Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 152 All kinds of people exist!

Xu Qingmeng and the others were only idle for a short while at the beginning, and then they were not busy at all. Now their necks were covered in sweat.

My hair is soaked and is currently clinging to my neck, which is very uncomfortable.

Not to mention Xu Qingmeng, who is pregnant and sensitive to heat, even Hui Niang wasn't much better off.

Seeing Xu Qingmeng like that, Huiniang was afraid she would get too hot, so she quickly took an oiled paper box and fanned her, saying:

"This prefectural city is indeed a prefectural city, quite different from our county town. In our county town, if a meal costs more than ten coins, we'd have to think about it for a long time."

"Of course not, this is a big city, it's nothing special. You don't know, if this were in our place, let alone ten coins, you wouldn't even want someone to take out a single coin, we're so poor!" said the old woman selling wontons.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, you should get some rest too."

After chatting for a while, the old woman quickly reminded them, "Sisters, the stalls on this street aren't permanent. If you want to set up your stall here again tomorrow, you'll have to go to the person in charge at the street corner and tell them. It's best to pay for a few more days in advance and secure your spot early. Otherwise, who knows how many people will be envious of you and try to ride on your popularity to set up their stalls here tomorrow?"

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang were both taken aback, then frowned and said, "How can there be such a person?"

"Exactly! This prefectural city is huge, but how can there be such shameless people!"

"You might not know, but who can argue with that? People like you are alright, but for people like us, who have to move stoves, set up sheds, and drag tables and chairs, if we don't give them advance notice, we're really in trouble if we have to run around with all this stuff."

The steamed bun stall and wonton stall are fixed locations. They pay monthly fees, so the prices are relatively cheaper, and the stalls can be fixed.

Both families suggested that Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang book for a month, otherwise, once they had finally gained popularity, the place would be taken by someone else.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang also planned to leave after reviewing the list, estimating it would take about a month.

The two sat for a long time, thanked each other, and then prepared to get up and pack their things to go home.

Just as they were about to pack their things, Gu Yunyi arrived, followed by Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng, who was holding Yuanbao.

"Why are you all here?"

Seeing that they were preparing to pack up their stall, Gu Yunyi quickly stepped forward and told her to rest aside, saying, "I've been reading for half a day, and I thought I'd come out for some fresh air. Since you haven't gone back yet, I came to check on you."

Zhou Yuanjia also hurriedly stepped forward to help tidy up: "It looks like the evening market has just started, and you've already sold out of everything. Business is good."

"These two young ladies are very skilled, so naturally their buns sell out quickly," the woman at the bun stall said with a smile, her gaze sweeping over the group of people, her eyes becoming even more amiable.

Looking at the three men, who seemed weak and scholarly, one could easily guess where the two girls came from.

No wonder you look unfamiliar!

Gu Yunyi and the others arrived. Yuanbao was in Huiniang's hands, so the three grown men took care of it, and Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang didn't have to lift a finger.

After everyone finished packing and said goodbye to both sides, the group left together.

As they approached the street, the two men told them they needed to pay a month's worth of stall fees.

Gu Yunyi said, "It was already arranged when we rented it."

"Really? That's good, that's good."

Hearing this, the two women stopped worrying. The group then went to buy some meat and vegetables, returning to the courtyard just before dark. Gu Yunyi and Hui Niang helped with dinner; the three of them worked together, and it wasn't difficult, they quickly finished preparing the meal.

After dinner, Gu Yunyi and the other men went to clean up the kitchen, while Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang sat together and calculated the day's revenue.

After deducting costs, today's net profit is estimated to be around seven hundred coins, but compared to Gu Family Restaurant and Jinxiuxuan, that's really not much.

Xu Qing thought about it for a while. After all, it was just a small stall, and they hadn't prepared much in the morning, so they were only busy for a short while.

Even though we prepared a lot this afternoon, it was sold out very early.

All things considered, she didn't work for very long in a day, and Hui Niang did all the washing and cleaning.

Xu Qingmeng thought about it again. If they had prepared more in the morning, the profit should have been at least half a tael of silver.

In other people's eyes, half a tael of silver is a lot. If you do manual labor at the dock, you can only earn a few dozen coins a day.

Even if they split the income equally between their two families, it would still be a very considerable sum.

Hui Niang happily counted the money, laughing heartily, and kept thanking Xu Qingmeng.

She was determined to do more herself so that Xu Qingmeng wouldn't be too tired.

Xu Qingmeng just smiled. Actually, she was just looking for something to do. As for making money, she probably couldn't even match the chili oil business she was working with at the noodle shop.

Xu Qingmeng just wanted to feel fulfilled; this feeling made her feel safe and secure.

Gu Yunyi and the others heard what they were saying after they finished cleaning up the kitchen.

Fang Ziheng smiled happily: "If things continue this way, we might be able to redeem your bracelet before we leave."

Zhou Yuanjia shook the water off his hands and said, "Wow, you can earn so much in a day, it makes me want to set up a stall myself."

Gu Yunyi glanced at him: "You should focus on your studies. If you pass the exam this time, that will be better than anything else. Maybe the girl you like will agree to be with you."

Xu Qingmeng suddenly raised her head and glanced at Zhou Yuanjia: "When did this happen?"

"Ahem, well, I'm going to read a book." Zhou Yuanjia felt embarrassed by being stared at, so he used reading as an excuse to sneak away.

Gu Yunyi and Huang Boyang need no introduction; both of them were the top two in the county examination.

During the prefectural examination, Gu Yunyi ranked first, and Huang Boyang also did quite well. As long as there are no unexpected events, these two should have no problem with the provincial examination.

They had become familiar with Fang Ziheng over the past few days, and his family was not poor.

Fang Ziheng's father was a scholar who had studied since childhood and had even won first place in the county's examination.

I am naturally very confident about this examination.

Compared to the others, Zhou Yuanjia is only considered average. Whether he can succeed in this academy examination is still highly uncertain.

To be honest, Zhou Yuanjia really should review his books more.
