PDLP I don't remember Chapter 8.
I don't remember Chapter 8.
That evening.
After putting his daughter to sleep, Chen Yuan began to use a new method to make dough.
He noticed that the breakfast shop's kitchen was a bit cold because of its rough decor, and since dough needs a warm environment to rise, it was quite sensitive to temperature.
Therefore, he decided to adopt the method of preparing the dough in advance, which can ensure the success rate of dough preparation and the serving rate on the second day, and prevent accidents from happening.
Now possessing god-level dough-making skills, Chen Yuan can handle any type of dough with ease.
He quickly prepared the starter dough.
Before going to bed, he found a very rough notebook and recorded the income and expenses for the first day.
Two hundred steamed buns.
After deducting costs for utilities, gas, seasonings, and other expenses, the final net profit is...
"Only two hundred and seventy-one yuan?"
After seeing the final number in the notebook.
Chen Yuan sighed softly. To be honest, it was still somewhat different from what he had imagined.
After careful analysis, Chen Yuan felt relieved.
"There was no other way. It was the first day. Luckily, we were fortunate enough to sell all 200 buns. We also bought a lot of seasonings. But we won't need to buy any more in the future."
"Net profit should increase in the future."
Because Chen Yuan wasn't sure how things would go the next day, he only planned to add 30 more to the existing 200, just in case they weren't sold out.
Early the next morning.
Chen Yuan went to the vegetable market at four o'clock.
I made an agreement with the butcher at the market yesterday that I would come to pick up the meat every day as long as it is fresh enough.
The boss was a middle-aged man wearing a greasy apron, with a big belly, and the meat cleaver in his hand was gleaming.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out a red plastic bag from under his stall and placed it in front of Chen Yuan.
"Boss Wang."
After greeting everyone, Chen Yuan opened the plastic bag and inspected the meat inside.
Boss Wang smiled at Chen Yuan.
"How's it going? Yesterday was the first day of business, how was it?"
Chen Yuan said modestly, "It's just average. Doing business is indeed not as simple as I imagined."
Boss Wang said, "Oh, that's how it is. I was the same way on my first day slaughtering pigs. Everything is difficult at the beginning, don't be discouraged."
As he spoke, Boss Wang pointed to the bag of meat.
"I know it's not easy for you young people to start a business. This is the freshest meat I've saved for you, so eat it without worry."
Chen Yuan was relieved after checking.
He nodded to Boss Wang, paid the bill, said a few words, and left.
Chen Yuan went to the grain and oil store again.
The low-gluten flour he bought yesterday was of good quality, so he discussed it with the owner of the grain and oil store and agreed that he wouldn't need to come to buy it in person anymore. He could just call and have the owner deliver it to his store.
Upon hearing that Chen Yuan would be buying flour in large quantities, the grain and oil shop owner readily agreed and promised to offer the best possible discount.
After settling these two important matters, Chen Yuan went to buy scallions.
The quality and price of scallions vary from household to household, so you have to come and buy them in person every day to ensure the quality.
Chen Yuan carried four pounds of scallions and meat and quickly arrived at the store.
The steamed buns were wrapped up quickly.
Lazy pig Chen Youyou was also brought to the store.
While waiting for the steamed buns to cook, Chen Yuan felt a special sense of peace and contentment.
Just as he was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a fresh and sweet voice rang out.
"Is the boss there?"
Chen Yuan realized what was happening, quickly stood up, and walked to the door.
Upon seeing the person in front of him, Chen Yuan was momentarily stunned.
The girl in front of me looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with the clear and innocent eyes of a college student.
Her eyes were moist, and there was a hint of expectation in her gaze.
She had a high, straight nose, rosy and alluring lips, a small oval face, and snow-white skin with almost no blemishes, tinged with a faint pink.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Meanwhile, the thin cashmere coat she wore was quite expensive, covering her curvaceous figure and her long, straight legs accentuated by her jeans.
Even though Chen Yuan was already married and past the age of admiring beautiful women, he would still unconsciously catch his breath when he saw such a beautiful woman.
Chen Yuan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked.
"Hello, who are you...?"
Su Qingxue felt a pang of bitterness when she heard the other person ask that question.
He really didn't remember.
Su Qingxue lowered her eyes, but quickly raised them again with great determination, speaking with a hint of jokingness and a touch of melancholy.
"Men are all heartless, you don't even recognize me anymore."
Now it was Chen Yuan's turn to be confused.
Logically speaking, even if he had only seen such a beautiful girl on the street before, he would definitely remember her.
But for some reason, Chen Yuan just couldn't remember ever seeing the other person before.
Su Qingxue got even angrier. She pouted, stomped her foot unhappily, and said in a very charmingly silly way.
"Oh dear!"
"It's me, senior brother!"
"Su Qingxue! Su Qingxue, the one who went to your house for tutoring with Teacher Chen!"
Su Qingxue?
This name unlocked Chen Yuan's long-dormant memories almost instantly.
He looked Su Qingxue up and down in great surprise, and said in disbelief.
"Are you Su Qingxue?"
"Otherwise, which other Su Qingxue would call you 'Senior Brother'?"
"Oh dear!"
Chen Yuan slapped his forehead hard.
He then remembered that his father, Chen Da, was a math teacher at Yongning No. 1 Middle School.
Back when the investigations weren't so strict, his father brought a few classmates back for tutoring, including a girl named Su Qingxue.
Su Qingxue was a beauty from a young age.
She was already as dazzling as a pearl in high school, but she was still young and hadn't fully matured yet.
Chen Yuan didn't remember because he didn't have much interaction with Su Qingxue, having only seen her a few times at home.
Secondly, he was five years older than Su Qingxue. When Su Qingxue was in her senior year of high school, he had already graduated from university and worked for a year.
They don't seem like they're 5 years old normally, but one of them was working and the other was in school, so Chen Yuan just thought they were from two different generations and didn't pay much attention to them.
Upon remembering, Chen Yuan was overjoyed and quickly said...
"Su Qingxue, I remember now."
"I remember once you came to my house for tutoring from my dad, and there was one problem he explained several times, but you still couldn't understand it. I got angry and scolded you a bit. You even cried, didn't you?"
Su Qingxue: ...
"I remember my dad often came home and said, 'You're so cute when you cry.'"
Su Qingxue: What's with that elder-like tone you're using!
He noticed that Su Qingxue was pouting and seemed a little unhappy.
Chen Yuan realized what was happening and quickly said...
"That thing."
"What brings you here? Is something the matter?"
