the next day.
Before dawn, Ji Yang and Ye Jiao had already gone out, and there was no one on the street, so they walked all the way to the street where the pavement was.
It was still a little cold in the morning, and there were rats running over the uneven road from time to time. If she was alone, she would be a little scared, but with him by her side, she felt much more at ease.
After arriving, Ji Yang took out the key and opened the door.
Pull it aside, and the light bulb turns on.
The small shop was divided into two halves, Ji Yang lifted out the table next to it, and behind it was a small stove.
Ye Jiao also got busy with him, saw a steamer next to him, and asked, "What is this steamed?"
"Steamed buns." Ji Yang replied to her.
"Bun?" she wondered.
But they don't sell buns.
However, she soon found out that there were two small workers who brought the buns and put them in the steamer.
Ji Yang found a master, and he made these buns in the morning, and then bought them from him regularly, and the two hired workers would bring them in the morning.
Boil mung bean soup, cook purple rice porridge, white porridge, boil tea eggs...
The four of them were busy for a while.
The weather is getting colder, and on this street, there are a few tables at the entrance of the breakfast shop, and people who come to buy them line up in a long line.
"A mushroom bag with tea eggs."
"Two capers buns."
"Tofu and minced meat buns, a tea egg, and a hard-boiled egg."
…
Ye Jiao is not selling anything, Ji Yang and two small workers are selling, she is only responsible for collecting money.
Just collecting money is enough for her to keep busy, and she is afraid that she will get the wrong money.
She could fully understand why Ji Yang said he was too busy, and he was really too busy, especially during rush hour, when his hand speed was so fast.
I sold several baskets of steamed stuffed buns, a big pot of tea eggs, hard-boiled eggs, and countless bowls of mung bean soup and porridge.
In the past, the stalls were only sold in the morning, but now the morning peak period is over, and the second wave will be cooked after the sell out, and the sale will continue until the evening.
At the end of the day, Ye Jiao's hands were sore.
She can still sit down, Ji Yang has been busy all day, his back is wet a lot, and he is still cooking tea eggs.
It wasn't until the sky darkened and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased that Ji Yang let the two small workers go back and dealt with the aftermath himself.
Ye Jiao was keeping accounts, and next to her were piles of money that she had counted, which used to fit in a small box, but now they need to be put in a small drawer.
After counting, she was stunned, counted a second time, and took a breath, "Today I bought three hundred and eighty-five yuan and three cents."
In the past, they could not make more than a hundred a day at most.
"Yeah." Ji Yang was pushing his chair aside, and said casually, "Business has been pretty good these days."
"The flow of people is too high, we need to save money quickly." Ye Jiao put away the money, and then wrote it down in the notebook.
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"We are the only family here now. After a while, people will find out that we are very profitable. What if the owner of the shop also wants to open a shop? They will tell us to leave." Ye Jiao looked around and continued, "No , we need to hurry up and save money to buy this place.”
"Buy it?" Ji Yang didn't seem to have thought of this level, and blinked at her.
"Of course, if you want to buy it, you must buy it as soon as possible. If you keep making a profit like this, we can sell more things. For example, you can eat rice noodles at noon, and you can hire a small worker for 30 yuan. We can hire two more, so that you It doesn't have to be so hard." Ye Jiao was already thinking about planning.
Ji Yang nodded, "But rice noodles don't necessarily taste good."
"That's right." Ye Jiao thought, "Where can we go to buy the formula? It's not tasty and it's not easy to sell."
"I'll ask." He thought for a while and said.
Not long after Ye Jiao made this suggestion, when she came back from school again, Ji Yang had already obtained the recipe, sold rice noodles at noon and night, and hired a small worker.
After inquiring about the price of the land, she saved money for a while. She took out all her family savings and asked Ji Yang to buy the house and the land.
After buying the land, she began to set her sights on the vacant land behind, which was about 200 square meters and full of weeds. It is said that the family has moved to settle abroad.
She didn't have any money on hand, so she didn't think about it for the time being.
Seeing that their stores are making money, two stores have opened next to them one after another, gradually diverting some traffic, after all, the queue is too long.
However, Ji Yang is good at management, and develops some food from time to time. No, he also created some fast food, which can be freely matched according to the price.
Small restaurants are affordable, you can have a good meal for a few cents, and you can have a vegetarian meal for only thirty cents.
The store is always on fire from morning till night.
A small shop now employs six people.
Ye Jiao came here to help as soon as she was on vacation. Ji Yang didn't care much about money. All the money in the family was in her hands. Just put it on the bedside, and when she comes back, she will count and make an account, and then take it to the bank for deposit.
The days passed.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the year, it snowed heavily in the imperial capital, and Ye Jiao was also on vacation.
Locals can go back after packing up, while foreigners may have to take a train for a week.
"I don't even want to go back, it's too difficult." Xu Tao spread out on the bed, looking at the packed luggage, feeling hopeless, "It's still a hard seat, it's just terrible."
"You can buy a sleeper, and it doesn't cost much." Li Xin sat on the bed and looked at her, and said.
Xu Tao's expression changed, and he said with a dry smile, "I have no money."
The price of a sleeper berth is several times that of a hard seat, and it may not be possible to buy it. Her family is not well-off, and it is not easy to afford school.
"We also buy hard seats, and we have to take trains for several days and nights." Ye Jiao changed the subject and responded to her.
"It's super uncomfortable, my whole body stinks." Xu Tao looked at her, and said after a while, "You're alright, with my husband by my side, I don't dare to go to the toilet with my luggage alone, and I sleep all the time not good."
"It smells bad in the workshop. When are you leaving? You need to bring more food." Ye Jiao chatted with her.
"I bought a ticket for next Monday, it's still at night." Xu Tao sighed, "If you eat, I don't know what to bring. When are you going back?"
"Us? It may be next month, and he will come up in a week after he goes back. He has something to do."
…
The two were chatting, but Li Xin couldn't get in a word, and she insisted on interrupting, "Come to the Imperial Capital just a week after Chinese New Year? Isn't this too urgent? Do you want to sell tea eggs with him?"
In her memory, Ye Jiao's husband was still the countryman who set up a stall selling tea eggs, and he still had hard seats on the train for several days and nights.
Too poor
"Yeah." Ye Jiao didn't deny it either.
At that time, they had to come back to open a shop, one week after the new year, counting the time when they came up, at this time, the people in the imperial capital had already started to go to work.
They want to make money.
"That's too late, right? So short of this little money?" Li Xin pursed her lips, "You can come back after school starts."
If it was before, Xu Tao could still explain it, but now she is too lazy to explain it and just ignores it.
Li Xin's life is too good, but his sympathy ability is poor. Not only is he poor in empathy, but he also has a sense of superiority.
What do you explain to this person
The rest of the people didn't answer, and the dormitory was silent for a while. Xu Tao looked at Ye Jiao again, "I think your tea eggs are delicious. I want to buy them. Next time you go back, bring them to me."
"No need to buy it, I'll bring it back for you this week." Ye Jiao smiled.
Tea eggs are indeed the signature of their shop, and they are sold out almost every day, and now they can sell more than 600 a day.
"It's so kind of you."
"Really? Me too."
…
Several roommates raised their hands one after another, Li Xin was ignored together, she looked at Ye Jiao indignantly.
Why is the other party's popularity so good
She also imitated her and bought things for the people in the dormitory, but no one else wanted them, and some even forced her money, as if trying to draw a line with her, which was so annoying.
early January.
Ye Jiao's school was on holiday, and she came to the store to help out for a few days. During the period, the two went to a department store to buy something for the family. ,
Ji Yang bought a padded jacket for Ji's father and Zhang Yan each. Xuzhou is not close to the sea, and seafood is precious. The two bought some dried seafood and some snacks.
On the 10th, the door was closed, and Ye Jiao wrote down the reason for the temporary closure and the resumption time on a piece of paper, and pasted it on the door.
The two packed up their things, carrying big and small bags on their backs, and waited for the truck at the train station.
At this time, the trains don't line up in a regular manner. When the train arrives, everyone squeezes up.
It's a ruthless squeeze.
Ji Yang tried his best to make a way, and then asked Ye Jiao to sit down and put things up by himself.
They also bought hard seats. Where can I buy sleeper berths at this time
In the imperial capital again, they were unaccompanied.
Fortunately, with Ji Yang, Ye Jiao felt that it didn't matter where she was. This was how she came to the imperial capital before.
When she was sleepy, she leaned against him to sleep, and Ji Yang sometimes held her in his arms, and the food was prepared a long time ago, and he ate the meal he cooked the day before, and it was still hot.
A few days passed quickly, except for the bad smell on the train, Ye Jiao got out of the train and stretched, but still felt that she was in good spirits.
Next is to go back to the village.
In fact, she was a little scared.
She left without saying goodbye at the beginning, and now that she comes back, she doesn't know what kind of attitude Zhang Yan and Ji's father have towards her.
People of the older generation think that their son is their life, and they must be under their knees, and it is not acceptable to travel far.
Not to mention going to the imperial capital to accompany her to school.
"Let's go, go back." Ji Yang took her hand and walked out with something in one hand, "We have to take a bus from the county to the town before we can go back."
"Yeah." She held him behind her back, and the warmth from her hand made him calm down slowly.
When they got back to the town, they waited for the donkey cart. The donkey cart could only take a short distance, and then they had to get off the cart and walk two kilometers before reaching the entrance of the village.
It's not too cold here in Xuzhou, and it's sunny again today.
…
"Let me tell you, that little daughter-in-law of the Chen family stole someone, and that kid of the Zhang family, I'm afraid that Chen Nan will die of anger."
"His little daughter-in-law is not safe."
"I saw it last time..." Mu Weiwei also joined the team, holding a big baby in her arms.
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang interrupted her, "Who is that? Who's here?"
Mu Weiwei followed her gaze. Not far away, a man and a woman came over. The woman didn't look like a countryman at first glance, and the man was carrying a big bag.
"Which family? They seem very handsome." Several people were also discussing.
Mu Weiwei was also curious, but felt familiar. As soon as the two walked in, Aunt Zhang patted her thigh, "Isn't that Yoko and his wife? They came back from the imperial capital?!"
Xuzhou is far away from the imperial capital, and everyone has a kind of awe of the imperial capital. Seeing that there are two people, they are excited and curious.
Mu Weiwei hugged the baby and looked at Ye Jiao who was getting closer and closer, but she didn't recognize him at all. The other person was wearing a cotton padded jacket, very fashionable, very good-looking, and became even better. Her hands holding the baby kept tightening, She didn't respond to the crying of the child.
