Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The business finally moved to the county town, and...
Li Cuihua was stunned. "What did you say? They moved to the county town! Don't talk nonsense. The Xiao family doesn't even have a capable man, so where would they get the money?"
Li Cuihua's voice rose considerably. "Moving? Or maybe you're not feeling well again and have gone to the county town to see a doctor? You're such a good liar..."
Aunt Yu snorted and said, "You're the only one who hopes the Xiao family will suffer. So what if they didn't have money before? Qiu Ran's cooking is good, and everyone in the county invites her to cook for them. And if she borrows some money from her parents, why can't she buy a house? Even though Xiao Xun is gone, Qiu Ran is a very lucky person. The Xiao family is a very lucky family. Look, she moved out this morning. Even though some people have many sons, they didn't move to the city either."
Aunt Yu didn't want to say too much, to avoid making Li Cuihua resentful. Now that she had moved away and was far away, even if Li Cuihua wanted to do something bad, she wouldn't be able to do anything. It was good.
I don't know what she's thinking, she just can't stand seeing the Xiao family get better. Could it be that she feels unhappy that Xiao Xun is gone and she didn't see the Xiao family disband?
How could this person be so bad?
Aunt Yu took two steps back, and Li Cuihua didn't see her. Her mind froze. How could it be possible? How could they have moved away? The last time she asked Lin Qiuran, he had said he was not feeling well and was going to the county to see a doctor. It turned out he had lied to her! Li Cuihua thought about the past few days. Xiao Dashi and Sun had been out almost every day, pushing a cart with two large buckets. There must be something good in the buckets.
Their family has been to the county town several times, and several times they took a bullock cart. If they didn't have money, how could they take a bullock cart? They were going there to make money secretly.
This family is really cunning. Li Cuihua was furious. Now that Sun and Lin Qiuran were gone, she had no place to vent her anger. Seeing Aunt Yu still speaking for the Xiao family, she gritted her teeth and said, "So what if they have money? It's not your money. Do you need to boss them around here? They are so good-tempered, even better than the animals in my house, barking here! But the animals guard the house and get bones to eat. You say so much for them, but I don't see you taking them with you when you make money!"
Aunt Yu was so angry at this that she laughed. She said, "What you said is true. Everyone who makes money should eat their fill first. What's wrong with making money for yourself? You have money to buy snacks for your daughter-in-law, but I never see you feed the villagers. You can't even do that, and yet you let others do it. You can't stand others doing well, but you just can't get what you want!"
After saying this, Aunt Yu took a sip.
Li Cuihua was furious, her finger pointing at Aunt Yu and trembling. Aunt Yu didn't bother to argue with her and just turned away. Li Cuihua returned home in a daze. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant and expected to give birth soon. Her belly was pointed, suggesting a boy.
When her daughter-in-law asked her what was wrong, Li Cuihua shook her head.
Li Cuihua thought to herself, it's okay, it's okay, no one knows what's in Lin Qiuran's belly, it must be a girl. Now that Xiao Xun is gone, Sun was hoping for a son. It would be a joke if it was a girl, because the family line would not be passed on, and the Xiao family would be extinct.
Li Cuihua suddenly remembered that Xiao Dashi's family had moved away. Did his relatives know about it? What was wrong with having money? If they had money, they could spend it on relatives instead of on outsiders.
county seat.
Sun gave some of the vegetables she brought from the village to her neighbors. They had just moved in, so she wanted to get to know them. Besides, she and Xiao Dashi would definitely go back to their hometown someday and ask their neighbors to take care of Lin Qiuran.
There is a saying that goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.
The ladies in one family are surnamed Xu and the other is surnamed Chen. At first glance, they seem nice, so I'll give them some gifts first. If they are hard to get along with in the future, I'll just stay away from them. It won't be a big deal.
When she came back, Lin Qiuran had also woken up.
Sun brought some fruits and vegetables and said, "I bought these outside. Come and eat them."
Sun was busy in the morning and only had time to relax in the afternoon. She had to make a living and prepare food and drinks. The county town was more convenient than the village, and it was easy to buy anything, but it was not very cheap.
There's almost nothing to spend in the village, but when I come to the city, I always want to buy a little bit of everything. If I'm not careful, I'll spend my money.
Lin Qiuran nodded. "No rush, let's eat later. Mom, I'm not too tired either. Let's discuss setting up the stall tomorrow."
Xiao Dashi mainly does manual labor, so he has to do whatever he is asked to do, and Sun sells it, so Lin Qiuran just needs to discuss it with Sun.
Earlier, Lin Qiuran asked Sun to tell the customers who often came to buy fish that not only would there be a stall tomorrow, but new dishes would also be served.
Lin Qiuran planned to accumulate more customers so that he could open a shop in the future. Finally moving to the county town would be convenient, so he needed to think carefully about how to run this business.
Sun had been selling vegetables for so many days and had some ideas. She said, "Qiuran, you said that we don't have to push the cart back and forth now, which saves time on the road. There are meat and vegetables for sale on the street early in the morning. Let your father get up early to buy them. After he comes back and cooks them, I will go sell them with your father. It's convenient for us to live in the county town and we can come back anytime."
Sun can't cook, so this is all she can think of for now.
There are many people on the street, so bumps and bruises are inevitable. Lin Qiuran prefers to stay home and cook peacefully.
Lin Qiuran nodded. "Mom is right. We used to sell more than 20 carp and more than 40 crucian carp in a day. We were able to sell them all because I was away for a few days. I definitely need to increase the amount of food, but I think customers will get tired of eating the same thing all the time."
Not only do guests get tired of the food easily, but even though Lin Qiuran likes to cook, she is also tired of always making braised fish and garlic-flavored crucian carp.
Lin Qiuran said, "The dishes have to be different every day. For example, on the first day, we can make braised fish, on the second day, braised pork... After a few days, the dishes can be rotated back. If I'm out for a banquet one day, I won't make that day's dishes and will have to wait until next time."
Keeping customers on the lookout for more will only help boost business. The Xiao family hasn't been to the county town for a few times, and business will improve when they come back.
But even though we keep people's appetites on edge, we still cook dishes based on customer tastes, primarily to make money. We rotate dishes because it's easy to get tired of eating the same thing over and over again. Even if we buy something the day before and want to eat it again the next day, we'll hesitate because we just had it the day before.
There is only so much money, and the people in the county live frugally, so they don't eat out every day.
The dishes are changed every few days. People who like the flavor will wait for it. If it tastes good, they will buy it every now and then, so their business is better.
After listening to Lin Qiuran, Sun smiled and nodded, "That's fine. Sometimes I can skip a few days and then go back to see if business is good. I can still sell out even if I go back in a row. But I don't think there are customers who come every day."
Although not many fish are sold, Sun basically recognizes all the customers who have come before. There are many repeat customers and some new customers as well.
Now that the dishes are ready, the only thing left is the price.
In the past, cooking fish required no capital, and a whole fish could be sold by the kilogram. Even if the family provided oil, seasonings, and firewood, they could still make a lot of money.
But nowadays, when you buy fish, you have to remove the internal organs, and the moisture of other meats will be lost after being stewed for a long time. If you still sell them by kilogram at twice the market price, although you can still make a profit, it will be much less.
If I rented a shop, I could have an excuse to raise the price, but since I'm still operating a stall, I'm sure customers wouldn't be happy if I raised the price abruptly. Aren't people buying fish here because they want it cheap and tasty? If I really raised the price, I'd probably lose half my customers, and word would spread, which would ultimately affect my stall's business.
Lin Qiuran still wanted to save money to open a shop, and she couldn't make less money. There were other ways, such as making more and selling more, pricing low but still making a small profit but selling more. But she was pregnant, and relying on volume to make money wouldn't be sustainable for long.
It’s not enough to just sell meat, how about adding some vegetables?
Lin Qiuran thought that he could use the broth to cook the dish. The taste of meat and coriander would naturally be better. He could price the dish according to the difficulty of processing it. Even if he sold it cheaper than meat, he would naturally make more money over time.
Another thing is that there are many steps in cooking, some require stewing and some require frying, but cooking is simple.
If business is stable, you can find suppliers to keep costs down. Meat dishes attract customers with their taste. Ordinary people who want a change of pace won't buy too much meat, but will probably buy some dishes cooked in the broth.
The fish soup can be used to cook tofu, and the meat soup can be used to stew potatoes and beans. The price is not expensive, so I always buy some.
It seemed that Sun had also thought about the price. She asked, "Qiuran, is the price still the same as before?"
It seems that being the same is not good, and being different is not good either.
Lin Qiuran said, "It's best to keep the price of fish the same as before. If the meat is too expensive, people will probably just buy fish and nothing else. The price shouldn't change. But you can add some vegetables. When you stew fish or meat, you'll keep the soup, so you can stew it in the soup."
Sun and Xiao Dashi washed and cut the vegetables well, so stewing them was easy. They made a small profit but quick turnover. Some families didn't have enough meat to share, so delicious dishes could satisfy their cravings.
Sun didn't know if it would work, so she said, "Why don't we try it tomorrow? If it works, we'll keep doing it this way. If it doesn't, we'll think of another way."
Lin Qiuran nodded. This was the only way.
"Then let's make braised pork tomorrow. Mom, buy 30 kilograms of pork belly, 30 kilograms of potatoes, and 30 kilograms of cowpeas."
In the past, when we cooked fish, one fish would weigh four or five kilograms, and eight fish would weigh thirty or forty kilograms.
This was the first time Lin Qiuran only dared to sell this much. He would first see how the business was going before adding more dishes.
Lin Qiuran first counted out five hundred and ten coins. The price of pork belly depended on the day. Today, Lin Qiuran bought pork belly at ten coins per pound. The hind legs and other items were one coin cheaper. They could be mixed together and sold, but she still wanted them to taste better.
Potatoes are three cents a pound, cowpeas are more expensive, four cents a pound. Tomorrow, pork belly will be sold at 21 pounds. Although it will shrink after stewing, it's still a profit. Beans and cowpeas stewed together will be sold at 7 cents a pound.
Sun asked Lin Qiuran to eat first and rest early, as she would be busy tomorrow. "You have to be careful when cooking. We'll wake you up after we buy the food, wash it, and cut it."
Lin Qiuran nodded. She glanced at Sun and touched her nose again. "Mom, I want to wash up tonight."
Lin Qiuran also packed his things today. He was covered in dust after coming from Xiaojia Village, and there was a lot of smoke from cooking. Today is the first day in his new home, so it would be good for good luck to wash himself clean.
Sun smiled and said, "That's hard to say. I'll go boil some water. It will be ready after dinner."
After dinner, Sun mixed some water for Lin Qiuran and went to boil another pot. After two pots of water, Lin Qiuran finally washed herself clean and dried her hair. Then she went to bed. The next day, Xiao Dashi returned with a pile of things.
Sun and Xiao Dashi first peeled and cut the potatoes into pieces, then picked the beans and cut them in half, and chopped the meat. Finally, she boiled three eggs for Lin Qiuran. Only after everything was done did she call Lin Qiuran to get up.
Lin Qiuran slept very well that night. When she opened her eyes, although the ceiling was a bit old, it was no longer a dark wooden roof. The room was clean and tidy, the windows were open, and the morning sunlight came in, making her feel that there was hope for the future.
As expected, money has to be spent. Even if he picked up a golden Ganoderma lucidum, Lin Qiuran wouldn't look at it every day. But it was different when he moved to a house. He was in a good mood every day at home. He even thought that this one was a little small, and when he had more money, he would buy a bigger one.
Lin Qiuran was happy and didn't lie in bed. After getting up and having breakfast, she started cooking. Braised pork was a common dish for her and was very simple to make, but stew was different.
This isn't just about throwing the vegetables in. The potatoes and cowpeas need to be cooked carefully. If you cook them for too long, the potatoes won't form clumping pieces and will just melt into the soup, making them unprofitable. The cowpeas need to be soft to be tasty, but not too mushy.
Lin Qiuran started cooking at two quarters before the end of the morning hour. Because they were sold separately, she waited until the braised pork was ready before stewing the cowpeas and potatoes. By two quarters before the end of the evening hour, the dish was already ready.
After Sun and Xiao Dashi finished packing the dishes, there were two large buckets today. Lin Qiuran said, "Mom, I'll bring you lunch at noon."
Since it is close to home, you don’t need to buy food there. It saves money on one hand, and you can also eat more comfortably.
Sun said, "Well, don't worry, I'll send it to you after you finish eating."
Lin Qiuran planned to fill in for the two of them while delivering food, just to see how business was going. Based on past experience, the braised pork should be selling well, with a low price tag. It tasted better than the restaurant, and the portion size was larger and the price was cheaper.
Lin Qiuran also tasted it. The taste of today's dish was the same as before, salty and slightly sweet, and the meat was soft and tasty. She was not worried about the meat, but about how the dish would sell.
There were a lot of dishes in large portions, and they were all cooked. Lin Qiuran originally wanted to cook them on the spot. After all, it was simple and Sun could also cook them, but she didn't have a convenient pot, and it was inconvenient to push a cart with charcoal fire.
Now we can only hope that business will improve.
Lin Qiuran returned to her room and rested for an hour before getting up to prepare lunch. It was steamed rice, scrambled cucumber and eggs, and the braised pork she'd saved from the morning. She ate more, leaving less for Sun and Xiao Dashi, but still enough. After finishing her meal, she went to deliver the meal.
At noon, the streets were much less crowded; everyone had gone home. Lin Qiuran went to the spot where the two of them had set up their stalls before. The other stall owners were also eating, some with steamed buns and some with baozi.
Lin Qiuran walked over and handed the basket to Sun, "Dad and Mom, you guys eat first, I'll watch for a while."
Sun said, "No need. Go to the shade of the tree and don't get too hot. There aren't many people here right now, and there aren't many left. You can go back first. Your father and I will wait for a while and go home after we sell everything."
When Lin Qiuran heard Sun say that there was not much left, he couldn't help but take off the lid and looked at the bucket. The braised pork was already empty, and there were still some cowpeas and potatoes left, but not much.
Lin Qiuran looked at Sun in surprise. All this was sold?
Sun smiled at her, and Xiao Dashi also smiled. Both of them had a bit of pride on their faces, and they were happy to see Lin Qiuran so shocked.
Sun said, "It wasn't selling well at first. I remembered what you asked me to do on our first day selling fish."
It was the first time for Lin Qiuran to sell fish. He thought that since it was not a freshly cooked dish, the hot steam would give off a strong aroma. Even if the customers saw it, they would not know how it tasted.
How can I buy it then?
She cooked some dishes in fish broth that tasted like fish and asked Sun to take them along. If guests came, she would let them try them. It didn't matter if they didn't buy, just to try them.
Sun recalled that day, only customers who had tasted the food would buy it. Later, people would see others buying it and come to ask if it tasted good before buying a piece. After a few times, the stall had repeat customers.
The braised pork sold very quickly today, also because of repeat customers. The Xiao family hadn't been here for several days, and they were waiting to buy today. Others also came to buy when they saw many people gathered around the stall.
Although braised pork is indeed more expensive, it is meat and does not even have bones. After eating fish for a long time, you may want to change your taste, so a more expensive price is acceptable.
But few people buy vegetables, but the stew costs seven cents per pound. What kind of vegetable costs seven cents per pound? Nowadays, every household has a small yard, and they have enough vegetables to eat at home, and they take away the leftovers.
I can still bear to spend money on fish and some meat, but I can't bear to spend money on vegetables. It's not that I don't want to spend money, I just feel it's not worth it.
I bought the meat but couldn't cook it myself. I've already spent the money. It's better to spend more money to eat good food and satisfy my appetite. Forget about the dishes. I haven't eaten enough at home, so who wants to go out to eat?
When Sun was serving meat to the guests, she would also ask if they wanted some dishes. Seven or eight out of ten guests would just take a look and say no, and very few would even ask to try it.
The meat was selling fast, but there was still such a big pot of vegetables. Sun felt that it was not good enough and could not be taken back. She thought about it for a while, and then asked Xiao Dashi to break some branches to make skewers and fork some vegetables for the guests to try.
The food was not only served to customers who bought meat, but also to those who came to ask about it. The effect was immediate. Those who bought meat tasted it and thought it tasted good. Those who had money bought one pound of meat and two pounds of vegetables, while those who didn't have money bought half a pound of meat and one pound of vegetables.
Some even came to join in the fun, figuring it was free, so they'd just give it a try and not buy anything afterward. The potatoes were tender and melt-in-your-mouth, the meat was fragrant and flavorful—much better than homemade. After asking about the price, they learned it was cheaper than the meat itself, and since it was cooked in broth, they went home to buy some more to satisfy their hunger.
I can’t afford the meat, but I can afford the dishes cooked in the broth.
Although there are some who try but don't buy, but only try once. Who knows, maybe you won't be willing to give it up now, but you can do business with them in the future. Sun thinks that selling things should not be too stingy. There used to be a stingy person on this street, but he is gone now.
They saved time on the road and arrived early, so the vegetables were almost sold out by noon.
Sun was quite happy. She had originally worried that moving to the county town, meaning living here, would be expensive and her business might not be as good as before. But now it seemed that business was good, and she and Xiao Dashi weren't too tired. It wasn't that far away, and even though it wasn't as busy as before, there were still some returning customers, which was quite easy.
It only took one morning. If they hadn't been concerned about Lin Qiuran's health, they could have sold it in the afternoon.
The two of them quickly finished their meal and asked Lin Qiuran to go back first. Sun also instructed: "I'll wash the dishes when I get back. Don't worry about the pots and pans, just leave them there. I don't think there's much left, I guess I'll be back soon."
Lin Qiuran nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. If you can't sell anymore, just go home."
Sun asked her to go back quickly, "I know, go back quickly, and be careful when you walk!"
Sun watched Lin Qiuran walk away until she was out of sight before she withdrew her gaze. The woman selling buns nearby couldn't help but ask, "Is this your daughter-in-law? What a symbol."
Sun smiled and nodded, "Well, come over and bring me some food."
The old lady also laughed. Everyone on this street knew about the Xiao family's affairs. They heard it when Sun told the guests that her daughter-in-law could cook banquets. Sun had a good temper, and Xiao Dashi was honest. They had a small stall that was quite happy, but it died just after their son got married.
He left behind a wife and a baby in her belly.
It was said that men who died soon after getting married usually aborted their children and remarried. However, the Xiao family didn't have such a situation. Moreover, Mrs. Sun always said that her daughter-in-law was a good cook, so everyone thought that Lin Qiuran was an honest woman with ordinary looks.
But today, she looked slender, with braided hair and a headscarf, looking neat and tidy. Her face was white and fair, the size of a palm, with big eyes, a delicate nose and a small mouth. They didn't know how to praise someone's beauty, but they just looked young, beautiful, generous and decent. She even came to bring me food, how filial she was.
The woman selling buns still has a son who is not married yet. He is a good boy, strong and handsome. It is inappropriate to call her a widow just because her husband died not long after she got married.
I don't mind having an older woman pregnant. Pregnancy means fertility, doesn't it? And she has a good skill, so it would be wonderful to marry her. Having many children brings happiness, even if they aren't my own, as long as the family is full of joy.
Even though Sun and Xiao Dashi were the parents-in-law, and it was their son who died, it would be too presumptuous to directly ask their daughter-in-law whether she would remarry in the future.
If someone asked her this, she would definitely think that they were here to make enemies. But a woman can't delay, now is the perfect age.
The aunt buying the buns could only say vaguely, "Sister, your daughter-in-law is almost as good as your own daughter. She's more caring than a daughter. I'm not saying anything to scare you, but you said your family is doing business now and moved to the county town. There are many people who are jealous. You still need a man at home."
In other words, you are willing to stay, but you can't risk your life on it. Do you have to be a slave to the Xiao family forever?
After hearing this, Sun was stunned, then laughed dryly twice.
At first, she wanted Lin Qiuran to abort the child and remarry as a daughter of the Xiao family. Later, Lin Qiuran said that she should give birth to the child, and no one mentioned this matter again.
She and Xiao Dashi didn't think too much about it. Now that Lin Qiuran was the housekeeper, they did whatever they were told to do. The most they thought about was doing more work while they could so that they could save more money for them.
Sun now really treats Lin Qiuran as her own daughter. Firstly, she is grateful that she is willing to stay and give birth to the child, and secondly, Lin Qiuran also cares about them.
She was always trying to make money, even cooking for guests while pregnant, managing the household well, and buying a house in the county town. Xiao Dashi always said that he had never lived in the county town in his life, and the same was true for Sun.
Friendships are built through interaction, and Sun was grateful to Lin Qiuran.
Since you treat Lin Qiuran as your own daughter, you must really consider her. You can't just say that, but think about tying her to the Xiao family and planning for her life after she gives birth to the child. Lin Qiuran is eighteen years old this year and became a widow not long after getting married.
Sun didn't think that she couldn't live without a man, she just thought that Lin Qiuran couldn't live like this for the rest of her life.
She had been so happy about moving these days that she had forgotten all about these things. She still had to find time to have a good talk with Lin Qiuran about this matter. Should she wait until the child is born before looking for a partner, or look for one before the child is born? Should she marry or take in a son-in-law? She had to think about it carefully.
Lin Qiuran went back after delivering the meal. There was not much left, only one-fifth of the cooked dish. However, Sun and Xiao Dashi did not come back until 2:30 pm and they were still selling outside for more than an hour.
Business was slow in the afternoon, but that was understandable. After lunch, everyone was full, so who would buy food?
It was more relaxing with fewer people, but after all, we were standing outside. Lin Qiuran said, "Mom, from now on, just come back after noon. It's best if we sell all the food, and we can eat the rest at home."
Let’s see how the vegetables are sold in the next two days. Today is the first day. If they can’t be sold out, just make less. At worst, sell them separately. You can cook some vegetables in the afternoon and sell them again.
You can earn more this way than just waiting.
Sun thought this was fine. "Well! Qiuran, quickly count how much money you made today!"
In the past, the money was small, and Sun kept it in mind, but today there were many customers, so she didn't have time to count.
The money from the braised pork and vegetables was mixed together. This morning, Lin Qiuran paid 510 wen for the purchase, and ended up spending 480. Buying more often meant bargaining for a discount. Besides the meat and vegetables, the household oil wasn't included, as some lard was used to fry the pork belly.
Not many spices and seasonings were used, but a lot of firewood was consumed. After arriving in the county town, buying firewood is also an expense.
Sun and Xiao Dashi were used to being frugal, and even firewood cost money. At first, Xiao Dashi said he'd go back to the village to chop wood. There were trees and forests in the village, so he could go up the mountain to chop wood and then bring it over. But Lin Qiuran thought it was too much trouble. Firewood cost money, sure, but ten pounds of it only cost two cents. He might as well just buy some cheap vegetables from the village, which would save him money compared to hauling firewood.
If I can't find someone selling vegetables cheaply in the future, I can actually go to the village to buy them. It's autumn now, and everyone has so much vegetables that they can't finish eating them.
Not counting the labor cost, the seasonings, firewood, meat and vegetables are today's cost.
Lin Qiuran counted the money carefully, all of them were copper coins, from one to one hundred, two hundred, three hundred... nine hundred... that was more than nine hundred.
After counting, the total amount was 936 copper coins. Excluding the original cost of 480 coins and the 20 coins for seasonings, the profit was 436 coins.
Lin Qiuran felt like he'd made a lot of money today, but thinking about it, it was normal. After all, just buying thirty kilograms of pork belly would cost him three hundred coins, and selling it all would break even. And selling vegetables, at seven coins per kilogram for sixty kilograms, he'd still make a profit.
When Sun and Xiao Dashi saw how much money they had, they were overjoyed. Xiao Dashi even said, "Mother, Qiuran, that means we've earned nearly one or two taels of silver in one day! That's too much!"
The most money I made in the past was from selling carp. I sold more than 20 carps and earned nearly 800 coins a day.
Sun laughed happily twice, and then she said quickly: "What? We still have money. Have you forgotten that we have to buy meat and vegetables?"
Xiao Dashi scratched his head. "Hey, I really forgot about it. I thought it was all profit."
Sun: "Look at your brain. You just bought it this morning and forgot about it this afternoon."
Lin Qiuran smiled and said, "Mom, that's not a small amount. It's almost as much as what I earned from the banquet."
Relatively speaking, it's easier to cook at home. Sometimes, you can cook for several tables, and that's how much it costs. Lin Qiuran gave the remaining thirty-six coins to Sun. Sun couldn't go out to buy things without money.
Knowing they had made money, Sun and Xiao Dashi were full of energy. If they could make money, they would continue to sell tomorrow. Sun asked, "Qiuran, you said you wanted to change the dishes. What should we sell tomorrow?"
Lin Qiuran said, "Let's make peppers stuffed with meat tomorrow. For the vegetables, buy tofu and peppers. Thirty pounds of meat, just the hind leg will do, forty pounds of peppers, and thirty pounds of tofu. Oh, by the way, I have to go to the Zhao family tomorrow, so I'll go in the afternoon. Don't worry about me when I'm not home."
Sun asked, "Which Zhao family?"
Lin Qiuran said, "It's the one who's hosting the full moon banquet. He's paid the deposit, and I went to his house to order the menu."
It's been a few days now, so the sooner you decide, the better off you will be.
