Chapter 301: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 29
Since it was the first day of opening and they hadn’t done any publicity, they didn’t dare buy too many ingredients and planned to test the waters first.
No one expected that this business would be so popular. Not long after they set up the stall, all the fruits of their morning’s hard work were sold out.
After Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin sold the last bun, they quickly closed the stall, fearing that someone else would ask them for buns.
The two of them worked together to wash the steamer, and then began to prepare the pasta.
Gu Yong kneaded the dough to make noodles and dumpling wrappers; while Li Xiuqin used the bones she had bought in advance to make broth.
When they finally had some free time, it was almost noon.
At this time, Gu Qian had just woken up.
"Host, you are so comfortable! Your parents have been busy all morning!"
Gu Qian, who had just woken up and was still a little sleepy, woke up instantly when she heard Tuanzi's somewhat indignant voice.
She asked with a puzzled look on her face: "So what do you want to say, Tuanzi? I always feel like there's something else behind your words?"
"You just watch your parents work so hard, and you are still sleeping comfortably here..."
"Tuanzi, are you kidding or serious? Have you forgotten how old I am now? What can I do? If I really did something, my parents would be scared to death!"
"Then...then why are you so at ease with this?" Tuanzi felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"What else? Am I feeling guilty about this? This is the normal relationship between parents and children! You raised me when I was little, and I will take care of you when you are old."
"I know you only think this because I am a mature adult soul. But don't forget that my body is that of a child! Besides, I have tried my best to do what I can."
"Hmm..." Tuanzi's embarrassed voice came, "Actually, that's not what I meant! But they obviously have money, so why do they have to work so hard? The money given by the fifth prince is enough for you to use for a lifetime, right?"
"You may not understand, for people like Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin who are used to doing all kinds of work, it would be really hard for them to stop working one day. Also, they all have their own pride and ideas. In their hearts, they feel guilty about receiving the money, and naturally they feel guilty about using it."
"Oh, I see. Host, you mean they can't use this money with peace of mind?"
"Yes, although I have advised them, the underlying thoughts in their hearts will not change easily. Also, Gu Yong has said more than once that he wants to leave the village and give his children good conditions. This also shows that his ambitions and ideas are far-reaching."
"ok, I get it."
"There is another point that I believe you should understand. Although we have a huge amount of money, it is actually difficult to spend it because we can't explain where the money comes from."
"I know this. I thought that was the reason why they wanted to open this hardworking bun shop."
"Now you understand! If you dare to mock me again next time, be careful or I'll make you pay!" Gu Qian said in a bluffing manner.
"I know, I know. There won't be a next time." Tuanzi agreed in a flattering manner.
Gu Qian ignored Tuanzi's words, put on her clothes and ran out the door.
"Father, mother!"
"Hey! My dear Qianqian, are you awake?" When Gu Yong heard the voice, he immediately ran over and picked up Gu Qian.
"Well, I'm hungry." Gu Qian touched his stomach and said with a pout.
"Your mother is already cooking the noodles. It will be ready soon. Dad will take you there."
Gu Yong carried Gu Qian into the store. At this time, Li Xiuqin was taking the noodles out of the boiling water and putting them into a bowl filled with soup.
Pour a layer of minced meat on it and put a few slices of blanched vegetables in it. The fragrance spreads instantly, even people outside the store are attracted.
"Wow, it smells so good! Mom, you are so awesome!" Gu Qian clapped her hands vigorously in support.
"You little rascal, you only know how to sweet-talk me! You didn't even have breakfast and went straight to lunch." Although Li Xiuqin didn't appreciate it, she smiled very happily.
"Hurry up and ask your father to bring you over to eat."
"Hehe, thank you mom!" Gu Qian smiled and didn't care what she said.
Gu Yong went over and brought the noodles to Gu Qian. When the aroma got closer, Gu Qian couldn't bear it anymore and held the bowl which was bigger than her face and started slurping the noodles.
At this time, a sturdy but not fat man walked in.
"Sure enough, it's here! Shop owner, what smells so good?" The man spoke in a gentle voice that was very inconsistent with his image.
Hearing this voice, which could be used as a voice actor to voice the affectionate second male lead, even Gu Qian, who was immersed in slurping noodles, raised her head from the bowl to take a look.
Li Xiuqin, who was cooking noodles, was surprised for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "Oh, this is our pork noodles, my daughter is eating it. I don't know if this kind of noodles is available elsewhere, I guess I figured it out on my own."
"Meat sauce? It sounds good and smells even better!" The man took a closer look at the noodles in Gu Qian's bowl. His appetite, which had already been aroused by the aroma of meat sauce, instantly exploded.
So, he waved his hand and said generously: "Give me a bowl, a large one!"
This bold action coupled with a voice that pretends to be bold but is actually doubly gentle, Gu Qian couldn't help but sigh: No wonder so many actors need dubbing!
"Okay, sir, please do it. It will be ready soon!"
Li Xiuqin skillfully kneaded the noodles and quickly made a large bowl of noodles with meat sauce and brought it to the man.
The man picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"Hmm, delicious! The taste is really... indescribable!" He exclaimed vaguely while eating.
Gu Qian couldn't help but chuckle as she watched him wolf down the food.
Li Xiuqin couldn't help but smile. She felt very satisfied that her cooking skills were praised by the customers.
"I've traveled a lot over the years and have tried all kinds of food. Only some big restaurants are willing to use oil in their dishes. I've never seen small vendors as willing to use oil as you do. The meat sauce is so delicious when it's stirred by the hot oil!"
The man gave a thumbs up and couldn't stop praising Li Xiuqin.
"You're too kind. If we're not honest in our small business, how can we keep our customers? Isn't that right?"
"Who says it's not true? There are some shops that I never want to go to again after eating there once. But this one, I want to come here every day!"
"Oh, thank you so much for saying that! I'm happy that you enjoyed your meal."
After the man finished eating, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "Check out!"
"Sir, it's twelve cents in total."
The man took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, counted out twelve and gave them to Li Xiuqin.
"Your noodles are so delicious, I will come here often!" After saying that, he left the noodle shop.
"Hey, take care!" Li Xiuqin put away the silver and felt very happy.
