He Wenlin gave them a stack of promotional flyers that the store had made before, which they could use when they went to the school to get orders.
He Wenlin gave them a crash course, explaining which dishes on the menu were mild and which were spicy.
He Wenlin felt that there would be more students from the liberal arts college than from the province. People from the province prefer mild flavors and cannot handle spicy food. When she encountered such people, He Wenlin suggested that the three of them try the hand-grabbed rice!
Zhou Yuxin had never heard of hand-grabbed rice before, and joked, "Hand-grabbed rice? You eat it with your hands?"
"This is Xinjiang style, the main ingredients are pork ribs and carrots, no chili peppers, and it tastes pretty good," He Wenlin said. "Two yuan and eighty cents a serving."
"It's Xinjiang style, huh? I'll buy some to try this afternoon."
"I'll buy one to try too."
"Since you've all bought some, I'll just get tomato rice instead," Xiao Lan said. "Can we get a discount? Do you have any employee discounts or anything?"
"Fast food is already cheap, so I'm sorry there's no discount. But if you work here long-term and do well, I'll give you a free meal once a week from now on."
The three girls immediately took out their money and ordered two servings of hand-grabbed rice and one serving of tomato-topped rice.
After receiving the money, He Wenlin told them that when they were getting orders, they should ask the customers where they were from and whether they preferred strong flavors. She also told them to record the customers' feedback after they ate their fast food.
"With your dedication, your business is sure to thrive!" Zhou Yuxin said with absolute certainty.
He Wenlin: "Haha, then I'll take your good wishes. My business is doing well, and your commissions are also higher, it's a win-win situation."
It was getting late, and the three girls had to go back to school, so they left.
Even as they left, He Wenlin could tell they were full of confidence.
"Business should pick up this afternoon, everyone cheer up!" He Wenlin encouraged. "With so many students in the College of Arts and Sciences, if this business takes off, it won't be any worse than Yihaodian. We'll give you all bigger bonuses at the end of the year!"
He Shan: "Linlin, why do you have so much confidence in those three girls?"
“They may not have developed a thick skin yet, but they have a desire to make money. Putting aside everything else, at least their classmates will give them some face the first time,” He Wenlin said. “I guess most of the students here are from this province, so second brother, you need to learn a couple more light dishes.”
Currently, the rice bowls suitable for locals at the restaurant are scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with chives, hand-grabbed rice, and stir-fried shredded carrots with meat.
The liberal arts college is currently promoting hand-grabbed rice, but guests can't eat that all the time.
"Second brother, I'm giving you two days to learn how to make stir-fried eggplant with soy sauce. Also, I'll teach you how to make congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and congee with mushrooms and chicken. You must learn how to make congee within five days! Can you do that?"
He Wenjun was also caught up in the tense atmosphere and immediately nodded: "Yes!"
"Okay, I'll teach you tonight!"
We don't serve late-night snacks here, so there's plenty of time to study in the evenings.
He Wenlin didn't teach before because she was too busy, and also because she was worried that her apprentices would try to do too much at once and not be able to handle it properly, so she thought she would take it one step at a time.
Now that my second brother has mastered the dishes he often makes, it's time for him to teach me something new.
...
Peng Liang and He Shan went to Hongrui again, but it didn't have much effect.
Only fourteen servings of braised pork belly and potato rice were sold.
Although Huang Ji has temporarily taken over Hong Rui's business, good news has come from the Liberal Arts College.
Zhou Yuxin told He Wenlin that they had received thirteen orders of wontons (without chili), as well as thirty-three orders of hand-grabbed rice, six orders of tomato rice bowls, and three orders of hot and sour shredded potato rice bowls!
There were a total of 55 takeout orders!
Sales reached 136.5 yuan!
This is just the cost of one meal! It's already quite good.
It can be said that it was a great start!
He Wenlin didn't return to the Caijiang Village fast food restaurant in the afternoon. Lin Fei and He's father can cook more dishes now, so it doesn't matter if He Wenlin is not there once or twice.
He Wenlin is here to focus on assisting He Wenjun.
After delivering the meal, He Wenlin, her second brother, Peng Liang, and He Shan had dinner here.
Ask Peng Liang to order a new menu tomorrow, adding dishes like preserved egg and lean pork congee, mushroom and chicken congee, hand-pulled rice, stir-fried eggplant with soy sauce, and braised pork with potatoes.
If you're going to teach cooking skills, you can't just teach one person.
In the evening, back at the Caijiang Village fast food restaurant, He Wenlin taught He's father, Lin Fei, and He Wenjun how to make braised eggplant with soy sauce.
He Wenlin told them to practice this dish after the evening rush hour, especially the second brother.
The second brother knew that if he couldn't learn it, the second store wouldn't be able to continue operating, so he was determined and practiced without saying a word.
Neither He's father nor Lin Fei wanted to be outdone, so the three of them started competing.
In one night, the three of them each cooked more than twenty plates of this dish, using more than fifty kilograms of eggplant.
He Wenlin and He Shan wanted to try every plate of eggplant. After trying a few plates, He Shan made an excuse that she had to get up early to go to the breakfast shop the next day and slipped away.
He Wenlin was left alone in the store tasting the dishes, and she felt like she was turning into an eggplant.
Fortunately, after persistent efforts, the dish was cooked without any problems.
He Wenlin plans to teach the recipes for preserved egg and lean pork congee and mushroom and chicken congee again tomorrow.
Actually, there are also salted bone porridge and seafood porridge, which are He Wenlin's favorites.
However, it's best not to try to do too much at once. Let's take it slow and let them learn the two most common ones first.
The next day, in the morning.
Ring ring...
The phone rang.
"Linlin, you have such good taste! Those three students from the College of Arts and Sciences brought me twenty-six breakfast orders!" He Shan excitedly reported over the phone!
A successful breakfast shop means more commission for He Shan each month.
"I'll stop here for now. I need to pack mine up quickly and deliver it to you personally in a bit."
Before He Wenlin could say a word, He Shan hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Mr. He asked.
He Wenlin smiled and said, "Shanshan said that the three girls from the College of Arts and Sciences booked breakfast for us."
Mr. He felt that his daughter was indeed smart; without the business from Hongrui Printing Factory, she could immediately find new customers.
but……
Mr. He said worriedly, "That Huang family is quite clever. Will they try to steal our business again?"
