Lin Chaosheng scratched his head sheepishly, then became serious again: "Mom, you really know me inside and out. But I really do have a good idea!"
Zhao Shufang quickly asked, "What good method is there?"
“Think about it, these days you need coupons to buy things like radios, right?” Lin Chaosheng paused.
"Then you should also prepare to count the tickets. Half an hour in advance each day, give one ticket to each person. Those with tickets can buy one, and those without tickets can just leave it at that."
Zhao Shufang thought for a moment, "You're right. This way, everyone can eat my potato pancakes and pork wontons."
"And this kind of thing won't happen again, since it was indeed fair and just," Lin Chaosheng added.
Zhao Shufang looked at Lin Chaosheng with satisfaction, "My goodness, how come you're so smart?"
"Isn't this inherited from you?" Lin Chaosheng joked again.
Zhao Shufang didn't argue with Lin Chaosheng and quickly pulled Xiao Fu back to the room to start writing the ballot.
"How about this, you write down 'a potato pancake and a bowl of wontons'," Zhao Shufang said to Liang Fu, pointing to the ticket.
Liang Fu hesitated for a moment, "Auntie, isn't this piece a bit too little?"
"Don't worry, just keep writing. Otherwise, things will turn out like they did today, or even worse." Zhao Shufang said thoughtfully.
She originally wanted Liang Fu to write down two pieces of shredded potatoes and two bowls of wontons.
But then he suddenly thought, what if the people who got the tickets didn't plan to buy that many? And secondly, he could also try out Lin Chaosheng's so-called "hunger marketing".
Liang Fu hesitated for a long time, but still obediently continued writing.
The next morning, Zhao Shufang was eager to get up and set up a stall to test the waters.
This time they arrived half an hour early, but there was a long queue at the stall.
When everyone saw Zhao Shufang arrive, they assumed she was setting up her stall early and quickly got into a rush to buy her goods.
But then, Liang Fu suddenly took out a stack of tickets and distributed them to the people in line.
As the people in line were wondering what was going on, Zhao Shufang spoke up: "Everyone, here's the thing, I'm going to give each of you a ticket to buy a meal, so that there won't be a situation where many people can't get any."
Then everyone looked at the tickets in their hands: one serving of potato pancakes and one bowl of pork wontons.
"Those who get a ticket can buy a meal. If you don't get one, sorry, you can come earlier to queue next time," Zhao Shufang added.
"Auntie, this is a good idea. This way, some people won't have to queue up so many times."
"That's right, Auntie, you really have a way with things!"
"Tch, making it sound like some expensive thing that anyone would want to eat."
People started discussing it, some supporting it and some not, but none of that stopped Zhao Shufang, who quickly set up her stall.
The profits this time were as high as ever, but there were no special circumstances.
On the other side, Lin Chaosheng was using his mind to enter the space and discovered that all his watermelons had sprouted seedlings.
"System, what's going on?" Lin Chaosheng asked in shock.
The plants in this space grow faster than the plants outside this space.
Lin Chaosheng was immediately delighted. It seemed that he would be able to sell watermelons soon.
He looked at the watermelon seedlings being blown by the wind in the space, and his heart blossomed with joy.
Suddenly, he remembered the land he had just bought from Li Daniu, so he went to the land and, with another thought, transplanted a small portion of the watermelon seedlings onto the land he had bought from Li Daniu.
The watermelon seedlings were planted on ordinary land. Lin Chaosheng thought to himself, this time he wouldn't have to worry about anyone having doubts, because his watermelon seedlings had legitimately grown into watermelons.
As Lin Chaosheng was admiring his watermelon seedlings swaying in the wind, a shout suddenly came from beside him.
"Brother, what are you doing there?"
Lin Chaosheng turned his head and saw that it was Lin Shansheng who had come looking for him.
Lin Chaosheng thought he had accidentally told Lin Shansheng, and wondered how Lin Shansheng knew the location of the land he had bought.
"How did you know I was here?" Lin Chaosheng asked.
Lin Shansheng squinted and said in a mysterious tone, "Actually, I can tell fortunes."
Lin Chaosheng slapped Lin Shansheng on the head, "Who taught you to play the ghost?"
Lin Shansheng groaned in pain, thinking to himself, "Who did I learn this from? It's all from you..."
But how could he dare to speak to Lin Chaosheng like that? He was afraid that Lin Chaosheng would slap him again, so he could only scratch his head and say, "I heard that you bought a piece of land from Brother Da Niu, so I came to see what you had secretly won, making it all so mysterious. As soon as I asked Brother Da Niu, he told me your location."
Lin Chaosheng waved his hand at Lin Shansheng, "Do you really want to see what I won?"
Lin Shansheng stared wide-eyed and nodded eagerly, "Is there even a question?"
So Lin Chaosheng pointed to the land next to him that was planted with watermelon seedlings, "This is it, look."
Lin Shansheng looked in the direction Lin Chaosheng was pointing and immediately froze.
He rubbed his eyes hard, but still couldn't believe it. Then he jumped into the field and carefully examined the new seedlings on the ground.
"Holy crap, is this...is this a watermelon seedling?" Lin Shansheng gently picked up a seedling leaf, examined it carefully, and then burst into shock.
“That’s right, these are watermelon seedlings.” Lin Chaosheng nodded proudly.
Lin Shansheng was completely shocked. He had no idea when his brother had acquired this ability!
So Lin Shansheng scrambled over to Lin Chaosheng's side, exclaiming, "Brother, you're not just a sea god and mountain god, you're now the earth god too!"
Lin Chaosheng waved his hand modestly, "Don't praise me anymore, you're making me feel embarrassed."
"Brother, did you really plant this?" Lin Shansheng was still in shock.
"Isn't that obvious? Besides your brother, who else could grow it?" Lin Chaosheng sometimes really wanted to crack open Lin Shansheng's skull to see what he was thinking every day.
"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!" Lin Shansheng shouted excitedly.
"Shh!" Lin Chaosheng quickly covered Lin Shansheng's mouth as he shouted, "Do you want the whole world to know about this?"
Lin Shansheng then came to his senses and dared not make another sound.
"Brother, where are you planning to sell these melons? And planting them here is too conspicuous. What if someone comes and steals them?" Lin Shansheng asked one question after another.
Lin Chaosheng had considered these issues, since they would eventually need to put a watermelon patch on the field to make it look nice. So he planned to go up the mountain one day and bring back a land creature to help him guard the watermelon patch.
However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a fierce animal with high combat strength that could also ambush people effectively.
