(My darlings, the previous chapter has been slightly modified, but the general plot remains the same.)
He Shan became more and more open under He Wenlin's influence.
Along with He Wenlin, they actively invited customers to come into the store and make purchases. Surprisingly, quite a few people did come and buy things.
Around seven o'clock, more and more people started to arrive.
It's near a bus stop and on a main road, with many residents nearby and a lot of people coming and going.
He Wenlin quickly turned on the tape recorder and played music to make the place more lively.
He Shan continued to tirelessly promote the products outside, while two part-time workers were responsible for packing goods for customers, and He Wenlin and He Wenjun were responsible for collecting and giving change. They were all very busy.
Liu Xiaomei, the Liu siblings, and Luo Zhonghui also came to show their support with large flower baskets.
"Mr. He, may your business prosper!"
He Wenlin really didn't expect these three people to come.
"Please come in, gentlemen. What would you like to eat? One serving of steamed buns and one serving of wontons, please," He Wenlin said to her second brother. "Quickly, make a bowl of wontons for each of the three gentlemen."
After He Wenlin finished speaking, she first packed a serving of steamed dumplings for each of them.
For adults like them, one serving of steamed dumplings is definitely not enough.
"Young Mr. He, you're so young, yet you've made a name for yourself," Mr. Liu said with a smile. "I've always known you're no ordinary person. What's that saying again?"
Liu Xiaomei: "No matter what he says, he's no ordinary person, and his future is limitless."
"Haha, then I'll take your kind words."
He Wenjun also brought over wontons, all with extra portions: "The wontons are ready. Please try them, bosses, and give me your feedback. Feel free to add vinegar and chili. This chili sauce is my sister's secret recipe, and it's especially fragrant."
Luo Zhonghui laughed and said, "Then I'll have to try it."
"Boss, here's your change!" Xia Xiaohua, a part-time worker, called out.
"Second brother, you go."
"Here it comes." He Wenjun quickly ran to the door to collect the money and give change.
At this moment, a line formed at the door, and He Shan stopped shouting and joined the line of collecting and giving change.
The five of them can manage, so He Wenlin doesn't need to step forward.
At this moment, Liu Xiaomei said, "Boss He, your wontons taste really good."
"I'm glad you like it. If it's not enough, I'll ask my second brother to make you some more."
Mr. Liu: "That's enough, that's enough. With dumplings and wontons, I'm afraid no one will be able to eat lunch."
After breakfast, they all wanted to pay, but He Wenlin refused. They had already given her a flower basket, which was a great honor, so how could she accept their money?
"Xiao He, how can we not charge for a new store opening?"
"That's right, hurry up and take it, then we can get it for free next time. Not today, it's bad luck."
He Wenlin couldn't refuse, but she gave them a discount, and in the end, she symbolically charged each of them two yuan.
It's already 7:40, and they need to hurry back to do business. The doorway at He Wenlin's place is already packed with people.
After seeing the three of them off, He Wenlin watched as the five of them finished their work. She went outside and continued her call out, "Grand opening special! Buy breakfast and get a free egg! Limited quantity, first come, first served! It's a steal! Don't miss out! Buy breakfast and get a free egg, first come, first served..."
"Miss, have you had breakfast yet? We have steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao, glutinous rice balls, and wontons, all for 1.5 yuan a serving. They're delicious and inexpensive, and we're currently offering free boiled eggs—it's a super deal..."
"Uncle, the early bird catches the worm. Come in and buy some breakfast. You need to eat well to have the energy to go to work."
"Auntie, buy breakfast and get a free egg! It's a super deal, you'll make a profit if you buy it! Come in and take a look..."
He Wenlin is bold, enthusiastic, and has a sweet tongue. She calls everyone she meets "brother," "sister," "uncle," or "aunt." Those who are "chosen" by her usually come to buy from her without feeling embarrassed.
He Wenlin kept shouting until 8:40, her throat was practically hoarse from shouting.
"Quickly drink some water to moisten your skin." Grandma He handed He Wenlin a glass of water.
Grandma He, Grandpa He, and Lin Fei arrived at 8:15. They had been thinking about the opening of this place, so they rode their bikes here as soon as the peak hours ended.
"How's business? It looks pretty good," Mr. He asked.
"We're giving away eggs with breakfast today for our opening, but we're not making any money. It's just a way to attract customers," He Wenlin said, taking the fanny packs from Lin Fei and He Shan's bags and starting to do the math.
There were originally 300 yuan in change in the two bags, and now the total amount is 553 yuan, which means the turnover is 253 yuan.
"It's not bad," the second brother laughed. "It's still early, we can sell it for a while longer, I reckon we can get it for three hundred."
"If we can sell over two hundred eggs a day without delivering them, that would be good," said Mr. He. "Otherwise, we won't make any money."
“I noticed that not many wontons were sold today, Second Brother, how many bowls did you cook today?” He Wenlin asked.
"Not counting the three bosses, we cooked twelve bowls."
"The rice balls are doing alright, we've sold about fifty," He Shan said. "We'll close at eleven o'clock, let's see if we can reach sixty."
"Linlin, congratulations!" He Hui also came over with a flower basket. "How was business today?"
"So-so. We just opened, and they're giving away eggs with breakfast, basically losing money to attract customers," He Wenlin said with a laugh. "What would you like to eat? Rice balls? Or steamed buns?"
"Soup dumplings, please."
He Wenlin gave him a basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and told him to add chili sauce to his liking.
"When will you set up your stall?" Grandma He asked He Hui.
"I plan to try my luck at the Second Hospital this afternoon, and then I plan to try the antique street tonight."
