After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuyi smiled and returned to her stall, scooped out a portion and handed it to the uncle at the breakfast stall.

"It's fate that we can set up a stall together today. I'll give this one to you to try."

"That won't do. We are doing business as usual. How much is your portion? I can't eat it for free."

Uncle Zaodian quickly waved his hands. He was a man of principles.

"This is just one portion. If you want more after you finish it, I'll charge you."

After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he put down the bowl and went back without waiting for the stall owner to react.

Lin Chuyi scooped a portion of braised meat for her and Liu Erzhu respectively.

"Uncle Erzhu, let's eat quickly. If there are too many people later, we won't have time to eat."

"You eat it, I've eaten it at home."

Liu Erzhu refused out loud, but he couldn't help swallowing his saliva because it smelled so good.

Lin Chuyi didn't believe what Liu Erzhu said. When she went to the headman's house before, she saw smoke rising from his chimney, and it was obvious that he was cooking.

After packing up his things, Liu Erzhu followed it and had no time to eat.

Lin Chuyi didn't waste any time talking to him. He took out a steamed bun and stuffed the rest into Liu Erzhu's arms.

"Uncle Erzhu, eat it. I can't let you go hungry while asking you to help me. If you really don't want to eat it, just throw it away. I can't take back what I give away."

It was impossible to throw it away, as that was a white flour bun. Seeing Lin Chuyi's firm attitude, Liu Erzhu obeyed and dipped the bun in the sauce and ate it, taking a bite of bun and a bite of meat. It tasted so delicious.

At this time, more and more people were coming and going in the market, and many of them were attracted by the overbearing smell of braised meat.

As soon as they came over, they saw Liu Erzhu’s food broadcast, and their appetite was immediately aroused. They all came over to ask about the price of the braised meat.

Lin Chuyi had finished her portion by this time and asked Liu Erzhu to continue eating while she went to greet the guests.

Lin Chuyi saw so many people coming all of a sudden, and then looked at the small handful of bowls they brought. She estimated that there were only about ten in total, and she couldn't help but frowned.

There were no disposable bowls and chopsticks in ancient times, and even if they were replaced, they could not be refilled. So why not try a different way of selling them? Lin Chuyi, who had thought of a solution, relaxed his brows and put on a business smile.

"Everyone, please don't push, please listen to me first. A portion of braised meat plus bowl and chopsticks is 15 coins in total, and a portion of braised meat alone is 10 coins. If you want to buy, please line up and follow the queue order."

As soon as Lin Chuyi said this, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down a lot, and soon they started talking again.

"Isn't this too expensive? This is the same price if you eat out in a restaurant." Someone left because he thought the price was too high.

"But it smells really good! And she quoted two prices, right? Well, it's still more cost-effective to use my own bowl. I can save 5 cents at once!"

Some people calculated the cost and chose to go home to get the bowl.

"This, ah, I came all the way here, it's too much trouble to go back and get the bowls. This is really, why don't you prepare bowls and chopsticks when doing business." Someone complained.

"Give me one." There were also people who were not short of money and asked for orders.

"Okay." Lin Chuyi agreed, quickly took a bowl, scooped a spoonful of meat and half a spoonful of marinade into it, took the money, and took out a pair of chopsticks and handed it over.

The owner of the tea stall next to him saw Lin Chuyi doing this, his eyes rolled and he started shouting.

"I'm renting bowls and chopsticks. The rental price for a pair of bowls and chopsticks is one cent, and the rental deposit is two cents. When you return the bowls and chopsticks, you will get one cent back. Come and take a look, take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuyi looked at the owner of the tea stall, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This boss has a good business sense.

She only has a dozen sets of bowls and chopsticks. She charges this price mainly to encourage customers to bring their own bowls. This is more hygienic and they don't have to go back and forth to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, which saves a lot of trouble.

If someone chooses to buy the braised pork for 15 cents, it is equivalent to buying the bowl and chopsticks together, so he can also make a profit.

But the owner of the tea stall saw a business opportunity in this, as the thing he had the most in need of when running a tea stall was bowls.

The cost of a coarse pottery bowl is only one cent. If people return it after use, he can recycle the bowls and chopsticks, which is pure profit. If people don't return it, he earns a penny for free. No matter how you calculate it, he's not at a loss.

The tea stall owner also noticed Lin Chuyi's gaze and smiled back.

When the people who were waiting heard the tea stall owner's call, they thought about it and realized that it was more cost-effective to rent bowls and chopsticks. It was equivalent to that the braised meat that originally cost 15 cents per portion now only cost 11 cents.

Suddenly, everyone felt that they had gotten a great deal, and they all rushed to the tea stall to borrow bowls.

Lin Chuyi was waiting quietly there, and Liu Erzhu had already finished his breakfast. He stood beside Lin Chuyi with a bright look on his face, ready to help her.

After Lin Chuyi told Liu Erzhu the amount of braised meat, she handed him the spoon for scooping the meat, while she was responsible for collecting the money.

The crowd soon came back, lined up according to Lin Chuyi's instructions, and made their purchases in order.

Soon this strange team attracted the attention of other people. When they smelled the aroma of the braised meat and saw the people who bought the braised meat eating with their heads down, they all became itchy and wanted to try how delicious the braised meat was.

As a result, the waiting line became longer and longer, and it became an ancient internet celebrity stall. Even the constable who came to collect the stall fees was attracted and bought a portion to try.

The braised meat sold very quickly. In just one hour, all three jars of braised meat were sold out. Even the remaining marinade was sold out at the price of one penny per spoonful.

Because people found that this marinade can be used as a dip or taken home to cook, and it costs only one cent per spoonful, which is not expensive compared to the price of a portion of braised meat, so the marinade business is also very good.

The business of the surrounding small vendors also improved a lot because of Lin Chuyi's braised meat stall, and the ones who benefited the most were the tea stall owners and breakfast owners.

Needless to say, the tea stall owner made a profit of several thousand copper coins in the morning, while the breakfast owner did not want to waste the remaining sauce after many people had finished eating the braised meat, so they sold steamed buns to dip the sauce in at his stall, and his business was much more prosperous than usual.

The people who were attracted came to the market originally for shopping, and since they could buy things anywhere, they just bought the vegetables, fruits, freshwater fish and poultry they needed from the surrounding stalls.

In short, this transaction can be said to be a win-win situation, so much so that when Lin Chuyi and his friends were closing their stalls, many stall owners invited them to come again tomorrow.

Lin Chuyi responded with a smile, but she refused in her heart. Doing the food business might be okay once or twice, but if she did it for a long time, she really couldn't stand the hardship.

She prefers counting money to making money.

This time when she returns, she should start her own development plan.
