Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
After Xiaocao followed Yingsi with the food, he delivered the food upstairs right under the noses of the craftsmen.
Everyone only felt a fragrance lingering at the tip of their noses, and their eyes were fixed on the food on the tray. They were reluctant to buy the fried chicken, and the shiny noodles looked delicious. They didn't feel hungry at first, but now the smell of this fragrance made them feel hungry.
As they watched the tray gradually move away, everyone swallowed hard, thinking that they would definitely go to that shop to have a bowl of soup after work.
Xiaocao didn't dare to look around the whole time. She sent the food on the tray in and then walked out. It was her first time delivering food to customers, so she was inevitably a little nervous. Fortunately, everything went well. She cheered herself up and rushed back immediately. The shop must be very busy at this time.
When she walked out of the inn, she saw some people standing on the street studying the price list hanging outside her shop. Perhaps attracted by the fragrance in the shop, after seeing the price list, those people did not hesitate and went into the shop in groups of three or five.
The craftsmen from the nearby shops were surrounded by the fragrance for the whole morning. After finishing their work, they walked into the snack shop in tacit understanding.
Suddenly, the sound of orders coming in from the shop was resounding, and customers kept coming in. Li Yan was extremely busy. Fortunately, the soy sauce shop next door had sold out of soy sauce, so Lin Qing and Daya closed their shop and came over to help.
"Shopkeeper, give me three bowls of scallion oil noodles!" After ordering their food, these people walked straight to the empty seats and sat down.
This shows how convenient it is to have a price list. Normally, when they enter a store, they first ask about the price and, after hesitating for a while, order the food they can afford. Those who are afraid of the high prices of food in the store dare not go forward.
Now that Li Yan has hung the price list outside, they naturally weighed the pros and cons first. After entering the store, they watched the shopkeeper busying himself, ordered food, and then found an empty seat to sit down. This way, they were much more efficient.
Li Jianmin and his friends only needed to focus on preparing the food in their hands and did not need to devote their energy to entertaining guests.
Li Yan quickly served the prepared scallion oil noodles to the customer, and then went on to prepare the next meal. She was quite efficient.
After delivering the food, Xiaocao quickly came to take over Li Yan's job of mixing noodles. Li Yan then began to collect money, receive guests and remember their orders.
"Shopkeeper, I want two servings of mixed noodles and two servings of braised tofu."
"The store gave me three bowls of scallion oil noodles and a fried chicken."
"Hey, here they are. These are the two servings of mixed noodles and two servings of dried tofu you ordered." Li Yan quickly brought the food to the man's table.
Some people ordered a bowl of scallion oil noodles, some ordered a bowl of scallion oil noodles and a portion of braised food, and there were a few who didn't care about spending money and ordered scallion oil noodles and a fried chicken together.
There are rich ways to eat, and there are poor ways to eat. No matter what they choose, everyone eats with relish. The noodles exude the aroma of scallion oil, and are drizzled with delicious soy sauce. They are oily and salty. For these people who have never tasted any fine food, their taste buds are fully satisfied.
The seats in this shop are already full, and there are customers waiting outside eagerly. Seeing the diners in the shop eating with gusto, these people feel that it is acceptable to wait a while.
Just as Li Yan instructed her cousin to move the tables and chairs from the next door and place them outside, those people bluntly said, "The store owner is in trouble too. We work in a nearby shop, so it's the same if we bring the food over!"
Having said that, Li Yan still asked her cousin to set up two tables and four benches outside the shop so that those who didn't want to walk around could sit down and rest for a while.
They were so busy welcoming and seeing off wave after wave of customers that they didn't even have time to drink water. It looked like all the craftsmen in the market had come to Li's shop to eat scallion oil noodles!
After Li Yan sent off the last wave of customers, she thought she could sit down and rest, but unexpectedly, more than ten students came outside the door. They first stood on the street, looked at the price list drawn by Li Yan, chattered for a while, and then walked into the store.
These people were all guided here by the four people from yesterday. They said that the tea eggs in this restaurant tasted very good, so they came here after school.
"The store opened a little late today. I came by to check this morning, but it was closed!" said a student who came to the store yesterday.
"Sorry, sorry, the journey is a bit long, so I'm a little late in getting here. Do you still want tea and eggs? I'll get them for you right now!" Li Jianmin said apologetically on the side.
The man waved his hand and said, "No hurry, I just saw you guys have mixed noodles today, so give me some mixed noodles and a tea egg!"
When the other students saw what he ordered, they couldn't wait to order what they wanted to eat.
Most of these students ordered a bowl of noodles with scallion oil and a serving of tea and eggs. Since they were able to come here, they had some money on them, so they were willing to spend this little bit of money.
"What do you think? I'm right, right?" a student asked his classmate who was eating braised eggs with gusto.
The student who was eating the tea-tea egg didn't bother to speak, but just nodded continuously. It was delicious, salty and fragrant. He thought to himself that he would bring some home for his grandfather who had no appetite to try.
After the group finished eating the noodles, they were still reluctant to leave, so one of them bought some tea eggs as snacks before leaving.
After seeing off the last wave of guests, everyone was starving. Li Jianmin was busy preparing food for everyone, while Li Yan scooped some braised eggs from the ceramic pot for everyone to fill their stomachs.
"Brother, remember to eat tomorrow when no one is here. It will be busy and there will be no fixed time." Li Yan ordered.
Li Jianmin listened to his sister's instructions and kept moving his hands. He took out the noodles from the hot pot in a few seconds, imitated Li Yan's method of mixing noodles, poured the boiled scallion oil on them, and then mixed them with soy sauce.
Looking at the delicious food being served, they didn't bother to talk anymore. In an instant, the only sound they could hear was the slurping of noodles coming from the shop.
After satisfying their hunger, they still did not take a break and cleaned up the tables and chairs, washed the dishes and pots.
By the time everything was packed up, it was already half an hour later!
After cleaning up the store, it is time for the daily summary. At this time, everyone can speak freely and talk to Li Yan about today's revenue or difficulties encountered.
"Everything is going well at the soy sauce shop today. Except that when we came today, customers were already waiting outside the door, and the rest were just begging for more goods!" Lin Qing said.
"There's no rush about the supply. We'll start with a stable supply of 200 kilograms every day. As for the store opening time, we'll open earlier on market days, and the rest of the days will be early in the morning," Li Yan replied.
