He Wenlin washed her face and then continued preparing the ingredients.
The pickled green beans, chili peppers, ginger, and meat haven't been chopped yet, and it's already 9:30.
By 10 o'clock, He Wenlin had finished all the preparations.
He Wenjun was washing rice and cooking, while He Wenlin sat in front of the fan to cool off; it was just too hot.
At 10:30, the food was ready.
He poured the rice into the bowl with practiced ease, and then He Wenjun started cooking.
Because the quantity is being reduced, only three pots will be cooked in the second round.
The pressure cooker was ready. He Wenlin washed the pot and then put the blanched pork ribs in to stew, along with two carrots and a yam.
This isn't for sale; it's for our own consumption. There are many people eating here, so the portions are large.
Because the pressure cooker takes up one stovetop, He Wenlin can't cook with two pots at the same time.
He Wenlin first stir-fried pickled green beans and minced meat. This dish is simple and easy to cook. In less than 15 minutes, three batches were ready.
Next, she stir-fried lotus root slices with lard. Since there was a lot of lotus root and it was not easy to stir, He Wenlin stir-fried it in three batches.
After stir-frying the lotus root, the pork rib, carrot, and yam soup in the pressure cooker was also ready.
He Wenlin took the pressure cooker down and placed it in the corner.
Start by stir-frying the garlic chicken drumsticks. The drumsticks have already been deep-fried, so just stir-fry them again. Using two pans simultaneously will make the process more efficient.
We had 8 chicken drumsticks at home, enough for one per person. Subtracting the 15 pre-ordered drumsticks, we only packed 60 boxes in total.
I didn't pack many boxed lunches today, so I prepared them by 11:30.
All thirty servings of fried noodles were finished at exactly 12 o'clock.
However, the packaging is not finished yet.
"Boss He, you've started selling fried noodles at noon too?" The villagers returned and saw He Wenlin packing up fried noodles.
"Now that we have competitors, we have to come up with some new ideas. Your dishes are on that table over there, help yourselves, they're all the same."
He Wenlin responded to them while quickly packing the food.
He Wenlin's hand speed was incredible, leaving several fellow villagers dumbfounded.
"Linlin is really efficient at her work."
"So he became a boss when you were still playing in the mud and pee."
"Hahaha……"
Several fellow villagers burst into laughter.
Working life is tough and monotonous, but there are also many joys.
"Is there anything else I can help with?" Seeing that He Wenlin was covered in sweat, He's mother wanted to offer her assistance.
"I don't need any help. I've stewed some ribs in the pressure cooker. You can pour them out and eat them yourself. Xiao Jian and I are leaving now."
As He Wenlin spoke, she quickly put the packaged fried noodles into the tricycle and then sped off.
When we arrived at the usual spot, it was already 12:15.
He Qian and her younger brother Wen Jun were surrounded by a crowd; wow, there seemed to be even more customers than before.
He Wenlin also heard He Qian shouting at the top of her lungs, "It's all gone, sold out, really all gone."
At this moment, He Wenjun saw He Wenlin and shouted, "My sister is here! My sister has some things over there, everyone go to her side!"
As soon as He Wenjun finished speaking, a group of customers rushed towards He Wenlin.
"These are all fried noodles, with eggs and bean sprouts, one yuan and fifty cents a box. Limited quantity, first come first served," He Wenlin introduced.
"Young boss, why are you selling fried noodles today?" a regular customer asked.
He Wenlin said with a smile, "It's to give everyone a change of pace."
Fried rice noodles are economical and taste pretty good.
If you can't afford the 2.8 yuan fast food, you can choose the 1.5 yuan fried noodles.
"I know your fried noodles. I bought some last night. They have eggs and bean sprouts. They're delicious. Can I have a serving?"
"Give me one too."
"I'll have one too."
...
The thirty servings of fried noodles were quickly sold out.
But there weren't enough to sell.
A large crowd gathered around it.
"Young boss, you should make more; look how many people can't buy them."
He Wenlin: "Mainly because I see that other people are selling these, and I'm afraid that if I make too many, I won't be able to sell them."
"Your worries are unnecessary. Look at all these people who haven't been able to buy any."
"That's right, we came all the way here because we heard your boxed lunches are delicious."
"Who knew it would be a wasted trip."
"I couldn't buy it yesterday afternoon, and I still couldn't buy it today."
"Fellow villager, make more this afternoon."
...
He Wenlin apologized repeatedly: "I will definitely do more this afternoon. I'm sorry, everyone. Please come back this afternoon. I will definitely do more this afternoon."
The group left disappointed.
"Linlin, there are so many people today. I think it's because everyone knows you sell boxed lunches here, and the lunches are delicious, so they all came," He Qian said.
"That afternoon, the amount of boxed lunches will be increased. You and Xiao Jian should come early to help me wash the vegetables. I'll give you both an extra two yuan in wages today."
“Sure,” He Qian readily agreed.
“I’ll call Shanshan over to help. From now on, you and Shanshan will sell, and the two younger brothers can stay home and pack the orders.”
We must lighten the burden, otherwise increasing production will make He Wenlin too tired.
"You guys go back first, I ordered chicken wings, I need to go pick them up."
After saying that, He Wenlin went to the farmers' market, first got some chicken wings, and then bought two boxes of vermicelli, each box weighing ten jin.
I also bought five jin of chives, ten jin of potatoes, one large winter melon, ten jin of pork ribs, and some seasonings, spending 130 yuan.
After leaving the farmers' market, I called He Shan from a small shop.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, sister, could you please help me? I'm looking for He Ling."
Immediately afterward, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lingling is looking for you."
Who's looking for me?
"Sister Ling, this is Wenlin. Could you please tell Shanshan that she can come over to my place this afternoon?"
"She happens to be in my shop. Wait here, I'll have her talk to you."
He Ling handed the phone to her younger sister, He Shan.
"Shanshan, I'm selling boxed lunches here and I'm too busy. Can you come over this afternoon and help me out?"
"You sell boxed lunches?" He Shan thought she was hallucinating.
"Yes, I set up this business myself. It's hard to explain over the phone. Pack a few clothes and come over. I have a spare bed here. Hurry up, I'll hang up now, I'm busy."
He Wenlin wants to increase production; it's definitely not enough with just two middle school students and two elementary school students.
