28 New business plan

Seeing we already come with the breakfast bowls in a tray on our hands, make my father in law a bit surprised.

"Son, that's really fast. I thought you'll be done making breakfast in the next fifteen minutes but you already finish now"

"There's still some leftover from last night feast, father, so I can make the breakfast faster"

"Hohoho…let me see what you make this time son"

I bring the bowl in my hand and serve that for my father and brother in law after that me and Ming Er sit on our own seats. When they open the lid that covers the bowl, fragrant aroma from fried meat and eggs released from the bowl and fills the dining room.

"Ooohh…what an aroma! What is this dish name, son?"

"It's duck meat rice with egg, father. There's a meaning behind this dish too"

"What is that?"

"The meat symbolizes the mother and egg symbolizes the children. As is says, when a duck mother takes her ducklings out and meet the enemy, the duck mother will pretend to be hurt and distracted the enemy sight to her to make her ducklings have a chance to escape. This dish symbolizes the unity of a family, in this case, Ming Er re-unite with her family"

After explaining the meaning of this dish, I hold Ming Er hand, she smiles happily hearing my explanation.

"Well said! Son, I never thought you can make a dish that has deep meaning like this. Very good! Now let's eat, don't let this dish get cold"

We start to eat quietly after that. No one is making a sound, everyone chew and digests the food in their own hand. When the breakfast finish, I can see a satisfied expression on their faces. My father in law starts to open the conversation after put his bowl down.

"Son, you should re-open your restaurant. It's too pity if your cooking skill keep buried like this"

"That's my plan father, but the customer thing still my main concern"

"You can change the restaurant's name and the outlook of the restaurant. That will attract the customer to come right?"

"I still worried if those lowly people from the chain restaurant come and make trouble, father. They like to use dirty trick to make a ruckus in the restaurant like pretending there's a bug in the food, intentionally dirtying the restaurant and even causing trouble with other customers. I'm worried about customer safety father, I can't put security guards in the front door. First, it's uncommon, second, that will scaring people to enter"

"I see. How about moving to another town?"

"The chain restaurant has many branches in many cities. That won't work father"

Ming Er that following my conversation with her father suddenly sounding her opinion

"If the customer not coming, why don't we become the one who comes to them hubby?"

"Hahaha, Ming Er, you told your husband to become a food peddler? Pulling cart and sell food on the street?"

"Dad, that's an ancient way to sell food. Now it's modern era, besides food stall only can sell one or two dishes, that's not profitable"

"Oh, so what's in your mind wifey?"

It seems Ming Er have an idea on how to make a new business. It's surprising that my wife is also a smart woman. I feel lucky to have her as my wife.

"We can sell food on the truck. We make a food truck, we come to the crowded place like park or school or construction site, places which have many people and people that need to eat, with the truck and sell the food to them. With the truck, we can move easily and cover large areas. I'm also will create an account on Instagram, YouTube, and other social media to promote our food truck"

Food Truck!

What a brilliant idea! That's simply a portable kitchen. I can cook inside the truck and can sell it wherever the truck stops. I can't hold my urge to hug and kiss her. My father and brother in law only laughing at that. Ming Er blushing with that sudden kiss from me in front of her father and brother. But after that, I remember something.

"Wifey, that's brilliant. But your husband can't drive a truck"

"Hubby, you forget my brother here is a truck driver? He can teach you how to drive a truck"

"Yes. I can teach you driving a truck and help you get the driving license, brother. If necessary I can be the temporary driver for the food truck"

My brother in law speaks his agreement on Ming Er proposal.

Ah, that's right, I almost forget my brother in law is a truck driver. But how to make a food truck?

"Thank you brother, but how to make this food truck? I don't have any knowledge of how to make this"

"Leave that to Shao He, son. Consider this is our investment in you. We provide you the food truck, you just say what you want to install inside the truck, what kind of stove or what kind of refrigerator, just say it and you will have that installed when the food truck is ready"

"Yes, I know a place to modify truck since I have many connections in the truck business, brother. You just have to learn how to drive it later"

"Thank you, brother, father"

"You welcome son. Now you should speak with Ming Er on how you two will run this business later. I will go to the field and Shao He will go to his workplace. If you want to discuss this again, we can talk later in lunch"

"Okay father"

After saying that my father and brother in law leave the dining room to go to their workplace, leaving me and Ming Er in there.
