Chapter 206: Very Hot
Yu Hui ate the noodles methodically and said to the people standing at the door, "I'm sorry, the tables in the store are full."
"It's okay, the noodles are ready, we can just stand at the door and eat them."
"That's right, we don't mind eating standing up."
The person sitting by the door eating noodles said to the people outside: "This noodles is so delicious, it's delicious even if you eat it standing up."
"Yes, this is the best noodles I've ever had. The noodles are chewy, spicy, and fragrant, and the beef is big chunks. And you don't need a ticket, only 40 cents, which is much more affordable than a state-owned restaurant."
"that is……"
Others followed suit.
Soon, a long line formed outside the store.
The store was bustling with activity. Except for Gu Xixi who was ordered to look after her sister, everyone else was busy.
There were not enough dishes and chopsticks in the store, so Yu Jianshe helped collect the dishes, Yu Lixin and Gu Dong helped wash the dishes, and Gu Nan helped collect the money.
Because there were so many people, we just collected money directly after the noodles were served to the customers. The customers understood and had no objections.
Yu Hui and Qian Lan took turns preparing the seasonings.
If there are no seats available, you can queue up to order, pay directly when the noodles are served, pick up your chopsticks and find a place to squat at the door, or stand and eat.
Wen Zhaodi had been pushed aside a long time ago. Seeing the long line outside the noodle shop, her eyes were red with jealousy, but her heart was burning.
It was as if he saw the bustling scene after his bun shop opened.
Yu Hui's noodle shop is doing so well, I'm sure her bun shop will be even more popular in the future.
Qian Lai never expected that business would be so good.
"The beef is sold out..."
"The pig intestines are sold out..."
"The shredded pork is sold out..."
As the noodles were sold out, the customers who had been waiting in line for noodles did not leave, but instead chose vegetarian noodles.
Yu Hui’s seasoning is good, even the plain noodles are delicious.
Customers who could only order vegetarian noodles complained to Yu Hui while waiting in line.
"Boss Yu, please make more beef tomorrow. I'll come back to eat tomorrow."
"Give me more pig intestines, and I'll come early tomorrow."
Yu Hui picked the noodles and said yes with a smile.
"There are still twenty servings of vegetarian noodles left. Newcomers, please don't wait in line."
"Ah..." There was a cry of grief.
"I came here specially to eat after work, but how come even the vegetarian noodles are gone? Xiao Yu, can you prepare some more noodles?"
Yu Hui smiled and replied, "I'm afraid we won't be able to sell it, so I prepared too little. I'll definitely prepare more tomorrow. My apologies, everyone. Come early tomorrow and I'll buy you more meat."
After hearing this, those who didn't eat the food left with regret and smiles.
Before two o'clock, as the last customer finished his noodles and left, the business of Happiness Noodle House came to an end for the day.
Yu Hui sat on a stool against the wall and felt her hands shaking.
The two brothers Gu Dong and Yu Jianshe helped collect the dishes and put them in the basin to wash.
Gu Nan took a rag to wipe the table, and Gu Xixi took a broom to sweep the floor.
Qian Lan was too tired to move. Looking at the busy children, she smiled and said, "These children have helped us a lot today."
If Dongdong and Jianshe hadn't helped collect and wash the dishes, all these bowls would have been unusable.
Yu Hui also laughed, "Then we have to pay them."
Qian Lan: "Why pay them wages? Just give them a bowl of noodles."
"Hehehe..." The two of them laughed.
The children looked at their mothers with confused faces, not knowing what their mothers were laughing at.
"Dongdong, Jianshe, Lixin, stop washing. Lie down on the table and take a nap. It's time to go to school." Yu Hui shouted at the three children who were washing dishes.
The children start classes at three o'clock and have to go to school at two-thirty.
They are all busy now, so they can take a break and clean up a little in the afternoon, wash what needs to be washed, and then go home directly.
Yu Jianshe skillfully washed the dishes with a rag. "Aunt Yu, the three of us will wash them together. It will be ready soon. We are not sleepy."
Yu Lixin: “…”
Could he say he was a little sleepy?
Gu Dong nodded, "We are not sleepy."
Seeing that they insisted on washing, Yu Hui stopped shouting.
"Without these kids, we really wouldn't be able to handle everything today. There are only two of us in the store, and it feels like it's not enough." Yu Hui said with a frown.
Running a restaurant is not like running other stores. The busy times are when customers come in.
Qian Lan thought for a moment and said, "We just don't have enough bowls. If we had enough, we could wash them after we're done eating, and let the customers line up to order and pay. I'll help you clear the table, and I'll be able to handle it."
Yu Hui smiled mischievously, "You also said I bought too many bowls."
Qian Lan smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, please stop exposing my shortcomings. I didn't expect business to be so good. I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy some more clay bowls."
Clay bowls are cheap.
"I don't know how much money was sold today?" Qian Lan said as she glanced at the cash box on the counter. All the money collected today was in the box, and it was full.
"Okay, stop washing and cleaning up, come and help me count the money." Yu Hui brought the cash box over and put it on the table, saying to the children.
When the children heard that they were asked to help count the money, they all put down their work.
They were also very curious about how much money was sold today, and they all wiped their hands and counted the money.
Most of the money was in denominations of one or two cents. Yu Hui asked them to put ten one-cent notes together to make one dollar, and put one one-cent note between the other nine.
Put five two-cent notes together.
Gu Xixi was not very good at counting money, so she helped to sort it out, straightening out the wrinkled banknotes for her brothers to count.
There is strength in numbers, and the money was counted quickly.
Yu Hui added up the total. "Excluding the change, the total is seventy-seven dollars and twenty cents."
"How much?" Qian Lan suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Yu Hui smiled and replied, "Seventy-seven dollars and twenty cents. After deducting the thirty-seven dollars we spent today, we've made a net profit of forty dollars!"
She calculated the rental cost, but she didn't calculate the chopsticks and other things she bought, after all, these were considered fixed assets.
"Oh my God..." Qian Lan covered her mouth in disbelief.
Forty yuan, a small noodle shop with eight tables, made forty yuan a day.
Several children also opened their mouths in shock.
Their mother earns more money in one day than other mothers earn in a month.
"Forty a day, thirty days is..."
She couldn't figure it out.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Twelve thousand. However, we don't necessarily have this business every day. We have one day off every week, so it shouldn't be that much."
Even if it's not twelve hundred, it's still several hundred!
Then she can get at least several dozen dollars a month!
Qian Lan's heart was burning with excitement. "Our business is so good, why should we take a break? We can sell every day, morning, noon and night. We will definitely make more money."
Many people here have the habit of eating noodles in the morning. Even if the morning business is not as good as at noon, they can still make some money.
