Rebirth 2000: I Sold Lunchboxes and Earned 999 Apartments

He Wenlin, daughter of a migrant worker, is reborn to the year 2000!

At this time, she hasn't dropped out of school, her father hasn't been cheated, and the family isn't in debt!<...

Chapter 82 Time is tight and the task is heavy

He Wenlin rode her tricycle to the advertising company where she had previously ordered the banner.

It's called an advertising company, but it's actually just a graphic printing shop.

He Wenlin asked them to print one hundred coupons for boxed meals from Xiangmeizi Fast Food Restaurant on pink paper, and eighty coupons for 1.5 yuan each (applicable to fried rice noodles, fried rice, and glutinous rice).

He Wenlin handwrites the character "Lin" on each printed voucher. Because she has not yet obtained a business license or an official seal, she can only handwrite her name to prevent counterfeiting, since everyone's handwriting is unique.

After writing the vouchers down, He Wenlin had them sealed in film, and then cut them out one by one.

The vouchers were made quite large this time, so only eight vouchers could be cut from one A4 sheet of paper.

It's definitely not going to be done this afternoon. He Wenlin spent more than half an hour just signing the signatures, and that was only after signing the breakfast vouchers.

He Wenlin had no choice but to take the unsigned documents back to sign them, and then arrange with the advertising company to deliver them again around 7 or 8 p.m., while also picking up the other completed documents.

On the way back, He Wenlin rode her bike around to the shirt factory. He Shan hadn't taken a nap that day and came here again around 1 p.m. to get another batch of afternoon orders.

However, He Wenlin did not see He Shan here, guessing that she had gone back. He Wenlin then went to Meihua Garment Factory.

This time, Meihua Factory's order volume and value both increased, with the value reaching a total of 185.6 yuan.

"Xiao He, everyone is raving about your cooking skills." After saying that, Liu Meihua took out two pieces of paper and handed them to He Wenlin. "This is the amount everyone requested tonight, and this is the list of meals everyone ordered for tomorrow."

Because He Wenlin had a promotion where customers who spent over five yuan would receive a free boiled egg, almost everyone ordered all three meals at once.

Moreover, they almost always order fried noodles or fried rice in the evening, glutinous rice balls in the morning, and boxed lunches for lunch.

After receiving the money and order details, He Wenlin hurried back to the store.

"Linlin, when I went to the shirt factory, Peng Liang gave me 234 yuan and two order details. He wants 80 servings of glutinous rice balls tomorrow morning, 20 servings of fried noodles, 15 servings of fried rice, and 22 boxed lunches tonight." As soon as He Wenlin saw her, He Shan immediately reported, "Peng Liang is very clever. He knows that the factory does not allow taking orders during working hours, so he takes orders from everyone during lunchtime. It just so happens that everyone ate Uncle Xing's boxed lunch at noon, and they all thought it was not very good."

"That's good, very good. You've worked hard too."

All things considered, today's tasks are quite heavy again.

It was already 3:20, and time was running out. Fortunately, the shirt factory wasn't letting us work overtime tonight; we wouldn't be leaving until 6:00.

Since we didn't need to deliver boxed lunches to the shirt factory at noon, there was still quite a bit of seaweed salad left over from the morning's dish. So, the dinner menu is:

Boxed Meal A: Cold seaweed salad, pumpkin, and stir-fried green beans with meat.

Boxed Meal B: Stir-fried pork blood with pickled cabbage, pumpkin, and stir-fried green beans with meat.

He Wenlin quickly started cooking, using two pots to braise pumpkin and another pot to make stir-fried green beans with meat, making sure they could start packing the food by 4:30.

Now we have plenty of manpower, especially Grandma He, who is very quick and efficient, so packing is quite fast.

At 4:50, all the dishes were ready.

He Wenlin, Lin Fei, and He's father started making fried rice noodles and fried egg rice.

Each batch is cooked in two portions, and since it's done by three people, it's very quick.

However, He's father's fried rice wasn't good enough, so he and Lin Fei made fried noodles, while He Wenlin made fried rice.

At 5:15, Ruan Lingfeng went to Meihua Garment Factory to deliver goods.

Hongda has to work overtime tonight, so he will leave work at 5:30 for dinner. Ruan Lingfeng will miss delivering the goods to Hongda because of this back and forth.

Fortunately, Hongda is not far away.

At 5:25, He's father, He Wenjun, Lin Fei, and He Shan each carried a box of goods to deliver them.

This is too much trouble. He Wenlin felt that she still needed to buy another tricycle.

At 5:35, guests flooded in like a flood.

The deliveryman has returned.

The food distribution line was expanded to four rows, so it was all distributed in less than ten minutes.

There are practically no individual travelers anymore, because they've all been turned into regular customers who book in advance.

At 5:50, He Wenlin hurriedly ate a few bites of rice and began to prepare the grass carp. Soon, Chen Weihua from Hongda, who had booked a table of delicious food at He Wenlin's place, would be arriving with his friends.

Everyone in the shop knew about this, so after the meals were served and the customers went to work, Grandma He, Ruan Min, and He Shan quickly cleaned up the area.

Many of the customers who came to pick up their food just now opened and ate it immediately, leaving trash everywhere, which was unpleasant to look at.

In the food and beverage industry, cleanliness and tidiness are essential!

At 6:10, Peng Liang and two blond-haired men arrived first.

"Linlin, you can start cooking now. They'll be here in about ten minutes," Peng Liang said.

"Okay, I'll make it now. The ingredients have all been prepared. You can sit here and wait. Hey, get the guests some water."

After saying that, He Wenlin went into the kitchen.

Mr. He wanted to learn a trade, so he stayed by He Wenlin's side the whole time.

This was the first table of dine-in customers that He Wenlin had ordered stir-fried dishes, so she treated it with utmost care.

The ingredients had all been prepared beforehand, and the dishes started being served one after another starting at 6:20.

Since not all the guests had arrived yet, a complimentary cold cucumber salad was served first, which was refreshing and appetizing.

Next, dishes with broth were served. These dishes cool down slowly, so they are just the right temperature for the guests to eat when they arrive, without being too hot to burn their mouths.

The guests arrived at 6:30. He Wenlin was stir-frying a local specialty dish, and there were still some hot and sour shredded potatoes and garlic water spinach to cook.

He's father can now stir-fry hot and sour shredded potatoes perfectly, so He Wenlin asked him to do it. After she finished making a delicious country-style dish, she quickly stir-fried some water spinach with garlic.

At 6:40, all the dishes were served.

He Wenlin also personally delivered the last dish of vegetables.

Upon seeing He Wenlin, the group of people, who were enjoying their meal, repeatedly praised her: "Your cooking is absolutely amazing! I've never eaten such delicious food before, and the fish really has no bones! Amazing!"

"No wonder your business is so good. With such excellent skills, it's no wonder your business is booming."

"Exactly! I could eat three bowls of this fish soup with rice!"

...

Hearing these compliments, He Wenlin was in a good mood. As the boss and chef, it would be hard not to be happy to hear such words.

He Wenlin smiled and said, "Thank you all for recognizing my cooking skills. If you like the food, please come often and recommend it to your friends. However, you need to make a reservation in advance to order these dishes."

"There's definitely no problem."

"I absolutely have to introduce you to business!"

"Thank you very much, brothers. Please enjoy your meal. Call me if you need anything."

He Wenlin returned to the kitchen, settled the wages for the Ruan siblings, and then let them go home.

The others are counting today's turnover.

In conclusion, the actual amount received so far today is 1210 yuan.

"That's more than what I earned in a month working at the factory!" He Wenjun was extremely excited, and at that moment he truly believed that his sister had struck it rich!
