Jiang Yue said, “I wanted to make it into vermicelli like rice flour, but unlike rice flour, the raw materials can’t be bought to continue making starch. Even if it’s made, our family can’t eat that much. If we want to sell it, it won’t be long before it’s all sold out. So I thought about it again to see if we can make more things out of that starch.”
Xue Sifu quickly agreed.
“That potato starch looks like a lot, but if you really make it into vermicelli and sell it, it won’t be long before it’s all sold out. You’re right, you should think about it again. By the way, Jiang Yue, don’t be in such a hurry to think about
You should help me think about what to eat for breakfast first. I’ll be living in this shop in the future, so I want to make use of this shop for all three meals a day. Usually, no one comes to our shop to eat rice noodles in the morning. People usually come only when it’s almost noon, so we can’t waste the time we have in the morning doing nothing.
“I want to make some breakfast sales. I’ve observed the items sold in town. Mantou, steamed buns, porridge, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, dumplings, wonton, and so on are the best, but everyone is used to buying these at a fixed place. Why should they come to our place to buy these items?
“That means the things we make here will naturally have to be a little different from others, and the price has to be similar. Otherwise, those people would rather buy breakfast at a familiar place.
“No one sells breakfast on this street. Even if other people think it’s far and won’t come, as long as the breakfast in our shop is delicious and cheap, at least these people will come to our shop to eat breakfast.”
Jiang Yue also felt that if they wanted to make more money out of this shop, they had to make full use of the daytime.
Jiang Yue nodded. “Alright, let me think about this first.”
Xue Da was getting on in years and had been out for so long. Even though he was excited and happy, his body couldn’t take it anymore, so Xue Dafu brought him back home.
Xue Sifu asked the carriage to be driven back so that they could get home earlier, and the ox-cart was left in town.
Now, there was a shed for livestock in the shop, which could accommodate cows and horses.
Xue Yifu didn’t dare to learn how to ride a horse, nor did he dare to sit on a horse’s back. However, he was very good at driving a carriage. As such, Xue Yifu was in charge of driving the carriage while Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Da, and Xue Dafu sat in the carriage. Xue Erfu was also in the carriage, but he didn’t sit in the carriage. He was afraid that Yifu would be lonely, and for the sake of safety, he also sat outside with Yifu. After all, he was very good at riding a horse now, and he was quite familiar with pulling the reins.
At home, Liu Guixia and Li Hehua were in the central room, playing with Xue
Shi in the bed.
Yu Hongyan was sleeping in her room.
Xue Shi would always cry at night, and it was so noisy that Yu Hongyan couldn’t sleep well. It was only during the day when Liu Guixia and Li Hehua carried Xue Shi out and coaxed him that Yu Hongyan could have a good sleep.
When Jiang Yue came back, she was forced to the side of the rocking bed by Xue Erfu. Xue Yan was the same. Xue Erfu told them to play with Xue Shi, so that Liu Guixia and Li Hehua could have time to do other things. Xue Erfu had even stuffed a small rattle-drum into her hands.
Jiang Yue shook her head.
When Xue Shi heard her voice, he opened his eyes wide and looked at her without blinking.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yue stopped shaking.
Xue Shi immediately pouted and looked like he was about to cry.
Jiang Yue was speechless..
