Chapter 23
"No, don't worry, Chuanchuan, don't be afraid."
Su Eli comforted him, put a candy into his mouth, and stuffed a small bag of candy he bought into his hands, "Go and take my sister to play, my sister will be busy for a while."
Su Chuanchuan was very obedient. After taking the candy, he immediately took Su Nuannuan to the yard to play.
While the two of them were outside, Su Eli checked the entire house. The place where she hid money was very secret and no one came to notice it.
But strangely, the people who came in today did not seem to be looking for money. The room where they slept was not turned up, but the kitchen was obviously searched for something.
She looked around carefully and found that what she lost was actually the spices she was drying.
This is strange. How could a thief come to someone else's house and steal spices without taking valuable things?
She was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, she went to Cao's house next door.
Yun Mingyue happened to walk out of the house and asked her, "Have your aunt found you?"
"My aunt?" Su Eli asked back, "Who has come to find me?"
"Yes." Yun Mingyue said, "When I went out today, I happened to meet your second aunt at the door. When she saw me, she said she was here to find you something, but after that, she turned around and left immediately. Your family is so strange."
Qian has been here.
Su Eli frowned, thanked Yun Mingyue, and returned home.
Qian is not very good to her, she knows that she is, but what does Qian steal spices?
Could it be...
Su Eli suddenly had an idea in her mind, but soon she suppressed the idea again. It should be impossible. Even if Qian and the others were shameless, they would not be able to do that.
After giving up her thoughts, she moved to the blacksmith Uncle Liu. The lock on their door was still old and it was too easy to be opened. She wanted to make a new one and be safer in the future.
In a blink of an eye, the day passed.
The next morning, she still took two small dumplings to the market.
Her fish balls taste good, the two small balls are particularly cute, and the business is as good as ever.
Su Eli was selling fish balls as usual, and suddenly, she saw a few familiar figures.
Su Daqiang and Su Erzhuang were moving things, while Qian and Sun also came over with things in small bags.
When they saw Su Eli, they seemed to have not seen it. Sun Pozi glared at them fiercely.
They also came to the market. Su Eli was stunned. Did her thoughts become true?
Seeing that they put out the things, the things they took were exactly the same as Su Eli's. Su Eli looked over there and saw that Qian also brought out a pot of white fish balls!
They actually made fish balls too?!
Su Eli immediately understood that her idea was correct at all. Yesterday, Qian sneaked into her home to steal the spices for making fish balls and learn to start the fish ball business by herself!
The two little dumplings were also stunned. Su Nuannuan pulled her sleeve, "Sister, why are they selling fish balls too?"
Su Chuanchuan was a little unhappy, "Students are good at learning, they are stealing their sister!"
"Chuanchuan, we are not angry." Su Eli comforted him, "It's okay, we have skills that others can't steal. If they sell, let them buy them."
After all the things were arranged, Mrs. Sun smiled and waited for others to buy them.
However, Su Eli has become famous in the market, and people who come to buy fish balls are still used to finding Su Eli. At the beginning, there was no difference, but gradually, it made the scene where Pomama Sun was particularly deserted.
"Mom, what should I do if I can't sell it?" Su Erzhuang fanned the fire in the stove and asked in a muffled voice. He rolled up his sleeves, "How about we drive that dead girl away?"
"How can I get there?! I didn't see the man who was patrolling the streets?! You are just a elm-minded person, no wonder you can't give birth to a son as smart as Yuanbao!"
Because he couldn't sell the fish balls, Sun was in a bad mood. Su Erzhuang's mouth hit her gun.
Zheng curled his lips slightly and said nothing.
"It's okay, mom, I have a way." Qian raised his little eyes and immediately had an idea.
Qian smiled at Su Eli in a hypocritical way, walked over, and asked in a fake way, "Oh, Li Ya, I didn't see you just now, the business is pretty good. How much does this fish ball cost?"
Before Su Eli could answer, a quick-talking regular customer next to her counted for her, "One five cents in the soup, and one fried six cents a lot. It's a bit expensive, but it's really a bit of a taste!"
"Oh, it's so expensive! I'm not saying you Li Girl, your price is too expensive. Your grandma only sells it for two or three cents each. Why do you sell it twice?"
Qian's yell immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Among the people in line, someone leaned out and asked, "What? It costs only two or three cents?"
"Isn't it!" Qian stretched out his neck and gestured his fingers, "We are all a family, that's her grandmother. Can the taste be different? But it's much cheaper!"
As soon as she said this, some of the people in line were thinking.
Two or three cents per person, that's much cheaper than Su Eli's!
When I heard that it was made with the same craftsmanship, of course it was more cost-effective for two or three cents!
Seeing that many people came over, Sun Pozi quickly shouted, "Fish balls! Fish balls are sold! Authentic Su family fish balls, two vermicelli in the soup, and fried vermicelli! Come and have a look!"
It doesn't matter if this shout is heard. When many people heard that they are so cheap, they immediately went to the Sun Pozi's stall and soon lined up. In front of Su Eli's stall, there were only a few familiar customers who were unwilling to leave.
Qian saw a long queue in front of his stall, and felt so proud. He smiled and squeaked at Su Eli, "Su Yatou, this is impossible. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for selling too expensively. If you cheat people, who will buy it?"
After saying that, she twisted her waist and went back to her stall to help.
And Su Eli just smiled and didn't say a word of retort.
Seeing this, an old customer said to Su Eli: "Miss Su, you are so generous. If you steal the business, you can still be so generous."
Su Eli smiled and wrapped fried fish balls for him, "I really like to eat my stall, and no one can take them away. Besides, I have confidence in my skills and are not afraid of others robbing them."
That being said, after selling these old customers, there was no one in front of her stall. Instead, the stall on Sun Po Zi's side was as popular as possible.
When the two little dumplings saw each other, they were so anxious that they looked at them line up with a hurried look, and pouted, "Sister, what should I do?"
Su Chuanchuan also helped out with an idea, "Sister, why don't we sell two or three cents too?"
This proposal seemed to be effective, but Su Eli shook her head.
