The restaurant "Good Taste" became an instant hit, and even after the peak lunch hour, it was still packed with customers in the afternoon.
"Uncle Xu, didn't you just buy some and take them home? Why are you here again?" Song Yan teased him with a smile.
"I just thought your cooking is delicious, so I bought some to send to my older brother. He has bad teeth, so your braised pig's head is perfect for him," Uncle Xu replied with a smile.
"Uncle Xu, are you going to visit relatives this afternoon? Then I must pick out a good one for you." After saying that, Song Yan lifted the gauze covering the plate and began to carefully select the item.
"Yes, yes, pick a fatty piece; lean meat doesn't taste good." Uncle Xu nodded in agreement, and the two discussed together which piece to choose.
"Uncle, this is for my eldest uncle. Please give my regards." Song Yan also packed a bag of chicken wings and drumsticks, as well as two bags of braised dishes, and handed them over.
"No, no, that won't do. Your business is small, you just opened today, I can't accept yours." Uncle Xu waved his hand in refusal.
"Uncle Xu hasn't been back for several years, and I haven't had a chance to see him. When we were little, he loved to give us candy. This is my way of showing my respect to him. Please don't think it's too little." Song Yan knew that Uncle Xu was in poor health and rarely left the house now.
"You silly child!" Uncle Xu had no choice but to take the things.
"Uncle, how are you getting there? By car?" Song Yan looked up and glanced eastward.
"Hmm, it's almost time." Uncle Xu glanced to the east and then urged Song Yan to hurry up and find the money.
Song Yan rounded down the price by 20% on top of the 20% discount.
"You silly girl, don't lose money!" Uncle Xu asked worriedly, looking at the things in his hand.
"If you come a few more times in the future, I'll have everything I need!" Song Yan said to Uncle Xu, then turned around and shouted into the shop behind her.
"Pillar, come out here for a moment."
"Here I am!" A teenager darted out quickly.
"Auntie, you called me."
"Come over here and help your Uncle Xu with his things. See him onto the car and then come back," Song Yan instructed.
"Okay!"
Zhu Zi carefully took the things from Uncle Xu's hands and helped him walk towards the station.
"You can rest when there are fewer people in the afternoon, otherwise you'll all be exhausted." Liu Zi walked over to Song Yan's side.
"Well, today is special. I'll have someone make a sign and put it at the door tomorrow." Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a stool.
"Is there much food left?"
"There are still three plates left, and I estimate they'll be sold out by tonight. We need to start preparing for tomorrow! Let's see how things go in the next few days. It would be best if we implemented a purchase limit. Once these are sold out, that's it. That way, we'll have fresh stock every day, and it'll be easier to control the taste." Liu Zi also sat down to the side; there were too many people at noon.
"Oh no, I broke my promise. I said I'd give you all the food today. I bet people will nag me about it tonight!" Despite saying that, Song Yan couldn't stop smiling.
They prepared fifteen plates of meat! And most of them were gone by noon, that's amazing!
"Whether you regret it or not, seeing me make money, do you want to change your mind?" Song Yan teased with a smile.
"No change. Like I said, I don't want to wash intestines." Liu Zi arrogantly turned her head away. She earns quite a bit from writing, you know!
"By the way, do you have any connections to buy computers and printers?" Liu Zi suddenly asked.
"Why buy that? It's ridiculously expensive." Song Yan clicked her tongue. She had heard Jun Ge mention that thing; one unit cost over 10,000 yuan. How much meat would she have to sell to earn that back?
"I need it, could you ask for me?"
Liu Zi has cut off most of her original friends and classmates in the years since she got married, and she doesn't have many connections in this area.
I've heard that if you don't have someone knowledgeable to guide you, you'll definitely get ripped off if you go to Zhongguancun to buy a computer now.
She has been writing all her manuscripts by hand lately, which has not only slowed her down but also caused calluses to form on her hands.
Now that she has money, of course she wants to improve her writing environment and produce more works; she can still figure that out.
"Alright! I'll have Brother Jun inquire about it when I get back."
Song Yan thought that Liu Zi needed to write an article to send to the magazine, and figured that the computer could help, so she agreed.
"I'll head back now, Qiqi should go to sleep!" Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Liu Zi prepared to ride her bike home.
"Come over for dinner tonight, let's celebrate," Song Yan instructed.
"No, I need to rest. I'm too tired from helping you these past two days." Liu Zi shook her head and refused. Don't think she didn't know that Sister Yan was trying to get her to do free work again.
"I'm already late with my draft; if I'm any later, my editor will call and yell at me."
Before Song Yan could speak again, Liu Zi unleashed her trump card.
"Alright, you should go back now!"
Upon hearing Liu Zi's words, Song Yan dared not delay her any longer, as contributing articles to the magazine was a major matter in her view.
Her sister is so successful, how can she hold her back?
Many people helped with the food stall, and everyone knows what needs to be noted, so we really don't need her anymore!
Liu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, got on her little motorcycle, and took Zhao Qi, who was already rubbing her eyes, on her way home.
At that moment, Dashan rushed out from the hotel and ran to Liu Zi.
"Aunt Liu, can I come to your house to play with Qiqi sometime?"
"certainly!"
Liu Zi was surprised by Da Shan's question. She looked down at her daughter and then asked.
"Qiqi, do you like playing with Brother Dashan?"
"like!"
Although Zhao Qi was very sleepy, she still managed to put on a smile.
Unlike her brother, Da Shan treated her very well, and she liked playing with him.
Hearing Qiqi's words, Dashan rubbed the back of his head and chuckled foolishly.
"Dashan, don't you think Qiqi is too young? It's too much trouble for you to take care of her." Liu Zi asked curiously.
"Although Qiqi is young, she is very sensible and pretty. She's much cuter than my brother Xiaoshan." Dashan's face showed disdain when Xiaoshan was mentioned.
"You have to go to school during the week, so come visit Qiqi when you have free time during the holidays!" Liu Zi said with a smile, finding a solution that satisfies both parties.
Seeing Song Yan rolling her eyes and glaring at her eldest son not far away, Liu Zi suddenly had a terrible idea.
She waved to the mountains and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Really?" Da Shan's eyes widened.
"Of course, just look at Qiqi and you'll know." Liu Zi smiled like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Okay, I'll listen to Aunt Liu." Da Shan pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
"Remember, you must say this when your grandparents are present," Liu Zi reminded him, lest the child get beaten up without anyone protecting him.
"Okay, I understand!" Da Shan clenched his fist and assured him.
Years later, when little Song Dashan was gently coaxing his adorable little sister, he felt extremely grateful for Aunt Liu Zi's guidance back then.
After hearing Da Shan's assurance, Liu Zi smiled slyly and ran off with Zhao Qi.
Unbeknownst to her, when the little boy returned to the backyard and saw his grandparents resting nearby, he could no longer contain his excitement and shouted, "Mom, I want a little sister!"
