"Yinyin, your mother said you're selling potato chips and snacks in the county? How's business?"
While doing her work, Aunt Xu asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the second sister-in-law next to her also looked over with a curious and admiring gaze.
"Yinyin is so capable, she can come up with so many delicious recipes."
Zhiyin didn't hide anything, but smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
"Aunt Xu, Second Sister-in-law, thank you so much for helping my mother."
Looking at this huge pile of bell peppers, and thinking about all the potato chips, sticky rice, and boiled fish orders for tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up.
Zhiyin thought for a moment, then looked at her second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, are you busy this afternoon?"
"We're a bit busy today, could you help us with something? We'll pay you."
The second sister-in-law looked surprised for a moment, then quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need for wages."
"We're all from the same village, it's no big deal to help each other out."
She quickly declined, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "I just need to go back and cook dinner; I can help out at any other time."
"No, no, since my second sister-in-law is helping our family with the work, we definitely have to pay her. Even brothers should keep clear accounts!"
"Besides, I might need your help again in the future."
"How about I pay you 50 coins?"
How could Zhiyin let her second sister-in-law suffer a loss? Besides, she knew that they had a son who was still nursing at home and were already short of money.
"That's too much, ten coins will suffice!"
Seeing that Zhiyin's expression was firm, the second sister-in-law knew she couldn't refuse, and considering that her family was indeed short of money, she had no choice but to accept.
But when they heard how much money it was, their eyes widened, and they shook their heads repeatedly, saying that the money was too much.
After all, a penny can buy a vegetable bun!
Generally speaking, even if you work yourself to the bone in the county town, you can only earn about 600 coins a month!
She was just doing some chores for Zhiyin's family; she's not worth that much money at all!
She didn't want to take advantage of her kindred spirit.
Zhiyin simply smiled and remained silent.
"It's alright, it's only 50 coins. Just take it without worry. If you feel bad about it, just work faster."
Seeing her second sister-in-law frowning, seemingly conflicted and about to refuse, Yao Yulin immediately smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Yinyin, why won't you let me help you?"
Aunt He then pretended to put her hands on her hips, put on a stern face, and look angry.
Zhiyin could easily see through her thoughts, and immediately put her arm around her shoulder with a friendly smile, "Oh dear, I was just thinking that Aunt Xu didn't have time."
"Aren't you supposed to be tutoring Lan Linxi with her homework tonight?"
Don't think she doesn't know; Aunt Xu is an educated woman!
She used to be a teacher at a private school, and she would tutor her son every night.
Where would I find the time?
Moreover, her original intention was to have her second sister-in-law help her earn more money at the same time.
Aunt Xu's family should not be short of money.
"Stop teasing the child, we know your family's situation."
Yao Yulin also gave Aunt Xu a reproachful look, feeling that she was making things worse.
"Hehehe, okay..."
Aunt Xu didn't mind that her words had been exposed so quickly, and she still smiled kindly.
After all the bell pepper stems were cut, Aunt Xu went home to tutor her son.
Zhiyin then instructed her second sister-in-law to help kill and wash the fish.
Yao Yulin also started using a peeler to slice the potatoes she had previously scraped into pieces and began frying them.
Zhihua then helped wash the side dishes needed for tomorrow.
Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, Zhiyin counted the silver and confirmed the amount for tomorrow.
That's when I started making chili powder, chili oil, chili paste, pickled chili, and so on from the huge pile of chilies I bought yesterday...
By the time Zhiyin finished doing everything, Yao Yulin and her second sister-in-law had already bagged the potato chips.
Seeing that Zhiyin had finally finished, her second sister-in-law quickly stepped forward and asked, "Yinyin, do you need to pretend?"
"Pack!"
Zhiyin nodded without hesitation.
"Yinyin, are these potato chips for selling on the street?"
"That's amazing!"
"I never expected it to smell so good!"
As she helped, the second sister-in-law thought of the enchanting fragrance from earlier and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, practically praising her friend to the skies in her heart.
"yes!"
Zhiyin was sitting on a bench rubbing her sore arms when she heard this and nodded without looking up.
Upon hearing this, the second sister-in-law's eyes lit up instantly, as she had initially thought potatoes weren't worth much.
She could perhaps spend money to have a confidant teach her how to do it.
Can…
She glanced at the large amount of oil in the pot, as well as the pile of chili powder and the paper bag of potato chips next to Zhiyin.
I gave up on that idea.
She has no money!
The other materials would likely require a large sum of money, not to mention the cost of the recipe.
I had to temporarily abandon that idea.
After resting for a while, Zhiyin began to estimate the amount of glutinous rice and other ingredients to be soaked based on the quantities.
Time flies like water, passing by in the blink of an eye.
…
In the blink of an eye, Zhiyin arrived in the county again, driving his mule cart.
She placed the pre-ordered meals on the other side beforehand, and then began selling glutinous rice noodles and boiled fish as usual, without her feet touching the ground.
Completely unaware that a middle-aged man with a gloomy face was staring intently at her from not far from her stall.
If Zhiyin saw it, she would immediately recognize that it was her so-called uncle.
Ever since my uncle learned yesterday that Zhiyin was setting up a stall, for some reason, he decided to come and see for himself.
