Chapter 10 Make Money
"The first time we set up the stall, we got very little. If you like to eat, when we get home, we can make more deliveries to everyone." Meng Qingning greeted everyone warmly.

After eating, everyone praised the fish balls and asked Wang how to make the fish balls.

Mrs. Wang is honest, but she also knows that fish balls are the only way they can make money now. If the formula is revealed, their business will be over.

Just when she was at a loss when she was asked, Aunt Wang saw her embarrassment and hurriedly smoothed things over, "You guys are being unkind. If you like it, let my sister make more and deliver it to everyone next time, but you can't let it happen." She can’t do business.”

These words directly put the bet on the lips of those who covet the formula.

After eating, he left in a hurry.

Aunt Wang looked at her sister with hatred, "You just suffered the consequences."

Meng Qingning also sincerely admired Aunt Wang for her ability to advance and retreat in a controlled manner without any fear of offending others.

Although these two are biological sisters, their personalities are really different.

Then a few more customers came. Some of them felt unsatisfied after finishing the meal, so they packed a portion for their family members.

By the afternoon, all their fish balls had been sold out early, and even the lady on the side had to lament their booming business.

Meng Qingning gave the last bowl of fish balls to her aunt and told her to try it. It was all because of the good business today.

The aunt was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

He praised Meng Qingning for being sensible.

After packing up, several people calculated together and found that the total sold was 320 four cents, which was definitely a huge sum of money for them now.

The family stared at the money and were excited.

"Although it's not too much, it's still a good start. What are your plans later?" Aunt Wang asked.

"Fishballs are simple to make, and our sales this time are pretty good. It will definitely make others want to imitate, and maybe others will take over the business. Let's try selling it a few times first, and then look for other businesses later. "Meng Qingning analyzed step by step.

Aunt Wang agreed with her statement.

Wang's heart trembled for a moment, she finally had a profitable craft, but if it just disappeared, what would they do in the future?
After seeing her worries, Meng Qingning comforted her, "There are millions of things to eat in this world, we can slowly add them up, not to mention they won't be able to make this thing for a while."

Although the fish balls are simple to make, her own spices are added to her fish balls, which is the secret to keeping their taste unique.

So even if the fish balls look exactly the same, they taste completely different.

Wang finally relaxed.

"I have to thank my aunt for her help today, otherwise we wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Meng Qingning sincerely thanked her.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang deliberately said with a straight face, "You kid is too outspoken. Those fish balls you gave me are far more than the cost of renting these furniture for a day."

It turned out that when they first arrived, they had set aside a large bag of fish balls and sent them to the Yang family.

"As long as you like it."

After a few people exchanged greetings and returned the borrowed things, Yang Qianni reluctantly said goodbye to them.

After leaving the Yang family, Meng Qingning discussed with Lu's father and mother, and gave each of Lu Qinan and Lu Qiyu three copper coins.

Let them buy something they want to eat.

They have been busy these days.

Although the money is not much, it should be regarded as an affirmation to them.

The two of them didn't want to accept it at first, but when Meng Qingning insisted, they took it.

This was the first time they participated in making money, and they cherished it very much. They put the coins in their clothes.

Lu's father and Lu's mother didn't want to favor one over the other and wanted to give some to Meng Qingning, not to mention that the money was mainly earned by Meng Qingning.

But Meng Qingning refused, "This money must be used where it is really needed. When I make more money in the future, I will get it myself even if my parents don't tell me." How could they not understand Meng Qingning? Due to Ning's good intentions, the matter was dropped.

As farmers, the family had more or less food in storage, but when they separated, they didn't bring anything out. The food at home had been eaten up long ago. After thinking about it for a while, they decided to buy some food back.

When I arrived at the rice shop, I learned that due to the war, the price of a bucket of rice has risen to 120 yuan, and a pound of meat next to it costs [-] yuan.

Nothing they can afford.

In the end, I only bought some brown rice and multigrain noodles.

But this already made them happy. After all, they couldn't even afford this two days ago.

After buying rice, there was not much money left, and there were countless things that were missing at home. In the end, I could only buy two pieces of furniture that were in short supply.

I didn't want to eat the food, so I started on the way home. Aunt Wang still felt sorry for the children and forced herself to stuff some pancakes.

Wang gave a few pancakes to the three of them. She and Lu Zhengting only drank a few sips of the water they brought.

When Aunt Wang gave them, there were five pancakes in total, indicating that there was one for each person, but Wang kept two pancakes.

Those were white flour pancakes, which they hadn't eaten in a long time.

Save it for a few kids to satisfy their cravings.

After Meng Qingning took the pancake, she tore half of it and handed it to Wang, with a stubborn expression on her face that if she didn't take it, she wouldn't eat it.

In fact, she did not agree with Wang's approach, but as a parent, she could only convince herself to accept it because of her painstaking efforts as a parent.

Lu Qinan's sister and brother also followed suit, broke open their own cakes and handed them to Lu's father.

"Eat quickly. I'll make delicious food for everyone when we go home."

Meng Qingning stuffed it directly into Wang's hands.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengting smiled bitterly and said, "Eat it. If you don't eat it, they won't be able to eat it either."

In this way, the family shared the three pancakes.

When I arrived in the village, I met several people, one of whom was the third aunt of the Lu family.

Mr. Liu is a very shrewd person, and rarely embarrasses the second house. However, he is good at killing people with a borrowed knife, and this knife is the first house.

As soon as she saw them, Madam Liu looked them over from top to bottom, and then said enthusiastically, "I heard that the second brother and second sister-in-law went to town to set up a stall today?"

"What kind of business are you doing?" He said, staring at the grain on Lu Zhengting's back, "Is the business good?"

In fact, Meng Qingning knew that setting up a stall could not be hidden from the Lu family.

But they didn't expect that these people would be waiting for them directly at the entrance of the village.

She didn't have the time to make excuses with them, "Third Aunt, we have separated our families, so you don't have to worry about what we do."

Perhaps the actions of the people in Laozhai these past few days have completely chilled the second wife's heart, and Lu Zhengting and Wang are no longer as pleasant as they used to be.

He directly followed Meng Qingning's footsteps.

This made Ms. Liu very angry, but in order to maintain her character, she still kept a smile on the surface, calmed down her mood, and chased after him again.

"What are you talking about? No matter we are separated or not, we are still one family. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."

Meng Qingning sneered, "It's not Third Aunt's bones that we broke. No wonder he spoke so easily."

"I'm talking to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Why are you, an outsider, interrupting!" The third aunt finally couldn't pretend any longer. She glanced at Meng Qingning arrogantly, then turned around and said to Mrs. Wang, "Second sister-in-law, it's not me. Speaking of you, as a mother-in-law, you still need to be taught some rules."

"Ning'er is very well-behaved. Don't worry about your younger siblings." Even the good-tempered Wang could not help but retort.
