Chapter 339 Business is booming
Both Li Xin and his son ordered the signature noodles, fried tofu and vegetarian chicken, and two seasonal cold dishes.

Li Xin was not in a hurry to go out, but watched with great interest that Mrs. Qiu was cooking noodles there. Cooked fried tofu, a few blanched chicken feathers, pour a few spoonfuls of noodle broth, and a bowl of noodle noodles is ready to serve.If you have a strong taste, you can also add soy sauce, chopped green onion, and lard and mix well according to your personal preference, so that it will taste more delicious. If you add a spoonful of hot sauce, it will be the icing on the cake.

Li Xin looked at the colorful and fragrant noodles, even if he ate too much delicacies, he couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

Li Xin and his son waited for a short time, and the noodles they ordered came first. Li Jian couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. As soon as the soup was eaten, he couldn't help sighing: "Well, it's delicious. !" This clear soup is moderately salty, mixed with the unique fragrance of green vegetables and soy products, and it really has an endless aftertaste.

Take another bite of the noodle knot. Although it is wrapped in layers, the skin immediately bursts open when you bite it lightly. The juice in the meat stuffing takes the opportunity to slide down the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue. It is not greasy or meaty. The body brings instant gratification.Although there are no expensive ingredients in the noodles in clear soup this night, for the locals, its delicacy is not inferior to those seafood delicacies.

Li Xin and his son finished a bowl of noodles in two or three mouthfuls, and there was not even soup left, but obviously they still had something to say, and after climbing the mountain for so long, eating just one bowl was really not enough, so they called Baozi asked her to serve another bowl.

But Baozi said with a smile: "Master Xin, there is no charge for extra noodles in our store. If you want to add additional side dishes, you only need to pay for the side dishes separately."

Li Xin was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he realized that this is really a good way to keep guests. He is also in business, so he naturally knew the key points, so he praised: "This is a good idea, it was your eldest sister who thought about it." of?"

Baozi shook his head and replied: "Young Master Shanqing mentioned that the people in this academy are young and middle-aged people with a good appetite. The portion of a bowl of noodles may not be enough, but if the noodles are too big, they won't look good or taste good. , I thought of such a way to continue the meeting."

Li Xin nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Jiang Shanqing is really a good businessman. He was the one who came up with the idea to revitalize his bookstore. Now his bookstore is already in the state capital bookstore. Not only has the store expanded a lot, but also opened a branch store. Those scholars who want to buy books will be the first to think of his bookstore. If his son is half as clever as that kid, why should he worry about his family fortune? Wang ah.

Li Jian didn't know that his father was complaining in his heart that he was not as clever as others, so he asked Baozi to refill two taels of noodles, and added a bundle of dough knots and a fried egg as a side dish.Waiting for the noodles to come up again.

The father and son ate another two taels of noodles, and they were full. They couldn't eat any more, so they called Baozi to pay the bill.

Baozi smiled and calculated for the two of them. The two bowls of noodles cost 45 Wen in total, the other side dishes also cost [-] Wen, plus a few dishes of cold dishes, [-] Wen. The total is [-] Wen, which is a half discount. That is [-] texts.

It didn't even have half a penny. Li Xin and his son felt that it was really affordable. They were about to give the money when Li Meier came out and said, "Sanbo, you are a relative of my own family. This is naturally invited by my junior. You Just help us spread the word.”

Li Xin shook his head quickly when he heard this, "Mei'er, this is a small business, and you don't have much money at first. How can I take advantage of you again? I must give you the money, otherwise I will have nowhere to put my old face."

"Sanbo, this meal is my private invitation to you. If you feel embarrassed, you can invite me to Baiweilou for a meal later. After all, I earned it." Li Meier blinked playfully. , said jokingly.

After Li Meier said this, Li Xin stopped insisting, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would treat the Li family to a good meal.

Just like Li Xin's noodle eating experience, the customers who come to Li Meier's store to eat noodles feel that the food is delicious and affordable, and they have decided to use this place as a dining hall in the future. They also heard that the store also serves breakfast in the morning. Three meals a day are settled in this shop.

Li Meier's family was busy until Xushi, when it was dark, and then they closed, but there were still many customers who did not line up, and they left very disappointed, and could only wait for tomorrow to come earlier.

After seeing off the last customer, the group of people finally came down, tidied up the store roughly, and calculated today's income.

This is not ignorance. I was shocked. Just at noon and night today, a total of more than 200 bowls of noodles were sold. A bowl of noodles costs fifteen yuan, and a fifty percent discount is eight yuan. Two taels of silver, not counting the other side dishes and cold dishes.At the end of the day, the total income was more than [-] taels. In fact, it should not have been so much. It is just that many people have applied for membership cards and recharged money in advance, and finally they have so much.

"Hey, this business is really profitable." Sister-in-law Qiu couldn't help muttering, thinking that her monthly salary is only two taels of silver, and she needs to work for four months in eight years, but she can earn money in just one day after opening the shop. up.

Li Meier heard her words, but said with a smile: "It's not too much, sister-in-law Qiu, you didn't count the cost, we buy rice, noodles and vegetable oil, the cost is about two taels, plus you and brother A The salary is actually not that much. After all, our store is small and the prices of the dishes are not high, but our store has already been bought, so we don’t need to pay another monthly rent, otherwise the profit will be even thinner.

Sister-in-law Qiu did some calculations again, thinking that even if the rent was added, it would still be a net profit, so she thought about it in her heart, and when she had saved enough capital, she might as well open a shop by herself and work for others. Work for yourself.

After finishing the calculation, Mrs. Jiang gave out red envelopes to everyone as a reward for their day's hard work. Although the money was not a lot, everyone was very happy to get the money.

Because it was getting late and it was too late to go down the mountain, everyone in the Li family decided to spend the night in Siming Town on the mountainside, and return to the state capital when the morning dawned.

In order to make it easier for them to open their shop every day, Mrs. Qiu and Ada thought of renting a cheap small courtyard in Siming Town. It doesn't need to be too big, two rooms are enough, so it will be much cheaper for them to travel to the mountains on weekdays.
