Chapter 173: Child Bride She is Happy and Carefree Thirteen
Ever since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started making money by setting up a stall at the ferry, they have been staying here, leaving early and returning late every day.
Although business is sometimes good and sometimes bad, I can always make a hundred or so coins every day.
This is much better than staying at home and farming.
Even if you use the money you earn to buy food, it is still more than the food you would get from the land.
But An Siyuan couldn't bear to leave the crops in the fields, so he would occasionally stay at home to do farm work.
Unless we get news that a big ship merchant will come to the ferry, we will probably come to help when we are too busy.
With this division of labor, the pressure on An Siyuan will be much greater, but there is no other way. How can you make money without suffering?
But Lin Wanwan doesn't think so.
She originally thought that this small business at the ferry would only last for a short period of time, and that others would follow suit when they saw them doing business here.
By then, business will not be as good as it is now.
But who would have thought that they had been here for more than 10 days and still no one else came here to steal their business.
On this day, Lin Wanwan came to the stall with her mother-in-law Liu Xiaoyan as usual.
While I was greeting familiar guests, a group of people suddenly came over from the ferry.
These people all looked ferocious, some of them had naked upper bodies and carried big swords in their hands.
He walked unsteadily, which made him look even scarier.
When the workers at the ferry saw them, they quickly moved aside.
The laborers waiting at the stalls hurriedly moved aside when they saw them.
"An family sister, these people are not easy to mess with. Be careful. If you can't do it, just abandon the stall and run away."
There was an uncle who reminded me before leaving.
It’s a pity that those strong men had already walked over. After saying this, Lao Khan quickly ran away with the crowd.
"Hey, when did a stall appear here?"
"What delicious food do you have? Hurry up and prepare it for us."
"If you're slow, don't blame me for not recognizing you with my knife."
One of the men carrying a big knife took the knife off his shoulder and stuck it into the ground.
The ground was already very hard, and it was inserted into it as easily as cutting tofu.
From here you can see how sharp the sword is.
"We have wontons, noodles, and egg pancakes. What would you like to order?"
"Please be careful with your weapons. Don't damage the building or the customers who come to eat here."
Facing these people, Lin Wanwan was not afraid at all.
She said this without showing any fear, regardless of Liu Xiaoyan who was tugging at her clothes from behind.
"Hey, you're an interesting kid!"
"How old are you, kid? Are you 16?"
The big man became interested when he saw that Lin Wanwan was not afraid of him, and turned his head to look at the two people standing behind the stove.
"I'm almost 17 years old, uncle, what would you like to eat?"
"The things in our shop are of good quality and low price. Tea with tea leaves is one cent a bowl, plain noodles are four cents a bowl, and those with bone broth are six cents."
"A bowl of large wontons in bone broth costs seven cents, and an egg pancake costs five cents."
"If you are willing to spend money, you can also name the dishes, we can cook them all here."
"It just takes some time to go to the village and prepare the ingredients."
"But the price of stir-fried dishes here is half a percent higher than in town."
Lin Wanwan would occasionally take on some cooking jobs, but most of the time she would give instructions in advance the night before and bring the ingredients over the next day.
It's not common to see strong men appear suddenly like this.
"Money is not a problem. Take these two taels of silver and prepare a good meal for us brothers."
The strong man didn't seem to want to make things difficult for Lin Wanwan and the others. He took out two taels of silver from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Okay!"
"Please wait a moment, my guests. I will go and prepare the ingredients."
After taking the silver, Lin Wanwan stuffed it into her bag.
"Mom, take out the vegetables we brought and wash them. I'll go to the village to buy a chicken."
Lin Wanwan carried the basket of vegetables out of the house. Liu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that those people did not take action.
"Go and come back quickly. I can't handle these people."
Liu Xiaoyan didn't even dare to look at these people straight in the eye. It was simply immoral to have bare arms in broad daylight.
"Don't be afraid, Mom. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't take action easily."
"These big brothers should be in the escort business. They value friendship and loyalty the most. However, people in the underworld will not easily attack us ordinary people."
Lin Wanwan comforted Liu Xiaoyan.
This also made the strong men next to her look at her with more respect.
Don't be fooled by this little guy's youthful appearance, he is actually quite knowledgeable.
"Big sister, just treat us with good wine and delicious food. Money is not a problem. We really won't attack anyone casually."
"The underworld has its own rules. It can't involve ordinary people like you. You'd better put your heart at ease!"
A shorter, dark-faced man in the crowd was afraid that Liu Xiaoyan would be too frightened to do so and would be hesitant, resulting in the food she cooked not being tasty enough.
So he pretended to be kind and made a few excuses for himself and others.
"Mom, you see these brothers are quite kind. Just do what you need to do. I'll be back soon."
Seeing that these people said they would not take action, Liu Xiaoyan felt relieved.
After Lin Wanwan left, she took out the vegetables from the basket and sorted them out.
He looked at the people sitting around the table again, calculated the portions and started washing the vegetables.
Lin Wanwan left the stall and walked towards the village, but when she reached the place where she could carry people, she turned around and went into the mountains.
After a while, he came back carrying a little wild boar.
"Gentlemen, you are in for a treat today. I was just about to go to the village to buy a chicken, but on the way I met a hunter who had just shot a small wild boar."
"Is this little wild boar something you'd like? If you like it, I'll give you a whole pig feast!"
The little wild boar had just fainted. When it came in front of everyone, Lin Wanwan used a little hidden strength and the little wild boar began to kick its legs.
However, Lin Wanwan tied it tightly enough, so no matter how it struggled, it was useless.
"Oh, this is a living little wild boar!"
"Hey bro, how much did you pay for this wild boar? We want it!"
The leader of the sturdy men stepped forward to take a look, and seeing the little wild boar jumping around, he immediately became greedy.
They had been on the boat for so long that they were tired of eating fish and shrimp, so they wanted to eat some wild game from the mountains.
So when I saw Lin Wanwan and her friends’ stall, I was very happy. However, they had a bad reputation, which was ruined by their peers.
We have passed several ferry crossings, but there are no stalls selling cooked food.
It's rare to meet someone who is willing to provide cooking.
I originally planned to go to the village to buy them a chicken, but ended up bringing back an unexpected surprise.
