Because of the reduction in volume, I closed the stall early today. I didn’t consider everything yesterday, but today I took into consideration that adults and children had to go to work and kindergarten, so I closed the stall early and went home to rest.
When people heard that they were selling the dishes for a few days during the opera performance, their purchasing power increased in a short period of time. After all, it is not often available, and things are valuable because they are rare.
Anyone can make fried vermicelli, but none of them are as delicious as this stall. It’s full of flavor and comes with tomato and egg soup.
The soup was not bland, and even though my bowl didn't have eggs and tomatoes, it still tasted good.
After closing the stall and returning home, Zhou Chengning told Xu Xiangjuan about the incident.
"Although I have the idea of opening a small restaurant, I don't have the money yet...I will educate Gua Gua." Xu Xiangjuan promised.
Guagua just happened to not sleep today, so after washing up, Xu Xiangjuan talked to Guagua, while Zhou Chengning listened while holding Niu Niu.
Let Niu Niu also listen to how his mother educates his sister.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Guagua, our little stall won't be open for long. Don't tell the kindergarten kids about our little restaurant."
Guagua: "Mom, why can't I tell you?"
Because his mother pointed the main finger at the kindergarten, Gua Gua did not suspect that his father was telling tales.
Xu Xiangjuan: "It's not like our family runs a small restaurant. Guagua, do you know what a small restaurant is?"
Guagua: "Selling food. Sister Xixi told me."
Xu Xiangjuan: "A small restaurant does sell food. Remember when we went to the county town before? The place where Guagua and his parents had lunch was called a small restaurant."
Guagua was stubborn, "Remember, my mom also opened a small restaurant."
Xu Xiangjuan: "It can be called a small restaurant only if there are tables, and we don't have any tables at home."
Guagua finally admitted, "Okay, then our family sells delicious food."
Xu Xiangjuan: "When Guagua and Dad have a long vacation, Mom will stop selling fried vermicelli. We will sell them at the doorstep then."
"The fried vermicelli is delicious. Mom, are you going to open a small restaurant at home? We have a table at home."
"It's convenient at home... but it still can't be considered a small restaurant. Gua Gua might as well just say that we sell delicious food." In her previous life, Xu Xiangjuan actually started out as a laborer and didn't have the skills she has now. She was all about washing vegetables and dishes. She found it hard at the time, and thought cooking was much easier than washing vegetables and dishes, but it's actually just as difficult.
Cooking for a family and earning money are different after all, so I decided to stay outside during the summer vacation, set up a shed, and take care of the children.
There are disadvantages in making food now, but the advantages cannot be ignored.
The disadvantage is that everyone's life is not that good, most people don't buy food often, they cook it at home, and the village is big, except for watching plays and movies, people don't gather together.
The advantage is that there is no food business in the village, and things are valuable because they are scarce.
There are food stalls in the town, but because the food doesn't taste good and is expensive, business is slow and not many people come.
There are several festivals here where they have to make steamed buns. No matter how poor the family is, they will rush to the town to buy steamed buns for the festival. Steamed buns are a small business opportunity.
Steamed buns can be a substitute for cakes. She can make longevity peach steamed buns for the elderly. She sets up a shed outside in the yard to cook food and steams the steamed buns in the house.
In the early stage, her father promoted the product, and in the later stage, the taste won the market.
What is the most convenient thing to cook in summer? Of course, it is cold noodles, cold noodles and sesame cakes. The cold noodles are made in advance and are quick to prepare when they are sold. Except for the two children under five years old at home, anyone can make it.
The selling time will not be too long. After all, there is no electricity at home and no big lights like those on the stage. The cold skin and cold noodles are open in the afternoon and close before dark. As for the steamed buns, it depends on the number of reservations.
Guagua was happy, "We sell delicious food."
Zhou Chengning laughed along, "It's better to stay outside at home, it's not troublesome, and the cow can also be put inside the house to play."
"Gua Gua, Mommy told you to listen to Daddy, right?" Xu Xiangjuan's expression suddenly became serious.
The big and the small immediately stopped smiling. Niu Niu, who was just laughing along with his dad and sister, was too young to control his expression. His mom was angry that he was still smiling.
Niu Niu seemed to sense something, and gradually put away his smile, looking at his mother with wide eyes.
Guagua: "I listen to my father."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad works so hard. He has to pick you up from kindergarten and take you home every day. Do you think he has much free time? He works at school and does chores at home. Why do you still mean to him and confront him?"
"I don't have a vicious father."
"Juan, Guagua is young." Zhou Chengning originally felt that he should not speak. After all, when he spoke, his lover had to play the good guy.
Xu Xiangjuan said to Guagua, "Even though you are young, you must not disobey your father. Your father is the pillar of the family. Without your father, there would be no you. Do you remember what your mother told you tonight?"
"I'll remember that." Gua Gua said dejectedly, not understanding why his mother suddenly scolded him.
Mom didn't say anything else and went to bed.
Zhou Chengning was a little at a loss, and Niu Niu was still looking at his mother in a daze.
"Niuniu is asleep, Aning, you should go to sleep too." Xu Xiangjuan held Niu Niu and coaxed him to sleep. When Niu Niu was sleepy, she put him in the crib.
Zhou Chengning was awake. He waited for his lover to get into bed, leaned over and whispered, "Juan, are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry...you too, can you be a little more aggressive? I have to scold even Guagua." Xu Xiangjuan was not angry at first, but now she is angry. Not only is Guagua young and ignorant, but Aning also has no temper.
His circle is simple now, but in the future, people with this kind of personality will sooner or later be devoured alive by society.
"Juan, don't you like my good temper?"
I remember that on Juan's birthday this year, he read to her the letter he had written to her. At the end, Juan praised him for his good temper. If he didn't have a good temper, she wouldn't have married him.
"Your good temper is only useful to me. What use is it to others? You can't even teach your daughter."
It’s really infuriating when you think about it. Xu Xiangjuan also left a “mosquito bump” for Zhou Chengning.
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but he could feel his breathing. Zhou Chengning's cheeks turned red with embarrassment because of the "mosquito bites" given by his lover.
Of course, nothing happened that night.
...
The reason why Xu Xiangjuan was able to be so mean to Guagua was because she knew Guagua too well. When Guagua woke up the next day, he was fine and was eating and drinking as usual.
Guagua is secondary. Xu Xiangjuan feels that Guagua’s father needs to be trained well and trained to be fierce.
Although Guagua is young, he is not thick-skinned at all, so Guagua has been excluded as the target of the bullying.
"Juan, I can't be mean to you when I look at you." Zhou Chengning felt that it was very embarrassing for his lover to let him be mean to her.
"Then you can start with Niu Niu." Xu Xiangjuan was not a masochist, so she simply changed the target.
It just so happened that Niu Niu was held in his father's arms, and he had some experience in dealing with Niu Niu.
Turning Xiao Tuan Niu Niu around to face him, Zhou Chengning said viciously, "You can't wet the bed at night, do you understand? You can't poop when Daddy is holding you. Last time, you suddenly pooped on Daddy's shoes, and Daddy can smell your poop when he wears those shoes."
Maybe dad’s expression was too vicious, and Niu Niu’s chubby little hand hit dad’s face again.
Xu Xiangjuan felt it was unbearable and upset to see her man being beaten unilaterally, so she simply ignored it.
The opera ended after seven days, and Xu Xiangjuan closed her stall on the last day, and then started preparing for the cold noodle business.
As for the customers who wanted to eat vermicelli, she talked to her mother and asked her mother to bring it back to the cold noodle stall. If anyone wanted to eat vermicelli, she would fry it for them, so there was no need to worry.
The total profit from the seven days of performance was 243 yuan. During this period, Xu Xiangjuan gave 10 yuan to her parents. She was going to give more, but her parents refused to accept it. It happened that she was going to ask Carpenter Chen to make tables and chairs, so she kept the money for the time being and would give it to her parents when she had enough money.
Because they had a lot of cooperation orders, Carpenter Chen also gave them some benefits and gave them four small wooden stools.
Before opening the cold noodle stall, Xu Xiangjuan naturally wanted to use her family as guinea pigs for food tasting.
Xu Xiangjuan prepares the cold noodles in advance and mixes them for adults and children. The cold noodles themselves must be smooth and the mixing of ingredients is also crucial.
"Daughter, add more oil and chili for daddy." Xu Gensheng couldn't stop swallowing his saliva when he saw his daughter mixing the cold noodles.
Xu Xiangjuan was quick in her movements, picking up a piece of cucumber and putting it into the cold noodles with chopsticks. "No, Dad, if you add more chili, the cold noodles won't taste the same."
According to her experience of eating cold noodles, although the taste is okay with spicy food, the chili has already stolen the limelight from the cold noodles.
"It tastes delicious." Gua Gua had a small bowl of cold noodles, which was shared from grandma's bowl.
Wu Caifeng likes the taste to be relatively light, with a mainly bluish-white color. If chili peppers are added, the whole bowl will change color.
Shredded cucumbers, shredded radishes, peanuts, and gluten are common ingredients in cold noodles. The soup is the base soup prepared by Xu Xiangjuan, and mashed garlic, coriander, chili oil, and vinegar can be added according to preference.
Xu Xiangjuan herself doesn’t like cold noodles that are too oily. Although everyone may prefer oil, she is still determined to make a refreshing soup suitable for summer.
Except for the chili peppers, Xu Xiangjuan did everything else according to her father's instructions.
Although he was not satisfied with the lack of chili peppers, Xu Gensheng quickly started eating. After the first bite, he said, "I will eat this for lunch and dinner from now on."
"Dad, no, you can't eat it like this. Eating too much is not good for you. Besides, I sell it for 80 cents a bowl." Her parents had already prepared the meal, so Xu Xiangjuan prepared it for her husband.
Zhou Chengning didn't say anything. He didn't have any preferences. He would eat anything that his wife prepared.
Xu Xiangjuan gave Zhou Chengning a little more chili peppers than she gave her own father, but of course it was just a little more, not any more.
Wu Caifeng: "If you save money, it should be more expensive than fried vermicelli. It has more ingredients, such as peanuts, gluten, and cucumber shreds. It costs money."
She doesn't ask how it can be sold at such a high price. There must be a reason why it is so expensive.
Xu Gensheng thought it would be better to find an excuse to eat Liangpi. "Mix me another bowl in the afternoon. I'll take it to other people's homes and let everyone know that my daughter is selling this."
Wu Caifeng: "Other people were taking a nap at home, but you took a bowl of cold noodles and ate it secretly before going home?"
Xu Gensheng: "So I went there in the afternoon when the people woke up."
"I'll make some cold noodles for Dad in the afternoon to change the taste." Xu Xiangjuan made a small portion for herself and tasted it. It was okay.
My current target is still the village where my family lives. I will sell my products in the town when I have enough savings.
"That's fine, cold noodles are cold noodles." As long as there's something to eat, it's fine.
In the afternoon, Xu Gensheng and Wu Caifeng came to their daughter's house after taking a nap.
Since she is not setting up the stall now, there is not much work. When Xu Xiangjuan saw her parents coming, she mixed a bowl of cold noodles and asked her father to take it to the family.
"Your father is not ashamed."
"What's there to be ashamed of? We are doing business honestly, not stealing or robbing."
"In the past, we hid all the food at home, but now we rush to serve it out."
"Mom, this is a business. There's nothing we can do. Otherwise, no one would know that we have a food business."
