Deng Fangping brought two roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) buns, a bowl of chilled mung bean soup, a side dish of vegetables and chili peppers, and served them to Chen Baifu.
Chen Baifu had passed by this place several times and each time he saw people queuing up. He wondered what kind of snack could attract so many customers. But when he went inside and smelled the irresistible aroma, he knew what it was.
But how could he possibly ask to stay for a meal? Even if he really wanted to eat, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
He had just helped Chu Yu, and given their relationship, Chu Yu would certainly not accept his money, which made him even more embarrassed.
However, Deng Fangping was hospitable and pulled him in directly. Chen Baifu thought he would just sit for a while and then leave, but the aroma of the braised pork leg made him drool.
When Deng Fangping brought him the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), he feigned politeness, saying, "I've already had lunch, no need for you to bother."
"Section Chief Chen, why are you being so polite with us? If it weren't for your wife, we wouldn't have been able to rent this place! Business is good right now, treating you to two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) is no problem at all."
Deng Fangping's cheerful personality and her words were comforting, so Chu Yu brought Chen Baifu another bowl of sugar.
Would you like some sugar?
Many people like to add sugar to their mung bean soup.
Chen Baifu didn't refuse again, "Then I won't be polite, please add two spoonfuls of sugar!"
The people in the shop were slurping up mung bean soup and stuffing roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) into their mouths. Their enjoyment was infectious, and Chen Baifu also took a bite of roujiamo. He was so moved by the delicious taste that he almost cried.
I've been eating for nothing all these years! I never knew a meat sandwich could be so delicious. I should have brought my wife and kids to try it too.
The store was getting more and more crowded, and some customers who were just passing by were inexplicably drawn in.
In contrast, the Liao family's business across the street was much worse.
Deng Fangping was initially worried that the Liao family would steal her business, but to her surprise, after getting the electric fan, business not only didn't get worse, but it became even busier than before. Judging from this trend, today's turnover will definitely exceed that of the previous few days!
Deng Fangping and Shu Hui were both exhausted, but fortunately, with two electric fans blowing at the same time, it was much cooler than before.
"Mom, Aunt, how's the electric fan?"
Shu Hui wiped her sweat, a happy smile on her face. She wasn't afraid of hardship or fatigue. Before, when she worked in the fields for the Zhou family, in forty-degree weather, she had to cultivate over ten acres of land all by herself. Her stomach would rumble with hunger, and when she looked at the sun, she wished she could just die. But she couldn't die. Her husband didn't earn any money for the household, and her four children depended on her for support. She worked day and night, just to provide for her children.
Compared to the hard work back then, life now can only be described as blissful. Making roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is hard work, but every penny earned is mine.
The daughter's clothes sell well, and she's also considerate and filial. She gets all the sweetness she never experienced with her husband from her daughter.
"What could be bad about the things you buy?" Shu Hui smiled, pursing her lips.
“Your mom is right, nothing you buy is bad!” Deng Fangping said. “My aunt is just wondering, how come there are so many more guests just because there are two more electric fans? It can’t all be just for cooling off and using the fans, can it?”
This is one of the reasons.
Shujia Roujiamo (Shu Family Roujiamo) shop is located near the department store, which is equivalent to being near the fashion center of Deyang. Roujiamo is a novelty, and many people from the countryside who come to the market have never seen it before. Shujia Roujiamo shop has a novel decoration, and the glass kitchen is a peculiar feature. After shopping, exhausted, and riding home under the scorching sun, it's not unusual for customers to come in, enjoy the breeze, eat a roujiamo, and drink some soup.
But that's not the main reason.
"Aunt, if you want to know why, just go out and experience it for yourself."
Deng Fangping looked suspicious, threw down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands, and went out.
She walked a few steps onto the street, then retreated several dozen meters towards the department store, feeling dazed as she walked. When she approached the Shu Family Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop, she paused for a moment.
Deng Fangping works in the kitchen all day, braising pork leg meat with the same ingredients every day. She has long been desensitized to the aroma of meat, but even so, she can still smell the enticing aroma of meat!
The aroma of meat wafted continuously from the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop, and could be smelled dozens of meters away.
Deng Fangping suddenly realized!
So that's how it is! The electric fan not only cools down the customers, but also spreads the aroma of meat out of the store. In Deyang summers, there's not much wind, so even though the glass kitchen is near the entrance, the aroma is hard to spread.
With the electric fan, things are different. The aroma practically envelops the entire neighborhood, and there's no intention of letting a single customer walk out on an empty stomach!
Deng Fangping couldn't understand how Chu Yu's brain worked; among so many of them, not a single one could come up with this idea.
Liao Xiumei was determined to compete with them, but Chu Yu broke the deadlock with two electric fans. Not only did the business of Shu Family Roujiamo Shop not decline, but it improved. Liao Xiumei probably never dreamed that Chu Yu was their real magic weapon!
Deng Fangping became more and more pleased with herself. When she returned, she was humming a little tune. Seeing that Chen Baifu had finished eating, she happily stuffed a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) into his mouth.
Chen Baifu really couldn't eat anymore. After all, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. Who could eat another roujiamo after eating two roujiamo, two bowls of mung bean soup, and two side dishes?
Chu Yu noticed his predicament and asked Shu Hui to pack five roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) for him, which Chen Baifu naturally declined.
"Uncle Chen, if you can help me buy an electric fan, I'll treat my aunt and sister to roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). It's no big deal, is it? Besides, it's all homemade, so there's hardly any cost. Please don't be shy. Next time my aunt and sister come over, just mention your name, and it'll all be on the house."
Chu Yu was polite and knew how to conduct herself, but Chen Baifu wouldn't actually let his wife and children come over to take advantage of him.
But the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) was really delicious, and he really wanted to bring his wife and kids to try it.
"Thank you very much, Uncle." Chen Baifu thanked her and rode away on his bicycle.
Liao Xiumei found it strange that business was quite good in the morning, but it was significantly worse in the afternoon, as the customers were all taken over by the shops across the street.
"What method do you think they used to lure all the customers away?" From a distance, Liu Chunhua couldn't see the electric fan in the Shu family's shop, but she knew that the Shu family's business was exceptionally good today, so good that all the customers who entered the Liao family's shop were lured to the other side.
Liu Chunhua was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
"Sister, business is even worse today than yesterday. You need to think of something."
Liao Xiumei never expected that she would run into trouble after only one day of gloating.
If you want to know why the Shu family's business is so good, it's not difficult. Just invite someone over for a meal and you'll understand.
Ji Kai's batch of clothes was transported by train on a passing train. When the train arrived at the station, only the goods were unloaded, not the passengers. Chu Yu needed to go to the train station to pick up the goods in person.
Chu Yu was wondering where to find a car to pick up the goods at the train station.
An SUV stopped right in front of her.
The wild and untamed man lit a cigarette and looked at her through the glass window.
"Comrade, I haven't seen my girlfriend for several days. She's about as pretty as you. Do you know where she is?"
