Chapter 36 Pay First



"Everyone, these are some new flatbreads I made. Please have a taste."

After it was handed over, everyone looked at it but didn't touch it. Song Ning smiled and said, "This is our new product, free samples."

Once they heard it was free, everyone stopped hesitating and started eating the cold noodles.

A bite of baked flatbread, a bite of cold noodles—a perfect match.

Her scones received unanimous praise.

"This pancake is delicious, how much is it?" someone asked.

"One penny each."

A steamed bun costs two coins now, and her baked flatbread costs one coin, so there should be a market for them.

I heard it cost one penny, and many people bought another one.

As Song Ning was greeting guests, she saw someone walking towards her from not far away.

Song Erhai.

Song Ning's face, which had been smiling, immediately turned cold upon seeing the person.

Song Erhai swaggered over and immediately ordered, "Give me six servings of liangpi!"

Those living at the Song family's old residence knew that the Song family had been doing business recently, and when Song Erhai came to town today, they remembered this matter.

Before, his older brother would always serve him whatever he wanted at the old house. Now, he can eat as much cold noodles as he wants.

His older brother's business is his business.

Song Ning didn't speak, pretending not to hear. Aunt Zhao was perceptive and, being from the same village, knew what kind of person Song Erhai was. Seeing that Song Ning ignored her, she didn't speak either.

Seeing that Song Ning hadn't moved, Song Erhai slammed his hand on the table: "Hey Er Ya, don't you even recognize your second uncle? You've made money in business, so you don't recognize your own family anymore? That doesn't make sense!"

Song Ning took a deep breath and looked up at him: "Want to eat liangpi? Sure, one bowl of liangpi costs three coins, six bowls would be eighteen coins, pay first."

Song Erhai's face visibly stiffened for a moment, then he continued shamelessly, "Money? You want money from me?"

Song Erhai chuckled, as if he had heard a joke: "Hey Er Ya, we're family. Ask everyone here, which family doesn't give money to their elders after they make money? You're so young and you're not learning anything good. It's one thing if you don't bring money home, but now you want to take my money!"

In Song Erhai's eyes, all the money earned by Song Dahai's family belonged to the Song family, and by all accounts, it was his money.

Nowadays, most families live together as a large extended family, and all the money earned is handed over to the head of the family. It is very rare for families to separate. Moreover, filial impiety is the most taboo thing in this era.

When Song Erhai said this, everyone thought it made sense and immediately started pointing fingers at Song Ning.
