There are several hundred people in the academy, and they are quite satisfied with He Tiantian's restaurant.
The roasted sweet potatoes and tea eggs from that restaurant would naturally taste pretty good too.
To make their business easier, He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe chatted with the students from the academy whenever they saw them serving customers at the shop that day.
Tell them there's a roasted sweet potato set meal outside, it tastes amazing.
Invite a few friends to buy together and enjoy group-buying discounts. When the group purchase reaches a certain number of participants, you can even get your order for free.
He Tiantian was keeping accounts at the counter. She had to listen several times before she could understand He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe's marketing strategy.
She was quite surprised that such a method could come up with in Zhao Xiaohe's head; perhaps he really could make a name for himself in the horse-breeding business in the future.
He Shitou benefited from following him.
For the next few days, Zhao Xiaohe and He Shitou went out early and returned late, busy with their roadside stall.
The stall was very popular with the students of the academy, who always felt that it was more affordable to buy food from He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe.
None of us are wealthy, so we naturally try to save money whenever possible.
Life was busy, and business at the restaurant was booming. Everyone was so busy they barely had time to breathe.
Although I'm tired, the thought of earning money during the Chinese New Year makes me feel really happy.
As the year draws to a close, every household has many expenses.
When visiting relatives and friends, you can't go empty-handed; you always have to bring something. And for your own family, you also need to buy some meat and fish to treat them throughout the year.
I also need to buy some snacks so that the children in the family can have a taste.
So at this time, everyone is thinking about making money.
Moreover, you need to earn more money and have more money in your pocket to have a good New Year.
The Cheng family in the Zhao family thought the same thing, but she wasn't so lucky.
For four or five days in a row, she went into the city every day to look for work. But the ordinary shops were either already full or they didn't think she was suitable.
Cheng wanted to work in a larger shop, after all, she had worked in the famous Wanchunlou.
But no matter how hard they searched, either the people there were dissatisfied with the Cheng family, or the Cheng family thought these shops were too low-paying and too troublesome.
Who knows who the filthy person is? At least she earned a little over a hundred coins a month from her previous job.
Who would do a job for less than 100 coins if they were hiring now?
Cheng was indignant and argued with the shopkeeper, only to be thrown out of the shop.
Cheng got up from the ground and patted the dust off his pants.
He spat at the entrance of someone's shop, saying, "Damn it, you're blind. You won't even hire someone as capable as me."
As Cheng walked and cursed, he tripped over a protruding blue brick on the ground.
Ouch!
He had just gotten up from the ground when he tripped and fell flat on his face again after only a few steps.
In front of everyone, to avoid losing face, Cheng endured the pain in her leg and got up from the ground on her own.
"Ouch, ouch, I've fallen and almost died! Why are the roads in this city still so uneven? That damned magistrate takes the tax revenue but doesn't fix the roads..."
Cheng's insults became increasingly outrageous, but with so many people coming and going, she dared not shout at the officials.
With her back pressed against the wall, Cheng Shi braced herself for a while before recovering after about half an incense stick's time.
It was around afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.
However, because the alley is lined with tall shops on both sides, the sun is blocked by the buildings even when it is out.
Cheng looked around and suddenly noticed a small restaurant that seemed rather unusual.
She couldn't read, but she knew it was a four-character phrase. She had even seen those four characters in Zhao Xiaocao's sandplay exercise.
Cheng straightened her clothes and suddenly realized that she was quite clever, as she could even think of this.
Zhao Xiaocao is doing so well in her studies now; she must have inherited her intelligence from her.
Cheng slowly walked forward; it wasn't lunchtime yet. So from the outside, the shop was empty and there was no one in sight.
Cheng mustered her courage and stepped inside.
She craned her neck to look inside, but there was no one there...
Cheng coughed softly, trying to make her voice sound as steady as possible, "Excuse me, is anyone in the shop?"
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Cheng raised her voice again, "Shopkeeper, is anyone in the shop?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a reply came from the backyard: "Someone's here! Someone's here!"
The sound grew louder as it approached, then abruptly stopped.
When she came out was Tiezi's mother, her hands were still covered in flour. She was in the kitchen kneading dough to steam buns and mantou.
When Tiezi's mother saw Cheng, she froze on the spot. And when Cheng saw Tiezi's mother, she didn't react for a moment either.
Ever since the two parted ways, Cheng hadn't paid any attention to whether Tiezi's mother had returned to the village.
Anyway, they've already fallen out, and they'll never see each other again.
But today, they met again on a narrow road, and Cheng saw that Tiezi's mother was in a much better state than her. Cheng was displeased.
Is God blind? In what way is she inferior to that old woman, Tiezi's mother?
This old woman has found work, but she hasn't!
Tiezi's mother's anger surged, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "Cheng, what are you doing here! You're not welcome here!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng felt so angry she almost laughed.
She retorted, "Oh ho, aren't you just an employee? This restaurant isn't yours to kick me out."
