Chapter 705: Chapter 699: Grand Opening
The next day, the couple got up at three o’clock, washed up, loaded their things to bring to the shop and went to the street. As soon as they opened the shop, they started making a fire to heat water and wash dishes, and Nangong Shulan made a pot of porridge.
At first, she didn’t plan to make porridge, but Qin Xue said that sotis people who eat pancakes feel dry and thirsty, so it’s better for them to drink porridge. Now that they had a shop, it was convenient to sell porridge as well. Because it was located next to a train station, people started coming and going soon. Nangong Shulan washed her hands and started rolling out the dough for the pancakes.
Qin Lei ca over to help roll out the dough for the pancakes after washing the dishes a few tis. They calculated the cost and sold a pancake for 50 cents and a bowl of porridge for 10 cents, making a profit of 30 cents.
Today marks the grand opening, and for the first three days, they celebrated by offering a free bowl of porridge with the purchase of a pancake.
No doubt this idea was excellent. As the shop was new, there wouldn’t be many custors, but the promotion caught people’s attention. Buying a pancake and getting a free bowl of porridge would fill them up nicely. People traveling by train, who couldn’t eat well onboard, were willing to spend a few cents for a al once they got off.
So business was good that day. After they finished and closed up, Nangong Shulan was so tired she could barely stand straight, but she felt delighted.
They could finally make money. At first, when they were applying for business and health permits, she worried they wouldn’t have any business. Who knew it would be so good they were exhausted?
“Shulan, are you very tired? How about you sit down and rest for a while, and I’ll make you sothing to eat,” said Qin Lei after seeing the empty bowls and plates. They had run out of prepared ingredients, so he could only make noodle soup now.
But Nangong Shulan didn’t go to rest after hearing her husband’s words because there were so many dishes left to wash. Add rest to that, and who knows when they could finish and go ho?
Being understaffed made things more challenging. The train station was always bustling, but they could only work half a day and didn’t have the energy for a full day. This ant wasted ti, so they needed to adjust their plan.
anwhile, in the Imperial Capital, Chu Molin finished towel-drying Qin Xue’s hair and went to take a shower. Qin Xue decided to go to the kitchen and prepare sothing for Chu Molin to eat.
There were dough prepared in the kitchen, which was made to make pancakes for breakfast the next day. Now she took so out to make noodles for Chu Molin.
After checking the available ingredients at ho, Qin Xue decided to make a noodle dish with gravy, as the materials were ready-made.
By the ti Chu Molin finished showering, Qin Xue was already preparing the gravy. The main ingredient was spiritual mouse. She couldn’t help it – Xue Ling loved to eat it and often asked her to make it. And she also found the at of the spiritual mouse to be delicious, so she kept them ready to eat, too.
Most importantly, Qin Xue found that when she ate spiritual mouse, her breast milk increased, and her body beca healthier. Naturally, she wouldn’t pass up on sothing so beneficial and tasty.
“All cleaned up, co over and help carry the noodles.” Qin Xue said to the man standing at the door watching her.
“Okay, you’re not eating?” Chu Molin asked.
“No,” Qin Xue replied. She had eaten not too long ago and couldn’t eat any more. She wasn’t a pig.
“Oh.” Chu Molin replied briefly. Alright, his wife didn’t have a habit of eating at night.
Actually, Qin Xue wasn’t into not eating at night. But now, most of her ti was spent in the space working on her herbs. She didn’t even have ti to think about eating, and only ate when she rembered to.
