Chapter 7 Just wait for me tomorrow!

Behind the stall, the busy Zhao Xiaojing took a moment to glance at the glass cabinet. Several plates of fried skewers were already empty, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Although she had tasted it beforehand, she was still amazed by the recipe given by the system.

But since it was her first time setting up a stall, she was a little lacking in confidence. She never expected that the business would be so good.

While all the fried skewers were being taken out to drain the oil, Zhao Xiaojing opened the storage space under the tricycle, took out a large insulated box, and then took out several independent food boxes from the insulated box. She took out the skewers from the food boxes and replenished some of the varieties that were about to be sold out.

There were seven or eight ice packs in the thermal box, which I bought when I bought meat ingredients in the morning. I put them in the old refrigerator left by the previous tenant of the rental house and kept them frozen for several hours.

The independent food box is transparent and clean. As soon as it is taken out, a layer of white frost quickly forms on the surface. The skewers are also clean and have a fresh meat red color.

The parents standing nearby watched and nodded in satisfaction.

This fried skewers stall is not only delicious but also clean and hygienic. It is much better than the previous stall where all the meats were mixed together without any preservation measures, and the red and white meats were already stuck together and almost melted as soon as they were taken out.

The crowd suddenly became even more enthusiastic.

As soon as Zhao Xiaojing replenished all the out-of-stock ingredients and put the plates on the table, the surrounding parents immediately started a new round of ordering competition.

"Sister, I want two skewers each of squid, pork chops, cabbage, potatoes, and yellow mushrooms!"

"I want three skewers of eggplant, three skewers of rice cake, and non-spicy ones, sister!"

"Boss, I want it non-spicy too!"

"Sister, I want fried bananas for my mom! I also want pork tenderloin, pork belly, squid, and those two white and red ones!"

"Sister, sister, I want..."

When the older elementary school students were released one after another, they saw a fried skewers stall that was packed with people.

"What are you selling that has so many people buying it? Let's go buy some too!"

"Hey, a new fried skewers stall? Why are there so many people buying fried skewers? Hey, I'll go try some too!"

The older elementary school students also joined the crowd to buy skewers, and after buying them, another group stood by and ate with gusto.

Next door, Li Zhi, the owner of the porridge stall, looked again and again at the students standing next to him eating fried skewers, and even started to lose focus while selling porridge.

The only one-hour stall opening time felt particularly long today. The aroma of fried skewers from next door almost took her soul away!

Although her porridge stall business was particularly good today, most of the customers who bought porridge had a portion of fried skewers, so who would have the heart to sell porridge!

I don’t know how the fried skewers were made, but each one was fried until golden brown, and the dipping sauce was rich, which made her eyes widen.

And the smell is so delicious! She doesn’t usually eat fried food, but the aroma of this fried skewers is so tempting that it almost automatically penetrates her nose. She has long been tempted by the fried skewers in the hands of customers!

Li Zhi had been wanting to buy a few skewers to satisfy her craving, but even though the customers were sporadic today, they were still coming in constantly. She was anxiously selling porridge, swallowing countless saliva.

It was not until 17:30 that there was finally only one customer left at the porridge stall. Li Zhi packed up her food in a hurry, quickly covered the porridge bucket with a free gesture, and rushed to the fried skewers stall in just a few steps.

"Boss, I want to eat fried skewers, give me some!"

"I want……"

"Sold out?!!" Li Zhi looked at the empty glass cabinet in shock, the grievance in her voice almost overflowing.

"Ah... yes, the remaining skewers are all in the pot. They belong to this customer."

"Really? Not even a single string left? What about the ones you saved in your lunch box?"

"The lunch boxes are also... sold out."

Zhao Xiaojing looked weakly at the customer who couldn't buy skewers. Why did this customer look at her with eyes full of resentment?

She was also very confused and only prepared 500 skewers. She never thought that she could sell them all at once. She originally planned to sell some of them at the entrance of the elementary school and then sell them at the night market in the evening.

Li Zhi looked at the empty glass cabinet with a sad face, then glanced at the skewers that had just been taken out of the mixing bowl, her eager eyes seemed to have substance.

The young man with a child who was standing nearby waiting for the fried skewers felt a pang of anxiety in his heart and silently moved his feet to block the fried skewers in front of him.

He had been squeezed in with a bunch of students for half an hour, and when it was his turn, only the last dozen or so skewers were left! It wasn't enough for him and his daughter!

Zhao Xiaojing silently lowered her head and shielded her eyes with the brim of her hat. She quickly mixed the skewers, and she and the young man quickly handed them over in tacit understanding, and scanned the code to pay.

Then the young man quickly took his daughter and left, questioning his life as he walked.

I just bought some fried skewers, why does it act like I'm doing some shameful transaction?

"Sister, will you still sell it tomorrow?" Li Zhi asked unwillingly.

“Still selling.”

"Okay, wait for me tomorrow!"

"No, I'll wait tomorrow!"

"No, wait for me tomorrow!"

"Okay, you order first tomorrow and I'll save some for you."

Zhao Xiaojing was at a loss for words. She quickly packed up her stall, got on her tricycle and left briskly.

After returning to the rental house, Zhao Xiaojing did not rest. Instead, she excitedly opened her mobile phone and counted the total amount of money she had received that day.

The mobile phone payments were 513 yuan, plus the cash received was 241 yuan, totaling 754 yuan, which is the turnover for tonight.

After deducting the cost of materials Zhao Xiaojing spent today, she made nearly 300 yuan.

I don’t have enough money during the day, so I mostly buy vegetables and less meat. I don’t dare to buy expensive chicken legs and wings.

That, plus the takeout boxes, plates and tongs, seasonings and oil, cost nearly 500 yuan.

This is thanks to the support of the system, which provides stall carts, gas tanks, stoves and other large items. Otherwise, I would not even be able to make a profit today.

So, although it is possible to earn over 10,000 yuan a month by selling snacks, the process is also quite hard. It requires careful thinking, saving from every expense, and finding ways to make the best use of time and manpower.

Fortunately, she had a system, and all the money she spent today was recovered, and she even made another two or three hundred.

Not only do I have the working capital to continue purchasing goods tomorrow, but there is also half a pound of pork tenderloin, a small piece of pork belly and two packages of rice cakes left in the refrigerator at home.

Zhao Xiaojing lay on the bed and smiled, but the excitement in her head took a long time to subside.

I got the system, learned how to make fried skewers, set up a stall for the first time, saw customers lining up to buy the skewers, heard their endless praises... everything felt a little unreal.

Especially since my desperate desire to change my fate overcame my extreme social anxiety and I was determined to live on my own without any shame, and I actually got such a good response...

It all seemed too good to be true, so good that she didn't dare to think about it any further.
