Chapter 96 Now is the best time

Xu Changhe couldn’t persuade his wife, and after much hesitation, he decided to take a step back.

“Then you should wait a few more years to see if the environment is really relaxed. When there are more people doing business, you can open your own store.”

This is a safer approach, observe your surroundings and then decide whether to follow suit.

The success or failure of others can also provide you with some experiences worth learning from.

Yun Qiuying has different ideas about this:

“Being among the first batch means a lot. The opportunities and the share of the pie you get are different.”

“Just like when we were on the nameless mountain, there were so many people kidnapped, but I was the only one who dared to rush up to help the mountain god. Then, the mountain god remembered me and has taken care of our family for so many years.”

“Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Once you miss the key opportunity, you may not even be able to enjoy a bite of soup in the future.”

“Now is the best time, Changhe, just trust me this time!”

Xu Changhe could feel his wife’s firmness and determination, but he really couldn’t afford the consequences of anything going wrong.

The shadow of my family being broken up in my childhood was so great that I still haven’t been able to let it go even at this age.

He bent over and covered his face with a look of pain.

I was completely confused and didn’t know whether I should continue to persuade my wife or try to persuade myself.

Yun Zhen, who watched for a while, sighed softly.

In fact, she could understand her great-uncle’s dilemma.

People at that time had limited vision, and everything they saw and heard was confined to a small space.

We can neither see the changes in the outside world nor predict the future situation.

In that era, the big players who could ride on the wind were either those who had inside information or those who were bold and daring enough to take risks.

My great-aunt clearly belonged to the latter.

Yun Zhen greeted them, and when he saw the two of them looking up with surprise, he said to them:

“If you have a dream, go and realize it! If you are worried, I will escort you.”

Yun Qiuying stood up excitedly, “Really? Thank you! Thank you, Lord Mountain God! Changhe, you don’t have to be afraid now. With Lord Mountain God here, any problem can be solved.”

Xu Changhe’s expression relaxed.

He looked up at his wife and saw ambition and expectation in her eyes.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally compromised and said, “Then it’s up to you.”

“Changhe, you are so nice!”

Yun Qiuying jumped up with joy, hugged Xu Changhe and cheered, then kissed him twice on the face.

Xu Changhe lowered his head with a blush and patted her back gently, silently reminding his wife that the mountain god was still watching.

Yun Zhen: “…”

I ate some dog food from the Xianfeng year for no reason.

I should be under the table at this moment, not standing next to the bookcase.

***
Yun Qiuying wants to open a breakfast shop.

She has worked in the food factory for so many years and has learned a lot of knowledge through osmosis.

Although breakfast and pastries are very different, knowledge of cooking can sometimes apply to everything.

After selling her current job for 300 yuan, she began to prepare for opening a store in a hurry.

Yun Qiuying still remembers the breakfast that the mountain god gave her.

Two steamed buns, a fried dough stick, and a cup of soy milk.

Even though life became better later, that breakfast is still the most delicious one in my memory.

Now that she wants to open her own shop, the first thing she has to do is decide on the specific meals.

Youtiao, soybean milk, steamed bread, and baozi are essential, and she also wants to add Qiong-style noodle soup. The store is open from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., which means it is open for breakfast and lunch.

The afternoon is spent on purchasing ingredients and taking inventory and doing the accounting. In the evening, some preparations are made for the next day’s sales. Then, I get up at 4 a.m. the next day, wash up, and start making meals.

Running a breakfast shop is hard work. If you are not a hard-working person, you will not be able to make that much money.

There were not many private breakfast shops at that time, but as long as they could be opened successfully and the food tasted decent, business would be good.

Yunzhen helped find some recipes and orally conveyed them to her great aunt so that she could better adjust the taste of the meals.

Since the ingredients were scarce and not easy to buy all, Yunzhen also helped buy some in the real world.

Yun Qiuying’s cooking skills are really good. After a few improvements, she was able to make a very delicious breakfast.

Among them, the Qiong-style noodle soup is unique and the taste is somewhat familiar.

Oh, it seems similar to what my mom cooks.

Could it be that my mother’s cooking skills were taught by my great-aunt?
Yunzhen muttered to himself that he must ask his mother for confirmation later.

Hearing that the mountain god liked to eat fried dough fritters, Yun Qiuying learned how to make it and added it to the list of meals she sold.

She had a very happy time during the days of adjustment and tasting because she fed the mountain god a lot of food.

After eating the food, the mountain god praised the dish repeatedly. Yun Qiuying felt happy and satisfied.

After all, this was the first time she relied on her own abilities and the fruits of her hard work to thank the mountain god.

Getting recognition from “authority” is the first step to success, which makes her full of confidence in the future of the breakfast shop.

It was an ordinary weekend in the summer of that year.

Yunji breakfast shop is open for business.

No one was notified specifically, and there were no firecrackers or flowers to congratulate.

The boss, Yun Qiuying, is a part-time employee and is responsible for all the work in the store by herself.

Xu Changhe and his two children were very nervous and got up early in the morning to follow her and get busy.

Although they can’t help much, just washing vegetables, serving dishes, and wiping tables, the whole family is more worried than the boss himself.

Yun Qiuying felt helpless as she looked at their tense and panicked expressions.

“Okay, starting tomorrow, you guys should get up at a normal time and don’t get up early like me.”

“Everyone is either at work or in school. How can we have the energy without enough sleep?”

“I can do the work in the store by myself. If I can’t do it, I can hire someone else. If you don’t know how to do anything, stop busying yourself. Hurry up and sit down to have breakfast, take a rest after eating, and then go to sleep.”

Having said that, who would have the heart to let her be busy all by herself while you sit with your legs crossed and watch?

Xu Changhe felt sorry for her and suggested:
“Why don’t I take some time off and go home to help you through the most difficult times ahead. When the store situation stabilizes and I can find a suitable helper, I will go back to work in the factory?”

Anyway, there is still 3000 yuan in savings at home, which can support daily expenses in the short term.

It’s no big deal to delay for ten days or half a month. The work at the food factory is not that busy.

Yun Qiuying disagreed:
“No, there’s only this much work to do. One person can’t do much, and two people are really redundant. You have to keep your job at the food factory. If my business fails, the family will depend on you.”

There is no such thing as paid vacation these days. If you work one day less, you earn one day less in wages.

With a stable job to rely on at home, Yun Qiuying will feel more at ease working outside.

Upon hearing this, Xu Changhe gave up the idea of ​​taking a vacation and just silently did what he could.

Today is the weekend and he and the children are on vacation.

It’s the first day the breakfast shop is open, so of course we’ll help as much as we can.

At 6 o’clock in the morning, there were a lot of people going out.

Most of them get up early to work and have no habit of buying breakfast.

The aroma of food wafted out from Yunji Breakfast Shop, and fried dough sticks and rice balls sizzled in the hot oil.

The most delicious food on earth is hidden in the steaming white mist, attracting passers-by to stop and take a look.
