Today is not only the day Lin Mai opened his first Fuduoduo market in Beijing, but also the day Yang Jin’s Shaobing and Meat Snack Shop opened.
Ever since Bai Yan was persuaded by Lin Mai to open a snack bar serving sesame cakes and meat, the couple started looking for a store.
Yang Jin plans to open a snack bar and he can run it by himself. He only sells sesame cakes with meat and soy milk, so the store does not need to be too big.
Under Lin Mai's guidance, Yang Jin rented an 89-square-meter store near a middle school and opened a Shaobing and Meat Snack Shop.
Although today is Sunday and students don't go to school, almost no students come to buy Yang Jin's Shaobing with Pork.
However, his snack bar is surrounded by family areas, and many customers from the family areas come to patronize it, so the business is pretty good.
When Lin Mai's family rushed over, Bai Yan and his wife were very busy, one responsible for making sesame seed cakes and stuffed meat, the other responsible for collecting money and selling soy milk.
Tiantian was tied up on her father's back and carried on her back. When she saw Lin Mai and others, she smiled stupidly and her saliva dripped down and landed on her father's back.
There are only two sets of tables and chairs in the store, and they have already been occupied by customers.
Lin Mai's family didn't even have a place to sit, so they had to stand and eat the sesame seed cakes and meat that Bai Yan handed over.
There are two types of Yang Jin’s sesame cakes with meat, one is mutton and the other is beef.
I tried both Linmai and Linmai, and they were both delicious.
Fuduoduo Market in Linmai supplies Yang Jin with beef and mutton. Other people's restaurants can't get beef and mutton to make sesame-shaped biscuits with meat, so they can't make beef and mutton. But Yang Jin can, and this is an advantage.
It's just that beef and mutton sesame cakes with meat are not cheap, and not many people are willing to eat them.
Lin Mai suggested that Yang Jin also make pork knuckle sesame cakes and sell them with meat.
Pork is much cheaper than beef and mutton, and pork knuckles with meat in sesame cakes are sold cheaper than beef and mutton. The more people can afford it, the better the business will be.
While Yang Jin was busy, he said with a smile: "If you want to make it cheaper, you might as well use pig head meat. The sesame cakes made with pork head meat are also delicious."
Lin Mai nodded: "Then just use pork head meat."
While everyone was talking, Bai's father came with his brother and sister Bai Xia.
When the son-in-law opens a shop and does business, he, the father-in-law, will definitely come to support him.
Father Bai smiled at Lin Mai's family from afar and said, "It's so cold, but you guys are still here so early!"
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang said with a smile: "We walked here and didn't feel cold at all."
Father Bai walked up to him and touched the little hands of his two granddaughters, Doudou and Tiantian. They were all warm, and he felt relieved.
She said to Bai Yan, "Tiantian's cotton-padded jacket and pants are a bit short. I need to make new ones."
"I don't have time this week. I'll find time next week to go to the tailor shop to make two new sets for Tiantian."
Bai Yan smiled and handed Bai's father a beef biscuit filled with meat, and then gave it to his younger siblings.
While the family was eating, they were appreciating Yang Jin's Shaobing with Pork, and Bai's mother also came.
When Bai's father saw them, he hurriedly ate the sesame seed cakes and meat in his hand, said hello to Bai Yan and his wife, and ran away as if running away.
Lin Mai specially bought a lot of ingredients today just to invite Father Bai and the others to her house for hot pot.
But before she could say anything, Bai's father ran away so hard that he couldn't even see the smoke, as if a ghost was chasing him.
Forget it, call him later and ask him to come have hot pot.
When Lin Mai saw Mama Bai coming, she didn't want to stay any longer. She greeted her eldest sister and brother-in-law and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, I told my eldest sister and brother-in-law that they should finish their business and go to her house for hot pot at noon.
She patted Bai Lu's arm: "Second sister and brother will go too."
Bai Xia glanced at the vegetable basket in Fang Zhuoran's hand, and said with bright eyes: "Eating meat cooked in a copper pot, I will definitely go!"
Bai Yan glanced at Mama Bai who looked lonely, and couldn't bear to say: "Lulu and Xia Xia go to your house to eat hot pot. We won't go. Your brother-in-law and I will be busy with business all day!"
Lin Mai knew that Bai Yan declined her because she was afraid that Bai's mother would lose face.
She is Mama Bai's biological daughter, and she grew up in front of Mama Bai. She is very affectionate towards Mama Bai.
As long as Mama Bai is willing to return from her lost ways, Bai Yan will forgive her.
How Bai Yan treats Mama Bai is her business.
Lin Mai would not stop others from being nice to her just because she didn't like Mama Bai.
Lin Mai said hello to Bai Yan and left with Fang Zhuoran and others.
Mother Bai forced a smile on her face and greeted them: "Let's go now. Bring two sesame seed pancakes with meat back for Doudou to eat."
Lin Mai waved his hand and refused: "Doudou has already eaten, no need."
The smile on Mama Bai's face gradually disappeared, and she watched the family walk away sadly.
Before noon, Bai Lu and Bai Xia came excitedly.
During the holidays, the nanny and her aunt were on vacation. When Lin Mai chose her own vegetables, the Bai Xia brothers and sisters helped her choose the vegetables together.
Lin Mai asked casually: "Why did dad run away when he saw Ms. Luo?"
Although Father Bai and Mother Bai are divorced, they can get along like ordinary people.
Father Bai ran away as soon as he saw Mother Bai, which puzzled Lin Mai.
Bai Xia put the selected spinach into the vegetable basin: "Mom wanted to remarry dad, but dad didn't want to, so he ran away when he saw mom."
Bai Lu let out a long sigh: "It's all my mother's fault. I broke my father's heart because of Bai Shuang. Now it's impossible to look back."
At noon, Bai's father received a call from Lin Mai and came over to have hot pot.
The hot pot was lively and delicious when there were many people eating it, and everyone had a great time eating it.
At Bai Yan's house, Bai's mother found it difficult to swallow the delicious dishes Bai Yan specially cooked for her at the dinner table.
She cried and told her eldest daughter and son-in-law that she wanted to remarry Bai's father and wanted her and her husband to help make peace.
Bai Yan was silent for a while, very confused: "Mom, you have approached Dad several times to get back together, but Dad refused. If you ask us to talk again, the result will still be the same."
Bai's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "You ask Lulu and Xia Xia to tell your dad with you that you siblings all hope that your dad and I will remarry. Your dad might agree."
Bai Yan looked at her biological mother speechlessly.
She thought that Mama Bai had gone through Bai Shuang and refused to save her, and that Mama Bai would no longer be self-centered and that others would accommodate him and revolve around her.
Today, it seems that she is still the same, not considering other people's thoughts and positions, but listening to her anyway.
When she said she wanted to remarry, everyone must help her remarry.
Although Bai Yan pities her mother, she is willing to be kind to her because she is her biological mother.
But she won't force Father Bai for Mother Bai, that would be unfair to Father Bai.
Bai Yan flatly refused: "I will not put pressure on Dad for you to remarry."
In fact, Mama Bai has changed.
If Bai Yan had rejected her like this before, she would have accused Bai Yan of not helping her.
But now, she only sighed.
In the courtyard.
After the family finished eating hot pot, Lin Mai and his wife took everyone to the mall to eat and buy winter clothes for everyone.
Lin Mai has a lot of clothes and doesn't need to buy any more. She mainly wants to buy winter clothes for Fang Zhuoran and the others.
Fang Zhuoran and Grandpa Fang both waved their hands.
The last time Fang Zhuoyue came, Lin Mai bought them clothes.
Some of the clothes haven't been worn yet, and I won't be able to wear so many clothes if I buy them again, so I won't let Lin Mai buy them.
Lin Mai had no choice but to give up and buy clothes for Doudou, Bai's father and Bai Xia's brother and sister.
Bai Xia doesn't want him dead or alive, saying he is his elder brother.
It is only the brother's job to take care of his sister, so how can he let his sister buy clothes?
When Bai Lu heard this, she was too embarrassed to ask Lin Mai to buy her clothes because she was her sister.
Lin Mai put his hands on his hips and said arrogantly: "Which of you is richer than me? If anyone is richer than me, I won't buy clothes for him."
The Bai Xia brothers and sisters were all silent.
Finally, Lin Mai bought a winter coat for each of Bai's father and son.
She really wanted to buy two pairs of winter coats for each of them, father and son, but they refused.
Father Bai was wearing a black down jacket that Lin Mai had just bought for him. He couldn't bear to take it off, his face was so happy that he burst into laughter.
Bai Shuang, who is dressed up like a Christmas tree and has flaming red lips, is also visiting the mall today.
I saw Lin Mai talking and laughing with Bai's father and Bai Xia's brother and sister, and they were so close that I was extremely jealous.
But she could do nothing but curse them in a low voice.
Bai Shuang didn't want to see Lin Mai and Bai's father and son falling in love anymore, so she turned and left.
After walking no more than two steps, I felt an itching sensation in my lower body.
During this time, she had been feeling itchy in her lower body, but was too embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment.
(Let me explain, there were no pharmacies in the 1980s, so you had to go to the hospital to get medicine.)
She knew she was infected with a heart disease and was afraid that going to the hospital would cause the doctor to look down upon her with contempt.
It was all Lin Mai's fault that he fell into selling his body to make a living.
Bai Shuang turned around and glared at Lin Mai with hatred, then walked away with unbearable itching.
