Chapter 58: Jiang Jinzhou Can't Be Left Idle
At five o'clock, all the students are out of school.
As soon as the children who had eaten French fries got home from school, they clamored for more French fries.
I took the parents and went straight to Liang Xiulan's stall.
When they saw the shell surface, they all became curious.
"What are shell noodles?"
Liang Xiulan brought out a small bowl of shell noodle samples for them to see.
"Here, this is shell noodles, would you like to try it?"
"Is it delicious? What is it made of?"
"It's the same as noodles, but the shape is different and the taste is different. This one tastes a bit more sour, but it also has meat in it."
The man looked left and right, hesitating.
The child next to him urged: "I want to eat French fries, I want to eat French fries! Dad, buy me some French fries..."
The adults became impatient with the children's urging and quickly asked Liang Xiulan to bring a plate of French fries to calm the children down.
"Small portion, shut his mouth first."
"good!"
Pour into a bowl, season and pour into a plate.
Before Liang Xiulan could put the fries on the table, the child reached out and snatched the plate away.
I found a seat and ate happily.
The man finally found the time to ask, "How much is a bowl of this shell noodle?"
"Same as the shredded pork noodles, 40 cents, and add 10 cents for a small order of fries."
"Okay, then give me a serving of shredded pork noodles, a serving of shell noodles, and a small order of French fries."
As he said that, he took out a dollar and handed it to Liang Xiujuan.
Liang Xiujuan took the money and recommended a recharge activity to him.
"Our promotion of adding 1 cent to get free fries is only for five days. It will end in two days. If you want to get fries for 1 cent more in the future, you have to become a member."
The man was stunned when he heard this: "What? Only five days? Then when will it end?"
Liang Xiujuan counted on her fingers and said, "Today is the third day. After the day after tomorrow, they'll be gone. From now on, a small portion of fries will be 30 cents, and a large portion will be 40 cents."
"Three cents? Wasn't it two cents?"
"Well, it's a promotion right now, so it's a dime off. Once the promotion is over, it will go back to the original price."
At this time, the shell noodles were ready. The man looked at the peculiarly shaped shell noodles, thinking about something.
I sat down and took a bite with a spoon. It was sour, very appetizing and quite delicious.
I stirred it with chopsticks and found a lot of vegetables and meat underneath. It was much more affordable than the noodle shop.
He asked for a small bowl and gave some to the child next to him.
"Try these shell noodles and see if you like them."
The child was holding French fries in his hand and was immediately interested when he saw the small shell-like things.
“Is this a real shell?”
"How can that be? It's made of flour."
The child scooped one with a spoon, slurped it, and the soup and noodles went into his mouth.
Delicious! And most importantly, it’s fun.
"Delicious, delicious, Dad, these shell noodles are better than noodles!"
The father barely bared his teeth and said, "If it tastes good, eat more!"
I didn’t even taste a single bite of the food at home, but I enjoyed the food from the street stalls.
He lowered his head and took a few more bites. He felt that the shell noodles were okay and more to his taste than the shredded pork noodles, so he became interested in recharging his membership.
"What are you talking about as a member? Tell me about it."
Liang Xiulan brought the cooked shredded pork noodles to the table and began to explain the membership mechanism to him.
Just top up five yuan and you'll become a member? From now on, you can always enjoy the promotion of giving away fries for a dime, and you can also get a dime off on regular fries purchases?
This activity is worthwhile.
"Son, do you want to become a member?"
"Yes, of course. This way I can have French fries every day."
It doesn’t matter whether he has food or not, as long as he can eat French fries every day, he is happy.
The father was also very happy to see his child eating shell noodles, and he could get French fries for one cent with the noodles, which was quite a deal.
Then he took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it over.
Liang Xiujuan, the cashier, quickly took the money, turned around, took out the membership book from the drawer, and handed it to the man.
"Sign your name and date here. The membership card will be ready and sent to you in a couple of days."
The man was stunned when he heard this. A membership costs five dollars, and it’s quite formal, with a membership card.
As soon as we registered one member, another one came over.
"Shell noodles? Are they made with shells?"
She was also attracted by the three words "shell noodles".
Liang Xiulan hurried forward to explain, and while explaining, she promoted her own membership mechanism.
Anyone who has eaten French fries, upon hearing that the price will increase in the future, will immediately become a member without hesitation.
Those who have never eaten French fries may hesitate for a while, but when they see the shell noodles, they will want to sit down and try them, and by the way, try what sweet and sour French fries are.
People are curious, and most customers come for the shell noodles.
However, the soup noodle stall and shredded pork noodle stall opposite were doing very bad business.
"Hey...what's going on?"
"There's nothing wrong with the noodles I made. They taste exactly the same. Why is no one here?"
In fact, those people had long been tired of eating shredded pork noodles, but they felt that the stall at the door was close, so they came here frequently to eat noodles.
Now that shell noodles are out, of course I have to try them.
The owner of the shredded pork noodles stall didn't sell many bowls the whole evening. He counted the money and found that he hadn't even sold ten bowls.
But the opposite side has been busy from the beginning until now. It was only eight o'clock, and the French fries and noodles were sold out. There were only a few shell noodles that had just been served.
Do they all live in the staff dormitory?
They are not from the factory, so how can they live in the staff dormitory?
He sat on the stool, watching Liang Xiulan busying around, wondering what was going on in his mind.
Half an hour later, the last bit of shell noodles Liang Xiulan took out was also sold out.
The mother, daughter and their two children quickly closed the stall, cleaned up, and pushed the cart back to the dormitory.
Jiang Jinzhou had been kneading shell noodles for the entire afternoon, and his hands were sore. He was stretching his wrists when he saw Liang Xiulan and the others coming back. He quickly pretended nothing was wrong and stood up from the bed.
"You're back? How's it going? How are the shell noodles?"
The mother, daughter and three of them had already agreed that they should not show that they were making a lot of money, so at this moment, they all looked calm.
"Let's leave it that way." Liang Xiulan said.
Jiang Jinzhou's smile faded slightly, and he chuckled, "Business is not that easy. As long as I can sell it, it's fine."
Liu Guizhi washed the dishes and several pots as usual.
As usual, Liang Xiulan sat at the table to calculate the costs and materials needed for tomorrow.
Liang Xiujuan had already counted the money and was now eating the remaining French fries happily.
I was still thinking about how to spend the money.
She also wanted a bicycle, but she had asked for it two or three times, but Liang Xiulan refused to buy it for her, saying that she had to save up 1,800 yuan before she would buy it.
How long will it take to save up this 1,800 yuan?
Besides, why did he have to save up 1,800 yuan? She didn't understand.
