Zhaojun's open life

"Sister, don't worry, you have tasted the steamed buns I made, the business must be good."

Zhaojun is confident that in this day and age, as long as things are clean and taste good, doing business will be fine.

"Well, the steamed stuffed buns you make taste good. Well, the business is definitely not bad."

Lu Zhaoyue felt a little more relaxed, but she was nervous, not because she was worried about the little sister's steamed stuffed bun business.

The coal stove below is burning, and the upper drawer is full of steamed buns, stuffed with pure pork (five cents), beef (eight cents), vermicelli and lean meat (four cents), vegetables and lean meat (four cents) hair).

There is also beaten soy milk, which has been kept warm.

In an open area at the junction of several factories, the sisters have already rented an open space.

This place is allowed by the government to set up stalls, giving priority to setting up stalls for nearby laid-off workers.

Zhaojun also specially applied for a business license and a health permit.

In business, it's better to be disciplined.so as not to be criticized.

When we arrived, there were already many small vendors.

The mobile cart exuding a tangy aroma makes the surrounding vendors look sideways.

Before it came to a complete stop, someone came smelling the aroma, "Boss, how do you sell the buns?"

"Here, there is a price on the side." Zhaojun pointed to the price of the car sticker.She was busy setting up a stall, and brought out three custom-made folding tables and a lot of foldable stools.

The middle-aged man who got up early to buy vegetables looked in the direction Zhaojun pointed, saw the price clearly, and shouted in surprise, "Ah, the price is not cheap."

"Well, it's not cheap. But it's not expensive either. If you don't believe me, buy one and try it on the spot to see if it's worth it."

Zhaoyue has already started to spread pancakes. Seven days a week, her family eats pancakes for every meal.Made the three men in the family want to vomit.

Her level is also improving by leaps and bounds. The most important thing is that she has secret recipes for kneading noodles and adjusting fillings.The little sister taught her, but she didn't let her tell her natal parents, the elder brother and sister-in-law knew.

At least not right now.

The grocery shopping man smelled the tempting scent, couldn't help swallowing, and handed Zhaojun fifty cents, "Boss, here, a bun filled with pure meat."

He tastes it first to see if it tastes good, and then decides.

"Okay, a steamed stuffed bun filled with pure pork. Be careful, it's a little hot, and there's still a little soup inside." Zhaojun swiftly took one out with a big homemade tong, and wrapped it in oiled paper.

She bought a lot of this kind of old oiled paper and cut out different sizes of paper.

She specially improved it. Although the buns are not authentic soup dumplings, she improved them with pure meat filling to have a little soup.

It tastes better when you eat it.

"Well, whoosh." The grocery shopping man blew on the buns with his mouth. He was the first customer.

There is an old man who gets up early and runs in the morning. I keep looking at him, and I want to wait for him to try it, so I can ask, how does it taste?

Big white and fat buns, the vegetable shopping man took a big bite, and the oily and fragrant soup bit into his mouth, and he didn't care about burning his mouth. It was so delicious that he couldn't wait to wrap it all in his mouth. It was so delicious. .

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuufu

"As long as you like it, welcome to visit again next time."

Later in the morning run, the old man pouted his ass, pouted away the grocery shopping man, and said, "Boss, I want two beef buns and a bun filled with pure meat. And a bowl of soy milk, just drink it here."

"Okay, it's three yuan in total." He quickly scooped up a bowl of hot soybean milk, and took out three buns.

A bowl and a plate, quickly passed to the old man.

Zhaojun used the chopsticks in the money box to pick up and change the money, instead of rummaging through it with his hands.

The old man jogging in the morning and the other guests nodded, the method is good, and he pays attention to hygiene.

The power of the pancake fruit began to dissipate, and during the frying process, bursts of tempting aromas were emitted.

"Boss, bring me a pancake." The old man was the first to eat crabs during the morning run.

"Okay, what kind of fillings does the old man want?"

Lu Zhaoyue was happy when the business came.

Just now I saw that Xiaomei opened the store, I didn't expect that someone would buy pancakes so soon.

She doesn't make many skins, only 150 in total.

This is still a day's worth, and she plans to set up a stall from morning to noon.

Several children were studying nearby, so I told them at noon that they would come to the stall for lunch.

The cheapest pancake is [-] cents, the most expensive one is [-] yuan, and the two yuan can be stacked with more fillings, and the five yuan is one piece.

"Well, eggs and vegetables."

The old man eats with his belly open.

The smell of steamed stuffed buns, the smell of pancakes and fruits, delicious and chewy, opened up business all at once.

After dawn, the workers who are off the night shift walk out of the factory, and the first breath of air they take is not fresh and slightly sweet air, but a smell of meat.

Workers wearing dark blue and gray colors, different styles, and coming out of different factories, followed the scent, moved their noses, and searched all the way, "What's the smell, so fragrant?"

"There's a new stall, Da Mao, over here." Someone first found the sisters' breakfast stall.

Hao Xiaoqiang waved the towel in his hand and called out to his friend.

When he got off work, the successor came early, he was the first to leave, and the factory door was also the earliest.

He is a typical foodie. As soon as he went out, he smelled the mixed aroma of pork, beef, and eggs, and his feet began to float up. Following the aroma, he walked here.

Not only is he delicious, he is a good eater, and he has the ability to imitate [-]% of the food he has eaten, as long as he eats it a few times.

The core part can be roughly guessed, but it still cannot be completely restored.

"Xiaoqiang, is it delicious?"

Da Mao knows that Xiaoqiang is a big foodie, and he also knows that he is a gourmet.The most able to eat, not only can eat, but also tell a few reasons why.

"It's delicious. Beef buns, pure pork buns, and pancakes are all delicious."

Hao Xiaoqiang held a towel in one hand and a large beef bun in the other.

With Hao Xiaoqiang's gourmet certification, all the workers in one of their factories became interested.

Hao Xiaoqiang is famous in the factory for being delicious.The canteen master in the factory loves and hates him.

He knows how to eat, and when he makes comments, he hates him to death.But when people put forward suggestions for improvement, they can make the masters love him to death.

Every suggestion for improvement can make the chef think about it and make delicious dishes.

Da Mao, with a towel hanging around his neck, glanced at the price, "Boss, one pork bun, one vermicelli minced meat bun, and a cup of soy milk."

"Okay, two yuan and four." The soy milk is takeaway, and only customers can bring their own lunch boxes and bowls.

Soy milk is [-] cents a cup, and there are not only soybeans but also red beans in it.The taste of soy milk is more fragrant, no sugar is added, and the taste is naturally fresh, fragrant and smooth.

With Hao Xiaoqiang's certification, commuters from some surrounding factories slowly gathered around.

Hao Xiaoqiang was eating buns outside, and he was very satisfied with the food.

This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious dish, fresh but not greasy, the meat filling has a little soup, fresh and salty, and the dough is fluffy and firm.Bite down, it will not be as soft as rice cakes, without chewiness.

Take a bite, the soup spills into the dough, the taste is too delicious to describe.

On the first day, they worked until noon, and the stalls of the sisters had been swept away.

"Little sister, we are all sold out today?" Lu Zhaoyue was a little disbelieving, and lowered her voice, but she was in an excited state, and even a small voice could not conceal her excitement.

"Well, it's sold out. Sister, don't just get excited, clean up the stall."

His face was sweaty, but he didn't feel tired.

Zhaojun wiped the sweat off his face casually, picked up the garbage quickly, and cleaned up the garbage he made.She swept up the greased paper dropped by many customers on the surrounding ground one by one.Pack into the included fertilizer bag.

"Ai ai ai, tidy up, tidy up." Lu Zhaoyue pursed her lips tightly and began to tidy up.

Just now the children took buns, pancakes, soy milk and went back to school.

The two sisters returned home, washed and scrubbed outside the house on the first floor, and the cart was cleaned.Park in a shed on an off-corner and lock the door.

Zhaojun suddenly spread out on the second-hand sofa. "Sister, sit down for a while, I'm exhausted."

"I'm not tired, I'll cook for you." Lu Zhaoyue was actually very tired, but she didn't feel it.

150 servings of pancakes are all sold out, and some matching fillings are also sold out.

I didn't count how much money there was, but there were many in the money box, and it looked like there were more than two or three hundred.

Seeing the money, she felt endless energy.

In the kitchen, there was a clanging sound soon.Lu Zhaoyue got busy. After lunch, she had to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Meat needs to be bought, and the younger sister also bought an old refrigerator for this purpose, which cost a total of 1000 yuan.

I still owed the owner several thousand yuan to buy a house, and my younger sister issued an IOU to the original owner, saying that it would be repaid at the end of the year.

She is worried, she can't sleep at night, worrying about her little sister.

But now that I have seen the light of day, I think it should be, almost, maybe it can be paid off, maybe there is still some leftovers.

In the afternoon, Wu Qingde, who had been away for a few days and came home, went straight to his sister-in-law's new home with a luggage bag.

Walking to the door, seeing that the door was open, and walking in, the sisters were chopping meat.

"Brother-in-law is back."

Zhaojun said hello and continued to cut the meat.

"Well, little sister, today is the first day of opening, how is the business?"

"Very good, you ask my sister, what is the gross income today, and how much is the net income?"

Zhaojun glanced at his sister who was still happy, and handed over the happy and crazy sister to his brother-in-law.

Lu Zhaoyue, who had been ordered to shut up by her sister, got the news of liberation, and immediately became excited, "His father, let me tell you, all 150 copies were sold out today. A total of 280 yuan was collected.

Do you know how much net profit? "

Lu Zhaoyue didn't wait for her husband to answer, and said to herself, "Hahaha, I earned more than 150 yuan."

She is so happy. In the era when the per capita salary did not exceed 150 yuan, most of them were [-] or [-] yuan. What is the concept of earning [-] yuan a day?

That's 500 yuan a month.

This is a lot of money, where can I earn so much at work.

Wu Qingde, who has always paid little attention to money, did not expect to make money like this. He looked at Zhaojun and said, "Where is my little sister, how much did you earn?"

"Haha, my younger sister earns more than me. Her gross income is more than 400. She earns more. Now I don't worry about it. Maybe my younger sister can earn back the rent owed to others in a month.

Today is only the first day, and we haven't prepared much. If we prepare enough, we can earn more.

Let me tell you, I have made up my mind, and I will sell it until noon every day. I think, tomorrow I will prepare 240 pancakes, eggs, meat, and vegetables.

After you wait for the three children to get up and go to school tomorrow, you will go to the place where my little sister and I set up a stall.

Give us both the courage to go every day.The town will last for ten and a half months, otherwise I am afraid that someone will bully us. "

At this time, Lu Zhaoyue is talking about what counts, there is no logic to be found.

Indeed, Zhaojun earns more than Lu Zhaoyue, and the beef buns are very popular, selling more than 100 of them.

The soy milk is all sold out, and there are other buns, and there are even more sold.

"Okay, daughter-in-law, you and my younger sister are amazing." Wu Qingde praised sincerely.

He thought that the business should be fine, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

For the first time, Lu Zhaoyue raised her head confidently, played with her head, and said proudly, "That's right, my little sister has been smart since she was a child. She has been thinking about cooking food for years. You have eaten it. Did you say it tastes good?"

Wu Qingde glanced at the younger sister, only to realize that it's no wonder the younger sister asked him to ask his wife.

Only to find out that my daughter-in-law has become talkative now, and I can't stop being so excited.

"Okay, the taste is good. You see, I come back a day early, but my daughter-in-law, the pancakes you made are delicious, and the buns made by my little sister are delicious. I was in a hurry to come back to eat, and I rushed back after finishing my work early."

Wu Qingde flattered him with a smile, he just liked to see his daughter-in-law happy and lively.

It was the same as when he first met his daughter-in-law.It was the same way, when he saw his wife for the first time, she was with the little sisters, he didn't know what to say, she was happy.

He fell in love with the unscrupulous "stupid girl" who smiled at the first sight. After more than ten years of marriage, that "stupid girl" with two long black braids has changed her figure and appearance, but he still likes her.

In these years, my daughter-in-law married me and never enjoyed a day of happiness.Everything he promised when he got married, he didn't do it.

He will treat his daughter-in-law kindly and be loyal to her all his life, and he will never mess around outside.

"It's okay. When I earn money, let's rent an apartment next door. Although our house is not far away, it's still inconvenient. It's more convenient to live in the factory. It's best to rent in the building of Xiaomei."

Lu Zhaoyue thought it over, this small house is definitely not suitable for a family, even if it is small enough to live in.

Before dawn, I have to get up to do preparations, knead dough, knead dough, and wash and brush. No matter how lightly I move, it will disturb the people sleeping at home.

It's better to rent a suite, it's convenient for her to do things, and it's more convenient for the children to go to school.

The next day, Zhaojun and her sister arrived at their booth at 06:30.

Some were earlier than them, but there were not many vendors at this time, far less than around 2000.

"Boss, why are you here?"

The old man who ran in the morning has been waiting for ten minutes, and has been waiting here. No matter how the bosses of the other stalls greet him, he is still as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.

Seeing Zhaojun and sister, and smelling the fragrance, I couldn't help it, my stomach was rumbling.

"Master, wait a minute!"

Quickly set up a small stall and start the first wave of business. No soy milk is provided today.In no time, the buns increased a lot.

I made steamed stuffed buns with peace of mind. On the first day, I made soy milk because I was worried.

A stove next to it sizzled, frying pancakes and fruits. There were people coming and going, only a few of them went out to buy breakfast.

As long as time permits, most people still choose to cook breakfast at home.Occasionally buying breakfast outside is considered a swap.

After Hao Xiaoqiang got off the night shift, he rushed out immediately and went straight to Zhaojun's stall, "The boss has two pork buns and an egg pancake."

"Okay, pancakes and fruits need to wait." Zhaojun quickly picked up the buns and found the money, and handed the money to Hao Xiaoqiang with the chopsticks.

The bachelors who are off the night shift crowded around Zhaojun to buy breakfast. After they bought breakfast, they ate it on the way, and when they got home, they washed and slept directly.

As soon as I wake up, it's afternoon, wash up, tidy up, have dinner, and it's time to go to work.

Busy until noon, the noodles, ingredients, and buns prepared by the sisters were all sold out.

The lunch prepared in the morning was heated up at the stall, and after eating with the children, the sisters packed up and prepared to go to the city center to buy some items for the family.

Wu Qingde is in charge of purchasing ingredients and dishes for tomorrow, and the two sisters are going to the street.

"Brother-in-law, buy a few catties of pork ribs. I'll make some pork rib broth for breakfast tomorrow. Let's eat some noodles and give the children a change."

Before going to the street, Zhaojun handed Wu Qingde some money, just enough to buy a few catties of small ribs.

Wu Qingde took the money, "Okay, I'm lucky. I'll go back to the village and buy it. It's better than the ones in the city."

"Yes, the ones in the village are better than those in the vegetable market. By the way, brother-in-law, you can collect more eggs in the village by the way.

Don't be afraid of too many eggs. Starting tomorrow, I plan to cook tea eggs and sell them. "

Wu Qingde has seen today's business, and he has confidence in his little sister.

"Okay, my brothers have chickens at home, and there are a lot of eggs in the house. I will ask one by one, and you two will share the eggs when you buy them."

Wu Qingde didn't know that in the future he would be a support staff, responsible for purchasing.

The sisters turned and left, walking towards the bus stop.At this time, the bus stop was just an old street sign. I was lucky. When I got there, the No. 33 bus came. There were not many people on the bus. The two sisters got on the bus and sat together.

Until getting off the car, the two sisters were too tired to talk.Finally took a break.

New Taipei Department Store is a large department store newly opened last year and the first department store in New Taipei City.

In the city center, there is a large open space in front of it, which is a square.

The goal of the Zhaojun sisters is not the Xinbei Department Store, but the place next to the Xinbei Department Store in an alley.

There are several seasoning shops with good reputation, as well as tea gathering places.

"Little sister, do you really want to sell tea eggs?" Zhaoyue found that she admired her more and more. Tea eggs are indeed more convenient and don't need to be as troublesome as soy milk.

If you are too busy in the morning, you can increase your income, but it should not be too much trouble.

The sisters have already walked to the first tea shop, and they don't need expensive tea to buy tea.Cheaper and better.

After asking and choosing from family to family, I chose a tea with a strong aroma and a low price.

I also picked out a lot of ingredients that I needed at home in the spice shop and bought them together, so I won’t be shopping on the street for a long time in the future.

Other ingredients can be bought near home.

Walking through the alley, I walked to the front of the New Taipei Department Store. It was very lively. A stage was set up on the square, surrounded by many people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

On the stage, there was a young man in a suit shouting vigorously. On the red arch, it was written: 2 yuan luck = Santana.

On the other side, several brand-new Santanas, motorcycles, color TVs, refrigerators, and small prizes such as washing powder, soap, soap, shampoo, etc. piled up like a tower, piled together, quite attractive.

Lu Zhaoyue is just an ordinary housewife. She has just been in business for two days, and her mentality is still that of an ordinary housewife.

The heart of taking advantage of a small advantage is instantly aroused.

Excited, Zhaoyue pulled Zhaojun hard and ran away, "Little sister, let's try it too."

Zhaojun is helpless, try it, it only costs two yuan, try ten yuan at most.

"Okay, try it."

Walking along the way, I met many old women and old people carrying washing powder.

I don't know how much I bought, but I got a pack of two packs of washing powder.

"Why are there so many people?" Standing outside the crowd, Zhaoyue was distressed, and wanted to go in to buy, but couldn't squeeze in.

There are too many people, the scene is too boiling, various prizes are placed on the stage, and music is playing. The host has been flickering hard on the stage:

Two yuan can't buy a house, can't buy a motorcycle, and can't do great things. It's just the price of a pack of cigarettes, but it can buy good luck.

If you are lucky, you can scrape out a Santana worth 20. 20, you may not be able to earn it if you struggle for a lifetime, try a few more times, and change your destiny from now on.

The young man himself shouted with enthusiasm, his veins burst out, and those who didn't know thought he had been hit by Santana.

The two sisters broke out from the side, carrying a big bag, and squeezed in. Before buying, there was a shout of excitement:

"I won, won the big color TV, hahaha..."

A crazy middle-aged man held up the scratch card on the spot, jumped three feet high, with eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and the back of his head, his whole body was full of excitement after picking up a bargain.

A domestically produced 21-inch color TV, the cheapest is more than 1000 yuan. If you have a color TV at home, you can sell it, and you can sell it for 1000 yuan if you deal with it cheaply.

Lu Zhaoyue was excited and excited. Although she could only see black heads at a glance, she could see the scratch card held up high.

Excitedly tugged at the corner of Zhaojun's clothes, "Little sister, look, he has a color TV at home. I don't have a color TV at home yet."

She was envious, and at this moment, she fantasized about scraping out a color TV too.

"Sister, let's not have high hopes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Tell Third Sister first, lest she hope too much and end up frustrated.

But at this moment, Lu Zhaoyue's eyes kept staring at the scratch card from which the color TV was scratched out, watching that person being invited to the stage and going crazy on it.

Zhaojun also took a few more glances at the crazy people on the stage, they were poorly dressed, probably the conditions at home were not very good.

Although more than 1000 yuan is a lot, it is not enough to go crazy like this.Only people who are extremely poor, or whose families are extremely poor, will do this.

Nowadays, waves of laid-offs come one after another. Many families are laid off with dual-career workers.Some families secretly go to the vegetable market to pick up rotten tea leaves and cook at home.
