In the next few days, as Chen Nianguan said, the number of diners gradually increased.

In addition to the previous noodle stall asking them to wrap twenty fish curds every day, Grandma Zhang also said that she would ask them for ten whenever the stall opened. In this way, it was equivalent to having two stable sources of customers.

Chen Nianguan kept track of his income these days, and he didn't lose one hundred Wen a day.

This morning, Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi got up early to make fish curd as they did in the past few days. When they were stirring the fish paste, two people broke into the kitchen unexpectedly, which shocked the mother and daughter.

"Look, Aunt Lu, I just said that some people use the kitchen diligently, and the firewood is also consumed. It's just the two of them messing with these things early in the morning."

The people who came were Aunt Hua, and Lu's mother-in-law, who rented the most rooms in the courtyard, was also the oldest elder in the courtyard.

From Aunt Hua's tone, are you dissatisfied with their use of the kitchen?

"Aunt Hua, you can't say that. The kitchen is originally for public use, and everyone in the yard can use it." Liu immediately got up and explained, "We only use the kitchen when no one is using it, and we don't occupy it."For other people’s use time, as for firewood, we just need an extra firewood currency at the end of the month.”

Mrs. Liu's words failed to stop Aunt Hua's mouth, "Sister-in-law Chen can't say that, you get up so early every day to kill and chop fish in the kitchen, and make such a big commotion that the people in our house can't sleep.Awareness or not?"

"Why are you so noisy? At this time, there are many neighbors who are working, and their voices washing and talking by the mouth of the well outside are louder than our voices chopping fish, and they are closer to the west wing of your house, Aunt Hua. Why?I don't see how you dislike them so much that you can't sleep?"

Chen Nianguan, who was preparing deep-fried fish curd on the stove, couldn't help interjecting to refute.

"You, Miss Chen Si, what a sharp-mouthed girl." Aunt Hua looked at Granny Lu angrily: "Grandma Lu, tell me a fair word, are they doing the right thing?"

"wrong."

Granny Lu can't understand Liu Shi.

Granny Lu felt that she was a blessed person. Not only did she give birth to two sons for the Lu family, she also had a daughter. Among them, the daughter got married, and the eldest son also got married and started a business. She gave birth to the eldest grandson early.

She was just waiting to tell her second son about a marriage.

But Mrs. Liu is not in the same way as her. In Granny Lu's eyes, Mrs. Liu is a person with poor fortune.

Because the Liu family did not give birth to an heir for her husband's family, it was a crime.

When she lost her support and was kicked out by the Chen family, and had to rent here, Granny Lu firmly said that it was all the fault of the Liu family, that she deserved what she got into this situation.

These days, Chen Nianguan's mother and daughter made some kind of fish curd, and even sent a copy to Lu's house. Granny Lu never liked Liu's family, so naturally she wouldn't eat it, but the son and daughter-in-law at home said it was delicious, and Granny LuI feel uncomfortable.

In her opinion, the three members of the Chen family are not good people, and the things they make are not good.

She won't touch it.

When Aunt Hua said that Chen's mother and daughter occupied the kitchen these days and continued to make fish curd which was an eyesore, and it was still sold outside, Granny Lu became more and more depressed.

No, as soon as Aunt Hua provoked her, Granny Lu followed her to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu was an ambiguous person, and Miss Chen Si did not give in.

"Daughter-in-law Chen San, we live in the same yard, so we want to be friendly. If what you do makes people unhappy, you have to reflect on what you did wrong." Granny Lu said, "This house is shared by the public.That's right, but according to your usage, this room is almost used by your Chen family? Don't the kitchen utensils in this room are used the most and wear the most?"

Liu was silent.

Chen Nianguan was holding his breath, frying fish rot in silence.

"Besides, none of the people who rent here have ever thought of using this public kitchen for private business. Think about it, Mrs. Chen San, is this the truth?" Granny Lu said earnestly, "At first we didn'tI heard that the rented tenants are allowed to use the common kitchen to make snacks and dishes to make a living, right?"

"But..." Chen Nianguan wanted to question, but Liu Shi stopped him with a look.

Today is the first day of Yueman Building's opening, and they promised to send 50 fish curds there. No matter what, they must first ensure that there are fish curds available for sale today.

Liu asked with an apologetic smile, "Grandma Lu, what do you think we should do reasonably?"

"Of course we can no longer use the kitchen to make the things you sell." Aunt Hua said confidently, and Granny Lu also nodded, adding: "If you want to continue doing it, you can move to another place."

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, "We understand. After today, we will no longer occupy the kitchen to make fish curd. Is Granny Lu satisfied?"

"Of course I am satisfied if I know my mistakes and can correct them."

Seeing Chen Nianguan's face puffed up with anger, Aunt Hua was proud of herself, carefully supported Granny Lu, and walked away proudly like a victorious rooster.

Aunt Hua just can't stand the business of Chen Nianguan's mother and daughter.

Aunt Hua's son is the porter's steward. That day, when he saw Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi set up a stall at the dock, and saw so many peddlers buying their fish curd, he came back to talk to Aunt Hua.

Only then did Aunt Hua know that the fish curds given to them by Mrs. Liu cost a penny each.

Mrs. Liu generously gave bowls to all the five householders in the courtyard. A bowl of four equals Si Wen, and five Si Wen equals twenty Wen.

The Liu family is so generous that they are willing to give away twenty coins, so how much money can they make in a day?

Aunt Hua sneaked into the kitchen on purpose, and roughly counted five pots they fried, and when each pot was about thirty, her eyes were so red that she was about to spit fire.

There are 100 coins after wiping out the change, and 100 coins if you sell them.

One hundred words a day.

Even half of the cost also has a benefit of fifty coins.

Her son worked as a small porter's steward, and he only spent twenty-five yuan a day.

How dare they earn so much money so easily under her nose?

no.

After knowing this, the jealous Aunt Hua couldn't sleep all night, so she went to find Granny Lu the next day and urged Chen's mother and daughter not to do this job again.

The successful Aunt Hua laughed in her heart: See how you can sell fish curds to earn money?

After returning to the room, Aunt Hua triumphantly claimed the credit and told Li Yulan what she had done. Li Yulan was stunned for a long time and became anxious, "How could you do that, Auntie?"

"Why can't I do this?" Aunt Hua sneered contemptuously, "I just can't understand Mrs. Chen San and Miss Chen Si, and I want to get along with them. Why? Are you not convinced?"

"You..." Are you stupid?

Li Yulan was so angry that she tore up the purse embroidered in her hand. If she hadn't worried that this was her mother-in-law, Li Yulan would have scolded aloud.

"Aniang, you shouldn't have done this." Li Yulan suppressed her anger and said, "Think about it, since Mrs. Chen's business is so profitable, why don't we let Mrs. Chen teach us? Wait for usIf we learn it and do this kind of business for a living, wouldn’t we be able to earn a hundred Wen a day?”

Aunt Hua blinked, took a while to react, and stammered: "Yes, yes!"

"Auntie!" Li Yulan gave Aunt Hua a hard look, completely speechless at her mother-in-law's stupidity.

"Then, now, what should I do?" Aunt Hua immediately thought of the fact that her family could earn a hundred yuan a day, and then thought that she had wasted such a great opportunity, and regretted so much, "Yulan, what do you say?", we, what do we have to do so that Mrs. Chen San can teach us how to fry fish curd?"

Hearing that selling fish rot has benefited so much, Li Yulan looked at the torn purse.

She is good at embroidery, and a purse can be sold for eight coins in the shop.

It used to be an enviable craft in this courtyard.

Who doesn't say that Li Yulan is a good wife who can make money?

But looking at it now, it’s just a mere eight Wen. To earn a hundred Wen, she still has to embroider a dozen.Come on, take it or not.

And Chen Sansao's family sells fish curd, making a steady income of 50 Wen a day, and 1 tael and a half of silver a month.

If she knew how to make fish curd, what kind of purse would she embroider?

Li Yulan couldn't sit still: "Of course, Auntie, go and make amends to others, talk well, and ask them about this after the relationship has eased!"

"Me? Want me to make amends?"

"It's not impossible for me to go to your daughter-in-law, but you are the one who offends others. I'm afraid Chen Sansao and Chen Si will feel that we are not sincere."

After all, she is also an envied daughter-in-law, how can she put down her dignity to make amends?

Li Yulan was annoyed that Aunt Hua had messed up something that should have been easy, but she didn't dare to explode, so she patiently offered a move, "Mother, go buy some melons and fruits to eat, and send them to Mrs. Chen's room tonight?"

Want her to spend money to buy melons and fruits to eat and give away?

Aunt Hua felt her heart was bleeding.

Thinking of the great opportunity to earn fifty pennies a day in the future, she closed her eyes and nodded.

And Chen Nianguan's mother and daughter had just quarreled with Aunt Hua, and without knowing it, she turned around and came up with the idea of learning how to make fish curd from them. Today, Yueman Building opened, and Chen Nianguan and Liu's separated again. Chen Nianguan took sixSend ten fish rots to Yueman Building, and then go to the pier to find Liu Shi.

Afraid of delaying the time, Chen Nianguan specially hired a donkey cart to take him to Yueman Building.

When saw shopkeeper Yang, everything was ready for Yueman Building, and dancers were invited, and when the auspicious time came, the gongs and greens would be opened for business.

Shi Cunqi was also there, and when he saw Chen Nianguan coming to deliver the fish curds as promised, he smiled and asked the clerk to accept them. When he settled the money, he realized that there were ten more.

"Well, most of them were given by me to congratulate Yueman Building on its opening. Don't be polite to Shi Dong's family." Chen Nianguan said with a smile, and took out a steaming bowl of golden chrysanthemum fish from the bucket wrapped in cotton cloth, "In addition, it is a small gesture of gratitude for me to send a piece of Hexi's chrysanthemum fish to Shi Dong's family, can you give me a plate to decorate?"

Shi Cunqi nodded, and shopkeeper Yang immediately asked his assistant to take out a long porcelain plate according to Chen Nianguan's request.

Chen Nianguan put eight golden chrysanthemums on a plate and arranged them in a curve, with carrot sticks as pistils and white radish slices as petals in between, and then poured homemade chrysanthemum on top of the eight golden chrysanthemumspecial sauce.

"I wish Yueman Building blossoms and prosperity, and customers come like clouds."

Shi Cunqi looked at this golden chrysanthemum fish and laughed, "Our Yueman Building will open in a while, and there will be special offers for welcome guests. Why don't Ms. Chen stay and try our restaurant's specialties?"

Chen Nianwan smiled and thanked Shi Cunqi for his kindness?????, and left Yueman Building with fifty papers.

Walking a certain distance from Yueman Building, Chen Nianguan heard the sound of gongs and drums for the first time, then the second, and the third time.sound.

Seeing more and more diners flocking towards Yueman Building, Chen Nianguan couldn't help being envious.

I hope that one day, I can also open such a magnificent restaurant, and then lie down and eat delicious food and spicy food.

She lowered her head and weighed the fifty cents in the cloth bag.

Tens of thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, and I have to take my time.

Hurry up to achieve your first small goal, move out of the courtyard and rent a small courtyard where your family lives.

In the newly opened Yueman Building, Shi Cunqi has followed Chen Nianguan's suggestion, and given the fish rot as a snack with the sauce she gave to the diners who came in for free. As for the golden chrysanthemum fish, Shi CunqiQi had already tasted one, thought for a while, and said, "I'll take this golden chrysanthemum fish to the private room on the second floor, saying that it's only one special dish today, and there are only seven people in small portions. Whoever wants it will do it."Offer fifty coins a piece to try something new."
