That evening, Qin Xiang'an also heard from Lao Lu about Sister-in-law Lu's plan to set up a breakfast stall.

"Wife, this was your and Sister-in-law Lu's idea."

Qin Xiang'an heard about this from Lao Lu when Lao Lu brought tea eggs to the army base that morning.

"Yes, Sister-in-law Lu originally wanted to buy clothes from my store, but the store only offers discounts if you buy 2,000 yuan worth of goods, and the wholesale price is also lower."

"Sister-in-law Lu didn't have that much money, so I suggested to her that she could try selling breakfast."

"This has low costs, quick returns, and high profits."

"No wonder, I was a little surprised when I heard from Lao Lu that Sister-in-law Lu was going to start a business."

"It's not surprising. There are more and more people doing business now, and Sister-in-law Lu's cooking skills are already good. She just didn't think of this. I just reminded her."

"Even if I don't remind her, Sister-in-law Lu has the idea of ​​starting a business. Even if I don't say it, she will figure it out herself later."

"Yes, the steamed buns and tea eggs at noon today were delicious, we ate them all," Xiao Yu said.

Shen Jingyue only ate a little of the breakfast that Sister-in-law Lu brought in the morning, and saved the rest for lunch.

"Mom, let's go buy some breakfast from Aunt Lu when she sells it." Xiao Yi also thought the steamed buns and tea eggs for lunch were delicious.

"What's wrong? Is the breakfast I made not good?" Qin Xiang'an glanced at Xiao Yi upon hearing this.

Xiao Yi quickly shook her head, "No, Dad's breakfast is delicious too."

"Alright, hurry up and eat."

After dinner, the children went to wash the dishes, and Shen Jingyue pulled Qin Xiang'an back into the house.

After entering the house, Qin Xiang'an asked, "Have you found the people who are renovating that courtyard house?"

I heard her say before that she was looking for someone to renovate her courtyard house, but I don't know if she has found anyone yet.

If not, he can ask someone for help.

"We found it. Construction can begin in a few days. There are many areas to be repaired, and some areas will need to be rebuilt, so they said it is expected to take about a month and a half to complete."

"When will construction start? I'll go with you to take a look."

"You're free?" Shen Jingyue asked in surprise.

"Yes, I can take a vacation then and go with you to see it."

There's nothing much going on in the military now, so he can take a day off.

"Okay, then I'll take you there to have a look in a couple of days."

The next day around six o'clock, Sister-in-law Lu picked up a carrying pole and headed out of the family compound.

Today she planned to try it out first to see if it would sell well, so she didn't make many breakfasts, only about twenty of each kind.

If it sells well, she can make more to sell tomorrow.

A neighbor saw her carrying a shoulder pole so early in the morning and asked curiously, "Where are you going so early, Sister Lu, carrying a shoulder pole?"

"I'm making some steamed buns and mantou to sell," Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile.

He also asked, "Auntie, would you like to buy some steamed buns and tea eggs to take home for breakfast?"

"Great! I was just about to go out to buy breakfast. How much are your steamed buns?"

Sister-in-law Lu put down the carrying pole, then lifted the cotton cloth on top, revealing fragrant meat buns inside.

"What kind of filling do these buns have? How much are they?"

"The ones with pickled cabbage and minced pork filling are one cent each."

"They're quite big. Give me those three meat buns instead."

"Okay."

Sister-in-law Lu took out a piece of oil paper and put three hot meat buns in it for her.

The auntie took out three cents and handed it over, then took the bun wrapped in oil paper.

"It's delicious, I'll buy it again next time."

After selling all the buns, Sister Lu covered them with the cotton cloth again to prevent the dust from getting them dirty.

Covering the buns with a cotton cloth also prevents them from cooling down too quickly.

Sister-in-law Lu continued carrying her load on her shoulder pole as she walked outside.

During that time, I also met some other sisters-in-law and older women.

Sister-in-law Lu asked everyone if they wanted to buy steamed buns; some bought them, and some didn't.

As Sister-in-law Lu left the residential compound, she called out, "Selling steamed buns! Delicious, big meat buns!"

And surprisingly, several people actually bought it after she shouted that out.

She went to the vicinity of the factory today. There were quite a few people coming to work at this time, and some of them wanted to buy a few steamed buns outside to take to the factory to eat.

There are several breakfast stalls around here.

Sister-in-law Lu didn't go too close. She found a spot that was a bit far from the other stalls but close to the roadside and stopped there to set up her stall.

"Selling steamed buns! Delicious meat buns and tea eggs!"

Sister Lu's calls were quite effective; several people came to her to buy steamed buns and tea eggs.

"How much is one of these steamed buns?" a man asked.

"One cent each. My buns are big with lots of filling and taste great. Want a few?"

"Then two steamed buns, please." He noticed some tea eggs nearby and asked, "How much are these tea eggs?"

"Tea eggs are a bit pricey, 15 cents each. My tea eggs are very fragrant, would you like to buy one to try? If you like them, come again next time."

Sister-in-law Lu deftly wrapped two steamed buns for him, and when she saw him asking about the tea eggs next to her, she asked...

"Okay, then I'll have one." It smelled pretty good.

"Okay, just a moment."

Sister-in-law Lu then gave him a piece of oiled paper and put a tea egg in it.

After receiving the money, Sister-in-law Lu smiled and saw the person off, saying, "Come again if you like it."

"Meat buns, delicious meat buns, and fragrant tea eggs, so delicious!"

Because Sister Lu didn't bring many steamed buns and tea eggs, they were all sold out in less than an hour.

Even Sister-in-law Lu herself didn't expect to be able to buy them so quickly.

If I had known earlier, I would have done more.

I must make more tomorrow, and also more tea eggs.

On her way back, Sister-in-law Lu bought a lot of flour and eggs.

The weather is hot now, and meat won't keep for long, so she pre-ordered pork directly from someone. To keep the pork fresh, she always gets up early to pick it up.

When Sister-in-law Lu went back, she ran into Shen Jingyue, who was coming out of the family compound.

When Shen Jingyue saw Sister Lu carrying a shoulder pole back, she went over to her.

"Sister-in-law Lu, are you going to sell breakfast?"

"Yes, Sister Shen, thanks to your suggestion, I took steamed buns and tea eggs to sell this morning, and business was booming."

"I was thinking that I didn't make enough this morning. If I had made more, maybe I could have sold them all."

Sister-in-law Lu smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared from her grin.

I made some money today, not much, but it's much better than staying at home doing nothing.

"That's great! I wish you a prosperous business, Sister Lu, and that you make lots of money so you can open a breakfast shop someday."

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes."

Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Sister-in-law Lu is no exception.

The two chatted for a bit, but Shen Jingyue had to go to the store, so she left after finishing her conversation.
