I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

"Then we have to try it carefully!" Ji Xiaoxi picked up a dumpling very enthusiastically, dipped it lightly in the chili sauce, and then put it into his mouth.

The chili sauce has a rich taste. It is not purely spicy, but spicy with a hint of saltiness. It is also very fragrant, the kind that stimulates appetite. You can't help but drool when you smell it.

It is a perfect match with dumplings.

Ji Xiaoxi picked up another steamed bun and dipped it in some chili sauce. The meat filling in the steamed bun was very fresh and juicy, and there were crispy side dishes inside. With the chili sauce, it was simply amazing.

"It's delicious!" Jiang Qin didn't have much expectation at first, wondering how delicious a breakfast could be.

Now I want to shut up myself from a few minutes ago!

This was the best breakfast she had ever had!

"It's really delicious." Ji Xiaoxi picked up another dumpling and asked, "Boss, how much is this dumpling and steamed bun?"

"Dumplings are 1 yuan, and buns are 1 yuan," said the boss.

"It's not expensive, and it's full of meat, so why is the business so bad?" Jiang Qin asked.

"I almost know the reason." Ji Xiaoxi said: "Boss, if I can help you make money, will you sell the house to me?"

"How is this possible? My house is only rented and not sold." The boss's face changed immediately.

"Boss, are you really willing to go back to your hometown like this?

Now that the country allows individual business, everyone is thinking of ways to make money, but you choose to go home and stay at home during this golden time. When the people around you make a lot of money, won’t you grit your teeth and regret your original choice?"

"This..." The boss's eyes were obviously hesitant, "When I first opened the store, I was really confident and was aiming to make a lot of money, but the reality has hit me so hard that I am no longer so confident.

Comrade, do you really have a way to help me solve my current predicament?"

"Boss, you have the skills, it's impossible for you not to make money." Ji Xiaoxi looked around the store and pointed to the street outside: "You can see that this street is mainly for entertainment. It's not suitable for you to open a breakfast shop here. Since people come out to play, they basically come out after having breakfast.

Moreover, when they are tired from playing, they won’t want to have breakfast, so they will basically have lunch or dinner.

Naturally, no one will come to your place!"

"Oh, how could I be so confused?" The boss felt a little regretful, but then he said, "But I can only make some buns and dumplings, and my stir-fry is just average. I can't run a restaurant."

"I'm not asking you to open a restaurant. You must do what you are good at. Don't follow the trend and do something inappropriate." Ji Xiaoxi said: "Before opening a store, you need to do market research, identify target customers, and then make adjustments based on the target customers. Only in this way can the business be successful."

"I don't quite understand." The boss looked curious, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

“Market research means you need to find out what’s popular in the breakfast market. Your target customers are your customers, so you need to find out who will eat your breakfast.

This may not make sense to you. If you have nothing to do today, I'll take you for a walk around the streets and alleys, and then you'll understand."

"Okay." The boss gritted his teeth, "I don't have much business here anyway, so I'll close the shop first."

"No need to close the door." Jiang Qin said, "If you don't mind, I can help you watch the store."

"Okay, thank you for your help then." The boss nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he only has a few buns and dumplings, so he has no worries about them being stolen.

Ji Xiaoxi took his boss to small markets with heavy traffic, vegetable markets, places near factories, etc.

Although it is no longer the peak breakfast time, there are still many vendors selling things.

Looking at the items on their stalls, it seems that quite a lot of them have been sold.

"Boss, have you figured out anything?" Ji Xiaoxi asked.

"This is a good place to sell breakfast. These people come and go in a hurry. They are either rushing to catch the early shift or have no place to cook. They can only come out to buy food. Besides, the food in the stalls here is very cheap, almost the same price as my breakfast."

"That's right. The consumption level here is generally lower than that of Xinning Street. It's just right for your breakfast shop."

"But this place is far from my store."

"Boss, haven't you noticed yet?" Ji Xiaoxi smiled, "Even if you make breakfast from the store and transport it here, not to mention the waste in the process, you will also be tired. Making breakfast requires getting up early.

If you want to transport breakfast here, you won’t be able to sleep all night, right?

It would be better to rent a house or a stall nearby.

If you are still unsure, let's go back first. You can prepare the steamed buns and dumplings in a large insulated box. If we make a round trip now, we can catch up with them when they get off work, and maybe we can make some money.

Some people don’t want to cook at night after a day’s work, so they’d like to eat steamed buns and pickles, or dumplings or something like that.”

"Okay, then I'll... give it a try." The boss was obviously still a little unsure and was hesitating.

Ji Xiaoxi also knew that it was impossible for him to believe it all at once.

When the two returned to the store, Ling Zhu happily said to the boss, "Boss, I just sold you a batch of steamed dumplings. Here's the money."

"Thank you." The boss took the money and felt happier.

Ji Xiaoxi said something to Ling Zhu, and the two of them helped the boss pack the remaining steamed buns, dumplings, steamed buns, and chili sauce into foam boxes.

A few people rode their bikes to the big market where they first came. There were many small stalls and vendors here. Once they entered, they basically blended in.

"Boss, wait a moment. I'll go find a cardboard box to write a sign." Ji Xiaoxi greeted him and went to a nearby store to borrow a pen. He then found a large cardboard and wrote the prices of buns, dumplings and steamed buns on it. He held the sign in his hand and shouted loudly with the boss.

"Super delicious xiao long bao and steamed dumplings, only 1 to 1 yuan per portion, you won't lose out if you buy them, don't be fooled, you'll earn money if you buy them!"

The boss was embarrassed to shout at first, but the two girls, Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Qin, who were standing beside him, helped him shout, and he felt embarrassed to be lazy. Who knew that after he shouted the first word, the following words came much more fluently.

A female comrade with a child passed by and asked, "Are these dumplings delicious? Can I have one to try?"

"Sure." Ji Xiaoxi said quickly, "We also have a special chili sauce. If you can handle spicy food, you can try it."

"You can eat spicy food. Let me try it." The female comrade picked up a dumpling and blew on it, then dipped it in the chili sauce that Ji Xiaoxi had poured on the lid of the box before putting it into her mouth.

"Oh my! This is so delicious!" After taking the first bite, the female comrade couldn't wait to say, "This chili sauce is also delicious. Can you sell it?"
