Chapter 6 Successful life extension
When the two brothers returned home, Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw that Ye Erlang was doing well. She was really frightened by what happened at home during this time.

Mrs. Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ye Erlang with concern: "Why did you come back at this time today? But what happened?"

Ye Erlang said nothing, turned around and opened the cover.

"Why are there so many left?" Li couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ye Erlang said with a sullen face: "There are two more stalls selling steamed buns in the town."

The town is not big. In the past, he was the only one selling buns, and his business was pretty good. But suddenly there were two more stalls selling buns, which had a great impact on his small business. Even if he waited until dark to close the stalls, there were still so many buns left.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li angrily said: "How could they do this! Can't they sell noodles and wontons? They have to sell steamed buns like you. Isn't this bullying? I'll go find them tomorrow."

Madam Zhang glared at Madam Li, "Don't cause trouble."

Although she was also angry, the place in the town did not belong to her family, so she couldn't stop others from selling steamed buns just because they sold them, right?

Li closed her mouth angrily and looked at the half-baked buns in worry, "Then what should we do now? Are we going to set up a stall tomorrow?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Ye Erlang.

Ye Erlang was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's do it." His father's leg was injured and he couldn't hunt. His third brother also had to take medicine. He could only earn two.

"Then why don't we steam it tomorrow and sell what's left today?" Zhang said.

Ye Erlang shook his head, "Let's keep these buns for ourselves and steam them less tomorrow. I'll bring freshly steamed buns to sell."

Zhou Ran nodded secretly on the side. Ye Erlang's idea was correct. The competition was already huge. If the food was no longer fresh, wouldn't there be no more customers?
Mrs. Zhang sighed softly and said, "Okay, that's it. You go and eat first."

In the next few days, Ye Erlang did not bring many buns to sell every day. Sometimes they could be sold out, and sometimes there would be a few left.

Zhou Ran paid attention to it for a few days and gradually came up with an idea.

In the past few days, she has practiced sewing needle very skillfully, and has also embroidered two handkerchiefs that she is very satisfied with. After talking to Ye Ximing and Zhang, she went to the county seat again.

It was Old Man Liu's ox cart. After arriving at the county town, Zhou Ran went straight to Linglong Pavilion with her handkerchief.

There happened to be no guests in Linglong Pavilion at the moment. Shopkeeper Peng still remembered Zhou Ran. Seeing Zhou Ran come in, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhou, did you bring some embroidery here today?"

Zhou Ran nodded, took out the two embroidered handkerchiefs he brought and handed them over, "Please take a look at them, Shopkeeper Peng."

One of the two handkerchiefs is embroidered with a rich peony, and the other is embroidered with an elegant orchid. Two stitching methods, the straight stitch and the rushing stitch, are used. The stitches are neat, the layers are clear, and the color is uniform and natural.

After Shopkeeper Peng finished reading, Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Can these two handkerchiefs catch Shopkeeper Peng's eyes?"

Shopkeeper Peng smiled kindly, "Ms. Zhou's embroidery skills are incredible. The embroidery skills on this handkerchief are no worse than those of the embroidery girls in our embroidery workshop."

Zhou Ran curled her lips and said, "What about supplying embroiderers?"

Shopkeeper Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Zhou. I will sign the contract with Madam Zhou in a moment, but there are some things I have to clarify with Madam Zhou first."

Zhou Ran nodded, "Shopkeeper Peng, please tell me."

"First, the contract is for three years. Within three years, Madam Zhou will be the supplier of our Linglong Embroidery Workshop. Lady Zhou cannot supply goods to other embroidery workshops."

"Second, the embroidery Ms. Zhou brings in the future must be of high quality. If the embroidery work is not as good as today's two handkerchiefs, then our embroidery workshop has the right to reject them."

"Third, as Mrs. Zhou mentioned before, we must write in the contract that she will provide our embroidery studio with at least one double-sided embroidery piece a year. If Mrs. Zhou fails to do so, she will compensate our embroidery studio for liquidated damages."

Zhou Ran said cheerfully: "There is no problem with these points, but it's just about the price of the embroidery?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Peng assured: "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, our embroidery shop gives the best treatment to embroiderers in the entire county. Our embroidery shop can charge fifteen cents each for the two embroidered handkerchiefs Ms. Zhou brought today." We will also give Madam Zhou a price that satisfies her based on the size of the embroidery she brings and the level of sophistication of the embroidery work.”

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Zhou Ran was quite satisfied with the price given by the shopkeeper. She inquired and found out that the embroidery workshops in the town offered very low prices for embroidery handkerchiefs. The price for the less was only three cents, and the price for the more was only four cents. , can't even give five cents.

Shopkeeper Peng waved his hand, "Mrs. Zhou, you're welcome. If Mrs. Zhou has no other questions, let's go sign the deed first."

"it is good."

After shopkeeper Peng wrote the deed, he read the contents of the deed first. Zhou Ran took the deed and read it again. After confirming that there was no problem, he simply pressed his fingerprints.

As soon as the fingerprints were pressed, the system's voice rang in Zhou Ran's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for becoming the supplier of Linglong Embroidery Workshop, with a health value of +30. 】

Zhou Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The life extension was successful and she could live for another month.

After coming out of the embroidery workshop, Zhou Ran walked around the county town and observed the various shops and stalls selling food in the county town. Then she went to the grocery store and bought a few common seasonings that were not available in the Ye family, and then went to the drug store.

When Zhou Ran came out of the drug store, the two hundred cents given by her father Ye were all spent, and the thirty cents she had just received were only thirteen cents left.

Holding thirteen coins in hand, Zhou Ran took a deep breath and turned to the meat stall.

"Boss, how do you sell pig's trotters?"

"Nine articles."

“Where is this pig intestine?”

"Just give me two cents and you can take it."

Generally, few people buy pig intestines, and the price is very cheap.

Zhou Ran asked again about the price of the big bones, which was also two cents each.

Zhou Ran finally bought a pair of pig intestines and two big bones.

After buying these two things and seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ran hurried to where Old Man Liu parked his bullock cart.

Not many people came to the county today, and the oxcart was quite spacious when going back.

Back at Ye's house, Zhou Ran met Mr. Li as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Li held her nose and took a few steps back, looking at the large intestine in Zhou Ran's hand with disgust, "Third brother and sister, why did you buy this?"

"Eat." Zhou Ran said.

Li curled her lips and said, "How can you eat such a big thing?"

Li's natal family has good conditions. After marrying into the Ye family, Ye Ximing and Ye's father had no shortage of meat before their accident. She had never eaten anything like pig intestines.

Zhou Ran smiled: "Second sister-in-law, this thing is delicious when it's ready."

Li sneered: "I'm afraid the third brother and sister have never eaten delicious food, right?"

Zhou Ran tilted her head, "Second sister-in-law, don't believe me? Then, second sister-in-law, please don't eat it after I made it."

Li said categorically: "Don't worry, I will never eat a bite. If I did, I would be a dog." Li didn't believe how delicious pig intestines could be.

Zhou Ran raised her eyebrows, "Second sister-in-law, you said this yourself."
