Chapter 223 Taking Advantage of One's Position
The cute and soft Beibei made Xu Daqiang and others want to get married and have a daughter.
"Wu Hai, let me hug you." Xu Daqiang stretched out his hands, clapped them, and then opened them.
Beibei turned her little face and slapped him on the back of the head.
Wu Hai tilted his head, with an expression that said, "It's not that I don't want you to hold me, but Beibei doesn't want you to hold me." There was also a hint of pride in his expression.
Xu Daqiang: “…”
Qin Feng laughed at him, "Xu Daqiang, you look too fierce, so I won't let you hold you."
"Come here, Beibei, let your uncle hold you." Qin Feng had a gentle smile on his face and clapped his hands at Beibei in a low voice.
Beibei still patted him on the back of his head and hugged Wu Hai's neck tightly.
"Ahahaha..." Xu Daqiang laughed loudly, "I look too fierce, and you are too ugly."
Qin Feng glared at Xu Daqiang fiercely, with an expression that said, "You are the one who is ugly, your whole family is ugly."
Wu Hai looked even more proud as he held Beibei in his arms.
Since they still had to wait, Wu Hai helped Gu Dong and the others peel garlic while chatting.
Just like Wu Hai said, today is a day off, so they are definitely not the only ones coming to eat noodles.
Not long after, other warriors came together.
Seeing so many people lined up, most of them from the special forces, he was dumbfounded.
"W-Why are you here so early?"
They thought they had arrived early enough, but they didn't expect there were people who arrived even earlier.
The special forces member said with a grin, "Don't you know our sister-in-law's noodle shop is doing good business? If you come too late, you might miss out on food. You have to come early."
When speaking, he even emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "our sister-in-law" and acted a bit cocky.
“…”
Seeing the special forces members showing off, the other soldiers all felt like doing something.
Wen Zhaodi watched with gritted teeth as the long line almost reached her own bun shop, her eyes bloodshot with jealousy.
I thought that if so many soldiers came to Xingfu Noodle House to eat noodles, it must be that Gu Huai took advantage of his position to get people from his regiment to come.
He is the deputy regiment commander. How can the people in his regiment not listen to him?
At eleven twenty, everything was ready.
Yu Hui started to cook noodles. She used about three taels of rice for each bowl of noodles and also added more meat than usual.
People sitting in the store naturally eat the food on top first, and they eat it without saying a word.
"Xu Daqiang, how does it taste?"
The people who were still queuing outside stretched their necks and asked Xu Daqiang who was sitting in the store.
The latter was so busy eating noodles that he had no time to pay attention to them.
Instead, it made those who were still waiting outside even more greedy.
After Wu Hai and his friends finished their noodles, they looked at their brothers who were still waiting outside and resisted the urge to eat another bowl.
After paying the money, he said goodbye to Yu Hui, Qian Lan and the children and left.
As soon as they left, Yu Jianshe and the others quickly collected the dishes, wiped the table, and then washed the dishes.
Then another group of people came into the store.
At half past eleven, Yu Hui glanced at the line outside, estimated the number of noodles, and shouted to the people who had just joined the queue: "Don't queue up if you're late, there's not enough noodles."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of wailing.
"ah……"
"Is there no more plain noodles?"
Yu Hui shook her head. "No more. Come back next time."
"You'll have to be more prepared next time."
"Yeah, otherwise we still won't be able to eat next time we come."
After all, on weekends, many people come out of the military camp to eat noodles.
Yu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Next time I'll definitely prepare more. As long as it's the weekend, I'll sell it at noon and in the evening."
These soldiers had waited so long to have their day off to eat noodles, and she didn't want them to go empty-handed again.
After thinking about it carefully, I decided to work hard to sell two meals on Sunday.
With Yu Hui's words, I could have had some hope even though I couldn't have dinner with anyone today. However, I still returned home disappointed.
Some officers living in the military family compound also wanted to take advantage of today's rest to try the noodles that were praised so highly by their own family members.
Before I even got close, I saw a long queue outside.
Wu Jianguo rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "It's only a few o'clock, why are there so many people here?"
Wu Chao pouted and complained, "I told you to come earlier, Dad, but you said there's no rush, no rush."
With so many people queuing, they definitely won’t be able to eat today.
Wu Jianguo touched his nose embarrassedly. He didn't expect that there would be so many people on a weekend.
I also thought that since it’s a weekend, everyone has time to cook at home, so there should be fewer people coming to eat noodles at noon.
But I didn’t expect that today was the army’s day off, and so many soldiers would come to eat noodles.
"Deputy Political Commissar Wu." Seeing Wu Jianguo, many soldiers greeted him.
Wu Jianguo smiled and nodded. "Come and have some noodles?"
"Deputy Political Commissar Wu, are you here for noodles too? You're too late to get a seat."
"Deputy Political Commissar Wu, please go back quickly and come earlier next time."
Wu Jianguo: “…”
Why did he feel that these brats were gloating amidst their pride?
"Dad, it's all your fault." Wu Chao pouted even higher when he was sure he couldn't eat anymore.
Wu Jianguo patted his son's head and said, "You little rascal, you've come here to eat several times, but I've never been here once. If you can't eat today, why don't you come tomorrow? Why don't you blame your father?"
Wu Chao touched the back of his head and hummed. Aunt Yu’s noodles are so delicious that it would never be enough to eat them a few times.
Those who came later realized that they could not eat it anymore and went home disappointed.
Yu Hui and Qian Lan kept adding seasonings, and in the end, it was almost as Yu Hui expected, and everyone in the queue was able to eat the noodles.
The two of them worked until half past one. They were exhausted and sat on the stool against the wall. They didn't want to move anymore.
The children were quite energetic, sweeping the floor, wiping the table and washing dishes, and were busy having fun.
Yu Hui looked at the busy children and said weakly, "I think if we sell all day next weekend, we'll have to find someone to help."
The two of them and these children would definitely be too busy to handle everything, and she didn't want the children to do too much work.
"But, we can't hire anyone?" Qian Lan said with a frown.
"There are already a lot of people jealous of our business. If we hire someone, wouldn't that just give them a chance to catch us in the act?"
Wouldn't we make a big fuss about it then?
"Yeah..." Yu Hui sighed. It was really a hassle not being able to hire anyone.
Qian Lan was silent for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She looked at Yu Hui and said, "How about letting my mother come up and help?"
If your family members come to help, it is not considered as hiring.
And with her mother here, with one more person, they can make more and sell two meals a day, lunch and dinner.
Xiao Yu has to take care of the children, so she prepares the ingredients in the morning, cooks them, and then goes home at noon. In the evening, she and her mother can do it.
Yu Hui: “…”
Qian Lan thought her suggestion was a great one. Seeing Yu Hui remained silent, she continued, "My mother is very hardworking and makes excellent noodles. You don't need to pay her much, just ten yuan a month will be enough."
Earning ten yuan a month is considered a good job in the countryside. Her mother, an illiterate rural woman, must be happy about it.
