Chapter 414 Business is booming
"This thing looks messy, how can it be delicious?"
An Yue said calmly: "Madam, please try it first. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."
The lady winked at the maid beside her, and the maid walked forward and took a plate and a pair of clean chopsticks.
The maid picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, placed it on the dish, and brought it to the woman.
The woman took the chopsticks, picked up the food, covered her face and put it in her mouth.
As soon as he chewed it, his expression changed immediately.
"This taste is so... so unique, it's more interesting than what I ate in those big restaurants!"
At this moment, an old man came over and said, "Give me a dish too. I want to see what's so special about this thing."
The old man picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it.
He quickly picked up another piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, nodding while chewing, "Hmm, it's a new idea, a new idea! Come on, I want to cook one too."
Then, a group of people watching from behind began to say:
“I’ll cook one too.”
"I also want."
"I……."
An Yue smiled at the counter and said, "Everyone go pick out the ingredients first, and then bring them to me."
......
After a while, a long line began to form in the shop.
An Yue counted the bamboo sticks and collected the silver.
Daniu and Ale were busy in the kitchen.
My aunt and Chunzhi were responsible for clearing the dishes and wiping the table in the dining room.
After the food is served in the kitchen, Auntie and Chunzhi are responsible for delivering the cooked spicy hot pot to the customers.
In this way, the whole family was busy.
An Nian came to the shop from school to have lunch and also helped to wipe the table.
After lunch, he went to school again.
......
Before I knew it, it was already past noon.
There were not many people on the street, and the family was so tired that they sat down on the bench in the dining room.
Chunzhi and her aunt-in-law gently patted their thighs, while Daniu and Ale rubbed their arms.
An Yue looked at the wooden basins in the vegetable selection area and saw that everything had been sold out, and she was delighted.
Just then, two more customers suddenly came in.
One of the men said, "I heard that your spicy hotpot is very delicious, so we came here specially to try it."
An Yue stepped forward and explained with a smile: "My two brothers, I'm sorry! Today's sales are too fast, and all the dishes we prepared have been sold out one by one."
"Ah! It seems we have come at an unfortunate time."
"How about you two come over early tomorrow?"
Another man said unwillingly: "It is really popular. It seems that we should come early tomorrow to try this spicy hot pot to see what it tastes like."
"Okay, okay, I'm really sorry. Come over tomorrow, brothers, and I'll give you two a free fried egg each. How about that?"
"Okay! It's a deal."
"It's a deal." An Yue repeated firmly.
Then the two men turned and walked out of the shop.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them leave.
Chunzhi clasped her hands together and said, "I didn't expect that we prepared so many vegetables and meats, but they were all sold out in one morning."
The aunt rubbed her right shoulder with her left hand and said, "It seems that we have to prepare more tomorrow."
An Yue walked up to them and sat down, smiling happily, "Thank you for your hard work today. Next, everyone guess how much money was sold for."
An Yue kept the secret, and everyone looked at each other with curiosity on their faces.
Daniu couldn't help but say, "Miss, please don't... don't keep us in suspense, just come to us quickly... quickly."
An Yue smiled and held up five fingers, saying, "It's more than five taels of silver!"
Everyone stared with eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on their faces.
The eldest aunt's face was full of surprise and asked, "What? More than five taels of silver?"
An Yue smiled and nodded.
The aunt clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Oh my goodness, this is unimaginable! We can earn more than five taels of silver in just one morning."
Chunzhi also said excitedly: "If we continue like this, our family will become wealthy in the future."
An Yue said to everyone: "This is just the beginning. Once we become famous in the town and come up with more ideas, business will definitely be better."
Ale grinned and said, "By then, we may have to hire a few more people."
An Yue thought for a moment and said, "Yes! If we are too busy in the future, we can hire someone else, but we have to find someone we can trust."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After everyone had rested for a while, they put the tables and chairs in the shop in order.
After Daniu Ale cleaned the kitchen, the family closed the shop, shut the door and prepared to return to the village.
The family walked along the main street carrying baskets on their backs. An Yue said to everyone, "When we earn more money and have more money, we will buy a mule cart."
Ale repeated incredulously: "Buy a mule cart?"
An Yue said as they walked. "Yes! We bought a mule cart, so we don't have to walk every day to get home."
"Great, great! Then, Da Niu and I will drive the ox cart every day, and we will all sit at the back. How happy that will be!" Just thinking about it, Ale became energized.
Several people walked in front, each with a hopeful look on their face.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were walking at the end whispered, "Mom, Yueyue is really amazing!"
"Look! These spinach and cabbage that we usually see are now profitable after she turned them into this. Don't you think this is magical?"
Grandmother Zhou nodded and said, "This girl is indeed extraordinary."
"But... Mom, do you think this girl still hates us?"
Grandmother Zhou sighed deeply and said, "Alas! In the past, we were really blinded by that idiot! We had such a good and blessed life, but we pushed it out the door!"
Aunt Zhang said thoughtfully: "Let's follow this girl wholeheartedly in the future. We should also pay more attention to her and comfort her more on weekdays. I think it will gradually ease the gap between her and us."
Grandmother Zhou said with some regret, "Yes! Over the years, we old couple have owed the second family."
When the eldest aunt heard what her mother-in-law said, she said unhappily, "Now you feel that you owe the second family, then we..."
Zhou stopped walking and before Zhang finished speaking, she interrupted, "Why? Do you think we old couple are not good enough to you?"
"Mom, that's not what I meant..."
The eldest aunt didn't know how to explain and continued, "Well, our old house was burned down anyway, and in the end it was the same, we suffered the pain of being homeless!"
"You should always remember this! If you want to stay in this family for a long time, you should speak and act more quickly! Especially your stupid head, you must be clear-headed!"
The eldest aunt nodded and said, "Yes, yes, mother, you are absolutely right."
