The next day, bright and early, three people each carried 20 kilograms of marinated foods and caught the first bus to the Provincial City.

After getting off the bus, Susu led the two straight to the rented courtyard.

“Sister Hong, Xiao Sun, after you finish selling the marinades, come straight here. I’ll clean up the place, just in time to wait for the people coming for the job interview.”

Susu sent Sister Hong to a nearby school, and Xiao Sun to the somewhat chaotic bus station; fortunately, neither place was too far away.

She wasn’t worried about them getting lost; they had passed by these places on their way, and having been out and about for so long, they could simply ask someone with a simple question if needed.

After the two had left, Susu didn’t sit idle; she busied herself while waiting for the two people she had arranged to interview.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

Hearing the knock, Susu hurried to open the door.

What she saw were a young woman and a slightly older woman.

“You’re here for the interview, right? Come in, come in.”

Susu greeted them into the courtyard with a smile and asked, “Did you come here together?”

“No, no, we met at the door,”

the slightly older woman said, waving her hand.

After a brief conversation, Susu learned the basic details about the two women.

The slightly older woman, named Yang Erniu, lived nearby. She was thirty years old, had three kids, with the oldest already in their teens. It was her child who had seen the job posting on the door and called to inquire.

The younger woman was named Huang Ying, who had heard about the job through a casual mention by a relative. She had just gotten married that year. Now that her husband’s family had split their household, and with her husband working at a dairy factory and sharing a dormitory there, she thought of stepping out and finding some work.

Susu nodded; her first impression of them both was rather good.

“Alright, we mainly deal with food here, so hygiene is a must. You can start with a one-month trial. The salary for the trial period is 20 yuan, and after that, it’s 30 yuan per month. If you do well, there’s certainly room for a raise.”

Hearing that there was a salary of 20 yuan in the first month, both women nodded repeatedly.

“Your main tasks would be washing vegetables and preparing marinades. You can go back and think about it.”

Susu looked at Huang Ying and said, “Your home is far away, you can stay here. Your husband can also move in. But there will be two other staff members staying here too, so later on, it will have to be one room for males and one for females.”

After seeing off the two women, Susu, carrying a backpack basket, prepared to go out and sell goods.

“Sir, I wanted to ask, besides the school, is there any other place around here where many people gather?”

Lying leisurely on a rocking chair, the old man glanced at her and lazily asked, “What are you selling? Why do you ask?”

“Sir, I make my own marinated goods and was thinking of giving it a try selling them.”

“Ah, marinated goods, how are you selling them? Are they tasty? If they are good, let me try some.”

…

Bus Station

“Marinated goods, fresh, tasty, and fragrant marinated goods.”

“Don’t miss out as you pass by—”

Whenever someone approached, Xiao Sun hurriedly called out.

Many people, curious, came to take a look and ended up buying some.

“Hey, young man, did you make these yourself? Not bad at all, they’re really quite fragrant.”

A middle-aged man spoke as he paid for a kilogram of meat, “I’ll take some back for the kids to try.”

“Sure thing, take care.”

…

Chunmiao Primary School

Since it wasn’t yet time for school to let out, Wang Hong was selling near the bungalows opposite.

There was a group of aunts and grandmas sitting in a circle nearby with their kids.

“Fragrant marinated goods—”

“Freshly made this morning, buy some to eat with rice at home, it’s tasty and appetizing.”

“Grandma, I want some.”

“Grandma, I want some too.”

Seeing someone enjoying the fragrant braised dishes, the children drooled with envy and all pleaded with their grandmas to let them have some too.

Many old ladies couldn’t withstand the kids’ nagging and ended up buying each half a pound to one pound.

“Grandma doesn’t have money on me, next time, next time.”

“Wow~ Grandma’s lying, Grandma’s lying.”

The old lady, troubled by her granddaughter’s crying, hurriedly shouted to Wang Hong, “Girl selling braised food, wait a moment and don’t go yet. I’ll go home and get some money.”

“Sure Auntie, no rush, take your time.”

By the time Susu had not gone far, a basket of braised food had been sold completely nearby.

She didn’t go directly home, but rather to a nearby vegetable market to buy some vegetables and meat, and even arranged daily deliveries with the shop owner.

On her way home, Susu couldn’t help but laugh as she remembered the shop owner’s suspicious gaze.

If it hadn’t been for someone recognizing her coincidentally, the wife of Lu Gong’an from the Second Road Police Station, that shop owner might have kicked her out.

“Hey, isn’t that Lu Gong’an’s wife? I thought you went back to your hometown?”

“Did you and your husband make up? What about the child? Have you sorted things out?”

Susu forced a laugh, “…”

When Susu reached home, she saw two people at the door.

“Sold out?”

Wang Hong and Xiao Sun nodded happily, both excitedly sharing their experiences of the day.

If they didn’t have to officially start their braised food business the next day, both were eager to go out again right away.

Seeing their slightly regretful expressions, Susu couldn’t help but laugh.

The three of them weren’t idle either; Susu cooked lunch in the kitchen—braised pork ribs, cucumber salad, dry-fried green beans, minced meat with eggplant, and a pot of round, plump white rice.

Wang Hong and Xiao Sun busied themselves cleaning the house, dusting, and sweeping until noon.

“Brother-in-law.”

Xiao Sun hurriedly yelled inside, “Sister Su, my brother-in-law is back.”

Susu popped her head out and, seeing the tall figure in the courtyard, teased, “Lu Gong’an sure has perfect timing.”

Seeing his wife drenched in sweat, the man rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, “Wife, what else needs to be done? Let me do it.”

“Alright, just bring in the dishes.”

Susu wasted no time in directing her husband around.

Wang Hong, watching the young couple, smiled without saying a word and quietly brought in the cutlery.

“Did you come straight here or did you go home first?”

“I didn’t go back, I figured you’d come straight here and wouldn’t have time to go home.”

As they were speaking, the man’s hands weren’t idle, constantly serving his wife more meat and vegetables.

Looking at a bowl piled up like a small mountain in just a few seconds, Susu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and playfully glared at him.

“Just eat yours, are you trying to make me burst?”

“Eat more, you need to build strength.”

Both Wang Hong and Xiao Sun looked at each other and smiled, saying in chorus.

Wang Hong teased, “Susu, Lu Gong’an is really worried about you.”

“Yes, my brother-in-law really cares about you, Sister Su.”

With her cheeks flushed from their teasing, Susu playfully pinched her husband’s side in annoyance, “It’s all your fault.”

Lu Xiaoting felt a pain on his side and raised his eyebrow.

“Yeah, my bad.”
