The house issue has come to an end for the time being.
Chu Yao and her two brothers and sisters-in-law focused all their energy on the breakfast stall that was about to start.
They decided to start with the simplest breakfast: steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk. These became the three musketeers of the breakfast world in later generations and were deeply loved by the people.
Besides, it’s not expensive.
Although Chu Yao and her group were large, they still got up at four o'clock to prepare. They kneaded the dough the night before and started making dumplings and frying dough sticks in the early morning of the next day. The kitchen was bustling with activity.
Yao Jinnian also got up to help, but he refused to leave even after being urged by Chu Yao several times. Chu Yao had no choice but to hand over the job of frying dough sticks to Uncle Nian.
Yang Hang, his elder brother Yang Ming, and his elder brother-in-law Chu Heng packed up the breakfast stall cart together.
"Sister-in-law, the fried dough sticks are almost done. We'll fry more later. If we fry too much now, they won't be as crispy later."
"Okay, finish this one in your hand, and wait for Uncle Nian to pick up everything so it won't explode."
After a while, the buns and fried dough sticks were almost ready, and everyone went out except Uncle Nian and the children who were still asleep.
The men in the family pushed a small cart with a few tables and chairs on it to the location they had already chosen. When they arrived, they parked the cart and, after the preparations were complete, they began to shout. Chu Yao and her two sisters-in-law started setting up the pots and packing up some of the breakfast they had already prepared at home.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. There are delicious buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk. If they don't taste good, you don't have to pay for them."
"Get up early and have a cup of warm soy milk. You deserve it."
Just after typing two lines of the advertisement, a curious passerby said, "If it really doesn't taste good, then it's free?" He looked like he had seen through your tricks.
"It's true, uncle. We have verified it repeatedly at home. We guarantee that you will want to eat more after trying it. Come, uncle, since you are the first customer at our snack stand today, you can drink this soy milk for free. Try it first." Zheng Yu said as he quickly gave the uncle a cup of packaged soy milk and a fried dough stick.
The old man immediately laughed happily. This breakfast shop is really good. They gave me, an old man, a free cup of soy milk right after it opened. If the buns and fried dough sticks taste good, I will patronize them again next time.
Once the first person showed up, the second person followed, and the breakfast stall was immediately crowded with people.
Fortunately, Chu Yao and the others were prepared, and they had more people than them, so they were not in a panic.
Zheng Yu was packing up, Chu Yao was collecting money, Zhao Jie was busy with the fried dough sticks in the pot, and Chu Heng, Yang Ming and Yang Hang were working as waiters. When the customers left, they quickly wiped the table and threw away the garbage.
The food prepared at home had already been sold out, including the semi-finished products to be sold at the stall. Fortunately, there were not many people passing by at this time.
There were still a few people who hadn't queued up and hadn't gotten their turn, so they had to repeatedly remind Chu Yao and the others to get more tomorrow.
Chu Yao comforted the customers, and they instantly breathed a sigh of relief. There were so many people coming and going early in the morning, and they had underestimated everyone's purchasing power. They would have to increase the quantity tomorrow.
"It's time to close the stall, it's time to close the stall. There are so many people this morning. Let's go home and calculate how much money we have earned this morning." Zheng Yu was so excited. This was their first time setting up a stall, and the super high popularity gave her great confidence.
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, let's go buy some ingredients first."
Several people split into three groups and left.
Around ten o'clock, everyone gathered in the living room, and the two brothers and their sister-in-law couldn't wait to know today's profits.
Chu Yao, who collected the money, had already made a rough calculation thanks to her extraordinary brain, but she still needed to calculate it carefully.
Chu Yao was counting on the abacus, Zheng Yu was keeping accounts, and Zhao Jie was counting money. The male comrades could only watch helplessly.
Later, there was really no use for them, so they had to resign themselves to their fate and prepare lunch.
"Okay, I've figured it out. Excluding labor, capital, and the consumption of our ingredients, we made a total of three hundred and five yuan and seventy cents today." Chu Yao put down her hands that were tapping on the abacus and announced loudly.
Zheng Yu put down the account book in his hand, and Zhao Jie also stopped counting the money in her hand. They put the money on the table together. Zheng Yu and Zhao Jie looked at each other in disbelief.
So, they counted it again, and after checking the account book again and again to make sure it was correct, they were so excited. This was an era when workers only earned 30 yuan a month, and they earned a year's salary in just one morning.
"Ayao, we did business secretly before, but we didn't make as much as we did this morning. This is really..." Zheng Yu couldn't describe his feelings.
"Yes, A Yao, our two families had some minor quarrels in the past, but we were very content. This is really incomparable to Kyoto. This is even more powerful than a hen that lays golden eggs." Zhao Jie said with some trembling.
Chu Yao quickly comforted her two sisters-in-law, saying that it had just opened and might become even bigger in the future. Also, there might be more people making these breakfasts in the future, so they should keep a normal mind or study other types.
With Chu Yao's comfort, Zheng Yu and Zhao Jie gradually regained their composure.
Yes, this is just today. If they work hard in the future, or make more delicious food and more varieties, then buying a house in Kyoto will not be out of their reach. Maybe they can even give one to each of their children.
Yao Jinnian watched the scene from the side and smiled without saying a word.
Gradually, the family breakfast stall got on track, and during this period they made a few more types of buns.
Especially the ones with fresh meat filling and leek and egg filling are very popular among everyone. Nowadays, people eat less oil and water. Chu Yao and his family’s buns have a lot of filling and thin skin. They are big and round and only cost one dime each. The vegetarian buns are five cents each. Soon Chu Yao and his family’s buns became famous in the neighborhood.
There is a constant stream of people lining up every morning. After eating, they feel that the food is not enough and they also pack some to take home for their families.
Chu Yao and her two sisters-in-law were extremely busy, as were Yang Hang and the others. The heavy work of kneading dough was left to the men, while Chu Yao and her two sisters-in-law divided the work among themselves, cutting vegetables, mixing stuffing, and making dumplings.
Even Dabao and the others did what they could, picking and washing vegetables in an orderly manner.
They were busy like this for about ten days. Chu Yao and the children were about to go back to school. Uncle Nian was rehired this year, and Yang Hang had already gone to work.
The breakfast stall is temporarily managed by my two brothers and their sister-in-law.
Chu Yao's parents and parents-in-law have already dealt with their family affairs. They have already set off and will probably arrive in a few days.
