Chapter 82: Selling Breakfast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, Song Yao woke up early and started to make breakfast.
Song Yao only cooked a pot of porridge, tea eggs, and rougamo as they were difficult to store for a long time.
The average salary in Sangqiu City in the 1980s was only about ten yuan. The salary in town would only be lower. Ordinary town residents could not afford to spend two cents on meat buns. The people who came to eat breakfast were none other than young teachers who were in a hurry to work and did not have time to make breakfast, or elementary school students who did not eat well with their pocket money.
Song Xiao couldn’t set up the stall today, so he followed Liang Jie and called those people in. After ordering the food, he asked Song Yao to prepare it.
Song Yao’s small shop’s breakfast was economical. There were meat buns with thin skin and a lot of filling. The porridge was light and delicious. Coupled with a salted duck egg that was brimming with oil with just a poke, it was simply delicious!
The residents who came to eat breakfast quickly surrounded the house. Song Xiao and Liang Jie were too busy. In the end, Gu Li and Sun Hao came over to help.
There were also residents from other towns who came to eat. They even said that Song Yao’s food was indeed delicious, but it was a pity that she was too far away. When Song Yao heard this, she immediately gave him a business card. This way, when he wanted to eat, he could have someone send it over at any time.
Such a considerate service made the foreign customers especially satisfied. Before they left, they even gave a few more cents as a tip.
Song Yao put away the tip and saw that someone else had come to eat.
Song Yao looked at the empty pot and didn’t blame the other party for coming late. Instead, she gave him a business card and told him to get someone to send it over when he wanted to eat it.
Just like that, Song Yao worked until past eight in the morning and earned more than 20 yuan!
Even though she was exhausted, Song Yao still panted and returned to her room to feed Baby Xuan.
Gu Li made a big bowl of pork trotter soup for Song Yao. “You must be tired, right? I wonder when your father will come back!”
Song Yao smiled tiredly. “Mom, there’s no hurry. It’s normal to be busy for the first few days.”
“Why do I feel that I’m getting busier and busier?” Gu Li looked displeased. Song Yao had not rested for more than a few hours last night and had to be busy cooking. If she did not hire a few people, she was really worried that her daughter’s body would collapse from exhaustion!
“I called your aunt this morning and asked her to find a few hardworking female workers for you.”
Song Yao finished the pork trotter soup. “It’s good to be busy. We can earn a lot of money. You hired so many people, so we have to spend a lot of money, right?”
Gu Li glared at her angrily. “You really only have eyes for money!”
After breakfast, although there weren’t that many people coming to the convenience store, there were still a few primary school students who sneaked out from the school gate to buy snacks during class. Every time they came over, they would buy a few spicy strips and a bag of Happy Peaches. In the end, even Song Xiao began to wonder if this thing was really that delicious.
He took a packet and sat on the sofa. Just as he was about to eat it, he saw a few young men in uniforms enter the main hall!
This also shocked Song Xiao!
He wondered if something had happened to the food in their shop.
Song Xiao climbed up to the second floor to look for his sister, but he was stopped by a middle-aged man behind him. “Child! Is this Song
Yao’s house?”
“Huh? Yes? Police officer, what happened?” Because he was too nervous, Song Xiao was so frightened that he stuttered.
The man smiled. “Nothing. Do you know Sun Hao?”
Why were they looking for his cousin? Song Xiao was puzzled, but he saw Sun Hao riding his bicycle into the main hall. “I’m Sun Hao!”
“It’s like this. Someone returned this at the police station in Sangqiu City previously.” After the man finished speaking, he returned a tattered wallet to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao took the wallet and was as happy as if he had obtained a treasure.
At this moment, Song Yao followed him downstairs. When she saw a group of men in uniforms gathered downstairs, it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. “Did something happen?”
“I’m fine!” Song Xiao ran over. “I think Cousin lost money.”
After the police left, Sun Hao grabbed his wallet and refused to let go.
Song Yao went up to take a look curiously. “Cousin, what exactly is in your wallet?”
Sun Hao sighed and took out a tattered photo from his wallet. “Yao, will you not despise Cousin for being useless?”
He paused for a moment and continued, “This wallet was a gift from your sister-in-law when we were dating. At that time, we were about the same age as Xiao. They were so loving back then. Why did they change their minds now?”
It could be seen that Sun Hao still could not let go of his wife, Wu Xia..
