Shen Qiuhua carefully looked at the sandwich in her hands and asked, “Binglan, won’t this be easy to imitate? It won’t be suitable to sell these in the shop, right?”
Su Binglan nodded. “You’re right, Mother. Others will know how to make this at a glance, so we might as well keep these to ourselves instead of selling them at the shop.”
Su Wenzhe rubbed his forehead and said, “I was just thinking of earning more money, that’s all.”
When Su Wenzhe thought about how much he had earned and how his children would finally be able to attend school, he became so excited that he could not sleep. Instead, he felt energized. Dark circles had even formed under his eyes when he woke up the following day.
Su Binglan could understand her big brother’s thoughts. “The tofu shop is big, so it is a waste just to sell tofu. Even our candied chestnuts and Uncle Fengchen’s eggs don’t take up much space, so we can sell more things if you’re not too tired, Big Brother.”
Su Wenzhe looked at his little sister expectantly. “Now that you’ve rested, I hope you have some new ideas.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “I do have an idea. Mother and father can make tofu at home while you sell it in the morning. Then you can sell other foods during the afternoon and evening.”
On the day of their grand opening, the entire family went to help at the shops because they feared there would be too many customers to handle. However, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin could now handle the tofu shop alone.
In the meantime, Liu Yinyin was listening attentively on the sidelines. She thought her sister-in-law’s idea was excellent. The whole family looked at Su Binglan and thought she was always full of ideas.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Big Brother, you can make herbal eggs, sesame seed buns, Chinese burgers, tofu pudding, and haggis soup. More people will order the haggis soup when it gets cold in winter. It’s more of an overall soup since it contains meat and vegetables.
“The herbal eggs are easy to make. They’re a little more expensive but taste great. Everyone can eat eggs or have haggis soup for breakfast.
“The Chinese burgers are not too complicated. The key to making a nice burger bun is to knead the dough in grease. To assemble the burger, you only need to cut the bun in half and stuff it with minced meat.
“As for the tofu pudding, we can prepare it and put it into a big pot. Then we can scoop it into a bowl and pour some liquid sugar on it if anyone wants some. It’s effortless. The same goes for the haggis soup. Just scoop it into a bowl and serve.”
Su Wenzhe carefully listened to his sister and understood every word. He was amazed. “You always have incredible ideas, Little Sister. Then it won’t be a waste to have such a big shop since the customers can eat there in the afternoon and evening.”
Liu Yinyin said, “I’ll go to town and help you. I know how to knead the dough too.”
Shen Qiuhua echoed, “Then your father and I will grind the soybeans at home and prepare the ingredients needed for the haggis soup.”
Su Binglan noticed everyone’s excited expressions and said, “We’ll continue selling tofu for the next few days. I will make the tofu pudding later, so everyone can have a taste of how delicious it is. If you all like it, we will buy the ingredients we need.
“I’ll make the haggis soup too, so Big Brother and Sister-in-law can learn from me. The key is the seasoning, and we have chilies at home, which is fortunate. If these dishes become popular, they will become our specialty. When people from all over the world visit, they will come to our shop for these dishes.”
Shen Qiuhua said happily, “Okay, Binglan, you’re the boss.”
Luo Jin’an was his usual quiet self, but he also listened attentively. When he looked at his wife, he thought she looked confident and dazzling.
Su Binglan continued, “Besides, there’s plenty of space at our shop entrance, so we can build a shed and set up some tables and chairs. That way, the customers can sit down and eat.”
