Chapter 203 I Won’t Come Again
Yu Hui hammered a nail into the door frame on the right side of the store and hung a wooden sign with the four big characters "Happy Noodle House" on it.
There is no plaque hanging in the middle of the door, but a wooden sign hanging on the right side, which looks more suitable and simple with the simple bungalow shop.
The noodle shop will open tomorrow, but Gu Huai has training tomorrow and cannot take a leave.
"I'm sorry, the noodle shop opens tomorrow and I can't go to help." Gu Huai said to Yu Hui apologetically while holding the bowl of rice.
He felt very guilty for being absent as a husband on such an important day.
"It's okay." Yu Hui waved her hand nonchalantly, "You've already helped a lot."
The money to open the restaurant was all from his salary.
He built the stove and countertop, brought back the table and stools, and even got the industrial invoice for the big iron pot. He really helped a lot.
Gu Huai: "I'll try to get home on time tomorrow." Then I'll go help in the evening.
Yu Hui nodded while eating, not caring whether he would come home on time.
The next morning, Yu Hui woke up before six o'clock. She thought that even if the meat truck from the meat processing plant delivered the meat to the camp and the canteen of the military family compound first, it would take her quite early. So she got up and planned to wait outside the store first.
When I reached the kitchen door, Gu Huai was already washing rice and cooking porridge.
Yu Hui took the mouthwash cup and toothbrush on the windowsill and stood in front of the laundry sink to wash.
Gu Huai finished cooking the porridge and walked out of the kitchen. He looked at Yu Hui and greeted her, "Are you up?"
"Yeah." Yu Hui nodded, spitting out some of the mouthwash she'd used to rinse her mouth, and rinsing her toothbrush in the cup. She looked at Gu Huai and said, "Don't go to the cafeteria to buy steamed buns and fried dough sticks later. I'll go to the store entrance to pick up the meat from the meat processing plant. You stay home to watch over the child so he won't be left alone when he wakes up. When I come back, buy some steamed buns and fried dough sticks from the cafeteria."
"Okay." Gu Huai nodded.
Yu Hui washed her face and hurried to the store.
There are quite a lot of people going to the grocery store to buy vegetables at this time, and those who know each other will say hello when they see each other.
"Xiao Yu." Zhao Chunhong greeted Yu Hui with a smile when she saw her.
"Aunt Zhao."
"Are you going to the grocery store to buy vegetables?" Zhao Chunhong asked with a smile.
Yu Hui replied, "My noodle shop opens at noon, and I'm going to pick up the meat from the meat processing plant."
"It opens today?" Zhao Chunhong's voice became a little louder due to surprise.
She heard that Yu Hui was going to open a noodle shop, but she didn't expect it to open so soon.
Her husband Chaochao also said that he would go to eat at the noodle shop as soon as it opened.
This caused the people walking in front to turn around and look at them.
"Yes, it opens at noon."
Zhao Chunhong: "Then I won't cook lunch today. I'll just go to your restaurant and eat noodles."
Yu Hui: "Auntie, you must come. I will add more meat to your noodles."
"That's a deal."
"It's a deal."
"Xiao Yu, let's go eat. Do you want more meat?" a middle-aged woman I didn't know well asked with a smile.
Yu Hui smiled cheerfully and said, "Add more meat to everything. As long as they're from our military family compound, since today is the first day of business, we'll give them more meat."
"Okay, I'll go to your shop to eat after I get off work at noon."
The middle-aged woman who was speaking worked in the street office outside the military family compound, very close by.
"Welcome, welcome."
Yu Hui chatted and laughed with everyone until they reached the grocery store. Just as she was about to go back to her store, someone from the grocery store came out and shouted, "Xiao Yu, don't go. The meat you wanted has been left with us by the meat processing factory."
Yu Hui was stunned at first, then she slapped her forehead. She was really stupid. She forgot that the meat in this grocery store was also sent by the meat processing plant.
When people want to deliver meat from the grocery store, they send it here, so they must have sent her meat along early as well.
Yu Hui went into the grocery store, picked up her own meat, and kept expressing her gratitude.
The salesperson at the grocery store handed her a note and said, "This is the driver's phone number. If there are any changes to the meat you order every day, just call."
"Sister Tang, at what time does the meat for your grocery store usually arrive from the meat processing plant?" Yu Hui asked the salesperson, Sister Tang.
Sister Tang said, "It's usually delivered at half past five."
Then she will have to get up earlier every day to pick up the meat.
Sister Tang seemed to see what she was thinking, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to get up early to answer it yourself, we can help you answer it."
Yu Hui's man is a promising deputy group leader, and Sister Tang is willing to do her a small favor and do her a good deed.
"That's too much trouble for you." Yu Hui said embarrassedly.
Sister Tang waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a simple task."
Yu Hui: "My noodle shop will open at noon. I'd like to invite you, Sister Tang, to have some noodles."
Sister Tang smiled brightly and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Yu Hui smiled, put the meat on the table, covered it with a colander and went back. She went to the cafeteria and bought some buns and fried dough sticks.
The woman selling steamed buns and fried dough sticks laughed at her sarcastically, "Xiao Yu, don't you already own a noodle shop? Why are you still buying food from our cafeteria?"
Everyone in the cafeteria had heard that Yu Hui was going to open a noodle shop and Wen Zhaodi's family was going to open a steamed bun shop.
They felt a little uncomfortable about this. These two people opened a restaurant outside the staff quarters. Aren’t they just stealing business from their cafeteria?
In the morning, Secretary Zhou, who was in charge of the canteen, held a meeting with them and said that now there were individual businesses opening restaurants outside. If their canteen did not improve and enhance the taste and service, people would go to eat in restaurants outside.
If no one comes to eat in the cafeteria, their cafeteria will collapse and everyone will be unemployed.
They thought that Secretary Zhou was exaggerating. How could a small noodle shop or a small bun shop possibly compete with their canteen's business?
They are much cheaper in terms of price.
Now that I see Yu Hui coming to the cafeteria to buy food, I can’t help but say something sarcastic.
Yu Hui could tell, so she frowned. "I won't come here anymore. I was too busy these past few days, so I came to the cafeteria to buy it. The kids also complained that the buns and fried dough sticks in the cafeteria weren't tasty, and they wanted to eat the ones I made."
"Now that the store is packed up, I'll make breakfast for them at home from now on."
After saying that, Yu Hui turned around and left with the buns and fried dough sticks.
The lady selling buns was so angry that her face turned green.
If you have the guts, don’t come to their cafeteria to buy food in the future.
After returning home and having breakfast, Gu Dong consciously collected the dishes and washed them.
Gu Huai went to work and Gu Dong went to school, so Yu Hui and Qian Lan went to the store with their three children.
I also brought Beibei's baby stool over.
Yu Hui went to the grocery store again and bought some onions, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, star anise, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and a few bunches of leeks.
When she returned to the store, she took out her notebook and pen to do the accounting.
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi sat on the bench and helped to sort the vines.
Yu Hui asked Qian Lan to clean the pig intestines by the ditch outside the store.
She fried the soul chili first.
