Zhang Yunniang showed a look of "as expected" when she heard this. She reached out and gently poked Niuniu's smooth forehead, and said to her daughter: "Look, your Aunt Liu has only known you for a short time, but she is already thinking about you in everything. When you grow up, remember to be filial to Aunt Liu, do you know?"

Niuniu smiled and nodded, and then leaned her head softly on Liu Xiaoru's neck, and said in a baby voice: "Mom, I will be filial to Aunt Liu and you. In the future, I will make a lot of money and buy you a big house to live in and buy countless gold jewelry to wear. Mom and Aunt Liu don't have to do anything, just enjoy every day."

Zhang Yunniang's heart softened when she heard this, and she said angrily: "I don't know who learned it from, so sweet."

Liu Xiaoru laughed and laughed at the side, and couldn't help sighing, saying: "If I were a man, I would marry my sister and be Niuniu's father, then I would definitely be the happiest man in the world."

Before Zhang Yunniang had time to speak, a familiar man's voice came from outside the shop.

"You are not so lucky. I am the luckiest man in the world." Gu Mingda walked in with a lot of bags and a smile.

Niuniu hadn't seen Gu Mingda for a whole day, and she immediately cheered. Her little body was about to throw itself on Gu Mingda, and Liu Xiaoru almost didn't hold her.

"Niuniu said she liked me and was filial to me, but once she saw your father, she threw me out of her mind." Liu Xiaoru pretended to be jealous.

Niuniu immediately turned around and shrank back to Liu Xiaoru, stretched out her little hand and gently patted the top of Liu Xiaoru's head, imitating the way Zhang Yunniang usually coaxed the child, looking at her seriously, and said:

"Niuniu really likes Aunt Liu very much. Niuniu didn't lie, but Niuniu likes several people. In addition to Aunt Liu, there are also parents, grandparents, and the eldest, second, and third brothers."

Liu Xiaoru was stared at intently by the child's eyes, and she couldn't help but believe everything the child said, and believed that she was also a very important existence to Niuniu.

The jealousy in Liu Xiaoru's heart suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Yunniang and Gu Mingda, who were standing by, also felt bitter at this time. They thought that although Niuniu was young, she was like a mirror in her heart and knew who was the real one.

The next morning, when the stewed food was cooked, there were three or four people waiting outside the door.

"I don't know how your stewed food is made. People want to eat it again after eating it. Before I tasted it, my husband had been tossing and turning in bed all night, thinking about it. I finally ate it yesterday. My husband still wants to eat it. The children at home also love it. They urged me to come before dawn, fearing that others would grab it all." The woman said with a smile.

She was the first customer yesterday, and the first one to come today.

Liu Xiaoru felt that nothing was happier than seeing repeat customers. Although she was very confident in her own stewed food, the affirmation from customers made it easier for her to be confident in this business.

"I want dried tofu and a roast chicken..." The woman had already spent a lot of money to buy so many things at once, but when she saw the fragrant quail eggs, she couldn't help but be moved.

"I don't know if your quail eggs are delicious." The woman whispered.

Liu Xiaoru weighed the dried tofu and roast chicken she wanted, calculated the money, and scooped two quail eggs in.

The woman was unhappy when she saw this move. She thought she was forced to buy and was about to say that she hadn't decided whether to buy or not.

Liu Xiaoru smiled and said: "A good start, I'll treat you to these quail eggs, no money."

The woman immediately smiled.

The customer waiting behind her saw this and immediately brightened up and said, "I also want to know if the quail eggs are delicious."

Liu Xiaoru naturally knew that she had met someone who was looking for a bargain. Recalling the amount of money the woman had just bought, she said confidently, "Customer, if you spend more than five cents, you will get two quail eggs."

The customer didn't want to buy so many, but seeing that there was a bargain to be made, she gritted her teeth and bought a lot.

The customers who came to wait early in the morning were willing to spend money to eat braised food that was much more expensive than ordinary ingredients, which proved that they were not short of money. The two customers behind also bought a lot of quail eggs to take advantage of the bargain.

Liu Xiaoru thought that the business would be much worse without Niuniu's live performance, but she didn't expect that more than half of yesterday's customers would become repeat customers today.

Although the location is remote, relying on these repeat customers, more than half of the sales were sold in the morning.

Towards noon, another big customer came.

As soon as Cheng He entered the door, he said, "How much braised food do you have left? I'll buy it all."

Liu Xiaoru remembered this person and bought a lot yesterday.

"Are you sure you want all of it?" Liu Xiaoru asked in disbelief. After all, there were so many braised food left, and the total amount was almost ten taels of silver.

Cheng He nodded vigorously. He was amazed by the food he brought back yesterday after just tasting it.

His grandfather was almost seventy years old, and he almost fought with his father on the spot for a bite of food.

Cheng He came to Yuanbao Street to collect debts yesterday. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a big surprise just by going out casually.

After the initial excitement, Liu Xiaoru was not very willing to sell it, and said, "Customer, no matter how good the braised food is, it can't be eaten as a meal."

Cheng He hurriedly said, "My surname is Cheng, Cheng above and He below, you can just call me by my name."

Others introduced themselves, and Liu Xiaoru could only respond politely.

But she still insisted on her idea: "Boss Cheng, I can't sell you all the remaining braised food. First, there are too many, and it will be a waste if you can't finish it. Second, it's not even halfway through the day. If other customers come in the afternoon and can't buy my braised food, they will be sad."

Cheng He was very rich and said, "Boss Liu, money is not a problem. As long as it can be guaranteed to be as delicious as yesterday, I can increase the price by 10%."

"As for the waste, you don't have to worry about it. I run a restaurant. I buy so many braised food to attract business for my restaurant."

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she realized that this was a big business.

But she continued to shake her head and said, "Now there are so many braised food left, I can sell you half at most."

Liu Xiaoru did this not out of consideration for the long-term business.

But she remembered the woman who came to buy braised food early in the morning for two consecutive days.

She remembered the happiness and satisfaction of getting delicious food on her face when she mentioned her own braised food.

Cheng He didn't know what Liu Xiaoru was thinking, but he looked at her with a higher opinion.

In the short term, it is indeed time-saving and labor-saving to pack and sell all the braised food at once, but in the long term, it is not a good thing.

The braised food in this shop is really good. As long as there are enough people selling it, there will be a constant stream of repeat customers, and there will never be a lack of business.

Cheng He didn't expect that Liu Xiaoru looked ordinary, but she was unmoved by the huge temptation. She was quite good.

He wanted to persuade her again, but Liu Xiaoru was very determined. Cheng He had no choice but to buy the remaining half of the braised food reluctantly.

Now that the business has just started, Liu Xiaoru cooks a pot every day in the big iron pot in the backyard kitchen, and tries to sell it all on the same day, not leaving it overnight.

"Boss Liu, forget about today. Tomorrow you can cook a big pot of braised food for me, and I can pay you a deposit in advance."

Cheng He was afraid that Liu Xiaoru would be unhappy, so he changed his words just after saying this: "I can pay all the money, as long as you can give me a pot of braised food. You name a price, and I will give you the money now."

Liu Xiaoru looked embarrassed and said: "There is only one big pot in the backyard. Even if I want to agree, there is nothing I can do."

Cheng He said without thinking: "How big is the pot? I will buy it for you. Do you need to build a stove? I will find someone to build one for you today!"
