Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The man and woman felt a tad embarra.s.sed, but the surrounding crowd cheered them on, urging them to give the pancakes a try.
Eager to taste the pancakes, they quickly finished their portions and reached for their wallets.
“We’ll take 10 more pancakes! They’re incredibly delicious!”
They then turned to the people nearby and declared, “We’re not hired promoters! If you don’t believe us, try them for yourself!”
“Well, then I’ll buy some too.”
Qin Dalong set aside the pork and hurried to the back of the store.
“Zhenzhen, how many are ready? Someone wants to purchase 30 pancakes!”
Qin Zhenzhen had just shared the news of selling 20 pancakes with Su Ning and her brother, and they were all filled with excitement.
Especially Su Ning, who swiftly helped Qin Zhenzhen wrap up the requested 20 pancakes.
Upon hearing her elder brother’s words, Qin Zhenzhen’s joy overflowed. She even hummed a tune as she diligently wrapped each pancake.
“Elder Brother, please a.s.sist us by taking them out and handling the money.
We’re a bit busy at the moment!”
They hadn’t antic.i.p.ated such a high demand for the pancakes, so they continued making more while it was still early.
Qin Dalong beamed with happiness. “Sure, sure! Just focus on what you need to do, and I’ll help with the sales once they’re ready.”
With that, he retrieved the pancakes, and Qin Zhenzhen and the others resumed their work.
This particular type of pancake was relatively thin. It required flipping twice at the bottom of the pot and sticking to the pot to ensure quick cooking.
Soon, Qin Dalong reentered the scene.
“Zhenzhen, you’ve sold them all!”
“Elder Brother has a suggestion. Add some pork to your pancakes, and they’ll undoubtedly taste even better.”
“Two wen for eggs, three wen for pork.”
Qin Zhenzhen was busy making pancakes, Su Cheng tended to the fire, and Su Ning diligently chopped vegetables into shreds.
“That sounds good, but we’re currently swamped with work.”
“If we add pork, it needs to be minced. Additionally, cooking the pancake with pork requires a longer frying time.”
Qin Dalong chuckled. “Don’t worry, your two sister-in-laws will be here soon. They always help prepare breakfast for us.”
“We can ask them to a.s.sist you, and we can even set up another stove. We have two pots here anyway.”
“Alternatively, we can borrow another pot from the neighboring store.”
Qin Zhenzhen also laughed. “Thank you, Elder Brother!”
Su Cheng whispered to his sister, “But will we run out of food this way?”
Su Ning calmly smiled at him. “We can buy more ingredients. They’re not expensive, after all.”
Su Cheng smiled in agreement. “Yeah, I was being silly!”
Qin Dalong stood there dumbfounded, observing Qin Zhenzhen diligently making pancakes.
So, this was what his sister looked like when she was focused on work.
They say that hardworking women are the most beautiful. He truly believed his sister looked stunning in that moment.
Noticing Qin Dalong watching her work, Qin Zhenzhen reminded him, “Elder Brother, go and sell the pork. Second Brother can’t handle it alone.”
“You said you were selling pancakes for us, right?”
“Yes, yes, I will go out now.”
Qin Dalong swiftly relocated a low table to the side of the pork store.
The pancakes made by Qin Zhenzhen and the others were placed in a large bowl, and the torn dried banana leaves were laid out.
Qin Dalong began to call out, “Come and buy the pancakes! They’re delicious and affordable, just 2 wen each. Take as many as you want!”
Since they had raw pork in their hands, it was best not to handle the pancakes directly.
At that moment, Qin Zhenzhen’s two sister-in-laws arrived.
Both of them were taken aback to see Qin Zhenzhen selling pancakes..
