Lin Mai immediately retorted: "Your son bullied my Doudou twice in less than two hours, and he refused to listen to me when I tried to reason with him. Of course I can only complain to his father!
Your son was beaten by your man, and you felt bad for me. My Doudou was beaten by your son until his back was bruised, so I didn’t feel bad for you?
I didn't go to your family to pay for the medical expenses because it was out of consideration for the people in the same village, but you actually started to prosecute me!
Is it because you are fatter than others, so your face is bigger than others?"
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Lin Mai always had a friendly face when he saw everyone in the village, and he always smiled when doing business.
Dabao's mother always thought that she had a good temper and could flatten and round things at will, but she didn't expect that she was so sharp-tongued that she was speechless.
When we arrived at the pier, everyone took their seats.
Years ago, Linmai was the first to set up a stall at the pier, so he had the best position.
But she hasn't come to set up the stall for half a month, and the spot has been taken by someone else. This person is Dabao's mother.
Dabao's mother glanced at Lin Mai provocatively, and saw that she didn't even fart, so the bad breath that had been brewing in her heart just now dissipated.
There are also rules for setting up stalls. If you set up stalls every day, generally speaking, no one will take your spot.
But if you don't show up for a long time, it's normal for someone to take your place.
If Lin Mai argued with Dabao's mother over this matter, it would appear that she was ignoring her, so she remained silent.
With Doudou's help, Lin Mai quickly set up a stall two stalls away from Dabao's mom, lit the stove, and started rolling out dumpling wrappers on the table.
She was very fast. She rolled out a lot of dumpling wrappers in less than a quarter of an hour, and then started making dumplings quickly.
While she was busy, other vendors were also busy nervously, and no one looked at the other.
Because the first ferry is about to arrive at the pier, everyone wants to grab the business from this group of passengers.
It's not even half past six, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. The first batch of passengers coming off the ferry are the first wave of customers for these small vendors today.
If you want to sell well, you have to make good preparations. Don't be in a hurry and be unable to supply when customers come.
Customers will not wait for you. They will take the first ferry just to rush for time. If you are not ready, they will eat other people's food.
The vendors selling fried food were already frying, and the air was filled with the delicious aroma of oil.
The porridge seller has already cooked it at home. Now it is just heated, and the aroma of rice is still filling the air.
Although the seller of hot dry noodles does not need to cook the hot dry noodles now, he has already put the seasonings in many empty bowls. When the customers come, he can just cook the noodles and mix them, which can save a lot of time.
Lin Mai, mother and daughter, went out with empty stomachs.
Lin Mai could bear the smell of various foods wafting in the air, but Doudou couldn't help it. She felt even hungrier and looked eagerly at Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law, Du Juan, frying fried dough sticks next to her.
When Lin Mai saw this, he gave her 15 cents and asked her to buy a fried dough stick with Du Juan to fill her belly.
Du Juan was embarrassed to accept Doudou's money and gave her a hot fried dough stick. She smiled and said to Lin Mai, "It's just a fried dough stick. I'm afraid I can't afford it and I have to pay for it!"
Lin Mai was busy and said to her: "It's not that you can't afford it, but I can afford it too."
When Dujuan saw what she said, she stopped being pretentious and accepted the money Doudou handed her.
When Doudou got the fried dough sticks, he didn't eat them immediately. Instead, he asked Lin Mai to eat them first.
Lin Mai shook his head: "You can eat it yourself, mom is not hungry."
But Doudou insisted that she take a bite, otherwise she would not eat.
Lin Mai had no choice but to take a bite, and Doudou started to eat the fried dough sticks sweetly.
Du Juan praised: "Your Doudou is really sensible!"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Otherwise, how can we say that daughters are parents' little cotton-padded jackets?"
Doudou became more and more well-behaved after being praised.
Before the first ferry docked, Lin Mai cooked some dumplings for Doudou and let her eat them with fried dough sticks to keep her body warm.
After half past six, the first ferry entered the pier, and the originally empty and cold pier became noisy because of the first batch of passengers.
The vendors all lost no time in shouting.
Lin Mai didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. In his previous life, he didn't need to shout when setting up a stall to sell snacks.
Doudou had already finished eating the fried dough sticks and dumplings, and washed the bowl himself in the bucket he brought.
Seeing other vendors shouting, she stood next to her stall and shouted: "They are selling dumplings. They are delicious dumplings. Come and buy them right away."
Some customers heard her cute milky voice and asked with a smile: "Do you sell dumplings?"
"Yeah!" The little cute baby nodded vigorously and said in a loud voice, "The dumplings made by my mother are delicious!"
The customer who wanted to eat dumplings came over.
Anyway, it’s not about eating someone else’s dumplings. This little guy is so cute, so just eat her dumplings.
Among the dozens of stalls, many selling breakfast are the same, but there is only one selling dumplings, Dabao Ma.
She deliberately chose to sell dumplings because she didn't want to have competitors and it would be easier to do business, but she didn't expect that Lin Mai also sold dumplings.
Unexpectedly, Doudou shouted away many customers with just a few shouts, and his face was as angry as pig liver.
Those customers asked Lin Mai how to sell her dumplings.
Lin Mai smiled and replied: "Twenty-five cents a bowl, no food stamps, sixteen per bowl, but you have to bring your own bowls and chopsticks for eighteen."
There are no disposable dishes and chopsticks in this era.
It is impossible for mobile stalls like Linmai to disinfect the dishes and chopsticks at any time. They can only wash them briefly in the water they bring, which is very unhygienic.
In order to prevent the spread of disease, she introduced a discount for bringing two extra dumplings if you bring your own bowls and chopsticks, which is to encourage diners to bring their own bowls and chopsticks.
Although no diners will bring their own bowls and chopsticks today, there will be some tomorrow.
All dumplings on the market are priced at this price.
Some customers saw that Linmai's dumplings had thin skins, large fillings, and were very affordable, so they bought a bowl and ate it happily.
However, some customers shook their heads and went back to Dabao Ma's stall to buy dumplings. They disliked the fact that Lin Mai's dumplings did not have bone soup.
Doudou is very well-behaved. After a customer finishes a bowl, she quickly takes it and washes it in the bucket.
Some customers would buy Lin Mai's dumplings because they felt sorry for her when they saw her being so sensible.
Although Linmai's dumplings don't have bone soup, the meat fillings are delicious and the dumpling wrappers are chewy. Customers raved about them.
With just this first wave of passengers, she sold more than ten bowls of dumplings, overwhelming Dabao's mother in no time.
Dabao's mother was so angry that she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
Lin Mai knew that Dabao's mother was scolding him, but she didn't mention him by name. If he accepted the scolding, it would appear that his emotional intelligence was too low, so he ignored it.
Moreover, she was busy with business, so she didn't want to deal with Dabao's mother.
Soon, the second ferry docked, and the second wave of business followed.
There are more passengers on this ferry than the first one. After all, it’s almost seven o’clock.
The vendors shouted louder and louder.
Doudou shouted loudly at his stall again, attracting many customers.
At the end of this wave of business, Lin Mai sold a total of thirty-two bowls.
Dabao's mother's face became even worse. She threw pots and bowls in her stall and lost her temper.
Lin Mai liked the way she couldn't kill him and was so angry that she was half dead.
