Chapter 18: Business is booming



The woman called Qiu Niang came back to her senses from her shock, her eyes shining brightly.

"Oh my god, it's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious buns."

“It’s delicious.”

"I never thought fish could be used to make dumplings. The skin is thin and the filling is rich. Even the elderly with bad teeth can eat it..."

Qiu Niang said a lot of words in a row.

Regardless of other people's reactions, she quickly said, "Give me ten, no, give me twenty. My mother-in-law has bad teeth and can't eat. I think she can eat this."

"And my two sons can eat, they should like this, so let's buy twenty first!"

"This is so delicious, I have to buy it home for the whole family to taste."

Qiu Wenqin was stunned when she heard that the woman bought twenty at once.

The main reason was that I didn’t expect that someone would buy so much at the beginning.

Yes, they also thought the buns were very delicious when they ate them in the morning. Even now, when they smell the fragrance, they can still savor it.

The main thing is to make sure you are full, otherwise you can eat a few more.

Hua Xinuo looked at her mother in a daze and quickly asked her eldest brother to help pack the buns.

He packed twenty dumplings and handed them to the woman, who put them in a basket and gave her thirty coins.

The woman was about to go back happily, but then she turned back and said, "Are you still going to sell fish dumplings here? No, fish soup dumplings?"

What they were talking about just now was xiaolongbao, which probably means small dumplings.

Anyway, the woman enjoyed the food and didn't care about the few copper coins.

Her family runs a business and is well off, so she often carries a basket to the pier to go to the morning market, just to buy some fresh ingredients and make delicious meals for her family.

Qiu Wenqin finally realized what was happening and quickly said with a smile, "Yes, we'll be selling dumplings here from now on. We'll have fish and mushroom ones. Thank you for your support, madam!"

The lady smiled and said, "Your buns are indeed delicious. I've eaten at other bun stalls on the pier, and they taste pretty good, but they can't compare to yours."

Madam is telling the truth.

But Hua Xinuo didn't want to be so high-profile, so she quickly said, "Thank you, beautiful sister."

"The buns at other stalls are also delicious, but they are large buns. Ours are xiaolongbao, made differently. Everyone eats them fresh and the taste is different."

They just want to do business in a quiet and low-key manner, but don't want to be too rampant or attract attention.

Hua Xinuo said it in a sweet and crisp voice, looking so cute and lovable that everyone couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere was very good for a while.

"The little girl is quite kind and righteous!"

"He's so smart at such a young age."

"This eldest sister has such sensible sons and daughters, and each one is so handsome. She is so lucky."

When Qiu Wenqin heard everyone's compliments, her heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

Although making a living by fishing has been hard in recent years, she feels comforted by the fact that her family is together and her children are sensible, considerate and filial.

"Yes, they are very sensible. They have been helping with housework and fishing since they were young. Unfortunately, we didn't have any skills before, and the children were hungry. That's why we thought of starting a small business."

"We make dumplings with freshly caught fish. It's a small business, and we want to make sure the children have enough to eat..."

Qiu Wenqin was not so nervous at this time and started talking to everyone.

Everyone felt quite emotional when they saw Qiu Wenqin's family wearing worn and patched clothes.

Also, although the family's clothes were patched, they were neat and clean.

Even the little girl was dressed neatly, and the whole family was good-looking, making it a pleasure to look at.

Especially the little girl, she really looked like the dolls in the New Year pictures, and everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

At this time, more people gathered around. After everyone tasted the small bun, they all nodded in praise, "It's really good."

Plus the woman who bought twenty at once.

Her neighbor quickly stopped her and said, "Qiuniang, wait a moment, I want to buy some first."

“I’ll buy ten!”

Qiu Wenqin hurriedly packed the small dumplings and the woman gave her fifteen cents.

In just a short while, she had earned forty-five cents. Qiu Wenqin was extremely excited.

Even Hua Hanmao and Hua Hanbin were stunned.

They were nervous and excited last night.

What’s exciting is that I can do business and should be able to make money.

What they are worried about is that people won’t buy their fish buns.

Unexpectedly, my sister still had a solution.

"Give me six!"

“I’ll buy six too!”

“I’ll buy four!”

Many people came to show their support, some because they tried the food for free and it was indeed delicious, and some because they wanted to support this family's business.

Although the buns are small, everyone thinks three cents for two is still very cheap. You can eat delicious fish without any fishy smell and have a bun at the same time.

In ancient times, when there was no technology like television or the internet, people were still willing to join in the fun.

Seeing that there were a lot of people gathered here, they all came over to see what was going on.

When I found out they were selling xiaolongbao (small dumplings), I thought it was strange and decided to ask around.

"Hey bro, you're really late. All the free buns are gone."

"But to be honest, they are really delicious, and cheap, two for three cents, and they are fish."

There is no need for Qiu Wenqin and others to explain, the people queuing up to buy buns will naturally help explain why they are gathered here.

“Is it really that delicious?”

"Of course. Don't you see everyone wants to buy it?"

"I think there aren't many buns left. I hope they won't run out soon."

The small buns made with fresh ingredients that you have never seen before look delicate and appetizing, especially when the lid of the steamer is opened, the aroma is simply tempting.
