Chapter 208 Strike while the iron is hot?
Yu Qiang shook his head. "It's too late to say anything now. Just follow Xiao Yu and work hard. It only takes half a day, and a few dozen yuan a month is not bad."
"Think about those military wives who work in factories, working from morning till night and only making a little over 20 yuan a month."
She can barely read or write, but she doesn't have to work too hard and can still earn so much money a month, which is pretty good.
Qian Lan nodded and said, "Yes."
That’s all I can think of now.
The next morning at 5:30, Yu Hui was waiting at the door of the grocery store to receive the meat.
She called the meat processing plant yesterday afternoon to order today's meat.
The driver from the meat processing plant first delivered the goods to the camp canteen, then to the canteen of the military family compound, and finally came to the grocery store to deliver the goods.
Qian Lan also took the money given by Yu Hui to the market and bought two hundred earthenware bowls.
Seeing Yu Hui standing by the car waiting, Sister Tang said, "Xiao Yu, didn't I tell you that you don't have to come so early? I can just help you pick up the goods."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I'd like to save trouble this way, but when the meat arrives, I have to give the money to the driver and take it back."
Sister Tang nodded and said nothing more.
But I was thinking in my heart that I had lost the favor of helping to receive the meat, and I would not be able to eat the free beef noodles.
That beef noodles is really delicious. I want to eat it at noon.
Let's go have some shredded pork noodles at noon, it will save us two cents.
After breakfast, Yu Hui and Qian Lan brought their children to the store and started preparing in an orderly manner.
When Yu Hui went to the grocery store to buy vegetables, she also bought three pounds of pork ribs and hung them on the wall of the cabin.
It's cool in that room, and the meat won't go bad even if you hang it for a long time.
Anticipating that today would be very busy, Yu Hui cooked noodles for them before 11:30.
Beibei put a few slices of tender meat with less salt in the noodles.
"Is this the place Lao Wei is talking about?"
"This is the Happy Noodle House." A dozen people stood at the door of the store looking around. They were all from Uncle Wei's village.
Yesterday, I heard from Uncle Wei and the others that the noodle shop outside the military family compound was delicious. In order to verify whether it was really delicious, they came here together today.
When Qian Lan saw someone at the door of the store, she walked out with a bowl of noodles.
"Would you like to eat noodles, sir?"
Everyone nodded, "Eat noodles, can we eat now?"
"Okay, come in and sit down first." Qian Lan greeted.
As soon as more than a dozen people entered the store, they filled three tables.
Qian Lan finished her noodle soup and went to take their order.
After ordering, Yu Hui came down.
As soon as the noodles were served, Qian Lan took the money.
"Why are you charging me before I even eat?" someone asked unhappily.
Qian Lan smiled and said, "We'll be crowded soon, and we won't be able to collect money. We'll collect money as soon as the noodles are served."
"Can you be that busy?"
"You'll find out when you see it later."
After collecting the money, the young cashier Gu Nan counted it again before putting it into the cash box.
Before twelve o'clock, the store was full.
At 12:10, there was a queue outside the store.
The dozen or so old men and women who came from the village also gained some knowledge.
They have lived for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen that store doing such good business.
At this time, opening a store can really make money.
When the two brothers Gu Dong and Yu Jianshe came back, they wanted to help clear the table, but Yu Hui asked them to eat the noodles first before helping.
The table was full, so a few people had to stand and eat with their bowls in hand.
"Gu Dong."
"Yu Jianshe."
"Yu Lixin."
The three people's classmates also brought their parents to eat noodles, and lined up outside to wave to them.
"Gu Dong, what kind of noodles is the most delicious in your family?" Sun Xiangdong looked at Gu Dong and asked.
Gu Dong: "Beef noodles are the best."
Beef noodles are the most expensive.
Sun Xiangdong immediately looked at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, I want to eat beef noodles."
Sun Xiangdong's grandmother nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's have beef noodles."
Li Qiang, who was standing in front of Sun Xiangdong, said, holding the money in his hand, "I want beef noodles too."
Before two o'clock, the noodles were sold out, and basically everyone who came to eat noodles had eaten.
There are quite a few, and they are all people who came to eat yesterday.
The children went to school. Qian Lan, exhausted, sat on a stool against the wall and sighed, "Life is really good now. Everyone is willing to eat. Many people who came today were here yesterday. Yesterday we had shredded pork noodles, and today we have beef noodles."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Many of us in the military families' home are married couples. We have money on hand and are willing to spend it on food."
"Yes." Qian Lan said, "Not everyone is as reluctant as I am."
Yu Hui frowned slightly. "That's not true. Everyone's family situation is different."
"How much did we earn today?" Qian Lan asked.
Yu Hui looked at her and said, "Count?"
I was busy until two o'clock today and didn't have time to count the money.
Qian Lan smiled and said, "Count."
The two of them counted for more than half an hour and figured out the total number.
"One hundred and four dollars. After deducting today's costs, the net profit is sixty."
Yu Hui did some calculations in her mind. With this income, if it stabilized, it should be no problem to earn over a thousand yuan a month.
Qian Lan clapped her hands and said, "That's great."
If they sell at this quantity in the future, their daily income should be stable at 50 or 60 yuan.
Even if you take four days off a month, you will still earn the same amount of money.
Yu Hui looked at Qian Lan and said, "At the end of the month, we'll settle the accounts and divide the money."
Qian Lan nodded and said yes.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Yu Hui and her friends closed the shop and went home.
When Yu Hui and the others were closing the shop, Wen Zhaodi and the others were building the stove.
Seeing that they closed so early, Zheng Jiexiu said, "It's obvious they don't know how to run a business. Business is so good, but instead of striking while the iron is hot and stocking up on noodles, they close up shop so early and go home. They don't even sell noodles at night."
Wen Zhaodi nodded in agreement, "How could they run a business? Mom, when we open the shop the day after tomorrow, we'll make more buns and sell them morning, noon, and night."
Zheng Jiexiu said, "Just wait and see. Once our bun shop opens, their business will definitely decline."
"That's for sure, Mom, you're so good at making dumplings." Wen Zhaodi held her mother-in-law's stinky feet.
"When will the table we ordered from the carpenter be delivered?" Zheng Jie Xiu asked.
Wen Zhaodi replied: "Send it over tomorrow afternoon."
Zheng Jiexiu said dissatisfiedly, "It's all because you're so slow in doing things. Otherwise, we would have opened this bun shop a long time ago. How much money would we have lost?"
Wen Zhaodi: “…”
Old Wu had said that his mother was the breadwinner of the bun shop, and she was his assistant. But his mother didn't care about anything and always wanted her to do everything, and then she would blame her for being nagging.
Wen Zhaodi felt extremely aggrieved.
Yu Hui set the noodle shop's closing time and it is closed every Saturday.
The children have Saturdays and Sundays off, so I have to spend one day with them.
On the third day, the noodle shop was still doing a booming business. Not only people from the family compound came, but also people from nearby villages.
The villagers don’t have that many tickets, and eating meat and rice outside is not as convenient as eating commercial grain. Now they know of a noodle shop that doesn’t require tickets and the food tastes better than the state-owned restaurants, so they have to come and try it.
Many students whose parents are at work and who bring their own money and tickets to eat in the cafeteria also come to the noodle restaurant with their own money to have lunch.
As long as the children like to eat and can eat well, parents will be happy to spend a little more money.
