He Wenlin's prediction was correct; the guests didn't arrive until seven o'clock.
"This is just a sticky rice ball? It doesn't look very appealing," the blond-haired guy said, somewhat disappointed.
"Handsome, this rice ball looks ordinary, but it's actually quite special. Why don't you try it?" Huang Mao was a regular customer, and He Wenlin remembered him; he was also one of the customers who ordered the glutinous rice balls.
Huang Mao took the glutinous rice ball handed to him by Aunt He, took a bite with some skepticism, then a second bite, then a third bite...
Then his eyes lit up: "I remember you said the egg giveaway would last for three days, right?"
He Wenlin laughed and said, "Yes, we're losing money to gain publicity in order to advertise."
A serving of sticky rice costs 1.5 yuan and comes with an egg; there's really not much profit to be made.
Huang Mao took out twenty yuan and put it on the table: "I need three portions each tomorrow and the day after, and one more today! Give me two boxed lunches for lunch."
Of course, Huang Mao didn't buy three portions for himself; he also wanted to send one to the girl he was pursuing.
He Qian quickly collected the money and wrote three receipts.
"Handsome, that's 16.1 yuan in total. I'll take 16 yuan from you and give you 4 yuan back." He Qian handed him the receipt and the change together.
The other two glutinous rice balls and the free egg were packed in a bag by Aunt He. Huang Mao took the bag and left, wanting to deliver breakfast to his Xiao Juan while it was still hot.
As soon as Huang Mao left, groups of customers came to pick up their meals, including many individual customers, crowding He Wenlin's small shop.
Of course, if you didn't pre-order breakfast, you won't get a free egg.
Like Huang Mao, these people were initially disappointed when they saw the rice ball, finding it rather ordinary.
But after taking a couple of bites, mmm, it's really delicious!
Then, Aunt He quickly took the opportunity to promote the store, saying that they were having a promotion these two days. If you paid to reserve breakfast for tomorrow or the day after, you would get a free egg. One by one, the customers quickly reserved for tomorrow. Some of the younger customers felt that one serving was not enough, so they not only reserved for tomorrow, but also wanted to buy an extra serving today!
By 7:15, more and more people had gathered.
Lin Fei stir-fried rice noodles, while He Wenlin kept making glutinous rice balls.
Fortunately, He Wenlin had packed up all the fried noodles ordered by the customers before 7 o'clock, and also prepared some glutinous rice, so she didn't have to rush around.
Even so, He Qian was simply too busy to handle all the money collecting and writing receipts by herself.
Aunt He also took a pen and a receipt book and wrote together with her.
Mr. He arrived at some point, and seeing the crowd, he was extremely pleased with himself and joined in collecting and giving change.
He Xingliang and Xiaoying, a married couple, couldn't squeeze in. Seeing this grand scene from the outside, they were extremely envious.
At 7:28, He's parents went to work.
However, there were still five customers waiting for glutinous rice in the shop, and He Wenlin was busy until 7:36.
Only after they all left did He Wenlin and the others have a chance to catch their breath.
He Wenlin gulped down a big glass of water, feeling really satisfied!
Then the group sat down and began to take stock of their morning's achievements.
I received orders for 72 breakfasts for tomorrow and 18 breakfasts for the day after tomorrow, all of which are sticky rice balls.
Today at noon, we received 68 boxed lunch orders and 19 fried noodle orders.
Order volume has once again set a new record.
In addition to the more than 30 servings of glutinous rice that were pre-ordered yesterday, He Wenlin made 9 extra servings of glutinous rice today and sold them.
"Lin Fei, besides the eighteen servings of fried noodles that the customers ordered yesterday, do you remember how many servings you fried?" He Wenlin asked him.
"I remember, I remember." Lin Fei excitedly picked up a stack of fast food boxes on the table. "I was afraid that I would forget the number when I got busy, so I put fifty boxes here in advance. Now there are... twenty left. That means, including the ones the customers ordered yesterday, I have cooked a total of thirty servings of fried noodles today."
"Smart! Use this method from now on!" He Wenlin praised. "Now let's count the money together."
Now, adding the original 200 yuan in the bag, the total amount is 557.6 yuan.
"It's only four cents short, you all did a great job."
Some regular customers order large quantities at once, and the one-cent difference is usually rounded down, so a difference of four cents is quite normal.
"Boss He." Boss Liu arrived on his tricycle.
"Boss Liu." He Wenlin stood up to greet him.
"Ten pounds of meat, three pounds of pig liver, both are quite a lot, you can weigh them." Boss Liu carried the meat in one hand and the pig liver in the other.
“We’ve been doing business together for a long time, and I trust Mr. Liu.”
Unless someone's completely out of their mind, they would resort to underhanded tactics on their very first collaboration.
Mr. Liu was quite thoughtful; he even divided the ten pounds of meat into three pieces for He Wenlin.
Although He Wenlin didn't weigh the meat, she checked its quality and found it to be quite good.
He Wenlin counted out 54 yuan and gave it to him, and also ordered three jin of pig's blood and fifteen jin of pork from him.
