The alarm clock rang at 4:10 the next day.
He Wenlin was too tired to get up, so she stayed in bed for ten minutes before waking her father up.
This time, He's father didn't hold her back; He Wenlin called out to him, and he got up immediately.
After washing up, the father and daughter went to the shop immediately.
We arrived at the store at 4:45.
There were many orders for glutinous rice this morning, so He Wenlin and her father not only cooked glutinous rice in two large pots, but also in three small pots.
Then they went to the farmers' market together. He Wenlin took her father to Mr. Guo's place first and introduced him to Mr. Guo.
"Mr. He, you have a good daughter," Mr. Guo said with a laugh. "I really envy you. My two daughters are always asking for money."
"Not at all, the child is just a young kid. Please take good care of him in the future, Mr. Guo."
"Please take good care of me, Boss He."
"Uncle Guo, give me a box of chicken gizzards and a box of chicken wings." After saying that, He Wenlin counted out 76 yuan and gave it to him.
After receiving the money, Boss Guo quickly moved the chicken wings and gizzards out and put them in He Wenlin's car.
"Uncle Guo, we still need to buy other groceries, so we'll be going now."
Mr. Guo said to their retreating figures, "May your business prosper."
...
Before the disposable goods store opened, He Wenlin took her father to a familiar vegetable store and bought 30 jin of carrots, a box of eggs, 15 jin each of ginger and chili peppers, 5 jin each of scallions and garlic, 30 jin of cucumbers, 30 jin of lotus root, 15 jin of bean sprouts, 10 jin of water spinach, 15 jin of eggplant, and 25 jin of green beans, for a total of 210 yuan.
Same as always, the restaurant owner delivers the vegetables, and I pay upon delivery.
"We only sell a box of vegetables for 2.8 yuan, so we usually have to offer a mix of meat and vegetables. Our customers are all regulars, so we can't cook the same dishes every day. We don't buy inferior or rotten meat and vegetables. We can't be cheap. We want to do business for the long term. We can't ruin our reputation by being greedy for short-term gains. It's easy to ruin your reputation, but it's very difficult to recover it..."
On the way back, He Wenlin, like a nagging monk, kept giving her father instructions.
Mr. He retorted, "Do you even need to tell me? Do I look like the kind of person who would give someone bad food just to save money?"
"It would be even better if you knew."
I got back to the store at 5:15.
After Mr. He and the vegetable shop owner finished unloading the goods, Lin Fei also got up.
Lin Fei peeled the potatoes, He Wenlin washed the water spinach and bean sprouts, and He's father shredded the potatoes.
This morning, Dad He stir-fried the shredded potatoes.
At six o'clock, all the shredded potatoes were ready.
The glutinous rice was ready a long time ago; it had cooled down enough to wrap.
There are many breakfast orders today, so they need to pack them up early, otherwise they won't have enough time.
"Dad, could you cook us a few servings of fried noodles first, so we can familiarize ourselves with what we did last night?"
"OK."
Dad washed the pot and turned on the stove.
After the stir-fried noodles were ready, He's mother, He Shan, her younger brother, and Ruan Lingfeng all arrived.
He Wenlin and Lin Fei still needed to make glutinous rice balls, so they ate first.
Then, Mr. He stir-fried noodles for the others as well.
Ruan Lingfeng is now with them every day and has gradually started to try eating a little bit of chili, so Dad He also stir-fried some noodles for him, but with less chili.
After finishing a plate of fried noodles, Ruan Lingfeng drank two glasses of water.
At 6:30, He Wenlin, Ruan Lingfeng, Lin Fei, and He's father made glutinous rice balls together.
More people are ordering glutinous rice in the morning, and fewer people are ordering fried rice noodles, so there are hardly any fried rice noodles or egg fried rice in the morning.
Around seven o'clock, the store started to get crowded.
The glutinous rice balls were almost all wrapped up. He Wenlin asked Ruan Lingfeng to go outside and distribute the food, while He's mother and He Shan wrote down the orders.
At 7:15, Ruan Lingfeng rode his bicycle to Hongda and the shirt factory to deliver goods.
All the glutinous rice balls have been packed up.
At 7:25, He's mother handed her bag and receipt book to He Wenlin, who was rushing to work.
By 7:30, the store was completely empty.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There were still eight glutinous rice balls left in the insulated truck.
When Boss Liu came to deliver meat and pig's blood, He Wenlin gave him one to eat, and now there are seven left.
He Wenlin said to everyone in the room, "Is there anyone who hasn't eaten yet? Come and eat, or it will be a waste."
"I want to eat one." Lin Fei and his younger brother each took one and ate it.
Dad also took one to eat.
He Wenlin: "Lingfeng, boys should have big appetites, you should have one too. Shanshan, aren't you going to eat?"
He Shan shook her head: "You guys eat, I'm full."
“Lingfeng, take the rest back for your dad, your grandma, and your sister. This stuff can’t be kept until noon or evening to sell. It’s a waste to let it go to waste. Take it back and eat it.”
Ruan Lingfeng didn't hesitate, said thank you, and took it back without hesitation.
He lives nearby, so I sent him back, and he came right away.
Ruan Lingfeng said to He Wenlin, "I forgot to mention earlier, Peng Liang asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that the cooperation will continue and he has it all sorted out."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work today."
Ruan Lingfeng didn't know what Peng Liang meant, but He Wenlin and everyone else who had been busy last night understood.
"Linlin, quickly take the money out of your bag and count it. Let's take stock of the orders we received this morning." Mr. He was a little impatient.
In the past, He Wenlin and her friends' favorite thing to do every day was to count money.
Seeing a pile of bills gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
Now that we've counted so many, the excitement, anticipation, and excitement we felt at the beginning are gone.
