Qi Younian and his family saw the guests off, and it was already late.
Disturbed by Jinrong, Jiang Yifan, and their party's visit, they had wasted an entire afternoon, so they had to make do with a simple dinner preparation.
Ye Xinyan helped Nanny Jin quickly clean up after dinner. The family of four had their meal and then got busy preparing for the next day's stall setup.
It was now midsummer, and it stayed light out late, so the family worked together in the yard, chatting idly as they did.
Their courtyard was some distance from the neighbors. Ye Xinyan looked at the open gate and the low courtyard wall and said to Qi Younian, "Grandpa, our rice tofu business is booming, and we have more customers. But our family has limited manpower, and we can't make too much. Some guests come and have nowhere to sit, and others come late and can't get any food. What do you think about us adding a couple of tables and making more each day?"
