Chapter 17: A good start
Time flies, and before you know it, the rooster crows.
In the cold winter mountain village, except for the rooster that crows on time, the rest of the animals and people are sleeping peacefully.
Hao Hao, who was busy until eleven o'clock, endured sleepiness and got up.
The food she sold had already been prepared, and she only needed to arm the children and herself, do a good job of keeping them warm from the cold, and then put her things on the modified mobile food truck, and they could set off.
"The woman woke up?" Xu Laohan asked by the window.
"Pack up, dad have some breakfast, and we'll go." Hao Hao opened the door and handed over breakfast.
"Eat on the road." Xu Laohan saw that it was a meat bun, he didn't want to delay the time, in the cold winter wax moon, there were quite a lot of stalls rushing to the market, and besides, they lived far away, and when they arrived at the place, it would be dawn early, so they had to prepare other things in a hurry.
"It's okay, Dad, you sit in the back compartment, looking at Tiantian, I want to take Xiao Hei and Da Hei to stay at home." Hao Hao can only give up, she can't delay time, for the first time today, she has to get off to a good start.
"I'll help you load the car, and you wrap Tiantian well." Xu Laohan was eating meat and buns while holding things.
Looking at Hao Hao's packed things, he couldn't help but feel a pain again, this girl is too bitter.
Although Hao Hao has never done business, she is a good hand at sorting things, she is afraid of messing around, and when she goes to a hurry, she can't find it, so she labels it and places it by category.
"You can go." Hao Hao looked at the last thing and got into the car and spoke.
"Let's go." Old man Xu yelled, then opened the door and set off.
Thanks to the modified mobile food truck, it would take a while to go this way.
"Dad, I think the mules are still fast, and our cattle are a little slow." Hao Hao looked at the fat scalper and couldn't help but speak.
"Our cattle are not slow, I feed them every day, and it has been crazy for half a year, you look at its size." Xu Laohan was very proud and thought it was his own credit.
"Hey, hey." Hao Hao only showed a pair of eyes, which were very bright in the dark night.
"Have you got all the necessary proofs?" Xu Laohan asked again.
"It's all ready, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, registered, recorded, Dad, you can rest assured." After all, Hao Hao is from modern times, and he also understands these things.
She registered her cooked food trademark in advance, registered for the record, and when the time is ripe, she can plan the trademark again. If you don't have to worry about being taken over by others, you won't be afraid of being taken over by others.
"You do things, I don't worry." Xu Laohan is honorable, his daughter-in-law is powerful, and his face is also bright.
The two chatted with each other, and arrived at the mine about two hours later.
In the cold winter morning, the wind is like a knife, and the face hurts. Fortunately, Hao Hao was fully armed. She found a suitable position, asked Xu Laohan to tie the scalper, and then set things up.
"Dad, you help me light the fire, move things, set the table, and I'll do it myself." Hao Hao carried Tian Tian on his back, and Xiao Hei also stood aside, holding firewood in his mouth.
"Hmm." Xu Laohan glanced at his granddaughter on Hao Hao's back, and his subordinates moved faster.
Hao Hao is really grateful to God, her father-in-law is a talent, she dictated, his father-in-law listened, and it took half a year to create a unique mobile food truck in this era.
Although the material is not as good as modern times, it is many times better than this time.
"Dad, you sit by the fire and roast the fire, and sell meat." Hao Hao put the last basket aside, and the pot on the stove was steaming, and the smell of meat drifted into the distance with the wind.
"Woman, your craft is better, this is not ready, I smell the fragrance, I think you don't need to sell, someone will come." Xu Laohan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he had been on the road for such a long time, moving and pretending, he was already hungry.
"Dad, you're kidding." Hao Hao said and handed his father-in-law a meat bun, due to limited conditions, the water has not yet been boiled, so he can only wait.
"Woman, you see someone is coming." Xu Laohan looked at a young man who came in the morning light, this young man was dressed in dark blue, wearing a big cap, and a white towel on his shoulder, walking slowly, towards her stall.
"Got off the night shift, right?" Hao Hao glanced at it and continued to work.
"He's coming to our stall." Xu Laohan said eagerly.
"I'll see." Hao Hao was overjoyed, looking at the tall figure, walking towards his stall step by step.
This young man is the absenteeism from the night shift in Hao Hao's mouth, his name is Xu Hai, and he has the same surname as Xu Laohan, whether it is his own family is unknown. He had just finished his night shift and was about to return to his house when he was attracted by the strong smell of meat and the tempting smell of wheat in the street.
I didn't have to look all the way to the large wooden mobile food truck covered with canvas on the street. The dining car is surrounded by glass, so you can see what is inside. He'd never seen this mobile food truck before, so he was more curious about who made it.
"What does the master want to eat?" Hao Hao looked at the tall and good-looking young man in front of him and asked with a smile, because he was the first person to patronize his stall.
"What do you have here?" A low, nice voice sounded.
"Meat buns, pickled vegetables, and some mixed mixes." Hao Hao went out of the stall for the first time and didn't prepare too many things.
"There are two meat buns, and one for each of the braised vegetables and mixed mixes you said." Xu Hai glanced at Hao Hao, who was heavily armed, and casually glanced at Old Man Xu.
"Okay, wait a minute." I didn't expect this young man to be so generous, if there were so many.
"Dad brought this master a bowl of broth to warm up his body." Since the broth is ready-made, it takes no effort.
"Okay." Although Xu Laohan didn't understand, he also understood that the good start had something to do with the young young student in front of him who was well-dressed and generous.
"Baby, you drink a sip of soup to warm up." Xu Laohan greeted warmly.
"Thank you, uncle." Xu Hai was also flattered, he bought something and received such a high treatment.
"Are you absenteeism here?" Xu Laohan handed over the broth and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, work here. Uncle, who are you? Xu Hai is also a familiar person, and he doesn't mind Xu Laohan's such an abrupt greeting.
"We are from Xiahe Village, here to do business. As you know, the people here live better than in our village. Xu Laohan said with a smile.
"Uncle is now making a big reform, and the life of the peasants is also better. You see, you're ready to do business. Xu Hai replied with a smile.
"Yes." When Xu Laohan heard it, he felt that it made sense, and smiled very happily.
"Master, what you want is wrapped." Hao Hao interrupted the two and handed the things that had been packed in advance to Xu Hai.
"How much?" Xu Hai asked, looking at the neatly packed things.
"The meat sandwich bun is added to the meat for two and a half cents, and as for the braised meat, it costs a pound and a dime, and the mixed mix is cheaper, a pound and a dime. A total of six pieces. Hao Hao said with a smile, because the reform had just been implemented, the price of many things was already cheap, and she was cheating, so she couldn't ask for too much.
"It's affordable." Xu Hai smiled and handed over the money.
"It's delicious, I'll come back next time." Hao Hao took the money and smiled even more happily.
A pair of big eyes bent into a crescent moon, and the clear eyes were overflowing with laughter, Xu Hai's mood couldn't help but get better.
"Definitely."
"Then go slowly." Hao smiled and waved.
Watching Xu Hai leave, Hao Hao shook the money in his hand, and then smirked.
"Look at you." Old man Xu's old face was full of smiles, and it was easy to open the door, which meant that today's business would be good.
"Dad, I'm so happy. It was the first time it was so successful. Hao Hao put the money in his pocket and said with a smile.
"Pack the money and watch out for thieves, this is approaching the end of the year, and there are many thieves." Xu Laohan looked at Hao Hao and couldn't help but admonish.
"I will." Hao Hao had already put the money into the space, and no one could take it away.
"Dad, you continue to add fire, and I will continue to make cakes." Hao Hao didn't need to say hello loudly, there were many people at her booth.
"Uncle, what are you buying here, you smell it from afar?" Another young man, dressed in dark blue overalls and wearing a simple hard hat, asked with a smile, during which his big white teeth could be clearly seen.
"Meat sandwich buns, braised pork, and some small mixes." Xu Laohan was not timid, and replied generously.
"No wonder it's so fragrant, it makes the person who just had breakfast hungry again, uncle brought me a meat bun, I'll taste it first." The young man said.
"Okay." Xu Laohan easily wrapped Hao Hao's meat bun in oil paper and handed it over.
"It's delicious." The man couldn't wait to take a bite, but he didn't want to spit it out when he was hot, but swallowed it quickly, and he rolled his eyes when he choked.
"Take a sip of soup." Xu Laohan handed over another bowl of steaming broth. There are also a few green vegetables floating on it.
"So sweet." The man laughed.
"Get me one too." A tall, dark-skinned man next to him spoke, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the scent.
"Okay." Xu Laohan smiled and served the soup and handed over something.
These young people who eat are all miners next to them, and because they have not started a family, they have a small burden, and when they get paid, they will always go out for a meal. It happened to be a rest day today, and the young absentees who took turns to take a break came out.
The evening shift has not rested before going out for a walk, and when the morning shift passes by the entrance of the mining area, they will also take a look before entering.
Hao Hao is also looking for a good position, plus her little gold finger, business is surprisingly good.
She didn't stop until Tian Tian was hungry.
"Tiantian, mom will breastfeed you." Hao Hao looked at the crying sad child, and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Dad, if there is anyone else, you can help, and I will feed Tiantian some milk." Hao Hao put down the curtain and said to the smiling Xu Laohan.
"Hmm." Xu Laohan glanced at his granddaughter and hurriedly agreed.
It hadn't been long since everything they had brought was almost sold out, and he thought he would sell out the rest before noon.
Hao Hao prepared a small space for breastfeeding in advance, and also avoided unnecessary embarrassment and trouble, the curtain was drawn, blocking everything outside, and Xiao Hei was guarding at the door, and no one dared to come in.
"Eat slowly, mom is not in a hurry." Hao Hao looked at his hungry daughter and comforted him softly.
There are more and more people rushing to the market outside, dragging families with mouths, some leading children, and those with good family conditions will buy some snacks or some small toys for their children. Some filial children will buy some soft pastries for their parents, or buy some small pieces of home for use.
