Chapter 217 Malatang is popular
Malatang is popular.
This was all within Lu Xiang's expectations. After all, Malatang was also very popular in later generations.
But Lu Xiang didn't expect that at noon the next day, the queue for Malatang would be more than ten meters long.
Lu Xiang hired three aunts, thinking it was more than enough, but when it got really busy, the three aunts were a little flustered.
Constantly adding vegetables, washing vegetables and washing dishes.
By noon, most of the people working at the steel mill had come out. Those who had eaten there yesterday said it was delicious, and those who hadn't eaten there wanted to try it. Now, they were all crowded here.
Someone also recognized Lu Xiang and said, "Isn't this the one who sold pork offal before? Everything she cooks is delicious!"
The people around looked around and saw that they were all familiar faces, even the team leader and the small leaders were there. No wonder there were so many people.
The people in the steel plant are very arrogant. If they saw so many people on a normal day, they wouldn't line up.
But now that there are more people, the more reluctant they are to leave. We all know that those who come late will not get any food. We have finally managed to get a good seat, so it would be a loss if we leave.
"Not many people are going to the company cafeteria to eat today, right?" someone said with emotion, and saw that there was still a queue behind him, which seemed to have no end in sight.
The people in front and behind laughed and said, "We've had enough of eating in the cafeteria every day. We want to change things up!"
"I heard that my colleague bought one yesterday and took it home. He only took two bites when the kids snatched it all up and kept clamoring for more. He even planned to pack two more for dinner!"
They smelled the smell from behind, stretched their necks, and felt that the team was moving forward too slowly.
Lu Xiang said to the people behind her, "Don't queue anymore, there really isn't enough to sell." She prepared 300 bowls, intending to sell them all in one day, but now she saw that she was afraid that they wouldn't be enough to sell even at noon.
The people behind seemed not to understand and just stood in line, insisting on having a taste no matter what.
Otherwise, if he didn’t get to eat it, his colleagues would be covered in the smell of spicy hot pot when they got home, and he couldn’t stand it.
Lu Xiang had no choice but to say: "I will prepare more tomorrow!" After much persuasion, she persuaded the people queuing behind her to leave.
But in front, there was another person who bought several bowls.
When Lu Xiang saw this, she quickly asked her aunt to make a bundle of cold noodles and a bundle of corn cuttings.
Xiao Xi Nian could still sit at the table and watch everyone eat yesterday, but today he couldn't even stand at the table.
Being held in Lu Xiang's arms, the little guy hugged Lu Xiang's neck obediently, and used his little hands to wipe the sweat off Lu Xiang from time to time.
Lu Xiang was touched by her son and gently kissed the little guy's ear. The little guy happily jumped into her arms.
Lu Xiang started ordering food. Fortunately, she had already cooked all of it, and the food was delivered promptly. After it arrived, several aunties rushed to process it, some cutting it, others cleaning it.
I was busy for two hours at noon, just like fighting a war, without a moment's rest.
Lu Xiang finally had time to sit down when everyone else was at work in the afternoon. She didn't even have the energy to count the money. Her back and waist ached from sitting there, and it wasn't just her. Several other aunts were also exhausted.
The kitchen is a mess.
I squeezed a whole bucket of chili oil before, but now there is nothing left.
The aunts had never seen anything like this before. Lu Xiang said, "Hurry up and clean up, we have a tough battle to fight tonight!" Many people said they would come over for dinner in the evening.
There is no time limit at night like at noon. People have nothing to do at night, so it’s okay to wait a while. It is estimated that there will be more people.
When the three aunts heard this, they immediately got busy, washing the piles of dishes, mopping the floor, sweeping the floor, and preparing the vegetables.
Put plenty of washed vegetables under the table so that you can replenish them at any time.
Lu Xiang started frying chili oil. Luckily, she usually bought 100 kilograms of spices at a time. If she continued to sell like this, she would be able to finish the 100 kilograms in less than a week.
Lu Xiang finally had some free time and started counting the money. She tied up a hundred yuan bill with a rubber band and made three hundred and fifty yuan at noon. This number made Lu Xiang gasp in shock. This was a lot of money.
People in the county have never eaten Malatang. It is affordable, has both vegetables and noodles, and is better than eating in the cafeteria every day.
In fact, the food in their cafeteria is quite delicious, and the chefs are specially hired. But if you eat it every day, no matter how delicious the food is, it will seem tasteless.
Now that there is sudden stimulation from outside, everyone is succumbing to the charm of Malatang.
Lu Xiang realized that this wasn't going to work. It might be okay for one or two days, but if it lasted any longer, they wouldn't be busy enough.
I immediately told these women, "Do you have anyone I trust? I'd like to hire two more. I'd also like to hire the same salary. I'm afraid I'll be too busy!"
They all have families, and it’s hard to find a job at their age, but they are short of money.
If she could find someone a job, they would be very grateful. Aunt Cai immediately said, "I have someone suitable who works well and is both respectable and clean. If you find anyone who is not good, just come and find me!"
Another aunt also recommended her older sisters.
Lu Xiang said, "Okay, bring the person here now. If it works, I'll let him start work today. I'll pay him a day's salary."
Where can you find such a good thing? The two aunts immediately went out to look for someone.
Only Lu Xiang and one of the aunties were left in the shop. The auntie was cleaning. Lu Xiang said to her son, "Xinian, why don't you go to the nursery? There are a lot of other children to play with."
The children here all have kindergartens to go to, which is very convenient. The factory is full of dual-income families, and the children can be taken care of in the nurseries.
Lu Xiang was reluctant to let her son go before because she thought he was too young, but now she is so busy that she really can’t take care of the child!
Occasionally, when she saw Xiao Xi Nian eagerly waiting for her, she felt really distressed when she thought about it.
Xiao Xi Nian said, "Okay."
He really likes playing with those kids.
Xiao Xi Nian was the youngest in the village. When he heard that he was going to a nursery and that there would be children younger than him, he immediately became happy: "Then I will be a big brother."
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Of course you are the big brother," and immediately called Liu Pang to ask for help.
When Fatty Liu heard this, he quickly said, "Okay, there's a nursery right at the steel plant. I'll help you set it up. It's close to you, and you can pick up your child after get off work."
Moreover, the teacher education in the steel plant is the strongest.
I heard that the teachers who coax children are all high school graduates, and ordinary people can't get in.
And they also provide two meals and a carton of milk, which are what good schools can provide.
When Lu Xiang heard this, she quickly said, "Okay." She took the child to complete the admission procedures. That's it for today, and the child will officially go to school tomorrow.
When Xiaosha saw the simple slide in the nursery, his eyes sparkled and he wanted to play on it.
Lu Xiang said, "You can play after you go to school tomorrow!" Xiao Xinian immediately said, "I want to go to school."
