  Chapter 71

  On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the boutique opened its doors again.

  Ma Lan cleaned the shop spotlessly early in the morning and put the goods that had been put away before the New Year in order. A small stove was set up at the door, and inside it were tea eggs and glutinous rice that had not been sold out.

  Ma Lan was breathing heavily, and her fingers were red from the cold.

  Yuan Tang frowned: "Setting up a stall again?"

  Ma Lan hummed, her eyes full of gentleness: "I only set it up for a short while this morning. It's New Year's Day, so I don't have to prepare much."

  Ever since Yuan Tang agreed to let her set up a stall at the door, she initially just wanted to make more money, but later she found that the profit from setting up a stall was really considerable.

  I can sell tea eggs alone for more than ten yuan a month.

  She couldn't suppress the passion in her heart and wanted to do something else.

  After much thought, she was only good at the cooking methods from her hometown, and she wondered if people here could get used to them.

  At the critical moment, it was her daughter's words that pointed her in the right direction.

  "Mom, I think the glutinous rice you make is the best."

  There were a few times when she got up late, so her mother made glutinous rice balls for her to eat at school. Several classmates were so greedy that Wang Wei could only break them off and give each of them a bite.

  Ma Lan's eyes lit up. She was working during the day now, and it was not safe at night, so she did not dare to go out to the stall. She had the most time in the morning.

  She felt that she could easily handle opening a breakfast stall.

  Soon, Ma Lan tried it for the first time.

  Add some diced meat and shredded potatoes in the middle of the steamed glutinous rice, but don't use the watercress as the locals would not be used to it, so she replaced it with pickles and added some sour radish. If you like spicy food, add a little chili oil.

  After the glutinous rice is ready, Ma Lan adds a layer of vegetable leaves on the outside to prevent the customers from getting their hands dirty.

  On the first day of setting up the stall, Ma Lan thought her business would not be very good, so she only prepared a dozen or so servings, but they were sold out in an instant.

  Locals have never seen this kind of breakfast. It doesn't matter what you eat. It's not expensive anyway, so why not give it a try?

  It tastes good after one try. Except for some people who are not used to eating glutinous rice, most people accept it well.

  Ma Lan's small business continued without any problems.

  She now goes to the stall in the morning and then comes to work in the store. Yuan Tang knew about this but didn't say anything against it. In fact, most of the stores on this street open at around 9 am. Some of the lazier ones open at around 10 am.

  Ma Lan has always been dedicated, and Yuan Tang also understands her anxiety.

  Just like when I first left home, I have a deep and anxious desire for money.

  Although Ma Lan is busier than before, Wang Wei is becoming more cheerful.

  When Ma Lan was busy, Wang Wei would follow to help. This little person was very clear in finding change and doing the accounts. When many people mentioned the stall selling glutinous rice, the first person they thought of was Wang Wei, the little follower who did the accounting, not Ma Lan.
