After the diner ate it, he asked the proprietress what it was. The proprietress just pointed to their stall.

Xie Jiaojiao never thought that she could attract business like this.

Two jars of bean curd were not sold out today. After all, few people are willing to spend two cents to buy such a small piece?

Sun Ruhua looked at the half of fermented bean curd left in each jar and became worried.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the street, Xie Jiaojiao said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, you and Zhiyi stay here while I go to the town to take a look."

Xie Jiaojiao carried half a jar of fermented bean curd on her back and was about to get up.

Sun Ruhua asked: "Where are you going?"

Xie Jiaojiao just smiled: "I'm going to find a buyer to buy our bean curd."

With that said, he put the fermented bean curd on his back and set off.

Xie Jiaojiao found several smaller restaurants in the town, but before she could open her mouth, she was kicked out.

I was also a little discouraged. Could it be that the price was too high? I didn’t set the price high, these miscellaneous condiments also cost money.

It was almost noon when I saw it. If she hadn't sold it, her mother would probably feel sorry for the money she spent on it.

Looking at the most impressive restaurant in town, Xie Jiaojiao bit her lower lip and finally walked in.

She was wearing new clothes today that she bought last time, and they didn't look that shabby, so the waiter thought she was here for dinner!

"Your Majesty, please come this way!"

Xie Jiaojiao had an embarrassed smile on her face: "Brother, I'm not here to eat. I wonder if your shopkeeper is here? I want to discuss business with him."

The waiter looked up at her backpack, and Xie Jiaojiao was afraid that she would show some disdain.

But the waiter pointed his hand to one side: "Then wait here for a moment, and I'll call our shopkeeper."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you, little brother."

The waiter smiled slightly: "It's okay, they are all here to make a living." After saying that, he went to the kitchen.

Xie Jiaojiao's favorable impression of the waiter immediately increased.

After a while, the waiter led someone over. The person was obviously dressed much better than ordinary people.

"She is the shopkeeper."

The visitor clasped his fists at Xie Jiaojiao: "I wonder if the girl has any business she wants to discuss with Chen?"

Xie Jiaojiao didn't know about etiquette, so she just bowed to Shopkeeper Chen: "Hello, Shopkeeper Chen, I have some snacks here. I want to see if you are interested."

"oh?"

Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xie Jiaojiao's jar and said, "If the girl sells pickled vegetables, we don't need them in our store."

Xie Jiaojiao waved her hands hurriedly: "This is not pickled cabbage. Can I borrow shopkeeper Chen's chopsticks and bowl?"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately went to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Xie Jiaojiao opened the jar, and a faint fragrance came out.

Put out a piece of fermented bean curd.

Shopkeeper Chen looked a little confused: "What is this?"

"Tofu made from tofu! Shopkeeper Chen, try it, but don't taste too much, it will be a little salty."

The shopkeeper was very interested in some fresh food that he had never seen before. He took the chopsticks and tasted it. The first bite was not enough, so he took a second one: "How come this thing melts in your mouth? Why does it melt in your mouth?" With a scent!"

He is someone who knows how to eat.

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Shopkeeper, if this is used for cooking, you can eat a bowl of rice with one piece! And this thing has another use."

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xie Jiaojiao, waiting for her next step.

Xie Jiaojiao took a sniff and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, did you cook mutton in the store today?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded, the smell of mutton was already strong!

"Shopkeeper Chen can add the leftover bean curd to the seasoning for mutton. The mutton will taste even more delicious!"

"Is there any use for this?"

"Why don't you give it a try, Shopkeeper Chen?"

"Then give it a try!" Shopkeeper Chen said excitedly.

Xie Jiaojiao was waiting outside while shopkeeper Chen went into the back kitchen with the remaining bean curd.

After waiting for a long time, the restaurant was full of customers before shopkeeper Chen came back.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him immediately, waiting for him to give the result.

"Girl, how do I call you?" Shopkeeper Chen asked expressionlessly.

"My name is Xie Jiaojiao." She felt a little uneasy.

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly smiled: "The way Miss Xie mentioned it is really delicious. I wonder how Miss Xie sells this?"

After hearing what he said, Xie Jiaojiao felt relieved, exhaled, and hurriedly replied: "How much do you want, Shopkeeper Chen?"

"How many are there in this altar?"

"About a hundred yuan."

"Then I want it all, but I think the girl is dissatisfied?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "I have another half jar, and my mother is still selling it on the street!"

"That's okay!"

"Does Shopkeeper Chen want a jar?"

Shopkeeper Chen touched the beard on his chin and nodded: "Our store sells mutton soup every day, and there are also mutton soup diners every day!"

"What I sell outside is one yuan or two cents. If the shopkeeper wants it, I can give it to shopkeeper Chen cheaply!"

"Do you think this is okay? Is one jar worth fifty cents okay?"

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and nodded. The price is right. He can collect more from customers by then!

"Then it's settled!"

Xie Jiaojiao was happy and said: "And shopkeeper Chen, the jar I brought is not spicy, and the other jar is spicy. Do you want both?"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled: "Isn't that good?"

Xie Jiaojiao raised her fist towards Shopkeeper Chen: "Businesskeeper Chen's business is booming! Then I will go and carry the rest for you now."

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand and called to the waiter who had just introduced Xie Jiaojiao: "Laifu, you go with Miss Xie."

The waiter immediately followed.

Sun Ruhua saw Xie Jiaojiao coming back and hurriedly stepped forward and saw that the jar on her back was gone.

Xie Jiaojiao introduced: "Mom, this is the guy from Qingfenglou. We sold all our fermented bean curd to them!"

The waiter raised his hand towards Sun Ruhua.

"Mom, what are you doing standing here? Take it all, no need to sell it!"

Only then did Sun Ruhua react and hurriedly helped put away the jars.

"Mom, wait for me here. I'll be back after I finish delivering."

Sun Ruhua nodded blindly.

Xie Jiaojiao followed the waiter back. Shopkeeper Chen tasted the spicy fermented bean curd again and nodded: "It's really delicious!"

After saying that, he immediately paid for Xie Jiaojiao and prepared two jars of the same size for her, but the quality of his jars was obviously better than the ones Xie Jiaojiao brought.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Chen."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said: "If diners like this, I will order it from you."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, but you have to order it in advance. It takes time to make it!"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded.

Xie Jiaojiao carried the two empty jars in her backpack, carefully put the money in her arms, and went back to find Sun Ruhua.

When she left the restaurant, Jiang Weinan and her two friends came downstairs.

Jiang Weinan said: "Come to my house to eat mutton in the evening."

The other two nodded: "OK!"

Shopkeeper Chen faced Jiang Weinan and shouted respectfully: "Master."

Jiang Weinan set up the folding fan and led the people away.
