Then he began to explain.
San Niu's saliva kept dripping down her face.
"Dad, do you mean that eggs that are originally fragrant and soft will become even saltier and more fragrant after being soaked and boiled in these bay leaves?"
"My goodness, that must be so delicious."
He swallowed hard.
"I only have sixty coins left, so I can only buy thirty in the village."
After finishing their meal, Da Zhu and Er Zhu, carrying a huge sum of sixty copper coins, began a massive buying spree within their circle.
The village was never very big to begin with.
The news quickly reached Uncle Chen and the old village head's house.
Uncle Chen frowned. "What are you planning to cook this time?"
"Wouldn't it be better to sell his cold noodles for a while first? Starting to expand his business so quickly is too hasty and not a good idea."
Soon Dazhu and Erzhu arrived at the door.
Uncle Chen wanted to give a lecture.
But he kept his mouth shut.
Take ten eggs from home.
Erzhu was about to pay.
Uncle Chen waved his hand in refusal, saying, "Tell your father to be down-to-earth in his business and not to take such big steps. You need money everywhere when you first start a business. Consider these eggs a loan from me, and you can pay me back when your business grows bigger."
Dazhu didn't know what to say, he just kept thanking him.
Erzhu calmly said, "Grandpa, don't worry. This is a decision my father made after careful consideration. As you know, my father has been a scoundrel for so long, but he suddenly realized his mistake. Every thought he has made is within his plan. Even if it fails—and I mean, if—it's still better than him lying at home beating and scolding us every day. Don't you think so?"

Da Zhuzi looked at his brother with a bewildered expression.
Uncle Chen nodded in deep agreement.
"That makes sense."
We left Uncle Chen's house.
Dazhu: "Second brother, is it possible that Dad decided to make tea eggs on his way home? How can you say that about Dad?"
Erzhu asked earnestly, "Am I not telling the truth?"
Then he felt it necessary to talk to his older brother about his mindset.
"For someone like Dad, it's normal for others not to understand. Our family is just starting out in business and needs support, even blind support."
"Only then can we achieve good results."
“As members of the Chen family, if even we sons can’t have confidence in our own business, how could Grandpa be as at ease as he was just now?”
"A lie can also be a white lie."
Dazhu scratched his head.
"Second brother, I mean, is there a possibility that the tea eggs won't sell as well as the cold noodles? What will we say to Grandpa then?"
The two pillars remained calm.
"Brother, is it possible that I didn't think that much about it?"
"We're only responsible for collecting the eggs."
"Let Dad lie to himself."
Chen Dazhu: "..."
Second brother, you know how to shift the blame.
