Lu Xiang transmigrated into the 1980s as a cannon fodder supporting female character. In the book, her scummy grandma, coveting a bride price, made her impersonate the female lead to get married. W...
Chapter 218 Recruiting More People
Lu Xiang quickly recruited two more aunts, making a total of five people.
When we were busy in the evening, we prepared a lot of dishes. We were busy in the evening for a while. Many people who bought spicy hot pot saw that there was no place to eat in the restaurant, so they simply took it home to eat.
Selling a little bit is no worse than selling at noon.
Over 300 bowls were sold that evening, and Lu Xiang immediately went to the suppliers of vegetables, mushrooms, and dried tofu to get more stock. She even bought ten bundles of dry cold noodles at once.
The salesperson from the county soda factory even came to her house and asked her if she wanted soda, and offered her a very reasonable price.
Lu Xiang had bought soda from the supply and marketing cooperative before and knew the prices. This one was cheaper than buying it at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lu Xiang immediately said, "Then unload ten boxes for me!"
The soda salesman didn't expect Lu Xiang to have so much purchasing power, and was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll give you another box!" The box he gave her was peanut milk.
This peanut milk has a newly developed flavor and hasn't sold much yet. It relies entirely on repeat customers who give it to us, but this box is not cheap.
It was just a way to build relationships. Seeing that Lu Xiang was a big customer, he gave it to her.
The night before, Lu Xiang and five aunts prepared some side dishes, picked what needed to be picked, washed what needed to be washed, and waited until the next day to wash them again, so as to avoid being busy and anxious.
Many hands make work faster, and soon the prepared vegetables piled up like a mountain. The two new aunts were a little panicked, wondering if they could sell all the food.
Green leafy vegetables cannot be stored. It’s okay to keep them for a few hours before, but they will rot if left for too long. You have to bear the consequences if they go bad. It’s such a huge loss.
But Lu Xiang said: "It doesn't matter!"
The next few days were just as Lu Xiang had expected. No matter how many vegetables we prepared, they were not enough to sell.
As soon as noon arrived, people lined up in a hurry, and Lu Xiang was forced to write that each person could only buy a maximum of two bowls.
There is no way. If there are people in front buying ten or eight bowls at a time, the people in the queue behind will have to wait too long.
Lu Xiang earns at least 700 to 800 yuan a day.
The people at the steel mill also asked, "Do you sell it on Saturdays and Sundays?"
When he asked this question, everyone else's attention was drawn to it. The factory is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Generally, the shops around here follow the same pace as them, but they are addicted to eating spicy hot pot.
There are more than 20 dishes in total. You can eat them in different ways and adjust the taste. I just can't get enough of them.
After getting used to the spicy and numbing taste of Malatang, everything else tastes bland and I wish I could eat it every day.
There is also soda here. You can eat hot spicy hot pot and drink ice-cold soda. It’s such a great treatment.
The little girl next to him also said, "Yes, my cousin is coming to visit me tomorrow. If you're open, I can invite her over for a meal!"
Her cousin is from the city. She always says that everything in the city is delicious, and she complains that the food in the county is too bad.
Now that there is Malatang here, she also wants to show it off to others. She heard from people in the factory that this Malatang is unique and not available anywhere else in the city.
Lu Xiang said, "I'll work on Saturday and have a day off on Sunday!" She also needed a rest.
When these people heard that they were open on Saturdays, they immediately spread the word. Lu Xiang saw this and felt uneasy. She had originally wanted to sell some on Saturday, but she didn't want it to be too busy.
Sure enough, as soon as the shop opened on Saturday, people came to eat.
This is their rest day, not as busy as on weekdays. But they are busy all day long.
At noon, a well-dressed girl with red lips came over and said to her cousin, "Is this the spicy hot pot you were talking about?"
For a white-collar worker like her, writing articles on a daily basis is quite respectable.
I came back because my grandparents were sick and I came back to visit them. I felt that there was nothing good to eat here.
She said that a new steamed dumpling restaurant had opened in the city, and that customers who ordered steamed dumplings would receive a can of hawthorn juice, so there were a lot of people coming.
Finally, my cousin insisted that there was a delicious food here, and brought her here mysteriously. When we got there, we didn't like the small storefront, but when we smelled it carefully, we could smell the fragrance, which was very tempting and we had never smelled it before.
He couldn't help swallowing: "Let's go in and take a look!" Since we were already here.
It's only ten o'clock now, not even lunchtime, but the place is almost full, so you can share a table with others.
Her cousin immediately took a seat, skillfully placed the food on the chair, and said to her cousin, "Let's go get some food!"
Pick up food? Her cousin had never heard of it.
"I'll take you to see it!" My cousin suddenly felt the joy of showing off. It turned out that when facing such an ignorant person, a sense of superiority came up immediately.
They went over immediately.
There are more than twenty kinds of dishes at the window. You can take a small basket and add whatever you want to eat. It's quite fresh.
My cousin thought all the dishes were mediocre and didn’t know which one was delicious.
But my cousin was very familiar with it. She liked potato chips and kelp. She felt that the kelp was crispy and the potato chips were also crispy. It was a taste she had never tasted before.
My cousin didn’t know what to eat, so she picked up a lot of mushrooms and dried tofu.
I added some other green leafy vegetables as well and finally handed it to the pretty proprietress.
My cousin was amazed. She had never seen such a beautiful girl in the city. She really missed out on time in the county.
She was talking secretly to her cousin.
Cousin: "Come on, the boss lady makes more in a day than you make in a year."
My cousin didn't believe it, saying that this spicy hot pot is not expensive at only one dollar a bowl.
My cousin didn't explain much to her and said, "Two more bottles of iced orange soda!"
Then the two of them took it and put it on the seat. After a while, they started to add noodles and adjust the taste.
My cousin likes spicy, sour and sweet food, but my cousin doesn’t understand, so she tries the same thing as her.
Finally, a big bowl of steaming hot spicy hotpot came. My cousin said, "I can't finish all this!"
When it is brought to the table, mix it carefully and make sure every noodle is coated with sauce.
Especially the sesame paste on top, after coating it with other sweet and sour flavors, it is amazing to eat it.
My taste buds were dancing. I had never eaten anything so delicious. My cousin said she couldn’t finish it all, but in the end, there was not a single noodle left except for the soup. It was so delicious.
My cousin immediately said, "Or I won't leave tomorrow!"
My cousin immediately understood the meaning of her words and said, "The boss lady will be off tomorrow!"
My cousin was so anxious that she just said, "Come back next week."
My cousin asked, "Just because of this bowl of noodles?"
My cousin snorted and denied it hypocritically. Even if she had such an idea, she couldn't say it out loud!
But this spicy hot pot is really, the most delicious one ever.
