Chapter 26 Grandma, how about you provide the store and I provide the people?
Although the initial diagnosis was hypoglycemia, Ye Muqi was not a doctor after all, so it was better to be cautious.
The old lady was able to hear the sound, and even though her eyes were closed, she still nodded with difficulty.
"Huh..." Ye Muqi felt relieved. Hypoglycemia was easy to deal with. There was no need to go to the hospital. Just eat some sugar, consume carbohydrates and take a rest.
Ye Muqi quietly took out a piece of chocolate from the space. This thing has high calories and is more useful than sugar.
The chocolate was broken into small pieces and stuffed into the old woman's mouth. Ye Muqi supported the old woman who was a little shaky and could hardly sit still while feeding her chocolate.
After I fed her half a piece of chocolate, the old woman finally calmed down.
Although his face was still pale, at least he didn't faint.
"Grandma, take some and eat some more." Ye Muqi breathed a sigh of relief and handed all the chocolate in his hand to the old lady. He said worriedly, "You have hypoglycemia. You can't skip breakfast in the future."
If she hadn't happened to walk into this store and there was no one else in the store, and the old woman had fainted like this, who knows what would have happened.
Hypoglycemia may seem like a minor problem, but it can be fatal if left untreated for too long.
"Thank you, little girl. I was too busy this morning and didn't have time to eat." The old lady looked at Ye Muqi gratefully, "You came in to eat, right? Order whatever you want. I'll treat you."
As she said this, she put down the chocolate in her hand and stood up to make something for Ye Muqi.
This thing is sweet and makes her throat sticky. She can't eat it.
"No, no." Ye Muqi looked at the pale face of the old lady and quickly pulled her back: "Grandma, you should take a rest. I can do it myself."
"You...you do it yourself?" The old lady was obviously a little shocked.
Let’s not talk about whether this girl does a good job or not. How can it make sense to let the customers do it themselves?
"I'm a cook, so it's no problem for me to cook something." Ye Muqi thought the old lady was afraid that she would waste things, so she explained.
"this……"
Seeing Ye Muqi's insistence, the old lady nodded and agreed, but she still looked a little embarrassed.
The little girl saved her, but still asked her to cook for herself.
Ye Muqi walked towards the stove. Most of the food had been sold, leaving only some dough. He didn't know whether it was intended to be used to make cakes or noodles, and no yeast was added.
Ye Muqi boiled a pot of water, kneaded the dough again, and when the water boiled, he took out a knife and took the dough in his hand.
The old lady had completely slowed down. Seeing Ye Muqi busy at the stove, she couldn't help but come over to take a look out of curiosity.
Ye Muqi's knife moved up and down, and slices of noodles were put into the pot one by one. The sizes and thicknesses were all about the same. Moreover, Ye Muqi's knife speed was getting faster and faster, almost leaving an afterimage. The old lady was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.
Now, she really believed that Ye Muqi was a chef. It would take at least ten years to master such knife skills!
But she looked at...
It’s not big!
Soon Ye Muqi prepared two servings of knife-cut noodles and brought them over, boiling two small green vegetables in them, which made people's appetite increase just by looking at them.
"Grandma, I made a bowl for you too."
"Thank you."
The old lady ate very quickly. In a short while, she drank up all the soup. It seemed that she was really hungry.
"Grandma, you should pay more attention to your health even though you are busy with your business. As you get older, it would be better to let your family members help you." Seeing that the grandma was eating with relish, Ye Muqi also began to eat slowly.
This old lady is a pretty nice person, and Ye Muqi doesn't want the previous accident to happen again.
"Alas!" The old lady sighed and looked sad. "I only have a six-year-old grandson left in my family. My son and his wife died in an accident a few years ago."
Ye Muqi didn't expect that one of his words would hit the mark so accurately, and he was immediately embarrassed.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, it's okay." The old lady interrupted Ye Muqi's apology, "They left, and it's a pity for my little grandson. He lost his parents at a young age, and his health is not good. He has to go to the hospital all the time. There is nothing I can do as an old lady. I can only sell breakfast to have money to take him to the hospital for treatment."
The old lady's name is Cai Dongmei. She is only 52 years old this year, not much older than Xia Ying, but she looks almost a generation younger than Xia Ying.
One can imagine how difficult grandma's life is. No wonder she runs a breakfast shop here all by herself.
"Grandma, do you only sell breakfast?" Ye Muqi thought for a moment and asked.
She had just checked the stove and it didn't look like the shop was still open for business. If she hadn't just saved the old lady, she probably wouldn't have anything to sell her.
So in this shop, the old lady probably only sells breakfast.
But in the modern world, breakfast shops are basically open all day, and they also sell lunch items, as well as rice and stir-fried dishes.
"My grandson is still young and in poor health. After I finish selling in the morning, I have to go back to take care of him." Cai Dongmei nodded, "Besides, I am an old woman and my body can't handle too much work."
"Oh." Ye Muqi thought so too. The old lady didn't look in very good health. If she sold things for a whole day, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
As for hiring someone, that is even more impossible. The old lady has used all her money to treat her grandson's illness. Where would she get the money to hire someone?
Well, isn't that perfect!
She wanted to find a store, and there was one at Grandma's place, and Grandma's place was short of staff, so she was just the right person for her.
"Grandma, I have an idea." Ye Muqi's eyes lit up. "This shop only sells breakfast and makes too little. Besides, you are in poor health and the variety of dishes you make is limited. The profit is almost enough to support you and your grandson, not to mention the medical treatment."
Ye Muqi analyzed for the old lady that the location of this breakfast shop was quite good and it was not cost-effective to only sell breakfast.
"I'm a chef. I can cook not only breakfast but also lunch. How about we work together? You run the shop and I run the staff. We can open it all day and make more money."
"real?"
Cai Dongmei was a little tempted after hearing this. She also knew that she could make more money if she could sell things at noon, but her body just couldn't handle it.
But now Ye Muqi can do it, and the bowl of knife-cut noodles just now didn’t seem to have much in it, but it tasted good, much better than what she made. The noodles were especially chewy and had a great taste. This cooking skill should not cause any problems for customers.
"But……"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything. I can prepare it myself." Ye Muqi looked at Cai Dongmei and continued.
Anyway, the supermarket in her space has everything.
"But with your skills, you can open your own shop. Why do you still want to work with an old woman like me?" Cai Dongmei was moved, but still a little worried.
Ye Muqi thought this was normal. She would be suspicious if someone suddenly came to discuss cooperation with her.
"To tell you the truth, I just wanted to find a store to do business, but I didn't find one, did I?" Ye Muqi sighed.
