How does success taste? The answer of 17-year-old Sunny Beatson can be: it tastes sweet.
Sunny Beatson lives in Australia. Although Sunny had little interest in cooking, he started making doughnuts (甜甜圈) just to make the time pass more quickly during the COVID-19 lockdown (封锁). He found the recipes online and his doughnuts tasted great. Everyone in the family liked them, so he thought he would try selling some.
“At first, I just put a message online,” said Sunny, “I didn’t think much of it. I thought I might only get one or two orders. But I didn’t think I would make any money by selling them.”
To Sunny’s surprise, he got lots of replies. Soon his doughnuts were sold in local supermarkets and his family members helped sell his doughnuts across the city.
Sunny remembered being excited when he sold 30 doughnuts in one day. Now he is selling up to 700 doughnuts in one day from his shop, Beadoughts Donuts, which he opened in January this year. The shop opens six days a week. Sunny wakes up at 3:30 a. m. and reaches the shop by 4:00 a. m. to start making doughnuts and get ready for the 9:00 a. m. opening time.
