233 Encouraging Mother Jian
The next day, Mother Jian went to Mother Liu’s shop. Her shop was on a small street in Shifeng County, and there were very few people. The shops next to it did not sell food, but Mother Liu’s shop was very popular.
The fact that she cooked well was one reason. More importantly, she put chili sauce in her dishes. Now, besides Mother Jian’s shop, she was the only one who had this spicy taste in her dishes, and the dishes of Mother Jian’s shop were too expensive. Mother Liu’s food was relatively cheap, so many people liked to come to her place to eat.
She was too busy to do it alone, so she even invited a few workers.
Seeing Mother Jian come over, Mother Liu was surprised for a moment and said, “Qingqing’s mother, why are you here? Come and sit!”
She handed the work in hand to the workers and then took Mother Jian to the backyard to sit.
Seeing her good friend, Mother Jian was also very happy. She chatted with Mother Liu for a while before saying, “Sister Liu, I want to buy a shop. Do you know which one is for sale?”
Mother Liu asked in surprise, “You want to buy a shop? Why? is Qingqing going to open another shop? That’s pretty good. Qingqing’s shop is so popular. Opening another one will definitely make money!”
Mother Jian smiled embarrassedly and shook her head. “No, I want to open it. My eldest sister taught me to make some desserts and then paid me to open a shop to sell.”
Mother Liu was even more surprised. She smiled and said, “That’s good! I’m telling you, earning money is different. You can buy whatever you want. You don’t have to think about deducting and searching for that bit of money. You have the skills and Qingqing’s help. You must be doing well. Just wait to count the money!”
Mother Jian lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “It’s not that exaggerated. I don’t know if it can be done.”
Mother Liu patted her disapprovingly. “Why not? Don’t have such thoughts for now. Just think that you must succeed. Only then will you have the confidence to do it! I know what you’re thinking. You just don’t dare to do it. I’ll tell you the truth. I thought the same at the beginning. I didn’t dare to do anything. I only dared to stay in the kitchen and cook every day. My Little Rong was the one who ordered and ran errands. He ran until his feet had blisters. He was even made difficult by the customers. When I looked at him, I saw that this wasn’t possible. I have to protect my son. Little Rong is my son. How can I let him protect me? I should be the one protecting him.”
“From then on, I tried to go out and talk to the customers. Actually, it wasn’t as difficult as I thought! After I said it once or twice, I’m not afraid of anything anymore! I dare to talk to anyone who comes, and I’m not afraid even if they scold me! So, you must try to ask others. It’s not that scary. Many people are kind people. What you think in your heart is just scaring yourself.”
Mother Jian’s heart was burning with passion from Mother Liu’s words. The moment she entered the shop, she realized that Mother Liu was indeed different from before.
Mother Liu was a widow, and her life was even more difficult than hers. In the past, when she was in the village, she did not dare to say a single word to the man, afraid that bad words would spread. Now, she was confident and calm. Just now, she was able to talk with the customers outside.
Mother Liu also saw Mother Jian’s eagerness to stir up trouble, so she quickly added fuel to the fire. She said, “The shop on the East Street near the largest inn, the third shop after entering, and the one in the middle of the west street selling steamed buns… These few are all interested in selling their shop. I heard from my customers that if you want to buy it, you can ask them. It’s fine, just ask them boldly. At most, you’ll be rejected. There’s no loss for you.”
