As the two walked in, looking at the spacious and bright storefront, Su Ciliang marveled, no wonder they dared to call it a food city.
It really felt a bit like a city inside.
However, the structure and layout were reminiscent of a university cafeteria.
But not entirely the same. Su Dan Novel Network
University cafeterias only had numbers like one, two, three, and four marked, but here, each stall had its own signboard.
The addition of signboards made it feel much more upscale.
"This idea is great! I bet he's a money-maker, just like Xiao Si!" Su Ciliang praised.
Hearing his second brother praise his money-making ability, Su Xiaotian felt a little proud.
"Second brother, look in that direction," Su Xiaotian pointed towards a corner and said.
"That person looks a bit familiar!"
Su Ciliang saw Li Yuling, wearing a mask, chef's uniform, and chef's hat, but didn't recognize her immediately.
Still, the person did look somewhat familiar.
From the sign outside to the person in front of him, Su Ciliang had a sense of familiarity.
"Second brother, it's Auntie from Uncle Changjiu's family, you don't recognize her?" Su Xiaotian said disdainfully.
What?
Su Ciliang stumbled.
When did Auntie from Uncle Changjiu's family come to the capital?
And open such a food city?
Could it be that everyone from Nanling Village was extraordinary, naturally gifted in business?
It was true that making money in the capital was easy, but only for those with real skills.
Su Xiaotian's arrival naturally drew the attention of the food city stall owners.
Initially, they were skeptical about renting such a small cooking station.
The reason they rented it was because they only had to pay half rent for the first month.
However, three months later, the business of the food city had only gotten better.
They were all making good money, and their backs had straightened.
They were extremely enthusiastic towards Su Xiaotian, their benefactor who had guided them.
"Xiaotian, you're here, sister-in-law will make you a bowl of lamb noodle soup."
The speaker was Tao Huixiu, who ran the lamb noodle soup stall. Tao Huixiu looked at Su Xiaotian with more affection than she had for her own sister.
"Xiaotian, how about I add a Roujiamo for you? Oh, you brought someone with you today, what a handsome young man."
The second person to speak was the bearded middle-aged man from the Roujiamo stall.
Although he looked rough, the Roujiamo he made was truly delicious.
Then the third and fourth people came over...
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for Su Xiaotian, Su Ciliang was extremely shocked.
What was going on?
Had his little sister done something big again in the few months he'd been away from the capital?
Recalling Su Xiaotian's strange expression earlier, Su Ciliang suddenly understood.
It made sense, although Auntie was a capable person, she couldn't have set up such a large stall right after arriving in the capital.
If the food city was his little Xiaotian's endeavor, it would make sense.
It was like moving the night market indoors.
"This is my second brother, I brought him to try some new things today. Second brother, what do you want to eat?"
After thanking everyone, Su Xiaotian introduced him.
Everyone initially suspected that Su Ciliang was Su Xiaotian's boyfriend, thinking the two young people looked quite well-matched.
They just felt that Su Ciliang was a little older.
But it didn't matter, older men were more caring.
When they heard Su Xiaotian say he was her second brother, everyone's thoughts changed.
It seemed their family had good genes, with both brother and sister being good-looking.
At this moment, Li Yuling also saw the siblings who had just entered and were being surrounded.
She instructed the two women helping her and also came over.
"Xiaotian, you're here? Ciliang, you're back from out of town?"
"Hello Auntie, I'm back. I didn't expect you to be in the capital too, and even opened a shop."
Li Yuling smiled and said, "This is all Xiaotian's credit. Without Xiaotian, I wouldn't have this shop."
This was true. From the beginning, she had done almost nothing. Xiaotian rented the shop and paid for it.
Even the initial promotion of the shop was arranged by Xiaotian.
It could be said that without Xiaotian, there would be no shop.
After three months, she had money in hand, and she had to thank Xiaotian.
"Xiaotian, hurry and take your brother to sit down, we'll serve you food," Tao Huixiu quickly took Su Xiaotian's arm and found her a table by the window.
Su Ciliang and Su Xiaotian sat down and were discussing what to eat.
Before they could reach a conclusion, the table was already filled with food.
A small portion of everything from each stall was brought over.
Small portions were naturally given, considering that Su Xiaotian and her brother couldn't eat too much.
If large portions were brought, it would be a waste.
"Xiaotian, they really treat you well!" Su Ciliang said, his voice filled with mixed emotions.
His little sister was so likable, even strangers liked her.
At this moment, Su Ciliang didn't know that these people liked Xiaotian purely because Xiaotian helped them make money.
"Second brother, eat quickly, it won't be as good when it gets cold!" Su Xiaotian smiled and picked up a portion of rice noodle rolls to eat.
While eating, she didn't forget to put one into Su Ciliang's bowl.
"Second brother, don't underestimate this small food city. Its annual turnover is better than our Yiming Pavilion."
When Su Xiaotian first thought about starting a food business, she never imagined it would be so popular.
Her fourth brother, who was good at making money, saw this booming scene and had already started renting three large shops to plan for a food city.
It was said that the renovation was already completed, and it was scheduled to open in about one or two weeks.
There were many people coming and going, and although they were just snacks and small items, they would surely make a lot of money.
"Our Xiaotian is truly amazing. From now on, second brother will rely on you to support me!" Su Ciliang said with a smile.
As he spoke, the pride and self-satisfaction in his tone were almost uncontrollable, as if he were the one making a fortune.
"No problem!"
Su Xiaotian said heartily, causing Su Ciliang to laugh again.
The stall owners watched the close relationship between the siblings with envy.
But they didn't know that these siblings did not share the same father or mother.
Li Yuling, busy in the distance, felt a pang of sadness when she saw this scene between the siblings.
Why couldn't either of her two sons be as sensible?
Look at the Su family children, so affectionate, how nice!
Although they didn't have the same mother, they were much closer than if they did.
Ciliang, that boy, was much more affectionate towards Xiaotian than her two sons were towards Xiaocao.
When would she ever experience such warmth?
As Li Yuling was thinking, Su Xiaocao entered.
