Aqiu came to ask them to eat just as they finished speaking.
There are many people in the family now, so they have to prepare dinner separately. Only Xiao Wu, who is in charge of the braised egg shop, A Qiu, who is in charge of the rice noodle shop, and Liangzi and Ye Zi from the adjacent shop eat together with them.
Now there are more shops, and they are all snack shops. Su Mu'er gives each shop to one person to manage. Yuan Min distributes copper coins to each shop for change every morning, and Yuan Min goes to collect the accounts at night.
When Doudou heard that he was about to eat, he immediately got off the stool and ran to Aqiu on his short legs, looking up at her.
"Aunt Aqiu, do you have any meat tonight?"
Ah Qiu raised her hand and pinched his chubby little face, "I have to ask your Uncle Xiao Wu about this. He only told me to tell you to eat, but he didn't tell me what to eat."
"Why does Uncle Xiao Wu cook? Shouldn't women cook?"
Doudou stared with a pair of big watery eyes, full of confusion.
Ah Qiu nuzzled her nose towards him,
"You brat, why do you need women to cook? Your mother said that men and women should be equal, and we women also work. Besides, your uncle Xiao Wu's cooking is delicious."
"Doudou, why are there so many questions? Let's go eat."
After Su Mu'er finished speaking, she led the way, A Qiu held Doudou's little hand, and Yuan Min and Qing'er followed closely behind.
On the eighth day of June, Doudou Snack Street officially opens.
Su Muer added all the snacks she could think of and had eaten.
Doudou stinky tofu has the strongest smell in the whole street. The girls are unwilling to make it, so they have to leave this job to Liangzi.
Today, all the people gathered at the entrance of the alley, which was filled with firecrackers and onlookers.
Su Muer specially hung a plaque saying "Doudou Snack Street" right above the entrance of the alley.
She didn't invite anyone to the opening this time, nor did she send an invitation to anyone. Not even anyone from Sujiazhuang came. She just simply set off two firecrackers.
Some people in the crowd began to talk about this snack street.
"What are these things?"
"I don't know, what are rice noodles?"
"What is rice rolls?"
"Also, what's that man's casserole?"
"..."
After the firecrackers were hung, Su Muer stood in front of the crowd and raised her arms and shouted,
"Today is the first day of business at Doudou Snack Street. Everything is half price. Everyone is welcome to come in and taste it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone started to look at each other. Although they were all curious about these strange names, some people still decided to try them.
Su Degong, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but grit his teeth. He really didn't expect that Su Sanya would come up with so many weird foods. It seemed that Ah Zi had to come forward to do it.
Thinking of this, he walked home angrily.
Although Azi became the second wife of the Su family, her life was not easy.
At this time, the eldest lady was sitting on the recliner, with her feet raised high, eating tea leisurely, and her eyes occasionally glanced at Ah Zi who was squatting aside.
"Azi, as a sister, I shouldn't lecture you, but you really don't understand the rules. Why do you always secretly take things from your parents' house?"
Azi raised her eyes that were already red from crying and looked at her with her lips pursed, "I didn't. What I brought was stuff from my own house. Besides, it was only a few boxes of cakes. Those were given to me by the master."
"Pa!" She slammed the table.
"The master gave it to you? Isn't that something from the Su family? If the Su family is like you, it will be emptied by you sooner or later."
She glared at Ah Zi angrily. She had disliked her since she entered the house. Today, while the master was away, she would teach her a lesson.
Originally, Su Degong would only go out in the morning and come back at night, so she could take care of Ah Zi throughout the whole day.
But something unexpected happened today. Su Degong came back in a hurry not long after he left.
As soon as he walked into the hall, when he saw Ah Zi kneeling on the ground, his brows could not help but tighten.
"What are you doing?"
When Mrs. Su saw him coming back, she hurriedly took back her raised feet, curled her lips with contempt,
"Azi is ignorant and brings things to her parents' house. I will teach her a lesson."
Azi lowered her head and pursed her lips in silence.
Ever since she married into the Su family, she had been regretting it. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, and although she was well fed and clothed warmly, Mrs. Su always regarded her as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her side. Such a life was not as comfortable as the life she lived as a girl.
She suddenly missed the young lady a little. When the eldest lady punished her, she also hated herself, so she didn't make too many excuses.
Su Degong stepped forward to help her up and glared at the eldest lady,
"I told you not to bully her, why didn't you listen?"
Mrs. Su stared back at him, "What's wrong? I still have the final say in this family. If she makes a mistake, she should be punished."
"If you punish me, you will know the punishment. If you punish Ah Zi in the future, be careful that I will divorce you." Su Degong said as he helped Ah Zi and walked towards her room.
Mrs. Su shouted angrily behind him, "How dare you? Give me a try? I won't let my natal brother take your life."
Mrs. Su's natal brother was a butcher who specialized in killing pigs. He was tough and ruthless, which was why Su Degong was afraid of her.
Ah Zi didn't say anything. As soon as she walked out of the hall door, Su Degong picked her up and held her in his arms.
"Madam, are you okay? This damn woman, I will take care of her when I get the chance."
He whispered softly as he walked.
Azi pursed her lips with tears in her eyes and shook her head, "It's okay, why did you come back so early today?"
"I miss you." He said as he kicked open the door to her room, then closed it again with his back foot, hugged her and went straight to the bed.
"Master, it's broad daylight..." Seeing that he was about to take action, Ah Zi hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"That damn woman has been having trouble these past two days. She won't let me come to your place. She's been pestering me every night. It's annoying me to death. I've been thinking about you every night. As soon as I entered the house, I left you alone to guard the empty room. I'm like
I really can’t bear it in my heart.”
Azi pursed her lips and said nothing. She hoped that he would never come here, and that he would just take care of her food, housing, and expenses, and that he should give her a good amount of monthly money.
But now that he is here, she has to cater to him. Who asked her parents to accept his bride price of one hundred taels?
This one hundred taels of bride price was not a small amount. A woman of her age could get a maximum of thirty taels of bride price when marrying. For this reason, she felt that Su Degong still cared about it.
The fact is also true. Su Degong has long been tired of the evil wife at home. If she hadn't stopped her repeatedly, he would have married a second wife long ago. Why would he have to use money to entertain women in the courtyard to have fun secretly?
This time Azi helped him, and the fat woman didn't stop her. This also allowed him to marry his second wife as he wished. How could he not be extremely happy about this?
