A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money
Chapter 33 Opening Business
The farmers had never done any business before, and they were not used to being stared at by so many people, and they were too embarrassed to shout out their wares.
"What is Jiang... Jiangxiangbing, and what is Shuilijianbao?
I’ve eaten steamed buns and dumplings, but I’ve never seen boiled buns?”
A strong man spoke first and broke the deadlock.
Leng Yan smiled and explained, "Sir, this sauce-flavored pancake is made with our family's unique secret ingredients. The pancake is not only fragrant and crispy, but also full of rich sauce flavor. It's really delicious."
As Leng Yan spoke, he quickly cut small pieces of the sauce-flavored cake and passed them over on a bamboo skewer.
"Uncle, please taste it."
The strong man was already drooling over the aroma. He took the bamboo stick and put it in his mouth. He was immediately conquered by the wonderful taste.
"It's delicious. It's really fragrant and crispy, and full of the aroma of sauce. It's really delicious."
The sturdy man looked excited and asked hurriedly, "Girl, how much is this Jiangxiang cake?"
"It's six cents a piece, no cheating, but today is the first day of our store opening, so whether you buy a sauce-flavored cake or a pan-fried bun, you will get a bowl of shepherd's purse and egg drop soup for free."
The onlookers gasped when they heard the noise. A serving of sauce-flavored pancake actually cost six cents.
The salty and fragrant sesame baked buns on the same street were fragrant, crispy and crumbly, but only two cents each. When people saw this, some thought it was expensive.
"Not to mention the salty and fragrant sesame pancakes, even the big meat buns in front are only three cents each. How can you sell this pancake so expensive just by putting some sauce on it?"
"Yes, yes, you are still young. This is not the way to set prices when doing business. Otherwise, once you tell people the price, they will be scared and won't dare to buy."
"That's right, your cake smells good, but it's too expensive and no one wants to buy it."
There was constant discussion all around, but Leng Yan remained calm and gestured to Zhang Cuiniang beside her to serve the soup, while she quickly cut out a portion of sauce-flavored pancake and served it on a plate.
“Our shepherd’s purse and egg drop soup is made with authentic ingredients. Normally the price is two cents, but today, on the first day of business, it’s free.
This Jiangxiang Biscuit is not only our exclusive secret recipe, but also contains a lot of ingredients, and everyone can see the portion. "
As Leng Yan spoke, he raised a plate of sliced sauce-flavored cakes and motioned for everyone to look.
"The filling sauce-flavored pancake is 6 cents per portion. If you think it's expensive or can't finish it, there's a small portion for only 4 cents."
Then she cut a small portion for everyone to see, "You get what you pay for. We use real ingredients. You will know once you taste it!"
The onlookers, seeing that the two portions of sauce-flavored pancakes were of obvious contrast, yet still had large portions, as well as the shepherd's purse and egg drop soup that was full of ingredients, instantly felt that the price was not expensive.
"Then give me a large portion of soy sauce pancake first. A bowl of shepherd's purse and egg drop soup is also included, right?"
The sturdy man who came first had already been tempted after tasting the sauce-flavored cake. Now that he heard the price was not expensive and the portion was large, he stopped hesitating and immediately paid a copper coin and ordered one.
You have to know that he can eat four or five salty and fragrant sesame cakes in one meal, which costs more than ten cents.
"Yes, uncle. I'm giving away free shepherd's purse and egg drop soup today."
Leng Yan said as he ushered the man in, "Uncle, please sit inside for a while. The sauce-flavored cakes will be served soon."
Seeing the guests coming in, the family finally felt relieved.
Seeing this, Leng Huai and Leng Cang, who were in charge of reception, hurried forward and led the strong man to his seat.
The food the strong man ordered was served on the table in a short while. The onlookers saw how relishing he was eating and they all kept swallowing their saliva.
Leng Yan then cut some more sauce-flavored cakes, put bamboo sticks on them, and handed them forward for the onlookers to taste for free.
When everyone saw this, they all rushed forward. When they took a bite of the sauce-flavored cake, it was even more delicious than they had imagined.
At this point, they no longer hesitated and scrambled to buy them. In just a short while, the whole pot of sauce-flavored cakes was sold out.
It takes time to make a new pot, and there are more and more people queuing up behind. At this time, the pan-fried buns next to it are ready, sprinkled with sesame and chopped wild onions, and the aroma goes straight into people's noses.
Seeing this, Leng Yan shouted and worked busy with his hands.
"Shuijianbao Shuijianbao, fresh, fragrant and crispy, meat-filled ones are two cents each, vegetarian ones are one cent each, and you get shepherd's purse and egg drop soup for free when you buy one!"
Seeing this, some people wanted to continue waiting for the sauce-flavored cakes to come out of the pot, while others saw that the pan-fried buns were white, tender and golden brown, so they ordered a few to taste.
The taste is indeed fragrant and crispy, even the ones with vegetarian fillings are better than other meat buns.
Suddenly, a long queue formed in front of Lengji Snack Shop, and the Leng family was extremely busy.
Although it was very tiring, they were able to earn some money and hear the diners praising the food while they ate, so everyone had a smile on their face.
"Mm, delicious. The sauce-flavored pancakes are rich in flavor, and the shepherd's purse and egg drop soup is refreshing and delicious. The taste is simply amazing."
The sturdy man from before ate and praised the dumplings, and when he saw that the dumplings over there were ready, he quickly asked for two with vegetarian fillings.
As soon as he tasted it, his eyes lit up. It was so delicious.
Not only him, but other diners all thought so and felt that this meal was particularly satisfying.
After working hard for more than an hour, all the things they prepared were sold out. Some customers who didn't buy anything even asked them to prepare more tomorrow, as they waited in line for a long time but didn't get to eat anything.
Leng Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and agreed, then hurriedly promoted his own lunch. Those people became interested after hearing this and said they would come over to try it if they had time at noon.
After seeing them off, Leng Yan hung up a sign saying the restaurant was temporarily closed and took it down during lunch time.
After finishing all these, the family was able to sit down and rest.
After a busy morning, everyone had a quick bowl of shepherd's purse and egg drop soup for breakfast, and now the feeling of hunger came up instantly.
Leng Yan thought that she would be busy at lunch time, so she quickly calculated the morning's turnover and prepared some food.
"The total is one thousand two hundred and twelve coins."
Leng Yan quickly calculated the price and the whole family gasped in shock.
"Is it only a few cents in one morning?"
Leng Su was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. Zhang Cuiniang felt that the pain in her back, waist and hands and feet suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, Yan girl, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Old Master Leng also looked incredulous.
"I'm sure I calculated correctly. The total is 1,212 coins. However, after deducting the cost, the net profit should be around 8 or 9 coins."
But even so, the profit is still very high.
"Our costs are oil, salt, spices, white flour, pork, sesame and eggs, and the rest of the wild vegetables only require some effort but are free, so the profit is higher.
After a while, the wild vegetables will be old and we will have to spend money to buy them. The cost will be higher, but the profit will still be considerable."
Leng Yan gave a brief analysis, and the whole family listened to her clear and logical explanation, making everyone look at her with stars in their eyes.
