âIsnât it amazing? Letâs buy it and give it a try!â âYes, itâs quite reasonably priced.â
âWhat if we all chip in and buy a pack together?â
âSure, the three of us will buy a pack together.â
While they were still deliberating, Third Aunt-in-law approached and purchased 20 pancakes. She squeezed in and exclaimed, âSister Qin, give me a packet of seasonings!â
âIâm going to use the seasonings to make breakfast at home. If theyâre truly delicious, Iâll buy ten packets in one go!â âAlright, thank you, Third Aunt-in-law!â
Qin Zhenzhen accepted the money and handed her a bag of seasonings.
Before Third Aunt-in-law left, she jokingly remarked to the others, âDonât think Iâm doing this for your sake! Iâm telling you, Iâm not!â
Everyone burst into laughter.
Another man stepped forward and pulled out money. âGive me a bag of seasonings.â
Someone recognized him and asked, âArenât you the owner of the porridge shop? Are you planning to use the seasonings in your porridge?â
The man nodded and replied, âYes, if you want to taste it, come to my porridge shop. â
Their porridge offerings ranged from expensive to affordable.
They served individual portions of porridge cooked in a small pot, with fresh meat rolled into it after seasoning. This option was relatively expensive, priced at 15 wen per pot.
The large pot of porridge, made with pig bones and slightly superior to plain porridge, was sold at a more affordable price of 2 wen per bowl.
Someone visited the porridge shop, but all the customers who tasted the porridge returned and immediately bought Qin Zhenzhenâs seasonings without hesitation.
Even Third Aunt-in-law made a comeback, rushing over to ensure she didnât miss out on the seasonings. She shouted from a distance, âQin Dalong, tell your sister to save 10 packs for me!â
Qin Dalong chuckled. âDonât worry, theyâre not sold out yet!â
Third Aunt-in-law happily purchased 10 packets of seasonings and said, âWe should share good things! Iâll have my relatives try one packet.â
Another person chimed in, âBy the way, Qin Family girl, will you always sell seasonings like this?â
Qin Zhenzhen nodded. âYes, I plan to continue selling these seasonings for a long time. Even if Iâm not personally at the stall, Iâll have my brother sell them on my behalf.â
Third Aunt-in-law felt reassured and said, âThatâs great! Iâll save some for myself in case I need them later.â
At this point, more and more people flocked to buy the seasonings.
The novelty and affordability of the product sparked an unprecedented desire to purchase among the customers.
Soon, hundreds of bags of seasonings were sold out.
Those who missed out on buying were filled with regret.
Qin Zhenzhen happily assured them, âWe will definitely have more in stock for the next market day!â
In the following days, Qin Zhenzhen planned to produce a large quantity of seasonings.
After the seasonings sold out, the remaining yam bean candied haws quickly followed suit. Qin Zhenzhen decided to stop frying more pancakes.
She patted Su Ningâs shoulders and addressed the siblings, âIâll take you shopping and see what you want to buy. Iâll get it for you.â
Qin Zhenzhenâs initial intention was to make the Su Family indebted to her, so that she could establish a favorable relationship with them.
However, after spending numerous days with her brother and sister, Qin Zhenzhen realized that they were not bad people. In fact, they had been helping her selflessly, without expecting anything in return.
This realization made her determined to treat them better.
But when Qin Zhenzhen offered to take them shopping, Su Ning and Su Cheng responded in unison, âWe have nothing to buy.â
Their greatest desire was not for material possessions but rather to have three meals a day and occasional meat to eat.
Now, both of these desires had been fulfilled, and they were genuinely content and satisfied..
