Chapter 100 - The Triplets Are Turning One Month Old
Guan Chibei looked at her. "Is there anything else? You could have already gathered the pig feed while we were talking."
As soon as these words were said, Liu Ya seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She looked miserable and pitiful. Her body trembled as she stood there and looked at Guan Chibei.
Guan Chibei said, "I'll be leaving then." He turned around and walked steadily towards the river.
It was unknown if Liu Ya was embarrassed. Her white teeth bit her lower lip hard, causing her petite and thin lips to turn red.
She watched as the man walked away. Her eyes were filled with embarrassment, but one could tell that there was a hint of unwillingness as well.
…
The sky turned dark and there was a commotion at the door of the Guan family's courtyard. Mother Rong walked in excitedly. When Guan Chixi saw this, he knew that business went well again today!
"Mother!" Guan Chixi suddenly rushed out and asked repeatedly, "How is it? How is it? Was today's business good?!"
Father Guan rubbed his hands and walked out from behind Mother Rong, his face filled with excitement.
It was his first time setting up a stall in the city today, so the impact on him was even greater than Mother Rong! Father Guan was so excited that he was at a loss for words. "Oh my… so many people! There was also a huge group of people surrounding our stall and they didn't leave! However, many women surrounded our stall and asked us about this and that. They wanted to ask for a cheaper price, but couldn't bear to leave, so they stayed for a long time…"
Father Guan rubbed his hands and said, "I just found out that there were so many people buying our food!"
Ye Lulu heard this and laughed.
After dinner, Guan Chibei brought them to take a look. "I caught twenty fishes today. They should be enough for three or four days."
The lively and fresh grass carps were raised in a large vat in the kitchen.
"Oh!" Mother Rong said happily, "That's great. I was just about to say that there isn't enough fish in the stall. Everyone actually likes to eat fish porridge and chicken porridge. On the other hand, pork porridge doesn't sell as well as pig liver porridge. There were very few people who wanted lean meat. There's still more than half of the pork left today. We don't have to buy so much pork tomorrow…"
"Instead, we need more grass carps. You have caught them well. Oh, they're so big. One fish weighs three to four catties. It should be enough for a few days…"
The business hadn't reached the point of being extremely popular yet. After all, there were too many people at the docks. There would be a stall every few steps. However, compared to yesterday, business was a little better. The glutinous rice chickens were all sold out. The fried dumplings were selling better than yesterday. There were less than ten left. On the other hand, there was indeed a lot of pork left. There was also a little bit of each ingredient left over.
As a result, Mother Rong had to cook dinner tonight but the ingredients were too scattered and it was very troublesome to cook.
The Guan family naturally counted the money excitedly. Then, according to the things they had sold today, Ye Lulu planned out the amounts of various ingredients they would need in the next few days. They could just follow her amounts to set up the stall.
The family slept soundly.
The Guan family's stall was set up for the next few days. It was very profitable every day. It was generally confirmed that their family would be doing business in the future.
Before long, it was time for the triplets to turn one month old.
Although the Guan family's stall had been set up for less than ten days, the triplets were so important to the family that they could not neglect them turning one month old. Therefore, on this day, the Guan family stopped the stall and did not go to the docks to do business.
It was also thanks to this business that by the time the triplets were one month old, the Guan family had earned some money. With money, they could buy things for the triplets for their one-month celebration.
