118. I really didn’t consider it enough
Thinking that it was Liu Chunxia's first day trying to sell lunch, Jiang Shiyue didn't even cook for Gu Yan'an. She just left him a box of self-heating rice and a box of self-heating hot pot and set off for town.
However, she did not go directly, but went to Lin Xiangmin's store.
"Uncle Lin, my friend is now selling lunch. I'd like to invite you over for lunch."
Lin Xiangmin was busy mending clothes, and when he heard Jiang Shiyue's words, he became interested.
Because Jiang Shiyue had told him before that they sold breakfast and even brought him some steamed buns, so he had never gone to see it.
Now with the addition of lunch, he was really curious about how they managed to get by.
Although he was curious, he hadn't finished the work at hand. "Then I'll go after I finish mending these clothes. It's still early now anyway."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyue just said, "Okay." Then she sat on a stool nearby waiting for Lin Xiangmin to finish his work.
By the time Lin Xiangmin finished his work, it was almost time for lunch.
After closing the door, the two of them set off for the breakfast shop.
Before I even entered the door, I saw a queue of people at the door, and many of them were workers wearing chemical factory work clothes.
Jiang Shiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She had thought before that when she started selling lunch, there would be workers from the chemical factory coming to buy lunch, but she didn't expect there would be so many.
Even Lin Xiangmin couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it seems that the business here is pretty good."
After sighing, he nodded again, "But that's true, the steamed buns are quite delicious, I think lunch should not be bad either."
Jiang Shiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You haven't even started eating yet, but you already know that lunch is pretty good."
The man in front of them probably heard the conversation between the two and turned around and said, "One of my co-workers came over to eat and said it tasted good and you can eat as much as you want."
Lin Xiangmin was a little surprised, "Unlimited food?"
The man explained: "As long as you can eat it, you can eat as much as you want."
Lin Xiangmin blinked and asked, "Won't that be a loss?"
Jiang Shiyue shrugged upon hearing this, "Whether it will be a loss or not, only the boss knows."
But as the boss himself, Jiang Shiyue can clearly see that after all, a thousand servings of food only cost a few yuan, and he can make three yuan by selling any one serving. Judging from the current queue size, you can earn at least dozens of yuan in one afternoon, not to mention a lot.
But she couldn't say this to anyone, otherwise she was afraid she would be beaten to death.
Lunch can be taken away or eaten in the store, so the waiting time is not too long.
In order to prevent Liu Chunxia from having to come and serve everyone, Jiang Shiyue posted a price list next to the dining car yesterday.
Lin Xiangmin took one look and said, "One meat and one vegetable is three yuan, two meats and one vegetable is five yuan, three meats and two vegetables is eight yuan. This price is quite cheap compared to the prices in state-owned restaurants."
Jiang Shiyue smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true?"
Then he took out sixteen pieces from his pocket and handed them to Liu Chunxia, "Let's eat here."
It’s a good thing that the entire layout of the store was changed before, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough space for many people to sit.
Liu Chunxia took the money and then brought over two plates.
Seeing Jiang Shiyue gave the money, Lin Xiangmin couldn't help but say, "You said your child, why don't we just eat one meat and one vegetable? Why eat the most expensive food?"
Jiang Shiyue grinned, "Since I'm treating you, I'll definitely eat the best! Otherwise, you'll think I'm an ungrateful person!"
Without waiting for Lin Xiangmin to speak, Jiang Shiyue quickly put rice and vegetables into the plate, then found a seat and sat down, waiting for Lin Xiangmin to come over.
“Although the price is indeed quite cheap compared to state-owned restaurants, it is still a bit expensive if you eat here every day.”
"That is to say, this price is fine if you come here once or twice occasionally. If you come here every day, the price will have to be cheaper."
"But I have to say, for this taste, it's really worth it."
Several workers were talking to each other, which made Jiang Shiyue wonder whether he should pay the workers a worker's price.
After all, the chemical factory doesn’t provide food. Even if you eat the cheapest food, it will cost 90 yuan a month.
The key point is that a month's salary may only be around 20 or 30 yuan, which is really difficult.
When Lin Xiangmin came over with the meal tray, he saw Jiang Shiyue was in a daze and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
I couldn't help but wave my hand, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shiyue came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."
After all, this kind of worry definitely cannot be told to Lin Xiangmin, and I can only digest it myself.
But at the same time, I also made up my mind to adjust the price when the time comes.
At first she set the price based on that of state-owned restaurants, but after hearing the workers' conversation, it seemed that she had indeed not considered enough.
After all, this is a town, and the purchasing power is not high. If the price is too high, it will indeed affect business.
Because there were people waiting in line behind them, the two did not delay too much.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Shiyue ordered two more meals, "Uncle Lin, I'll go to the store first."
Lin Xiangmin hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't I go with you? It's been so long and I haven't been there yet."
Jiang Shiyue raised his chin and said, "Then let's go."
The two of them came to the store together. Now there were only Yuan Xia and another employee, Qian Limei, in the store.
Jiang Shiyue shook the bag in her hand, "Aunt Yuan, Sister Mei, come and eat!"
When Yuan Xia heard Jiang Shiyue's words, she immediately turned her head and looked over.
When he saw Lin Xiangmin next to Jiang Shiyue, he asked in surprise: "Why did you decide to come here today?"
Lin Xiangmin explained: "It just so happened that I went out to eat with Xiaoyue today, so I thought of coming over to take a look."
Yuan Xia then looked down at the bag in Jiang Shiyue's hand and asked tentatively, "Is this what you guys packed up for the leftovers?"
Lin Xiangmin glared at Yuan Xia unhappily, "In your mind, are we like this?"
Before Yuan Xia could say anything, Lin Xiangmin said, "The breakfast shop over at the chemical plant is now selling lunch. We bought another portion for you after we finished eating."
Yuan Xia smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Yue, don't mind it, I don't mean anything else."
Jiang Shiyue shook her head, "It's okay, I don't take it to heart."
After saying that, he handed the bag to Yuan Xia and said, "You and Sister Mei should go eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold later."
When Yuan Xia and Qian Limei went to the lounge to eat, Lin Xiangmin began to look around the store.
Although I had heard Yuan Xia talk about it before, hearing about it is different from seeing it with my own eyes.
It was much bigger than he had imagined, and there were more styles of clothes. No wonder he spent so much money at the time.
