After working for more than three hours, sweating profusely, I finally cooked the porridge and steamed the buns. It was past six in the morning.
It was just dawn outside. Song Kexia thought it was a bit early to set up the stall, but Wang Guihua thought it was just the right time.
The station was already open at this time, and there must be a lot of people rushing to catch the bus.
Song Kexia was persuaded by her, and the two of them carried two small charcoal stoves, took some buns and porridge, and went to the hospital.
When she got there, she found that someone had already set up a stall and there were customers.
Wang Guihua put down the charcoal stove and started to make a fire. In one charcoal stove, porridge was warmed, and on another charcoal stove, a pot was placed to heat buns.
After helping her finish the things here, Wang Guihua went back to get the goods, carrying the charcoal stove and pot to the station.
On the hospital side, there are many people looking at the products, but no one buying them.
It was still early and everything was quiet. Song Kexia didn't dare to shout out her wares for fear of disturbing the surrounding residents' rest.
People came to buy breakfast from the stalls nearby one after another. A middle-aged woman looked at her and sneered.
"Do you really think business is so easy? You were lucky yesterday, but you may not be so lucky today."
Song Kexia had nothing to refute, because she did sell a lot of things, while her stall still had zero sales.
It just so happened that someone who hadn't bought any braised pork buns yesterday remembered her and came over to ask her, "Comrade, do you sell braised pork buns?"
"In addition to braised pork buns, we also sell vegetable buns and shredded chicken congee."
“Hey, you also sell chicken porridge?”
"Yes, this porridge is made with chicken broth, and it also contains chicken and mushrooms, and comes with pickles. A bowl costs only nine cents.
Auntie, would you like a bowl?"
As she spoke, she lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice wafted out.
The auntie stretched her head to take a look and thought it looked good.
"Okay, give me five braised pork buns and a bowl of porridge."
The aunt handed over the lunch box.
Song Kexia filled a box of porridge for her and asked her, "Auntie, do you want pickles? These pickles are homemade. They are refreshing and delicious. They are best eaten with porridge."
"Okay, give me some."
Song Kexia had already folded oil paper into a small box and put the pickles into the box.
The aunt was very surprised. She thought she would put the pickles directly into the porridge.
"Oh, you're still using oil-paper bags to pack pickles."
"That's not true. If you add pickles when eating, the taste won't change."
"That's very thoughtful of you."
The aunt paid the money very quickly, took the breakfast and left.
She made 69 cents on her first order.
After opening, four or five more orders were placed.
The sky gradually brightened and Li Fangliang finally came over.
Seeing her helping people with buns, I asked, "How's business?"
"Not bad, I've already sold six orders."
She filled a lunch box with porridge and four buns and handed them to Li Fangliang.
"I was busy just now and couldn't go to the hospital to bring food to grandma. Please help deliver these over."
"I haven't eaten yet."
"Come back and eat."
Li Fangliang took the things and left.
After hearing what she said, the people who came to buy breakfast around her had more trust in her.
The things she sells can be used to feed her relatives in the hospital, so they must be good things.
"Girl, give me two braised pork buns."
"Here you go, twenty-four cents."
The man took the bun and took a bite. The meat filling was really delicious.
The people next to him saw him eating with his mouth full of oil, and they were so greedy that they followed him to buy buns.
Nowadays, everyone needs food, and the aroma of meat is the most attractive.
Song Kexia didn't understand why her business suddenly became so good, but she was naturally happy to see that everyone was willing to buy her things.
When Li Fangliang came back, half of her buns had been sold.
"Your business is pretty good."
"It's good."
Song Kexia handed him a bun and asked him to go to Sister Hu's house to deliver the bun.
Li Fangliang ran away quickly while eating buns.
Song Kexia found that more people bought meat buns and fewer people bought vegetable buns.
Fortunately, among the buns they make, four-fifths are braised pork buns and only one-fifth are green bean buns, so they should be able to sell.
Chicken porridge also sells very well, but many people don’t bring lunch boxes and have to go back to get them.
When Li Fangliang brought the buns back, they had all been sold out.
In this way, Song Kexia was responsible for selling goods, and Li Fangliang was responsible for replenishing goods on both sides, running back and forth between the station and the hospital.
By noon, all the goods were sold out. Song Kexia packed up and prepared to go back. She still had to deliver lunch to Old Mrs. Li.
Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze falling on her.
When she looked up, she saw the middle-aged woman who had laughed at her in the morning, looking at her with a gloomy face and full of malice.
Seeing how angry she was, it was as if I was taking money out of her pocket.
Song Kexia turned her head to pack her things and ignored her.
The middle-aged woman saw them packing up their stall, then looked back at her own bun stall, filled with resentment.
She has been doing business here for more than a year and can barely make ends meet.
But I don’t know where this bastard came from, his business is so good that he has taken away all the customers.
They earned at least twenty dollars today, which really pissed her off.
If they didn't come, my business would definitely be better.
Li Fangliang also sensed the hostility in that person and said, "That auntie's eyes are looking at us in a strange way. I'm afraid she will cause trouble."
