Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan had prepared some extra stinky tofu for lunch and planned to give some to Su Xueye’s family. She did not expect Su Xueye’s father, Su Wenxing, to deliver the dining cart.

She looked at the cart and explained, “Uncle Wenxian, you did an excellent job!

That’s what I imagine it to look like.”

Su Fengmao said, “Your Uncle Zhengde’s three sons are outstanding carpenters. The things they make are nothing short of perfect.”

Su Wenxing rubbed his hands together and said honestly. “You’re too kind,  Second Uncle.” He called Su Fengmao his second uncle regarding seniority, but their age difference was negligible.

Su Binglan looked at the dining cart, and there were no problems with it, so Su Wenxing prepared to leave. Su Binglan gave him the stinky tofu she had packed and told him to bring it home.

However, Su Wenxing was too embarra.s.sed to take it. He had purposely come over after everyone finished lunch, but he did not expect Su Binglan to give him something in return.

She had already paid him a lot to make the dining cart, so Su Wenxian simply made the dining cart without question. Still, Su Binglan insisted on giving him the stinky tofu.

“Uncle Wenxian, don’t you remember having stinky tofu?” Su Binglan said, “I made more this time for you to bring back to the others to try.”

Su Wenxing heard that it was stinky tofu and did not refuse. He took it with a smile and went home soon after.

Afterward, Su Binglan taught Song Yi to make stinky tofu with tofu pudding on the dining cart. The cart had a place for frying, and Song Yi only needed to put charcoal below it to fry the tofu.

After frying the tofu, he would brush on the seasoning, and then the customers could eat. It was pretty straightforward, and Song Yi understood how it worked at a glance.

Su Binglan had Song Yi sign a contract for the stinky tofu stall and told him more about it. He did well to remember everything. He also did not expect to earn more the more he sold.

With that, he could earn more than 150 copper coins monthly, which made him feel warm and energized.

In the afternoon, Su Wenwu accompanied Song Yi to town to sell stinky tofu for the first time. First, he helped Song Yi sell the food on the dining cart as a form of training. When Song Yi became familiar with things, he would sell stinky tofu independently.

The current Teng He town was bustling as many people and stalls were around. The townsfolk were curious when they saw Su Wenwu and Song Yi pus.h.i.+ng the dining cart.

“What’s that thing? Are they setting up a stall here?”

“Whoa, that thing has wheels. It looks convenient to use!”

“Yeah, it doesn’t take up much s.p.a.ce, either, and he won’t have to use much strength to move it.”

“That’s a novel-looking thing.”

“I see the words ‘stinky tofu’ on it. I also see writing saying it’s three copper coins for five skewers and five coins for ten skewers. So, five skewers is a small order, and ten skewers are large.”

“If it has something to do with tofu, it can only be from the Su family. Still, I wonder why they call it stinky tofu.”

“I’ve heard of that delicacy. The people working at the tofu factory in Su Teng Village have given out stinky tofu to their people once. I heard it’s delicious, even though it smells strange.”

Song Yi and Su Wenwu set up the stall in the market on the east side of town. Many people were around shopping and selling things. They could not help but look at the highly unique dining cart when they pa.s.sed by.

The cart only took up a small place, and Song Yi could cook on it by placing charcoal in the compartment below. Then he put some oil in a small pot and fried the tofu. The smell wafted through the air immediately after.

Although it smelled strange, the fragrance was enticing.

Song Yi said while frying the tofu, “The first 20 customers can taste these for free.”

That was what Su Binglan instructed, and Song Yi followed. However, only the first 20 customers could taste stinky tofu for free. Everyone became excited when they heard that and no longer wondered what stinky tofu was. They only wanted to be the first people to try it.

“Miss Su l s food must be delicious.”

Soon, the townsfolk formed a line in front of the dining cart.

Su Wenwu was on the sidelines helping to brush the seasoning onto the stinky tofu. Then Song Yi gave each person a skewer. The person in front of the line took the skewer and was stunned after his first bite.

“Is it good?” The people behind him also took their servings and started eating.

Everyone nodded and praised, “Wow! It’s truly delicious.”

“One skewer isn’t enough for me. Can I have another?”

Song Yi smiled at everyone and said, “We’re doing a small business, so only the first 20 skewers are free. You must line up and buy them if you want more. You can refer to the prices here. A small order of five skewers is three coins, and a big order of ten skewers costs five.”

“I’ll take a small order of five, please.”

Three coins were a reasonable price for some townsfolk, so they bought more stinky tofu to satisfy their cravings. The first 20 people to try stinky tofu for free liked how it tasted and paid to order more—only those who could not bear to spend money held off and did not buy it.

Everyone knew how delicious stinky tofu was in just a short while. The townsfolk also knew it was something Miss Su had come up with.

Everyone recognized Su Wenwu since they had eaten at the hotpot restaurant before. They went over to greet him when they saw him and bought stinky tofu.

The wealthier townsfolk bought a few more servings and planned to bring them home for their families to try.

“This thing smells weird but tastes delicious. Hahaha, we don’t need to try new delicacies from the Su family to know how good they’ll taste.”

The Su family’s reputation had spread far and wide in Teng He Town. The stinky tofu would not have sold well if not for the family’s reputation.

Song Yi was nervous when he went to town to sell stinky tofu for the first time. Although he knew how delicious it was because he had eaten a few pieces at the Su family’s house in the afternoon, the townsfolk would not know.

He feared the townsfolk would not eat stinky tofu because of its smell. Even if the first 20 customers could try it for free, it did not mean they would be willing.

Song Yi was most worried about being unable to sell the stinky tofu and let Su Binglan down. He would feel humiliated about receiving his salary if that were the case. Nonetheless, he did not expect the business to be so good.

Song Yi’s hands moved even more quickly as he continued. He typically helped his parents cook at home. Therefore, he could fry, add seasoning, and collect money simultaneously.

Su Wenwu wanted to continue helping, but Song Yi said, “Wenwu, let me learn how to do this alone so that I can master it faster.”

Su Wenwu knew his friend’s words made sense. After all, Su Wenwu was only there to help that afternoon. After that, Song Yi would have to sell stinky tofu independently.

Although there were many customers, and Song Yi was busy, he worked smilingly.

“Young man, I’d like to order a big serving. Can you split them into separate bags for my two grandsons?

“Okay, ma’am, please wait a moment. I will be ready shortly,” Song Yi said confidently. He kept the copper coins he received from the customer while continuing to fry more stinky tofu..
