Sister-in-law Xiuhua called out to passersby, while Wei Yuyan broke open a few steamed buns and offered them to them.
"Why does this taste just like the one from the market?"
One of the customers who had bought steamed buns at the market immediately realized what was going on.
"Yes, we are affiliated with the market. In the future, we will sell on both sides when there is a market day, and we will also sell in the shops when there is no market day."
Wei Yuyan explained.
"That's great! Now we can eat these buns even if we don't go to the market. I want six mushroom and meat buns and one red bean bun."
The old lady readily took out ten coins and bought seven steamed buns, and many other people were subsequently attracted to the area.
"If you have time, you can sit down and eat. You can also sit inside and eat at your own pace."
Wei Yuyan pointed to the spacious lobby inside.
"It really is. It's quite a large place inside. I'll just sit down and eat."
One customer was worried that eating on the street would be unseemly.
Ninety steamed buns and mantou sold out quickly, and Wei Yuyan regretted not putting out more.
"Sister-in-law, should we make more next time?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law speaks her mind frankly.
"No, didn't you notice that many of our customers are regulars? They're probably selling slowly today."
So, next time I go to the market, I'll put a few dozen more steamed buns and rolls here to balance things out.
"You can decide the exact amount yourself."
Wei Yuyan felt that the market was already saturated, and if she made more buns and put them in the market, they might not be able to sell them all.
"Okay, I understand."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded thoughtfully, and the two of them cleaned the shop and started cooking.
Anyway, after dinner, everyone was preparing to go home, otherwise the dogs and chickens at home would starve.
Previously, Brother Lifu fed the animals at home before they came over, but this time no one fed them.
"Xiuhua, sister-in-law, we're back."
A group of three people carried in wooden buckets and baskets.
"Did you sell slower today? You came back later than usual."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law stepped forward to greet her.
"Yes, there are still dozens of buns left, and they're selling very slowly. I'm worried that they won't be sold by noon."
Fortunately, it sold out eventually, even though it was slow. Anyway, today was the slowest sales I've ever had.
Brother Lifu felt that selling steamed buns this time was really tiring, having waited for so long.
"You don't know, the shop is doing well, and it might be stealing your business."
My sister-in-law said that next time we go to the market, we should bring a few dozen more steamed buns and rolls to put on the shop side, so that things will be balanced.”
Sister-in-law Xiuhua couldn't help but admire Wei Yuyan; she guessed correctly every time.
"Okay, let's do it this way next time."
Li Fu nodded and prepared to wash his hands and eat.
After finishing their meal, everyone went home without taking a break.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, are you planning to go over tonight or tomorrow morning?"
Wei Yuyan asked after getting off the oxcart.
“After nightfall, it’s hard to get up early in the morning. My idea is to make the steamed buns tomorrow morning and go home to take care of the family. The two brothers in town are enough.”
Sister-in-law Xiuhua also came, worried about the livestock at home.
"Hmm, that's good. There's one more thing you need to remind Brother Lifu about."
Give me the money I make from selling steamed buns and from going to the market together, instead of giving me money every day.
Also, it's best to buy an account book and write down what you buy in town and how much it costs, otherwise you might forget sometimes.
Wei Yuyan also realized on the way that she couldn't not keep track of her expenses; she couldn't be careless.
"Okay, I got it."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded, and the two parted ways.
When we got home, the dog was starving and kept whimpering.
"Quickly, quickly start a fire."
Xiao Lei happily ran to the kitchen to start a fire, while Qianqian was even more mischievous, running to the room to find flour to make dumpling soup for the puppy.
"Qianqian, go pick some vegetables for the chicks and rabbits. Sister-in-law, come and make noodle soup."
Even though Wei Yuyan was very sleepy, she was still worried about them cooking these things alone.
Previously, there were times when I had no choice but to let Xiaolei cook meals alone.
After feeding the animals, Wei Yuyan finally fell into a deep sleep.
The village chief's house.
"Cuifang, your father went to the market today and bought some meat. Your mother made braised pork for you, hurry up~".
The village chief's wife placed the pork belly on the table and quickly closed the door, afraid that some villagers might see it if they passed by.
"They've arrived."
Liu Cuifang has been a bit lazy lately and likes to sleep, but when she heard there was braised pork, she got a little tempted and quickly got up.
"Braised pork belly ~ ugh ~".
Before Liu Cuifang even sat down at the table and looked at the greasy man's fatty meat in her bowl, she suddenly felt nauseous.
Immediately, the village chief and his wife both stopped what they were doing and stared at her.
“What’s wrong, Cuifang? You…”
The village chief's wife had a bad feeling; it was a bit like...
"I'm fine, Mom. My stomach is just a little upset. I'll feel better after I eat."
Liu Cuifang didn't take it seriously and put the braised pork in her mouth.
"Ugh~".
As soon as the greasy braised pork entered her mouth, Liu Cuifang felt nauseous again.
"You... tell your mother the truth, did you sleep with that man surnamed Sun?"
The village chief's wife was now even more certain and asked directly.
"Mother, what are you saying? I just caught a cold."
Liu Cuifang was somewhat flustered.
"What cold? You're clearly pregnant. I was wondering why you've been sleeping all day, being lazy, and having no appetite lately. Oh dear..."
The village chief's wife recalled her daughter's behavior these past few days, which clearly indicated she was pregnant.
"Oh no, what should I do? I'm not really pregnant, am I?"
Liu Cuifang looked at her flat stomach.
"Find the guy surnamed Sun and hold him accountable."
The taciturn village chief slammed his chopsticks on the table, unable to swallow his anger.
"Then...then I'll go find him now..."
Liu Cuifang also felt that she couldn't wait any longer. She was already pregnant, and if she didn't get married soon, how could she face others?
"We'll go with you."
The village chief and his wife also decided to go together to see which bastard it was.
He tricked his daughter into getting pregnant, but still didn't come to propose marriage.
The village chief borrowed an oxcart and went to the clinic where Sun Wei worked to find him.
"Sun Wei is off today, he's not here."
The medicine boy replied politely.
"If it's not here, what should we do?"
The village chief's wife frowned.
“I know where he lives.”
Guided by Liu Cuifang, the village chief drove the oxcart towards the Sun family's house.
"Hey, isn't this the alley where your cousin lives?"
The village chief's wife recognized her.
"They both lived in the same alley."
Liu Cuifang explained.
“Then let’s invite your cousin too. She’s the one who introduced this person, and now that things have gone wrong, she’s also responsible.”
The village chief hit the nail on the head, telling the two of them to knock on the door and call Sister Juan out.
