."
