Yang Xiaoqin feels that with Sister Gu's cooking skills, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that she is a chef in a restaurant.
It's so delicious.
She can eat two portions of this lunch box by herself.
Gu Ning smiled and tasted it for herself. She was used to eating it, but she didn't think it was too delicious. It was just that everyone in her family was good at cooking. After she got used to eating it at home, she was not used to eating it outside.
I don’t think the food cooked by others tastes good.
"As long as you think it tastes good, it means it can be sold."
Because it was the first day of opening, their stall did not dare to prepare too much food for fear of getting it in their hands. Gu Ning had discussed with Wu Xiuling before and prepared a hundred box lunches.
There are also 100 portions of fried rice noodles and 100 portions of fried rice noodles, which add up to about 300 portions.
This number was estimated by Gu Ning based on the flow of people in Houjie. She had observed it for several days.
Houjie’s passenger flow is around 1,500 to 2,500 people every night.
This time period lasts until twelve o'clock in the evening, or one o'clock.
She asked Wu Xiuling to prepare three hundred meals according to the calculation, which was based on about 15% of the data. On the first day of opening, many people did not know, and she also had to calculate whether some people had already eaten by themselves.
.
Therefore, there is not much preparation.
All I can say is that we will take the lead first, test the depth of the water, and then slowly prepare the ingredients again based on the latest customer flow.
After Gu Ning was almost ready, Wu Xiuling also negotiated a stall and came back with two big bags of rice noodles and rice noodles that had been ordered in advance.
She is obviously a thin and small person, but I don't know how she can lift it.
Yang Xiaoqin heard the commotion and rushed to pick it up, "Sister Wu, why didn't you call me to pick you up."
Wu Xiuling wiped her sweat and said, "It's not necessary, it only weighs a few dozen kilograms in total."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Is the rice steamed?"
Gu Ning nodded, "I steamed grains and dried them. Look, it's a big bucket."
I steamed it in two pots and put it in a wooden barrel. I couldn't afford the supply of white rice, so brown rice was added to mix it in.
That's it, it's already a pretty good meal.
Wu Xiuling nodded, "That's probably enough."
"Come on, I'll load up all the cars and go to Houjie to play forward first."
Food stalls are different from other stalls. Other stalls wait for customers after seven o'clock, but food stalls face more small vendors doing business.
These people all went to Houjie in advance to prepare goods, and what Gu Ning and Wu Xiuling had to do was to eat the first wave of customers here and make their reputation known.
For this reason, Gu Ning and Wu Xiuling specially made a sign for the stall. It was simply called Wu's Snacks.
Gu Ning was worried that Wu Xiuling would take care of the stall alone. After thinking about it, she went along with her, along with Yang Xiaoqin, although the stall had not officially opened yet.
But most of them are nervous and uneasy.
Seeing the two of them like this, Wu Xiuling joked, "I think it's me who needs to be nervous, okay? I just practiced fried rice noodles and fried rice yesterday. I don't know what will happen today?"
It's not easy for her to handle two pots by herself.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "Let's go take a look first."
In fact, she has no idea either.
They come early. Customers arrive at Houjie after seven o'clock. The vendors usually come around six o'clock, but there are also those who come early and come as early as five o'clock.
Gu Ning and Wu Xiuling chose a place not far from the clothing stall before them, which happened to be at the corner of a busy intersection.
When they set up a stall here, the person standing opposite the stall was obviously stunned for a moment, "Boss Wu, are you adding a new stall?"
They were all old people running stalls, but Wu Xiuling soon opened two stalls by herself, which was eye-catching enough.
How long has it been?
This third stall has opened again.
Wu Xiuling smiled and nodded, "Yes, but don't worry, Qian Chuan Zi, I won't compete with you for business."
After saying that, she took out the things on the trolley one after another, including pots and pans.
Qian Chuanzi was stunned again, "Are you doing food?" His real name was Qian Chuan, but it has been a long time, and he likes to get into Qian's eyes.
Later, everyone nicknamed him Qian Chuan Zi.
Wu Xiuling nodded, and Yang Xiaoqin helped unload the barrels and placed them on the steps aside. As for the lunch box, Gu Ning placed it alone on the other side of the trolley.
They were all packed lunch boxes, packed in foam boxes, and covered with a quilt. The last thing they took out were bags of rice noodles, etc., which were placed directly on the table of the trolley.
You can see it at a glance.
Wu Xiuling pursed her lips and said, "Look, aren't these all laid out?"
Qian Chuanzi's eyes were shining. He was a businessman. How could he not know how good this business was? Making snacks and buying meals were exclusive crafts in Houjie. It was almost expected that he would make crazy money.
That is, why didn't he think of it?
Qian Chuanzi slapped his forehead subconsciously.
Wu Xiuling is such a shrewd person. He immediately saw the other person's hidden meaning.
She smiled slightly and said, "You make a lot of money from Qian Chuanzi. Who doesn't know this in Houjie? Can't you fall in love with this food business? Selling food is hard money. I go to the market to buy ingredients at three or four in the morning.
I cook next to the stove in the 40-degree heat every day, and at night I have to cook rice for everyone under the smoky fire. I am so exhausted that I am sweating profusely. To be honest, can you do Qian Chuanzi?"
Qian Chuan Zi is currently the most profitable business in Houjie. It sells electronic products, including large ones such as stereos, small ones such as film cameras, expensive watches, and Tetris game consoles for children.
The supply of these products can only be found in Qianchuanzi in Houjie, so he can be regarded as the big brother in the monopoly industry.
All you make is big money.
Unlike Wu Xiuling and others who sell these small items, they earn a small amount of money, which is also hard-earned money.
When Wu Xiuling said this, Qian Chuanzi shuddered. He even ate for himself three times a day. Sometimes he ate outside, sometimes he ate at his brother's house. Anyway, he was hungry and satiated.
If you ask him to sell food, he will definitely not be able to do it. He doesn't even want to take care of his own five internal organs temple.
Qian Chuanzi squatted on the ground, thought for a long time, and finally sniffed his nose, "Fried pork belly?"
"Is it fried pork belly? Do you have this dish? Give me one."
He stood up and followed the smell. He came here on an empty stomach to set up the stall. He drank at his brother's house at noon. After drinking too much, he didn't realize he was hungry, so he came directly to set up the stall. The smell was right.
The food at Bajing’s home smells good.
Wu Zang Temple was awakened and very hungry.
Gu Ning glanced at Wu Xiuling. She was not familiar with this money string. After all, she had just come to Houjie a few days ago.
Wu Xiuling nodded towards Gu Ning, "Ning Ning, give Boss Qian a copy and let him evaluate our food. If it's delicious, help us advertise it."
This means letting the other party eat for free.
Gu Ning picked a box and handed it to Qian Chuanzi. Qian Chuanzi rubbed his hands and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "How is this good? How is this good?"
They are all businessmen, so you can't hear Wu Xiuling's voiceover.
He said this, but he was not polite at all. He took the lunch box directly, opened it, and saw radish, pork belly, and fried winter melon slices. They were placed in a foam box to keep them warm, and the weather was hot.
These meals are still hot.
The aroma of rice that hit his face made Qian Chuanzi swallow subconsciously. He picked it up with chopsticks and took a big mouthful. He stir-fried the radish with pork. The radish slices were soaked with the smell of pork belly. He ate the radish.
, as if eating meat, extremely fragrant.
The pork belly was lightly fried, giving off the meaty aroma. Not only was the mouth full of oil and water in one bite, it also went well with rice. As for the winter melon slices, they were a bit sweet, which just relieved the greasiness of the pork belly.
Take another bite of rice. The rice grains are soaked in the soup of fried radish and meat. They are plump and have a bit of salty aroma.
tasty.
It's so delicious.
In just three minutes, Qian Chuanzi finished the whole box of lunch. You know, Gu Ning made sure the portions were generous in order to attract repeat customers.
Whether it's meat, vegetables, or rice, they're all pressed into porcelain and filled to the brim, definitely enough for an adult.
However, it took less than three minutes for the money to arrive in Qian Chuanzi's hands.
Qian Chuanzi hiccupped, feeling a little unfinished, "Can I have another box?"
For this kind of boss, they can definitely afford a box of lunch.
However, Gu Ning thought more, so she smiled and said, "Why don't you try our fried noodles or fried rice? You have to try them."
this--
Qian Chuanzi glanced at Gu Ning, a little curious, but without Wu Xiuling's introduction, he didn't take the initiative to ask who Gu Ning was. He happily gave Gu Ning the face.
"Okay, then bring me some fried rice noodles."
For businessmen like them, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be asked and what should not be asked.
It's all clear.
A child like Gu Ning, who is handsome and upright, and has the calmness and grace of a lady, is not a child that an ordinary family can raise.
However, why the other party set up a street stall with Wu Xiuling and made public appearances remains to be investigated.
Qian Chuanzi raised his head and glanced at Gu Ning, then looked back and touched his chin, already calculating several outcomes in his mind.
However, his closest guess was that the person behind Wu Xiuling was also named Gu.
Now, Qian Chuanzi knew what he was doing. He thought about it and kindly reminded him, "Boss Wu, if you let such a beautiful friend of yours hang out at a street stall with you, the risk is high."
This is the truth. Their side of Houjie Street is a mixed bag of gravel and gravel.
And Gu Ning was like a night-bright pearl, quietly blooming in this gravel ground.
Wu Xiuling smiled and looked at Gu Ning, "I'm afraid the other party won't come."
Wu Xiuling was really not afraid of the giant Buddha of Zhou Zhiyuan. She also thought that some people with short-sightedness just happened to come. While Zhou Zhiyuan was still in Yangcheng, she borrowed his hand to kill those short-sighted people.
The people with blind eyes were dealt with.
From now on, she can also be at peace.
Unfortunately, no.
Wu Xiuling's words made Qian Chuanzi touch his chin, thoughtfully.
Wu Xiuling did not explain in detail and asked Gu Ning to help look after the stall.
She knelt down, pulled out the cover of the coal stove, and when the fire came up, she heated the pot with oil, and with a squeaking sound, she first cracked an egg into it, and the egg blossomed instantly. After the egg was fried with hot oil, the aroma came out.
It's absolutely amazing.
As a gust of wind blew away the smell, the entire Houjie Street was filled with the aroma of scrambled eggs.
Many vendors were loading goods. Seeing that the customers hadn't arrived yet, they all walked over with their sleeves in their hands, following the smell.
"Boss Wu, what are you doing??"
Looking at the eggs in the hot pot, after being stir-fried, mung bean sprouts and chopped green onions were added, and the aroma became stronger.
Wu Xiuling quickly stir-fried the rice noodles and looked up. She was an acquaintance. Her tone was a little gentler and she said, "We are doing a little business of eating. Captain Song, do you want some?"
Captain Song is not a small stall owner, but someone who maintains law and order in Houjie. He is a very honest person. When Wu Xiuling first came to Houjie, he helped her several times.
Song is a nice person. He once served in the army and was discharged due to injury. He walks with a slight limp. You can't tell if you don't look carefully, but it will be obvious when he walks faster.
Captain Song lit up a cigarette. His short hair made him look more energetic, and his face looked a bit resolute. The rising smoke seemed to soften his resolute face a bit.
He nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay, give me some fried rice noodles too."
"How much?"
Wu Xiuling nodded and smiled politely, "Captain Song, just come and take care of my business more often. It's up to you to ask for any money."
This is how doing business, especially if it is newly opened, is a cost that must be paid in order to open up connections and sales.
When Gu Ning heard Wu Xiuling's words, she paused for a moment. She was not a businessman. Although she knew how to do this, it was difficult to do it because it was easy to start for free, but difficult to end.
Later, when you ask the other party how much you charge, you are tantamount to offending the other party.
Wu Xiuling seemed to have figured out what Gu Ning meant, and gently shook her head towards Gu Ning, indicating that she should continue reading.
Team Song didn't seem to notice the clever fight between Wu Xiuling and Gu Ning. He took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it into the money basket.
"One code equals one code."
“There is no such thing as freeloading in Houjie.”
This man was very principled. Qian Chuanzi felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He touched his belly, took out ten dollars from his wallet, and put them together into the money basket.
"Two days' worth of food."
this--
Gu Ning and Wu Xiuling looked at each other. This time, neither of them was delaying.
Wu Xiuling was a businessman, so she was more tactful and immediately smiled and handed over her hands, "Then I would like to thank you two for supporting me."
After saying that, I concentrated on frying the noodles.
On the contrary, Captain Song's eyes stayed on Gu Ning's face for a long time, "Are you Gu?"
