370 Good Rewards
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only ate a small bowl of liangpi each, and Xue Sifu ate the rest.
After drinking the herbal tea, she washed their bowls and chopsticks and then packed them up.
“You’re closing your stall so early today?” The young man beside him asked with a smile. Just now, he saw a child coming, but he didn’t hear what the child said.
“We have no business, so the earlier we pack, the earlier we can go back.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“Your business isn’t doing well, but mine isn’t either.” The young man said with a bitter face. “It was all thanks to your family’s blessing before, but I’ll have to give up. I’ll set up my stall somewhere else tomorrow. I haven’t sold anything these past few days.”
The middle-aged woman at the stall diagonally opposite had quarreled with this young man before. In the end, she was a soft-hearted person and let all of it go. They were all out to do business, and it wasn’t easy for them to make a living. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but advise him in a kind voice, “You’d better not change the location. If you do, it’ll be difficult for you to come back in the future. Your space might be occupied by someone else. The weather won’t be hot all the time. It’ll get cooler sooner or later. By then, their family’s business will be booming again. By then, our food will naturally be easier to sell thanks to their rice noodles.”
The young man was not as generous as the aunt. He still remembered what happened before. If only he knew how to make rice noodles. It would be great. It was all the fault of this nosy aunt!
He immediately turned to the woman and said in a bad tone, “It’ll be hot for a month or two. Now that we have to pay ten coins for this stall, it isn’t worth it anymore! If there’s no business for a month or two, we’ll end up losing money!”
“You have tunnel vision!” The aunt was so angry that she almost choked.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu all felt that some people just deserved to not earn much.
When the young man heard the aunt say this, his tone became even more aggressive. “I don’t believe that you guys can survive for one or two months without any business!”
The auntie was extremely angry and said, “If you leave, I’ll immediately take your spot! It’s such a good spot, I won’t give it back even if you want it!”
When the rice noodles were popular, the vendor next to them had the best business. She had tried to persuade him out of goodwill, but he had refused. She decided to let it go that time.
“If you want it, then take it. I don’t care if you want it or not. Anyway, I’m leaving tomorrow!” The young man was also very unyielding. In any case, he would not be able to survive a month or two without any business.
He also felt that even if this aunt took the position, she would not be able to last for such a long time without business. She would definitely be like him and set up a stall elsewhere.
When the rice noodle business was about to get better, he would come back a few days in advance to take back his seat.
Then, he would only have to pay for a few days in vain. If he didn’t change his stall location and stayed here, he would have to pay for one or two months in vain.
In any case, this young man thought that his little scheme was very clear and foolproof.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu were all smart people. They saw through this young man’s plan with a glance, but none of them said anything.
Aunt was a good person, and good people should be rewarded, right?
After packing up the stall, Xue Sifu went to the ox cart again. He tied his things to the ox cart and went to Shen’s Medical Hall with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
When Doctor Shen saw them, he sent the runner away to do other things. Then, he whispered to them, “I could only get you this much. I can’t get more even if I wanted to. Other people don’t know what’s in these two bags. Quickly get the things on the ox cart and take them back.”
