Today, Zhu Zhe brought her boyfriend to Wang Gang's noodle shop to celebrate her promotion and officially become the team leader of her group. Her salary also increased by 25%. At the same time, she also introduced Wang Gang to her boyfriend.
Ever since she ate that bowl of Yangchun noodles last time, Zhu Zhe fell in love with the taste. Even if the noodle shop wasn't open, she would sometimes shamelessly ask Wang Gang for some noodles, and of course she would pay.
After going back and forth, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Zhu Zhe also saw another mature side in Wang Gang, his "younger brother".
Wang Gang looks "childish" on the outside, but he is actually extremely mature. He can give Zhu Zhe some advice whether it is life or work.
Zhu Zhe was sometimes inspired and applied it to his work, and became more and more appreciated by his boss.
Yesterday, her boss talked to her and said that there was an internal training course in the company and he hoped that she could attend it if she had time.
Everyone knows that the company's training courses are for supervisory employees who are about to be promoted, and the boss's intention is already obvious.
"Zufa, let me tell you, the smoked fish and steaks made by Xiaogang are delicious, and his exclusive sauce is not available outside." Zhu Zhe took the chopsticks and wiped them carefully with paper towels.
Chen Zufa said with some disgust: "This store is not clean, the seats and benches are greasy, I think it's better not to eat it, let's go to another store to check it out!"
Zhu Zhe smiled and said: "How can it be unclean? I have eaten it many times. Old restaurants are like this. As long as it tastes good, it will be fine."
Chen Zufa persuaded again: "Azhe, you are now considered to be promoted to the hotel leadership. Try to go to some high-end places in the future. It will not be good for your colleagues to see you."
Zhu Zhe said disapprovingly: "What kind of leadership am I? I am the leader of the cleaning team. We still have to save money to buy a house. Let's save it if we can. Besides, Xiaogang's noodles are really delicious. I also want to bring my leader to try it."
try."
"Don't do it. How dare you bring the leader to such a low-class shop? Aren't you afraid that she will be unhappy?"
Chen Zufa said happily, but he didn't see Wang Gang holding two bowls of noodles behind him.
Zhu Zhe saw Wang Gang first, coughed, reminded his boyfriend, and then stood up to take the noodles.
When Chen Zufa saw Wang Gang, he was not embarrassed at all, as if he was not the one who spoke ill of people behind their backs.
"Come and eat it while it's hot." Zhu Zhe placed the Yangchun noodles in front of his boyfriend and changed the subject: "The noodles will become lumpy over time!"
Wang Gang put the separate steaks and smoked fish on the table and said to Chen Zufa: "Mr. Chen, try our store's signature and give us some advice."
Chen Zufa held up his stand, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Okay, I'll come back to you if you have any questions."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, turned to Zhu Zhe and said, "Sister Zhu, please take it easy. I have something to do in the kitchen. This is my treat today. Congratulations on your promotion and salary increase."
"That's so embarrassing." Zhu Zhe wanted to pay the bill, but Chen Zufa stopped him.
"They also have good intentions." Chen Zufatian said shamelessly.
Zhu Zhe was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wang Gang.
"Sister Zhu, don't be polite to me. Just bring more colleagues to my business in the future."
Wang Gang put away the tray and walked back to the kitchen. At this time, many customers had come to the store one after another, and the kitchen could not be short of people.
Zhu Zhe had no choice but to sit back down.
Chen Zufa handed over the chopsticks and said: "Eat!"
Zhu Zhe took the chopsticks and thought that he would bring more colleagues to eat noodles in the future.
Chen Zufa picked a mouthful of noodles and put it into his mouth. His eyes widened the next moment.
"How about it? It's delicious!" Zhu Zhe said proudly: "Xiao Gang's Yangchun noodles have a taste that you can't eat outside."
Chen Zufa swallowed the noodles in his mouth. Although he thought they were delicious, he still said stubbornly: "That's it. No matter how delicious it is, it's just a bowl of Yangchun noodles."
Zhu Zhe pouted and said unconvinced: "Try this piece of smoked fish again. Xiaogang has been studying the unique sauce for a long time, and I also made some suggestions."
Chen Zufa said somewhat displeasedly: "Are you familiar with him?"
Zhu Zhe didn't notice his boyfriend's jealousy and nodded: "This store is not far from the house I rent. I used to come here to eat noodles when I got off work late. But Xiaogang's parents were still alive at that time.
Alas, he is also a poor child. His parents are gone at a young age, so he can only work hard in the magic city on his own."
Seeing his girlfriend talking more and more enthusiastically, Chen Zufa felt even more unhappy.
"You are a girl living alone outside, so you should avoid associating with such people! Who knows if he has any malicious intentions." Chen Zufa said unhappily.
"How can Xiaogang, a child, have any bad thoughts?" Zhu Zhe said disapprovingly: "When Xiaogang came to Shanghai three years ago, he was very timid. He didn't dare to speak when he saw people, so he just kept his head down and worked hard! With me
It’s the same as before.”
"People will change." Chen Zufa reminded: "He will also grow up."
Zhu Zhe didn't understand what his boyfriend meant, so he nodded and said, "Xiaogang has matured a lot since his parents left. He was forced to come out!"
Chen Zufa rolled his eyes and had nothing to do with his silly girlfriend. He fell in love with Zhu Zhe in the first place because of his silly temperament and his ease of deception.
"By the way, what did you think about the thing I told you before?" Chen Zufa suddenly said: "The rent in Shanghai is getting more and more expensive, and the landlord wants to increase the rent. It would be a waste for the two of us to rent two rooms.
It's better to share a room and save money."
Zhu Zhe blushed and understood what his boyfriend meant.
"I haven't decided yet." Zhu Zhe said weakly.
"What else do you want to think about?" Chen Zufa said impatiently: "We have known each other for so many years, what does it matter if we live together."
Zhu Zhe said cautiously: "We have known each other for a long time, but our relationship has only been established for a few months. It is not appropriate to live together!"
Chen Zufa and Zhu Zhe were from the same hometown. They came to Shanghai together, one to study and the other to work. Zhu Zhe was only sixteen years old at that time.
The two were not originally boyfriend and girlfriend, and they only started talking recently.
Zhu Zhe feels that he is getting older and if he doesn't find a boyfriend, he doesn't know when he will get married in the future.
After all, Chen Zufa is from the same hometown, he is still a college student, and they have known each other for so many years, so it was natural for the two to get together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After two months of dating, Chen Zufa has been very proactive, but Zhu Zhe insisted on holding on to the last hurdle. Chen Zufa wanted to live with Zhu Zhe on the grounds that the rent in Shanghai was expensive.
Zhu Zhe actually knew Chen Zuffa's "thoughts" and had been hesitating.
"Azhe, you have to believe me, I am also thinking about our future." Chen Zufa sincerely held Zhu Zhe's hand and said:
"We rent together and can save two thousand yuan a month in rent. If we save this money, if we work harder, we will soon be able to save enough for a down payment to buy a small house." Chen Zufa said confidently.
Zhu Zhe was a little moved. Because her parents favored boys over girls, she went out to work at the age of sixteen, and half of her salary every month was sent home for her younger siblings to study.
She naively thought that as long as she got married, she would be the daughter of a foreign marriage and would no longer have to send money to her family.
"Will you really marry me?" Zhu Zhe asked in a low voice.
Seeing Zhu Zhe take the bait, Chen Zufa immediately laughed and said: "If I don't marry you, who else can I marry? Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
Zhu Zhe lowered his head silently and took two mouthfuls of noodles before saying, "I'll go back and talk to the landlord about terminating the lease."
Seeing that Zhu Zhe finally agreed, Chen Zufa felt hot in his heart and wished he could go back with Zhu Zhe to pack his things now.
"Okay, let me know if you have any news, and I'll find someone to help you move."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Chen Zufa felt that the Yangchun noodles had become more delicious. If he had a good appetite, he ate a big steak and praised it full of praise.
"Azhe, what you recommended is right, the steaks here are delicious."
Zhu Zhe forced a smile and said, "I knew you would like it."
The two hurriedly finished their noodles and were about to watch a movie. Zhu Zhe secretly went to the cashier and put down thirty yuan without letting Wang Gang treat him.
After Wang Gang reconciled the account, he realized that Zhu Zhe paid the money, and couldn't help but smile.
On the first day that Xiaogang Noodle House opened, business was pretty good. About 500 bowls of noodles were ordered in total. The average turnover was about 7,000 yuan, and the gross profit was about 3,000 yuan.
However, most of the people who came today were old customers of Xiaogang Restaurant. For the sake of the Queen Mother and the Queen, they came here to take care of the business, and most of them ordered the cheapest Yangchun noodles.
Starting from the next day, the business of Xiaogang Noodle House began to decline. It could only sell about two hundred bowls a day, which was more than half of its sales at once.
The gross profit from two hundred bowls of noodles is about a little over a thousand yuan, or 30,000 yuan a month, which seems like a lot, but after deducting the cost of labor, water and electricity, Wang Gang actually earns about 10,000 yuan a month.
Some people may say that a monthly income of 10,000 yuan is not much, but if you consider that Wang Gang works thirty days a month, more than ten hours a day, and he owns the store, so there is no rent expense.
After all, the noodle shop sells two hundred bowls of noodles every day to barely break even.
With this small amount of money, it is better to rent out the store and let Wang Gang work part-time by himself. The income will be more than opening a store.
