Chapter 27 Too Young
"Boss Chen, what do you eat that smells so good?"
At Shop 056 on the first floor of Times Square, Xiaofang, who had just gone out to buy a fast food meal, smelled a fragrance and curiously asked the owner of the stall next door.
"The crayfish set meal tastes pretty good. I ordered one for everyone in the store."
Picking up the shell of the crayfish, the beautiful stall owner sucked some of the gravy and answered in a moment of leisure.
Although many stores in Times Square are not doing well in business, her clothes are of good quality and she still has many regular customers who don’t mind spending some money on meals.
To be honest, it tastes much better than fast food. I can’t stop eating this crayfish.
"Is that the one who delivered the flyers this morning? I thought it wasn't tasty. Looks like I can order one for dinner."
Smelling the charming aroma, Xiaofang looked at the fast food in her hand and reluctantly postponed the plan of eating crayfish to dinner.
To Zhou Anan's surprise, around five o'clock, a large wave of takeout orders came in, eighty percent of which came from around Times Square.
The mall’s business hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but the newly opened Times Square is open until 8:30 p.m.
While quickly frying the vermicelli, Zhou Anan occasionally looked at the gradually darkening sky and thought about the development of the takeaway business.
"An An, there's a takeaway delivered to Sanma Road."
Ying Chengcheng, who was responsible for answering the phone, wrote down the takeaway order, ran to Zhou Anan and said, handing over a bottle of room temperature mineral water.
Ever since Zhou Anan said at noon that drinking ice water was bad for the body, Ying Chengcheng remembered it very clearly.
"It's so late, let's postpone it."
Looking at the sky which had completely darkened, Zhou Anan took a sip of water and said helplessly.
If it's takeout from Nanyuan Road, it's still possible, but it's so far away from Sanmalu that it's really unsafe to go back and forth.
Making money is important, but safety comes first.
"Okay, I'll call back and tell you."
As a 'little secretary', Ying Chengcheng is quite considerate.
"Um."
At this time, Zhou Anan's hands were very sore after cooking for more than an hour. The midnight snack business was about to start, so he had to put the task of finding a chef on the agenda.
I earned 295.2 yuan from takeout at noon, and 1,125 yuan from dinner and midnight snacks.
As for the recycling of crayfish that had been agreed upon with Boss Xu, Zhou Anan found that it was unnecessary, and the extra dozen pounds of crayfish were eaten by her classmates for free.
On this day, Zhou Anan's daily income was the first to break the 1,400 mark.
Calculating the monthly income, it is definitely 40,000, which instantly puts him at the upper level in the entire Lizhou City.
People who are born again are so awesome.
Shop owners in the mall and Times Square were so enthusiastic about the novel crayfish set that at noon on the 28th, Ying Chengcheng's two cell phones were nearly blown up.
In the two hours from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., a total of 45 takeouts, totaling 71 crayfish sets, were delivered.
"An An, you must be tired. Drink some water."
Taking advantage of Zhou Anan's break, Ying Chengcheng immediately handed over a bottle of room-temperature mineral water with the lid opened.
She is not good at repairing crayfish, but she is very skilled at doing this.
"Thanks."
After drinking half a bottle of water in one gulp and taking a breath, Zhou Anan felt like his hands were no longer his own.
With this hot trend, finding a second chef is urgent.
The work of making crayfish is not very tiring, but Zhou Anan feels that the work of frying vermicelli can be handed over to others.
Who are you looking for?
Aunt?
When Zhou Anan thought of the first name, she immediately thought of her aunt who had cooked dinner for her tutoring class for a period of time in her previous life.
My aunt, who used to cook in the elementary school cafeteria, was undoubtedly a good candidate for the chef position.
Anyway, my aunt has nothing to do during this summer vacation.
But when she thought of her aunt's loud mouth, Zhou Anan immediately rejected the idea.
These days, the busy Zhou Anan took time to go home from time to time to fool his parents. He must not fail at this time. Otherwise, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
But Zhou Anan was a little unsure about finding someone from outside.
The operation of this crayfish set meal is simple and easy to learn and imitate.
As this concerns the first pot of gold for his business, Zhou Anan doesn’t want any additional changes.
Zhou Anan rejected the idea of asking classmates for help with a smile.
Although their generation was not born with a silver spoon in their mouth, they lived in an era when conditions were improving rapidly. Many people were very uninitiated and did not even know how to add the right amount of rice when cooking, let alone frying vermicelli. They were lucky enough not to burn the pot.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Zhou Anan is now skilled at frying vermicelli and roasting crayfish. That was all caused by her years of single life after graduation.
If he were a 17-year-old boy in his previous life, Zhou Anan felt that he could only add water to cook rice, and even frying eggs was not a skill he needed.
There’s nothing we can do about it; this generation of people born after 1985 is just so willful.
"An An, what are you thinking about?"
Ying Heng had just returned from delivering takeout with another classmate. He looked at Zhou Anan who was in a daze, looked around, and quietly walked up to ask.
"I want to hire a chef?"
When asked by classmates, Zhou Anan answered casually.
Although we were not familiar with each other in the previous life, after two days of getting along, we became a little familiar with each other.
"Chef? Oh."
Hearing this topic, Ying Heng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
Ying Heng was quite interested in Zhou Anan, who had suddenly changed after graduation. After all, when everyone was looking forward to college life and using their summer vacation to have fun, Zhou Anan had already started his own business and made money to support himself.
It's normal to look up to such an independent boy.
Just like Ying Chengcheng, his eyes almost shine when he looks at boys, but unfortunately he is too thin-skinned.
However, she still couldn't speak to the boy after mustering up the courage. After all, she had never had a boyfriend before.
"That's fine."
After the other party interrupted, Zhou Anan had a new idea in his mind.
Before the two could continue chatting, Ying Chengcheng, who had received a new order, ran over quickly, and seeing this, Ying Heng slowly walked back to the shade to rest.
We need to keep a low profile on this matter.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, the fast food orders finally decreased. Zhou Anan clapped his sore hands and called everyone over.
"Does anyone know anyone? I'm looking to hire a chef who can make delicious fried vermicelli. Monthly salary: 2,000."
Regarding the requirements for chefs, Zhou Anan feels that the most important thing at the moment is to have good skills in frying vermicelli, and the rest are not that important.
“.”
After a period of silence, Zhou Anan could only wave his hand and let everyone go back to rest. He was still too young.
