Quick travel to save a miserable life

Lin Hui basically goes to bed as soon as it gets dark every day and falls asleep quickly. Then she gets up at around two o'clock in the night, rides a tricycle and sets off to work in the store. Wu Sumei's working time is three o'clock, and Lin Hui has to get there before her. Do some preparation.

It takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle from home to the store. Fortunately, there are street lights in the courtyard. After leaving the courtyard, there is only a short stretch of road without street lights, which is a bit dark. After turning a corner, we get onto the main road, and it becomes bright all the way. .

Although the street lights are a little dim and not that bright, for those who are on the road after two o'clock at night, a little light is enough to dispel the darkness and fear in their hearts.

Lin Hui naturally has nothing to be afraid of. Her current identity is just a little old lady, and after these days of training and conditioning, her skills are already good. Under normal circumstances, she can protect herself.

But if she can live in peace, who wants to fight with others? What's more, her martial arts skills and medical skills cannot be explained and are shady. Therefore, she will not reveal them in front of others unless necessary.

Because liquefied gas is too expensive, the stoves in the store all use coal, but it is not briquettes, but briquettes, which have greater firepower.

Lin Hui arrived at the store, first opened the seals of several stoves, let the fire come up slowly, boiled some warm water, boiled the beef soup, poured the various ingredients of the eight-treasure porridge into the pot, and began to cook slowly.

Then when the water on the stove becomes warm, you can use warm water to knead the noodles.

Because there were a lot of steamed buns to be made, three large pots were needed just to make the dough, and they were placed in a warm place next to the stove to speed up their fermentation.

Lin Hui washed the soybeans that had been soaked overnight, poured them into the machine, added water to grind them, filtered them, diluted them with water and boiled them on the stove. After boiling, some of them were used to order tofu curd, and some of them were sold directly as soy milk.

Often when Lin Hui starts grinding beans, Wu Sumei should arrive, and then they start washing vegetables and chopping stuffing.

Lin Hui bought the vegetables and meat the morning before. Now that the weather is cold, the meat will be fine if left overnight. By next summer, she will probably have to buy a refrigerator.

When the beef soup used to make the soup base emits an attractive aroma, the eight-treasure porridge begins to become thicker, several fillings are mixed, the noodles in the basin are fermented, and you can start making buns.

All other steamed bun fillings are made on the same day, only the bean paste filling is not freshly made.

Lin Hui boiled a lot of red beans at once and made a large pot of filling. In this weather, it can be stored for four or five days. In fact, she usually makes enough for three days at a time and then cooks it after it is used up.

Buns with different fillings need to be marked on the pleats when making them, because they are steamed for different lengths of time and can be easily distinguished when selling.

By about five o'clock, the soup and porridge had been cooked, and the steamed buns began to be served one after another.

At this time, Lin Hui put the small pot with tea eggs on a small stove and started to reheat it.

Gradually, the aromas in the room began to mix. The flavors of spicy soup, tea eggs, eight-treasure porridge, and steamed buns with various fillings intertwined with each other, and gradually spread to the outside with the steam from the stove.

At this time, you can open the store door and turn on the lights in the room. It's still dark outside, and you can see the bright lights of Lin Ji's Breakfast Shop from a distance.

Lin Hui and Wu Sumei had eaten the steamed buns when they were freshly baked. Otherwise, they would have been busy greeting the customers while waiting for people to arrive in the shop, and they would not necessarily have time to eat.

At Lin Hui's request, they were fully armed when opening the store.

Wearing a white hat and gauze mask on his head, a white apron on his body, and white sleeves on his arms, wearing this complete set makes him look a bit neater and cleaner than usually wearing his own clothes.

Lin Hui made a bigger iron box. The guests put their money into the box and took the change themselves. At this time, most people were still very simple and generally more self-conscious. They would not give money or change after eating. It’s rare to get more money when it’s zero.

After buying the steamed buns, most people order spicy soup or eight-treasure porridge in the store and sit down to eat and drink. There are also many people who buy the steamed buns and walk away.

At this time, Lin Hui was a little regretful that she could not find a disposable cup sealing machine on the market. Otherwise, she could also provide takeout service and do more business.

However, some people bring their own lunch boxes or small pots and insulated rice buckets to buy, because there will be losses when switching back and forth, so generally they will hold a little more.

Instead, she bought several sizes of disposable plastic bags in the market, which are used to carry the buns taken away by customers. They are easier to hold than the previous paper bags.

Lin Hui is only responsible for bringing steamed buns to the guests, while Wu Sumei is also responsible for filling soup into bowls and serving it on the table, as well as scooping out tea eggs.

The two of them had been busy all morning, and it was only at [-]:[-] that they felt relieved, because everyone, whether they were working or going to school, was already in place, and the only ones left were the individual travelers at home nearby, and the flow of people was no longer so large. .

By nine o'clock, there were fewer people, the soup and porridge had already bottomed out, and there were not many steamed buns left. Lin Hui could sit on a stool and rest for a while, while Wu Sumei began to wash up in the kitchen. Put away the stove and tableware.

Lin Hui was very satisfied with her. As long as it was a task assigned to her, she could finish it seriously. If she didn't ask for it, she would do it in a timely manner when she saw it, instead of waiting for her instructions to move.

When everything was packed up at half past nine, Lin Hui pulled down the rolling shutter, locked it, and rode to the market to buy groceries. Wu Sumei walked back. She and her husband rented a private house nearby, which was only ten minutes away from home. .

In fact, it is a pity to close so early. The shop will be empty for most of the day. Some shops like this can also make other snacks at noon and evening, making reasonable use of the house.

But this body is old after all, and no amount of conditioning can stop the body's natural aging and degeneration. To do this breakfast business, you have to get up at two or three o'clock, and after you are done, you really don't have that much energy to do anything else.

Lin Hui has seen two restaurants sharing a building, one serving breakfast in the morning, and the other serving other snacks or meals at noon and evening, but she found this very troublesome.

There are two public venues, and they are both food businesses. It would be fine if they both pay attention to hygiene. But if one of them is the kind of person who doesn't care about cleanliness and blames each other, it will be easy to create discord and cause trouble. It is better to run it by yourself. convenient.

What's more, judging from the current business momentum, the rent expense is not a heavy burden for her, and there is no need to find anyone to share it with.

Although she invested all the money she earned from setting up a stall selling steamed buns to open the store, the business has been very good and the profits have been considerable since the opening.

Judging from the business situation in the past few days, the money invested will be repaid in one and a half months at most. And as the store is open longer, the customer flow will increase and the profits will increase in the future. Then there's nothing to worry about.
