Chapter 443
This store name was thought up by Ye Fuyue, Zhong Lan and Cui Li.
The three of them thought of many names before finally settling on the simple and catchy "Xiaoyue Baozi Shop." After all, compared to those high-brow names, such a simple and direct name is easier to spread.
Another customer also looked at the flyer that Zhong Lan handed over and said with a smile: "It seems that your business is good. You have grown big and now have a store."
Zhong Lan smiled and said, "It's not about becoming big. It's just that riding a bicycle every day is too tiring. Our boss feels sorry for us, so he opened a store."
She took the opportunity to continue, "The bun shop opens this Sunday. On opening day, there's a 10% discount on buns and sweet drinks. If you have time, come and support us."
"It's only 10% off." said another customer.
Zhong Lan still had a smile on her face. "It's just a small business. People who often buy our buns know how much ingredients we use. These are all costs. A 10% discount has already given us a lot of profit."
"The variety of buns and sweet drinks has increased a lot," said another customer.
"Yes." Zhong Lan said, "If everyone is free that day, come and try it."
"Okay, we'll definitely go and have a look when we have time." said the first customer.
Regardless of whether the other party was speaking sincerely or just for show, Zhong Lan was sincerely grateful to him.
Cui Li's situation is similar. She will give flyers to every customer who comes to buy buns or peanut butter, and will specifically emphasize the 10% off promotion on the opening day.
But within two or three days, Zhong Lan and Cui Li had spread the news of Xiaoyue's bun shop's opening to several streets.
Two days before Xiaoyue's bun shop opened, Ye Fuyue stopped letting Zhong Lan and Cui Li go out to sell buns. She asked them to pack up their things and move in with Yao Zao'er, Lai Bao, Huan Di, and Xiao Bai.
There are three rooms behind the shop. Ye Fuyue left the two larger ones to Zhong Lan and Cui Li, and converted the smaller one into a kitchen.
"You can live here from now on. It will be convenient for you to do business and you don't have to get up early and run around every day." Ye Fuyue said.
"Okay." Zhong Lan and Cui Li had no objection to this.
Although the rooms here are smaller than those in the small western-style building and the decoration is much simpler, neither the small western-style building nor this place is their own house. In their eyes, they are all the same, as long as it is convenient for them to take care of their children and make money.
Yao Zaoer, Laibao and Huandi did not dislike this place. To them, as long as they were with their mother, it didn't matter where they lived.
Cui Li took the initiative and said, "We will still pay your rent as before."
Ye Fuyue nodded: "Okay, then it's the same as before, five dollars per person per month."
"Okay." Zhong Lan and Cui Li still had no objection.
Although the house here is not as good as the small Western-style building, the rents outside are rising, but Ye Fuyue still only charges five yuan in rent, which is already very good to them.
"Let's focus on preparing for the opening of the bun shop in the next two days. I still have classes at school, and the time I can spend here every day is limited. The preparations for the opening of the bun shop mainly depend on you two." Ye Fuyue said.
"Just leave it to us." Zhong Lan said.
Ye Fuyue smiled and nodded.
Regarding the profit distribution of the bun shop, it was the same as before: Ye Fuyue took 40%, Zhong Lan and Cui Li each took 30%. Ye Fuyue had discussed this with Zhong Lan and Cui Li in advance before moving forward with the opening of the bun shop.
It was the day when Xiaoyue Baozi Shop opened.
Ye Fuyue not only bought a long string of firecrackers to set off in front of the shop, but also invited a lion dance team to perform in front of the door.
This lively scene attracted many passers-by to stop and surround the shop in three layers.
After watching the lion dance, many passers-by stayed to try the buns and sweet soup.
"Give me a meat bun, a shepherd's purse bun, and a bowl of peanut butter."
"I want two vermicelli buns and a bowl of tofu pudding."
"I want one with pickled mustard greens and a bowl of fermented rice wine and eggs."
“…”
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were busy, one selling buns and the other serving sweet water.
The shop had six tables where customers could buy sweet drinks and buns and sit down to eat. But because so many people came today, the shop was completely full, leaving no room. Many people had to sit on the sidewalk to eat their buns and sweet drinks.
There were not enough seats in the shop, and Ye Fuyue didn't have time to wash the dishes, otherwise the customers who bought sweet water would have no bowls to eat.
Seeing Ye Fuyue was so busy washing the dishes, Shen Yao felt so distressed that he started washing the dishes with her. Chen Guifeng helped to clear the table, wipe the table, and greet the guests.
A customer who came to buy buns took a look and saw a tall and handsome man and a woman washing dishes in the shop. He was very surprised.
"Is that male comrade the laborer you hired?" An old lady asked Zhong Lan while buying buns.
"No, he is our boss's man." Zhong Lan said.
The old lady was even more surprised: "It's rare to find a man willing to cook these days. Your boss's man is really good."
"Yeah," Zhong Lan said with a smile, "our boss is even better."
"Could the girl next to that man be your boss?" said the old lady.
"Yes, she is our boss." Zhong Lan said.
"He looks quite young, but he can open such a bun shop. It's really amazing." The old lady exclaimed.
"Our boss is really amazing." Zhong Lan agreed sincerely.
When they saw the old customers who used to buy their buns and peanut cheese, Zhong Lan, Cui Li and the old customers all smiled.
The old customer who came this time was someone Cui Li knew, and Cui Li always called her Aunt Su.
Aunt Su said to Cui Li with a smile, "You even asked us to come and support you. Your business is so prosperous, why do you need our support?"
"No matter how good the business is, we still hope that old customers like you, Aunt Su, will come and support us. Without old customers like you, our bun shop would not be able to survive," said Cui Li.
Although she knew that Cui Li's words were just polite talk, Aunt Su still felt happy listening to them.
"What do you want to eat this time?" Cui Li asked.
Aunt Su looked at the paper on the wall that listed the types of buns and sweet soups, along with their prices, and said, "Two of each: vermicelli buns, tofu buns, meat buns, pork and cabbage buns, and preserved mustard greens buns. Also, two each of white fungus soup, fermented rice wine and egg, and tofu pudding. Just like before, I'll take everything to go."
"Okay." Cui Li responded with a smile, and she and Zhong Lan skillfully packed the buns and poured the sweet water.
Aunt Su brought her own lunch box, and Cui Li packed the sweet water that Aunt Su wanted into different lunch boxes.
Cui Li didn't have much time to chat with Aunt Su, as she and Zhong Lan immediately went to serve the next customer.
