Wang's little lady

Chapter 40 Prelude to Trouble
She was not afraid that Mrs. Xie would go to other places to buy it. Not to mention, she was the only one selling pork nearby.

Another pork shop in town was not open at all today.

The two families would go to collect pigs nearby, so how could they not know something about each other.

Not only will it be closed today, I'm afraid business will be delayed for several days.

"Auntie, my family is the only one selling pork in town today. If you don't want it, I will sell it to others."

Mrs. Zheng seemed to be asking politely, but in fact she didn't want to take advantage of Granny Xie.

Isn't this obvious? I only have it at home. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to buy it.

What can Granny Xie do?

No matter how angry she was, she still had to take the things back, otherwise the customers who agreed to buy braised food yesterday would not be able to buy them today, and they would think her family was dishonest.

It has a bad impact on the family business.

Mrs. Xie left 72 coins and returned home with a bunch of things and a lot of anger.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

Hongdou saw something was wrong when her grandma came back from a trip, so she couldn't help but ask.

Seeing this, other people came forward to show concern.

"No, the price of this pork seller suddenly increased today."

What did Hongdou think?

Prices will not remain static and will fluctuate within a reasonable range.

"Grandma, don't be angry. When it goes up, it goes up. It's not surprising that business goes up and down."

"We don't just live on braised food."

Hongdou poured a glass of water for her grandma to let her calm down slowly.

Mother-in-law Xie naturally knows this, but something is obviously wrong with this matter today. That family is deliberately targeting us.

"My wife understands the truth, but it's different today. The prices of good meat haven't increased, but the prices of these things that are usually hard to sell have increased."

"Tell me, is this weird?"

The more Mrs. Xie talked about it, the angrier she became. Things that others had disliked in the past became apparent overnight.

"When I came over today, Butcher Zhou was hesitant and couldn't hold back a fart for a long time. It was his wife who came forward to say it later."

There must be something tricky.

Hearing Granny Xie say this, everyone felt that something was wrong.

At first they thought it was the price of pork as a whole that had gone up, but they didn't expect that just the items they needed had gone up.

Hongdou connected the two and after thinking about it, he roughly guessed the reason.

She had imagined that the cost of raw materials would not remain at the original level, but she did not expect it to come so quickly.

"Didn't you see the proud look on Butcher Zhou's wife's face, as if we had taken advantage of him before?"

"Bah, if we didn't all want that stuff, they might have thrown away a lot every day."

Seeing Mrs. Xie's angry look, Hongdou was afraid that she would be angry, so she and Xiaoya quickly rubbed her back.

The elderly should have a calm mind, otherwise they will easily get angry.

"Grandma, don't be angry. Your health is important. If you get sick because of your anger, the medicine will be much more expensive than pig's water."

Anko said jokingly, trying to divert the old man's attention.

Needless to say, this effect is really good.

When Granny Xie heard this, she immediately paused, and then took two long breaths to calm down.

As soon as this move came out, everyone laughed in unison.

"Ghost girl, you are the only one who is very clever."

Seeing that her grandma is much better now, Hongdou continues to learn about the pork situation in the town.

"Grandma, what do you think of the other pork sellers in town?"

Mrs. Xie understood what her granddaughter meant. If it was so easy to solve, she wouldn't be so anxious and angry.

"I couldn't hold back my breath on the way, so I took a long detour to visit another store in the town. It's true as Zhou Butcher's family said, it's not open at all today."

"People around me say that something happened at home, and I'm afraid the business will be closed for a few days."

She originally thought that she would rather take a longer detour instead of going to Butcher Zhou's house to buy meat.

As a result, the calculation was empty.Everyone is aware of the matter. I am afraid that Butcher Zhou’s family also knows the situation of the other family, which is why it is like this today.

Unless her family is not in the braised food business, she would have to hold her nose and admit it.

This is commonplace. Things belong to other people, and they can sell them however they want.

"Grandma, after we close the stall today, let's go visit Shimona Masaru, right?"

"Speaking of which, we asked him to ask about Xiaoya last time, but there was no response yet, so he just happened to come and ask."

Hongdou thought for a while and realized that the only one who was most familiar with the whole town was Li Zheng.

If it doesn't work, she will think of other ways.

Xiaoya was staying well by her side, but suddenly she heard that her family was going to Li Zheng to ask about her affairs.

A look of resentment.

Hongdou was afraid that she would think too much, so he looked at her reassuringly: "Stupid girl, this is just a pretext for our visit. Don't worry, I won't drive you away."

Several others also comforted her, "You are of great use. We can't live without you in our family."

"Sister Xiaoya, I can't let you go either. We want to be together forever."

Brother Tuan pulled Xiaoya's clothes and made a serious promise.

Xiaoya then smiled again. She just wanted to take the opportunity to gain attention and recognition.

Who can't speak?

"Okay, don't waste time, let's prepare things quickly, the braised food needs to be cooked for enough time to taste good."

"As for the rest, let's wait until Hongdou and Brother Tuan finish learning calligraphy from Dr. Sun today."

You can't keep wasting money on this matter. Business is more important.

Ms. Zhang took the lead and walked to the kitchen. They had already prepared some jelly and cold noodles, but the main thing was the braised sauce.

There was a little fuss today, and everyone tacitly agreed to go out earlier than usual.

Xie's food stall has gained some reputation in the neighborhood.

As soon as it was set up, customers came to the door.

Seeing that his business was as good as usual, the unhappiness of the morning was finally gone.

"Boss, please bring a portion of marinated water, a portion of cold noodles, and a bowl of cold noodles. Mix and season them. I'll take them away."

Achang arrived a little earlier than the Xie family.

Although I bought a lot yesterday, the owners basically divided the money between them.

Coupled with the uncle butler, who usually plays well, he didn't even take a few bites.

Even that kid A Ping eats more than him.

He would take the time to buy it and eat it alone without giving it to anyone.

As soon as Achang showed up, Hongdou and the others recognized him.

Isn't it the little brother who bought a lot of things yesterday, but he didn't expect to come again today.

She thought it would take a few days to finish eating so much.

"Thank you, little brother, for coming to take care of my business again today. Please sit down and wait for a while. You'll be fine soon."

Mrs. Xie greeted this "big customer" warmly.

Doesn’t this prove that her food is really delicious and clean?
How can you be unhappy?
"By the way, brother, today the stall has newly added braised pig trotters with shaved bones and braised peanuts."

"The taste is no worse than others. Do you want to try it?"

Generally, repeat customers like this will be more receptive to new things, so she will ask more questions.

Sure enough, when Achang heard Hongdou's words, he immediately ordered more.

Personal servants like them really don't need these little money to stay with the young master.

At this time, the number of guests gradually increased, but everyone was accustomed to doing things. Although it was a little busier, it was not confusing.

"Brother, this is your thing, take it."

After Achang paid the money, he smelled the contents of the package. The smell was just like yesterday.

Now I walked back with a brisk pace.

But as soon as he walked a short distance, he was stopped by something unexpected that appeared at the stall behind him.
