"Father, mother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, you are here."
Lu Changgeng didn't say anything. Wang glanced at Jiang Ning, snorted coldly, and turned away from her.
Lu Yaozong winked at Li. Li Shi saw it and asked Jiang Ning.
"Ms. Jiang, if you hadn't come out here, I wouldn't have known how capable you are, opening such a popular shop."
"It's just a small business. You see, I only have half of it, just trying to make small profits but quick turnover." Jiang Ning responded with a smile.
Without Lu Changgeng's stop, Wang choked directly.
"Why is the profit so small? Five pennies for a cake is still called a small profit. Sure enough, the profiteers in the world are all on the same side, and your small shop has become so bad. It is not unreasonable for scholars, farmers, and merchants to be the lowest class."
Wang had fought with many old ladies in the village. Such words were blurted out directly without going through the brain, which was the most annoying thing.
Jiang Ning didn't feel anything about these words. If Wang wanted to make her feel uncomfortable, that would be wrong.
"It seems that my mother-in-law has inquired about my shop. This five-cent cake contains chicken and fried eggs on top. It is not expensive when you calculate the price. If it is really expensive, no one in the county is stupid. , where can I buy it?”
Wang was stuck. She usually dealt directly in the village. When talking to Jiang, she was still a little unable to resist.
Lu Changgeng coughed and explained to Jiang Ning.
"I took them to the county town to buy things. I saw a long queue in front of your shop. I waited until there were fewer people to buy something and try it. Only then did I realize that this is your shop and this street is where your business is the most popular. OK."
"I just make hard money. It's not as good as other stores."
Lu Changgeng stood up and looked at the shop.
"This half of your shop is a bit shabby. Even if you are just making breakfast, you have to take it seriously. Can I go and see the back?"
Lu Changgeng looks like an old man who sincerely supports and cares for his younger generations, and this request is not too much.
"There's a kitchen in the back. Father-in-law, just come with me."
Wang and Li also wanted to follow, but Lu Yaozong asked them to sit down.
"You guys sit down, I can watch it alone. The place is small, so don't crowd in so many people."
Lu Changgeng went in and looked around, and saw that there were some food on display in the kitchen.
"What is this white one with a bit of green, red and yellow in it?"
Jiang Ning found a basin and filled some rice balls.
"Dad, this is the food we sell. It's called rice balls. It's made of rice. I'll bring it out for you to try."
Jiang Ning followed Lu Changgeng, holding a basin in his hand.
"This is a rice ball. How about you try it?"
Mrs. Wang picked up one and looked at it. It was clear at a glance what the rice ball was made of.
"This isn't very good. People in the county have never had good food. What's so delicious about this?"
She said it was not delicious, so Wang ate two rice balls in four mouthfuls.
"Ms. Jiang, why don't you let us try that five cent cake you sell?"
Mrs. Wang was already obsessed with that cake, so she asked for it regardless of her face.
"Mother, the meat pies are all sold out. If you want to eat some, I'll send some over another day."
In fact, the meat pies were not sold out, so they thought they would come to the kitchen to see them. Jiang Ning and her three sons hid the meat pies and meat in the basket, leaving only the rice balls in the kitchen.
This rice ball was originally leftover from yesterday. Jiang Ning planned to take it back and heat it for himself, but Lu Changgeng saw it. Let them deal with the cold and hard rice ball.
Lu Changgeng didn't understand even as he ate, that's it?
People in the county town actually like to eat this kind of food. Why?
Lu Changgeng chewed a rice ball and asked casually: "Ms. Jiang, how much does it cost to rent your shop?"
"This is half a shop, a month or two."
Wang thinks a shop that costs one tael and one month, even half a room, is very suitable. Normally, a shop costs three taels and one month, and even a shop in a better location can cost eight taels.
"One tael of silver per month, Madam Jiang, where did you get the money?" Madam Wang asked in surprise.
Jiang Ning had long expected that the other party would ask this question, and had already thought of an excuse.
Wang didn't wait for Jiang Ning to answer and directly decided on the ownership of the money.
"How can you have money? You don't even have a dowry when you get married. This must be the money I, Lu Si, paid for my life."
After saying that, he half-lyed on the table and started crying.
Mrs. Li patted her mother-in-law on the back to cheer her up.
"Mom, please be more open-minded, your body and bones are important, Mom."
Wang's back was turned to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning couldn't see her expression, but her voice sounded like she was extremely sad.
"I can't think about it, I can't think about it. When I see this shop, it's like seeing my son Lu Si, my poor son."
Lu Yaozong stood up and walked to Wang's side, holding her arm.
"Mom, don't be such a girl. When you say that, I miss my brother too."
After saying that, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded. This good guy should be awarded a gold medal by his entire family.
Lu Changgeng also wiped his eyes and explained to Jiang Ning with red eyes.
"Don't worry too much. This is your mother's emotion. She dreamed that Lu Si was not doing well a few days ago and kept talking about Lu Si. Let's do this. Let your mother-in-law stay here. Mrs. Li, you can stay too. Come on, look after your mother-in-law and help Mrs. Jiang along the way."
