Chapter 38 The first day of opening

Early the next morning, when Zhao Yunlan got up, Xiaobao was still dreaming about eating sweets, drooling all over the pillow! Zhao Yunlan gently carried Xiaobao to Wang's side to continue sleeping, and then went out

After going to the kitchen and looking at the pot of soaked tea eggs, Zhao Yunlan scooped out a few eggs, heated them up, and gave them to the Li brothers and sisters.

"Sister-in-law, this tea egg is so fragrant." Li Mingmei swallowed the smell and couldn't wait to eat it.

"Save a few for your parents, and let's get ready to go. Bring the eggs to the car with the pot." Zhao Yunlan ordered Li Mingyi and Li Mingli.

The pot of eggs and soup was still very heavy, so Li Mingli and Li Mingyi took one side and put it on the car.

Zhao Yunlan thought: We need to buy another casserole in the shop.

The five people packed up and drove the ox cart to the town.

Yesterday, Zhao Yunlan had planned to go an hour earlier. Maybe because he had the opening in mind, Zhao Yunlan got up earlier. The Li brothers and sisters also got up earlier for some unknown reason, so everyone set out earlier than originally planned.

The time is earlier.

"We went to the shop and cooked a bowl of noodles to eat first. After we were full, we had a busy day." Zhao Yunlan said, looking at the dark sky.

At home, Mrs. Wang and Old Man Li also stood up, "Hey, I don't know what's going on at the opening today?"

Old Man Li: "Don't worry, I believe it's still early, let's take a rest!"

Mrs. Wang tucked Xiaobao's quilt in and lay down again.

The bullock cart was swaying along, and it was already getting a little dark. Zhao Yunlan and others arrived at the shop.

Several people quickly packed up the things and put them on the place. Zhao Yunlan set up a fire and warmed the pot of tea eggs. On the other side, he took out the flour and kneaded the noodles and prepared the pot helmets. Li Mingyi was cooking hot and sour noodles for everyone.

, Li Mingzhi took the prepared wooden board and wrote "Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles, to give back to new and old customers, three days before opening, three articles of hot and sour noodles."

Li Mingli and Li Mingmei arranged all the tables, chairs and benches and boiled a pot of hot water.

The five of them finished eating their noodles, packed up and waited for the guests to come.

"Second brother, third brother, say hello at the door of the store and tell us about the tea eggs and pot helmets we have launched." Zhao Yunlan instructed the two of them.

The second and third eldest brother understood instantly, and each of them said: "Li Ji Hot and Sour Noodles are reopening. In the first three days of opening, each bowl of hot and sour noodles will be sold for three yuan."

"There are also new pot helmets and tea eggs, please come in."

"Anyone who spends more than 20 yuan in our store in the first three days will receive a new snack tea egg as a gift."

"Please objectively, please, please~"

Customers came one after another.

"What are these tea eggs?" a man asked.

"Your Majesty, you might as well give it a try, three coins a piece." Li Mingli said.

"Okay, here comes one."

From the other table, Li Mingzhi shouted: "Table B, if you spend 20 yuan or more, you will get a tea egg as a gift." Table B was a couple, and they ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles and a bowl of saozi noodles.

Three pot helmets.”

The man over there was eating tea eggs: "This smells like tea. No wonder it's called tea eggs. It smells fragrant and tastes good. Pack two for me later and I'll take them home for my wife to try."

"

"Yes, sir"

After being busy for more than two hours, "Second brother, I'm packing three tea eggs," Li Mingli ran over and said.

Li Mingzhi followed closely, "I also want two tea eggs."

Li Mingyi took a look and said: "The tea eggs are sold out, sister-in-law, what should I do?"

Zhao Yunlan was silent for a moment, "Go and tell the customers that the tea eggs have been sold out today. If there are customers who spend 20 cents, give them two cents off, and tell them to come back tomorrow to pick up the tea eggs. Let the girl register over there.

, check with the guests one by one and make a mark."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

The few people continued to be busy, but only fifty tea eggs were prepared. Zhao Yunlan was afraid that he would not accept it well at first, and the tea eggs could not be cooked one by one.

I didn't expect that the tea eggs were selling so well today, and customers had to take them home after eating them in the store.

The Pork Guokui launched today also sold well. After Li Mingyi took over the task of kneading the noodles, he never stopped, and his arms became weak even as he kneaded the noodles.

Zhao Yunlan was also sweating profusely in front of the stove.

Li Mingmei was also in a hurry to collect money at the counter. She received the wrong amount several times, and she was confused. Fortunately, Li Mingzhi came to check on it from time to time and helped with it, and she saw the wrong account in time.

Li Mingzhi and Li Mingli couldn't stop their legs at all.

The five of them were busy until the end of the day when they were almost free. Everyone was too tired to clean up and sat on the bench refusing to move.

After resting for half an hour, Zhao Yunlan felt relieved, "Let's clean up now that we've had enough rest. Second brother, go buy some tea and seasonings, and then buy a stove. Oh, there's also a casserole. Little sister, keep the accounts.

, count the copper coins collected today and put them away again. I will go and clean up the pots and stoves. Third and fourth brothers, please clean up these tables and chairs."

The five people started to be busy again.

When Li Mingyi came back from shopping, Zhao Yunlan and others had been sitting there for a while.

"Why did it take so long for my second brother to go?" Li Mingzhi asked,

"I went to buy eggs. I was afraid that there were not enough eggs at home, so I went to collect some eggs. My sister-in-law still owes me the money for the eggs, so I will give some more money to others."

"Well, how much is left?"

"Six hundred articles."

"Hey, here, buy a few more steamed buns. We are so busy that we don't have time to eat. We are so tired that we don't want to move anymore. Let's eat a few steamed buns to cushion our stomachs."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

On the oxcart: "Why do I feel that the buns are particularly delicious today? They are even more delicious than the first time I ate them."

"That's because we worked particularly hard today. The more we work, the more we gain." Zhao Yunlan responded.

Several people sat on the bullock cart, eating steamed buns happily and wandering all the way back home.

"Go and tell the village chief that we have been borrowing oxcarts these days. Give these fifty coins to the village chief and you must not push them back." Zhao Yunlan ordered Li Mingyi.

Li Mingyi: "Yes, sister-in-law, I know."

"Dad, Mom, we are back."

Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang hurried out, "We're back, what about today?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Let's go into the house and talk."

Several people entered the room, and everyone sat down without wanting to stand up again. Mrs. Wang refilled some water for the children, and everyone drank it with gurgling laughter.

Li Mingmei drank two bowls of water, held a small box, and shook it a few times.

Old Man Li: "Don't be upset when you're so tired. Let's talk quickly."

Li Mingzhi said mischievously: "Dad, you have to hold on."

Old Man Li slapped him in the face: "If you talk nonsense again, I will slap you."

Li Mingzhi chuckled.

Zhao Yunlan: "Wait for my second brother. Let's talk together when he comes back. Dad, Mom, we won't do anything tonight. I bought some steamed buns and I'll heat them up first and eat the steamed buns in the evening."

Li Mingmei: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Li Mingyi came back, and Zhao Yunlan shouted: "Come and eat steamed buns first and take a rest."

Old Man Li felt as uncomfortable as scratching an itch.

I thought about it and decided to add two more chapters.
Chapter completed!
