I will never give up until I die!

Su Jinyan didn't expect that just when he was thankful for choosing an easy major, the teacher in their department gave them a project and asked them to write their own code to make a small software within two months.

If the software is successful, the school will receive a huge reward and can also sell the software to computer manufacturers.

In short, if successful, it would be a considerable income, so all the students in the department began to study day and night, reading books again and again, and then they stayed in the computer room and kept writing code.

After a busy week, when the store opened on Saturday, Su Jinyan still took out half a day to go to the store and delivered 200 chicken legs, 200 chicken breasts, chicken wings, wing roots, pearls, etc. to the store.

As soon as she entered the store, she saw various oil paintings hanging on the wall. The paintings were very realistic and beautiful, which made this small shop more upscale. Su Jinyan handed Zhou Lirong the long down jackets, short down jackets, jeans, dresses, etc. that she had prepared in advance as payment for the ink for the paintings.

The publicity was very successful, which shows that Zhou Lirong and Liu Zhenbang put a lot of thought into it.

When she entered the store, Zhou Lirong was too busy to talk. The store was full and some people took their food away because there were so many people.

Liu Zhenbang was busy in the kitchen, directing the newly hired kitchen helper around.

Su Jinyan didn't say much and went straight into the kitchen to help wrap the batter and breadcrumbs.

"Xiaoyan is here. Hey, uncle has grown old and has not prepared enough things."

"Uncle, it's normal that you can't control the quantity on the first day. According to this quantity, the chicken I brought today is not enough. I will send another batch tomorrow."

While he was talking, his hands were moving quickly. Another kitchen helper turned over the chicken that Su Jinyan had taken, exclaimed in praise, and then began to cut it skillfully.

Several people were busy working when Zhou Lirong shouted from outside, "The milk tea is gone!"

Su Jinyan quickly boiled the milk tea, and after it was ready, she began to prepare the goods according to the order.

"Tell the guests that to thank all the guests for their patience, all milk teas can be added with an extra serving of pearls and coconut meat."

She said as she handed out the milk tea. Zhou Lirong smiled and nodded, "Your idea is good. The guests are getting impatient waiting now. If you add something like this, they will definitely not be unhappy."

After the milk tea was ready, she finished processing the backlog of orders and started steaming rice.

While the rice was steaming, she prepared the side dishes. After the side dishes were ready and the rice was steamed, she quickly made a variety of sushi. She looked at the situation in the store and then gave them out for free.

For couples at the table, she gave them two heart-shaped caviar sushis, and for children, she gave them seaweed tuna sushi and meat floss sushi.

After serving a group of customers, it was already past dinner time. Su Jinyan taught Liu Zhenbang several ways to make sushi. He was a chef and wanted to try to innovate in many things. After knowing the general methods, it would not be difficult for him to make sushi in the future.

"Uncle Liu, sushi will only be given away during the first three days of business. After that, it will be as planned. If you spend $5, you will get basic sushi. If you spend $10, you will get caviar or tuna or pork floss sushi. You can also make some of our Chinese classic and beautiful pastries, such as donkey rolls, walnut pastries, mung bean cakes, Yun cakes, etc. Just order at a reasonable price."

"We set three prices for sushi, a basic one, which contains a portion of twelve pieces, and is one dollar per portion, a medium one, such as meat floss, at two dollars per portion, and a third price set at three dollars per portion, such as caviar, tuna, salmon, and crab legs, all of which are set at this price."

"The basic milk tea is eight cents, and adding a portion of red beans is two cents. Other small ingredients are three cents each. This way, we can make a price list. In the evening, Uncle Liu will order the prices of all products. Aunt Zhou will go to the previous company tomorrow to make two colored price lists."

Liu Zhenbang nodded while fiddling with the abacus in his hand. While he was doing that, the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears, and he was extremely happy.

After a long while, he counted again and again, and then he said excitedly: "Xiaoyan, guess how much our half-day turnover is today?"

There were a lot of people coming today, so Su Jinyan didn't know. However, she smiled calmly and estimated based on the raw materials used in the morning, "1,500 to 1,700 or 1,800 US dollars?"

Liu Zhenbang raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and said, "Well, it's about right. The total turnover is 1,893 yuan."

"It seems like a good start, right?"

"Well, of course it counts, but it's a pity that we weren't well prepared today, so many customers left after waiting for a long time. Alas!"

Su Jinyan smiled and consoled him, "That's normal. We just need to be fully prepared tomorrow. However, looking at the current situation, we are still a little short of manpower. Let's hire two more people, even part-time workers."

Liu Zhenbang thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll just do it as a part-time worker."

Su Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liu, I want to ask the students who are studying abroad with me first. Many of them come from poor families and they barely brought much money with them when they left. I feel that the one dollar a day subsidy from the school for food is not enough. I want to ask if there is anyone who can cook and is willing to do it."

"If they are willing, they can earn more money and have more food to eat."

Liu Zhenbang smiled and said, "It's amazing that you still care about your compatriots. I agree. You can ask first. If there is really no one, I will recruit them."

"Yes, but I don't want my classmates to know that I opened a shop. I hope Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou can help keep it a secret."

After chatting for a while, Su Jinyan left the store and returned to school. As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she went to Teacher Zhang to talk about the recruitment matter.

"You mean, I can work three hours a day and get two dollars?"

Teacher Zhang asked doubtfully.

"Well, I also met the shop owner when I went to buy fried chicken last time. We were all Chinese, so we inevitably chatted a little more. Today I went to buy fried chicken nuggets, and he told me that we compatriots should be given priority. When I go to the store, I will help cut the chicken, coat the chicken with flour, eggs and breadcrumbs, and help pack and wash dishes when it's busy. But I'm mainly responsible for cutting things, so I have to be quick."

"Okay, I'll ask for help, is it okay for boys?"

"Of course you can. Boys have better physical strength and may work faster. Oh, I forgot to tell you, we're hiring two people in total. Go to the store and listen to the boss's instructions on what to do."

Although her studies are tight, she can spare three hours every day to earn some living expenses, which directly improves her quality of life. If she could leave, she would have wanted to do it.

"Okay, I'll go ask other dormitories right away. To be fair, I'll give one spot to a boy and one to a girl first."

Teacher Zhang put on a cotton jacket and hurried out of the dormitory. Su Jinyan finally had some free time, so he picked up the book and started reading.
