80s control group: After the marriage exchange, I was loved by the group

Chapter 29 First Day of Business
Even though Li Guangyuan was the only son in the family in his previous life, Li Guangyuan's mother never said that she had done anything for him. She even complained that she didn't do well enough, which was why she made Li Guangyuan do a lot of things.

He would always call his two sisters-in-law home to eat and drink but not do any work.

Whenever she complained, not only Li's mother, but even Li Guangyuan would say that she was not on the same page with the family. They were all family and there was no reason to despise her.

At that time, she had lived in the Lin family for twenty years and had to endure humiliation. She was still like that when she moved to the Li family, and she didn't think there was anything wrong until later when Li Guangyuan treated her badly and she realized it.

Later, she abandoned the Li family and left her natal home. In the end, she was free and alone.

It can be said that this was the first time in her two lives that she felt the warmth of family and kinship, all given to her by the Qin family.

"Thank you, mom and sister-in-law. Zhuangzhuang is still young, so don't let sister-in-law take him to the fields. I can just steam a few pots of buns here and watch over the child."

"That's what I said. While Zhuangzhuang is sleeping, let's do more."

The house has an eight-layer pot, which is big enough, so Lin Chuxia also bought some steamers for the eight-layer pot, with five layers. However, since it was her first time setting up a stall today, she didn’t plan to use all of them and only made three steamed buns.

Her buns are neither too big nor too small, and because they are filled with pure meat, they are slightly smaller than a fist.

It is enough to steam three trays together, turn on high heat and cook for another twenty minutes.

As soon as the buns were steamed, Zhuangzhuang woke up and the little guy ran over barefoot.

"Aunt, why did you make delicious food again?"

The child was good-looking, with a chubby head and big eyes and black eyebrows like the Qin family. His two big eyes were like black grapes and seemed to glow, and his little face was rosy from sleeping, just like the dolls in the New Year pictures.

Lin Chuxia didn't have children in her previous life, and she has always liked children, but she never dared to show it.

Now looking at the sweet-mouthed and cute little Zhuangzhuang, I really like him from the bottom of my heart.

She pinched his little face and said, "Auntie, you can't do anything else but make delicious food. Wait, I'll bring you some meat buns."

He took out two meat buns from the bowl, one for Zhuangzhuang and one for Qin's mother.

"Mom, please help me taste it and see if there is a market for it."

Qin's mother thought that there was no need to taste it. The last time her son came back to the army, her daughter-in-law gave them some steamed meat buns, and they tasted great.

But seeing Lin Chuxia's expectant eyes, he took it with a smile, "Okay, then I'll try one."

After taking a bite of the meat bun, Mother Qin paused and then savored it carefully.

This was different from what she had eaten last time. It seemed to taste more fragrant. She couldn’t tell what the seasoning was, but it was delicious.

"Where are you going to sell it? I think anyone who has tasted your meat buns will definitely like them. They are so delicious."

Zhuangzhuang exhaled as he ate, "Delicious, really delicious."

Lin Chuxia smiled. Last time she only used ordinary seasonings, but this time she used her secret seasoning, so it would definitely taste better.

"I plan to go to the train station. There are a lot of people there, so I should be able to sell some. If that doesn't work, I can go to the night market. Let's try first."

Mother Qin nodded seriously, "I think it's okay."

Three steamed buns were packed in the steamers of the three-printed small pot, totaling fifteen steamed buns.

Five cages are stacked together and placed on a cart.

There was still some coal left over from last winter at home. When I was steaming buns just now, I used the charcoal fire to light the coal stove and put it in the car.

Lin Chuxia made two cloth bags, one large and one small, one for wrapping paper and packaging bags, and the other for money.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he rode the cart to the train station under the worried gaze of Qin's mother.

Nowadays, there are not as many train lines as in later generations. Although Ancheng County is a big station, there are only one train stopping in the morning and two trains in the afternoon.

The train was moving slowly at this time, and if you went a little further, you would have to stay on the train for a day or two. The boxed meals on the train were expensive and you had to queue up to buy them. Most importantly, they were not tasty, so many people would buy bread and biscuits as dry food before getting on the train, which also allowed Lin Chuxia to see the market here.

She arrived at the perfect time. The first train of the afternoon had not yet arrived at the station, but there were already many people waiting for the train with large and small bags.

She found a necessary path to the station, opened the vents of the coal stove, hung up the sign that read "Big Stuffed Meat Buns" that she had written at home, and when steam came out of the steamer on the stove, Lin Chuxia started shouting.

"Meat buns, big meat buns, hot..."

"Brother, can you buy some meat buns to eat on the bus?"

There are some rules to asking people when selling things. You don’t need to ask those who don’t even look at you, because they won’t buy from you even if you ask.

As long as the other person's eyes fall on your basket, it means he or she is interested in buying it, or at least is curious about what you are selling, so you can ask again.

The experience I gained from selling vegetables at a stall in my previous life, although I no longer have to rely on other people to make money, this experience is engraved in my bones.

Sure enough, the eldest brother took a step closer and asked, "How are you selling it?"

Lin Chuxia opened the lid of the steamer and pointed at the big, plump meat buns inside and said, "One cent each, pure meat filling."

The meat buns in the state-owned restaurant used to cost one cent each and required one or two grain coupons. Now you can buy them without grain coupons, and they cost one cent more for each bun.

Lin Chuxia’s meat buns are a little smaller than those in state-owned restaurants, and they cost only one cent each, which is a good deal.

When the man heard that it was really not expensive, he said, "Give me five," and took out fifty cents and handed it over.

"Good."

Lin Chuxia took the food bag and took out six buns from the steamer.

"Today is my first day doing business, and this is my first order, brother. I wish you a smooth journey."

"Thank you."

Xu Changping took the buns and glanced at the girl. No matter how the buns tasted, this business was a good one based on the girl's openness.

Some people started buying, and when they saw the big meat buns, others came over to ask the price.

"One dime each, full of meat filling."

"Your buns are too small. The ones in state-owned restaurants are bigger. Please make them cheaper," said an older sister.

When she did this, the people around her also looked at Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia knew that someone would find fault with this, so she explained with a smile, "Big sister, mine is a little smaller than the ones sold in state-owned restaurants. State-owned restaurants sell buns for 1.1 cents each, and some have already increased to 1.2 cents. Besides, you can't always buy hot meat buns in state-owned restaurants. If you buy one now, how about eating it hot in the car? And I guarantee that the taste of my meat buns is incomparable to those sold in state-owned restaurants. You'll know once you try them."

A man next to him stepped forward and said, "I think this head is not much different from the ones in state-owned restaurants. Girl, give me ten of them so I can take them on the road."

He often went to state-owned restaurants to eat, and he couldn't miss this smell.

"Give me six."

"Give me three to try."

The train was coming soon, and some people wanted to buy the tickets, so others were afraid that they would not be able to buy them, so they pushed the lady who had just asked the price aside.

"Don't push, don't push, I'm still buying, give me six."

Lin Chuxia first took six and gave them to the eldest sister, and then asked the people behind to not push and to line up one by one.

But who would line up at this time? Lin Chuxia could only sell buns while remembering who came first and try her best to follow the first come first served principle.
