Both only 1.1 meters tall and weighing 24 kilograms, the pancake shop located on Shangxin Street just opened on New Year's Day and can make about 300 yuan a day. "We also like to go shopping and have fun, just like other young guys. In the future, we will fall in love and get married too. Our biggest hope for the new year is to run our little shop well. We are full of confidence about all this," said Guan Xiangdong and Wu Qi's New Year's wish.
Wearing size 20 children's shoes and standing at only 1.1 meters tall, they need to stand on a stool to reach the counter - two "little dwarfs" who look very similar have opened a pancake business on Shangxin Street in Nan'an. Because they compare themselves to Wu Dalang selling pancakes, the two "little" bosses named their pancake shop "Erlang X Bing".
They need to stand on a stool to sell pancakes.
Yesterday, Entrepreneurship China came to this pancake shop located near the intersection of Shangxin Street. From afar, we saw two small dwarfs standing side by side in front of the shop, both wearing Wusong hats, work uniforms, and white aprons around their waists, busily working. As soon as they saw customers asking questions, the two quickly climbed onto the long stools placed in front of the counter to start selling pancakes.
These two dwarfs are the owners of the pancake shop - Wu Qi and Guan Xiangdong. They both have baby faces but are already 23 and 18 years old respectively. The smart and outgoing Guan Xiangdong told Entrepreneurship China that the small shop just opened on New Year's Day and specializes in selling pancakes. As the owners of the shop, he and Wu Qi mainly take charge of the operation.
The two bravely face life
"We are the same height, the same weight, many people say we are twins." Once this topic was brought up, the shy Wu Qi showed excitement on his face: "Many customers who come to buy pancakes at the shop think we are twins."
Although they are not real brothers, they share many similarities: both are 1.1 meters tall, weigh around 24 kilograms, wear size 20 shoes, and dress alike like twins.
According to reports, Guan Xiangdong is from Dazhou, and Wu Qi is from Rongchang. Half a year ago, when a pancake shop in Wanzhou was recruiting waiters under 1.4 meters tall, the two met each other. Due to their similar experiences, they hit it off immediately and became good brothers.
According to Guan Xiangdong's introduction, due to a serious illness in childhood, his pituitary gland was damaged, causing him to stop growing in height and weight since elementary school, and his appearance has remained childlike. After graduating from junior high school, despite excellent grades, Guan Xiangdong no longer wanted to study or go out, so he stayed idle at home. Until half a year ago, when both worked as waiters in a pancake shop in Wanzhou, they began planning for the future and decided to rely on their own strength to bravely face life.
Comparing themselves to Wu Dalang selling pancakes
"We saved for six months, finally gathering over ten thousand yuan in capital." The two brothers told Grassroots Entrepreneurship Network that after making up their minds, they started preparing. They took out 50 yuan each month from their nearly 400-yuan salary as pocket money, saving the rest. Considering their experience working in a pancake shop, the two decided to start with making pancakes. Currently, they have hired two experienced pancake masters, and they can make about 300 yuan a day.
"The previous boss gave us a lot of inspiration. Sometimes being short can also be an advantage. Didn't she specifically hire us as waiters for promotion?" Guan Xiangdong said, like Wu Dalang's pancakes, that's also a brand.
