"Sixty-six cars is too many, spanning several hundred meters in a line. I wonder what Yangzi is thinking?"
"Didn't he say he wanted to use this opportunity for some advertising? It also makes the wedding look grand."
"Mm, it's to bring you honor," Lin Ziqi said with a hint of sourness.
"What honor? It's still the same, three meals a day, can't miss one."
"Why are you always thinking about food? You'll turn into a pig if you eat any more."
"Even as a pig, I'd be a happy one.
Ziqi, hurry up. Yangzi is right, that fat guy isn't bad either.
After all, he has so many women around him, there's no point in you trying to squeeze in."
"Today is your big day. Never mind me. Sister, how much longer until your makeup is done?"
Lin Ziqi asked a young girl wearing glasses.
"Almost done."
"Shall we go out for something to eat first? Two hours can pass quickly.
Let Guo Zong and the others prepare a few more performances, otherwise, they won't be let in."
Lin Ziqi said to a few bridesmaids.
"Right. He needs to know that goddesses aren't that easily married off."
Xu Lili chimed in.
"Xiao Li, why isn't your younger brother back?"
"I don't know what's going on. My mom said she told my brother, and he promised to come back for my wedding."
"Then who will escort you out when you leave?"
"My uncle's sons are also here to help."
"That works. We'll go out for something to eat first and bring something back for you later."
Lin Ziqi said, signaling to a few bridesmaids to go out for breakfast.
"Qiqi, is something going to happen to Xiao Zong's brother?"
As they walked out the door, Xu Lili asked.
"Don't say unlucky things. Maybe he just missed the car.
You drive, and we'll find a place in town to eat something simple."
Lin Ziqi said to Xu Lili.
"What do you want to eat? How about pork soup?
When we came yesterday, I heard they said the pork soup here is good."
"Pork soup? How do you eat that? It's so greasy."
"Let's try it. Have you had it before?"
"No. Just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite.
Lamb soup is more like it, but I'll pass on this pork soup."
"Let's go take a look first, is there anything else to eat?"
Xu Lili drove quickly, just like her personality.
"Look over there," Xu Lili pointed outside the car at a breakfast stall.
There were about a dozen people eating breakfast.
The words "Xu Family Pork Soup" were exceptionally striking.
"Wow, this is run by your family?" Lin Ziqi joked with a smile.
"There are quite a few people. Shall we go down and try it?" Xu Lili said.
"It seems you won't be satisfied today if you don't get to eat this pork soup?"
"Hehe, it's just that I've never tried it."
"Then shall we go try it?" Lin Ziqi looked at the other bridesmaids.
"Sure. Lili's mouth is watering so much she could almost drip on the steering wheel," the bridesmaids said with a laugh.
"Boss, how much is this pork soup?" Lin Ziqi walked forward and asked.
"Ten yuan a bowl. Flatbread is separate."
"What's in it?"
"Pig head meat, liver, lungs, and intestines."
"We don't want the liver, lungs, and intestines, just the pig head meat. How much is that?"
"Fifteen a bowl. You can have as much soup as you want."
"Then give us eight bowls of pig head meat, without liver, lungs, or intestines," Lin Ziqi said.
"Boss, I want the ten yuan a bowl ones," Xu Lili said.
"Then give us seven bowls of the fifteen yuan ones, and one bowl of the ten yuan ones."
"Okay, if you want flatbread, go wait over there to get it."
The boss gestured to a flatbread stall nearby.
"I'll go get it. Will two flatbreads per person be enough?" Xu Lili asked.
"Get twenty. We can take the leftovers if there are any. Xiao Li and the others haven't eaten yet."
"Alright." Xu Lili turned to join the queue for the flatbread.
The business here was truly booming, and eight of them occupied two tables.
There was a constant stream of people at the other tables; as soon as one group finished and left, another would take their seats.
"Boss, how many bowls do you sell in a day?" Lin Ziqi asked.
"Around a thousand bowls."
"So many? Just in the morning?"
"No, until noon. We usually open at five in the morning and sell until one or two in the afternoon."
"There are quite a few people eating breakfast here in the morning too?"
"In the morning, it's usually about five to six hundred bowls. By around nine o'clock, there are basically no people left.
The next wave usually arrives around eleven o'clock."
"Do you only sell pig heads and offal?"
"Pretty much. We have good meat too, but it's not as tasty as this offal.
That meat is a bit fatty and tough. The soup boiled from it is usable, but the texture of the meat is not as good as this pig head meat and offal."
"How many people do you need here?"
"Three or four people are enough. I can't manage alone.
I need to find two people to help clean up the bowls and chopsticks."
"Boss, how much is the net profit per day?"
"This is just earning from hard work, not much profit," the boss said with a simple smile.
Lin Ziqi couldn't get any more information, so she stopped asking, as it was their business secret.
However, if, as the boss said, they sold a thousand bowls a day at ten yuan each, that would be ten thousand. After deducting wages and costs, seven to eight thousand yuan a day was a sure thing.
Earning over two hundred thousand a month would be easy.
When Lin Ziqi mentioned this, the bridesmaids were a little astonished. They worked hard and could barely earn a hundred thousand.
They never expected a pork soup stall to be so profitable.
"What? Envious? Or should I ask the boss if he has any unmarried sons?" Lin Ziqi joked.
"I doubt anyone would want to marry into this area.
Although our base salary is low, our commissions are high.
Combined with the year-end bonus, we don't earn less than this shop," Xu Lili said.
"That's for you, you vixen. Don't the other sisters here earn only about a hundred thousand a month?"
Lin Ziqi asked the others.
"If we include the quarterly champion bonus, we can get close to that amount,"
said a girl with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
"That's not bad either. If you win the annual championship like Lili, you'll earn more than this shop."
"It only happens once a year," Xu Lili said.
"I heard that those who play with jade with Guo Zong earn tens of millions to hundreds of millions.
Tell me, how can they spend so much money?"
"Money isn't that easy to earn.
Guo Zong's jade wasn't picked up from the wind either; he selects it piece by piece from Myanmar and Ruili.
He also has his losses." Lin Ziqi said.
"Qiqi, did you earn anything by following him?"
"Yangzi gave each of us a piece of jade. That was the only time.
This time, he gave Lili a priceless Imperial Green glass jade," Lin Ziqi said with envy.
"I heard that little Guo Zong is your first love. Why don't you make an effort to win him over?"
"There are too many beautiful women around him. He doesn't even look at me," Lin Ziqi said with a hint of wistful disappointment.
"No man is unfaithful. What you can't have is always the best. You make an effort, and you'll surely succeed."
"I'm quite content now. I'll leave the rest.
This pork soup is quite good, and the meat is also good, rich but not greasy."
Lin Ziqi changed the subject promptly.
