Chapter 132 The breakfast business is on track!
Since Tong Xiayue had already decorated the house before the Ji family came, they didn't need to prepare anything after they arrived. They just packed up and moved in. This would be their home from now on.
Tong Xiayue saw that everyone was ready and began to discuss the distribution of work with her family.
Ji Jiamu and Ji Jialin followed Boss Kong to be responsible for picking up and delivering goods. Of course, this number of people was not enough, and the people who had worked with Boss Kong before all joined in.
Now that the breakfast business has been added, the kitchen in Dajia Lane alone is no longer able to meet the demand, so Tong Xiayue discussed using the kitchen in the courtyard to make breakfast.
This way, there is no need to find another place, and breakfast can be prepared early, which will not delay the family's use of the kitchen later.
No one objected, so breakfast was arranged to be prepared in the courtyard.
Zhang Cuihua and Tong Xiayue were pregnant and could not do heavy work, so they were responsible for all aspects of cooking, and Zhao Qian was responsible for purchasing breakfast ingredients.
Kong Lao Da and his team were already very busy in purchasing brine ingredients every day, so the purchase of ingredients needed for breakfast was handed over to Zhao Qian.
In fact, it was mainly the first purchase. Zhao Qian grew up in the countryside and was very familiar with the freshness of the ingredients. In one morning, she had booked several shops that needed to pick up goods later.
She was also smart at work. After picking out the dishes, she asked people to deliver the ordered wild vegetables to the courtyard at three o'clock in the morning every day, so that she could save the time of going to the vegetable market every day.
Pork was also delivered every day, and the money was paid after it was delivered. Because the quantity was relatively large, these vegetable vendors were also happy to do it.
Just like that, the breakfast business was on the right track!
Tong Xiayue saw how efficient Zhao Qian was and praised her for her efficiency! I
didn't realize she was so good at work when I was in Yangliu Village before. It's better to come to the big city. There are more opportunities for me to show my skills and find my own value!
Since it was the first day of breakfast business, Boss Kong was a little worried whether Tong Xiayue could handle it, so he rushed to the courtyard in the early morning to see if there was anything he could help with.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he smelled a burst of fragrance coming from the Ji family...
Boss Kong laughed at himself in his heart for underestimating Tong Xiayue's ability. This woman is really scary!
He came to the courtyard and saw that everyone was busy. Ji Jiamu and Ji Jialin were busy putting the prepared breakfast and the steamer into the customized wooden barrel, and pouring all the ground soy milk into another barrel. It was full of stuff for two tricycles! Fortunately,
he had managed to get two tricycles before, otherwise there would be too much space!
After all, it was the first day of making breakfast, and the two pregnant women still helped together with their bulging bellies. Tong Xiayue saw Boss Kong and smiled, "You're here?"
Boss Kong gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome! I was afraid you couldn't handle it, so I came to help!"
Tong Xiayue: "Next time if you want to help, come earlier!"
Boss Kong joked, "I will definitely come earlier tomorrow!"
After breakfast was ready, Tong Xiayue brought the breakfast that had been reserved to the table. It was so early in the morning and everyone had not had time to eat breakfast yet.
Tong Xiayue put the soup dumpling in front of Boss Kong and said with a smile: "Try it."
Boss Kong had seen steamed buns before, but he had never seen such small ones. He asked curiously: "What kind of steamed bun is this? Why is it so small? It's not even enough for me to eat in one bite!"
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said: "Try to taste it and see how it tastes."
Boss Kong had just put the steamed bun to his mouth when he heard Ji Xiaoni's voice: "This is not how you eat it! Be careful of the burn!"
Zhao Qian turned around and looked at Tong Xiayue looked at the sleepy girl and smiled, "Why are you awake so early?"
Ji Xiaoni ran to sit next to Zhao Qian and said, "I smell the food and I'm hungry..."
Tong Xiayue handed her a soup bag and smiled, "Little greedy cat!"
Ji Xiaoni looked at Boss Kong who was sitting next to her and said seriously, "Watch how I eat!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Ji Xiaoni imitating what Tong Xiayue taught her before and acting like a little adult.
Ji Xiaoni: "Look, put the soup dumpling in the bowl, then poke a hole with chopsticks. Do you see the hot steam? If you bite it directly, you will be burned to death! You have to sizzle it, then drink the soup, like this, do you see? Finally, eat the bun! Try it!"
Everyone found it funny to see her teaching in a very professional way. Boss Kong seemed to have really received an education and ate it like her.
After blowing the soup dumpling to cool it, he drank a mouthful of the soup from the bowl...
It was indeed another day that he was conquered by Tong Xiayue's cooking skills!
He put the bun into his mouth with one bite!
Boss Kong said exaggeratedly: "Sister! Where did you learn this skill? How can you make it so delicious? Each bite is so satisfying! I think your breakfast will be very popular tomorrow!"
The Ji family members didn't think he was joking. In fact, their sister-in-law's breakfast is very popular in the towns around them. No matter how much they take out every day, they can sell it all. As long as it is her skill, there is no need to worry about sales! After
breakfast, Ji Jiamu and Ji Jialin transported the goods to the button factory with Boss Kong. The goods were well packaged and they were not cold when they arrived at the factory.
The kitchen there received a notice early in the morning to pick up the goods early. Of course they were happy, because they didn't have to make breakfast and it was ready!
After handing the things over to the kitchen, everyone left, thinking of coming back the next day to ask for feedback.
As a result...
in the evening, when Boss Kong led people to deliver brine, he was stopped by the factory manager again: "Boss Kong!" Boss
Kong: "Factory manager? What's wrong?"
The factory manager smiled and said, "Oh, who is your chef? How come his cooking skills are so good! Don't you know that the breakfast you delivered today is not enough to sell!"
Boss Kong was shocked and said, "What? Not enough to sell? But we made a lot more!"
The factory manager said helplessly, "Yeah, I was thinking of coming to check it out this morning too. How was your breakfast? As soon as I arrived at the canteen, I was told that everything was sold out... But a worker gave me two buns. They were so delicious! No wonder there wasn't enough to share!"
Boss Kong asked, "So how much do you have to make?"
The factory manager smiled and said, "I estimate it will take double the amount, but be prepared. The factory next door doesn't know that your breakfast is delicious. If they knew, they would probably ask you to make it, and then it wouldn't be double the amount..."
Boss Kong looked helpless. It seems that too good business is not a good thing...
How can Tong Xiayue be so busy, and she is pregnant!
It seems that we still have to think of a way later!
Boss Kong told Tong Xiayue the news when he returned. Zhao Qian and the others were also in trouble after hearing it. Everyone came to help this morning and they were busy enough.
After all, they are not a central factory. They need manual labor. If it were in the modern world, such things would be handed over to machines directly, but this was in the 1970s!
