Chapter 123 Deliberately Provoking (4)_1
"Someone! There’s someone! Taiping Town isn’t small, and there’s plenty of lazy folks who don’t want to cook! That noodle shop is always packed with customers every day!" Grandma Sun said as she ambled through town several times at noon after hearing they wanted to start a stall.
"So we should set up in the mornings when there is a market, and at noon when there isn’t?" Pei Qin asked Lady Fang.
"Good!" Lady Fang naturally followed her advice, ready to endure any hardship as long as there was money to be made!
Having made that agreement, Grandma Sun insisted on pulling them over to her place for a meal.
Last time Pei Qin and Si Ya had eaten at their house, they had spared no expense with meat and chicken and even sent back a chicken leg. Lady Fang dared not keep them any longer and politely declined, then stowed away their stuff at their home and dragged the handcart back to the village with the others in tow.
Pei Houli also returned from the market. The picks hadn’t sold well, and he didn’t see Sun Tie Zhu selling picks anymore, instead, he was holed up at home doing who knows what. He had a hunch it was related to Pei Qin, and after some thought, he decided to come out and ask Lady Fang. However, he found the doors locked from the outside and no one at home.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw them coming back, pulling a contraption with wheels, and he instantly knew it was made of wood, guessing that Pei Qin had taken it to Sun Tie Zhu to work on. That’s why Sun Tie Zhu had brought over meat and pastries and that wooden board before. Pei Houli felt he couldn’t let this continue and stood at the doorway waiting, "You all went to the market!?"
Lady Fang had been considering asking him, given his woodworking job and familiarity with lots of people, to find a good household for Pei Qin. But now that they had found the quite suitable Zou Xing, she no longer wanted anything to do with Pei Houli.
Si Ya eyed him suspiciously as he examined the handcart, opened the door, and quickly pulled it inside the house.
Pei Qin, both tired and hungry, asked, "Are there any more bamboo shoots? Mix them with meat for a stir-fry, and cook up some rice porridge!"
"There are still a few left! You rest a bit, Mom will go make it right away!" Lady Fang set everything down and hurried off to the kitchen.
