Chapter 275 Come Back Tomorrow
The daughter-in-law swallowed her saliva and said helplessly: "Mom, please stop talking, my saliva is flowing out." Then she turned around and walked out, and said: "Mom, put the bowl aside after eating, I will wash it later."
"Okay, go to sleep first. It's just a bowl, why should you come and wash it?"
…
Business at the braised pork stall was over, and Ye Qian had He Jun push her cart over to the night market to reserve a spot. Even before the items were laid out, people started lining up in groups of two or three. Yesterday's items sold out so quickly that many people didn't know what they were selling, and they started asking curiously, "Hey, classmate, what are you selling? Why are there so many people lining up?"
He Jun said, "Today we're selling double-skin milk and orange juice. If you bring a bowl, you can take it away. If you don't, you can drink it here."
"What is double skin milk? I have never heard of it, and your price is not cheap." Someone asked curiously.
When the person in line saw someone asking, he interrupted and said, "I've had this double skin milk in BJ before. It was 10 times more expensive than this, but the taste is not much different from this place. I had a bowl there yesterday. Look, I brought a bowl here today." The person in the line raised the bowl in his hand after he said this.
Someone was getting impatient and asked, "Is it not ready yet? I've been waiting in line for a while."
He Jun looked across the street and happened to see Zhang Yunyun coming over with tools, so he said to everyone, "Here they come. Those who have bowls, open them."
He Jun took the tools from Zhang Yunyun, opened the lid of the barrel containing double skin milk in the car, and started selling it.
Everyone's lunch boxes were relatively large. Seeing that He Jun only took a spoonful and didn't fill it up, he said with some dissatisfaction: "We filled ours up when we drank yesterday, but you only have half a bowl."
Ye Qian came over and said to everyone, "What kind of bowls are we selling? What kind of bowls are you holding? You only charge so little for such a big bowl. Are you trying to cheat us out of money? And this spoonful is not enough for us." Ye Qian took the spoon from He Jun's hand, shook a spoonful and put it into her own bowl. The bowl couldn't hold it all, so there was some left. She handed it to everyone to see, "See? I've given you too much. It's not possible for me to fill the bowl you brought to get this amount. Do you want me to fill it up for you if you bring a bucket?"
Everyone agreed that Ye Qian was right and nodded. Ye Qian seized the opportunity and said, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss in this regard. We still have to have integrity in doing business."
Ye Qian put down the big spoon in her hand and gave a small spoonful of red beans to the person in front of her. After handing it over, she said, "Come, pay the bill this way."
The man paid the money with some embarrassment and left with his companions. The small business of the stall was not affected by this little incident and was still booming. After selling the first bucket of double skin milk, Ye Qian, who was about to go back to get the second bucket, saw Wang Qiong and the other two returning.
Seeing the three of them smiling, Ye Qian asked, "What's wrong? It seems like the conversation went well."
The three of them walked into the store with Ye Qian and chattered to her, "Yeah, 1,500 of them with logos, only a little over 500 for a total of that. What a bargain."
"It's just over 500, but you're so arrogant." Wang Qiong wanted to tease Liu Yubing when she heard what she said.
Liu Yubing also felt that he had made a lot of money recently and was indeed a little arrogant. He smiled apologetically and said, "Hehe, I'll shut up and you guys talk."
"I've told the factory manager to send us 100 of each type per week so we can use them first," said Wang Qiong.
Ye Qian nodded: "Yes, we can use it first."
"Why don't you take a rest first? The first bucket over there has been sold out. I'll send this over. Luckily we made two buckets today, otherwise they wouldn't be enough to sell." After saying that, they hurried to the kitchen to get the second bucket. The three of them were a little excited and didn't need to rest at all. They quickly ran to the kitchen to help Ye Qian. Seeing them coming to help, Ye Qian didn't say anything. After handing it over to the three of them, she went to the warehouse at the back to get a few cans of red bean and coconut fruit and went across with everyone.
After delivering the things to be sold, I remembered: "We have already eaten dinner. The dinner for you is warming in the stove. Even if you don't rest, you still have to eat."
The three of them were already hungry in the car, but seeing how busy everyone was, they were too embarrassed to ask. When Ye Qian brought it up, they couldn't hold back any longer. They hurried back to the braised meat shop, took out their bowls, and took a few deep breaths of the aroma. "It smells so good! This is what I've been waiting for."
A man took a bowl of rice, grabbed a small stool, sat at the door and began to eat, mouthful after mouthful. The braised pork rice was in limited supply, and many people hadn't bought any. Seeing someone eating at the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this braised pork rice still available?"
"No more, this is the dinner left for us." Liu Yubing explained quickly, fearing that others would misunderstand her, but this one sentence made passers-by envious, "Working in a braised meat shop and being able to eat braised meat rice, this treatment is really good." After saying that, she endured the aroma and turned to leave, fearing that if she left a step late, she would snatch the food from their hands out of jealousy before distributing it to them.
The three of them smiled at each other, and had the same thought in their minds. Yes, the treatment is really good, they never dared to imagine it before.
At the night market, a new bucket of double skin milk was put on. Looking at the people queuing up, Ye Qian shouted, "Don't queue so long. If you can't buy it today, come back tomorrow. There aren't that many left. Don't waste your time." But the number of people behind her continued to increase. Ye Qian was helpless. It was too late to make more. Two buckets a day was already a lot.
And she also understood that the business was so good now because of the novelty. People had never tasted it before and wanted to try it. After a while, it would not be so tight. By then, the weather would be a little warmer, and it would be just right to switch to jelly. Ye Qian was not worried that no one would buy it because of the school holidays. After all, communication was not well developed now. It took a long time to go to a place, and tickets were hard to buy and expensive. It would be better to stay here and work during this time. It was all good.
But there is still a month before the holiday, so it’s too early to say these things.
Seeing that there was not much left in the second bucket of double skin milk, Ye Qian quickly persuaded the people behind her: "Don't queue up anymore, it's all gone. Come back tomorrow, everyone."
Everyone murmured in disappointment: "Ah~! We've been queuing for ages. Are they really sold out?" "Really? If they were, wouldn't I still sell them? In this weather, they'll go bad if left overnight. Come earlier tomorrow and prepare more. Sorry, everyone."
During this conversation, He Jun had already finished the last few bowls, put down the spoon, and said, "I'm so tired."
