Chapter 23

"No, don't worry, Chuanchuan, don't be afraid."

Su Eli comforted him, put a candy into his mouth, and stuffed the small bag of candy she bought into his hand, "Go and play with my sister. My sister will be busy for a while."

Su Chuanchuan was very obedient. After taking the candy, he immediately took Su Nuannuan to play in the yard.

While the two of them were outside, Su Eli checked the entire house. The place where she hid the money was very secret, and no one who came found it.

But the strange thing is that the people who came in today didn't seem to intend to change the money. The room where they slept was not disturbed much, but the kitchen room, which had obviously been rummaged through.

She looked around carefully and found that the missing thing turned out to be the spices she was drying.

This is strange. How could a thief come to someone else's house and steal spices instead of taking valuables?

She was a little strange, so after thinking about it, she went to Cao's house next door.

Yun Mingyue just walked out of the house and asked her, "Has your aunt found you?"

"My aunt?" Su Eli asked, "Has anyone come to see 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 came to see you for something, but after saying that, she immediately turned around and left. Your family is really

strangeness."

Mr. Qian has been here.

Su Eli frowned, thanked Yun Mingyue, and returned home.

She knew that Qian didn't treat her well, but why did Qian come to steal spices?

Could it be that……

Su Eli suddenly had an idea in her mind, but she quickly suppressed it. It shouldn't be possible. No matter how shameless Qian and the others were, it shouldn't be possible for them to do that.

After giving up the idea, she turned to the blacksmith Uncle Liu. The lock on their door was still old and it was too easy to be broken. She wanted to make a new one, which would be safer in the future.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed.

Early the next morning, she took two small dumplings to the market as usual.

Her fish balls taste good, the two dumplings are particularly cute, and business is as good as ever.

Su Eli was selling fish balls as usual. Suddenly, she saw a few familiar figures.

Su Daqiang and Su Erzhuang were carrying things, while Qian and Mrs. Sun also came over carrying things in large and small packages.

When they saw Su Eli, they acted as if they hadn't seen her, and Mrs. Sun gave them a fierce look.

Why did they come to the market? Su Eli was stunned, could her idea come true?

Watching them lay out the things one by one, the things they brought were exactly the same as Su Eli's. Su Eli looked over and saw Qian also bringing out a pot of raw fish balls!

They actually made fish balls too?!

Su Eli immediately understood that her idea was correct. Yesterday Qian secretly entered her home in order to steal the spices for making fish balls and learn how to start a fish ball business on her own!

The two little dumplings were also stunned. Su Nuannuan tugged on her sleeves and said, "Sister, grandma, why are they also selling fish balls?"

Su Chuanchuan was a little unhappy, "They are good learners, they secretly imitate their sister!"

"Chuanchuan, let's not be angry." Su Eli comforted him, "It's okay. We have skills that others can't steal. If they sell it, let them buy it."

After all the things were laid out, Grandma Sun was smiling and waiting for others to come and buy them.

However, Su'erli has become well-known in the market, and people who come to buy fish balls are still accustomed to looking for Su'erli. At first, there was no difference, but gradually, it made Grandma Sun's place feel particularly deserted.

"Mom, what should I do if I can't sell it?" Su Erzhuang asked angrily, fanning the fire in the stove. He rolled up his sleeves, "How about we get rid of that damn girl?"

"How to rush?! Didn't you see the policeman patrolling the streets?! You are just a fool. No wonder you can't give birth to a son as smart as Yuan Bao!"

Sun was already in a bad mood because she couldn't sell fish balls, so Su Erzhuang's opening hit her right in the face.

Mrs. Zheng curled her lips slightly but said nothing.

"It's okay, Mom, I have an idea." Qian's eyes widened and she immediately had an idea.

Mr. Qian smiled hypocritically at Su Eli, walked over, and asked in a pretentious manner, "Hey, Li girl, I didn't see you just now. Business is very good. How much does one of your fish balls cost?"

Before Su Eli could answer, a quick-tongued regular customer counted for her, "The soup is five cents each, and the deep-fried one is six cents. It's a bit expensive, but the taste is incredible!"

"Oh, it's so expensive! I'm not telling you, you pear girl, your price is too expensive. Your grandma only sells it for two or three cents each. Why do you sell it for double the price?"

Qian's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Among the people waiting in line, someone poked his head out and asked, "What? It only cost two or three pennies?"

"Isn't it!" Ms. Qian stretched her neck and gestured with her fingers, "They are made with the same recipe. We are all a family. That's her grandma. How can the taste be different? But it's much cheaper!"

When she said this, some of the people waiting in line became interested.

At two or three cents each, it’s much cheaper than the one from Su’erli!

After hearing that they are made with the same craftsmanship, of course the two or three pennies one is more cost-effective!

Seeing that many people were looking over, Mrs. Sun quickly raised her voice and shouted, "Fishballs! We sell fishballs! Authentic Su family fishballs, two buns in the soup and three buns fried! Come and have a look!"

It didn't matter. As soon as they heard how cheap it was, many people immediately went to Granny Sun's stall and quickly formed a long queue. However, there were only a few people left in front of Su'eri's stall. Regular customers who are willing to leave.

Seeing the long queue in front of her stall, Mrs. Qian felt extremely proud. She smiled and winked at Su Eli, "Girl Su, there is nothing you can do about this. If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for selling it." It’s too expensive. If you’re so deceptive, who will buy it?”

After saying that, she twisted her waist and went back to her stall to help.

But Su Eli just smiled and didn't say a word in reply.

Seeing this, an old regular customer said to Su Eli: "Miss Su, you are so generous, how can you be so generous when someone steals your business?"

Su Eli wrapped the fried fish balls for him with a smile, "If you really love eating from my stall, no one else can take it away. Besides, I have confidence in my craftsmanship and I am not afraid of others snatching it."

Having said that, after selling out these few regular customers, there was no one in front of her stall. On the contrary, Mrs. Sun's stall was as prosperous as it was.

The two little dumplings were extremely anxious when they met. Su Nuannuan watched them queuing up eagerly, pouting, "Sister, what should I do?"

Su Chuanchuan also helped with ideas, "Sister, how about we sell it for two or three cents?"
