"Crackling and popping..."
Firecrackers exploded, and red paper scraps flew everywhere with the smoke, signaling the opening of the "Waiting for You" breakfast shop.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian's two days of distributing flyers were quite effective; many people came one after another early in the morning.
There is a prominent price list for breakfast items on the walls on both sides of the shop. Customers can see it as soon as they enter, and they don't even need to ask the price. They know how much to pay for what they buy.
Zhou Cailian was busy greeting customers, collecting money and giving change, and quickly clearing the table after the customers finished eating. She was running around like a headless chicken, but fortunately nothing serious went wrong.
Cui Yinhua and Fu Daying both brought their families, as did Zhang Yuping and Song Baohuan, Huang Xiasheng's family, and Deng Baifu's family who renovated the shop.
None of the families came empty-handed. Fu Daying's family brought a pair of thermos flasks, Cui Yinhua brought a wall clock, Zhang Yuping brought two bags of flour, and Huang Xiasheng and Deng Baifu brought flower baskets.
The Qin family also came, bringing six flower baskets and along with relatives and friends to show their support.
The store became incredibly lively, attracting many passersby who came specifically to see what was going on.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian were too busy to handle everything at once, so Zhang Yuping, Fu Daying, and Cui Yinhua helped out for a while. Qin Yang also helped collect money and greet customers.
When people who knew Qin Yang came to have breakfast, they saw him collecting money and thought it was a breakfast shop owned by the Qin family.
"Oh? Officer Qin, is this your breakfast shop?"
"No, it's run by an elder's family," Qin Yang replied.
The man nodded. "Oh, it's run by a relative."
Qin Yang didn't explain. After working for a while and having breakfast, he said goodbye to Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian and went to the police station, as it was almost time for him to go to work.
Jiang Shuhe also had to go to work. After bringing her relatives and friends to support her, she left. Qin Xiuwu had voluntarily resigned after that near-accident. Qin Yang and Jiang Shuhe wouldn't let him go to work anymore, so he was very free every day. Therefore, he didn't rush back and stayed at the store to help out.
Yu Qiuying was busy in the kitchen. She didn't expect that fried rice noodles and fried rice vermicelli would be so popular. Most of the customers ate these two kinds of breakfast.
Steamed buns and mantou sold reasonably well, half of the tea eggs were sold, and not much porridge was sold. However, Yu Qiuying didn't cook much porridge last night, since it's digested too quickly and doesn't keep you full for long.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian were busy until nine o'clock before they could finally take a breather.
They haven't even had breakfast yet, nor have they had a sip of water.
Seeing that no more guests had arrived, Qin Xiuwu told them to quickly eat something, "You two have some breakfast and rest for a while."
"I'm not hungry at all." Zhou Cailian felt full after drinking a large glass of water and was covered in sweat.
"Comrade Qin, thank you so much for today. I didn't get to properly entertain you earlier, and I'm sorry to have troubled you and Xiao Qin with your help." Yu Qiuying felt a little guilty. The Qin family had brought so many relatives and friends to show their support, but she hadn't been able to properly entertain them. Instead, she had to ask Qin Xiuwu and Qin Yang to help out for a while.
"You're being too polite. Don't thank me or say it's too much trouble. You're my great benefactor. It's nothing for us to help you with this little thing. Don't say things like that again," Qin Xiuwu said, feigning anger.
Yu Qiuying laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. There's nothing else going on here. You should go back and rest for a while. You've been tired all morning."
Qin Xiuwu wasn't tired, but since there were no guests coming, he, a grown man, couldn't stay any longer, so he went back.
Yu Qiuying rested for a while, ate a bowl of porridge and a tea egg, and then suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to take out the dried radish she brought from home for the guests to try.
Honestly, how could I have forgotten about that?
They brought two jars of dried radish with them when they came; the rest were in her spatial storage. However, it wasn't appropriate to just take them out like that. If she did, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Cailian when she asked.
When I have some free time later, I'll have to buy some radishes and make some more to cover it up. Sigh, having a space is convenient, but I always have to sneak around and avoid Cailian.
However, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't possibly tell Cailian about the space. It wasn't a matter of trust; the thing was just too unbelievable. Better safe than sorry, she would never let anyone else know about it except herself.
After resting for a while, Yu Qiuying said to Zhou Cailian, "Cailian, tidy up the table and the floor. I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."
The two divided the work and got busy until after ten o'clock.
Everything that needed washing was washed, everything that needed wiping was wiped clean, the floor was mopped, and the toilets were cleaned. The shop was clean and tidy again.
