He Wenlin noticed that her parents were very angry. She opened her mouth to speak, but then she heard He Jian excitedly shout, "Sister Lin, Sister Lin, hurry up, it's time to receive the guests!"
He Wenlin turned to the side and saw, wow, a huge, swarming crowd.
There are quite a few unfamiliar faces; He Jian has brought in new customers.
Good job, little guy!
A reward is definitely warranted!
He Jian boasted, "Sister Lin, they all came to buy boxed lunches."
He Wenlin immediately said, "Thank you all for coming. I only have fried noodles here right now. I've already taken the boxed lunches out to sell, but the fried noodles taste pretty good too. I added bean sprouts and eggs to make them. It's only 1.5 yuan a serving, and there are only 20 servings available. First come, first served."
"Boss He, did you reserve the fried noodles we ordered?" The speaker was Qin Li, a fellow Jiangxi native who had ordered fried noodles from He Wenlin.
"Sister, don't worry, all the orders you placed have been reserved and are over there. Wenjun, hurry up and ship them to your brothers and sisters."
Those who had pre-ordered boxed lunches and fried noodles all opted for He Wenjun's.
"Qin Li, is the fried rice noodles delicious?" a new customer asked.
"It's delicious, and cheaper than a boxed lunch. The portion is also quite generous. Look!" Qin Li opened the box on the spot.
The color, the enticing aroma...
"I want a box!" the new customer said immediately.
"Then I'll take one box."
...
People like to follow trends.
If someone buys it, others will immediately follow suit.
In just one short time, He Wenlin sold ten boxes.
She only prepared twenty boxes this afternoon.
He Wenlin quickly sent He Jian to deliver the remaining ten boxes to He Qian and He Shan to sell.
If we don't go now, we'll miss the best time to sell.
Taking advantage of the large crowd, He Wenlin announced loudly, "Our family's fast food restaurant will be located here in the future. If any of you brothers, sisters, uncles, or aunts want to eat, you can prepay to reserve. Fried noodles and fried eggs are 1.5 yuan a serving, and fast food with rice is 3 yuan a serving. If you don't want rice, it's 2.8 yuan a serving. If you prepay, you don't have to brave the scorching sun to queue at the intersection. You can just come here to pick up your food. I will also buy some tables and chairs tomorrow so that everyone can dine in."
He Wenlin is no longer satisfied with just setting up a stall.
"I sneaked into your dorm this afternoon to order lunch from you, but the doors and windows were locked. I thought you weren't setting up your stall this afternoon. Turns out you moved here." The speaker was a familiar-looking woman, who seemed to be a colleague of her mother's from the factory. She was young, around eighteen or nineteen, and was currently eating fried noodles.
He Wenlin quickly apologized: "I just moved here this afternoon, I'm so sorry, sister, it's a shame you made the trip for nothing. I just rented two rooms here this afternoon, and I'll be making boxed lunches here from now on. You can come here to eat, or you can pay in advance to order food like Brother Zhou and Brother Hui, and come here when it's mealtime, and I can save some food for you."
"Okay, boss, then I'll order a plate of fried noodles."
"I'll have a plate of fried noodles too."
"I want a boxed lunch. I'll bring my own rice, but please save some vegetables for me."
...
In just a short while, He Wenlin received a total of 25 orders, including 15 orders of fried noodles and 10 orders of boxed meals. All of them paid for the total amount of 43 yuan.
Of these bookings, ten were for the first time with He Wenlin.
He Wenlin registered each person and gave each of them a slip of paper with the order for fried noodles or boxed lunches written on it, so they could pick up their orders using the slips.
Seeing He Wenlin's methodical approach to tasks, her uncle He Xing smiled and said, "Linlin has quite the air of a boss."
"You were doing just fine in the dorm, why did you suddenly move here? Did the boss and his wife scold you?" He Hui asked.
"I didn't say it outright, but it's someone else's territory after all. I didn't spend a single penny, so I can't keep taking advantage of them."
Upon hearing this, Uncle He Xing immediately said, "Are you stupid? Just wait until he tells you before you move in. That way you can save on rent and utilities."
"Exactly, you're too honest. You can't do business like that."
The villagers all agreed, saying that He Wenlin was too stubborn and not "cunning" enough in business.
