Chapter 35: Business is booming
"Haha..." Gu Jiaojiao smiled with her eight front teeth showing. She was really happy.
In her previous life, when she went to eat Jianbing, she liked to watch the stall owner’s smooth and graceful movements.
After returning home, she would practice making pancakes to relieve stress, and when she made enough, she would give them to her grandfather as a gift.
Her grandfather would happily reward her with 10,000 yuan, and she became extremely skilled.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you are amazing. Your movements are more beautiful than the dances in the art troupe. Although I am very full, I can still eat a small piece."
Dong Qihua praised sincerely and actually took out a dollar to give to Gu Jiaojiao.
"Thank you for your support. Let's eat again next time." Gu Jiaojiao took the money seriously and turned to hand it to Su's mother.
It made everyone laugh, and everyone present tried a piece of the pancake.
"It's really delicious. This is something I've never eaten before. Jiaojiao, it's okay for you to set up your snack stand in the courtyard."
"Uncle, everyone who works in the compound goes home for dinner, so there should be no one buying food!" Gu Jiaojiao asked uncertainly.
"How could no one buy it? I would definitely buy it if I saw it. Besides, there are restaurants in the compound." Dong Qihua immediately retorted.
"Then let's try it in front of the textile factory in the compound this afternoon." Su's mother said uncertainly.
"Sure. Anyway, the stall can be pushed around. We can move it to wherever is good." Gu Jiaojiao made the final decision.
In fact, Dong’s uncle wanted to set up a stall in front of his unit, but he didn’t say it out loud because he was afraid that the Su family didn’t have the courage to go.
Gu Jiaojiao really didn’t know what Uncle Dong was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely tell everyone.
Even in later times, those who set up snack stalls would be chased by the urban management every day. They would be chased at one end of the street while the snack stall owners would sell their food at the other end.
When the urban management officers go to that end of the street, the vendors come here and they enjoy themselves all day long.
After lunch and a short rest, Dong Qihua and his son went to work.
When Gu Jiaojiao saw Uncle Dong coming to visit for the first time, she gave him a box of fine tea.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao. You're welcome, Uncle Gu, brother-in-law, sister, Brother Su, I'm going to work."
Uncle Dong left with peace of mind.
Dong Qihua kept looking back every few steps as he walked. Seeing him like this, Gu Jiaojiao also gave him a few bags of spicy strips.
She unpacked the spicy snack and wrapped it in oil paper for him: "I made this myself, it's not worth much."
Dong Qihua is Su Shuoci's good friend and also her cousin, but Dong Qihua seems to have not reacted yet.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely bring my colleagues to your snack stand to buy food in the future."
"You're most welcome." Gu Jiaojiao said politely.
In her previous life, she had never bent over backwards for a living, and was devoted to studying and practicing medicine.
When I came here, I met the impoverished Su family, and now I have to deal with the Gu family who are also poor and in poor health.
What else could she do? She could only bend down, roll up her sleeves and work harder to make money to support them.
She patiently coaxed Mr. Gu and the Gu family to go upstairs to rest. The Gu family really needed to rest, so they agreed.
While the Gu family was washing up, Gu Jiaojiao took out the air-conditioned quilt and bamboo mat from the space and made the bed.
Brother Gu refused to rest, "Jiaojiao, I want to go to the stall with you guys."
Seeing that he was in good mental state, Gu Jiaojiao agreed. There was nothing wrong in having an extra laborer.
Father Su pushed the snack stand and walked in front with Second Brother Gu. In fact, he was a little nervous inside when he saw Second Brother Gu's enthusiasm.
His timidity also retreated to the corner of his heart. He walked with his head held high, and Su's mother followed closely behind him, carrying the dishes and chopsticks.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuoci to the back and asked uncertainly, "Su Shuoci, are you really going?"
"Go ahead. Didn't you say that we are a legitimate small business and don't steal or rob?"
Su Shuoci knew that his mother was a good cook, but it was her first time to set up a stall on the street.
The wife must take the helm together to give my parents confidence.
His wife had to go, so he had to go with her. He had been in a state of depression for a long time since he became disabled.
He can't contribute to the country, but can't he do something for his family within his ability?
Seeing that he was really not willing to force it, Gu Jiaojiao pushed him away. These days, it was inevitable to be looked down upon when setting up a stall.
But the Su family lives a life of luxury, so they have to have a clean source of income.
Encouraged by Gu Jiaojiao, several people came to the gate of the textile factory with full confidence.
Father Su quickly stabilized the stall, and Gu Jiaojiao arranged everyone's work in an orderly manner.
The test product is cold noodles, which are not only cheap but also very easy to make. The key is that they taste very fresh and smooth.
It tastes very refreshing. If you have a bowl of cold noodles in the summer, it will be refreshing.
In winter, you can also eat fried cold noodles, and you can still enjoy their delicious taste, so Gu Jiaojiao chose to sell cold noodles.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The price of cold noodles in later generations varies in different cities, but the cheapest one costs six yuan a bowl, and the most expensive one costs more than ten yuan.
Gu Jiaojiao set the price at 30 cents per bowl, and the Su family had no objection. Although Second Brother Gu thought it was too expensive, he would not object.
Just as I was getting ready, someone asked curiously through the iron gate: "What are you doing?"
"I'm selling delicious cold noodles. 30 cents a bowl. Uncle, would you like to try one bowl?"
A factory manager walked through the factory gate and came to the stall: "Try a bowl."
Su's mother took out dozens of cleanly washed, snow-white vermicelli from the basket and put them into a basin.
Add the reserved coriander, peanuts, kelp, pickled mustard tuber, chopped green onion, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and other condiments, then place it on a plate and stir vigorously to mix evenly.
"Do you want it spicy?"
“No spicy food, no love.”
Su's mother skillfully poured a spoonful of red chili oil, and then used bamboo chopsticks to vigorously turn the cold skin over and over.
Thus, a bowl of delicious cold noodles with good color, aroma and taste was ready. Su's mother's movements were clean and neat.
It can be said that delicacies are uncommon these days because people are just able to fill their stomachs.
Before you start pursuing deliciousness, the fragrant cold noodles are still very attractive.
The man readily gave three cents and picked up a few pieces of cold noodles from the bowl with chopsticks.
Turn the chopsticks a few more times and they will be tangled up like the line of a fishing rod.
He ate it bite by bite, and after repeating it several times, he finished the whole bowl of cold noodles.
After eating it, I couldn't leave. It was so delicious that it really cooled my heart and made me happy.
The Su family sells cold noodles very honestly. The bowl is quite big, and he was indeed full.
"I'll go in and talk to them, and ask them to come and try it after get off work."
"Thank you, uncle." Gu Jiaojiao thanked him politely.
When it’s time to get off work, the stalls selling cold noodles are crowded with people, and some people go home to cook for themselves.
Just by smelling the fragrant cold noodles, I wanted to have a bowl of it, not to mention that their director had promoted the deliciousness of the cold noodles before.
The cold noodle stall was crowded with people, and those who ate it exclaimed: "This cold noodle is so flavorful that you never get tired of eating it."
Thank you very much for the monthly tickets of "Girl Don't Pick Trouble" and "Xin Wu Yu", as well as the recommendation tickets of the babies (ˊωˋ*)
