Chapter 64: Delicious steamed buns
Cai Gen waited all night, the small shop turnover stopped at 521 yuan, there were no surprises in the second half of the night, stay up, there is still a month for students from other places to take a holiday, and then the business will be good.
Lying on the bench for half a night, Xiao Sun still went to the attic to sleep, the quality of sleep was good, because he was thin and did not snore, Cai Gen was downstairs on the military bed, and he slept well for half a night.
People are also strange, although all kinds of strange things continue, as long as the store sells money, Cai Gen feels that everything else doesn't matter, it's not that important.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, Cai Gen was woken up by the alarm clock set, put on his coat, and wanted to go to the morning market, Xiao Sun hadn't gotten up yet, forget it, don't call him, and locked the door after going out.
The morning market is not far away, a 15-minute walk, and it used to be even closer, which is a wide road, and the spontaneous formation of the morning market, symbolizing the management fee and sanitation fee of the sexual intersection, selling something cheap, and satisfying those who need to support their families and are willing to endure hardship.
Later, there were more and more people, the cake was getting bigger and bigger, and the fees for various names were also increasing, and finally I felt that the charges were not enjoyable.
How much money can I have if I can go to the morning market and sell things? Many of them are rural people who grow something in their own small garden, rush early, exchange some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar money, or the old lady takes rags and old clothes and sews some small pads, insoles or something, all of which are not enough for the rent of the stall.
All sorts of conflicts followed, and after all, the old morning market was evacuated, and some people with a little savings went to the new morning market.
The wool is all from the sheep, the rent of the stalls has increased, and the price of the morning market has also gone up.
In fact, it is the same as Cai Gen's takeaway, why is the rice expensive, because the use of the software is expensive, in a traditional catering industry to charge one-fifth of the net profit, all businesses are uncomfortable don't want it, but the takeaway software has entered the capital harvest period, and no one can do anything.
Consumers have formed a habit of use, and the price of the whole chain has risen together, and in the end it is the consumer who suffers, and the merchant can only accompany and stay up.
In winter, Cai Gen rarely buys vegetables, basically the same price as meat, so it is better to eat meat. I bought some hairtail, bought some chicken legs, and finally saw that the haggis was very clean, and bought some haggis, my wife likes to drink haggis soup very much, and my son is not picky.
Drink soup and eat pasta, you have to buy steamed buns, a very famous steamed bun stall, 1 yuan 4, very cheap, Cai Gen also queued up together.
When 3 more people arrived at Cai Gen, there was an aunt who asked for food, and the ragged cotton jacket was all exposed, and there were a lot of plastic bags wrapped around the body, probably to keep out the cold.
The face is dirty, but the hair is very neat, the face is full of wrinkles, very old, in the city, less than eighty years old is not to this point, but look at the aunt's body is still very good, the wind and food sleeping in the open is more old, there must not be more than eighty.
Cai Gen had heard a saying before, those who ask for food don't ask for breakfast, but if they can get up early, they won't ask for food. I can't remember who said it, I really want to give him a big mouth, there are many people in the morning market, and those who ask for food can't afford to eat early, where can I go to ask for food? Go to a supermarket mall? The security guards won't let you in.
The aunt who asked for food was holding a broken iron tea jar in her hand, shaking the iron tea jar while chattering in her mouth,
"Okay, good Samaritan, help. Good work, good Samaritan, help. ”
There are several coins in the iron tea jar, and the impact sound is obvious, attracting people's attention.
The aunt is next to the steamed bun stall, and everyone who pays for the steamed bun will inevitably pass by the aunt who asks for food, but Cai Gen observed that no one paid for it, and there were no scattered coins.
It was more than five o'clock in the morning in winter, the sky was not yet bright, more than 20 degrees below zero, and the heat of steaming steamed buns turned the vicinity of the stall into a fairyland on earth, but this aunt who asked for food was out of place in the fairyland.
Soon it was Cai Gen's turn, took out 10 yuan, and handed it to the boss,
"Buy 6 yuan steamed buns, put 5 yuan in a bag, and give her 1 yuan."
After speaking, Cai Gen pointed to the aunt, the male boss is very young, the same age as Cai Gen, with glasses, Cai Gen guessed that he might also work hard outside and return to his hometown to start a business.
The male boss had a layer of white mist on his glasses, so he needed to be very close to the money, and when he saw that it was 10 yuan, he quickly found five yuan and handed it to Cai Gen,
"You don't have to spend money on her steamed buns, I'll pay for them."
He turned around and picked up 20 steamed buns and put them in a bag and handed them to Cai Gen.
I picked up 4 steamed buns and put them in a bag and handed them to the aunt who asked for food.
The aunt who asked for food was very surprised, took the steamed bun and thanked the boss for her kindness, and left with the steamed bun, it can be seen that it is really not to ask for money, just to eat a full meal.
Cai Gen admired the boss's behavior very much, smiled kindly, took the steamed bun and turned around and left, but there were many people in line, and it was not very fast, and a voice came from his ear, it was the boss who was talking to the next person who bought steamed buns,
"Take a dollar to put a calf, and kidnap me morally, have that kindness, lead the family."
The kind smile is still hanging on the corner of the mouth, and the idea that the world is very warm is still in my heart.
Cai Gen was stunned, he knew that he was the one who took a dollar to pretend to be a calf, and he inadvertently kidnapped others.
I was stunned on the spot, and wanted to turn around and theorize, but my heart was as disgusting as eating one, not a hundred flies, and I couldn't say how uncomfortable it was.
The most favorable response is to turn around, take out 100 yuan, and throw it in the face of the steamed bun boss.
And then what was the result? What about after eating 100 yuan? How many waves of uncles and aunts are there in the morning market?
Took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a puff, Cai Gen stood in the bustling crowd of the morning market, if you don't move, the people around you will automatically find a way out and bypass you, so it doesn't matter if you move or not, or, not so important.
In the end, Cai Gen still moved, went out of the morning market, walked to the store, and saw the aunt who asked for food on the way, in the shelter of a high-rise building, and another old man lying in a broken bed, sharing steamed buns, I listened to the accent just now I am not a local, this small city is so poor, it is really not a good place to ask for food, go the wrong way.
When I returned to the store, when I opened the door, I saw that Xiao Sun had already gotten up and finished washing and was cleaning, and Cai Gen was very satisfied.
I put all the vegetables I bought back and started making haggis soup.
Add oil to the pot, heat it, fry the green onions, ginger and garlic cooking wine, put the haggis, fry it a little bigger, add cold water, and the rest is to boil slowly.
After Cai Gen boiled the haggis soup, he came to the bar and began to incense, 9 incense sticks in the morning, and begged for it, the world was peaceful and the business was prosperous.
The incense burned well today, is it because of a good deed in the morning? But the money was spent by the steamed bun boss, and it was so fragrant if it didn't burn my hands.
Seeing Cai Gen's incense, Xiao Sun couldn't help shaking his head and muttering,
"It's useless, it's useless if you don't work."
