Zhou Xiaoyun's tea stall quickly became one of the most bustling places in the market.

  On the small table, there were several glass cups. For five cents a cup, women and children loved to drink orange-flavored drinks. For one dime, men loved to drink light brown jasmine tea. The two kinds of drinks made with cold boiled water were very popular.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was busy with joy, and the coins in the small wooden box were more and more.

  There was a stall business that was exceptionally good, and it actually sold for 70 or 80 yuan, which greatly shocked Zhou Guoqiang.

  This unassuming little business earns a lot, he sells half a day's worth of pork and makes more when business is good, and even on slow days, it's only around 10 yuan. He's busy chopping pork, weighing pork, calculating accounts, and collecting money.

  Zhou Xiaoyun just scooped tea water into cups, and there were constantly people coming to throw down coins to drink tea. When business was busy, those who couldn't afford to buy tea would scoop some themselves to drink. During slow periods, Zhou Guoqiang would also help out with the busy work of Zhou Xiaoyun.

  Zhou Xiaoyun originally only carried two buckets of tea, but as business got better and better, she thought about increasing the variety. She bought some soda water and small champagne from a small store to sell.

  Soda water was sold in glass bottles, two cents a bottle. When drinking, use a simple bottle opener to open the cap, and after finishing drinking at the stall, you have to return the bottle. A bottle of soda water with bubbles could earn six or seven cents, very popular among children around ten years old.

  The small champagne bottles are a bit larger, with a taste similar to Sprite and a green color. Young men in their twenties all like this. The price is much higher than other drinks, selling for 50 cents per bottle, with the highest profit of over 10 cents per bottle.

  Since these two "high-end drinks" appeared on Zhou Xiaoyun's tea stall, Zhou Xiaoyun has truly tasted the sweetness of a booming business.

  Five cents for a bowl of homemade drink, and one yuan for a cup, the cost is very low. Two barrels are basically sold out, which can bring in a stable income of several dollars. In addition to soda water and small champagne, although not many are sold, but at a high price, they earn more.

  It's an astronomical figure!

  Zhou Xiaoyun was delighted every day counting money in her house.

  Apart from coins, angle tickets and block tickets began to appear. Zhou Xiaoyun exchanged the small change into one-yuan notes and stuffed them into the piggy bank. The weight of the piggy bank increased day by day, and it was almost full.

  Of course, clever Zhou Xiaoyun handed over 5 yuan to her mother Zhao Yujuan when she earned more than 10 yuan.

  Zhao Yuzhen had already learned from Zhou Guoqiang that Zhou Xiaoyun's tea stall business was doing very well and making a lot of money, but she felt embarrassed to say anything.

  Zhou Xiaoyun's actions were just what was needed, and Zhao Yuzhen pretended to decline before accepting it. She said with a smile: "Dad, mom will keep this money for you to buy new clothes in the future."

  Zhou Xiaoyun struggled to hold back her smile and put on a serious face to express gratitude: "Thank you, Mom. I also think it's safer to keep some money with you. When my little piggy bank is full, I'll smash it and buy an accordion."

  Zhao Yuzhen had long known Zhou Xiaoyun's purpose of saving money. As a rural woman, she didn't understand what was the use of playing that accordion, but it wasn't a bad thing after all. Let the child like it and go with her!

  It should be said that Zhou Xiaoyun's parents are relatively open-minded in this regard!

  Dabao has been eyeing the soda placed in Zhou Xiaoyun's room every day, twelve bottles stacked high in the corner of the wall, all of which were wholesale from Zhou Qianqian's small shop.

  Soda water sold for 2 cents retail and 1 cent and 3/4 wholesale. How did Da Bao know?

  Because it was Da Bao who used a tricycle to help Zhou Xiaoyun deliver soda and champagne. Champagne was too embarrassing for him to drink, but soda was much cheaper.

  Zhou Xiaoyun used soda water as bait when she coaxed Da Bao to do hard labor: "Brother, will you accompany me to Zhou Qianqian's house to pull the soda water? You're tall and strong, you can definitely move the soda water, and you ride a tricycle well. I'm far inferior to you, this matter is impossible without you. If you agree to go, I'll supply you with a bottle of soda water every day from now on."

  Dabao nodded repeatedly after hearing halfway through and was already grinning from ear to ear by the last sentence.

  Dabao busied himself with Zhou Xiaoyun for half a day, from moving soda to pushing a tricycle and then moving into Zhou Xiaoyun's house, all of which Dabao took care of by himself. Zhou Xiaoyun was relaxed and only responsible for paying the bill.

  Zhou Xiaoyun did not break her promise. From then on, she would send a bottle of soda to Dabao every day, and also give an extra bottle each to Xiao Bao and Er Ya.

  Dabao drank a bottle of wine that was just enough to moisten his mouth, and he couldn't get drunk. He saw Tian in Zhou Xiaoyun's house, wandering around.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was always at home and rarely went out, but when she got to the market, she took all the soda away, leaving no chance for Dabao to make a move, making him anxious and restless.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was practicing calligraphy in the house, watching Dabao scratching his ears and cheeks with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

  She finally relented and called Da Bao in to bring another bottle of soda to drink.

  Dabao was overjoyed and rushed in at a speed comparable to Liu Xiang's hurdling.

  After opening the bottle cap, Da Bao drank two mouthfuls with satisfaction and wiped his mouth with a pleased expression.

  Looking back, Zhou Xiaoyun was smiling with a grin, and Da Bao's face turned slightly red: "Da Ya, if you have anything urgent to do, just call me to replace you."

  Not to mention, I really used Da Bao's help.

  Zhou Xiaoyun had long thought that the market was too busy for one person to handle, and Zhou Guoqiang could lend a hand, but whenever he did business, he couldn't take care of it.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was busy selling four kinds of drinks by herself, having to collect money and make change while also handing out the drinks. When there were a lot of people, she couldn't keep up. She glanced around and suddenly focused on Da Bao's head.

  "Brother, why don't you come with me to the market to sell tea water from now on? I won't ask you to handle money, just help me pour drinks into glasses. In return, I'll give you two bottles of soda every day and an extra 20 cents for you to buy sugar!"

  Dabao agreed readily after hearing Zhou Xiaoyun's request.

  He was secretly delighted that he not only had soda to drink but also money to take, unaware that the capitalist who truly took advantage of him was smiling with a more sinister and pleased expression.

  Two bottles of soda plus two dimes can be exchanged for a small laborer who will run errands as needed. How does this business calculate to be cost-effective?

  Zhou Xiaoyun smiled like a cat that had eaten fish... *ahem*... forget the last part!
