I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 45 Earning the First Pot of Gold
This time when they went out, Xu Congyi also wanted to look for foreigners. They walked through the streets and alleys until their legs were weak. It was almost time for lunch, so they found a steamed bun stand and ate a few steaming buns with egg drop soup. Because they did not rent a bullock cart this time, but took a car together, they had to go back to take the car at a fixed time, and could not rely on the bullock cart. They searched for a long time but could not find it. Xu Congyi thought, forget it, it happened to be not far from Grandpa Shen's noodle stand, and he could go to see Grandpa Shen after dinner.
When he arrived at Grandpa Shen's noodle stall, Xu Congyi realized that he had thought too simply. There were so many people eating noodles at the noodle stall that there was no place to stand, let alone sit and rest. Grandpa Shen lowered his head and kept making noodles. Shen Xiao was also wiping the table. Seeing this, Xu the Hunter rolled up his sleeves to help. The rag in Shen Xiao's hand was suddenly snatched away. When he reacted, he realized that it was Xu the Hunter, and shouted in surprise.
"Uncle Xu, let me pour you some tea!"
Hearing his grandson calling, Old Man Shen looked up and was very happy to see Hunter Xu, but he had too much work to do and could not go over to entertain them. Hunter Xu simply told the two of them not to be polite and turned around to help wipe the table. Seeing this, the three siblings also joined in. The two brothers Xu Congwen and Xu Congan took over from Old Man Shen to cook and serve noodles, and Xu Congyi helped to clean up and serve the noodles. Several people worked in an orderly manner.
When the guests had finished eating, they left and the few of them were able to sit on the chairs to rest. They had originally come to rest, but unexpectedly they had done so much work. The Shen family's grandparents and grandchildren felt very embarrassed, as they had come to visit them but had asked them to help with so much work.
However, the Xu family members did not care. They thought it was normal to lend a hand. But Xu Congyi did not expect the business to be so good, so he asked Old Man Shen why there were so many people.
"They all come here to eat the eggplant and meat stewed noodles. The one you taught us to make is so delicious that everyone comes here because of its reputation. Since we started selling this noodle, word has spread and there are so many people every day. Our income has increased several times in the past few days. Before, it was just enough to make a living."
Old man Shen expressed his gratitude to Xu Congyi in his words, "On the first day, only a few customers would occasionally order the eggplant and meat stewed noodles. On the second and third days, more and more people started to come to eat noodles, and they would recommend this noodles to their friends. Now my noodle stall has become lively, and many people come to eat noodles every day."
At this time, Shen Xiao took over the conversation, "Uncle Xu, Sister Xu, I have an idea. Should we control the supply? I mentioned it to Grandpa before, but Grandpa said that I should discuss it with you. I was thinking of going to Liushuzhuang Village to talk to you about this when I have time these days, but I didn't expect you to come first."
"You guys are the ones who decide on this matter. Don't ask us in the future. This is your family's business. You guys decide how to do it." Hunter Xu and his daughter understood each other and spoke directly.
"That's right," Xu Cong nodded in agreement, "It's also good to control the supply. We can just make breakfast or lunch. Otherwise, at this intensity, we will definitely get sick from exhaustion."
Old man Shen had no objection. He took out his purse, found a tael of silver and handed it to Xu Congyi, "Girl, this is the share for the past ten days. I'll give it to you just because you're here."
"In just ten short days, you've earned ten taels of silver?" Hunter Xu could feel that business was good, but he didn't expect so much money.
"Yes, there are a lot of people eating noodles. I sell this eggplant and meat noodles at 13 cents a bowl. Now I sell about 200 bowls of noodles every day. The cost price is 7 cents per bowl, so I can make a net profit of one or two taels of silver every day." Speaking of this, Old Man Shen couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy in his heart.
Xu Congyi was also very happy. On the one hand, this was her first pot of gold in this era. On the other hand, seeing that the noodle stall business was so good and being able to help Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiao, she was also sincerely happy.
After talking for a while, Old Man Shen stood up and wanted to invite a few people to his house to cook for them. The few people quickly refused, saying that they came here just because they had eaten a full meal. They originally wanted to find a foreigner doing business but didn't find any, so they just happened to come here to take a look.
Shen Xiao, who was standing by, heard that Xu Congyi was looking for a foreigner. It was such a coincidence that a foreigner came to the noodle stall to eat in the morning. He said he was a businessman and passed by Qicheng and found an inn to rest. From the window on the second floor of the inn, he saw that there were a lot of people here, so he came here specially to try what was delicious. After eating, he praised it highly.
"Inn? Which inn?" Xu Congyi was very excited.
"It's the Huilai Inn across the road," Shen Xiao pointed to Xu Congyi.
"Then I'll go now!" Xu Congyi was about to walk over there.
It just so happened that the Xu family was also planning to leave. They had eaten but the grandparents and grandchildren had not yet eaten. A few people said a few words to the Shen family's grandparents and grandchildren and asked them to go home for dinner.
