When Xiao's mother heard that a repeat customer had come in just one day, and that he had come eagerly to see the store open, she thought to herself that she must be a bad person, so she said:
"Then I'll have to cook some more noodles and add some meat for you two, so that you don't have to wait for us so long in vain early in the morning."
"The boss lady is really good at business. I'll have to come here more often in the future."
These ladies just like these little bargains.
After the water boiled, Xiao's mother began to cook the noodles. At first, the people who came were the people living in the town.
If I don’t want to cook in the morning, I usually choose to go out and eat some noodles or something.
The folks in the town all have some kind of business to make a living, and they also have farmland in the suburbs. Anyway, their lives are much better than those of the country folk.
Those who are well-off don’t mind spending a few cents.
When Jiang Sui was serving noodles to them, he learned that everyone said that they had eaten it yesterday and it tasted good, and the freshness had not yet worn off, so they came again today.
Or the hot and sour noodles I had yesterday, and today I want to try the ones mixed with sweet potato skin.
So this morning, this mixed noodles sold slightly better than the hot and sour noodles.
Xiao Yi has been paying attention to the other food stalls on the street, but they didn't do anything and continued to do their own business.
Occasionally, someone would come to eat noodles and wontons. Compared to the hustle and bustle at the Xiao family’s stall, their stalls seemed very deserted.
But those steamed bun shops are still performing steadily. The strong entry of the Xiao family has not affected them. Coarse grains are always popular.
After the peak period, Xiao's mother handed the stall to Jiang Suixian, and went to the grain and oil store, bought 20 kilograms of mung beans, and then bought 20 kilograms of flour and 20 kilograms of brown rice.
After she took it back, she put it directly in the small compartment, thinking of taking it back home and hiding it at night.
She always remembered Jiang Sui's advice to stock up on food, so she bought the flour and brown rice to store.
Whenever she had the chance, she would buy some and hide them in her own room and Xiao Lanlan's room.
It will be time to harvest sweet potatoes again in a while. She will then harvest some potatoes and put them in the cellar. Since she needs to store food, she must also stock up some sweet potatoes and potatoes.
…
Three days passed like this. The Xiao family's business in the town was going quite smoothly. They made 630 wen on the first day, 580 wen on the second day, and only 500 wen on the third day.
However, the Xiao family is already very satisfied with this, and it is expected that it will become less day by day.
After all, Baima Town is just a small place, and nothing will stay fresh forever.
On the fourth day, the Xiao family stall returned to its original prices.
Xiao Yi watched for two days but didn't notice any movement from the street stall owners. On the fourth day, he arrived in the town and started to prepare, and Xiao's mother gave Xiao Yi some money.
It has been a while since I last visited Mrs. Liu. She is still staying at her parents' home and there has been no news of Liu Jiang getting married.
Now, she is more than five months pregnant and her pregnancy is already showing.
Xiao's mother gave birth to five children. As an experienced person, she knew that during this period, pregnant women's appetites increase and they need to eat a lot of food, especially good food to be good for the fetus.
So she sent Xiao Yi to the butcher stall in town to buy a few pounds of good pork belly, and then went to the street to buy some eggs from the ladies selling eggs and brought them to his mother-in-law's house.
Liu's home is only half an hour's walk from the town. There happened to be fewer customers at the stall today, so he could take some time to go over and take a look. He could just go and come back quickly.
Xiao Yi was no longer angry. After all, he was still thinking about his wife and her unborn child, so he happily took the money and went to buy meat and eggs.
After Xiao Yi left, Xiao's mother, Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan continued to run the business. There were indeed not as many people here as before, but there were still four or five people sitting at the stall eating noodles.
Most of them come here for the good taste. The price is not something they consider. It’s just a few cents difference anyway.
These customers come from well-off families and have plenty of spare money, so they pay more attention to the taste rather than the price. Of course, if the taste is good and the price is cheap, that’s another story.
Xiao Yi made the clay stove overnight. After it was fired overnight, he placed it in the sun for a day before it could be used.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around, Xiao's mother boiled water and started cooking mung bean soup.
The mung beans have been soaked overnight and have become swollen. First, boil them together, then simmer over low heat and the mung beans will soon become sandy.
The closer it got to noon, the hotter the weather became. The guests who came to eat noodles were sweating profusely. Xiao's mother took the opportunity to make each of them a bowl of mung bean soup.
Although there are not many mung beans in it, it is also a sign of sincerity.
"It's hot, and you might get a heat stroke. Let's drink some mung bean soup to cool down."
Xiao's mother enthusiastically served a bowl of noodles to each guest who was eating noodles.
The customers were tempted by the sandy mung bean soup, but were afraid of having to pay extra.
Seeing this, Xiao's mother quickly explained:
"This mung bean soup is free, you can drink as much as you want. If it's not enough, just add more. It's not very thick, so don't mind it. It will make you feel more comfortable in this hot weather." Xiao's mother was very good at speaking nice things, and she almost made the guests feel comfortable with her words.
"That's great, boss lady, you really know how to run a business, no wonder you have the most customers."
When they heard it was free, everyone picked up their bowls and started drinking.
This mung bean soup with sand in it tastes very good. In ancient times, sugar was expensive, and people were reluctant to add sugar when cooking porridge at home, so ordinary people did not have the habit of adding sugar to porridge.
This mung bean soup tastes like human touch.
The mung bean soup was ready. Jiang Sui took out the wooden sign that Xiao Yi had written in advance and placed it in the most conspicuous place.
Our store provides mung bean soup for free, and everyone who comes and goes can drink it.
In other words, even if you are not a customer here to eat noodles, you can still drink this mung bean soup.
There were many vendors selling small items next to the stalls. The place they rented was small and there was no tarpaulin. They were all tanned and sweaty.
Seeing this, Jiang Sui took out a bowl of water and scooped a bowl of mung bean soup for each of them.
"You guys are so hot. If you don't mind, have a bowl of mung bean soup to quench your thirst and cool off!"
Jiang Sui's facial features were originally pretty, but he was tortured by his adoptive mother, making him look pale and thin. In the past two months or so, he has eaten well and slept well in the Xiao family, and he has gradually recovered.
Now her complexion is rosy, her skin is fair and tender, and she has gained weight. She has a sweet appearance, with dimples when she smiles. She gives people a feeling that she is kind, harmless and approachable. In short, she is very likable.
Everyone was moved by Jiang Sui’s thoughtfulness. Just imagine, it’s not easy for anyone to make a living under the scorching sun. At this time, someone brings you mung bean soup to quench your thirst. How can you not be touched?
