Seeing the middle-aged woman's skillful operation and graceful movements of making noodles, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sip her saliva, looked at the stainless steel basin on the other side, and asked her softly: "Is this the reconciliation noodle?"
"Yes, these are fried dough sticks noodles."
"So, can you only make fried dough sticks with fried dough sticks noodles?" Lu Weiwei looked curious.
The middle-aged woman grinned: "Yes."
"Can we make steamed buns?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
The middle-aged woman shook her head: "You can't make steamed buns."
"Okay." Feeling that the strange knowledge had increased a lot, Lu Weiwei nodded silently, still giving way, trying not to interfere with the couple's work.
The couple seems to have been doing this for many years, and every move is almost seamless.
It seems like a complicated and tedious task, but the two of them work together very well.
And fried cakes, washed vegetables, fried dough sticks and noodles.
These things that can be prepared in advance, the couple will do in the afternoon the day before.
If you come to the store around early in the morning, you can also drive directly to transport the ingredients to the store.
"Why do you still bring so much cash?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up as she watched the proprietress pour the cash from the plastic bag into the iron box.
You know, we are now in an era without banknotes, and mobile payment is convenient and fast.
Lu Weiwei couldn't quite remember the last time she saw so much change.
The landlady grinned: "We are in the breakfast business, so it is convenient to bring so much change."
"After all, those who are older will definitely use cash, and they will not use mobile phones to pay."
"Okay." She felt that she had not paid attention to all aspects of people's lives for too long, and Lu Weiwei even felt that she was out of touch with the people.
He glanced back at Gu Chen. At this moment, Gu Chen was still sitting in the hall, staring outside, as if waiting for Hu Junjie's arrival.
But it's almost 2 o'clock in the morning, and few people are passing by on the street.
Lu Weiwei originally ate a lot of barbecue, but when she saw the two couples busy in the kitchen, she suddenly felt a little unsatisfied.
I just thought that the couple would finish the work as soon as possible so that they could have a good meal.
Touching her belly, Lu Weiwei took a step back, gave up the kitchen aisle to the boss, and asked out of curiosity: "Do you prepare breakfast here?"
"Yeah, I'm going to make soy milk later."
"How long do you need to soak these beans?" Lu Weiwei stretched out her head and glanced at the soybeans in the bucket.
The boss thought for a while and said directly: "In summer, five or six hours."
"Then this should be considered freshly ground soy milk, right? Otherwise, it would be too late." Lu Weiwei had already thought about the scene of herself sitting in the store drinking soy milk.
The boss had never seen such a greedy girl before, so he could only nod in agreement: "Yes, usually before selling, time is very tight. You have to grind several large vats of soy milk, cook eight-treasure porridge, millet porridge, make bean curd, and adjust the chaos.
Materials and the like.”
"Give me a moment." Seeing the heated conversation between the boss and Lu Weiwei, the wife of the boss directly walked between the two of them holding a pot of tea eggs.
Smelling the fragrance, Lu Weiwei also looked curious: "So many tea eggs? Can they be sold out in one morning?"
"Of course." The proprietress was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Anyway, we can sell as much as we make. Later we will cook some tea eggs and make three kinds of fillings, more than 1,000 steamed buns."
After seeing the lady boss put the tea eggs away, the boss started pouring the dough again. Lu Weiwei leaned against the door and asked jokingly: "So boss, are you making dough?"
"This is applying alkali. If alkali is not applied, the noodles will be sour." The boss' skill was so skillful that Lu Weiwei wanted to pick up her phone and shoot a vlog.
"So it won't be sour after applying alkali?" Lu Weiwei agreed.
The boss nodded silently: "Yes, so you want to learn? I don't mind having an apprentice, and she is such a beautiful female police apprentice."
"Haha." Lu Weiwei chuckled, feeling that what the boss said was quite funny.
After the boss kneaded the noodles, he put them on the platform and kneaded them repeatedly. It felt like it required enough physical strength.
Compared to the boss, the lady boss talks very little and only knows how to work hard.
But the two couples work well together and seem to have a clear division of labor.
There was almost no pause every minute, and the operation was smooth and smooth.
At this moment, Gu Chen walked over from the hall, leaned next to Lu Weiwei, and asked in a questioning tone: "Are the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law from the same place?"
"Yes." Seeing that the visitor was Gu Chen, the boss became more serious and nodded silently in response.
"Then as soon as you met your sister-in-law, did you start making breakfast together?" Gu Chen asked again.
The boss nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Of course. When I go to school, there are many people in our house making breakfast."
"My family also made it at that time. Anyway, we didn't have any other skills, we could only make breakfast."
"Then why did you think of coming to Jiangnan City to make breakfast?" Gu Chen asked again.
The proprietress put the bucket aside and said with a smile: "What's the reason for this? Because we don't have much land over there. Why don't you do this?"
"There are few people farming now, and our skills are pretty good. We have been doing this for more than 20 years by making something that we are specialized in."
Clenching her fists and hitting her back, the landlady also smiled bitterly and said, "It often causes back pain."
"But if you feel unwell, you can't rest. In our business, you earn hard-earned money."
Looking at the white BMW off-road vehicle parked at the door, Lu Weiwei also knew that the hard-earned money was really saved up one by one.
So Lu Weiwei said jokingly: "Actually, it's okay if you take a two-day break. The worst thing is that we won't sell it."
"It won't work if I don't sell it. Won't the business be taken away by others?" Feeling that Lu Weiwei was still too young, the landlady replied with a smile:
"If you don't sell it every day, where will they go to eat in the morning? They will go to other people's houses to eat."

After finishing her words, the proprietress washed her hands at the sink and took out a bag of medicine directly from the drawer.
Lu Weiwei was a little surprised and said: "What kind of medicine do you have?"
"High blood pressure." The proprietress glanced at Lu Weiwei behind her. She seemed to realize something and explained with a faint smile: "Actually, those who work in our line of work are ill. There is nothing we can do about it, and the intervertebral disc is also herniated."
"Of course, it's not just us. Anyone who does breakfast business will have some experience."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded silently to express her understanding, but also said with some distress: "The main reason is that you can't even get a good night's sleep all year round, and you have to start working in the early morning every day."
"That's right." The boss walked past Lu Weiwei and pushed the wife to one side. He picked up a water glass and filled it with a sip of water.
Seeing that it was rare for someone to talk to him about work, the boss also smiled lightly and said: "Let me tell you, I had a backache once, maybe I accidentally sprained it while moving things, and then I went to the hospital for treatment. The hospital let me
I’ll just lie down for a few days and be fine.”
With a faint sigh, the boss said helplessly: "In our line of work, how can we have time to lie down? I told the hospital that I don't have time to lie down."
"You're not lying down either?" Gu Chen said.
The boss shook his head: "How can I have time to lie down? My child can't do this now. He is still studying in his hometown. If I wait until he graduates and gets married, I will stop working."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, the wife took a towel and wiped the sweat from her husband's forehead.
The entire kitchen is now like a big steamer.
Lu Weiwei and Gu Chenguang were standing at the door and already felt the sense of seeing them in a sauna.
Lu Weiwei also joked: "You guys stay in the kitchen every day, it's really like taking a sauna, you can sweat a lot every day."
"Well, we love to sweat a lot, mainly because it's hot in the kitchen and we're always moving." The boss joked, looking at the clock on the wall from time to time.
Gu Chen glanced at the time, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.
But now, it seems that Hu Junjie, whom everyone is waiting for, has not yet appeared.
But Gu Chen was not in a hurry. After all, the time the two couples told him was from early morning to early next morning.
Gu Chen also admired himself. In order to help Zhao Feng find the whereabouts of his nephew Azhe, he and Lu Weiwei worked extra overtime.
Just waiting for someone would take me all night.
With nothing to do, Gu Chen noticed that Lu Weiwei had been staring at the steamer in the kitchen, so he curiously asked the couple: "How many steamers do you want to make in total?"
"There are probably more than 100 drawers, and they need to be packed until after 5 o'clock."
"Do you make these fried dough sticks and sugar pancakes freshly?" Gu Chen asked again.
The lady boss nodded silently: "Yes, they are all made fresh and will start frying at 6 o'clock."
"Not bad." Gu Chen nodded slightly, feeling that he now knew why this restaurant's breakfast business was the best in the entire East District Old Street.
From the selection of ingredients here, Gu Chen can see a lot of tricks.
In particular, the working methods of the two are truly outstanding.
If he hadn't been afraid of affecting the busy work of the couple, Gu Chen would have really wanted to film all of this and send it to his old mother as a taste of Jiangnan, so that Comrade Xiao Xiaofang could learn from it.
Time passed by, and Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were still waiting quietly at the door of the kitchen.
The two couples who had nothing to talk about looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.
The two people leaned together and talked quietly. It seemed that without Hu Junjie showing up, the two of them seemed to have been monitored by the two policemen.
Seeing that Lu Weiwei kept sipping her saliva, the proprietress also took the initiative to find a topic and said:
"We have been in this business for a long time, so we have more experience than other stores in all aspects. For example, the temperature of the oil and the hardness of the dough are quite experienced."
"As for those who are inexperienced, you can't tell. It all depends on your eyes. How many noodles and how much alkali to put are all very particular."
"Didn't you do this a long time ago?" Lu Weiwei also looked curious.
The boss took over the topic and said with a proud face: "Of course, I started doing this when I was 18 years old. I am almost 50 years old now, almost 30 years."
"Awesome." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with praise: "There are really few people who have been doing it for as long as you."
"I feel like your family is all about business. For example, your nephew Hu Junjie, I heard that he is also good at business. Using the one-dollar sales method, he can sell more than 500 pieces of clothes a day in the university town."
"Haha." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the boss also grinned and said: "This is the same as what we did earlier. The one-dollar sales method is what I gave him."
"What we earn is all hard-earned money. Although, my nephew Hu Junjie also worked as a waiter in a high-end restaurant during the previous summer vacation, and he felt that the level was different."
"Those jobs must be much easier than ours, but no, although they look decent, they don't make any money."
"This month's salary is not enough for him to spend, so what's the use?"
"Later my nephew Hu Junjie also said it. He said, uncle, how about I join you too?"
"Okay, isn't this great? It's for the whole family." Lu Weiwei said.
The boss waved his hand: "No, he is a college student, he has studied for so many years, and he ended up doing breakfast with me. Isn't this a waste of his youth?"
"I said you should find another job. He majored in chemistry, and I think he should be able to find a decent job. But this kid, I don't know what he is thinking about every day, and he is particularly interested in doing business."
"I thought to myself, if you are particularly interested in doing business, you might as well study finance and trade, so that you can get the professional equivalent."
"I have studied chemistry for so many years and ended up making breakfast. Isn't this a disgrace to my parents' support? So I decisively refused."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He sighed heavily, and the boss also said helplessly: "Now this kid has graduated from college for more than a year, but he is just messing around all day long.
"
"Sell this thing today and that thing tomorrow. I said, can't you just sell something? He said no, we have to pay attention to efficiency. You have to sell something when you have to sell something. You are busy all day long, from morning to night, with us.
Likewise, I can’t sleep for more than a few hours a day.”
"Isn't this boy Junjie still doing something else?" The lady boss handed the wrapped steamed buns to the boss beside her and couldn't help but said:
"I see that Junjie has been looking bad lately. I feel like even if he sells 500 pieces of clothes a day, he won't be so tired, right?"
"I always feel like this kid is weird. He comes here every day to have something to eat and then leaves. He doesn't even want to talk."
After a pause, the landlady added, "Originally, this kid wanted to come and make breakfast with us, and I've thought about it too."
"But his uncle and I opened a store here, and our income was limited. The cost of hiring employees was too high, so he had to do it by himself."
"Stop talking." Glancing at his wife, the store owner's expression suddenly changed, as if he was intentionally reminding her.
The landlady sighed, turned and walked towards the workbench.
At this time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant who was hanging out in the lobby came over and greeted everyone: "Lao Zhang, we are done and ready to go back."
"Don't leave yet. Let's eat a few drawers of steamed buns before we leave. It's so late at night."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss pulled out several drawers of xiaolongbao and brought them to the living room with skillful movements.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant was not polite and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Lao Zhang."
"Eat quickly, the steamed buns are hot right out of the oven."
"Yeah." The owner of the barbecue restaurant nodded silently, and then called his wife and the clerk to come over. The three of them gathered around and ate the xiaolongbao leisurely.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she also looked curious and said: "You tenants really live in harmony."
"Isn't that right? We all rent in a shop and we have become acquainted with each other for a long time. Sometimes they will treat us to barbecue."
"For example, they work at night and may be busy until one or two in the morning, sometimes three in the morning, while we work in the morning."
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "We just chatted with them for a while and found out that this place was actually sub-leased to three groups of people."
"That's right, the shop is closed anyway. This shop is open 24 hours a day." The boss sighed and said with a wry smile: "I can only say that this landlord is very good at doing business."
"As in the bustling commercial district of Jiangnan City now, the rent is so high. You can only say that if we cooperate outside, the pressure on each other will be less."
"If I have a store in Jiangnan City's business district, I can rent it out."
"Everyone thinks so. In fact, we also have a chance to settle in Jiangnan City." The landlady placed several plates of vinegar directly on the dining table in the living room.
Lu Weiwei looked curious and asked quickly: "When was that? Was it when housing prices were cheap?"
"Yes, even if I didn't buy it at the time, I didn't expect to stay in Jiangnan City for such a long time." When the proprietress mentioned this, she also looked annoyed:
"At that time, the situation was not big, so I thought to myself, since I already have a house at home, why would I buy a house outside? I will have to go back to my hometown anyway."
"But who would have thought that in those few years, the housing prices in Jiangnan City were like riding a rocket, soaring up."
"But by the time we realized it, we had already missed the best opportunity to buy a house. If we could have bought an apartment in Jiangnan City earlier, we would have made more money than we have worked for breakfast for many years."
Sighing heavily, the landlady said helplessly: "Those who do physical business are really not as good as those who speculate on real estate."
"Haha, don't complain." The boss passed by.
Only then did Lu Weiwei realize that the boss seemed to have packed a lot of xiaolongbao.
Smelling the fragrance, Lu Weiwei also looked curious: "You are pretty fast, how many drawers have you packed?"
"Well, there are more than 60 drawers, and I think I need to pack almost 40 drawers."
Seeing Lu Weiwei covering her stomach, the boss also grinned: "Well, if you are hungry, I will treat you to Xiao Long Bao when it is steamed here."
"Haha, thank you then. You don't need to invite me. I'm sorry to delay your business. We'll buy it."
"It's okay." The landlady felt that Lu Weiwei was a little strange, so she asked out of curiosity: "By the way, is the missing young man you mentioned really with my nephew Hu Junjie?"
"That's right. They met while skateboarding, and the other person was determined to do business with Hu Junjie. He had a big fight with his uncle who had raised him for many years last night, so he ran away from home. We suspect that he is staying with your nephew Hu Junjie.
Together……"
Gu Chen also took advantage of the break between the two of them to talk about the specific situation.
After hearing Gu Chen's words, the landlady hesitated and said, "You said my nephew wants to form a partnership with someone else? Do you want that young man to become a shareholder?"
"Yes, that's what the missing young man told us." Lu Weiwei said.
But the landlady thought for a few seconds, seemingly in disbelief.
