464 The idea of opening a restaurant
The house is for the individual, and guests are not usually received.
But to Li Xiangyang, Chenchen and his friends were not ordinary guests.
"Business is good." said Su Taotao.
Li Xiangyang: "Not only is it good, my mom's hands are almost cramped from mixing the noodles! I don't know what you were thinking of coming out to eat noodles on New Year's Day. You guys sit down first, I'll serve you the food later."
Li Xiangyang was busy like a top. After settling them down, he rushed out to help, completely forgetting that Su Taotao's family was also one of the people who came out to eat noodles during the New Year.
But then again, there aren’t many restaurants open on New Year’s Day.
Li Xiangyang's family only receives regular customers, most of whom made reservations before the New Year.
After a busy year, who doesn’t want to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year?
They are a family workshop where they eat, live and do business in the same place, just like doing housework every day. They are used to it. They make money and can also make things convenient for others, so they don't take a break.
Of course, the person with the most opinions was Li Xiangyang. He was just a child and just wanted to go out and play.
In addition to fried noodles with soybean paste, the signature dishes of "Beijing's No. 1 Noodle House" now include mutton offal soup.
Singles who have enough money and are willing to go out for a feast on New Year's Day will most likely order a bowl of fried noodles with soybean paste, a bowl of mutton soup and a small plate of cold green bean sprouts.
Although there were many customers in the store, there were no customers like Su Taotao who came with their families.
People with families rarely go out to eat during the Chinese New Year.
In the north during winter, vegetables are not much cheaper than offal. The most stocked items are dried goods such as Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and day lily. Fresh vegetables such as mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts can be considered precious ingredients.
These three items were also served to Su Taotao and the others, along with an extra plate of dumplings.
"My mother made some pickled cabbage dumplings last night. They tasted great. You can try them."
Dumplings are not sold in the store; they are made by Li Xiangyang’s mother for her family to eat during the Chinese New Year.
When some old customers saw this, they all clamored for dumplings. Li Xiangyang's mother was generous and thought of it as a way of thanking the old customers, so she cooked another pot and gave a few to each of them to try.
The atmosphere instantly became much more lively.
Although the store doesn't sell many varieties, they are all very authentic. There is a reason why it can retain so many customers with just these three tricks.
Su Taotao picked up a piece of goat offal with chopsticks and ate it with Erba sauce. The more she ate, the better she thought it tasted:
"Mr. Fu, what do you think if I open a restaurant?"
Seeing that she liked to eat goat tripe, Fu Zhengtu picked out the goat tripe from his bowl and put it into her bowl:
"It's good, but it's too hard. I don't recommend you to earn your hard-earned money."
"I don't have to do it myself, I can just ask someone to do it." Su Taotao said.
Fu Zhengtu knew that she would not do anything without a purpose. She loved to make trouble, but she also had her own rules.
"You really want to do this?"
Su Taotao thought for a moment and said, "I think the restrictions will be relaxed in the future to allow individuals to open shops. I want to be one of the first to try it."
Su Taotao thought Fu Zhengtu would refute her, but he nodded and said, "The college entrance examination has been relaxed, so how can the others be far behind?"
Su Taotao gave him a thumbs up and said, "As expected of you, Mr. Fu. You always have such a sharp political sense."
"I plan to open a restaurant like this near the school. It doesn't need to be big, just hire a few people and have a few signature dishes to keep the customers."
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush; as long as the food in restaurants near schools is not bad, they can generally survive. If the food is delicious, it will attract many customers.
In the past, Su Taotao never thought about challenging the rules.
Even if he had traveled through time and space, he knew that reform and opening up would soon take place, and that allowing individuals to do business would not be considered breaking the law at all.
But she still worked obediently as a public servant, earning a meager salary for several years and devoting herself to the country.
It's not that great, but at least it has made some contribution to the well-being of the people.
Su Taotao knew that the great reform pioneer would propose a policy of reform and opening up this year, gradually relaxing restrictions on individual business.
Su Taotao needs the first pot of gold to pave the way for her future career, so she has to take a small step ahead of others from now on.
Otherwise, the "prophet"'s golden finger of time travel would be wasted.
So what small business can you do these days to make money faster?
The simplest and least risky thing is naturally eating.
Apart from anything else, it is unknown how much wealth Li Xiangyang's family has saved from this noodle shop.
The point is, she is also good at this. It would be a pity to have so many recipes in her head.
There are three people in my family who go to school, and there is a place for us to get together for lunch at noon, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
"Just do it if you want to, but don't tire yourself out," Fu Zhengtu knew she had her limits and wasn't short-sighted, so he was afraid she would work too hard. "My salary isn't destined to make me rich, but it's enough to support my family, so you don't have to work too hard."
Su Taotao smiled: "I know, Mr. Fu."
Chen Chen raised his little head from the bowl that was bigger than his face, and looked at Su Taotao with his big, sparkling eyes:
"Mom, are you going to open a noodle shop like this?"
Su Taotao sighed: "Keep your voice down. Mommy doesn't want to run a noodle shop anymore. Let's make something else."
Chenchen kept nodding and giving a thumbs up: "Everything mom cooks is delicious!", giving his mother high praise.
Su Taotao touched the child's head and said, "Thank you, Chenchen."
