The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 117 Roujiamo

When Li Cuilian heard this, she became so angry that her face turned red. She knew that the old lady was deliberately trying to sow discord, but she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Shen Yan sneered and retorted fearlessly: "Auntie, what are you talking about? We set up a stall to do business, relying on integrity and quality, not the so-called "trick" you mentioned. Every portion of the roujiamo I sell is made with care, and customers buy it because it is delicious."

Her tone was firm, and her words revealed confidence and composure, which caught the old lady off guard.

When Li Cuilian heard Shen Yan's firm response, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with Shen Yan standing on her side, she had the confidence and support.

"Auntie, if you're okay, please leave and don't make trouble here." Li Cui Lian also said to Shen Yan.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old lady could only curl her lips stubbornly and turn away.

Shen Yan and Li Cui Lian looked at each other and could see determination and trust in each other's eyes.

As for this matter, Li Cui Lian did not explain the old lady's intention to Shen Yan during the day. She just left it as it was. Anyway, she knew that Shen Yan was a good person and she was willing to play with her.

At this moment, Li Cui Lian suddenly remembered this matter and felt that she should go to Shen Yan to explain it.

However, on her way to Shen Yan's house, she passed by Mr. Wang's house, and saw that the front of the house was in chaos.

Many people gathered at the door of Wang Lao Da and made trouble. Someone shouted, "Wang Juan, you are really shameless. Why did you go to the paper-cutting master to make trouble for no reason? Now he doesn't want to recruit apprentices from us. It's your problem if your daughter doesn't want to learn. Our children still want to learn paper-cutting!"

"Yes, your daughter Wang Tingting is afraid of hardship and doesn't like to learn this. She thinks that other people's children are the same as yours. If she doesn't want to learn, she shouldn't have paid the money in the first place. Why do you want them to refund the money after you paid it? The master has taught her, but Wang Tingting can't learn it herself. Why should he refund the money? Is the master's time for nothing?!"

"That's right. It's preventing others from learning. Our village has a bad reputation. It's all your fault!"

Wang Juan stood at the door, listening to the accusations of the crowd, feeling powerless and guilty.

Her face turned pale, her hands were clenched tightly together, and she seemed to be trembling a little.

"It's not me...it's not me..." Wang Juan murmured to herself, trying to explain clearly, but her voice was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

She looked at the crowd around her, but couldn't find any voices of support or help.

Over the years, she has been trying hard to give her daughter a better future, but she never expected that this would bring her so much accusations and pressure.

"Wang Juan, what else do you want to quibble about? Your daughter doesn't like to study, that's your family's business, but you have implicated the entire village!"

A middle-aged woman accused sharply.

When Wang Juan heard this, she felt heartbroken.

She felt as if she had been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and no matter how she explained, she could not change the current situation.

"I...I will find a way. I will go find the master and solve this problem."

Wang Juan said this with a trembling voice, but she also knew that this kind of problem could probably not be solved with just a few words.

Seeing Wang Juan's weak reaction, everyone mocked her with even more disdain, and some even raised their voices, causing her ears to tingle.

Wang Juan felt extremely tired and frustrated. In a panic, she wrestled with everyone.

Li Cuilian didn't have time to listen, so she walked through the crowd and went to Shen Yan's house.

When Shen Yan saw that it was Li Cuilian who came, she quickly welcomed her into the house and closed the door.

"Sister Cui Lian, you are finally here. Even if you didn't come, I would have gone to find you." Shen Yan took Li Cui Lian's hand and sat down.

Li Cuilian was a little curious: "Sister Yan, what do you want to see me for?"

Shen Yan thought about it, felt a little uneasy, and finally rubbed his hands.

"Sister Cui Lian, I'm making roujiamo. I just started making it recently and I'm not very skilled. What's more, I don't have any acquaintances. You're the only acquaintance of mine who sells steamed buns."

At this point, Shen Yan got straight to the point: "Making Roujiamo requires a lot of steamed buns, about 150 a day. I want to buy from you. You provide me with the steamed buns, and I pay you, and we can make money together."

Hearing this, Li Cui Lian was flattered.

She had originally wanted to talk about the old lady trying to sow discord between them during the day, but now it was proved that Shen Yan was really good to her and even took her with him when he made money. What a good person.

Shen Yan could actually go to any stall selling steamed buns to purchase goods, but she chose Li Cui Lian because she wanted to make more money for her. Li Cui Lian was very grateful.

So, Li Cuilian agreed immediately: "Okay, Sister Yan, the steamed buns I make are very fragrant and big, I guarantee they won't hold you back."

Shen Yan nodded: "Then, two cents each?"

Li Cuilian retorted: "You want so many, it's considered wholesale, how can I sell it to you at a low price? One penny each, that's it."

Shen Yan didn't expect that Li Cuilian would offer such a low price, and she was very touched.

"Okay, I'll go to your house tomorrow morning to get the steamed buns."

Li Cuilian shook her head: "No need to run, I can just go to the stall and deliver the buns to you. It's much easier. It's on the way anyway, and I have to set up a stall too."

Shen Yan looked at Li Cuilian with gratitude, her heart full of emotion and gratitude. She knew that Li Cuilian's actions were not taken for granted, after all, business transactions are often for the pursuit of maximum benefits, but Li Cuilian chose to base her support on friendship and gave her real support.

"Sister Cui Lian, thank you so much."

Shen Yan said with emotion, "I will definitely work hard to do a good job in the Roujiamo business in the future and live up to your trust in me."

Li Cuilian smiled and patted Shen Yan on the shoulder. "Don't be polite. We are friends. It's only natural for us to help each other."

"Besides, if anyone wants to thank someone, I should be the one to thank you." Li Cuilian knew clearly that she couldn't sell many of her steamed buns, so she just considered it as some pocket money to supplement the family income. Now Shen Yan wanted 150 of them a day, which meant a net profit of more than 100 coins every day. Her life would be better in the future.

The conversation between the two revealed a deep friendship, and the trust and tacit understanding between them became stronger.

The next morning, Li Cuilian came to Shen Yan's roujiamo stall, carrying a basket of fragrant steamed buns. Seeing Shen Yan, she smiled and said, "Sister Yan, today's steamed buns are freshly baked, and they are guaranteed to be even more delicious than yesterday's."

Shen Yan took the steamed bun and smelled the aroma. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, "Great, thank you Sister Cui Lian. I believe today's business will be even better."

The two started a new day of work together, supporting each other, working together, and striving for a common goal.
