Su Tang took her brother home. Aunt Zhou was waiting for them and saw her smiling face. It seems that everything turned out well for them.

"The teacher said that if your brother has time, he can go see him this afternoon. The matter of acceptance depends on your little brother's diligence." Aunt Zhou spoke with a smile, "It's okay. Seven years old happens to be the age of enlightenment. The teacher shouldn't ask too many tough questions."

However, the siblings' father was illiterate, so his children never learned how to read and write. Until now Su Jin Hang has never read books.

Everything has to start somewhere. Su Tang nodded: "I troubled Aunt Zhou, but what supplies do we need to be a student?"

This was to get a rough estimate of what the school's fees and tuition would cost.

Aunt Zhou said: "Most of the students of this school were from wealthy families, so they brought the old-fashioned six gifts, silver, and hui ink. They were not too picky about the gifts. For example, my son only brought the six gifts, but he included more dried lean meat."

There was no minimum amount for how much a student should bring for the six gifts, but the poor and the rich have their own standards for the gifts.

Su Tang knew what she had to do. After thanking Aunt Zhou, she took Su Jin Hang to the bookstore in the west city market, where they sell a complete box of the six gifts.

They just had to pay the proper amount, and the storekeeper would package it properly.

Su Tang also chose two inks and two good brushes.

Two silver pieces of good quality were exchanged, and they placed everything in the box of six gifts.

This package nearly cost three taels.

In terms of current prices, two taels of silver were enough for a family of three people to have a good meal.

These gifts were already considered valuable in the western part of the capital.

Su Tang has heard of this teacher. He was an old man with a great experience in teaching students.

This gift was a year's worth of tuition according to ancient customs. Which was still a good deal in the end.

The main thing was that Su Tang has money now.

She would definitely not be willing to spend money like this if her situation was like when she just came to this world.

Sure enough, the result was not surprising. The teacher still accepted Su Jin Hang and asked him to go to school tomorrow, even though he could only read some of the characters.

Su Jin Hang didn't expect to just walk around and come back as a student.

It was only when he arrived home holding the books, paper, and brushes he had bought that it sank in.

To be honest, most of the people here in the west part of the city were small merchants and vendors. It was already very good for their children to learn a thousand characters.

And just a few like him could get a teacher and went to a private school.

Zhou Cong was one such person, and now he would be counted as one as well.

Su Tang rubbed the head of her 7-year-old stingy brother and said with a smile: "It's really possible. Learning is a must."

At least in her eyes, no matter how old one is, learning is the right thing to do.

She never expected that Su Jin Hang could be so happy just because he could go to school.

Zhou Cong was also happy because from next week he could go to school with Su Jin Hang in the future.

The two of them had breakfast in the restaurant, then went to morning class together. They came back for lunch and went back to class right after. Thus, their schedules had been set.

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhou and Su Tang heard voices outside before they opened the doors of the restaurant.

Does it seem that the customers were calling for them to open the door?

They said they could smell the scent of food from the house?

Aunt Zhou hurried over, but the customers lined up at the door frightened her.

"You finally opened the door!"

"Why didn't it open yesterday? We rushed over here for breakfast."

"I always feel something is not right when I eat steamed buns from other people since I have tasted your steamed buns."

"I heard about this place at the God of Cooking Contest yesterday, so I deliberately came here."

"Is the porridge that the judges were full of praise for yesterday on sale today?"

Never mind Aunt Zhou, even Su Tang herself didn't expect her words to make such an impact.

In fact, it was not just her restaurant.

The business of several famous restaurants in the God of Cooking Contest has multiplied.

Many restaurants that did not participate in the competition were now full of regrets. Who would have thought that the God of Cooking Competition would be such a good place to advertise.

Fortunately, Su Tang had made more food today. It should be enough for a while, right?

But in less than an hour, they sold out on thousands of portions of congee. Even the tea eggs were sold out.

As for the steamed buns and egg steamed sponge cakes?

All sold out!

Nothing was left behind!

It was not even seven in the morning yet, and the morning sun had just started to show up. However, all the breakfast items were sold out!

Even Imperial guard Li, who rushed over, was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

He was already rushing to get here, but when it was the normal time for everyone to eat breakfast everything was already gone?

Normal breakfast hours were seven to nine in the morning.

Su Tang saw that he brought a big lunch box today. She asked: "Why did you bring such a big box today?"

"The marquis, our master, is going to be out of the capital for a few days. He wanted to buy some buns to eat on the road." Imperial guard Li said while feeling helpless.

There was nothing left for them to buy now.

How many days would he leave the capital for?

She guessed he was really busy since it seems like she hadn't seen him for days.

Su Tang was a little embarrassed: "Not to even mention steamed buns, I don't even have any flour left."

She really miscalculated the flows of the God of Cooking competition.

It is simple enough for everyone to understand the meaning of "flows" even though they did not have the same meaning back in the day.

To give a comparison, their previous definition for good business was everything being sold out around nine o'clock in the morning. However, they were able to sell out two hours ahead of schedule today.

Su Tang came to a decision after sending the two children off for school. She said to Aunt Zhou: "We still have to recruit more people. It's best to start cleaning up the small restaurant for now."

Hiring some more people?

Aunt Zhou started to think about it. Business is so good now that the two of them can't do much of anything else because they are kept so busy.

If we want to sell more, we must hire more people.

Su Tang opened her restaurant to live a leisurely life, but why did she get busier and busier instead?

However, she realized that she didn't have enough money yesterday when she took her little brother shopping for the gift box yesterday.

The layout of the restaurant would also need to be slightly changed since they were going to recruit more people.

In fact, the design of ​​the restaurant was not bad. There were now a total of eight tables, but Su Tang thought they took too much space.

How about changing it to a modern bench and table?

Opening a breakfast shop was just a temporary thing for her. She would open a Chinese restaurant when she had enough money for it.

The reason why she opened a breakfast shop was that the cost of breakfast foods was lower than the other meals.

Su Tang just didn't expect her breakfast dishes would become so popular.

After mulling things over, she first chose to hire more people and then think about the other things later.

Su Tang also ignored her ugly handwriting and reluctantly wrote a notice. She heard someone ask a question while she was about to post the notice.

"I heard that you have already found a helper, so why are you still putting out a notice to hire people?"

Su Tang saw an old woman that seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.

"Mother-in-law! You are here!"

Su Tang was still trying to remember when she saw her second aunt Su rushing over to take the old woman's hand.

Second Aunt Su's injury was not fully healed so her walk looked more like a trot when she was moving closer.

Oh! So it turns out that this person was her eccentric grandmother from this world.

This grandmother dotes on the eldest son and the third sister the most. She had little affection for the other two sons.

Among the sons, she didn't really care about was the original father, and the second uncle Su next door.

Grandmother Su pretended to comfort her by patting Aunt Su's arm: "I hurried here when I heard the message you sent asking for the things for the villagers to bring. "

Grandmother Su pulled along a little boy next to her.

The little boy looked a little sloppy. He should be one of Grandmother Su's grandsons.

Su Tang has been watching this from the side without making a sound.

Grandmother Su reprimanded her when she saw this: "Don't you know to invite your elders to come into the house to sit?"

The words she said were not kind in the first place, so Su Tang calmly posted the notice before she spoke: "Please."

The concerned neighbors were already looking over at their movements.

The ancients valued filial piety the most. So she would definitely be blamed if she did anything wrong to Grandmother Su.

Now that she thought about it. Did her second aunt invite this grandmother just to deal with her?

Aunt Zhou felt something was wrong and made eye contact with Su Tang.

Su Tang shook her head slightly, indicating that she was okay.

Su Tang suddenly realized that the money that they earned this morning had not been put away yet. There was no way that her relatives' eyeballs wouldn't pop out when they saw it as soon as they entered the door.

Sure enough, the two women sucked in a deep breath when the second aunt brought grandmother Su through the door with her.

Second Aunt Su looked at the wen coins in the wooden barrel. My God! She had never seen so much money!

Was this what the dead girl earned all morning?

Su Tang tried to block their view from the side by covering the money in the wooden bucket and pretending that nothing was wrong.

But the minds of those two people were obviously already running wild.

Grandmother Su said: "Eldest miss, I came from the country to see you. I am relieved to see you have a good life."

Grandmother Su pointed to Aunt Zhou and said, "Aren't you a servant of my family? Why don't you pour tea for the master."

Aunt Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but before she could refute, she heard Su Tang say, "Aunt Zhou is just a helper, not a servant. Her duty is about the kitchen, so it's better for this granddaughter to pour tea."

Su Tang brought the tea to brew as she spoke.

Grandmother Su said: "Since you have paid her, that means she is a servant. Just let her pour tea. She must be bullying you because you are still young, but now your grandmother is here. I won't let my granddaughter suffer. I also came here because of you and your brother. How are you two going to live without guidance from your elders, ah?"

What do you mean by this? Are you planning to live here for a long time?

Su Tang has no affection for this so-called grandmother.

If she really feels sorry for her grandchildren, then she could have come over when the original's father died or asked them to live with her in the country at that time.

Instead, she let the two siblings stay here to be bullied by the relatives in the capital.

She has come to play the role of a good grandmother when she realized that the two siblings had money. Being an elder was really good, huh?

They might have deceived the original if she was still here, but she was not.

The current Su Tang could see through this play with a glance.

Su Tang lightly said: "No matter how we live, it was nothing more than just suffering and being poor. Why didn't you give us some money to live on if you really cared? Then we would have been grateful."
