Driven by this group, more than 500 servings of beef stew with potatoes were sold out by just past noon.
Business is booming.
"I'm so sorry, everyone, we're all sold out. You'll have to wait until the afternoon." Seeing that the pot of food was almost empty, Lu Rong hurriedly said to the students still in line behind him.
"No way, that fast?" came a male student's voice from the crowd.
"I should have known, today is Saturday. If I had known, I wouldn't have slept in."
"I'm so upset. They're all enjoying their food so much, but I can't even get a bite."
"Boss, please cook more! I can smell it but can't taste it, it's so frustrating."
"I have no choice but to go to the cafeteria now. The food there is like shit compared to what I eat here, it's hard to swallow."
Everyone chimed in with their own comments.
They poured out their inner resentment.
Unfortunately, the process of making stewed beef with potatoes takes about an hour.
Even if it were actually completed, it would already be 1:30 PM.
It's not very meaningful.
A serving of stewed beef with potatoes costs 30 yuan, and we sold more than 500 servings in one lunch, earning more than 15,000 yuan.
We've already recouped our costs. If we can sell another 500 or so tonight, our profit for today will double.
It's much better than fried rice with eggs.
Not only did we have less time to prepare, but we also earned more.
A win-win situation.
Moreover, the students' meals are nutritious.
For the next week, Lu Rong mainly cooked stewed beef with potatoes, occasionally frying some egg fried rice to give some students a change of pace.
As more and more students came to know about the area, the store's business improved significantly.
They can sell more than a thousand servings every day.
The profit is close to 20,000 yuan.
Kyoto University currently has over 10,000 students, and selling 1,000 copies a day means that a large portion of them have already chosen to come here.
Instead of going to the school cafeteria.
This is already a terrifying number.
Keep in mind that he's just a boxed lunch vendor, not comparable to those big restaurants like cafeterias.
The key issue is that they sell out very early every day, leaving many students who arrive later unable to buy any.
There's nothing he can do; his personal capacity is limited, and producing more than a thousand orders a day is already quite an achievement.
It's first-come, first-served.
For this reason, many students started a group chat for meals, which was to help classmates who couldn't make it to the meal each day.
Some even became scalpers, reselling them for over 100 yuan a serving.
The key point is that many people are willing to buy it.
It seems there are still many wealthy people in universities these days, which really surprised him.
On the school forum, there were also many posts about tasting Lu Rong's dishes.
The comments below are all unanimously positive.
They were all saying how delicious it was.
Of course, there were also a few negative reviews, all because people couldn't get their hands on them.
........
In the classroom.
It's lunchtime again.
Many people couldn't hold back any longer.
"Students, there are still more than 20 minutes before school ends. Please study on your own for a while. I have to go out for a bit. When it's time, you can leave on your own."
Tang Dahai, as a counselor, also has classes to teach, though far fewer than the average teacher.
He's been so busy these past few days that he's missed Lu Rong's stewed beef with potatoes several times, which has made him furious.
He's not the main problem; the real issue is that Principal Zhang Weiguo is asking him to buy things for him every day.
It's clear that Zhang Weiguo now prefers stewed beef with potatoes to fried rice with eggs.
He treats his principal's office like a cafeteria every day.
Sometimes, because I arrived late and couldn't buy a boxed lunch, he would scold me.
If you can't even handle this trivial matter, what else can you do?
So during the last class before school ended today, he started to have some ulterior motives.
He lets the students study in the classroom while he goes to buy boxed lunches 20 minutes early.
Because Kyoto University has a lot of classes, with students' schedules basically full every day, there are very few students without classes.
If you buy it in advance, the chances of success are still quite high.
After settling the students in, he hurriedly left the classroom.
"Luckily I'm smart and came up with this idea, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to buy any today."
When he got downstairs to the classroom building, he saw that many classes were still in session, and he felt smug.
Give yourself a thumbs up for your intelligence.
He quietly went to the lawn parking shed outside the classroom, got on his electric scooter, and rushed towards Lu Rong's shop.
The school is very large, and the classrooms are more than a kilometer away from Lu Rong's shop.
Of course, riding a small electric scooter only takes a few minutes, which isn't actually very long.
Most students at the school ride bicycles, while only a small number drive cars or electric scooters.
Therefore, he still has a slight advantage compared to most of his competitors.
However, what he didn't know was...
In the classroom.
Seeing Tang Dahai walk out, some students in the class couldn't contain themselves any longer.
"Class, since the teacher has said that, he probably won't be coming back. How about we go buy some boxed lunches?"
One male student, who had been queuing for several days without being late, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Yes, yes, if school ends on time, you might not be able to buy them."
"No, I haven't been able to eat it for four days in a row. I'm so angry."
"How about we select a few classmates to buy them and bring them back for you?"
