Chapter 43: Baozi Shop Opening

When we arrived at the Su's house, Su Wensong had already cleaned the yard. The cart with the food was parked in the yard, but he had not had time to unload it.

Seeing her coming, Grandma Su asked her if she had had breakfast and made her some sugar water.

Lin Chuxia took the water with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll come every day from now on."

Grandma Su also knew that today was the day the bun shop opened. She pointed to the plaque on the side and said, "Can you take a look? That brat brought it back yesterday and insisted that my handwriting wasn't as good as before. I haven't written for a long time."

Two days ago, they discussed the name of the bun shop. Su Wensong took the initiative to offer to design the plaque. Lin Chuxia trusted him and gave him full authority to handle the matter.

Lin Chuxia lifted the cloth, and five gold-plated characters appeared before her eyes: Qin Ji Baozi Shop. The first two characters were small characters written vertically, and the three characters Baozi Shop were spread all over the plaque. The most important character was this one...

She looked at Su Wensong in shock. The latter smiled with a simple face and said, "My grandmother's surname is Lou." He actually didn't expect Lin Chuxia to recognize this calligraphy.

If it weren't for the experience in her previous life, Lin Chuxia would naturally not recognize these words, and she would only feel that these words flowed smoothly and were full of charm.

But she had experiences from her past life, and she clearly remembered that at one auction, a masterpiece was sold. The artist was a woman whose surname was Lou, given name Huazhuo, and courtesy name Yuqiong.

It was revealed that because of this name, her masterpieces were almost destroyed and the old woman never wrote again, so her paintings and calligraphy works became extremely precious. At that time, that piece of calligraphy was sold to a collector at a high price of 60 million.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Su was the woman with such extraordinary talent.

"Grandma, your handwriting is really beautiful. Don't listen to Brother Su. With your handwriting, our bun shop will definitely have a booming business."

"I'm glad that Xiaolin doesn't mind," Grandma Su smiled happily.

"Of course I don't mind." As a bun shop that was personally nominated by Lou Huazhuo, Lin Chuxia couldn't imagine whether her bun shop's storefront or the plaque would be more valuable in the future.

"What do you mean you don't dislike me? Boss Lin, please don't dislike me," Aunt Sun came in from outside and said with a smile, "Am I late?"

"It's not too late. We won't be selling breakfast today. We still have time."

Auntie Sun started working yesterday and washed and wiped the cooking utensils, stoves, and the newly arrived tables, chairs, and benches over and over again.

You know what, Aunt Sun is really good at doing things.

Moreover, after changing his identity and perspective, he no longer felt that Aunt Sun was mean and calculating. Instead, he felt that she was cheerful and generous, with the simplicity of a country girl.

"That's good. I'll go pick the vegetables first," Aunt Sun said without any hesitation.

She is a person who cannot sit still, otherwise she wouldn't be selling buns at a stall at her old age.

Now that I have a proper job, even though I worked for nothing in the first month, I feel motivated to work hard when I think about the days when I will get paid every month.

Su Wensong and Lin Chuxia also got busy and unloaded the car. Su Wensong chopped the meat, while Lin Chuxia and Aunt Sun prepared the vegetarian filling.

After a while, Qin's father and mother also arrived.

Trays of thin-skinned and large-stuffed meat and vegetarian buns are wrapped, offered to the Kitchen God, and the fire is started.

The first batch of buns were steamed at exactly 10:50.

Su Wensong hung up the plaque, covered it with a red cloth, and hung firecrackers in front of the store.

Seeing this action, some people came over curiously to watch.

At 10:58, when the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers were lit. Accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, Lin Chuxia tore off the red cloth covering the plaque.

Qin's father and mother were illiterate, and when they heard people talking about Qin's Baozi Shop, they felt indescribable. Su Wensong and Aunt Sun also applauded, looking at the neat and capable woman in a white shirt and black pants in front of the shop, their eyes were full of excitement and hope.

Lin Chuxia didn't have much to say in the beginning. She had already made a name for herself at the train station, and when people knew it was her bun shop, they immediately paid to show their support.

In order to reward new and old customers, we will offer a buy five get one free offer in the first three days of opening.

At the same time, the bun shop also offers a variety of cold dishes, including millet porridge, corn porridge, and eight-treasure porridge, which can be enjoyed in the store at any time.

If you don’t like porridge, you can also drink free tea in the store. The service is quite thoughtful.

Aunt Sun and Su Wensong also put on white sleeves, white chef hats, and white aprons.

One was selling buns at the window, and the other was busy in the store.

Lin Chuxia would go and help out wherever she saw someone was too busy.

At this time, three people walked in from outside the door.

Li Jian pointed at the sign outside and said, "Qin's Steamed Bun Shop, Boss Lin, you have quite a presence here. I wish you a prosperous business."

Lin Chuxia hurried over to greet him, "Brother Li, you are being rude to me. Please come in and have something to eat. I'll treat you today. Thank you, Brother Li, for coming to support me."

Li Jian waved his hand and said, "No need. I just came here today to try your buns. You've been selling buns for such a long time, but how many have I eaten?"

Lin Chuxia followed with a smile, "If Brother Li says so, then I should treat this guest. Please wait a moment, I will go get you some food. We have some side dishes. I remember Brother Li and Brother Wang like to drink a little, how about another bottle of Erguotou?"

Traveling with Li Jian was Wang Cheng, who had sold her the cart.

Wang Cheng loves to drink, and Lin Chuxia heard it when she bought the cart.

Sure enough, when he heard there was wine to drink, Wang Cheng became more easy-going.

Lin Chuxia quickly put each side dish on a plate, took a bottle of Erguotou and three cups.

While setting up the table, he casually said, "This is the first time I see this big brother. I don't know what to call him."

Li Jian took the bottle and poured wine for several people while replying to Lin Chuxia, "This is Director Hu, who is in charge of wholesale and retail at our vegetable station. Do you think I have the power to give you a discount on vegetable prices? It's all Director Hu's face."

"Then I really didn't recognize a great man. Today's shop is simple, I will have to treat Director Hu well another day."

Hu Jun nodded slightly, "Boss Lin, you are too polite. Your Baozi Shop buys a lot of vegetables every day, so it is only natural that I can give you a discount. I am also following the rules."

Having said that, Lin Chuxia knew clearly that the dishes she bought from her small steamed bun shop could never compare with those sold in other stores.
She also understood that Li Jian brought this person here deliberately to introduce him to her.

Just after the greetings, two familiar faces came into the store, Sister Liu who sold melon seeds at the train station and Brother Chen who sold fruit.

Normally, these two people never buy meals outside. They either go home to eat or their family members deliver meals to them. Today, they came to the bun shop to support her.

In addition to the store discounts, Lin Chuxia also gave away a cold dish.

The bun shop opened at 11 o'clock and was busy until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when there were fewer people.

The buns are steamed as they are sold, but even so, most of the ingredients they prepared in the morning have been used up, so they probably will have to close their business before the evening.

Seeing that business was good, Su Wensong wanted to purchase more ingredients, but was stopped by Lin Chuxia.
