"Go away! Everyone else is queuing up obediently. How dare you, Xu Damao, be more arrogant than them?"
Sha Zhu pushed Xu Damao's lunch box back in a bad mood, then shouted to the group, "Today is a trial sale, each person can only buy one pancake."
Xu Damao wasn't angry either. He pointed at the line and said, "Look at how long this line is. If I queue up now, I'm sure I won't be able to get a meal."
"This is a trial sale at noon, so we don't have much prepared. If you really can't get a spot, come back and buy some after get off work." Sha Zhu explained to Xu Damao while pouring hot water for the employees, "If the results are good, the cafeteria will sell instant noodles every day after get off work."
"Okay, I get it. Just give me one!" Xu Damao was so stubborn that he refused to leave. He was completely fascinated by the aroma and the price.
It’s only one cent per serving, and if you can’t eat it, you’re at a loss!
But Sha Zhu was still very principled. Xu Damao waited for him at the window for more than ten minutes but still failed to get any instant noodles.
"Okay, okay, the people behind you don't need to queue anymore. The instant noodles for lunch are sold out."
Sha Zhu knocked on the hot water bucket with his rice spoon: "If you want to eat, you can wait until after get off work. It's still ten cents a portion."
When these words were spoken, the employees who were still queuing were stunned.
"No, we only sold a few, how come they are gone?"
"That's right, take out the afternoon ones as well. We all go home for dinner after work."
"Master He, please consider this a favor. This instant noodle is so delicious, it's making me drool."
"Yeah, yeah, the cafeteria smells like instant noodles now, and I don't even want to eat steamed buns anymore."
"Big steamed buns are not as delicious as this stuff!"
The employees gathered around the window to complain, but Sha Zhu didn't tolerate them. What they said was over and no matter how much they said, it was useless. After he finished speaking, he simply closed the window.
"Well, come back after work. I just saw this instant noodles that doesn't need to be cooked. You can just soak it in hot water and eat it. We can buy some and try it at home."
"Hey, that's a good idea. My daughter has been pestering me to buy snacks lately, but our factory still has four days of salary payments. This instant noodles is good, cheap and delicious. My daughter will definitely like it."
“I just don’t know if I can grab it tonight.”
"Hey, we can come earlier and sneak out of the workshop quietly, as long as we don't get caught by the director."
"Okay, then let's sneak away together. If we get caught by the director, we'll just say we went to the toilet."
"Go away, isn't that disgusting!"
Watching the crowd gradually disperse, Xu Damao also left cursing.
Sha Zhu went to Chen Jun to report the situation of instant noodles.
"Director Chen, you don't know how many people were queuing. Xu Damao tried to cut in line, but I pushed him aside."
"However, there's one thing I don't understand. Instant noodles are good, but the profit margin is too low, and...it takes up quite a bit of time."
What Sha Zhu meant was that the cafeteria already had bread, and this item made the people in the kitchen extremely busy. If they took up too much time to make flatbreads, it would directly affect the bread.
Chen Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry. I've already discussed this with the factory manager. We'll have the workshop develop a machine to produce flatbreads. If we start selling them retail later, we'll directly partner with the food factory. This won't affect our bread business."
"As for profit, I've made it very clear. Providing instant noodles to the canteen isn't about making money, it's about solving the problem of employees working overtime hungry."
If Director Yang wasn't worried that someone would deliberately use overtime as an excuse to go to the cafeteria to get noodles, Chen Jun guessed that he would directly provide a free meal of instant noodles to the employees who worked overtime.
It only costs ten cents per person, which is not a big expense and can also boost the efficiency of the factory.
"With machines, there's no problem." Sha Zhu grinned and thought of the noodle mixers in the cafeteria. They were great things that saved them a lot of time and effort.
"Well, can our people in the kitchen buy noodles? Many people want their families to taste the flavor of instant noodles." Sha Zhu added.
"Of course you can. There is no purchase limit for internal staff, but I suggest you don't buy too much at one time. We don't have packaging bags yet, and if you buy too much, it will easily get damp." Chen Jun replied.
"Okay!"
After saying that, Sha Zhu went back to the kitchen to work.
On the other side, the second uncle Liu Haizhong quietly went to the back kitchen and grabbed Yan Jiecheng who was busy at the door.
"Jie Cheng, come here, the Second Master wants to see you for something."
Liu Haizhong didn't care whether Yan Jiecheng agreed or not, he just pulled him aside, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Jiecheng, Second Uncle needs your help."
Yan Jiecheng glanced at Liu Haizhong warily: "Second Uncle, what's going on? You're being so mysterious. I just arrived at the cafeteria, so I can't help you with anything serious."
"It's a small matter. I just didn't get any instant noodles at noon. You can leave two for me first. I'll come to get them after work." After saying that, Liu Haizhong took out two cents from his pocket and stuffed it into Yan Jiecheng's hand.
"Do it yourself, don't forget."
Then, without waiting for Yan Jiecheng's consent, Liu Haizhong turned and left, as if he was afraid that Yan Jiecheng would refuse.
Harmful!
It turned out to be buying two instant noodles, no big deal!
Yan Jiecheng put two cents into his pocket and was about to go to the kitchen to continue working when he looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai coming towards him.
"Jie Cheng, I have something to ask you..."
Two minutes later, Yan Jiecheng put the three cents that Yi Zhonghai had stuffed into his pocket.
"Yi Zhonghai must be rich. He gave me 30 cents for a 20-cent instant noodle. Wow, he made a straight profit of 10 cents."
Yan Jiecheng patted his trouser pockets happily and went to work happily. He never expected that he could get some small benefits just after arriving at the cafeteria for a short time.
Sure enough, the cafeteria is a good place, much better than the locksmith workshop.
At the same time, the fitter workshop.
Qin Huairu, who had just returned from home, heard her fellow workers in the workshop talking about something.
After listening carefully, it seems that there is something good in the cafeteria. It smells delicious, but it is not easy to grab.
After just listening for a while, Qin Huairu lost interest.
Now not only Jia Dongxu had to eat two meals a day, but she also started to eat two meals a day. There was no other way, the family would soon run out of food, and they had to tighten their belts and wait until the salary was cut off.
So no matter what new food comes out in the cafeteria, no matter how delicious it is, Qin Huairu will not think about it.
Because the Jia family can’t afford it!
She might not know other things, but she knew something about the bread sold in the canteen. The first characteristic was that it was delicious, very delicious. Every time after get off work, many people from inside and outside the factory would go to the canteen to line up to buy bread. The second characteristic was that it was expensive. The price of bread was much more expensive than white flour steamed buns. Qin Huairu could occasionally get a bite when she was in the canteen before, but after leaving the canteen, she never thought about bread again.
This new thing smells so good, but I’m afraid it’s more expensive than bread, right?
