Joe's Farming

Chapter 278 So expensive?

Originally, the four of them just wanted to go over to see if the store was open, because not all stores sell three meals a day.

As a result, when they looked at the grand scene of people queuing up to buy breakfast in front of them, they instantly realized that they had underestimated this small shop yesterday. Even the most famous restaurant in Suining had never seen such a scene.

The breakfast items at the snack bar mainly include soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

There was no buns or steamed buns for sale. Qiao Yu felt that it was too tiring. She had to get up very early to make the dough, knead the dough, and chop the stuffing.

Moreover, steamed buns are available in many stores, so they are not very competitive.

Even the century egg and lean meat porridge, I didn't want to sell it at first, but later I felt that it was a bit monotonous to have only fried dough sticks as a staple food, so I added it. I cook a big pot every morning, and if I can't sell it all in the morning, I can sell it at noon, so it doesn't affect it and doesn't require too much manpower.

Besides, they were the only two restaurants in town that had this porridge, so they had no problem selling it. The price was also high.

The daily supply of soy milk and fried dough sticks is fixed, and we will stop when they are sold out.

After a short rest, you have to prepare lunch, and you usually have some free time in the afternoon.

Because the fried dough sticks and soy milk are limited, there will be people waiting at the door every day when the store is not open. Especially the wealthy families will specially ask people to wait at the door to be the first to buy.

Hong Geer spotted the four people behind the crowd at a glance and said to Lu Feng calmly, "Tell Mei Zi not to come out."

Lu Feng nodded, helped Mei Zi, who was serving soy milk to the guests, to take the food tray, and then told her to go to the backyard and not come out.

Mei Zi immediately lowered her head and went to the backyard.

Tian Qi led his men into the store and found that there were no empty seats at the table.

"Boss, there are no seats left. What should I do?"

Hong Ge'er hurried forward to explain, "My dear guests, there are many people eating breakfast in our restaurant, and we eat quickly. Would you like to wait a little, or share a table with other guests?"

Just as Hong Ge'er finished speaking, a man who had already sat down shouted, "Brother, sit at my table. My table is full of seats."

Tian Qi had prepared a lot of "truths" to embarrass Hong Ge'er, but when this man opened his mouth, he had to sit down with a wry smile. He really wanted to come here to cause trouble, but he didn't dare to be so blatant as to affect their mission.

It is both stupid and cowardly.

"What would the four guests like to eat?" Hong Ge'er smiled.

This stumped the four of them. They didn't recognize anything on the table except tofu pudding and soy milk.

Moreover, the tofu pudding seemed to be different from the one they ate. The tofu pudding in the snack bar was salty, with a spoonful of red chili oil, and some soybean, soy sauce, and chopped green onions on top. They had never seen it before.

Why does his porridge look so weird in color?

Youtiao? I've never eaten it before.

"Let's have the yellow, long ones, one per person. If they taste good, order more." Tian Qi said.

He observed that everyone in the queue was there to buy that thing.

Hong Ge'er agreed.

The man at Tian Qi's table spoke up: "Hey, brother, one stick per person is not enough? I eat five sticks by myself. And how can you eat fried dough sticks without soy milk? You must have it. It tastes so good when soaked in soy milk."

Tian Qi then said to Hong Ge'er in a bossy manner: "Then add eight more and give each of you a bowl of soy milk."

Hong Geer agreed, and then asked, "Do you like spicy food? Our tofu pudding is also good."

Zhang Man blew his beard and glared: "Why add chili to tofu pudding? I want to add sugar."

Hong Ge'er: ...

"I'm really sorry, sir. Our tofu pudding is salty. There's a sweet one on the left outside." Hong Ge'er continued to smile.

Zhang Man looked at him greedily and said, "No, the soy milk should be sweet, right? It should be salty. I don't drink it."

"Don't worry, customers, soy milk is sweet."

Tian Qi waved his hand quickly: "Go quickly. Master Qi, I'm almost starving to death."

-

Xiao Si was outside watching them feasting in the snack bar. He touched his stomach and guessed that they would need to eat for a while, so he turned around to look for Ling Lie and Xiao Jiu.

After serving the fried dough sticks, Hong Ge took some time to go back to the backyard.

Mei Zi is young and doesn't look very well at the moment, but she is much better than yesterday.

At this moment, I am squatting in the backyard picking vegetables with Hong Ge'er's brother and sister.

When Mei Zi saw Hong Ge'er come in, she asked if the person had left.

Hong Ge'er shook his head. He came here specifically to comfort Mei Zi.

"Don't be afraid, Meizi. They will leave soon. You just have to stay in the backyard today."

Meizi nodded gratefully: "I don't feel wronged, thank you Brother Hong."

-

When Ling Lie arrived, the four of them had finished eating the last fried dough stick.

Li Zhuzi's eyes were glued to Song Yingzi, and he said with lingering feelings: "Seventh brother, this fried dough stick is really delicious. Can I have another bowl of tofu pudding? I've never tasted spicy tofu pudding."

Tian Qi was also satisfied with the meal, so he said generously: "Order."

Zhang Tie: "I want a bowl too. Three fried dough sticks won't fill me up at all."

Tian Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's my treat, you can buy it yourself."

Zhang Tie immediately said, "I'm full."

Seeing that everyone wanted to try the salty tofu pudding, Chen Man also ordered a bowl.

Ling Lie: "Fuck, these guys are eating non-stop."

As he said this, he took out a pancake. Seeing that Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu were looking at him pitifully, he gave each of them a piece of the pancake.

"Eat it while you're still alive. I'll cook you a good meal when I've done something good."

Ling Lie soothed.

Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu nodded while eating. They were the dumbest ones as they didn't bring any pancakes.

The person who was following was eating a biscuit outside, while the four people in the store were slowly preparing to pay the bill after eating tofu pudding.

"What?! Sixty cents for just this little thing?!"

Tian Qi said loudly unconsciously.

Hong Ge'er had never seen a bandit, but he had seen many customers who came to the snack bar without asking about the price, and then complained that it was too expensive after eating.

"Don't worry, customer. Let me calculate for you. One fried dough stick costs three cents, and you ordered twelve, so that's thirty-six cents. A bowl of soy milk costs two cents, eight cents. A bowl of tofu pudding costs four cents, sixteen cents. So the total is sixty cents."

Hong Ge'er's calculations were well-reasoned, and the man next to him nodded and said, "Brother, the boss has been here for so long, and he never makes a mistake in the calculations."

Tian Qi wanted to glare at the man. Was this a miscalculation? This store was too shady. The things were so expensive.

A bowl of sweet tofu pudding in Suining costs only two cents!

Tian Qi paid the money reluctantly. His shout just now attracted the attention of the diners. He felt embarrassed and quickly ran away with his people.

As soon as they left, Ling Lie followed with Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Si was sent to the government office to inform the government.

Tian Qi paid 60 cents for breakfast and was feeling unhappy. He heard Zhang Tie and Li Zhuzi praising the snack bar's cooking skills and wondered if they should go there for lunch.

Tian Qi said unhappily, "We were already in Qingyuan Town at noon. Do we have to rush back to eat?"

Zhang Tie and Li Zhuzi shut up.

The four of them went outside the town to hire a carriage, which cost twenty cents, but the second in command said that these expenses could be paid from the village's public account and they didn't have to pay for it themselves, so Tian Qi didn't feel bad at all.
