The mother and daughter looked at each other, and their eyes widened at the same time.
200 bowls? They didn’t hear wrong, did they?
“This is only the beginning. If the response is good, Manager Liang said he will increase the amount.” Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the mother and daughter’s expressions and continued.
“So…many?” Aunt Wang stuttered.
!!
“Yes.”
“So, I really need help. At the very least, I need to find someone to set up a stall with me in the morning. Since we’re making so many cold cakes in the afternoon, it’s best if someone can help out.”
Aunt Wang’s expression froze.
“If you don’t want to, I’ll have to ask Aunt Jiang. However, I trust you more.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“That’s not enough. I see that there are a lot of people at the dock. If we have enough help, we can set up a stall there.”
Aunt Wang was stunned.
“But there’s no hurry. I’ve just started my business, so I’m going to take it one step at a time.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Wang Erya.
“Erya also needs to rest for a few days. When she’s better, we’ll have enough manpower.”
She would first sell the cold cakes in the west of the city with Aunt Wang. When she was able to take care of things herself, she would let her go to the pier.
When the time came, Erya would be able to help too.
Wang Erya immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Her eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Hehe, you should stay at home and recuperate. When you’re better, you can come with us.”
“Yes!” Wang Erya quickly nodded.
As they talked, they arrived at Daishi Village.
Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang sent Wang Erya home, and then rode the ox-cart home.
Liu Shi heard movement from the side door and came out.
When she saw that her daughter had returned, she quickly came to ask about the situation.
“The doctor cleaned the wound and applied some ointment. He also prescribed some medicine, saying that the swelling would subside by tomorrow. Then, she will be fine after a few days.”
“That’s good!” Liu Shi looked relieved.
“I have heated up your food. Come in and eat.”
“Alright. I’ll bring the ox in and feed it some water and grass. It’s worked hard today.”
“Sure.” Only then did Liu Shi turn around and return to the kitchen.

Even though she had eaten two buns, she was still really hungry.
Opening the lid of the pot on the stove, Lin Xiaoyue saw two meat and one vegetable dishes.
She quickly brought the dishes to the small table in the kitchen and started eating them with white rice.
She ate three big bowls and was almost 90% full before she stopped.
Then, she washed the dishes in satisfaction and tidied up the kitchen.
Just as she was about to call Li Xiao to grind the rice paste with her, she heard Aunt Wang’s voice from the courtyard.
Lin Xiaoyue went to the courtyard and saw her mother pushing away the basket of eggs that Aunt Wang was holding.
“You’ve helped my family so much before. This little help from Yue’er is really nothing!”
“Besides, we don’t lack eggs now. Erya is injured and is recuperating. Take these eggs back for Erya!”
“Aiya, just keep it. Don’t complain that I’m giving you too little!” Aunt Wang was still pushing the basket into Liu Shi’s hands.
Lin Xiaoyue was amused by this scene.
“Aunt Wang!” She walked over to the two of them with a smile.
