Chapter 147: One cent off for every three cents spent
But for Wen Zhenyi, these are not difficult tasks.
She placed the finished zucchini pancakes on a colander beside her so that they could be cut into pieces later.
Ma Yinghe made breakfast for everyone else: "Only when you're full will you have the energy to work."
Everyone took turns to eat breakfast. After breakfast, Wen Chengwen went out to find the bricklayer and the blacksmith.
Wen Zhenyi still needs to order some more frying pans, otherwise the process will still be too slow.
Seeing that there were enough egg pancakes, Ma Yinghe asked Aunt You and the others to open the shop and do business.
The diners arrived early and asked with a smile as soon as they entered the door: "Boss, what do you have for dinner today?"
"Today it's zucchini pancakes with sweet and sour tomato sauce."
"I'll have one."
Ma Yinghe said with a smile, "To thank everyone for their support, we are planning to hold a promotion for the next three days. Spend three cents and get one cent off. Spend six cents and get two cents off, and so on."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. It's just that we were in a hurry today, so we only had zucchini pancakes for breakfast. Tomorrow there will be more varieties, and everyone will have more choices then."
"Okay, okay, is tea included?"
"Yes, all the food in the store is 1 cent off when you spend 3 cents."
Everyone was very happy because this way they could eat more delicious food.
Shen Xiucai and Shen Hanxing came and started to get busy after breakfast.
Mr. Shen called several children to the backyard and taught them some characters.
Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman are helping out in the store. The store is now well-staffed, and they can turn over tables very frequently.
Zhu Tao's proficiency in using a frying pan has gradually improved.
Seeing that Zhu Tao was already busy, Wen Zhenyi took off his waistband and said, "Xiao Taozi, I'm going to the market to order some things. If my father comes back, tell them to wait for me."
Zhu Tao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and said, "Okay."
Wen Zhenyi went to the hall and said something to Ma Yinghe, then strolled to the market to buy things.
She plans to start making breakfast regularly tomorrow, changing it every two weeks to increase the freshness of the food for the diners.
The owner of the beef stall smiled when he saw her: "Miss Wen, would you like to buy some beef today?"
Wen Zhenyi looked at the beef on his stall and said, "Boss, I need beef recently."
When the boss heard this, his smile became even brighter: "I'll give you a discount. When do you want it?"
Wen Zhenyi glanced at the beef brisket on his stall. One purchase should be enough for two days. "You have to deliver it to me every other day. If you can't deliver it, you have to tell me earlier."
"No problem, do you want to finish them all?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "I'll finish them all, and you can help me deliver them to the store later."
"Okay, no problem."
Wen Zhenyi also ordered soy milk, which made the tofu stall owner very happy. You know, half a month's soy milk is a considerable income for them.
There is no way to order these vegetables. They are all grown by the people themselves, and the extra ones are sold, but there is no such thing as mass planting.
Wen Zhenyi can only come out to buy some every day. He can't order fish and shrimp either. It all depends on the weather, so he also needs to come early to buy them on the same day.
"Miss Wen, what would you like to buy today?"
The owners of the seafood stalls all smiled when they saw her, because she had helped them get a lot of fish and shrimp.
Nowadays, many people also buy fish and shrimp to satisfy their hunger, all because they have tasted the food she cooked.
Wen Zhenyi saw that the shrimps in his basin were very fresh and still alive and kicking: "Boss, please help me deliver these shrimps to the store."
"Okay, I'll take it to you in a minute."
She walked for a while and ran into the boy who sold her coconuts before: "Hey, it's been a while since you gave me any coconuts."
The young man scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "The coconut trees near our village are too tall. We can't climb up."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and asked: "Did you climb all that with your bare hands?"
The young man nodded: "Yes."
"No wonder, climbing a tree that's not too high is okay, but a tree that's too high would be very dangerous."
The young man looked at her puzzledly: "Is there any other way?"
Wen Zhenyi saw that he was selling clams today and said, "How about you send the clams to my shop and I'll draw something for you that will make it easier to climb the coconut tree, but you'll need to find a blacksmith to make it yourself."
"Okay, I'll go in a minute. Is this expensive?"
This really stumped Wen Zhenyi: "I'm not sure about that. It depends on how much iron was used!"
The boy was a little hesitant. Their family was not rich, and if it was too expensive, they might not be able to afford it.
Wen Zhenyi saw his furrowed brows and said, "How about this? The blacksmith will come to my shop later and I'll ask. If the price is high, I'll make one for you first. After you pick the coconuts, you can use the coconuts to pay off your debt. Is that okay with you?"
The boy hesitated for a moment and looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Do you always want coconuts?"
"Yes, I'll take whatever you pick."
"Okay, if I don't have enough money, you can help me out and I'll pay it back with coconuts."
"No problem." Wen Zhenyi agreed readily.
She bought all the ingredients she would need for tomorrow and headed back to the store.
The chefs that Wen Chengwen had found had all arrived and were sitting in the yard eating zucchini omelets, all of them very happily.
"I'm lucky today, otherwise it would be difficult to have breakfast at your house."
"That's right. If it weren't for your family's work, it would be difficult for me to have breakfast."
Wen Zhenyi looked at them with a smile: "Masters, you are all too busy."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I have to support my family."
"Miss Wen, what do you want us to do?"
"Don't worry, eat first and we'll talk later." Wen Zhenyi said and went to the kitchen to help Zhu Tao.
After they finished eating, she went to the backyard, found a spot in the backyard, and talked to the bricklayer about the oven.
The craftsmen looked at each other, confused and not understanding what she meant: "Miss Wen, why don't you draw it?"
Shen Xiucai looked up at them and said, "Wen girl, I'll go get Han Xing to come out. You can ask him to draw for you."
“Sorry to bother Grandpa Shen.”
"No trouble, no trouble." Shen Xiucai said and went to the hall.
Chen Hanxing came out with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and sat down at the table: "Sister Wen, go ahead and speak."
Wen Zhenyi didn't know if it would work, but he still drew the outline of the oven. Some iron pipes needed to be installed inside to place the baking tray.
You also need a door to keep the temperature as constant as possible.
