Chapter 1005: Yuan Yuan’s Parents (6)
If Gu Qingyao were there, she would have applauded Zhong Bingyuan. Because she was right. There was nothing special about the soup besides more seasoning.
Then adjusting the taste.
This was something that people in this era did not understand!
At that time, their thinking had not progressed, and there was little compet.i.tion. Naturally, there was not much creativity either. Not many people spent time a.n.a.lyzing how food should be eaten.
Zhong Bingyuan continued, “I think that since the soup goes so well with noodles, then… it should also be pretty good with wontons? Anyway, it’s about the same. Also! The seasoning that Older Sister Gu taught you to use when you cook the meat makes the meat so fragrant. If you use it for dumpling filling, I think the dumplings will be delicious too.”
Chen Feng: “…”
Chen Qingqing: “…”
“It can also be used to make fillings for steamed buns!”
Chen Feng: “…”
Chen Qingqing: “…”
“Every time we open the stall, we don’t have enough tables and chairs. Many people see that the queue is too long and leave. These are all losses! If we manage to get these people to stay, we can make more than one hundred yuan a day even if we don’t open the stall at night.
“Brother, noodles, dumplings and wontons can be cooked quickly, so customers do not have to wait too long for their food. That’s why they’re popular. But our business is so good that even so, a lot of people find the queue too long. But buns will be different. Buns can be taken away! They can take it and go, that’s more convenient!”
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing exchanged looks. They were tempted.
Zhong Bingyuan continued, “Let’s go and buy another stove and another large pot and find two women to help cook the wontons and dumplings. Then we can find another stove to steam the buns. We’ll open from morning until the afternoon, and when we sell out, we’ll come home.
“Then we don’t need to open the stall in the evening. We’ll just find some older ladies in the neighborhood to come over and make the buns and wontons. As for the noodles! We’ll just get those who sell noodles on the street to make them and send them over every day at a fixed time. We just have to give them some money.
“Then we don’t need to open the stall at night! People need their rest. There’s no end to the money we can earn. Most importantly, we must study. You especially, Brother. You must hurry and sit for the university entrance exams. Or if you get any older, you might miss your chance.
“Don’t worry. It’s all right to get people to make the dumplings, wontons and buns as long as we make the filling ourselves. I will get better very soon, then I can help at the stall. I can also keep an eye on the workers. We certainly won’t make any less than we’re making now.”
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing did not know what to say. What a brain this girl had. They felt that even though she was younger, she was much brighter!
“What are your brains made of? We’ve only been open for a few days, and you’ve thought of so many things!”
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing were convinced. They had earned so much money every day recently that they were still in a state of excitement. They had not minded the work!
Although they worked hard, they were happy to do it!
They did not have the time to think further. Who knew that this little girl had thought about it so thoroughly in a few days.
Hire help!
Then… were they bosses?
Chen Feng thought blissfully of the bosses in the stalls along the street where they had their stall. He suddenly realized that he might become a boss like that and become very rich. Then he could give his younger sisters a nice house and nice clothes!
Chen Feng thought about it and said, “All right, we’ll follow Yuan Yuan’s plan. I’ll go and buy the things now. Qingqing, go and rest after you finish was.h.i.+ng these things. We still have to open the stall tonight. We have many faithful customers, and it won’t be nice if we close suddenly. We’ll inform them tonight and tomorrow morning that we won’t be opening tomorrow night.”
