Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Zhu and his mother approached Aunt Zhang’s table and took their seats. Turning to Li Hua, Li Zhu ordered, “Sister Hua, could we have a bowl of the shop’s signature spicy soup each, along with two fried dough sticks and two portions of braised meat?”
Li Zhu had been engrossed in his studies recently, spending little time in the village. Upon learning of the Lin family’s new shop during his New Year’s visit, he had made a special trip with his mother.
Li Hua brought them a pot of tea, instructing, “There are cups here. Help yourselves to the tea.” She then retreated to the kitchen, returning shortly with the items they had ordered. As most of the food was ready-made, their meal was served swiftly.
Noticing the shop wasn’t particularly busy, Li Hua decided to bring a cup of hot tea outside. Gu Zi had been tirelessly welcoming and bidding farewell to customers on her own, and Li Hua thought she could use a drink.
Outside the shop, the scene was bustling. Every now and then, someone would approach Gu Zi to inquire about the prices. However, after getting their answers, most would leave without further ado, some even complaining about the prices being too steep. freēwēbnovel.com
A middle-aged woman had just asked about the prices and immediately began to grumble, “Even after the discount, it’s still so expensive. How can ordinary folks like us afford it? This is a town, not a city. Your prices are comparable to those in the city! Selling at such high prices in this location, tsk tsk…”
Gu Zi accepted the cup of tea from her sister-in-law, took a small sip to moisten her throat, and then calmly responded to the woman, “Our prices are set scientifically, referencing market standards. We have not overcharged our customers by a single penny, and we can say that with a clear conscience.”
“As for whether this is a town or a city,” she continued, “I’d like to ask, how many breakfast shops in the city have you eaten at? Have you tried our breakfast here?”
