"Ah! Is it really you?"
Just as she finished speaking, the eldest sister's eyebrows suddenly lit up.
Ye Yun: “?”
"Oh! I am an old customer of yours! I tried your mung bean cake once when I went back to my mother's home. Later, I couldn't find the taste of your mung bean cake in the city. Now, you have opened a store in the city. That's great!" The eldest sister changed the subject and laughed heartily.
Ye Yun: “…”
So that's it.
Judging from her attitude just now, if you didn't know better, you would think that they came together to cause trouble.
What a coincidence, isn’t it?
Ye Yun didn't say much nonsense, and shouted to Tian Xiaohui inside: "Xiaohui, we met an old customer, give this lady a few green bean cakes for free!"
Tian Xiaohui responded quickly.
"Oh, no, no! We are here to buy mung bean cakes. You are already losing money by selling them at half price. I can't let you lose money again, right?" The elder sister said with a smile.
Tian Xiaohui was quick and had already packed a bag of mung bean cakes and handed it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun stuffed the mung bean cake into her elder sister's hand and said with a smile: "Elder sister, thank you for coming to support my business. Today is my first day doing business in the city. Please take it!"
"Thank you, thank you..."
The elder sister was so happy that she shouted to the customers who came to buy the mung bean cakes: "You made the right decision by buying her mung bean cakes. The mung bean cakes in the whole city are not as delicious as hers!"
She was a loud speaker, causing everyone in the store to laugh.
Almost everyone in the neighborhood knows each other. After hearing her neighbor’s call, and considering that the mung bean cakes were really cheap during the promotion, they all ordered some and paid the bill with Tian Xiaohui.
This is not to flatter Ye Yun.
It is said that the master chef who taught her how to make pastries was his ancestors who served people in the palace, and that his skills were passed down from the imperial kitchen.
The thin noodle dumplings are not much worse.
City dwellers like them have had enough of steamed corn bread, and it is impossible to eat white flour steamed buns every day, so steamed corn bread made of fine flour has become their new favorite, and more people are buying it.
Many other desserts were also sold out.
Gu Jin watched as bags of half-price mung bean cakes and desserts were packed up and sold, and he gasped in pain.
"Ye Yun, aren't you afraid of losing money by doing this?"
Moreover, it is half price for three days.
Ye Yun smiled.
Price is not her goal. Her new store has just opened, and what she wants is not to make money, but customer flow. What she needs to do now is to get more people into the store, so that more people can taste the flavor of her mung bean cake and remember it forever.
As long as the pastries are delicious, why worry that they won’t come back to buy them?
Besides.
Even if it’s half price, she won’t lose money, she’ll just make less.
The mung bean cakes were selling like hot cakes, which made the nearby bun shops jealous. They wondered how a mung bean cake could be selling so well.
What they didn’t know was that Ye Yun sold more than just mung bean cakes on the first day of opening.
Her shop sells more than just mung bean cakes.
Because the business was so booming, Ye Yun did not open the back room on the first day. It was not until the afternoon of the second day that she told the children who came to buy cakes after school that they could read and do homework in the back room.
If they go home so early, they may not have a good environment to do their homework.
Reading books costs one cent, and it’s free if you buy dessert.
After buying desserts and pastries, the students heard what was going on inside and saw the clean and tidy environment and the books in the large bookcase. They all paid a deposit to Ye Yun and went in together.
Some were reading, some were doing homework, and the sounds of writing and turning pages were harmonious.
As for whether there would be those naughty and noisy kids, Ye Yun was well prepared, and the fifty-cent deposit in her hand was not to be used to make a profit.
Everything seems to be on the right track.
It was not until the third night that Ye Yun seriously counted the expenses of the past three days.
The income is quite small.
Gu Jin said: "I don't know if this method will work. Business is hard to do. What if those people just take advantage of the first three days?"
Without waiting for Ye Yun to speak, Tian Xiaohui said dissatisfiedly: "Can you think of something good? How can anyone be like you, always pouring cold water on others! Everything is difficult at the beginning. You say such sarcastic words when you just start doing business. People like you are the most afraid of doing business!"
Gu Jin quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't say any more..."
Ye Yun just smiled and said nothing.
Her goal in the first three days was not to make money, as long as she didn't lose money.
Soon it was time to cook the new dish in the pot. She pushed the banknotes in her hand forward and let Tian Xiaohui count them first, then got up and went into the kitchen.
This time she cooked the mung beans.
If we were to ask which small business is the most profitable in later generations, it would definitely be beverages.
Now her shop has prepared almost all kinds of edible pastries, but she is short of drinks. She can't let those who come to read and rest drink plain water all the time.
Summer is coming, and there is nothing more refreshing than drinking mung bean soup.
"Hey, why are you protecting her like this?" Seeing Ye Yun leaving, Gu Jin turned and moved closer to Tian Xiaohui.
Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him, "If I don't protect my sister-in-law, how can I protect you?"
Tsk, the way you call sister-in-law sounds quite intimate.
Gu Jin glanced at Qin Zheng who was working in the yard, and said meaningfully: "I remember, don't you like your brother Qin Zheng?"
Tian Xiaohui was stunned and even forgot to count the large stack of banknotes in her hand.
For a long while, she stared at Gu Jin's half-smiley face, and gritted her teeth in anger as she squeezed out a sentence: "Are you sick?"
"Hahaha……"
Gu Jin stopped teasing her and ran to look at Qin Zheng who was working hard to turn the soil with a gloating look on his face.
The land in the yard was extremely hard and could be turned over to grow vegetables. At this moment, Qin Zheng was turning the soil with a shovel, sweating profusely. Every time he turned the soil, the veins on his arms bulged, filled with strength.
Gu Jin thought that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do such rough work.
In the kitchen, the mung bean cakes in the pot had been cooked into a sandy state. Ye Yun bent down, scooped them out with a spoon, put them in an iron basin, poured in a large amount of boiled water that had already cooled, added a little sugar to sweeten it, stirred it evenly, and served them out in bowls.
"Come on! It's time for mung bean soup!"
Tian Xiaohui was counting the banknotes when the mung bean soup fell beside her. Her eyes lit up, and she put down the banknotes in her hand and looked at Ye Yun excitedly: "Sister-in-law, have you made something new again?"
"Here." Ye Yun smiled and pushed a bowl of mung bean soup in front of her.
Tian Xiaohui picked it up without hesitation, tilted her head back, and a big bowl of mung bean soup went into her stomach with a "gulp".
Then she put the bowl down and burped with great satisfaction: "Burp!"
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh, "How is it?"
“Delicious!”
Tian Xiaohui looked at Qin Zheng who was busy beside her, "Brother Qin Zheng! Come and drink the mung bean soup!"
Qin Zheng didn't call over.
Instead, Gu Jin came over without any hesitation.
Qin Zheng glanced over here and Ye Yun walked towards him with a bowl of mung bean soup.
Just then, a cool night breeze blew, carrying with it the sweet aroma of mung bean soup, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, all his tiredness was gone, and the only thing left in his eyes was Ye Yun's approaching figure.
"young married woman……"
