Two more stalls selling yellow-skinned iced drinks appeared in front of the match factory, and they were cheaper than Liang Guiying's, selling for 5 cents a bowl. As a result, Liang Guiying still had more than half a bucket left when she sold them until 2:30 pm.
Chen Ping quietly came over: "They are the same family as the person selling turtle jelly up ahead. I was observing them in the vicinity a few days ago, and I found it strange at the time. It turns out they were stealing your recipe."
As the saying goes, "No one cultivates barren land, but everyone fights over fertile land," Liang Guiying was well prepared for this situation.
She put Zhou Xiaonian down and wiped her sweat while saying, "It's not some high-tech thing. You'll learn it after fiddling with it a few times. It's not like you're learning by stealing someone else's knowledge."
Giving the two families a disdainful look, Chen Ping continued, "The point is, if they're going to steal your techniques, they can sell them elsewhere. There are so many factories in Jiangcheng, they can go anywhere else. Why do they have to sell here? They're clearly trying to squeeze you out! This family is so stingy, so unethical, and so malicious! And you have a child with you..."
After listening to Chen Ping's complaints, Liang Guiying remained calm: "Ah Ping, thank you for speaking up for me, but everyone has their difficulties. Why should others take care of me? I'll try selling for a few more days. If I really can't sell, I'll go sell somewhere else."
"You have such a good temper, you're always smiling, no wonder people take advantage of you."
Liang Guiying touched her face. She had always been told that she had a fierce look, but now people were saying that she had a good temper.
I've heard that love can make people grow flesh and blood. Maybe it's because I've spent so much time with Zhou Yue and my beloved granddaughter that I've unconsciously become gentler.
Seeing Zhou Xiaonian rubbing her eyes, Liang Guiying picked her up, still smiling, "I have a child with me, I can't just rush up and fight them... My granddaughter is sleepy, I'll take her back to sleep first. Ping, I wish you good business."
As they passed the two stalls selling yellow-skinned iced drinks, the two men looked wary, but Liang Guiying still smiled and said, "Sold out on the first day, congratulations!"
The two looked at each other, and only whispered to each other after Liang Guiying had passed by.
One person asked, "Why isn't she angry?"
Another person said, "She has a child with her, how could she dare to be angry with us?"
"...Why don't we go somewhere else? They've had a tough time."
"How do you know it will definitely sell well elsewhere? Why ignore the existing market and go off to try and make things difficult? Are you just bored or have too much money to burn? Go if you want, I'm not going!"
Chen Ping overheard this and spat out a curse. He was immediately subjected to a torrent of abuse by the two men. If it weren't for someone else mediating, Chen Ping would have been beaten up.
Liang Guiying was unaware of the disputes at the match factory.
There was still more than half a bucket left in the morning. If we sell some more in the afternoon, we should be able to sell it all, so Liang Guiying can take a break in the afternoon.
But Liang Guiying couldn't stay idle.
First, boil water and kill the chicken.
She's been incredibly busy these past few days, and she and Niannian have been eating rather haphazardly. She doesn't mind; she can eat plain porridge three times a day, but Niannian can't.
Kill a chicken, stew it, and the grandmother and granddaughter will eat it before leaving in the afternoon, and then eat it again when they come back in the evening.
Liang Guiying barely managed to sell out the remaining half-bucket by 7:30, while the two new stalls each sold one bucket.
Jiangcheng Match Factory has more than 2,000 employees, but only a small group of people like to drink yellow-skinned iced drinks.
The market is only so big. If there are two stalls of the same kind, the market will be saturated. If there are three people, then one person will inevitably be squeezed out.
Those two people were family, and they sold for less than her, so Liang Guiying was bound to be squeezed out.
