Otherworldly Days

At noon, the men who rushed over early to work were also hungry, and the little things they ate in the morning were long gone.I heard that there is a newly opened stall that has fresh food, and the price is not expensive. Today, I went to give away a delicious radish. After hearing this, they wanted to try whether it tastes good.

For people like them, it is not easy to earn a little money by doing coolies every day, and they are willing to spend a few copper coins for a meal.But one copper coin is also one coin, if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can save two coins, you will pay for a meal.

The men who finished the work went to the newly opened stall in groups of three or five, and they found it without asking for it from afar.

"What does this guest officer want to eat?"

"In our place, a big bowl of Zhai Hor Fun costs three Wen, a small bowl costs two Wen, a bowl of pig offal rice noodles costs five Wen, and extra pig offal costs two Wen, and clean carrots cost a penny. The small stall is newly opened, and those who come in the first three days will get a set of clean radishes, while stocks last." At the beginning, Cao Xiangnan had to quickly introduce the products they sold to the new customers, and more customers came later He also didn't have time to introduce each guest one by one.

When the people who came later heard the boss's introduction to the people in front, they understood it, and the people who came later learned it by themselves when they heard the people in front called.

"Boss, a big bowl of soup hor fun."

“A big bowl of Lao Pho.”

"Boss, add another serving of clean radish."

"Have a bowl of pig offal rice noodles."

"Hole, please sit over there, and I'll be here in a while." He was the only cook in front of the stall, but when there were more customers, Cao Xiangnan never stopped his hands, cooking more rice noodles while cooking. Remember what the guest ordered.

Thanks to the experience of working in food stalls in the previous life, when there are many customers, there are no fewer customers than their stalls. He has to remember the dishes ordered by the customers at which table and what they want. Here, and then send the things the guests need.So no matter how many people there are now, Cao Xiangnan can keep in mind what each customer ordered and the money that needs to be charged , the whole person is as busy as a spinning top.But the business is so good, no matter how busy he is, he is willing. What he is afraid of is not being busy.

"Table No. [-], a large portion of vegetarian rice noodles."

"Table number two, two rice noodles with pork offal, and one large rice noodles."

The three of them divided labor and cooperated in an orderly manner, each responsible for their own affairs, and they worked in perfect harmony.

On the first day of opening, they did not expect so many customers to come, and the four tables set up were full of people. Fortunately, the dishes and chopsticks can be used while washing them.The customers who came from behind had no tables and chairs to sit on. These guys found a place to squat and ate. Fortunately, the taste of the food was really good. After drinking a big bowl of thick soup, they were full and satisfied. .

Seeing the good business of that stall, the neighbors who were also selling things were naturally jealous. After smelling the fragrance for a long time, they also wondered what kind of food the newly opened stall sold. inquire about.

Cao Xiangnan didn't have the time to think about other people's thoughts, he was too busy making money now.Fortunately, although there were a lot of customers today, there was no trouble, so no matter how many people there were, he could quickly deal with any customer's order and money.

At noon, there will be a lot of guests, and everyone will be given a piece of clean radish, so the clean radish in the pot will be delivered soon.

"I'm sorry, we have run out of radishes, please come early tomorrow." Because the radishes seemed to be delivered on the spur of the moment, they didn't prepare too many, and there were more customers, so everyone gave a copy, and went to the back No more.

When Cao Xiangnan explained to the customers, there were naturally some customers who came here specifically to give away a radish, so there were also those who had unwillingness written on their faces.But he patiently explained to the unhappy customers, "On the first day we opened, we didn't prepare enough radishes. In the next two days, we will prepare more radishes for everyone. I hope everyone will be satisfied with our food and patronize our restaurant more. Business" he explained, and the unhappy customer reluctantly agreed, and ordered a portion of rice noodles to eat.Fortunately, the taste of the food is really good, and the customers who come here are also satisfied, and they leave after they are full.

Their hor fun is already cooked, and it is served in a bowl as soon as the water is boiled, and it is cooked quickly. It is almost as if the customer over there ordered it, and he can cook it here.

At first, Cao Xiangnan also thought about making noodles, but when he thought that the noodles had to be cooked, if they set up a stall outside, cooking noodles would be far less convenient than selling rice noodles. Facts have proved that his original idea was correct.

"Boss, how do you sell this pho?" Some people wanted to take it away after eating it.

Pho noodles are fresh and made of rice. The price of a catty of pho noodles is about the same as that of a catty of rice. Anyone who has tried it knows that it is very filling.Ordinary people's homes do not eat rice a few times a year. Rice is extremely precious to ordinary people, but if the price can be cheap, some people are willing to buy half a catty.

It's just because the preparation is not enough, there is no such thing as a lunch box in this era, so once the guests want to pack it, it is a very troublesome thing.

Later, Cao Xiangnan thought of a way, that is, if he used their bowl to return it, he would have to mortgage a penny here, which is equivalent to renting it back, and he would return the money to the other party after returning the bowl intact.

When he said this, the other party really wanted to buy hor fun for his family to taste, and he was willing to spend a copper coin to rent a bowl with him.In the future, if you bring your own tools to install, you don’t need to spend a penny to rent their bowls.

Cao Xiangnan was thinking about getting some tools that can be packed, there will always be times when they need to be used, and it is best to put two more tables, there is a small space behind them, so thinking about it now, their booth is also excellent.

One catty of rice can produce about three catties of pho. If the quantity of clean pho is large, it is also a very good income, but the current problem is that they do not have enough manpower.

After noon, after the peak period, the number of customers gradually decreased, and their things were almost sold out, and there was still a little left, and the few guests who came were sold out.When the last pho was sold, the last customer was sent away, "Guest officer, please go slowly."

There were still customers coming later, so Cao Xiangnan could only tell the other party apologetically, "Our pho is sold out, please come back tomorrow." "I'm exhausted." He was so tired that he didn't want to move anymore, but he still had a happy smile on his face.

There was still a large basin of dishes and chopsticks that hadn't been washed, and he was too tired to wash them.

The bucket that Cao Xiangnan used to hold the money was their harvest today. At the beginning, he could count how many copper coins he sold, but later he couldn't remember it at all.

It was so good to start a business on the first day, and he was very excited, but he knew that there were so many people on the first day because the things were fresh, and they also gave away things. Can there be so many customers.Then think of a way when the time comes, there is always something feasible.

In the end, their pho was sold out, and they were tired and hungry after working for a long time, and they didn't even drink their saliva.

Cao Gang went to a biscuit shop opposite and bought some biscuits. There was still some soup in the pot. Cao Xiangnan filled a bowl of soup by himself, and everyone sat down and ate pancakes with the soup.The smile on Sun Bailian's face never stopped. He was so happy that the business was so good, "I really didn't expect our business to be so good." He said.

"Well, yes." Cao Xiangnan nodded, thinking about Qi Wanfeng who stayed at home to take care of the children, wondering if he and the children were doing well at home.

The business on the first day was so good, they were all very happy.

After lunch, Cao Gang, a thick man, squatted down to wash a large plate of dishes. From the beginning to the end, he was not seen showing the slightest sign of fatigue, and he was doing things silently.

The stalls were cleaned up, and the tables and chairs could not be placed here, for fear of being stolen by someone, they had to move the things to the small yard they rented nearby.Cao Xiangnan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he stayed at the stall to look at things, while Cao Gang and Sun Bailian moved things over there and moved them back and forth a few times before they were done.

"Our bowls and chopsticks are not enough. We need to prepare some more bowls and chopsticks. Where did you buy our bowls and chopsticks last time? Let's go and buy the same ones. Where is there packaged oil paper, let's buy some."

"Oh, there are food boxes for sale, let's buy two by the way, just in case." Cao Xiangnan explained all the problems he found today, that is, some things that need to be bought, "Behind our stall Isn’t there still a large piece of land, let’s buy two more tables?”

"En." Cao Gang nodded, no problem.

Sun Bailian also had no objection, thinking about how good the business is today, he could snicker as he walked.

They went shopping for what they needed, and ordered two tables and some stools to come back tomorrow morning to pick them up.There are still a lot of pig offal left on the pork stalls in the town, and they bought them all, otherwise there would be nowhere to buy pig offal by early tomorrow morning. It still doesn't stink by this time, otherwise let alone put it on the next day. This is also a problem that Cao Xiangnan is worried about.

In fact, the best thing is to buy pigs slaughtered on the same day, and the taste is the freshest and purest.

What Cao Xiangnan thought of was to rent a house here in the town, so that they would have a place to store their stalls, and it would be convenient for them to do business in the town.But renting a small house in the town costs a few bucks a month. If they make pho, they also need to bring a yard, and the monthly rent is even more expensive.

Moreover, they are now two families working together in partnership. He can't just consider their family's situation, but also think about each other. It is obviously unrealistic to think like this, at least it can't be realized now.

Today is the first day of doing business, so let's put these plans behind and take it step by step slowly.The bow of the bridge is naturally straight!At least they are off to a good start now, so they don't have to worry about losing money as soon as they open. They should have made a lot of money today.

When I got on the ox cart, the ox cart went back to Caojia Village slowly.
