After agreeing on the price, He Wenlin rode in Boss Guo's car to the farmers' market, picked up a box of chicken gizzards from him, and bought two power strips before returning to the shop.
When I got back to the store, it was already 2:30.
He Wenlin saw that the tent at the entrance had already been set up.
This fast food restaurant is beginning to take shape.
He Wenlin felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Lin Fei, He Shan, and the others were already cutting winter melon and washing chives.
"Linlin, you're back. The gas delivery guy just came by, and I took eighty-five yuan out of my bag to give him," He Shan said.
"Oh dear, I forgot." After saying that, He Wenlin counted out eighty-five coins from her pocket and gave them to her, as she would need to take the change with her to set up her stall later.
He Wenlin took out about four pounds of chicken gizzards and put them in a basin to thaw.
A box of chicken gizzards weighs ten pounds. Four pounds of chicken gizzards are enough to stir-fry with about seven or eight pounds of pickled cabbage.
Soon, Mr. Liu arrived in his truck, loaded with insulated food carts and freezers.
"Young boss, you don't just have a few kids running this shop, do you?" Boss Liu asked, his face full of shock.
“It was a few of us who did it, Mr. Liu. Could you please help us unload the freezer and the insulated truck?”
"Linlin, you bought a freezer?" He Qian exclaimed in surprise.
The others were also shocked and gathered around to look.
How much does it cost?
"I bought it secondhand, it was cheaper than a new one." He Wenlin did not disclose the price.
Lin Fei and Boss Liu unloaded the freezer and insulated cart together. The food cart was placed outside the door, and the freezer was placed in the corner of the room.
He Wenlin immediately took out the newly purchased socket, plugged in the freezer, and put the remaining chicken gizzards in to refrigerate.
He Wenlin's friends were even more excited than she was about to buy a new refrigerator.
"We can buy more popsicles to freeze later. We can sell them or eat them ourselves. You guys can have one for free every day, it's on me!"
Hearing He Wenlin's words, He Jian and He Wenjun were the happiest, and they almost jumped for joy.
"Sis, dear sister, I want to drink iced cola again."
“Okay, no problem. From now on, I’ll treat everyone to an iced Coke once a week.”
He's younger brother works diligently and has gotten quite tanned. He Wenlin will naturally grant his small request.
The others were great too. Spending a little money to boost everyone's enthusiasm was worth it!
After settling her things in, He Wenlin walked around to the other side of the car, avoiding her friends' sight, and paid 1,100 yuan to Boss Liu.
It wasn't that He Wenlin didn't trust her childhood friend and younger brother, but rather that they were too young, and He Wenlin was afraid they wouldn't keep their mouths shut.
He Wenlin didn't want people to know that she had made money. She would tell others that she only paid two hundred for the freezer and the insulated food cart, and that the rest was on credit.
If they saw He Wenlin pay, wouldn't that give them away?
"Mr. Liu, could you please deliver ten jin of pork tomorrow? I bought it for four yuan and fifty cents a jin at the meat market. You can't charge more than that. Also, you can't deliver inferior pork, and I need three jin of pig liver. Cash on delivery."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't give you anything bad. I'll deliver it to you before seven o'clock tomorrow!" Old Liu assured her. Before leaving, he even wrote down his home phone number for He Wenlin, saying that she could just call him if she wanted meat delivered in the future.
After seeing Boss Liu off, He Wenlin remembered that she hadn't bought glutinous rice yet, so she quickly rode her bike to buy fifty catties of glutinous rice, one hundred catties of regular rice, fifty catties of flour, and forty catties of soybean oil, spending a total of 300 yuan.
He Wenlin looked at her flattened wallet and sighed deeply.
We still need to keep working hard.
When I got home, it was already past 3:10.
He Wenlin checked and found that all the side dishes were ready except for a chicken gizzard.
He Wenlin washed the chicken gizzards twice, and then she and Lin Fei chopped them together.
He Shan and He Qian are in charge of cleaning the insulated truck, which will be used tonight.
At four o'clock, the chicken gizzards were cut up and the food cart was cleaned. He Wenlin started cooking.
Today's dishes are spicy and sour chicken giblets, stir-fried eggs with chives, and winter melon.
With more and more orders coming in, He Wenlin was worried that it would affect their stall business, so she only allowed them to take 45 boxes out, and also prepared 15 servings of egg fried rice and 6 servings of fried noodles.
At 5:28 p.m., they set off on their tricycles on time.
At 5:35 p.m., customers began to arrive one after another to pick up their food.
Mr. and Mrs. He also arrived, and they looked surprised when they saw the insulated food cart outside the door.
"Linlin, did you buy a food warmer? How much did it cost?"
"It cost 1,100 in total, including the freezer. I bought it secondhand, otherwise it wouldn't have been so cheap."
Besides those picking up their meals, some individual customers also wanted to buy fried noodles, so He Wenlin was busy talking to them.
"What? You even bought a freezer?" Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. He exclaimed in surprise, "Where is it?"
"Inside a corner."
He's parents, He Xingliang, and Xiao Ying (He Qian's parents) rushed in to take a look, and wow, there really was a freezer, with one side for refrigeration and the other for freezing.
It's a big brand, after all.
He Xingliang and Xiao Ying were heartbroken. They were both raising children, but how come other people's children were so outstanding? They had already bought a freezer at such a young age, while they couldn't afford one.
Mr. and Mrs. He were extremely proud, their smiles stretching all the way to their ears.
He Xing said, "Linlin, it seems you've made quite a bit of money on this business. You bought the freezer just like that..."
"Uncle, you think too highly of me. I haven't paid yet. The owner sells meat. I'm going to buy meat from him every day from now on and pay him back slowly. If I can make a living like this in just a few days, I can buy a freezer and become rich." He Wenlin certainly couldn't tell the truth, because the truth would make people envious.
But it still makes people envious. Even if it's on credit, it shows that He Wenlin is capable. Otherwise, how could she be willing to buy on credit after only a few days?
Similarly, even if it's on credit, Mr. and Mrs. He are happy, because it shows that their daughter is capable and can gain people's trust. She can just borrow such an expensive item without hesitation.
Mr. He laughed and said, "Don't let them be unable to pay it back later."
"Dad, can't you wish me something good?"
Mrs. He chided, "That's right, can't you just wish my daughter well? Linlin, go for it, Mom will back you up."
He Ma was acting out of character.
"Go eat next door, don't crowd here," He Wenlin urged them to leave.
We had to hurry, because several walk-in customers came and wanted to buy fried noodles.
He Wenlin was extremely busy, as if she were in a war.
At six o'clock, five more people came to buy fried noodles! Some of them even wanted two servings!
After finally finishing cooking eight servings of stir-fried noodles for these five people, six more people arrived!
These six people hadn't even left when two more showed up!
He Wenlin felt like she was spinning like a top, constantly turning.
My arms are so tired they almost don't belong to me anymore.
I was busy until 6:30 PM before I finally stopped.
However, the effort paid off. After these individual customers came in, He Wenlin would take the initiative to ask them if they wanted to order breakfast for the next day.
Then He Qian introduced the promotional activities to them.
It's only 1.5 yuan, and they give away eggs. Half the people are willing to pay to reserve it.
