Chai Xiaoer showed a silly smile, quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of leftover rice, and ran out of the servant's room happily.

"Steward Sun, are you looking for me?"

Butler Sun threw him a tael of silver and said, "You did a good job this time. I'll reward you from above."

Chai Xiaoer got the silver and took a bite out of reflex: "Is it true?!"

Butler Sun didn't think it was strange when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, the old man personally rewarded me."

"The old man really likes it?!"

"Yeah." Butler Sun told Chai Xiaoer what happened at the dinner table.

After Mr. Sun tasted braised pork, he was immediately attracted by its delicious taste.

But soon, he realized: "This smell... is a bit too much."

He looked at Butler Sun and asked when he bought this thing.

Butler Sun answered honestly, saying that it had been a while since he bought it, because it was a little cold and the house was getting warm again.

"No wonder, I said this tastes a bit over-stewed." Mr. Sun said with a hint of regret, "Next time I buy it when it's still hot, don't heat it up in the pot. Once this thing is reheated, the taste will be so bad."

Something is wrong..."

He spoke so eloquently, as if he had eaten it many times.

Because there was braised pork as a base, Mr. Sun also looked forward to the other two items.

"What's this?"

"This meaty tofu dumpling is said to have a very strong meaty flavor, but in fact there is not much meat in it. The amazing thing about it is that it has no meat, but it tastes almost like meat..." What Butler Sun didn't say was,

It is because of this that these meatballs are extremely cheap and have become a hot-seller at other stalls.

Two of them cost a penny, just a bowl, and ten meatballs cost only five cents, which is much cheaper than a piece of braised pork.

Of course, to the Sun family, this little money is nothing.

Mr. Sun listened with great interest.

He picked up a piece of meatball and stuffed it into his mouth: "Huh?"

No matter in terms of texture or taste, it really does resemble meat as Butler Sun said.

I can’t say that braised pork is not as delicious as braised pork. They are two completely different flavors. I can only say which one I like more.

"It really looks like meat!" Mr. Sun said, "This is good. I'll buy more for your eldest lady. She talks about losing weight every day, and girls are very taboo. It's not easy to gain weight if you eat this."

Butler Sun: "..."

——Old man, the eldest lady is still sitting here.

Sitting here, Miss Sun, who is a little overweight: "..."

——Ah, grandpa, is there anyone like you who exposes others’ shortcomings?

——I just like eating meat, what’s wrong?

But when she heard about the meaty tofu dumplings, Miss Sun was still a little excited.

——Isn’t it amazing that you can taste the taste of meat, but it’s not meat?

——If you eat this in the future, you won’t have to worry about gaining weight anymore, right?

Of course, Mr. Sun didn't forget to mention that these meaty tofu dumplings were just like braised pork. They were overcooked and tasted a bit old.

He looked at the last set of gray strips: "What is this?"

"Old man, this is sweet potato flour. I heard it is made from a new ingredient. It is similar to noodles, but it tastes completely different from noodles. It is smooth, tender and chewy..."

What kind of noodles, Master Sun, have you ever tried it?

But this was the first time he heard of chewy "powder".

I picked up a chopstick and the result...

Broken!

It breaks as soon as you pinch it, but it's still chewy?

Mr. Sun was immediately suspicious. He took a spoon to help, and then he successfully stuffed a mouthful into his mouth.

The taste is smooth and tender, which is true.

There is a sour taste in the mouth, and there is also a burning sensation that sets your mouth on fire, which is very exciting.

Mr. Sun suddenly knew: This has been overcooked again!

Anyone who has eaten sweet potato flour knows that if it is not put aside after being cooked in the pot, it will become "mushy" as soon as it is placed.

Just like noodles, they won't taste as good if they are "mushy".

When Mr. Sun encountered this situation, he was naturally not in the mood to eat. He directly asked Butler Sun: "Where did you buy this? I'll eat it at the stall."

So, Butler Sun asked someone to call Xiaoer Chai over.

He said to Chai Xiaoer: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the old man's favor. Chai Xiaoer, you have to behave well and seize the opportunity."

When Chai Xiaoer heard this, he thought that Butler Sun was coveting the reward in his hand. Although he felt a little distressed, he still put the money in his hand: "Look what Uncle Butler said, isn't this opportunity for me also taken care of by you?

Without your help, how would I have such a chance? This is my filial piety to you, you can drink with me..."

Butler Sun didn't answer: "What are you doing? I can't take this money. This is the old man's reward for you..."

"When the old man rewards the younger ones, isn't that why he rewards you? Oh, Uncle Butler, why are you so polite to the younger ones? Just accept it."

"No, you should keep it yourself. Later you will have to guide the old man to eat at someone else's stall. You can't let the old man pay for this money, right? You have the money in your hands, and you will have the most money by then.

Opportunity to perform.”

"What?! The old man asked the little one...the little one to lead the way?!" Chai Xiaoer was surprised.

He only thought it was a "reward", but he actually got a chance to "show his face"?

If he could make his master remember his name, would he still be short of work in the future?

If you have work to do, wouldn't there be plenty of rewards?

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed to me. I wished I could give it to Butler Sun, thank him one sentence after another, and recognize him as my "godfather" on the spot.

Butler Sun had a smile on his face and did not refuse at all.

"I'm not wrong about you. You are really smart. You will definitely have more opportunities to stand out in the future." He smiled, a little more sincerely, and pointed out Mr. Chai Xiaoer's preferences with concern, asking him to pay attention to it when the time comes.

On the other side, the stall where Brother Bao and others were sitting gradually became deserted.

Although their sweet potato noodles and noodles are delicious, how many people are willing to spend money to eat them every day at such a price?

No, after the morning business ended, there were fewer customers at noon.

A big man took inventory of the things on the stall and felt a little worried: "Brother Bao, what should I do? Most of the braised pork has not been sold."

"How come no one buys it?" Another person wondered, "It's quite delicious."

Because there was no one, Jiang Yousheng, who had talked so much before, also showed a sad face and said: "It's delicious, but it's too expensive. It only costs three cents to buy a piece of meat. Most people are reluctant to part with it. They add a few cents themselves."

, you can even buy half a catty of meat.”

"Well... what should we do? This braised pork has not been cooked properly. If we can't sell it today, the taste will be bad if we sell it tomorrow. If the taste is bad, the sign will be ruined!"

"Anjiu Town is still too small. If it were a bigger town next door and people had money, where would it be like now?"

…

The speaker was unintentional, but Brother Bao was somewhat moved.

——The town next door?

The town next door is called Yikang Town. That town is much larger than Anjiu Town. Any street is twice as big as this one.
