Chapter 45 Pei's Sorrow
Chen Wu suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted to go back to the boat, eat a wrap made by Miss Ji, and then come down to help.
Just as he was thinking this, he found someone standing not far away. He thought he was dazzled, but when he looked closely, who else could it be but Miss Ji?
Why would Miss Ji appear here so early in the morning? He stepped forward and greeted her, "Miss Ji, why are you here?"
This is not the time for Miss Ji to set up her stall.
"Mr. Xiao ordered a lot of food from me, I came to give it to him."
When Chen Wu heard that there was food, his eyes lit up and he looked at the ox cart behind her.
Be good!
There was a whole cart of food, all prepared by Miss Ji. It must taste good. No wonder he smelled the fragrance as soon as he came down.
"By the way, Brother Chen, these are for you." Ji Zhisui handed Chen Wu a bag of pork jerky.
She made this specially as a snack for the whole family.
Before leaving, he thought about Brother Chen who was also leaving today. He was the first real customer and brought the first wave of business to the burrito stall, which helped him a lot.
She took out some of the extra pork jerky and planned to give it away as a thank you gift.
"No, no." Chen Wu refused. He had no relationship with the young lady and he didn't spend any money, so how could he accept anything she gave him.
"Brother Chen, you brought the first batch of business to our stall, you must accept it, it's not something expensive.
Chen Wu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the bag and looked at the square blocks in front of him. They were things he had never seen before.
"What's this?"
"This is called pork jerky. You can just eat it as it is. It's a snack."
"Thank you, Miss Ji." Chen Wu took over the pork bun with a particularly bright smile on his face.
Miss Ji is such a nice person. She even prepared food for me.
In the future, he must go to the merchant ships passing through Qizhou County more often to take care of Miss Ji's spring roll business.
After the things were loaded onto the ship, it was time for the merchant ship to leave. Ji Zhisui said goodbye to his group and went home.
Although he had completed a big order and earned more than four taels of silver after deducting the cost, Ji Zhisui did not dare to relax and went back to make spring rolls.
If I don’t set up the stall today, who knows what accidents might happen.
It turned out that her guess was right, and yesterday's seat was taken by the short and fat lady again.
Ji Zhisui didn't take it to heart and just focused on selling spring rolls.
Her attitude of ignoring was very effective. After the commotion yesterday, it invisibly promoted Ji Zhisui's burritos and made the burrito stall more famous.
More people came to buy, and more than 200 wraps were sold in the morning alone.
When it comes to burritos, everyone only recognizes the ones made by Miss Ji. Only her burritos are authentic, delicious and cost-effective.
Ji Zhisui's place was crowded, and there was no one around to ask the short and fat lady, which made her feel very depressed.
Even lowering the price didn't work, and those people set their sights on Ji Zhisui's stall.
The young man next to the old lady was a little anxious, "Mom, what should we do? We haven't sold a single wrap yet!"
Business was pretty good yesterday morning, selling about seventy or eighty burritos, and we haven't even started yet.
If I still can't sell them, won't all the things I prepared today be wasted? If this continues in the future, I won't even make back my investment, which is a huge loss!
"What should I do? How do I know what to do?" The short and fat lady felt even worse.
She looked in the direction of Ji Zhisui's stall with a fierce look. It was that little bitch who destroyed her business and made them end up like this.
She must teach this little bitch a lesson, otherwise she will really think that their family is easy to bully!
Several stall owners around looked at Ji Zhisui's side, which was bustling with activity, and then looked at the short and fat lady's side, which was empty.
They were all very glad that they were not so impulsive and tried to sell burritos, otherwise they might be the ones with no business.
It seems that selling burritos is not profitable, you need good skills, and many people have given up the idea of selling burritos.
The burritos sold out quickly today, so they closed up shop.
Ji Zhisui went to the market and bought a lot of mung beans, planning to make mung bean soup, which is a great way to reduce heat in the summer.
Wash the mung beans you bought, put them in a pot with cold water and boil them. After boiling, take out the mung beans and rinse them with cold water. Put them in a pot with cold water and boil them again, then add rock sugar and cook. Finally, cover the pot and simmer for half an incense stick. The mung beans cooked in this way will bloom and the taste of the mung bean soup will be richer.
After the mung beans have cooled down, put them in the well and fish them out to make ice-cold mung bean soup.
Pei Tiantian drank the bowl of ice-cold mung bean soup and was instantly conquered. She licked her lips and said, "Third sister-in-law, it's delicious!"
"Sui Niang, selling mung bean soup in the middle of summer should be very popular." Pei Ersao suggested.
In this hot summer, after drinking a bowl of ice-cold soup, I feel refreshed all over.
Everyone agreed with the suggestion of accompanying the second sister-in-law, except Pei, who was in a restless mood after returning, as if something was on her mind.
When everyone expressed their opinions, she took a long time to react. Such abnormality could easily be noticed.
Mrs. Pei asked concernedly, "Daughter-in-law, why do you look so worried?"
"Mom, is there something wrong at the embroidery workshop?" Pei has been going to the embroidery workshop every day recently, and the only thing that worries her is work.
Pei was uneasy for a long time after she came back. It seemed that she had not done things well again. Not only did she not make any money, but she might also have brought trouble to her family. However, she did not intend to hide this matter, so she told the whole story.
Someone offered five taels of silver to ask Pei to work for Zhang's embroidery.
After hearing about the five taels of silver, she was indeed tempted. After all, their family was short of money now, and they couldn't leave all the money-making tasks to Sui Niang.
But no matter how moved she was, Pei did not forget that she was just a figurehead in Wu's Embroidery Workshop, and she even signed a document with the shopkeeper Wu.
She rejected the other party's proposal, but the originally friendly person immediately changed his face and threatened Pei that she must leave Wu's Embroidery Workshop, otherwise he would come to cause trouble for Pei's family.
After hearing this threat, Pei became very uneasy, fearing that her family would be implicated because of herself.
"Mom, do you know who is threatening you?" Pei Yian's eyes were dark. It seemed that Qizhou County was not peaceful.
"I don't know." Pei was still a little scared when she thought about it. That man looked ferocious and didn't look like a good person.
Ji Zhisui thought about the fact that Wu's Embroidery Workshop was in dire need of embroiderers, and this person must be behind the scenes. "Mom, does Shopkeeper Wu know about this?"
"No... I don't know. I didn't dare to tell you." The man said that if he revealed it to others, he would never let him go. Except for his family, Pei didn't dare to reveal anything to anyone else, for fear of getting into trouble.
