Chapter 65

"Cracking~" The sound of firecrackers' Dou Kee Noodle Shop opened.

The bursts of firecrackers attracted the attention of people coming and going. Some people stopped to watch the excitement. People looked around curiously. The noodle shop that was closed before reopened.

Dou Hua wore a homemade apron embroidered with the words Dou Ji Noodle House, and stood at the door with Li Shi who was also dressed the same way, saying, "Today is a good day for the opening of Dou Ji Noodle Shop. All noodles are half price." There is no cash charge for those who enter the store to eat, everyone is welcome to try the handicrafts of the small shop, keep the delicious food, eat it once and want to eat it a second time.”

After Dou Hua finished speaking, she stamped a wooden sign at the door with the names and prices of various pasta written on it. In order to attract people, Dou Hua also asked a painting master to draw a general appearance of each pasta.

People look at the novelty and the price is not expensive, so they enter the shop thinking about it. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. After entering the noodle shop, the eight small tables for four people inside were full of people, all looking forward to eating a bowl of delicious noodles.

Opened today on the first day, Dou Hua launched three types of noodles, fried sauce noodles, tomato stewed noodles, and hot and sour soup noodles.The people who entered the store ordered noodles according to their own preferences, because the noodles had been boiled in cold water before, and they were afraid of sticking together, so they tripped over with oil, fried sauce, marinated tomatoes, and hot and sour soup were all made in advance Alright, now you just need to serve up the noodles, put a handful of shredded cucumbers on it, scoop a spoonful of side dishes according to the customer's requirements, and pour different sauces on it.

Today, Dou Qing and Dou Cui came with them. The two of them were in charge of serving the bowls. There were enough people and the speed was very fast. People could eat the bowls quickly without waiting too long.

There are soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil and various seasonings on the table, even garlic. If you feel that the taste is not enough, you can adjust the taste yourself.

In addition to the noodles, Dou Hua served a side dish for each table. This side dish is pickled hot and sour cucumber. It tastes refreshing and appetizing. It is also good to eat with noodles.

The noodles are strong, and the various side dishes are delicious, and the ingredients are also sufficient, especially the noodles with fried sauce, which are cut with real diced meat, which tastes very appetizing and refreshing.

The summer was originally muggy, and people lost their appetite a lot, but after eating the cold noodles, they were so refreshing and appetizing that some people couldn't help asking for a second bowl.

Eating noodles is a quick thing. Soon someone ate the noodles and left the shop with a satisfied face. They didn’t forget to spread the word to their neighbors and friends.
"Brother Li, there's a new noodle shop opened on East Street. The noodles are really delicious. It's the first day it opened today. It's sold at half price. It's only four Wen. It's a big bowl, and there are free side dishes. Why don't you try it? taste."

"Really? It's so delicious. I haven't eaten yet, so I'll go and have a look."

With the publicity of some diners, a group of people soon came to the shop. Many people's ideas are not for the taste, but the most important thing is that it is cheap, which is more affordable than doing it by yourself. How can such a good thing be missed? Well, so the guests came wave after wave.

Zhajiang noodles are the best seller, although it is one copper plate more expensive than plain noodles, people still love meat, so they all want Zhajiang noodles, and the other two kinds of noodles are almost as expensive, but they are all sold out in the end. All the bowls of noodles were sold out, and there are probably more than 100 bowls of noodles.

In this way, at least 100 people came here to eat noodles, but many people, the noodles were sold out, and those who came late and didn’t eat it were a bit regretful, especially when someone praised how delicious the noodles were. , My heart was itchy even more, and I came to eat noodles early the next morning.

After working for a long time, although they sold more than 100 bowls of noodles, they didn't transfer many copper coins at all. On the first day of their sales, they were selling at the cost price. In the end, they transferred about [-] copper coins.

Dou Hua and Li Shi calculated the cost before. The noodles are solid white noodles, with various side dishes and seasonings. A bowl of plain noodles costs eight yuan, and meat noodles sells for ten yuan. Excluding the cost, a bowl of noodles can earn about four yuan. , because the shop is my own, and my family members contribute, there is no additional expenses, and I can earn more or less.

If so, Li Shi and Dou Hua are also very happy counting the copper coins, these are the fruits of their hard day's labor.

The next day was much better. Although there were fewer people eating noodles, the price was raised. The noodles tasted good, and people would come to eat them. The second day earned more than 300 copper coins, and the third day I earned more than 200 copper plates, and my subsequent income has been fluctuating around [-] copper plates.

Selling noodles for a month can earn seven or eight taels of silver. According to the agreement, Dou Hua and Dou Sishan's two families will share equally, and each family can earn a few taels of silver.

Dou Hua didn't care too much about the money she earned. There is no shortage of money in the family now, and she can earn a lot of money by going up the mountain by herself. She mainly wants to make a long-term livelihood for her family. There are more siblings in the county. Walking around can also gain insights. This is also the first family business she earned for the younger Dou family. When Dou Qing grows up and takes a wife, let them take over, and she will live without worry in the future. up.

Although the noodle shop has been opened, the work in the family's field has not stopped. There are small children and a herd of livestock at home, so we can't let it go. From [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm) during this period, there will be no business in the morning and evening, so they come to the county from Doujia Village, and they can take care of the family when they come back and forth. The only thing is that Xiaohuizi runs errands, thanks .

In order to reward Little Huizi for his great contribution, Dou Hua fed him two pancakes in the morning and evening, and he had something to eat, but he didn't get emotional.

Now that the two are working together to open a shop, the work in the field is done together by Teng Konger, so there are so many people, the work is done quickly, and the family also takes care of each other.

Within a few days, news of Dou's shop opening spread in Dou's village, and it became the biggest topic in the village for a while. No one envied it.
"Hey, have you heard that this girl from the Dou family, Dou Hua, opened a noodle restaurant in the county town, and I heard that the business is doing very well," said the lady of the Li family.

"I've heard it a long time ago. The head of my family has been to his noodle shop, and he gave him a bowl of noodles. I heard from him that the noodles are really delicious. What are they called cold noodles? They are strong and appetizing. I ate them. I want to eat a second bowl after one bowl." Sun's daughter-in-law said.

"What's more, when I go to the city some other day, I have to go and see, and taste the difference between her noodles and ours." The lady of the Li family said.

"That's right, her aunt is still picking up vegetables at my house, which is used in the noodle restaurant." Sister-in-law Dou said.

"This Dou Hua girl is a lucky one. She survived a catastrophe when she was hit with a stick on the head, but she has become more and more capable. Now that she has even opened a shop, how much money will it cost? We dare not even think about it." Yes I do."

"That's right, that girl's head is also very lively. I heard from my head that her noodles have several varieties, and they are delicious just by looking at them." Aunt Li said.

"In the past, she was not showy, why is she so powerful now, even men can't match her skills." Sun's daughter-in-law said.

"I see, this is also forced. The parents at home are not here, and there are still a few younger ones at home. If you don't want to find a way, can you support them?" Mrs. Li said.

"That's reasonable..." Others echoed.

A few women in the village were enjoying the shade under the big pagoda tree, holding their shoe soles and chatting gossipingly. After all, they were always inseparable from Dou Hua's family. Who made Dou Hua's performance so outstanding? , first ignore it.

Dou Ershan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, could hear praises and comments about Dou Hua wherever she went, and she felt very uncomfortable. When she heard that Dou Hua and Dou Sishan's family jointly opened a noodle restaurant, she was even more angry.She is the kind of person who can't eat grapes and says grapes are sour. She can't see other people's goodness, and she gets angry when she hears that others are better than her.
