The man led her to escape from a blizzard, so she accompanies him, bearing the label of 'individual entrepreneur', setting up street stalls, opening small shops, and founding companies. The...
Finally, the shop opened. Xia Ruzheng was afraid that Keren would run away again, so he hurriedly said, "We have fried dough sticks, rolls, and pancakes. The fried dough sticks are golden and made with this year's new wheat flour. They are fragrant and crispy. And the rolls are filled with shredded carrots, black fungus, and cucumber. They taste cool but very refreshing. The pancakes are also filled with vegetables and are crispy. If you want, you can add eggs!"
Xia Ruzheng hurriedly introduced all his things. His crisp words and delicious food made the young man, who had not eaten all night, drool even more.
"Then give me one of each! How much is it?"
At this time, some people had already gathered around and were looking around.
Some people gathered around, and it was time for him to show off. Xia Ruzheng said eloquently, "This young man really has good taste! Since you're my first customer, I'll only charge you for the wraps and pancakes. Consider the fried dough sticks a gift from me! Thirty cents is all that's needed!"
The pancakes are 1.5 cents each, and the fried dough sticks are 1 cent each.
Xia Ruzheng skillfully spread the pancakes in the pan, then took a piece of pancake skin and plopped it on the wooden board. He quickly put some shredded vegetables on it and said, "You are a young man, you need a lot, I will give you more vegetables!"
Then he turned the pancake over, rolled it up in a few seconds, wrapped it in a lotus leaf, handed it to the young man, and put some fried dough sticks in it. The pancake was soon ready. Xia Ruzheng brushed some seafood sauce on it, then spread some vegetable leaves on it, wrapped it up and handed it to the young man, saying, "Pack it separately so that the smell won't mix, and it's cleaner!"
The young man also gave Sanmao readily, "If it tastes good, I will come again next time!"
Xia Ruzheng smiled brightly and said, "Welcome, welcome!"
The young man got on his bicycle, rang the bell, and left.
The others also started asking Xia Ruzheng questions.
Xia Ruzheng naturally would not be annoyed and responded with a smile. Even if the other party did not buy and just asked, Xia Ruzheng would not change his expression and would still be very patient.
Seeing this scene, Wen Zhichao felt a little relieved. He had been worried that his young wife would be hurt and unable to make money, but now it seemed that she had a talent for business. He had been worrying too much! And from this point of view, he had also found a treasure! How lucky!
Because it was the first day, no one knew the breakfast stall was there. Most people had just finished breakfast and were leaving, so even if they saw it, they wouldn't buy. On this day, even if Xia Ruzheng was enthusiastic, business wouldn't be booming. Everyone still needed time to accept it.
And some of them were bought by children crying for them and by grandparents who dote on their grandchildren.
By around nine or ten, the breakfast rush was over, and Xia Ruzheng packed up her stall and went home. She felt the first day was okay; while she hadn't sold out, it was still within acceptable limits.
Turning around and seeing Wen Zhichao still there, Xia Ruzheng asked curiously, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Usually, Wen Zhichao would go out at around nine o'clock.
Wen Zhichao saw Xia Ruzheng was about to close his stall, so he stepped forward to help and said, "I'm worried about you."
Xia Ruzheng understood what he meant and felt warm in her heart. Her husband was much more caring than others.
"So what do you think of my performance today?" He looked like he was asking for praise.
Wen Zhichao did not disappoint her. He patted her head and said, "Of course it's good. It's much better than I thought."
Xia Ruzheng was happy for him, in fact, she was also very satisfied with her performance!
"Don't worry! I will do better in the future! My goal is to open a restaurant and a hotel!"
Wen Zhichao simply and directly expressed his meaning: "Very good!"
Xia Ruzheng took her things back, and Chen Mei had been waiting. Seeing her return, she couldn't wait to ask, "How's it going? Is business good?"
Xia Ruzheng is not a person who likes to hide things, but he also understands that wealth should not be shown to others. It is obvious that Chen Mei came here to gather information.
"It's okay. I didn't lose money. But it's not easy to attract business. My voice is hoarse! I thought things were simple." Wen Zhichao put the things away silently and went out with the things on his back.
Chen Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and then a bit proudly, saying, "I told you, right? I'm very familiar with this area. Everyone likes to eat breakfast at home. It's not easy to run your stall!"
Xia Ruzheng smiled and said, "Since we've already started, let's give it a try! By the way, Sister Mei, I have a question for you. Do you know if there's anyone nearby who sells tofu?"
If you have tofu, you also have soy milk. Xia Ruzheng thinks soy milk and fried dough sticks are a perfect match. Nowadays, tofu shops only sell tofu; the soy milk and tofu dregs are rarely wanted. With nowhere to sell them, they're fed to pigs or thrown away.
Chen Mei said, "I know this. There's a family not far behind us who makes tofu. Making tofu is a tough job, and they have to get up early every day!"
