Qin Zhenzhen’s two sister-in-laws’ eyes widened in delight after tasting the pancakes.
“These are so delicious!”
“Let’s go inside and see how she made them!”
Observing the two sister-in-laws entering to offer their assistance, Qin
Zhenzhen greeted them with a smile and said, “Today, I’ll treat you both.” The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law chuckled. “There’s no need for you to treat us. Just teach us how to make these pancakes.”
Qin Zhenzhen agreed, “No problem, I’ll teach you.”
She had already devised a plan. She would create a unique seasoning blend and incorporate the essence of spiritual water.
Rather than selling snacks, she intended to market her seasonings.
Before venturing into selling seasonings, however, they needed to establish a reputation.
With the help of the two sister-in-laws, the process became twice as efficient as before.
Qin Zhenzhen took charge of mixing all the ingredients together, adding a touch of spiritual water.
In the meantime, she also assisted Su Cheng in selling the pancakes.
The town was already bustling with activity.
The demand for pork was increasing, keeping her two brothers occupied with sales, leaving little time for them to assist Su Cheng.
Qin Zhenzhen portioned the pancakes into bite-sized pieces for customers to sample.
This approach yielded the quickest results. Almost everyone who tasted them wanted to buy more.
Praise for her pancakes spread rapidly, and satisfied customers even began promoting her product for free. Word of mouth spread like wildfire, attracting a growing number of buyers.
They sold as many pancakes as they possibly could.
When the villagers from Qian Village caught wind of the delicious pancakes, they flocked to have a taste, eagerly offering money to purchase them.
Curiosity piqued, they couldn’t help but inquire of Su Cheng, “Who made these delightful pancakes?”
With pride, Su Cheng replied, “It was my Third Sister-in-law! She, along with my sister and her two sister-in-laws, made them in the kitchen!”
Some gossipmongers, unable to resist their curiosity, ventured inside to take a peek. Inside, they saw the four individuals bustling about, engaged in lively conversation and laughter.
The once-rumored lazy and chubby girl diligently flipped the pancakes, her head adorned with a bandana concealing a wound she had suffered earlier.
The villagers couldn’t help but discuss Qin Zhenzhen’s pancake-making skills.
“I can’t believe this chubby girl is so talented!”
“Look at the smiles on the faces of the Su siblings. They’re completely different when they’re with their Third Sister-in-law.”
“Of course! Third Sister-in-law, you’re hardworking, capable, and generous. Who wouldn’t like you?”
Many witnessed Qin Zhenzhen carrying a hefty 25 kg bag of rice home that day.
“Now that’s what you call changing people’s perceptions.”
“Before, everyone said the chubby girl wasn’t good enough for Su Bin. But in my opinion, Su Bin has found a treasure without spending a single coin. He’s gotten himself such an incredible wife for free.”
Unbeknownst to Qin Zhenzhen, she had become a respected daughter-in-law figure in the eyes of the villagers.
She had already asked Su Cheng to buy flour twice, and she had gone out to purchase cabbage as well.
After lunch, the crowd gradually dispersed, heading home.
Qin Dalong’s pork was nearly sold out, except for a few pork bones and lard.
Qin Sanlong, who had been keeping watch at the neighboring pork stall, approached with the remaining pieces of meat.
Aware that Qin Zhenzhen was selling pancakes, Qin Sanlong had even indulged in her pancakes for breakfast.
The three brothers assembled and eagerly awaited the lunch prepared by their elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
However, they found themselves surprisingly not hungry, having succumbed to the irresistible temptation of devouring numerous pancakes..
