Chapter 135: Food Truck with Fresh Juice and Seaweed Rolls…
Chapter 135
Uncle Lin raised his glass and said, "I won't say anything. I just wish everyone all the best in the new year!"
Lin Mujin led the applause. Everyone was satisfied even though their wish had come true. Why would they want a bicycle?
After they clinked glasses, she drank it in one gulp.
Fruit wine has no alcohol content.
Uncle Lin picked up his chopsticks, and everyone else couldn't wait to start eating.
Lin Mujin went the other way and served the soup, which had to be Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
She had gone to so much trouble to get this bite, and now she must savor it.
I took a sip of the soup first. It was rich, mellow and delicious. I couldn't help but take another sip.
"Sister, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so delicious!" praised cousin Lin.
Cousin Lin snorted and laughed, "Don't you see how much trouble this is? The sea cucumbers and abalone here need to be soaked three days in advance, and this soup uses a lot of good ingredients and takes over three hours to simmer."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "It's Chinese New Year now. We don't usually have time for this."
Lin Muli didn't even use a spoon, he just picked up the bowl and started drinking.
Lin Mujin said, "Everything in the soup is good, and it tastes even better when you eat it while drinking the soup."
She also started eating. The abalone was tender and chewy, and very springy when bitten.
The sea cucumber is soft and has absorbed the deliciousness of the soup, making it melt in your mouth.
………
In short, everything is delicious.
But she didn't just focus on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she also ate other dishes.
The braised pork trotters are great, they are boneless and can be sucked.
And the meaning is good, pig's trotters can be used to "pick up money".
"Brother, say something too!"
It’s Chinese New Year, we can’t just eat food without any preparation, we need atmosphere.
Lin Mujin urged her cousin Lin to speak second.
Cousin Lin swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Well... I wish everyone good health!"
This time everyone held up their soup bowls, and no one cared, so they just clinked their bowls together.
Cousin Lin took the initiative to say, "Is it my turn to speak now? I wish everyone great success!"
Lin Mujin followed up, "I wish you all continued success in your careers!"
Afterwards, Lin Muli, Luo Shi Nai and others also sent their blessings one by one.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became much more lively.
Lin Mujin suggested, "Let's talk about our New Year's goals. Let me start first. I hope to open a third store."
Cousin Lin quickly said, "Don't be so anxious, there are not enough people at home."
Lin Mujin looked at Mrs. Luo and her daughter and the Zhou sisters. "If the staff isn't enough, just hire more people. There are so many people looking for jobs. Mrs. Luo, you should also work hard. There will be opportunities for promotion in the future."
Mrs. Luo quickly stood up and said, "I will definitely work hard..."
When Wang Xiaoli and the Zhou sisters saw Mrs. Luo stand up, they wanted to follow.
Lin Mujin quickly waved her hand and asked her to sit down. "It's New Year's Day, relax. We are very satisfied with the work attitude and abilities of the four of you."
Cousin Lin added, “Xiaoli and Yumei have made great progress.”
In the past, Huimei and the other four were busy together, but now with the addition of Pin, the three of them are able to handle it with ease.
Cousin Lin also said, "Mrs. Luo is more capable than me."
Lin Mujin picked up the soup bowl again and said, "Cheers to our four hardworking and outstanding employees!"
Everyone clinked glasses again.
Lin Mujin glanced at Li Xiuying and thought, "Sister Xiuying, what are your goals for the new year?"
Li Xiuying put down her chopsticks and said, "I want to learn more English and gain a firm foothold in the Bandao Hotel."
Lin Mujin clenched her fists and said, "Of course I can do it!"
Others also cheered Li Xiuying on.
All in all, I had a very enjoyable meal.
After dinner, Mrs. Luo and the others cleaned up.
After cleaning up, Uncle Lin also gave red envelopes to the four of them.
We ate separately in the evening and didn’t eat together.
They were the only ones left at home, and no one entered the bedroom.
Lin Mujin went to the refrigerator and took out the remaining box of Daifuku and towel roll.
The two boxes on the table were eaten up.
"Whoever wants to eat it should eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it's left out for too long."
Lin Muli rubbed his stomach and stared at the dessert, but he was willing but unable to eat.
Cousin Lin also said, "We just finished eating, who still has room in their stomach?"
Lin Mujin wanted to say that the stomach for eating vegetables and the stomach for eating desserts are different, so what can't be eaten. "Then I'd better put it back and take it out after my stomach has digested some of it."
No one else had any objections.
"Sister, I have an idea." Cousin Lin said.
Lin Mujin was very curious and quickly sat over and said, "Brother, you say."
The others were also staring at him.
Cousin Lin said slowly, "Huimei has been adding more products, and the sales are also increasing. I was thinking about whether we could add a few items to the food truck. I saw Huimei's products, such as egg and vegetable sandwiches, freshly squeezed juices, and seaweed rolls, which are all very suitable for food trucks."
Lin Mujin was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this was what her cousin Lin was going to say.
I exchanged glances with Cousin Lin.
Come to think of it, it's true. Huimei and the food truck are far enough apart and have completely different customer groups. Even if they sell the same products, it won't have any impact. "It really works."
Cousin Lin was even more annoyed, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "Huimei has just stabilized, so it's understandable that you didn't think too much about it."
Lin Mujin touched her chin. "Fresh-squeezed juice at ten yuan a cup is fine, but egg and vegetable sandwiches need cheese. We usually heat them in the oven, which isn't the hardest part. We can also heat them in a frying pan, which at most wastes some. But cheese needs to be refrigerated. It can't be kept at room temperature; it spoils easily."
Cousin Lin said, "If it's a small amount, you can use the refrigerator at home and only take the amount for the day."
Lin Mujin nodded. "It's a bit troublesome, but it's fine. But can you guys handle it?"
Cousin Lin said, "Forget about the sandwich, how about a seaweed roll?"
Lin Mujin suggested, "I suggest downgrading the packaging of the seaweed rolls and buying fewer boxes to reduce costs. We can then sell each box for ten or fifteen dollars, a price many people won't be able to afford."
Cousin Lin nodded repeatedly, "Of course, even though the hot noodles are only eight yuan, there are still so many people who don't want to add more toppings. They only eat the eight yuan ones and won't eat the ten yuan ones."
Cousin Lin asked, "So what's the approximate cost of the seaweed roll?"
Lin Mujin knew the number and gave it directly, "About five dollars. Huimei has rent and expensive machinery, so I add one dollar to the cost of each food item sold. If the seaweed rolls were sold from a food truck, I wouldn't have to add that extra dollar. If the packaging is downgraded, it would be around 4.8 dollars. Ten dollars would be acceptable. The cost of freshly squeezed juice is about 4.5 dollars, so eight dollars is fine."
Cousin Lin said hurriedly, "Such a large glass of juice for eight dollars is too cheap, and ten dollars is just enough to save change."
Lin Mujin felt that what cousin Lin said was right, and giving change was very troublesome.
