Chapter 184 Breakfast Stall
The next day, Gu Youhui returned to the bedroom on the third floor at around nine o'clock in the evening and gave a bunch of keys to Lin Wei, "Uncle, these are the keys to the hotel, the stove and tableware in the kitchen. You can use them as you like, and there are also tricycles parked in the yard. It can also be used. It will be much easier to load ingredients and other things on a tricycle."
"Okay."
Lin Wei took the key and asked him to wash up quickly and go to bed early after a busy day. I also have to go to bed early because I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the stall.
When I woke up again, it was already four o'clock in the middle of the night.
He quietly came down from the third floor. He Caiyun had already moved all the ingredients he bought yesterday afternoon outside the door.
This era is full of opportunities. As long as you are diligent enough and willing to endure hardship, you are not afraid of not making money in the city.
Lin Wei saw that He Caiyun had also prepared a pole, and said: "Youhui lent us his tricycle. We will transport these ingredients on the tricycle."
"He will The tricycle is for us, but what about himself?" He Caiyun was worried that Gu Youhui lent them the tricycle he wanted for Lin Shu and Gu Jiu's sake.
It would be bad if it delayed him.
He Caiyun didn't want the Gu family to think that they came to the provincial capital just for poor relatives to catch the autumn wind.
Lin Wei pushed the tricycle to the door and asked He Caiyun to load the ingredients into the carriage. "I asked him, and he said that he has not set up a stall recently, so he lent us the tricycle temporarily without delaying things."
Load the truck, transport it, open the door, and start washing vegetables.
When all the extra dishes for breakfast are fried and all the side dishes are cut, the genius outside is slightly bright.
Lin Wei and He Caiyun began to move tables and stools out, as well as several stoves and hot pots.
After working for more than an hour, I filled my stomach first while there were no customers.
In this way, the first breakfast from Gu's breakfast stall entered the stomachs of the couple.
"Master, do you think there is any business today? Are these people in the provincial capital willing to have breakfast?" After the two of them had eaten enough, He Caiyun began to worry as they looked at the deserted streets.
These days, steamed buns cost five cents each, and steamed buns cost two cents each. Although they ask for food stamps in state-owned restaurants, their extra-large noodles cost 15 cents a bowl.
Comparing the two, she felt that the steamed buns were more cost-effective.
You don’t know, but the steamed buns served in state-owned restaurants are all bigger and smaller, and even those with small appetites can fill up their stomachs with just one steamed bun.
Lin Wei glanced at the signboard next to the stall. The price of each noodle was written on it. It could be said that he was spending his money clearly.
"My prices are there, and those who are willing to spend will naturally order. Don't worry. There are many rich people in provincial cities. Don't look at city people with our rural eyes." "
He Caiyun nodded, "You are right, city people have the same consumption habits as us farmers. Villagers, when you spend money to eat rice noodles, the first thing you think about is not whether the rice noodles are delicious, but you first think about how long the bowl of rice noodles will last if you buy food for it."
"Okay. While there are no guests yet, you can fetch some water and sprinkle some water on the ground to avoid too much dust.”
Lin Wei didn't expect to make the same amount of money as Gu Youhui when setting up a stall this time, but he must give it a try and try to make a trip to the provincial capital to make up for the loss of his leave.
If the stall can be successful, she will quit her job as a temporary worker at the power supply station and come to the provincial capital for development.
Thinking of this, Lin Wei straightened his clothes and saw people walking around the street. They should be some people who got up early and went out to buy breakfast.
On a street lined with red bricks and black tiles and big slogans, a row of tables and chairs suddenly appeared, which was still very attractive.
“Hey, isn’t this a self-employed restaurant? Why is it serving breakfast now?”
Uncle Gao, who lives in the residential area behind, his wife has passed away, and his son and daughter are working in other places. He gets a pension every month, and his children will give him some subsidies during the holidays.
It can be said that his life in his later years was quite satisfactory except that he had no one to cook and serve him.
The only dissatisfaction is probably that there is no one to help cook every day.
In this era, it is not convenient for him, a single old man, to find a nanny to take care of him, as he is afraid of being gossiped about.
Lin Wei saw someone looking at his stall and took the initiative to say hello to him: "Comrade, do you want breakfast?"
Uncle Gao originally wanted to go exercise first, but after listening to his words, he stood still, looked around at his breakfast stall, and walked to the stove: "What kind of breakfast is there?"
Lin Wei smiled slightly and introduced his stall. The breakfast served today, "Gay is a joy" Do you like spicy food or not? "
"The main thing is that the taste is better. I can adapt to it whether it is spicy or not." Uncle Gao saw the freshly fried meat and small intestines in the basin and smelled it. Fragrance feels that after a night of digestion, the stomach is empty.
Lin Wei introduced: "Today we supply boiled meat powder, fried meat powder with chili pepper, and small intestine powder fried with pepper. You can also have half small intestine and half lean meat. We call it half intestine and half lean rice. In addition, there are Rice tofu and pig blood."
Uncle Gao turned to look at the prepared pig blood and nodded: "Pork blood is good for cleaning the stomach. Boss, I can cook half sausage and half lean meat. Pig blood? ”
"Sure, a bowl of half sausage and half lean is 15 cents. Add pig blood for an extra two cents."
Uncle Gao nodded and asked him to cook a bowl for himself.
Seeing Uncle Gao find a table to sit down at, He Caiyun wiped his hands and wanted to help pour a cup of tea.
Uncle Gao waved his hand, he could do the job of pouring water by himself.
He touched the teapot on the table. The water inside was hot, and he felt even more satisfied with this breakfast stall.
Not long after waiting, Lin Wei brought up a bowl of noodles with a lot of small intestines and lean meat, "Comrade, there are pickles on the table. If you like to eat them, you can use a small plate to pick some up and eat them."
“Thank you.”
The small intestines and lean meat are stir-fried with green and red peppers, probably because of the addition of soybean oil, and they have a rich aroma. Coupled with the smooth and chewy rice noodles, the taste is so tempting. One or two bites will whet your appetite.
“Your noodle tastes good.”
Lin Wei was very happy to hear this, “Thank you, I couldn’t be more to your liking. Please come here often in the future.”
Uncle Gao nodded: "I'll try the taste of your other two noodles next time. You should be husband and wife, right?"
Lin Wei: "Yes."
"State-owned hotel In addition to noodles, you also have fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns, and steamed buns. Compared with theirs, your breakfast options are a bit too monotonous. Why didn't you think of making more? "Uncle Gao is really confused about this.
After hearing this, Lin Wei said with a helpless smile: "We also want to do a few more things to take care of every customer, but just the two of us, there are too many things to do."
Just like Lin Shu said, as long as they prepare these breakfast items, they can still retain diners.
The provincial capital is so big. If they retain some of the diners, they will be successful in business. They can't be too greedy and try to win over all the diners in the provincial capital.
A few people were chatting, and a few more guests came one after another. He Caiyun invited them to order food and sit down at a table. Lin Wei hurriedly hot powdered the food and seasoned it.
Uncle Gao finished eating and paid the bill, stroking his full belly. It seemed that he couldn't exercise today, so he could only arrange today's exercise task in the afternoon.
Liu Xiao'e was thinking about Lin Wei's breakfast stall today. After Lin Shu got up and finished breakfast and cleaned up the two babies after taking a bath, she told Lin Shu and asked Gu Jiu to deliver them by bike. She went to the door of the hotel.
"Brother Jiu, is it so easy to do business in the provincial capital?" At the stall at the entrance of the hotel, five or six tables were occupied. Some tables were occupied by one or two people, and some tables were occupied by three or four people. indivual.
Lin Wei was busy cooking breakfast for the diners, while He Caiyun was busy clearing away the dishes, wiping the table, and collecting money and giving change.
Gu Jiu was also a little shocked. He didn’t expect that Lin Wei’s breakfast business would be so good on his first day at the stall. “It’s easy to do, but brother, the breakfast business is so good. It must be the breakfast they cooked for everyone.” Appetite.”
He Caiyun looked at it. When they arrived, she asked with a smile: "Mom, Brother Jiu, why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"
Liu Xiao'e rolled up her sleeves and said: "We have eaten, you don't have to worry about it, look. How can I help? ”
He Caiyun's face was filled with joy: "Mom, please help me clear the table. I used a lot of bowls. I'm afraid I won't have any bowls for the breakfast I'll cook later, so I'll wash the bowls first."
Gu Jiu nodded to He Caiyun and walked to the stall. Lin Wei originally wanted to ask the customer what he wanted to eat. Then he looked up and saw Gu Jiu, and said in surprise: "Brother Jiu, why are you here? Are you not at home to take care of the baby?"
"Mom didn't trust you, so she asked me to send her here." Gu Jiu looked at He glanced at the stall where many customers were sitting and said with a smile: "Brother, business is good?"
" It’s okay. Today’s business also surprised me.” Lin Wei was busy and said happily, “Brother Jiu, look at today’s business, does it count as a success in setting up the stall?”
"Let's try it out for half a month. If it remains stable, this business is almost a success."
Half a month later, some of the old customers could still be retained. This breakfast business has been recognized by everyone.
Lin Wei smiled and nodded: "It seems that I can't be proud. I have to work harder and make this breakfast stall better."
After staying at the door of the hotel for half an hour, I saw three people The personal breakfast business was so busy that Gu Jiu rode home first.
As soon as he entered the compound, he was blocked by a woman.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the woman blocking the way.
Zhou Xinyue also frowned slightly and said dissatisfied: "Gu Jiu, what's that expression on your face? I just stopped you to ask you a few words, why do you need to be so impatient?"
Gu Jiu glanced at you. She glanced at him and said, "Why are you stopping me? Just tell me."
Hearing his impatient tone, Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to He hesitated again and asked directly: "I heard that your family gave birth to a baby? And a pair of twins?"
Gu Jiu thought of the twins at home, and his eyes flashed, "Yes, Dabao is Son, the second treasure is a daughter."
"The village girl is so lucky!" Zhou Xinyue muttered, with an expression of obvious unwillingness on his face.
Gu Jiu warned: "What kind of village girl is not a village girl? She is my wife. Please pay attention to your wording when you speak."
Zhou Xinyue did not take his warning seriously, waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay. Okay, it’s your wife. I don’t have any other meaning. I just lament that she has a good life. A rural girl married a bastard like you. A man who is generous has given birth to twins."
After hearing her words, Gu Jiu was unconvinced, "Hey, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by a man who is generous? ”
He is a grown man who is not only handsome, but also takes care of his family and loves his wife and children. What’s wrong?
"What do I mean, you decide for yourself." Zhou Xinyue took out a pair of small bracelets from her bag and stuffed them into Gu Jiu's hands, "This is a gift for your twins, help me pass it on to Baby, I won’t go to your house, so as not to irritate your village girl and think I’m going to rob you.”
Gu Jiu: "."
Can't you understand what this woman means?
I had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Lin Shu last time, and today I came to give a gift to the baby. At this moment, even he was a little confused about what kind of medicine Zhou Xinyue was selling in the pot.
No matter what he was thinking, Zhou Xinyue waved her hand: "Brother Ninth, go back quickly, lest the village girl becomes jealous again."
Gu Jiu looked at the woman who left, and then looked at her again Looking at the small silver bracelet that was forced into his hand, he was stroking his forehead with a headache. What is this?
"Gu Jiu!"
At the door of the compound, the guard stood at the door and called him.
"Uncle Li, what do you want me to do?" As a last resort, Gu Jiu pushed the bicycle back.
"There is a letter from you in the communication room. Come in, sign and take the letter back." Uncle Li pointed to the communication room at the door.
Gu Jiu parked his bicycle, wondering who was writing him a letter, and followed Uncle Li into the communication room.
Uncle Li took out a stack of letters, found Gu Jiu's letter, asked him to sign the receipt, and gave the letter to him.
"Boy from the Gu family, I heard that your lover gave birth to twins?"
"Yes, Uncle Li, a pair of twins."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, What do you think your old Gu family is so lucky to be able to give birth to twins? Your wife is really amazing." Uncle Li gave a thumbs up.
Children in this era basically rely on natural conception, and the chance of twin pregnancy is extremely low. It is no better than artificial insemination in later generations. Twins and multiple births are common.
Everyone knows that if the daughter-in-law of any family gives birth to twins or multiple babies, they will talk about it and sigh that it is really possible to give birth.
Gu Jiu exclaimed, "Uncle Li, my Shushu is great, and I am great too."
Otherwise, how could it be possible to successfully sow two seeds at once.
Uncle Li smiled and patted him, "Yes, you are amazing. Keep up your efforts, and if you have the ability, you can have twins next time!"
Those words are of great concern to you. He didn’t dare to answer it for a long time. Who knows what the result will be next time. He didn’t dare to lie.
Uncle Li looked at the boy pushing the bicycle and ran away, shook his head with a smile, and checked again to see which letters had not been delivered to the recipient.
When you get off work later, be sure to pay attention to the people coming in at the door and send the letter as early as possible.
Gu Jiu returned home.
"Shu Shu, there is a letter from my hometown. I don't know who sent it."
"Bring it to me and have a look."
Lin Shu took the letter and looked at the sender. It was written Li Xiu, "Li Xiu is the name of my second aunt."
The letter was addressed to Gu Jiu. You didn't need to think about it to know that it was sent to Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu was just a collection agent for her.
Lin Shu was just curious, why did Li Xiu not ask Liu Xiao'e to bring a letter when Li Xiu came to see her for something, and why did she insist on making it so complicated and send a letter to her.
Gu Jiu guessed: "It takes almost ten days and a half to send a letter from the township to the provincial capital. The second aunt probably didn't know that Mom and the others were coming to the provincial capital until she sent the letter first."
< br>Lin Shu was curious about what Li Xiu wanted from her. He opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside. The handwriting was crooked and ugly, and the sentences were not fluent.
To sum up, the general meaning is to tell about Lin Mei’s difficulty in getting pregnant, and then she suffered a miscarriage due to the harassment from her husband’s family, and the child was not saved.
Gu Jiu asked: "What's the matter with the second aunt's letter?"
Lin Shu handed the letter to him, "The letter said that Lin Mei had a miscarriage and wanted to come to the provincial capital because she was depressed. Let’s relax. Since you want to relax, why didn’t you follow my mother and the others? Come together?”
Sorry, I went back to my hometown for the holidays yesterday and didn’t have time to update~
