The children all had smiles on their faces and were filled with excitement and joy. From the moment they appeared on the street, the joy spread.
Passersby couldn't help but look sideways when they saw their unique yet uniform outfits.
The children's brisk steps and tender voices immediately attracted their attention.
The little guys held their heads high and chests puffed out, not at all nervous, and shouted in clear voices, "Lin's Pickled Fish, it's sour, it's vegetable, and it's fish. We're having a big opening sale tomorrow, 50% off and free iced drinks. Only for three days, only three days!"
Lin Mo followed from a distance and blushed a little when he heard it. He still felt a little embarrassed when he was shouted like that in the street.
Fortunately, these children didn't feel it at all, and even became more and more excited as they shouted. The momentum of their shouting was even more domineering and powerful than that of the street vendors.
This attracted many passers-by to watch and ask questions, and before long, a lot of cards were distributed.
The people here have never seen this kind of cards before. They are all very curious and can't help but touch the cards when they see the beautiful and colorful pictures on them.
After asking around, they found out that it was a dish from a new store, and they became even more curious. Many people couldn't help but go into the store.
When they heard that the store would open tomorrow, many people looked disappointed.
But this sense of anticipation and appetite has been aroused even more intensely.
This kind of small card promotion method appeared for the first time. Many people were reluctant to throw away such beautiful cards even if they did not go to the store, so they put them all in their pockets and kept them away.
These children have been struggling in the town for years. Compared to begging for food, dressing neatly and handing out small cards to people is actually a very easy job for them.
When begging, you have to consider other people's expressions. Sometimes you may not get a single penny even if you talk your mouth off. If you are unlucky, you may be beaten and kicked for being a nuisance.
Only they themselves know the bitterness and suffering involved.
Seeing that the children were all very talkative, Lin Mo stopped following them. He went to the bun shop and bought some freshly steamed meat buns and brought them back to the store.
He thought everyone was busy with their own things, but he didn't expect that everyone was busy in the kitchen.
"Third brother, you're back!"
As soon as he saw Lin Mo, Lin Mo ran over excitedly. He excitedly took the bun from Lin Mo's hand and took a bite of most of it: "Wow! It's a meat bun! This is my first time eating a meat bun!"
While eating, Lin Wu distributed the buns to everyone in the kitchen. The food window was large enough, and everyone reached out to take them. It was also their first time to eat meat buns.
"Lin Mo, you're here just in time. We're opening tomorrow, and I'm afraid everyone isn't familiar with the kitchen, so I'll bring them here first to get used to it."
Su Mu trotted out of the kitchen and looked at Lin Mo, unable to help but feel his ears turn red.
"You must be hungry. This is for you. It's different from theirs. There's more meat in it." Lin Mo smiled and took out a meat bun wrapped in oil paper. It was indeed different from theirs.
The two contained here are a size larger than theirs.
"These two are the biggest ones I picked out, and they must have the most meat!" Lin Mo said it with confidence, and even his tone had a hint of flattery.
Su Mu raised the corner of his mouth, took the bun handed to him by Lin Mo, took a bite, but didn't get any meat in two consecutive bites.
“…”
It was not until he had almost finished eating that he saw a piece of meat filling the size of a thumb in the center of the bun, and Su Mu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lin Mo saw it at a glance. It turned out that the two largest meat buns that he had carefully selected for half a day actually had the least meat.
He couldn't help but blushing, feeling a little embarrassed, but when he met Su Mu's bright and smiling eyes, he felt that it didn't matter whether he kept his face or not.

"You're all already familiar with the kitchen utensils. After dinner, everyone should go to bed early tonight so that we can be in top condition for the grand opening tomorrow."
Lin Mo spoke in a loud voice, his eyes sweeping over all the people lined up neatly, his tone full of encouragement and trust.
Everyone was busy in the kitchen in the afternoon, and it was not as chaotic as they had imagined.
The kitchen is spacious and clearly divided, and the utensils are much more convenient than those used during the training in Linjia Village. Everyone quickly adapted to the operational procedures.
Everyone seemed excited when they thought about opening the business tomorrow and actually starting operations.
After hearing Lin Mo's encouragement and motivation, his blood boiled and he wished tomorrow would come immediately.
The restaurant outside displayed the fruits of their afternoon's labor: golden soup pickled fish, spicy boiled fish, braised fish, steamed sea bass, and chopped pepper fish head.
The shop only has five main dishes, plus two cold dishes. Lin Mo had prepared the two cold dishes beforehand, so the quantity was limited. One is spicy and sour chicken feet, and the other is sweet and spicy white radish.
There are not many types of iced drinks, including iced milk tea and three seasonal fruit teas.
Animal husbandry in this world is relatively well developed, probably because there is a third gender, that is, boys. Dairy sheep and cows are relatively common.
Although the price of milk tea is not low, most people can still afford it if they grit their teeth.
"The dishes we're making today all have standard ingredients. When we open tomorrow, diners can choose the fish they want and the vegetarian ingredients they want to add from the glass tanks at the counter."
"Xiao Wu will be responsible for delivering the dishes selected by the guests to the kitchen tomorrow. Big Brother will be in charge of the drinks. I'll do the weighing. Mu Mu, you'll be in charge of collecting the money."
"Awen and Tuanzi are on standby. I'll call you if I need any errands."
Because he didn't know how many customers would be there tomorrow, Lin Mo could only make the most reasonable arrangements first. If there were too many diners, he could adjust the measures at any time.
In the evening, the ten child laborers who were distributing promotional cards outside returned to the shop.
Their performance today was perfect, and all the cards in everyone's hands were distributed. Although the little ones were tired and sweating, with red faces, they all had smiles on their faces.
They even had the most satisfying and luxurious meal they could ever remember in the shop. These kids were all little smart kids, each one sweeter than the other.
Even when facing a table full of unfamiliar people, he could still call them brothers and sisters warmly and affectionately, making Lin Sheng, Wang Gangtie and others laugh frequently.
After learning about the children's life stories, his face was filled with pity, and he picked up food for them much faster than at the beginning.
At night, Lin Mo arranged accommodation for Lu Amo and Tuanzi. The second floor of the left courtyard was a dormitory, and the second floor of the right courtyard was an ordinary bedroom, with only three rooms.
But the layout inside was for couples like Lu Amo and Lao Gu, so Lin Mo let them choose one room at random, and the remaining two rooms were temporarily occupied by Lin Wu and Lin Wen, one each.
Originally, Lin Mo planned to assign Tuanzi to the dormitory, but Lin Wen wanted to sleep with him because the Lin family did not plan to have Lin Mo buy someone when they built the house.
So Lin Wen and Tuanzi have always slept together, and the two children gradually developed feelings for each other after spending so much time together.
Lin Mo also wanted Tuanzi to take care of Lin Wen personally, so he readily agreed.
