When Zhou Cuilan arrived at the dumpling shop, there was already a customer sitting in the shop eating dumplings.
Most of these customers were passing by and were attracted by the gimmick of free bone and kelp soup.
Some people originally wanted to eat at a state-owned restaurant, but saw a new dumpling shop opened and the pork bone and kelp soup tasted very delicious, so they wanted to try the food in this new shop.
Once I tasted it, it was delicious.
The taste is really good, much better than the dumplings in state-owned restaurants.
Not only is the free soup delicious, but the two cents plate of salad is also very refreshing and goes perfectly with dumplings.
Seeing that there were people in the store so early, Zhou Cuilan was happy for Li Shuping. What Liu Mingxiang said was completely untrue.
"Sister Li, good luck with your opening. May your business be booming." Zhou Cuilan walked over to the serving counter and congratulated Li Shuping who was cooking dumplings inside.
Li Shuping cupped her hands and thanked him, "Thank you, thank you for coming to support us. What kind of dumplings do you want to eat? It's written on the blackboard. Today, the big bone and kelp soup is free. If you come to eat it, I will give you a small cold dish."
Zhou Cuilan: Is the kelp soup made from pork bones free? Sister Li is really generous.
No wonder the business is so good. She had heard people say before that people who do business should be generous. If they are too stingy, their business will not last long.
Zhou Cuilan looked at the blackboard and found that the price of the dumplings was still the same as when she was selling them at the stall.
The egg-filled dumplings are still 30 cents, and the pork-filled ones are 10 cents cheaper than the beef-filled dumplings we sold before.
"I want an order of emerald cabbage dumplings." The dumplings look delicious.
Li Shuping: "Okay, find a seat and sit down. The dumplings will be ready soon."
Li Shuping brought Zhou Cuilan a plate of smashed cucumbers. After the dumplings were cooked, Qin Ye brought them to the table along with the soup.
Zhou Cuilan's eyes lit up when she saw the big bone with meat on it in the soup bowl.
This bone and kelp soup is so delicious, it even contains real big bones.
Zhou Cuilan took a sip of the soup first and it tasted delicious.
Take a bite of the smashed cucumber, it’s crispy.
Have another big dumpling, fresh and fragrant.
The meat filling comes with soup, mixed with the deliciousness of pork and the sweetness of cabbage.
Sure enough, this dumpling still needs meat.
"This is it, Li Ji Jiao."
Teacher Wang walked to the door of the dumpling shop with an old neighbor, looked up at the sign above the door and said.
Li Shuping, who was cooking dumplings in the kitchen, saw that it was an old customer who came, so she handed the dumplings she was cooking to Qin Rong and went out to greet the customer.
"Hey, Teacher Wang, you are here, please take a seat over here." Li Shuping arranged an empty table for the six people, which was just enough to seat six people.
"Comrade Shuping, you are so unkind. You didn't even tell us that you opened a dumpling shop. If we hadn't met Comrade Zhou who sells tea eggs, we wouldn't have known about it."
"That's right. We have been thinking about your dumplings for a long time. How could you not inform us old customers when you opened a dumpling shop?"
Li Shuping apologized repeatedly, "It's my fault, it's my fault. In addition to the free bone soup given away at the opening, I will also give you a plate of cold dishes."
Teacher Wang glared and said, "We don't want to eat the cold dishes you gave us for free. We have money, we can buy them ourselves."
When she opened this shop, she saw that the rent was not cheap, and she spent a lot of money on decoration and purchase of things.
The price of these dumplings has not increased yet, it is the same as before.
Even though I'm an old customer and have some respect with her, I can't eat her food for free.
"that is……"
Others followed suit.
Li Shuping smiled, "Then take a look at what dumplings you want to eat. Today we have emerald cabbage dumplings, which are stuffed with pork, as well as mushroom pork dumplings, leek egg dumplings, and fennel egg dumplings."
"The cold dishes include spinach with vermicelli, spicy tofu shreds, fungus and cucumber."
Teacher Wang looked at the old neighbors and said, "How about two plates of dumplings with different fillings, spinach with vermicelli and spicy shredded tofu?"
"become."
There are dumplings with different fillings. If we order two plates, it only makes eight plates, which is enough for the six of us.
The cold dishes and soup were served first. As old customers, they also had a piece of bone with meat in their kelp bone soup.
Seeing that such good bone soup was given away for free, Teacher Wang was worried that Li Shuping would lose money.
The bone soup was delicious, and the cold dishes were also tasty. By the time the dumplings were served, the two cold dishes had been eaten.
Teacher Wang also added a dish of cold-mixed black fungus and smashed cucumber. I originally thought that the cold dishes of this dumpling restaurant might not be very good, so I ordered two. I didn't expect that the taste was as good as that of the state-owned restaurant.
Eating dumplings of different flavors at once made Teacher Wang and others very happy.
When paying, he kept praising the taste and said he would bring his family to eat there again in the evening and would come often in the future.
This place is farther from the alley entrance where I set up my stall before, but walking a few more steps can be regarded as exercise before meals and help digestion after meals.
It was past 1:30, and even though the afternoon was over, all the customers in the store had left.
Li Shuping cooked three bowls of dumplings and packed two cold dishes, and the three of them had a makeshift lunch.
"How much did we sell at noon?" Qin Rong asked while eating dumplings.
Qin Ye: "At noon, a total of 29 people came into the store. We sold 10 servings of dumplings with egg filling and 22 servings of dumplings with meat filling."
Some people thought the meal was delicious and not enough, so they ordered another one.
Li Shuping and Qin Rong looked at each other and looked at Qin Ye in surprise. How come this kid has such a good memory?
"I sold one serving of spinach vermicelli, two servings of spicy shredded tofu, two servings of cold-mixed black fungus, and three servings of smashed cucumber."
"Qin Ye, what's wrong with your brain? How can you remember it so clearly?" Qin Rong asked.
Qin Ye pursed his lips and said, "I just have a better memory."
Li Shuping: "You are doing better. You are almost as good as the most powerful brain."
"...You are such a smart kid, it's a pity not to go to school, why don't you go to school?"
If you have a talent for learning and want to go to school, Li Shuping can be a sponsor.
Of course, if you are admitted to university and succeed, these aids must be repaid.
Qin Ye shook his head, "I don't want to go to school."
When I dropped out of junior high school, I really didn't want to drop out, and I hoped to go back to school one day.
But so much time has passed, and I no longer have such extravagant hopes. Now I want to make money.
"Do you not want to go to school because you don't like it, or do you not want to go to school because you don't have money?" Li Shuping asked.
"If I don't have money..."
"I don't like going to school." Qin Ye stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth and stood up. "Aunt Li, I'm done eating. I'm going to the village to collect the goods first."
After saying that, he took the bowl he had finished eating to the kitchen to wash it, then went out with the money given by Li Shuping.
Qin Rong looked at Qin Ye's back as he disappeared at the door and said, "When Qin Ye and his father first moved into Yard 23, he had not dropped out of school. But Qin Dashan only knew how to drink and didn't find a job. The family's money was all drunk, and they couldn't pay the tuition, so the child had to drop out of school to support the family."
"I remember that a teacher came to my house and persuaded me to go back to school! My academic performance should have been pretty good before. But after dropping out of school for so long and hanging out outside for so long, I probably don't have the desire to study anymore."
"Alas, such a smart child was ruined by that father."
Li Shuping nodded in agreement.
