Chapter 70： Start business

Chapter 70 Starting business

Gu Yan is not as optimistic as Gu Zhao.

He frowned at this time. Facing his pitiful looking sister, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be a lot of problems hidden in it. He didn't know what his aunt's family had done to Niu Niu.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Niu Niu couldn't help crying again.

After she came to this home, her mother and father also loved her, and her two brothers were also very kind to her. She was really afraid that her eldest brother would think that she was a bad child who would speak ill of others behind their backs.

When his sister cried, Gu Yan was so panicked that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He could only swallow what he just said about "don't talk about right and wrong behind your back" and said:

"Niuniu didn't say bad things about people behind their backs. Niuniu was just saying her true thoughts. Niuniu is a good child. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can't fake this kind of thing."

Niuniu's tears were still hanging on her face. She raised her head and looked at her elder brother stupidly: "Really?"

Although Gu Yan felt sorry for her, he still wanted her to understand how to behave in the world, and said: "Niuniu, if you don't like what my aunt says, you can tell us, but you can't tell outsiders, do you understand?"

"Why?" Niuniu was puzzled.

Gu Yan said: "Because we are your family, we will do our best to protect you, but when outsiders hear these words, they might turn around and tell my aunt, who will hold a grudge."

Niu Niu understood, nodded and said, "I don't say bad things to outsiders. I only tell my family."

Gu Yan just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

Niuniu asked again: "Can all the family members speak? Sister Ya, sister Ya, first cousin, second cousin? Uncle and uncle? Grandpa and grandma?"

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't tell Niu Niu that the relationship between his family was good or bad. Not everyone expected you to be well, so he had to find another way and asked Niu Niu: "You want to say bad things about my aunt to so many people?"

Niuniu shook her head.

Gu Zhao took the opportunity to put his head over and whispered: "I will accompany you to speak ill of my aunt!"

His eyes flashed with excitement that he had finally found an ally, and he wanted to talk to Niuniu for three days and three nights.

"My aunt always looks at our dad with a perplexing look!"

"My uncle looks at my mother very strangely!"

"Second cousin also has treacherous eyes. I always feel like he wants to steal my wooden horse toy!"

The child didn't understand what "coveting" meant, but he could instinctively sense the strange look in his aunt's family's eyes.

Gu Yan couldn't help but cover his forehead. He felt that all his hard work during the day was in vain. The more he wanted to educate, the more bad things he said to the two of them.

It was just Niuniu's abnormal reaction, but he still secretly mentioned it to Zhang Yunniang.

Liu Xiaoru and Zhang Yunniang are both action-minded. They only spent one day repairing the shop. The custom-made front door of the shop was not finished yet. They started doing business the next day.

Although they were anxious, some were even more anxious.

When I opened the door early in the morning, there was already someone waiting outside.

"It's really terrible. What do you use to make braised food? It started to smell good yesterday afternoon. My man couldn't sleep all night because of the smell. He urged me to come over and buy it early in the morning."

The woman who spoke was wearing a fine cotton dress with not a single patch on her body. It was obvious that her family was fairly well off.

After she entered the shop and smelled the stronger aroma of food, a look of intoxication appeared on her face.

"I've had breakfast, but I couldn't help but swallow my saliva as soon as I came in." The woman said calmly and generously.

Neither Liu Xiaoru nor Zhang Yuniang had ever done business, but they both knew how to open an door to welcome guests, so they immediately enthusiastically took the woman to introduce her.

"Oh, you really have a lot of these things in your house. Give me some braised dried tofu. My men like to take this with wine." The woman said with a smile. Liu Xiaoru quickly picked up some dried tofu with clean chopsticks, put it on the oil paper, and said, "Guest, would you like to take a look at my braised chicken? It tastes great."

The woman was a little hesitant when she heard this. The men and children in her family really liked braised chicken, but she was just trying the water this time.

Dried tofu is not expensive, but a chicken is not. If it doesn’t taste good, you will lose a lot of money.

At this moment, Niu Niu trotted over and hugged Zhang Yunniang's leg: "Mom, I'm here to help you! Do you want me to entertain the guests?"

The little girl looked like she wanted to help. The woman couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little sister, how old are you? You are so sensible."

Niuniu stretched out a hand and said softly: "Auntie, I am five years old."

Liu Xiaoru picked up a roast chicken from the side, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Niu Niu.

Niu Niu was almost confused by the smell of food falling from the sky, but she still managed to keep calm, shook her head and said, "Aunt Liu, this is for sale, I can't eat it."

But Liu Xiaoru said: "Eat, your two brothers have eaten. You worked hard to clean the shop yesterday, you deserve it."

Niu Niu turned to look at Zhang Yunniang. Zhang Yunniang nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, just eat. I won't do it again."

Zhang Yunniang didn't want the children to eat the food sold in the store, but Liu Xiaoru insisted that the children had worked hard yesterday. Gu Zhao, the weak-willed one, took the chicken legs and ran away. Now she would not let Niu Niu eat, which turned out to be partial.

After getting her mother's approval, Niu Niu stretched out her hands to take the fragrant chicken drumstick, her big eyes brightening astonishingly.

Her mouth is not big, so even if she takes a big bite with all her strength, it will only be a small wound on this big chicken drumstick.

The little girl's face was full of intoxication, and the happiness she showed without any performance could not be faked.

The woman who was still hesitating and struggling swallowed her saliva. It was as if she was inspired by the devil. All rationality and calmness were thrown away. She turned her head and said to Liu Xiaoru: "I want a roast chicken."

Such a big business suddenly came, and Liu Xiaoru's face immediately burst into a huge smile.

After the woman left, Liu Xiaoru ran to Niuniu, picked up the child, kissed the little cheek hard, and praised: "A good start, Niuniu is really our little lucky star!"

Niu Niu looked at Aunt Liu's excited look and laughed stupidly.

Not to mention that the woman looked confused before, Liu Xiaoru was also confused when she looked at it. Niuniu's food was so delicious. Just by looking at it, one could not help but feel that what this child ate must be the best in the world. food.

After the woman, another customer walked in. It happened that Niu Niu hadn't finished chewing the chicken legs.

"Braised chicken, I want a braised chicken, the same kind as the one this kid is eating!" the guest said without any hesitation.

On the first day of opening, the portions of various food preparations were not large. There were only five braised chickens in total. While Niuniu was eating the chicken legs, they were all sold in one go. Even the missing chicken legs were bought by customers.

However, other braised food businesses did not sell out so fast. By the afternoon, most of the various ingredients were left.

Braised food is only sold for one day. The braised food from the next day not only tastes bad, but also easily deteriorates.

Both Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru have made up their minds not to sell overnight braised food, and they can only digest it themselves if they cannot sell it on the same day.

With so much leftover braised meat, it naturally becomes a big problem.

Zhang Yuniang thought the business would be easy, but she didn't expect that she might have food thrown into her hands on the first day of opening. Yuanbao Street was a bit remote after all, and it was just starting out, so it hadn't attracted enough repeat customers.

Liu Xiaoru also frowned. She looked at Niuniu who was still playing mud with Gu Zhao in the yard, and suddenly she felt so happy that she said, "I have thought of a way!"
