Parents coming to pick up their children from school would catch the scent from the braised meat shop and decide to take half a pound home to try.
Once they tasted it, they couldn't quit.
The booming business of the two shops meant Yuan Chun couldn't handle it alone. She went to Red Star Village to find the team leader, intending to hire two women to help in the shop, offering food and lodging, and paying thirty yuan a month.
At that time, temporary workers only earned twenty yuan a month, so with Yuan Chun offering thirty yuan, it was almost as much as a formal worker's salary.
The team leader immediately said, "No need to find others, just let my daughters-in-law, the wives of my eldest and second sons, help. They're efficient and hardworking, and definitely won't slack off or hold you back."
