Chapter 7： Testimonials

After resting in the house for a while, Luo Jianjia came out.

I bought 50 catties of rice before, but now there are only two or three catties left, which is not enough to sell tomorrow. Therefore, I will go to town again today to buy some rice.

With such a big place in the home, Boss Chu and Zhao naturally also knew about it.

Knowing that Luo Jianjia was going, Zhao said with a smile: "No, you can rest at home, and I will go with your father."

Luo Jianjia said, "It's better to go with my daughter-in-law, there is not much stuff."

Zhao said: "Now our business is good, and your father and I are thinking about buying a hundred catties back. That's not easy, you have to push the cart."

One hundred catties... Luo Jianjia felt that he was back with fifty catties in one hand, effortlessly.

Zhao's and Chu's boss have not been able to eat their food all these days, and Chu's boss has fallen ill again. I wonder if the combined strength of the two of them can be half her size. Boss Chu and Zhao were not in good health, and she did not dare to let them push such a heavy object back. It would be no good if there was an accident along the way.

However, looking at Zhao's appearance, it seems that he has already made a decision. Therefore, Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "Daughter-in-law, go with you, just to go to town to buy some things, we can also help."

Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's okay. Our chickens have saved a lot of eggs, and they happened to be sold together."

At this moment, it is nearly uncorrected, less than half an hour away from Shenshi.

Although Luo Jianjia has become accustomed to eating two meals a day, he was already hungry after exhausted at noon.

Seeing that Zhao wanted to go now, he persuaded a few words: "Mother, why don't we go after dinner?"

Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, we can't stay in the town for too long. We will be back in less than an hour, and we can eat again when the time comes."

"I'm tired for noon, so let's take a good rest and go." Luo Jianjia proposed again.

Zhao clearly wanted to continue to oppose. If it was normal, she would definitely object directly. But I just calculated the copper earned in the past few days with Boss Chu, and I am happy in my heart, but not so persistent.

Moreover, she smelled the white rice every day, and she was greedy for a long time when she watched the guests eat it so fragrantly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao said, "White rice is too expensive. The three of us can't eat a catty even if we eat it open? One catty is three cents. We will have to buy rice later, which will cost a lot of money. It's better to make steamed buns. It’s hot, so let’s eat it."

Zhao also wanted to eat, but she was used to being economical, and she couldn't bear to think of spending a few hundred words in a while.

Seeing Zhao's hesitation, Luo Jianjia thought that she still made too little money. When she makes more money in the future, she will definitely have to eat white rice every day. Thinking of the passenger flow these days, Luo Jianjia felt that that day was not far away.

"Alright, daughter-in-law..."

Before Luo Jianjia's words were finished, she was interrupted by Boss Chu.

"Go steam some, maybe our family hasn't eaten white rice for a long time." Chu Lao Dadao.

When the son was in the palace nursery, they had excellent food and clothing. It's a pity that the whereabouts of his son is now unknown.

Luo Jianjia raised his head and glanced at Boss Chu, before taking another look at Zhao's.

Zhao finally changed his mouth: "Steam less, enough for you and your father to eat. I will eat steamed buns. I eat everything I eat, as long as I can fill my stomach."

Luo Jianjia was very sad when he heard this.

Boss Chu and Zhao really had nothing to say to her, whether it was out of guilt or other reasons, she would always remember this warmth and kindness. Seeing the yearning in Zhao's eyes, Luo Jianjia thought, she must think about ideas again and make more money.

"Well, the daughter-in-law should steam less, heat up some steamed buns, heat up the leftover vegetable soup at noon, and pour it in the rice instead of cooking the rice soup." Luo Jianjia said.

As expected, Zhao was very satisfied, smiled and nodded.

Luo Jianjia went to cook, and Zhao was washing the tableware used at noon. Boss Chu is on the bench. There are more and more guests. If you can't sit at two tables, he is going to make more benches. If you can't, you can at least have a stool to sit on.

Luo Jianjia made the meal just after Zhao's scrubbing.

She did not make too much white rice. She had a small bowl for herself, and then a thick noodle steamed bun, with vegetable soup left over from noon in the middle.

During the meal, everyone scooped some vegetable soup into their bowl.

Not to mention, the soup of several dishes is mixed together, and the taste is quite good.

Coupled with fragrant rice, people feel that life is nothing more than that.

Luo Jianjia has smelled the white rice for several days, and has not eaten the white rice for half a month. At the first bite in her mouth, she felt that white rice was the best food in the world.

The joy on the faces of Boss Chu and Zhao couldn't be hidden either.

Although I was able to eat white rice when the conditions were good before, it was not something I could eat all the time. Now I haven't eaten it for half a year. Now I eat it in my mouth and I am very excited.

"This white rice is delicious, and the dishes of Brother Leng and his wife are also delicious. No wonder the workers on the dock love it." Zhao said.

Boss Chu nodded: "Well, those particular merchants also love to eat, and the dishes are cooked well." After speaking, he took two more bites of rice.

A small bowl of white rice is not much, even if it is cherished, it will soon be finished.

After lunch, the three of them pushed the cart towards the town.

On the way to the town, Zhao said with a smile: “No wonder everyone said recently that I have eaten our family’s rice and work hard. After I ate it, I also feel full of energy. So the golden white rice, eat Isn’t it exciting now?"

Boss Chu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Hearing what Zhao said, Luo Jianjia thought of the question he had just thought about.

Since passing through, her strength has become so great that she can't feel the difference between the strength of eating and not eating, and there is no comparison.

But recently, she heard the sound of increased energy after eating.

I don't know if it is only after eating the rice she cooked, or as Zhao said, eating well and nutritiously, so it has strength.

The town was not far from the village, and soon three people arrived in the town.

There are too few seasonings for the Chu family, and Luo Jianjia intends to buy some other seasonings with the money he has allocated. Boss Chu went to buy rice, and Zhao went to sell eggs.

After shopping, the three went to the rice shop to meet.

On the way back, the three took turns pushing the cart. Originally, Boss Chu and Zhao didn't want Luo Jianjia to push, but after these days, they also saw that Luo Jianjia was very powerful, and they didn't refuse too much.

On the way, the Zhao family talked to Boss Chu about selling eggs.

"Eggs are too cheap now. It used to be two cents a penny, but now the small one is three cents. I have worked so hard to save more than 20 eggs, and in the end it was less than ten cents."

"Now it's not new year but not festival, the price of eggs is low. When the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price will go up." Chu Lao Dadao.

"Well, you are right."

Luo Jianjia was surprised when he heard Zhao say that eggs are so cheap. I have to feed chickens on weekdays, so it’s really not cost-effective to rely on eggs to exchange money.

It's better to make something with the egg...

Luo Jianjia hadn't figured out exactly what he was going to do, and the group of them returned to Chu's Village before the meeting.

When they came out, it was time for dinner. There were not many people outside. At this moment, everyone had finished eating, and the work in the field was finished in the morning. They all started talking outside.

Luo Jianjia and others, who were pushing a cart, naturally became the object of everyone's attention.

"Uncle, what are you buying, why are so many?" someone asked.

"This is noodles, right?" someone asked with glaring eyes, looking at the flour on the cart.

Now that it was seen, Boss Chu did not hide it, saying: "Well, I bought some rice noodles."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested.

"Wow, these are all rice? Why buy so many rice?"

"Big brother's family is rich, so I'm willing to eat white rice."

Aunt Wang said on the side: "People go to the dock to sell some food, don't they just buy rice."

Another person then asked: "Yes, I watched you go to the pier to sell food from a distance that day. There were quite a lot of people. Business was good, right?"

Before Boss Chu answered, someone asked: "How much money can I make every day?"

Looking at the people around him and listening to these words, Luo Jianjia felt helpless. But she also knows that many people are just curious to ask, and they are not bad-hearted.

Boss Chu said very cautiously: "Just make a few cents."

"Really, I see business is very good."

"There are many people here, but the price is low, so you can sell two cents for a single serving, and you can't make any money."

Boss Chu and Zhao are honest people. Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, they didn't ask more.

However, after they left, the villagers continued to chat.

"There is a brother in my mother's family who works on the dock. I heard that his family's food is very good, and many people go to eat every day."

"Really?"

"I believe this, I have seen it with my own eyes."

"But the price is really low, and the white rice is not cheap either."

"Yeah, that means making a hard cost."

…

While talking, talk about something else.

"It's not easy for them, and Brother Leng doesn't know if he can come back."

"Isn't it? The Luo family's girl is so beautiful, she has to remarry sooner or later."

"Hey, this old brother and sister-in-law are also suffering."

Most people know that there is not much profit in this, so they don't think much in their hearts. But some people looked at the car of rice noodles and listened to what the crowd said, but they started to think differently.

After returning home, Boss Chu didn't look good and said, "From now on, let's go quietly to the town to buy rice."

"Isn't it? It's eye-catching." Zhao said.

Luo Jianjia agrees with this sentence very much.

Because business was good in the past few days and many people came to eat, they did more the next day.

This time, Luo Jianjia didn't go ahead to cook dinner, but went to clean up the table. She listened carefully to what the diners were saying.

"It’s not weird to say that the dishes at this restaurant are fragrant. After eating, I feel full of energy. I didn’t come to eat yesterday. I asked my mother-in-law to cook it once when I went home. It wasn’t so fragrant. It's boring."

"Isn't it, I'm the same as you. This meal is just well done. I have eaten it for a few days, and my strength is stronger than before."

"Yes, yes, so am I. The dishes are fragrant and the rice is steamed delicious."

"I don't know how his family made it."

"I know that, that day I heard from the aunt who served food that it was the unique secret recipe of the family."

"Oh, no wonder my mother-in-law can't fry this taste."

Luo Jianjia was fascinated by these words. He didn't pay attention to the strength of his hands. He only heard a "click", the wooden plate was smashed by her.

Looking at the broken plate in her hand, Luo Jianjia looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly put the plate aside and continued to tidy up the dishes.

Later, she went to listen to the words of many diners.

If one or two people say that they are energetic, but so many people mention it, it shows that there is something wrong.

However, Luo Jianjia did not believe that it was his own cause.

Originally, there were only a dozen people eating here, but now there are 20 to 30 people. Boss Chu and Zhao are very happy.

After returning home, Luo Jianjia thought of the things he was thinking about recently, so he said that cooking was too much and he was a little tired, so he left the cooking to the Zhao family.

In fact, she wanted to verify whether the food she cooked really had that power.

Zhao didn't think much about it, but was especially considerate of her, and took over the cooking job.

In the next few days, the vegetables and rice sold at the pier were all made by Luo Jianjia, but the food at home was made by Zhao.

After a few days of this, Luo Jianjia thumped his shoulder when he saw Boss Chu come back with Chai Chai.

"What's wrong with you, tired? I told you that you are not in good health, and you don't listen. What if you get sick again?" Zhao said anxiously.

A few days ago, Boss Chu felt that he was much lighter. He thought he was better, so he did more work. In the past few days, he found that he was a little tired again. He also knew that if he was sick, he would have to spend money to increase the burden on the family, and he said: "Well, I won't do that much tomorrow."

When Luo Jianjia heard this conversation, he asked without a trace: "Dad, how tired these days?"

Boss Chu was afraid that his family would be worried, and said, "It's okay, it's not too tired."

Although Boss Chu didn't say it clearly, Luo Jianjia understood it. Boss Chu said before that he was lighter and stronger. Today I say "not too tired", which shows that I am tired and not as good as before.

Luo Jianjia said: "Well, maybe I have been working a lot in the past few days, but I feel a little tired. Mother, how about you?"

Zhao helped his waist, stood up, and said, "I'm okay. I didn't have much work, so I can wash the dishes and wash the dishes, so I can be busy."

Seeing such reaction from Boss Chu and Zhao, Luo Jianjia was almost certain that the magical power of the diners came from him.

If she really has such abilities, why not worry about selling food in the future, she can make a fortune by selling food, and survive in this era.

Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia's mood became very good.

After the afternoon nap, Luo Jianjia went to cook. After eating the meal she cooked, Boss Chu and Zhao seemed to feel alive again.

After a few days of this, Luo Jianjia was not completely sure of the effect of cooking, but found that there was another restaurant selling food on the dock.

It's nothing more than eating by the side, but the person who sells is the same as them, it's a set meal of rice.

Luo Jianjia had thought that there would be imitators, but he didn't expect the imitators to come so fast and so indifferent, almost in line with them.

Moreover, the other party's dishes are larger than theirs.

They have one portion of vegetables and one portion of pickles, but they have two portions of vegetables, the price is still the same, and they give more portions.

On that day, fewer people came to eat with them than before.

The Zhao family was very anxious, looking at someone who was selling the same food not far away, and wanted to rush over. Although Boss Chu is not like Zhao, he can also tell from his face that he is anxious.

And the rice, which could be sold out in half an hour, was sold for a whole hour. Not only that, there are some left.

The Zhao family originally wanted to sell at a low price, but Luo Jianjia stopped it.

When we went back that day, Boss Chu and Zhao were in a bad mood.
