Chapter 87 - A Team Of Crewmen Came

For some reason, they wanted to stay and look at this stall's business.

It was a surprising phenomenon.

Thus, there was a group of people in front of the stall the entire time. Although they didn't buy anything, they discussed with relish that this was the chicken bone porridge that a woman had bought for a little child who refused to leave. Although it was cheap, it was actually very fragrant when cooked. They saw her take out another glutinous rice chicken and guessed how many there were left in the steamer. She had sold another portion of fried dumplings. This merchant was wearing brocade, had a big stomach, and looked really rich.

This popularity was something the Guan family had not expected.

The two sisters-in-law saw that the crowd around the stall had not dispersed and felt slightly relieved.

The Guan family's stall at the docks started selling just like that.

However, because the price was indeed high, ordinary people didn't dare to spend much even if they were greedy. Although people came one after another, their business wasn't too prosperous.

Someone in the crowd gave them advice. When that unpleasant woman who didn't feel good when others had done well saw that there was business going on, her face changed. She pouted and said, "Where did so many fools come from? Are they so rich? They're even willing to spend so much money to buy such food."

After a while, she mumbled, "Look, even if there's business, it's far from the number of steamed buns sold at the side! I knew that this business wouldn't last long. There will definitely be fewer people paying for it. In the end, no one will buy it!"

As she spoke, she had to go home to wash clothes, do housework, and take care of the children. She could not watch any longer and ran away reluctantly with her basket.

As for Mother Rong and the rest, they were already very satisfied and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that although the business didn't seem to be very popular, it wasn't as if no one cared about it.

It seemed that Lulu was right! Her idea worked and they could do business!

After setting up a stall at the docks for more than half a day, even though the Guan family's hearts were burning and they were in a happy mood, their feet were cold from standing.

The air was cold by the docks.

No wonder more people sat down to eat congee later on.

Many people ordered a bowl of fragrant plain porridge.

It was getting late in the afternoon and the cold wind was getting stronger. When Mother Rong and the rest felt a little bleak, a group of people passed through the dense crowd and went to the stall.

It was as if they were going to sit down and eat.

Mother Rong opened her mouth wide. There were so many people and they all wanted to buy their family's food?!

This… This would make money!

Eldest Brother Guan and the rest were also a little shocked. They silently stood a little tighter and looked at the twenty people who had already sat down at the wooden table.

There weren't enough tables to sit at anymore. There were one or two people who didn't mind and stood by the side.

The leader stood in front of the stall. "Is the fragrance from your stall? The smell is too rich and fresh!"

Mother Rong did not know what to say. Although the Shang dynasty was relatively open, there were no restrictions on transport in Yuan City, the people in the mountains were fierce, and there were often no rules, a woman rarely faced so many men.

They were all tall and strong men.

"What do you want to eat?" Fortunately, Mother Rong still served her purpose. She paused and asked.

"What are we eating? Hold on. Our crew has just disembarked from the ship and we're all very hungry. Let the brothers order one by one," the man said boldly.

At this moment, they also knew that this group of men were crewmen who had come down from a large ship that had just reached the docks. The group of people had landed together to find food.

Mother Rong was a little nervous. Was this what Ye Lulu meant by 'it was easy for there to be big business at the docks?!'
