Chapter 55.2: 生意兴隆
‘Thriving and Prosperous Business’
Hearing Qiu Jiu’s words, Fu An was the first to step forward. He looked at others and said, “I’ll say this to you guys, this little boss’s craftsmanship is absolutely amazing, we must eat more.”
As soon as Qiu Jiu’s words came out, Fu An was the first to respond, immediately rushing towards his fellow students and said:
“I’ll tell you guys, the food from this little boss’s house is the most delicious. Today, it’s agreed that I’ll treat you guys, you guys mustn’t be polite!”
As soon as Fu An’s words came out, the surrounding scholars first cheered, then ordered a table of dishes after Qiu Jiu introduced them to the dishes.
“Gongzi, please wait, we will serve you the dishes soon.” Qiu Jiu gave a polite farewell, then left with the orders placed.
After Qiu Jiu had left, the few scholars who had come together began to talk about this new shop, and just as everyone was talking, suddenly someone voiced a question.
“Hey, before he even came, wasn’t Shen He in a hurry? Why don’t we see him talking right now?”
His voice caused the originally excited crowd to stop talking, and they all looked towards Shen He who was sitting in the corner at this time, staring at the decorative plum blossoms in the corner with a sad face.
“Shen, Shen He, what’s wrong with you?” Fu An looked at his friend’s depressed appearance and asked with some disbelief.
Shen He didn’t reply, just turned his head, giving him a leisurely glance, which caused the surrounding crowd to get goosebumps.
When they look at Shen He and want to ask for details, Shen He only turns his head, no longer speaking, as if he did not hear the words of his surroundings.
The remaining several students looked at each other helplessly for a while, not knowing what happened to Shen He, and finally shut up and stopped talking.
Until they ate and drank enough and were about to leave, their group did not figure out the happy Shen He who came here, suddenly as if he received what kind of stimulus, that he became that kind of look as if he was receiving a big blow.

Qiu Jiu took the ordered menu and went to the back kitchen, ready to hand it over to Chen Xing who was in charge of preparing the meal, only to go in and find that there was an extra handy old woman inside. Looking closely, he realized that he knew this granny, this person was Granny Sun, who used to help Chen Xing from time to time.
Perhaps seeing the surprise on Qiu Jiu’s face was too obvious, Granny Sun smiled at him and took the initiative to explain why she was here, “I thought that Chen Xing is opening a shop today, so he must need a lot of help, so I brought my grandson over to help too.”
As soon as Granny Sun’s words fell, she directly placed the plate of dishes in her hand into the tray next to her, handing it to Qiu Jiu along with the two plates of dishes that were originally on top of it, as well as a bottle of exquisite wine, and whispered softly, “This is the dish that the guests at that table just asked for.”
“Hn.” Qiu Jiu nodded, carried that tray and went out.
When Qiu Jiu left, Granny Sun picked up the menu she had just received again and handed it to Chen Xing who was still busy, conveniently making the next soup.
Chen Xing took the menu handed over by Granny Sun, looking at her busy appearance, he said with some embarrassment, “Granny, thank you for (troubling you) this time.”
Granny Sun just smiled lovingly at him, the expression on her face was gentle, “It’s not a bother, moreover you’ve helped me more. If you hadn’t given me those recipes, I’m afraid that my family would have been in dire straits until now, and could only barely maintain a subsistence level (dress warmly and eat one’s fill; have adequate food and clothing). If not, it would not be like now, it doesn’t matter if the stalls are closed for a day.”
Granny Sun’s tone was very relaxed, but only she herself knew that what she said was true. She used to not be very good at making wontons, so the wontons she made could only barely make ends meet. But ever since Chen Xing gave her the recipe, her family’s business was getting better day the day, and she believed that if she did it for a while longer, her family would be able to rent a shop like Chen Xing.
