The 168th barbecue stall opened.
Riemann refused Chen Xiaohui's offer, but Chen Xiaohui said, "Sixteen percent of the shares is too little, it's meaningless. If you won't lend me the money, then go borrow from someone else."
Riemann thought it made sense, so she borrowed 40,000 from Gu Ya.
Because we paid a transfer fee, we also had to pay a stall fee of 1,500 yuan per month, which would be 18,000 yuan a year. There were also barbecue equipment and other miscellaneous items to buy, which would add up to about 10,000 yuan.
And so, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui's barbecue stall finally took off.
With this stall, Riemann felt that her life had a future.
On the opening day, Li Man called Huo Jiansheng and asked him to come and support her.
She now truly considers Huo Jiansheng a friend.
Although the night market only opens at 5 p.m., the preparations beforehand are quite complicated.
Early in the morning, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui went to the market to buy the freshest meat and vegetables.
The beef and mutton she buys are all fresh; she would never substitute duck meat for beef.
She believes that customers aren't stupid. If they find something is fake, they won't come back. Doing business is like being a person; you must be honest and trustworthy to succeed in the long run.
Although building reputation may be slow in the early stages, once you have a good reputation, you will have more and more customers. Moreover, these customers are highly loyal and will only choose your store in the future, and they will also bring in new customers.
After returning from grocery shopping, Li Man first marinated the meat, then washed the vegetables and skewered them with bamboo sticks.
There are more than ten kinds of vegetables alone.
After skewering the vegetables, you have to skewer the marinated meats, which come in more than ten varieties, including chicken wings, chicken cartilage skewers, lamb chops, lamb, beef, pork belly, chicken legs, shrimp, squid, duck intestines, and so on.
The day passed by in a busy manner. They took a short break at noon, and then tidied up in the afternoon before setting up their stall.
On the first day of setting up a stall, it's inevitable to be busy and flustered.
With so many people, Li Man couldn't keep up with the grilling. For items like chicken wings and drumsticks that take longer to cook, other barbecue stalls would deep-fry them first before grilling, which was faster. But Li Man felt that deep-frying first didn't taste as good as grilling them directly, so she insisted on slowly grilling them over charcoal. However, while the food tasted better this way, it was slow. Customers couldn't wait and started urging her, which made Li Man very busy and flustered.
An Xin also came to help; she helped greet customers and collect money, while Chen Xiaohui and Li Man were in charge of grilling.
Huo Jiansheng arrived early and mingled in the crowd, watching Li Man go from being flustered at the beginning to being at ease later on, and sincerely admired her.
Although she was extremely busy, she always had a smile on her face.
Her smile was so infectious that people would involuntarily stop and take a look at what delicious food she had at her stall.
Huo Jiansheng watched for a while before walking over.
Seeing Huo Jiansheng, Li Man was very happy. "You're here! Order whatever you want to eat, it's on me."
Huo Jiansheng smiled and said, "I'm here to support your business today, how can I let you treat me? Let's skip it today and treat you another day."
Riemann chuckled and said, "Okay, thank you then. What do you want to eat? I'll grill it for you. My food is absolutely fresh, so you can eat with peace of mind."
Huo Jiansheng ordered almost everything, and Li Man said, "You've ordered so much, can you finish it all?"
Huo Jiansheng said, "I'll take it back for my family to eat. Don't worry, I definitely won't waste any food."
