Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Jian Li ran out after class, and Cheng Yu's original urge to eat for free was instantly put to rest.

Cheng Yu put on her schoolbag listlessly and went to the carport to push the bike. Recently, her aunt always cooked different kinds of cabbage for her. She didn't know if it was because the weather was cold and cabbage became the cheapest vegetable on the market.

Every day they eat tofu stewed with cabbage, or cabbage stewed with vermicelli. Cheng Yu feels sick when he sees cabbage.

The dishes she hates are basically the ones she eats over and over again.

When he walked to the door, Cheng Yu smelled a nice aroma. It was sour and spicy, Cheng Yu wondered.

Why does this smell so familiar?

After smelling it for a while, Cheng Yu confirmed it.

This is the taste of the hot and sour noodles that Jane Li’s mother makes for herself!

There were many students around her who were unable to move because of the aroma like her, and they turned their handlebars while smelling it.

Cheng Yu also pedaled his bike as fast as he could, following the direction of the scent to the next street.

The newly opened store was all red, and the big sign was particularly eye-catching.

evergreen restaurant.

The reason why it is called Changqing is because the street is called Changqing Street.

Wang Mengmei greeted the hungry students who had just finished their classes in the store: "Hot and sour noodles and spicy hot pot. Hot and sour noodles are 1.5 yuan per portion, and spicy hot pot is 2 yuan per portion."

Malatang is an improvement on the hot and sour rice noodle, and the taster is still a picky person.

In the face of Wang Mengmei's skeptical eyes, Jian Li asked for more spiciness again and again. In the end, Wang Mengmei was so spicy that she looked for water after taking a bite.

“It’s so spicy, is anyone going to eat it?”

Wang Mengmei asked while pouring water.

Jian Li's mouth turned red from the spiciness, but she ate very vigorously, with beads of sweat glistening on her forehead.

"Someone must have eaten it."

There is no one who doesn’t love Malatang!

Wang Mengmei finally believed Jian Li and added malatang to the menu, although Jian Li suggested that she put the dish in strings so that everyone could choose.

"The price will be higher this way. If there are more people, they can sell it at a higher price."

But Wang Mengmei rejected it: "It takes too much time to make skewers, and we don't have enough staff in the store right now."

This time it is because the store on the first floor is a wide storefront, but strictly speaking, it is actually two storefronts.

That's why Wang Mengmei thought of dividing the store into two parts. One part would be used for student business, selling malatang and hot and sour noodles, and the other part would remain as a small restaurant.

When it comes to student business, Wang Mengmei’s main strategy is quick, flat and profitable.

Just use disposable paper boxes to save time on washing dishes.

Both hot and sour noodles and spicy hot pot are made by boiling a pot of soup base, preparing the ingredients and base flavors in advance, and the rest is to divide the vegetables and staple foods. When a student comes, just put the vegetables in, put four colanders in a pot, and you can make four portions in three or two minutes.

High efficiency, fast turnover, and saves trouble.

The most important thing is that once she improves the taste, she won’t have to do this herself.

Wang Mengmei originally thought that business might not be that good at the beginning, so she could also ask other customers for their opinions.

Who would have thought that on the first day of opening, her shop would be packed with students.

"Auntie, I want some hot and sour noodles!"

"Spicy hotpot!"

"I want two portions of spicy hotpot and three steamed buns!"

…

Wang Mengmei was sweating anxiously: "Come one by one, how spicy do you want the ma la tang to be?"

The sign in the store says "Extra spicy, spicy, medium spicy, slightly spicy".

Many people chose spicy right away.

"Don't worry, I can handle spicy food!"

"Auntie, I want an extra spicy one!"

"Wow, you want it really spicy, be careful or I'll make you cry!"

"Huh, who's crying? I'm an expert at eating spicy food!"

…

A group of people were chattering. Jian Li put on an apron and helped her mother maintain order and collect money.

When Jian Li heard someone bragging about being an expert at eating spicy food, she turned around and looked at his face.

She determines the spiciness of the food in this restaurant bite by bite.

She won't allow anyone to take away her title as a spicy food expert!

"Come on, come on, line up!"

As soon as Jian Li maintained order, the students lined up naturally.

Jian Li had her hair tied in a ponytail and her skin was fair and shiny. As soon as she spoke, the boys who had been coming around to her just now stopped laughing and exchanged glances with sighs.

What a beautiful young lady!

Seeing that there were too many people, Jian Li simply took out a pen and started writing numbers.

Each person has an account, and when you send messages, you will see classmates in your class.

Jian Li greeted him, but the other party felt embarrassed.

"Student Jian Li, are you working part-time here to pay for your studies?"

Jian Li said frankly: "No, this is my family's store. My mother opened it."

The classmate said awkwardly: "Oh, that's good."

Jian Li: "Would you like spicy hotpot or hot and sour noodles?"

Classmate: "Malatang, please."

"How spicy do you want it?"

“I want it medium spicy.”

Jian Li stopped writing and kindly advised, "I suggest you choose a slightly spicy one."

The classmate laughed dryly and said, "That's fine."

Jian Li wrote a micro in the notebook and then tore a piece of paper for her.

Jian Li walked a few steps away, and then the classmate patted his chest.

So embarrassing.

The classmate closest to her asked her, "Is she in your class?"

"Yes. She's the most beautiful girl in our class."

"Is this what the class beauty sells at home?"

The student who was speaking stuck out his tongue and said, "She doesn't mind being ugly."

Although this classmate had no contact with Jian Li, she felt angry when he said something bad about Jian Li.

"How can you talk like that? What's wrong with selling this? You're still queuing here! If you have the guts, then don't eat it!"

“…I didn’t say anything!”

"Why didn't you say anything? What's wrong with him selling hot and sour noodles? He got rich through hard work without stealing or robbing. People in our class don't complain about it, so why would you complain?"

"…Are you crazy? What does it have to do with you?"

"It's my business! This is a student from our class! He represents our class!"

"You're really sick..."

…

This small dispute ended with the logic student switching seats with someone else.

Although Jian Li didn't know what happened, when the call came to Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu was extremely happy.

"Xiao Li, your mother is really here to open a shop!"

Cheng Yu jumped with joy.

"Auntie is so nice. I want to eat here every day from now on!"

Jian Li tore off the note: "Okay, I welcome you."

How can it not be a good thing if it can help her mother gain popularity?

Wang Mengmei cooked four portions in one pot and quickly shortened the line.

Jian Li was running around, and Wang Mengmei didn't think anything of it at first, but she also heard someone pointing fingers at Jian Li.

Wang Mengmei suddenly realized that if Jian Li came to help, it would seem to embarrass her daughter.

"Little Pear!"

Wang Mengmei had just taken a breath when she called Jian Li.

Jian Li trotted over: "What's wrong?"

Wang Mengmei was about to say something, but when she saw her daughter wearing a dirty apron, she quickly went over to take it off and said, "The store is not busy anymore, go do what you need to do. I'll let your sister Lingling come over tomorrow."

Jian Li didn't understand: "Why ask Sister Lingling to come over? She is still needed there. Besides, it's only during this period of time, I'm here to help you."

It's not busy at all. I just need to help write orders and serve meals at mealtime.

Wang Mengmei still felt that it was not good enough: "I will recruit people."

Jian Li found it even more strange: "It doesn't cost money to hire people? Forget it."

All the money in the family has been emptied out by this house, so where would we get the money to hire more people?

Jian Li pushed her mother and said, "You are just imagining things. Here, this portion is for Cheng Yu. Mom, put more peanuts in it for Cheng Yu."

Wang Mengmei became even more nervous: "Cheng Yu is here too?"

Jian Li pointed at Cheng Yu who was wiping the table in the corner and said, "Over there!"

Wang Mengmei: …

"Jian Li! Why did you ask your classmate to wipe the table!"

Jian Li: "I'm busy, she took the initiative!"

As they were talking, the classmate who had ordered the slightly spicy hot pot with Jian Li also came over.

"Jian Li, where are your chopsticks?"

Jian Li: "I'll get it for you."

The student waved his hands and said, "No need, just point and I'll get it myself."

After Jian Li pointed it out, the student not only took the chopsticks and filled the chopstick holder on his own table, but also filled the chopstick holders on several tables around.

Jian Li thanked her through the crowd: "Do you want some steamed buns? They're made by my mom with white sugar!"

The student was so hot from the spicy food that he didn't know what to do. Hearing this, he shouted, "Yes!"

Jian Li handed the pancake to her and went to look for the spicy food expert who had ordered the extra spicy one.

The little expert in eating spicy food was also in tears at this moment, but his mouth was harder than anything else.

“It’s not spicy, it’s hot!”

The classmate next to him had already given up and was rinsing vegetables in the water: "Come on, why don't you say it's spicy?"

But it's well named.

Spicy hotpot!

It's hot, spicy, and numbing!
