The als for more than a dozen people were all entrusted to Sun Dawu alone.
Mu Shuangshuang wanted to help but couldn’t, Sun Dawu didn’t allow it.
She and Lu Yuanfeng had no choice but to resort to calling Sun Dawu’s wife and daughter over for dinner.
During this period, Sun Dawu was researching dishes at the restaurant.
His wife was making baked pancakes at their doorstep to sell, and at this point, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng could definitely find her.
However, the business at Sun Dawu’s baked pancake stall was not as good as it was in Shigou Town.
The brand aura Mu Shuangshuang had created for Sun Dawu was gone, and they were unfamiliar with Qingshan Town, making business less comfortable than in Shigou Town.
Passing diners only regarded Sun Dawu’s Wu Dalang baked pancakes as ordinary baked pancakes.
After buying one and tasting it, even if they found the flavor pretty good, they wouldn’t linger much longer.
Sun Dawu and his wife felt disappointed for a period, but neither could achieve what Mu Shuangshuang had done in Shigou Town, shouting so that everyone knew and attracted everyone over.
So by the end of the day, they only sold three to five baked pancakes; on bad days, they sold only one pancake by noon.
They couldn’t even recoup their costs.
At Sun Dawu’s door, Daya was sitting on a small stool by the stall, selling baked pancakes with Sun Dawu’s wife.
The two of them were eagerly watching the passing custors, and Sun Dawu’s wife occasionally shouted a few tis, all in a timid manner.
Not really letting loose.
"Mom, let’s go inside, no one is buying pancakes today." Daya looked at their stall and said to Sun Dawu’s wife.
The ten-year-old Daya already understood.
She could see how people around them viewed their pancake stall and whether they had the desire to buy anything.
She took all these in with her eyes.
"Even if no one buys, we still have to hold down the fort here. Your dad is still busy in the restaurant; we can’t slack off."
Sun Dawu’s wife sighed and looked at the baked pancakes that were ready to be put into the pan, her face also full of lancholy.
In the past, when Mu Shuangshuang was selling baked pancakes, she didn’t follow along.
She just listened to her husband saying that when Mu Shuangshuang shouted on the street a few tis, everyone just ca over.
Later, people in Shigou Town ca to know about Wu Dalang baked pancakes.
Every day, everyone went to their stall to buy one or two baked pancakes, and back then, the Sun family’s inco for a day topped a month’s profit from before.
Speaking of those days, Sun Dawu’s wife has so nostalgia even now.
"Mom, let’s go back to Shigou Town, this isn’t our ho. Little Bamboo... we can only see Little Bamboo once every seven days, don’t you miss Little Bamboo?"
Seven days of classes, one day off at the academy.
Every seven days, Sun Xiaozhu would be brought back to town by Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
If Daya wanted to see her brother, she had to wait seven days, which clearly was a kind of tornt for siblings who grew up together.
"Daya, didn’t Mom tell you, your brother has to study, didn’t Dad work hard here in Qingshan Town for a reason?
Isn’t it to send your brother Little Bamboo to school, and save money for you, so that when you get married, you’ll have a considerable dowry?"
Sun Dawu’s wife doesn’t hide her thoughts in front of her daughter.
She says what she ans.
"Then I just won’t get married!" Daya said softly.
Sun Dawu’s wife didn’t hear clearly and asked Daya, "What did you say?"
Daya quickly shook her head.
At that mont, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng arrived at the Sun family.
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang approached the stall, Sun Dawu’s wife smiled broadly at her and said, "Miss Shuangshuang, why are you here?"
"Brother Dawu said we’ll have dinner at the restaurant today, and Fengzi and I ca to call you over. Sister-in-law, you pack up, let’s go together!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"My mom’s not going! My mom wants to sell baked pancakes here, and if the pancakes don’t sell, we won’t do anything."
Perhaps because Sun Dawu’s wife had just reprimanded Daya, or because Daya always felt that it was Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, these two strangers, who ssed up their family.
So the usually reserved Daya spoke with a hint of prickliness.
"What did you just say, child! Shut up!"
"Mom, it was you who said to sell more baked pancakes to lighten Dad’s load, why do you change in front of Auntie and Uncle?" Daya asked.
"Daya... why are you so insensible? If I didn’t ask you to speak, then don’t speak."
Being exposed in public, Sun Dawu’s wife blushed.
After scolding Daya, she suddenly didn’t know how to explain to Mu Shuangshuang.
And Daya, after being scolded, her eyes soon turned red, looking like she was about to cry.
"Miss Shuangshuang, I’m sorry, the child doesn’t understand, don’t take it to heart."
Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, we should move the baked pancakes to the market for sale. Although there are many passersby here, it doesn’t an they’ll stop to buy your baked pancakes."
"Miss Shuangshuang, let’s not sell baked pancakes anymore, Father Xiao Zhu might already be waiting for us." Sun Dawu’s wife didn’t want to bother Mu Shuangshuang.
Eager to close the stall.
Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward, placing her hand on the baked pancake stall.
"Sister-in-law, you go change your clothes first, Fengzi and I will help you move the stall to the market ahead, selling one more baked pancake ans less burden for Brother Dawu."
Moreover, it’s about alti.
Mu Shuangshuang felt they should try their luck and might be able to sell a few pancakes.
Sun Dawu’s wife glanced at the clothes she was wearing. They were old clothes her husband had worn before, which she had altered and taken out to wear, and there were quite a few patches and holes on them.
Sun Dawu’s wife also felt it was not suitable to go out in public, especially to her man’s workplace at the restaurant.
Plus, Daya started crying, and Sun Dawu’s wife was overwheld, so she had to let Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng help.
Without saying a word, Lu Yuanfeng carried the baked pancake stall and walked towards the previous street corner.
On the way, he glanced at Mu Shuangshuang.
Seeing her frowning, Lu Yuanfeng pondered for a mont and then asked, "Shuangshuang, do you think we can sell all these baked pancakes?"
Mu Shuangshuang sighed, "Probably not! But let’s try, if it sells, then we sell, if not, then never mind!"
"Then why don’t we just listen to Sister-in-law and not sell?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.
If we didn’t co, Little Bamboo’s mother would definitely have to wait, and Daya sees us as hostile.
But we don’t need to put pressure on ourselves, we sell what we can, and when they’re almost done, we’ll pack up the stall."
The two went to the market, and as Mu Shuangshuang had expected.
There were still a few hungry people who bought baked pancakes from Mu Shuangshuang.
It’s like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!
At two cents each, Mu Shuangshuang sold five baked pancakes.
When Sun Dawu’s wife ca out, Mu Shuangshuang handed ten coins to her.
"Sister-in-law, we sold five pancakes just now, here’s the money!" Mu Shuangshuang handed the ten coins to Sun Dawu’s wife.
Sun Dawu’s wife looked at Mu Shuangshuang suspiciously, then glanced at the baked pancake stall.
"Miss Shuangshuang, is the pancake money... not enough?"
