Chapter 1004: Yuan Yuan’s Parents (5)
After she sat in the room for a while, she got out of bed and went outside.
“Brother, Sister, let’s hire someone!”
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing were startled!
Zhong Bingyuan said, “Now you need to open the stall early in the morning and in the evening. It’s too tiring. If you find someone to help you and give them some money, things will be much easier on you.”
Chen Feng immediately laughed. “What’s a little work like this? How can this be considered tiring? Be a good girl and have a nap. You’re not completely better yet! Don’t worry so much; we will earn the money!”
Chen Qingqing also agreed, “That’s right, Yuan Yuan. This is nothing. We’ve done work that’s hundreds of times harder than this in our old home. This is nothing!”
The two of them dismissed the matter and continued scrubbing bowls.
Zhong Bingyuan frowned. “That was the past, when you didn’t have a choice. But things are different now!”
Zhong Bingyuan squatted down next to Chen Qingqing. She was not yet completely well and knew that she must not touch cold water, so she just squatted down to talk to Chen Qingqing.
“Sister, you’re just a young, teenage girl. What if you exhaust yourself? You get up before it’s light to boil the soup and make the noodles. When you come back in the afternoon, you still need to tidy the house. Sometimes, you don’t get to rest for long before you need to prepare the things to open the stall in the evening. It’s all right if it’s just for a day or two, but you can’t carry on like that in the long term.
“Brother, can you bear to see Sister work so hard?”
Chen Feng’s hand paused. His younger sister had suffered with him since they were young. The truth was that she had never enjoyed any happiness.
Zhong Bingyuan said, “Brother, you can’t bear it, can you? Older Sister Gu said that we should earn some money and take the university entrance examination next year. If you’re so busy every day, how will you find the time to study?
“Hire someone to help! You only have to keep the soup ingredients and other ingredients to yourself. You can let someone else do all the other odd jobs. When you open the stall, you can just be in charge of cooking the noodles and let someone else wash the bowls and serve. That way it will be easier on you and when you come back in the afternoon, you will have the time and energy to study.
“Brother, Sister, more importantly, our noodles are selling so well. We can only sell more if we have more workers. The street is so large, there’s space even if we put out a few more tables. Besides noodles, we can sell other things too.”
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing exchanged glances. They had only been running the stall for a few days.
Where did this girl get all these ideas from?
Zhong Bingyuan looked at them. “Why are you staring at me? I’m telling you the truth!
“Think about it! You sell noodles in the morning and evening, and you can earn over a hundred yuan in a day. But some people don’t like to eat noodles every day! Besides, they can’t possibly eat noodles morning and night, day in, day out! They will be sick of it. We can make other items so that they will have a choice. That will certainly improve business.”
Chen Qingqing said hesitantly, “But we don’t know how to make anything else.”
They were not Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao had been a good cook since she was young. They had known that since they were children when they had eaten at the Gu house. They did not dare to imagine how Gu Qingyao had managed to make such delicious meals in an era like that.
Zhong Bingyuan was taken aback. “This… Older Sister Gu’s noodles with shredded meat is quite easy! I’ve watched it being made for a few days, and it’s mainly about the soup and the chili sauce. As for the soup… there’s nothing special about it besides using a little more seasoning.”
Chen Feng: “…”
Chen Qingqing: “…”
