Chapter 48: Her Family’s Secret Recipe Is Not for Sale

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Her Family’s Secret Recipe Is Not for SaleThere are new varieties today, and it’s that auntie who came over early in the morning. Qin Xiangnuan has also learned the name of this auntie; she calls her Aunt Ming. Aunt Ming’s family has many members, but their financial condition is quite good. All of her sons have government jobs, and their monthly salaries are not small. Her family is not picky about food, yet ever since they tasted the pancakes made by Qin Xiangnuan, they have taken a liking to them. They want to eat them every day, never getting tired of them, and despite trying to make them on their own, they couldn’t replicate Qin Xiangnuan’s unique flavor. Therefore, Aunt Ming had no choice but to come to buy them. The adults could go without eating them for a few days, at most just long for them, but if the children don’t eat them, they would constantly fuss and whine. "Auntie, these are vegetables, I’ll pick some out for you," Qin Xiangnuan took out a pancake, spread some meat sauce over it, then added a bit of every vegetable, wrapped it in a paper bag, and handed it to Aunt Ming. "Auntie, please have this on me, try it and see how it tastes," she offered. "How could I accept this?" Aunt Ming insisted that she couldn’t take something for free, knowing that business is not easy for anyone. She would not eat for free without paying. "Just have a taste, Auntie," Qin Xiangnuan picked up the chopsticks and arranged the vegetables in the basin, "It’s the first day of selling this, so it’s for you to try, Auntie. Have a taste and share your thoughts for good luck. If you don’t eat it, the business might not do well today," she said, frowning in such a way that it seemed like a real concern. Aunt Ming couldn’t help but laugh out loud and involuntarily patted Qin Xiangnuan’s head, saying, "You clever child, my little granddaughter is about your age, but all she knows is to ask for food and drink." "That’s just Auntie loving her grandchild," Qin Xiangnuan continued selling pancakes with her brother while making change for others. "If I had a grandma like Auntie, naturally she would hate to see me out doing business as well. Nobody wants to get up this early, to endure the cold, to suffer, but we have to because we don’t have any other choice and we need to make a living."

Sigh, every family really does have its own hardships to bear. Aunt Ming took a bite of the vegetable-stuffed pancake and found the taste to be exceptionally delicious. "So tasty, really delicious," she said, devouring more than half of it in one go. With her mouth full, she mumbled unclearly, "Come on, Xiang Nuan, stuff some vegetables in each one for me. How can it taste so good," she quickly finished the rest of the pancake. Her reaction wasn’t faked. Originally, people who had bought pancakes were coming back to get theirs stuffed with vegetables. After adding the vegetables, the pancakes tasted even better and had a meaty aroma to them; they were truly delicious. No longer just plain pancakes without vegetables, and now with vegetables stuffed generously inside, it was only an extra five cents. And because the vegetables were tasty, the most delicious part was actually a certain meat sauce spread inside that made the pancakes especially delectable. After eating one, it felt like not enough, so there were those who came back to buy another one. The business that day was surprisingly good, with both pancakes and vegetables selling out. Some even wanted to buy the meat sauce Qin Xiangnuan made, but no matter what, she refused to sell it. This was her secret recipe and everyone knew that a secret recipe would never be sold. Today, they added an OPTION for extra vegetables, so they made nearly sixty yuan for the day.
