Chapter 65 -65 Officially Opens for Business

The grand opening just happened to be on a Sunday, and Father Lu, Mrs. Lu, along with gifts from Uncle Su and Aunt, took the earliest bus to the Provincial City.

Susu took Xiao Yu to the store first, while Lu Xiaoting ran to the train station to pick up the elderly couple.

Mrs. Lu was beaming with joy, having dressed early in the clothes Susu bought for her in the Provincial City’s Department Store, her hair combed meticulously.

Even Father Lu, who usually didn’t care much for dressing up, had put extra effort into looking sharp.

“Did Susu and Xiao Yu head to the store?”

“Yes, there are pastries at the shop, so it opens early. She went ahead to keep an eye on things.”

At this moment, Mrs. Lu was like a victorious rooster, head held high and chest puffed out with pride, she lifted her chin a notch.

“My Susu is truly formidable, this is already our second store.”

Hearing his mother sing praises of his wife, Lu Xiaoting’s dark eyes filled with mirth, his lips curling into a wide smile.

Yeah, my wife is that incredible.

…

Jiang Nan had a sullen face, reluctantly pursed her lips as Brother Lu pulled her onto the bus.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue, the sisters, were chattering away happily like two cheerful little birds.

Brother Lu sighed, “Cheer up, today is my brother and sister-in-law’s big day for their store opening. We can’t be the butt of the joke.”

Jiang Nan curled her lips; how could she be happy when her Chongxi sister-in-law was opening a business, and here she was, unable to share in the excitement.

However, in front of her husband, Jiang Nan still managed to muster a smile that was appropriately pleasant.

Only, inside, she was dying of discomfort, and the children’s chirpy banter was giving her a headache.

“Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue, be good, don’t disturb others.”

“Okay, we know, Mommy.”

Upon hearing their mother’s words, the sisters instantly quieted down, communicating with eyes and gestures instead.

Jiang Nan: “…”

What to do?

She felt even more dejected.

The noodle and spicy hot pot shop was located near the college and factory living area.

Many college students and workers had heard the news that a noodle and spicy hot pot shop was opening and came early to check it out.

Most were curious about what this spicy hot pot actually was.

Susu explained with a smile to those curious, “Spicy hot pot is where you pick whatever you want to eat and put it into this bowl, and we’ll cook it for you with light spicy, medium spicy, or clear soup flavors.

Moreover, you can also pair it with buns and pastries…”

Someone pointed to the red banner with black characters hanging above the shop and asked.

“I see it says that for the first three days of opening, anyone who comes into the store can enjoy a 20% discount; does that mean it’s cheaper?”

“Yes, you get a 20% discount on your total bill, which means if you spend one yuan, after the discount, it’s only eighty cents.”

“Wow, that’s good; you’ve straight up saved two dimes.”

“Let’s go, shouldn’t we go in and try it?”

“Let’s do it, we’ve come all this way.”

…

Many people, with the mentality of ‘since we’re here,’ had ordered some spicy hot pot and buns to try.

Susu, worried that Xiao Long and Da Niu would be nervous, went into the kitchen to give directions.

Several large pots were bubbling away with ingredients; despite being December and cold winter, the kitchen was sweltering.

The four workers in the kitchen were so busy they were sweating buckets.

Su Xiaomei and Xiao Yu were hosting the customers outside.

The auntie clearing dishes was so busy she was tripping over herself; whenever a spot cleared, she’d quickly clean up and make room for the next wave of guests.

Just then, the Lu family arrived one after another at the store.

Seeing the endless stream of people in the store, Mrs. Lu was delighted from the bottom of her heart, and she rolled up her sleeves to help collect dishes and wipe tables.

The cleaning auntie looked stunned, as her work was taken over, and froze for a moment.

“Please take a seat, how can we have guests helping out? I’ll be done in a moment, just wait a bit.”

“Hahaha.”

Mrs. Lu was amused by the elder sister-in-law’s actions and hurriedly explained that she was Susu’s mother-in-law and it was only natural for the family to lend a hand.

“Mom? When did you get here?”

Lu Xiaomei, who was helping prepare the malatang ingredients, just came out and was surprised and delighted.

Mrs. Lu playfully rolled her eyes at her daughter, “Hurry and take this over, the customers are waiting. Your dad and I just got here.”

“Alright, you and Dad take a seat and wait for a bit.”

Seeing the situation, Father Lu did not idle either, helping with collecting money and doing the accounts.

By the time Brother Lu and his brothers arrived, Father Lu and Mrs. Lu had already been busily working for a while.

Mrs. Lu caught sight of her two sons and daughters-in-law and waved her hand.

“Why don’t you go sit in the back?”

“Shall I and the third one help out?”

“No need, no need, there’s not enough space in the shop for two more people to stand.”

Mrs. Lu hastily ushered her sons and daughters-in-law to wait in the back room, really finding them a bit in the way.

Bai Xiao looked at the steady stream of people coming in and out of the shop and couldn’t help but think the business was booming.

Lu Huaisen smacked his lips, “How come the second elder sister-in-law is so impressive?! Look at all these people, she must be making a fortune every day.”

The corners of Jiang Nan’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Her brow furrowed. How could this Chongxi sister-in-law seem like a completely different person?

Not only selling stewed goods all the way to the Provincial City, but also opened up a little restaurant???

Bai Xiao quietly stretched out her hand and tugged at her man’s sleeve.

Lu Huaisen poked his head out, “What’s up, Xiaoxiao?”

Seeing the three of them look over, Bai Xiao smiled and shook her head.

Really now, hasn’t she noticed the elder sister-in-law’s face has changed, and yet here he is, praising the second elder sister-in-law again and again.

Susu had been watching the three of them cooking in the kitchen. Although she didn’t get her hands dirty, she too was sweating from the heat.

The trio, initially flustered, gradually regained their confidence, losing the initial panic and trembling hands.

“Right, just follow the usual steps.”

Susu found a stool to sit on, her pregnant belly making it hard for her to stand too long.

Lu Xiaoting wanted to let his wife rest in the back for a while.

Susu shook her head declining, knowing that without her presence, the three might start to panic again.

“Wow, why are there so many people?”

“Susu’s noodles and malatang? When did they open a little restaurant?”

“Let’s go, let’s go. We have to check it out, there are quite a few people, must mean it tastes good.”

…

“Boss, I’ll have a mildly spicy malatang and also two steamed buns.”

“Alright, here’s your meal ticket number, we’ll call the number when it’s ready.”

…

After the lunch rush hour, having served an endless stream of customers, everyone finally got a break from the morning’s bustle.

Seeing that many of the malatang ingredients were running low, Susu cooked up a pot with what was left.

“Dad, Mom, elder brother and sister-in-law, third brother, Xiaoxiao, come try our shop’s malatang, we’ve also got cold dishes, buns, and sweet triangles.”

After tasting, everyone nodded approvingly, exclaiming how delicious it was.

Enjoying food that could rival state-owned restaurants, Jiang Nan for a moment lost all taste for the malatang in her mouth.

It struck her as odd!

How did this Chongxi sister-in-law suddenly become so capable of everything?

As someone who’s lived life once over already, she wondered, could she not even match up to Su Erya, who barely knew a few characters?

No way… absolutely impossible!
