The egg rolls were handed to Ruan Jianxin, and He Wenlin began to cook.

It's almost four o'clock now.

Today, neither Hongda nor Bosi Factory is working overtime; they won't finish until 6 PM, which is why He Wenlin dares to start cooking at this time.

Tonight's dishes are stir-fried pork belly with green beans, stir-fried pork belly with bitter melon, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves.

Green beans, sliced ​​diagonally and stir-fried with half-lean, half-fat pork, are especially delicious. Today, He Wenlin originally planned to make braised chicken wings, but several customers expressed a desire for stir-fried green beans with pork, so He Wenlin substituted the braised chicken wings and will make them tomorrow.

At 5:15, the orders for both the shirt factory and Meihua factory were completed.

He Wenlin sent Lin Fei and Ruan Lingfeng to deliver the goods. Before leaving, she packed four bags of egg rolls into plastic bags and gave one bag to Ruan Lingfeng: "Take these to Meihua Garment Factory and tell them that everyone can try them to thank them for their continued support. Also, tell them that our egg rolls are now available for pre-order. Each bag costs three yuan and weighs about six ounces. However, since the egg rolls are made fresh daily, if you order now, we will ship them by noon tomorrow at the latest and bring them to them as early as tomorrow morning."

Then give the remaining three bags to Lin Fei: "Take these to the shirt factory and tell Peng Liang that the 1.5 yuan voucher can also be used to buy egg rolls."

The shirt factory has a large workforce and has always had a stable business, so He Wenlin gave out more samples.

He Wenlin delivered more than two kilograms of egg rolls in one go. The egg rolls were light but bulky, and the tray was almost half empty.

Lin Fei and Ruan Lingfeng took the items and immediately set off on their tricycle.

He Wenlin still had to keep busy at the stove, as the goods from Bosi Garment Factory and Hongda hadn't been prepared yet.

By 6 p.m., all the orders were ready.

Because there's no overtime work at night, the workers don't leave right on time after their shift. Hongda is also nearby, so He Wenlin only delivers the goods at six o'clock.

There were no customers picking up their orders at her shop yet.

He Wenlin packed three more bags of egg rolls for Hongda and asked Ruan Lingfeng to take them over for everyone to try.

After delivering them like this, the egg rolls on the tray were reduced to less than three pounds.

"Your hand is really big," said Mr. He with some concern. "You've already given away four or five kilograms, right? When the people from the Boss Silk Factory come later, you'll definitely have to give away more."

“We’re in the food business, so we shouldn’t be afraid of people eating it, especially since we’re just starting out. If people find it delicious, they’ll definitely come and buy it,” He Wenlin said. “Today is our first day, so we’re hoping for a lively and auspicious start.”

After He Wenlin finished speaking, she glanced at the egg roll batter, which was almost empty.

He Wenlin just generously gave away more than four kilograms, and now there's even less left on the tray.

"Uncle Ruan, can you continue working here tonight? If so, I'll prepare a pot of porridge right away."

Ruan Jianxin excitedly said, "Yes, I can do it, I'm willing."

Only a fool wouldn't take the opportunity to make money.

"Okay, I'll go get ready now. You don't need to go back; you can eat here too."

He Wenlin turned around and went to weigh the ingredients.

Making egg roll batter is very simple once you have a recipe. Its main ingredients are water, sugar, flour, oil, and sesame seeds.

Just as the egg beater was running, the landlady, Grandma Wang, arrived.

She was surprised to see Ruan Jianxin working here, which is why she came over.

"Jianxin, you found a job?"

Ruan Jianxin smiled and said, "Yes, I've found a job. The boss here is nice and willing to hire me."

"That's wonderful!" Grandma Wang was genuinely happy for Ruan Jianxin. "How much is it per month?"

"The small business owner said the business is just starting out and he doesn't know how it will go in the future, so he's temporarily hiring temporary workers for 2.5 yuan an hour. If business is good and production increases, the working hours will be longer."

"Business must be good. It's 2.5 yuan an hour, which is not bad. My Lina only makes 500 yuan a month at the supermarket. It smells pretty good. Weigh two jin for me."

Ruan Jianxin was stunned for a moment.

While she was still in a daze, Grandma Wang put it in a bag herself.

He Wenlin didn't need to watch the egg beater all the time. She turned the setting down to the lowest setting and went outside to greet the guests.

I happened to see Grandma Wang packing egg rolls.

"Xiao He, how much is it per pound? I'll weigh two pounds."

He Wenlin quickly stepped forward to pack it for her and weighed it, saying, "Grandma Wang, you're amazing! It's exactly two jin (1 kg). You're my first customer, so I'll give you a few more. If you like it, please tell me more about it!"

He Wenlin put four more in for her.

"Okay, I'll definitely promote it for you."

"What smells so good?"

"It's an egg roll! It smells so good, and it looks delicious."

"Daming, your business is booming! You're even making egg rolls now. How much is it per pound?"

...

Just then, the workers at the Bosi factory finished their shift and, smelling the fragrance, took a deep sniff.

Grandma Wang left with her things, not wanting to interfere with other people's business.

He Wenlin smiled and picked up the egg rolls, broke them in half, and distributed them to everyone: "Egg rolls are five yuan a pound. Everyone, please try them first. If you want some, you can pre-order, but we won't have any until tomorrow morning. We only started making them this afternoon. The people who passed by just now smelled the aroma and bought them all. There are only a few left, so if you want some, you can pay to pre-order and pick them up tomorrow morning."

He Wenlin lies without blushing or panicking.

Whether the items were sold or given away, those close to them knew perfectly well, but no one would dare to expose it.

"It tastes good, crispy and crunchy, I'll buy half a pound."

"I'll have half a jin too."

...

More than ten portions were ordered at once, all by the half-pound.
