A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

Leng Yan, who was standing next to him, saw this and felt sorry that he couldn't make a bigger profit.

But she is not a profiteer. The choice of what to eat is up to the customers, and she is only responsible for providing good service.

So she reported today's dishes to them, and considering that they had children, she especially recommended the steamed fish fillets with garlic and fish head soup.

The fish slices are tender and can be eaten by both adults and children. The fish head soup is delicious and light, which is also suitable for them.

Seeing that they were a little hesitant when they heard the name of the dish, Leng Yan hurriedly explained.

"Ma'am, rest assured. Our steamed fish fillets with garlic are made by removing the bones and fish bones before cooking. They are boneless and easy to eat, especially suitable for children!"

The lady nodded after hearing this, and selected two more dishes. Then she asked the maid to follow her out to get the dishes.

There were seven of them, including the master, servants and the driver. After they ordered seven meals and paid the copper coins, the driver stayed in the hall and the rest were brought into the box by three maids.

A quarter of an hour later, a maid came out of the box, found Leng Yan and handed her a dime.

"The dishes you recommended tasted good. The young lady and the young master were very satisfied. This is a reward from the madam."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan thanked him in a dignified manner and took the silver with a smile on his face. It was a full two ounces of silver.

The maid nodded and went back to the box. After a while, the door of the box was opened and the lady, still wearing her veil, got on the carriage with the help of the maids.

Leng Yan enthusiastically escorted the group to the door, his eyes following the figures as they moved, unable to see any of their faces.

As the driver whipped his horse, she raised her eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of the word "cold" printed on the lantern hanging in front of the carriage.

But before she could take a closer look, the carriage had already gone far away.

"Sister Yan, Sister Yan, what are you staring at?"

Leng Su saw that he couldn't call anyone over, so he couldn't help but pat her.

"Um, what's wrong?"

Leng Yan suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Are Brother Qi, Sister He and the others back?"

"not yet."

Leng Su looked at her with amusement, "What are you thinking about? I asked you to put up the sign saying it is temporarily closed. The dishes we prepared today have been sold out."

"Oh, sure!"

Leng Yan shook his head and brushed off some nonsense, "Then let's pack up and go home early."

Leng Su nodded and marveled at the wealth of the group of people just now.

"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful and gorgeous carriage. The material used for the curtains alone is very expensive.

Leng Yan listened and said a few words. After the last customer left the shop, the family began to clean up.

After a while, Leng Qi and Leng He, who came to inquire about the news, also came back.

"how is it going?"

Zhang Cuiniang hurried forward to ask what was going on. Even Old Man Leng beside her and Leng Xun, who had just learned the whole story, looked anxious.

"There were so many people lining up that we followed an old lady and squeezed in to take a look. Li's restaurant had trays for serving food just like ours, and customers could order whatever they wanted, but theirs wasn't as pretty as ours.

There seem to be more dishes than ours, but they don’t smell as good as ours.

And their meat and vegetable dishes are both a penny cheaper than ours."

Leng Qi recalled as he spoke.

"What are the dishes?" As a cook, Leng Yan is most concerned about this.

"Fried bracken with pork slices, fried tofu, scrambled eggs with wild onions..."

Leng He counted on her fingers and said, "They seem to have everything we have, but they are not quite the same and look different..."

"So, Li's Food Store doesn't sell noodles anymore?"

Leng Huai on the side suddenly asked.

"They sell noodles and rice."

The two little ones spoke in unison.

Leng Yan also roughly understood the cause and effect. The owner of Li's Food Store probably saw that their business was good, so he followed suit and added a similar rice bowl.

This would not only attract customers to their shop, but also help them make money, so why not do it?

Anyway, it’s easy to prepare a few dishes, so it’s a waste not to make some money.

"What should we do? They won't take over all our business, will they?"

Zhang Cuiniang became even more anxious upon hearing this, and Leng Xun also looked worried.

"Yan girl, do you have any ideas?"

Leng Xun usually washes dishes in the backyard and has no idea of ​​the twists and turns involved.

"Just be patient, it's okay!"

After understanding the cause and effect, Leng Yan said calmly, "When it comes to the food business, there are only a few things you can do. If your family can do it, so can my family.

If business is good, there will be a constant stream of imitators, and this is unavoidable!"

"That's right. There is a bun shop on each side of our shop."

Leng Su saw this and calmed down, adding, "They are doing business as usual. It's impossible that just because my family sells buns, your family can't."

"That's right." Leng Yan nodded and said, "Today there is the Li family, tomorrow there will be the Zhang family and the Wang family imitating, we can't stop it anyway.

So what we need to do now is to focus on our own food and ensure the taste of our food. Diners know what is good and what is bad, and they have their own judgment. "

"Besides, even though the Li family took away a lot of our business today, we still have a lot of customers, and we sold out all the prepared ingredients early."

"Yes, yes, yes. Not only are they sold out, but a lot of new customers came today. They all said that our food tastes good and said they would bring their relatives and friends over to try it tomorrow."

Leng Huai and Leng Cang were in charge of reception and serving. After learning about what happened at Li's restaurant, they paid special attention to whether the diners were repeat customers today.

Leng Yan nodded: "There is no end to making money, there will always be customers, we are not in a hurry!"

She looked stunned and calm, and spoke soothingly, and the family gradually calmed down after hearing her words.

After packing up their things and preparing to go home, Leng Yan still did not feel the calmness she had described.

Maybe he is afraid of being poor, or maybe he wants to make money too much.

Leng Yan felt that it was better to prepare for a rainy day and respond early.

So she first bought a lot of grass carp from the fish stall, and then she rented two ox carts at the entrance of the town.

"Mom and Dad, take my younger sister-in-law and their families home first to prepare the food for tomorrow. Grandpa and I will go to Taojing Village."

Zhang Cui Niang knew that her daughter had her own ideas, so she didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, then you can come back early."

When the ox cart swayed to Taojing Village, all kinds of porcelain ornaments were still in abundance and caravans were constantly coming and going.

After a rough walk around, the grandfather and grandson found the porcelain shop where they had bought bowls and plates before their shop opened last time.

"Hey, it's you again, old man, bringing your granddaughter here to buy things!"

The owner of the porcelain shop was named Tao. He was a man of many talents and had a pair of sharp eyes that remembered people quickly. He recognized them at a glance.

"Are you here to buy dishes or bricks and tiles today?"
