I am a super cop

Chapter 1511 Craftsman 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

1:30 am.

Affordable breakfast shop kitchen.

Seeing the middle-aged woman's proficiency in making noodles, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sip her water, looked at the stainless steel basin on the other side, and asked her softly, "Is this the noodles for reconciliation?"

"That's right, this is fried dough stick noodles."

"So, fried dough sticks can only be made into fried dough sticks?" Lu Weiwei looked curious.

The middle-aged woman grinned: "Yes."

"Can I make buns?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I can't make buns."

"Okay." Feeling that the strange knowledge has increased a lot, Lu Weiwei nodded silently, still giving up her position, trying not to let herself interfere with the couple's work.

The two couples seem to have been in this business for many years, and almost every action is smooth and smooth.

It may seem complicated and tedious work, but the two cooperate quite tacitly.

And fried cakes, vegetables, fried noodles.

These tasks that can be prepared in advance, the couple will do it the afternoon before.

And when you come to the store in the early morning, you can also drive the ingredients directly to the store.

"Why do you still bring so much cash?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up as she watched the proprietress pour the cash from the plastic bag into the iron box.

You know, now is the era of no paper money, mobile payment is convenient and fast.

Lu Weiwei couldn't remember the last time she saw so much change.

The proprietress grinned: "We are in the breakfast business, so it's easy to change money with so much change."

"After all, those who are older, they must use cash, they will not use mobile phones to pay."

"Okay." Feeling that she hadn't paid attention to all aspects of the lives of the masses for too long, Lu Weiwei even felt that she was out of touch with the masses.

Glancing back at Gu Chen, Gu Chen is still sitting in the hall at this moment, staring outside, as if waiting for Hu Junjie's arrival.

But now it was nearly 2 o'clock in the morning, and few people passed by on the street.

Lu Weiwei originally ate a bunch of barbecue, but seeing the two husband and wife busy in the kitchen, she instantly felt a little disappointed in her stomach.

I just thought that the two couples would finish work early, so that I could have a good meal.

Rubbing her stomach, Lu Weiwei took a step back and gave the kitchen aisle to the boss, and asked curiously, "Do you prepare breakfast here?"

"Yeah, I'm going to make soy milk later."

"Then how long will the beans be soaked?" Lu Weiwei stuck out her head and glanced at the soybeans in the bucket.

The boss thought for a while, and said directly: "Summer, five or six hours."

"Then this should be regarded as freshly ground soy milk, right? Otherwise, there must be too little time." Lu Weiwei had already planned the scene of herself sitting in the shop drinking soy milk.

The boss has never seen such a greedy girl, so he can only nod in agreement: "Yes, usually before the sale, the time is very tight, and there are several large tanks of soy milk to be ground, and eight-treasure porridge, millet porridge, tofu brain, and chaos Materials and such."

"Let's go." Seeing that the boss and Lu Weiwei were chatting passionately, the proprietress walked between the two of them with a pot of tea eggs in her arms.

Smelling the fragrance, Lu Weiwei also looked curious: "So many tea eggs? Can they be sold out in one morning?"

"Of course." The proprietress was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Anyway, sell as much as you can, and I will cook some tea eggs later, and make three kinds of stuffing, more than 1000 small steamed buns."

Seeing that the proprietress had put the tea eggs away, the boss started rolling out the dough again, while Lu Weiwei leaned against the door and asked jokingly, "So boss, are you making dough?"

"This is applying alkali. If you don't apply alkali, the dough will be sour." The boss is so skillful that Lu Weiwei really wants to pick up her mobile phone and take a vlog.

"So it won't be sour after applying alkali?" Lu Weiwei echoed.

The boss nodded silently: "Yes, so you want to learn? I don't mind taking an apprentice, and she is such a beautiful policewoman apprentice."

"Haha." Lu Weiwei laughed lightly, feeling that the boss's words were quite funny.

I saw that after the boss kneaded the noodles, he put them on the platform and kneaded them repeatedly, feeling that he needed enough physical strength.

Compared with the boss, the lady boss doesn't talk much, she only knows how to work hard.

But the two husband and wife cooperate tacitly, and it seems that there is a clear division of labor.

Almost every minute has not stopped, and the operation is smooth and smooth.

At this moment, Gu Chen walked over from the hall, leaned against Lu Weiwei, and asked in an inquiring tone, "Are both elder brother and sister-in-law from the same place?"

"That's right." Seeing that it was Gu Chen who came, the boss became more serious and nodded silently in response.

"Then as soon as you and your sister-in-law met, did you start making breakfast together?" Gu Chen asked again.

The boss nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "Of course, when we were in school, there were many people making breakfast at our house."

"At that time, my family also made it. Anyway, we didn't have any other crafts, so we could only make breakfast."

"Then why did you think of coming to Jiangnan City for breakfast?" Gu Chen asked again.

The proprietress put the bucket aside and said with a smile, "Why is that? Because we have little land over there, why don't you do this?"

"There are few people farming now, and our craft is not bad. We can do something that we specialize in. It will take us more than 20 years to do this."

Clenching her fists and hammering her back, the proprietress also gave a wry smile and said, "It often makes people's backs sore."

"But if you feel unwell, you can't rest. In our business, you earn hard-earned money."

Looking at the white BMW off-road vehicle parked at the door, Lu Weiwei also knew that the hard-earned money was really accumulated early one by one.

So Lu Weiwei jokingly said: "Actually, you'll be fine if you rest for two days, so it's a big deal not to sell it."

"If you don't sell it, you can't do it. Isn't the business taken away by others?" Feeling that Lu Weiwei is still too young, the proprietress replied with a smile:

"If you don't sell it every day, where do people go to eat in the morning? They go to other people's houses for dinner."

"It's not like farming in our family. If you don't plant the land, you can rest for two days. The land is still yours."

After finishing the words, the proprietress took out a bag of medicine from the drawer after washing her hands by the sink.

Lu Weiwei was a little surprised and said, "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Hypertension." The proprietress glanced at Lu Weiwei behind her, seemed to realize something, and explained with a light smile: "Actually, in our line of work, I have a whole body of diseases. There is nothing I can do about it, and the disc in my waist is also protruding."

"Of course, it's not just us, everyone in the breakfast business will have some."

"Yeah." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, expressing her understanding, and said with some distress: "The main reason is that you can't even get a good night's sleep all year round, and you have to start working every morning."

"That's right." The boss walked past Lu Weiwei, pushed the lady boss aside, picked up a water glass, and took a sip of water.

Seeing that it is rare for someone to talk to him about work, the boss also smiled and said: "Just take me back last time, I had a back pain once, I moved something, maybe I accidentally sprained it, and then I went to the hospital to see a doctor. I'll be fine in a few days."

Sighing faintly, the boss said helplessly, "How can we have time to lie down in our business? I told the hospital that I don't have time to lie down."

"Not lying down?" Gu Chen said.

The boss shook his head: "How can I have time to lie down? The child can't do this now, he is still studying in his hometown. If he graduates and gets married, I won't do it."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, the lady boss took a towel and wiped the sweat off her husband's forehead.

The whole kitchen is now like a big steamer.

Lu Weiwei and Gu Chenguang were standing at the door, already feeling the sight of taking a sauna.

Lu Weiwei also jokingly said: "You guys stay in the kitchen every day, it's really like taking a sauna, so you can sweat a lot every day."

"Well, we like to sweat a lot, mainly because it's hot in the kitchen and we're constantly moving." The boss joked, looking at the clock on the wall from time to time.

Gu Chen glanced at the time, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.

But now, it seems that Hu Junjie that everyone is waiting for has not appeared yet.

But Gu Chen was not in a hurry, after all, the time the two couples told themselves was from the early morning to the early morning of the next day.

Gu Chen also admired himself, in order to find the whereabouts of his nephew Azhe for Zhao Feng, he and Lu Weiwei worked extra overtime.

Just waiting for someone will take an entire night.

Having nothing to do, Gu Chen noticed that Lu Weiwei had been staring at the steamer in the kitchen, so he curiously asked the husband and wife, "How many steamers do you want to make?"

"More than 100 drawers, and they have to be packed until after 5 o'clock."

"Like this fritters and pancakes, do you make them fresh?" Gu Chen asked again.

The proprietress nodded silently: "Yes, they are all freshly made, and they will start frying at 6 o'clock."

"Not bad." Gu Chen nodded slightly, feeling that he only now knew why this restaurant's breakfast business was the best in the old street in the Eastern District.

From the selection of ingredients here, Gu Chen can see many ways.

In particular, the working techniques of the two of them can be called a must.

If it wasn't for his fear of affecting the busy work of the couple, Gu Chen really wanted to film all this and send it to his old mother as a Jiangnan on the tip of his tongue, so that Comrade Xiao Xiaofang could study hard.

Time passed by, and Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were still waiting quietly at the kitchen door.

The two couples, who had no topic to talk about, also looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.

The two leaned together and discussed in a low voice. It seemed that if Hu Junjie didn't show up, the two of them seemed to be under the constant surveillance of these two policemen.

Seeing Lu Weiwei sipping her saliva all the time, the proprietress also took the initiative to find a topic and said:
"We have been in this business for a long time, so we have more experience than other stores, such as oil temperature and dough hardness, which are quite experienced."

"As for those who are inexperienced, you can't tell it. You just need to see it with your eyes. How much dough and how much alkali to put in are quite particular."

"Then didn't you guys do this very early?" Lu Weiwei also looked curious.

The boss took the topic and said proudly: "Of course, I started doing this when I was 18, and now I am almost 50 years old, nearly 30 years."

"Excellent." Lu Weiwei couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and also praised: "It's really rare that you have worked for so long."

"It feels like your family is all about doing business. Like your nephew Hu Junjie, I heard that he is also good at doing business. Using the one-dollar sales method, he can sell more than 500 pieces of clothes a day in the university town."

"Haha." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the boss also grinned, and said, "This is the same reason as we do breakfast. The one-dollar sales method is what I gave him attention."

"We earn hard-earned money. Although my nephew, Hu Junjie, also worked as a waiter in a high-end restaurant during the previous summer vacation, he feels that the grade is different."

"Those jobs must be much easier than ours, but they can't. Although they look decent, they don't make money."

"This month's salary is not enough for him to spend, what's the use?"

"Later my nephew Hu Junjie also said, he said uncle, or I'll do it with you sooner."

"Okay, isn't this great? It's a family." Lu Weiwei said.

The boss waved his hand: "No, he is a college student, he has studied for so many years, and finally he has breakfast with me. Isn't this a waste of his youth?"

"I said you should find another job. He majored in chemistry and felt that he should be able to find a decent job, but this kid, who doesn't know what is going on in his head every day, is particularly interested in doing business."

"I thought to myself, if you are particularly interested in doing business, then you might as well study finance and trade at the beginning, so that you can be a professional counterpart."

"Now that I have studied chemistry for so many years, I came here to make breakfast. Isn't this ashamed of my parents' cultivation? So I refused decisively."

Youyou sighed heavily, and the boss said helplessly, "Now this kid has graduated from college for more than a year, but he's just messing about all day long."

"Sell this today, and sell that tomorrow. I said, can't you sell something specifically? He said no, you have to pay attention to efficiency, and you have to sell something when you need to sell it. You are busy all day long, from morning to night, with us. Also, I can’t sleep for a few hours a day.”

"Junjie, isn't he still doing something else?" The proprietress took the wrapped steamed buns and handed them to the boss beside her, and said involuntarily:

"I see Junjie's complexion has been bad recently. I feel that even if he sells 500 pieces of clothes a day, he won't be so tired, right?"

"I always feel that this child is weird. He comes here to eat something every day and then leaves. He doesn't even want to talk."

After a pause, the proprietress said again: "At first, this kid wanted to come and cook breakfast with us, and I thought about it too."

"But my uncle and I opened a shop here, and the income is limited, and the cost of hiring employees is too high, so he can only do it by himself."

"Stop talking." Glancing at his wife, the store owner's face suddenly changed, as if to remind him intentionally.

The proprietress sighed, turned her head and walked towards the workbench.

At this time, the owner of the barbecue shop who was hanging out in the lobby came over to greet everyone: "Old Zhang, we are done and ready to go back."

"Don't go yet, eat a few trays of steamed stuffed buns before leaving, it's late at night."

After finishing the words, the boss directly pulled out a few drawers of steamed buns, and brought them to the living room skillfully.

The owner of the barbecue shop was also polite, and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Lao Zhang."

"Hurry up and eat, the freshly baked steamed buns are hot."

"Yeah." The owner of the barbecue shop nodded silently, and then called his wife and the shop assistant to come over together. The three gathered together and ate the steamed buns leisurely.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei said curiously, "You tenants really live in harmony."

"Isn't that right? We rented a store and we've known each other for a long time. Sometimes they would invite us to barbecue."

"They work at night, maybe until one or two in the morning, sometimes three in the morning, but we work in the morning."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "We chatted with them just now, only to find out that this place has been rented out to three groups of people."

"That's right, anyway, the shop is full of people. This shop is open 24 hours a day." The boss sighed and said with a wry smile, "I can only say that this landlord is very good at business."

"Like the current bustling commercial district in Jiangnan City, the rent is so high, you can only say that if you cooperate outside, the pressure on each other will be less."

"If I have a storefront in the Jiangnan business district, I will let it out if I can rent it out."

"Everyone thinks so. In fact, we also have a chance to settle in Jiangnan City." The proprietress put a few plates of vinegar directly on the dining table in the living room.

Lu Weiwei looked curious, and quickly asked, "When was that? Was it when housing prices were cheap back then?"

"That's right, even if I didn't buy it at the time, I didn't expect to stay in Jiangnan City for such a long time." The proprietress also looked annoyed when she mentioned this matter:
"At that time, the layout was not big, so I thought to myself, anyway, there is a house at home, so what are you doing buying a house outside? Anyway, I have to go back to my hometown when the time comes."

"But who would have thought that in those few years, the housing prices in Jiangnan City were going up like a rocket."

"But by the time we realized it, we had already missed the best time to buy a house. If we could have bought a suite earlier in Jiangnan City, it would have made more money than we have been working on breakfast for many years."

With a heavy sigh, the proprietress also said helplessly: "The ones who do real business are really not as good as those real estate speculators."

"Haha, don't complain." The boss passed by.

Only then did Lu Weiwei realize that the boss seemed to have wrapped a lot of steamed buns.

Smelling the fragrance, Lu Weiwei also looked curious: "You're pretty fast, how many drawers have you packed?"

"Well, there are more than 60 drawers, and there will be about 40 drawers."

Seeing Lu Weiwei covering her stomach, the boss also grinned: "Well, if you're hungry, I'll treat you to a steamed bun after the steaming here is done."

"Haha, then thank you, don't invite me, and delay your business, I'm sorry, we will buy it."

"It's okay." The proprietress felt that Lu Weiwei was a little strange, and asked curiously: "By the way, is the missing young man you mentioned really with my nephew Hu Junjie?"

"Well, they met on skateboards, and the other party was determined to do business with Hu Junjie. Last night, he had a big fight with the uncle I had raised for many years, so he ran away from home. We suspect that he is staying with your nephew Hu Junjie. Together……"

Gu Chen also took advantage of the gap between the two of them working to tell the specific situation.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, the proprietress hesitated and said, "You said my nephew wants to partner with someone? Do you want that young man to be a shareholder?"

"That's right, that's what the missing boy told us." Lu Weiwei said.

But the proprietress thought for a few seconds, seemingly unbelievable.
