You didn't do anything bad, why are you feeling so guilty? Shen Rong thought.

"Was yesterday's wine delicious?" Shen Rong heard the noise outside and knew that her sister-in-law and the others had gotten up to cook the braised meat. She immediately got up and asked while getting dressed.

Changsheng shrank his neck, his guilty look becoming more and more obvious, but he still shook his head, "It doesn't taste good at all."

“Don’t drink anymore. If you get drunk and fall asleep, you might get sold out by someone else and you won’t even know it.

Don't disbelieve it. You are tall and strong. Once they pull you to the mine, there will be plenty of hard work for you to do.

You were made to dig in the mines every day, and you were not given enough food. If you didn’t finish the work, you were whipped…”

Shen Rong was putting on her clothes while threatening Changsheng.

Changsheng's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he shook his head like a rattle, "No, I won't drink it anymore."

Seeing that Changsheng was frightened and worried, Shen Rong said, "Don't be afraid, we can drink a little at home with our family, and our family won't sell you out.

But you can’t be tricked into drinking when you’re out there, okay? If you get drunk and get sold, your grandparents won’t even have anywhere to cry to! ”

"Remember..." Changsheng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Rong put on her clothes, tied her hair into a bun, and inserted the silver hairpin that Changsheng bought into the bun. Only then was she ready.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll go out and take a look." Shen Rong left this message before leaving.

Although she had said she didn't care about the things in the shop before, everyone was here now. She couldn't let her sister-in-law and the others busy in the front while she and Changsheng slept in the back yard. This was too inappropriate.

Shen Rong came to the kitchen. The meat was already in the pot. The two sisters-in-law had already added the ingredients. Now all she had to do was watch the fire.

"Sanniang, why are you here? There is nothing for you to do here. Go back and have some sleep. I am almost done here. You just need to watch the fire. Leave this matter to your eldest brother."

The second son of the Shen family will have to take the car back to the town to buy pork later, so the job of watching the fire today will fall to Shen Chunsheng.

When the eldest sister-in-law saw Shen Rong coming at this time, she opened her mouth and wanted to send her back to sleep.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to help. Just tell me if you need anything." Shen Rong walked to the stove.

Ma Xiuxiu added a handful of salt to the pot and then covered it. "Okay, let's cook it over high heat."

Li Fenglian stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove and said, "Dad, don't sleep anymore, come and watch the fire!"

After a while, Shen Chunsheng rubbed his eyes and walked into the kitchen, then squatted down in front of the stove as if he was familiar with the place.

Shen Rong got up very early, but was unable to help at all and was finally dragged out of the kitchen by her two sisters-in-law.

At the beginning of the morning hour, the door of the shop in front opened, and the second son of the Shen family took a hundred steamed buns from the steamed bun shop that they had agreed on yesterday and put them on the table. These were prepared for those who came in for breakfast.

The first pot of braised meat was moved to the stove at the gate and continued to cook. Soon the whole street was filled with the spicy aroma of the braised meat.

Ma Xiuxiu was very efficient in doing business. She stood in front of the stall at the door and shouted at the outside:

"Today, our shop has cheap big steamed buns for sale. Customers who eat braised pork in the shop can buy a special steamed bun. You can buy three big steamed buns for only two cents. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

It costs one penny to buy steamed buns in a bun shop. Shen's shop does not make any profit from selling steamed buns at this price. It means that the price is the same as the purchase price and the selling price is the same.

However, this way, we can sell more braised meat, so it’s still a profit.

After Ma Xiuxiu shouted like that, someone really came to ask the price.

"Madam, is this true? Three steamed buns for two cents?"

"Yes, you heard it right, it's two cents for three. But, when you come in to eat, you can't just eat steamed buns, right?

Our family provides braised meat, and we also have small portion sets for one or two people. You can choose three pieces of braised meat from different parts, and you can put together one, two, three or more pieces...

One ounce of braised pork costs only five cents, plus two cents for three steamed buns, which is more cost-effective than eating meat dumplings, and you can take the leftover steamed buns home..."

As Ma Xiuxiu spoke, she picked up a piece of meat, cut a palm-sized piece of braised meat with a knife, weighed it in front of everyone, and then cut the meat into thin slices in a few strokes.

The best pork belly, cut into thin slices and placed on the plate, looks quite a lot and the aroma whets one's appetite.

Ma Xiuxiu placed the plate on the table. "Look, there are so many in one tael. Pour some marinade on it. Just dip the steamed buns in the marinade and eat it. It tastes really good."

Ma Xiuxiu took a round spoon and scooped up half a spoonful of the marinade on the pork belly. Immediately, the sound of people swallowing saliva was heard around.

"Give me two taels of pork belly and two cents of steamed buns!" The customer closest to the shop was the first to be unable to withstand the overbearing aroma of the braised pork. He rushed into the shop first and found a table to sit down.

Li Fenglian hurriedly greeted the guests, served tea, steamed buns and meat.

After the first customer came in to eat steamed buns, soon there was a second, a third, a fourth...

In less than an hour, all the steamed buns brought in the morning were sold out.

The eldest sister-in-law was a little anxious. Seeing that it was still early and she could still sell some steamed buns, she asked Shen Chunsheng to get some more steamed buns to sell.

Shen Rong stopped her elder brother.

"Sister-in-law, we sold so much braised meat today, that's enough. We can just get some more steamed buns tomorrow. We won't take any today."

Shen Rong turned around and shouted to her second sister-in-law in front of her, "Second sister-in-law, the steamed buns are sold out. Please tell the customers who want to buy steamed buns later that we only have about a hundred steamed buns a day. Once they are sold out, there will be no more. Come early to eat steamed buns tomorrow."

After Ma Xiuxiu agreed, Shen Rong explained to her sister-in-law and brother, "Brother, sister-in-law, everyone knows that our steamed buns are cheaper than those sold elsewhere, and we don't make any money from selling steamed buns.

We also have to let others know that this kind of advantage is not always available.

If you encounter such a thing today, would you rush to take advantage of it? Would you buy more steamed buns? "

Li Fenglian nodded repeatedly. If it were her, she would definitely rush to buy a pound of braised pork and two cents worth of steamed buns.

Bring the braised meat back home and stir-fry it with some green onions to make a plate of meat. Add three big steamed buns, a handful of rice, and cook a pot of porridge, and a family of three can have enough to eat.

Li Fenglian had been working in the county town for a while, and she knew the prices of goods there. It was a great bargain to have a meal with meat and vegetables for less than ten cents.

Shen Rong continued, "Let everyone know that the steamed buns will sell out quickly. Then everyone will rush to buy them. You rush, and I rush too.

Just like the people in our village, if something happens in someone’s family, everyone will get together to have fun.

The more people there are watching the fun, the more people will follow to join in the fun.

It’s the same with our shop. We want everyone to come here and as more and more people come, the business will get better and better.”

After listening to this, the two brothers Shen Chunsheng nodded repeatedly, and they both felt that what their sister said was very good and made a lot of sense.
