Chapter 019: The First Day of Business

Although the incandescent light is on in the kitchen, it is also very dim, and the sky outside is still dark blue, and the sound of insects and birds is endless, but it seems to be very quiet.

At this time, Liu Xiaping was a little glad that the two of them were lucky, the rented house happened to be the type of small yard instead of a flat house, although there were many neighbors around, but each family used a fence to surround their own yard, which was convenient for them.

Liu Xiaping used to do housework, and the speed of making buns was naturally not slow, but He Xiang had to learn from him, but the buns were still ugly.

Liu Xiaping simply asked her to make steamed buns, so as not to make them too ugly.

He Xiang was a little embarrassed, making steamed buns is much simpler than making steamed buns, the pieces of noodles that were divided were finished, and Liu Xiaping was almost wrapped here, counting about fifty steamed buns and one hundred and twenty steamed buns, and the two of them began to steam again.

"You're all done, I said I'll come and help you get it!"

As soon as I put the bun on, I saw Aunt Lin walking in with a smile, sniffing vigorously, her eyes fell on the stove, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Liu Xiaping pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I'm not done yet, Aunt Lin, I'll give you a taste later, and see how we make it taste." ”

Aunt Lin rubbed her hands, "What's so embarrassing." ”

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, thanks to the steamer you have at home, otherwise we would have to find a way to get the steamer back." Liu Xiaping said with a smile, seeing that the rice was almost cooked, she poured some water, and then boiled it with the bone broth that had already boiled.

He Xiang went outside to re-clean the bamboo tubes with hot water, and after disinfection, they were placed one by one in the back basket with a layer of cloth.

Aunt Lin stood at the door for a while, then went out again, and when she came back, her son and daughter also came in.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaping's eyes flashed, but she was not in a hurry to say anything.

It was getting darker, and their things were almost all right.

I took the antimony pot and put it in the back basket with cotton clothes, put all the buns in, then covered the pot, spread another layer of cotton clothes on it, and put the rest of the buns and steamed buns on the basket, which was almost finished.

Seeing that the three mothers and sons of the Lin family hadn't left yet, their eyes were looking at her vigorously, Liu Xiaping smiled, picked out three vegetarian buns with chopsticks and handed them to Aunt Lin and said with a smile, "Auntie, my sister and I went out first, how do you taste these three, and see if it's worth four cents." ”

"Such a bun costs four cents, huh? This is much more expensive than what you sell in the cafeteria. Aunt Lin hurriedly took it, gave one to her son and daughter, took a bite of the bun, pouted and said.

Liu Xiaping smiled, "It's not that we don't want food stamps, if we want food stamps, we will sell them for two cents each." ”

The bun gave He Xiang one, and Liu Xiaping also tasted one.

After a busy morning, they were still hungry.

However, she didn't say much to Aunt Lin's mother and son, Liu Xiaping went out with He Xiang with a basket with a bun on her back.

The things that contained the bone broth were two hot water kettles brought by He Xiang, and they were specially dried for a while so that they were not too hot.

And the two kettles that were filled with meat porridge were also used, and I deliberately took the food stamps yesterday and asked Aunt Lin to change the tickets for the hot water kettle, and then spent money to buy them back.

The two of them carried a basket on their backs and two kettles, and went to the station.

There are already quite a few people at the train station at this time.

Liu Xiaping looked at it, asked the people here, and found a place with a slightly higher terrain, and there was a pool next to it, which was for the people at the station to wash their hands and faces, and then they put on the masks made of gauze before with He Xiang and came over.

The two of them first took out a basket of steamed buns, lifted the cloth on them, He Xiang took a flashlight to shine the light, and Liu Xiaping shouted, "Sell steamed buns, hot buns, as well as broth and porridge, you can buy it without food stamps, come and buy it!" ”

shouted once, and Liu Xiaping was embarrassed to shout for the second time.

Fortunately, the sound was enough for people to hear, and it was the first time that someone was so openly selling food to eat, and they liked to join in the fun.

"Little girl, how do you sell this bun?" The person who spoke spoke with a thick Northeast accent, "You guys are also speculative, don't you are afraid of being arrested by the people at the police station." ”

Liu Xiaping replied with a smile, "This is not reform and opening up, it says that we can be allowed to do some small business, otherwise how can I dare to speculate, uncle, this vegetarian bun is four cents a penny, five cents for meat filling, steamed buns are also five cents, meat porridge is four cents for a bamboo tube, broth is a bamboo tube for two cents, don't want food stamps, it's just been baked for a long time, do you want one?" ”

This person obviously didn't know that there was such a policy, and it made sense to hear what she said, "Why is it so expensive, and the vegetarian buns in the canteen are only two cents." ”

"Uncle, the buns in the canteen cost two cents and food stamps, I don't need food stamps here, and they are better than the canteen, of course they are more expensive." Liu Xiaping smiled and opened a vegetable bun, "Look, this smells fragrant, four cents a piece is already very affordable." ”

The person who asked this was actually hungry for a long time, and he couldn't help but smell the fragrance of the buns.

But before he could bargain, someone who was already hungry and cooing and didn't have a lot of money to spend shouted, "Little girl, bring me two vegetarian buns, a steamed bun, and a bamboo porridge." ”

Seeing that there was business, He Xiang and Liu Xiaping hurriedly responded with a smile, one was responsible for picking buns, and the other was responsible for loading meat porridge.

"Sir, it's a total of seven cents, please return the bamboo tube to us later." Liu Xiaping smiled and handed over the things.

The man gave the money and gave it refreshmently, nodded and squatted next to him and drank a big mouthful of porridge.

In the morning, it was cold, and it was not too hot to eat something hot, the man drank a mouthful of meat porridge, his eyes lit up, and he smiled with a thumbs up, "Little girl, your meat porridge tastes good, delicious!" ”

"If you think it's delicious, we have several seasonings added to this porridge."

Liu Xiaping replied with a smile.

The people around saw that the man was eating fragrantly, and they also swallowed their saliva, and the person who was not short of money hurriedly came up to buy steamed buns.

Liu Xiaping and He Xiang naturally got busy quickly.

It didn't take long for the train to enter the station.

The people who got off the train looked at the crowd of people here, and they were also curious to come over to join in the fun, and found that there was actually hot food to sell, and they were very happy, so they hurriedly followed to buy.

More than 100 steamed buns and 50 steamed buns, as well as broth and porridge, were sold out not long after the first train entered the station, and for those who didn't buy it, Liu Xiaping had to apologize vigorously, and then quickly slipped back with He Xiang.
