Feng Yanhong hurriedly sneaked in through the back door of the building before noon and placed a menu at the front desk of each company with the address on it.
When Feng Yanhong arrived, some people working here already recognized her.
"I'm talking about her place. The portions of her noodles are bigger and they taste better than the noodles at the bus station."
"Really, let's go eat together tonight."
"I've been working overtime lately, and my landlord goes to bed early. I don't dare to open the door to cook when I get home. It's really expensive to eat out."
"We can both have a big bowl, it's enough for us to share."
When Feng Yanhong heard their vague conversations, they were all positive comments, the corners of her mouth curled up in relief.
In the elevator, Feng Yanhong met the three freeloaders from yesterday again. Today they all hung their heads in disgrace and did not recognize Feng Yanhong at all.
Feng Yanhong leaned into the corner to reduce her presence.
"Brother, we can't go on like this... If it doesn't work, I'd better go back to my hometown. At least I won't starve to death."
"You haven't starved to death here! What are you saying to say something depressing? Didn't Director Liu agree that we should report it to our superiors? Maybe we can get the money this afternoon?"
The man with black-rimmed glasses started out in a rage, and then he became increasingly unconfident as he spoke.
Feng Yanhong also understood that these three people did not want to pay for the goods, so they were embarrassed to the point of taking advantage of them.
No wonder I looked so ugly when I ate yesterday and ate so anxiously.
Who can be blamed? Isn’t it because I am too thin-skinned? Otherwise, how could I not pay the bill?
Feng Yanhong still had two boxes of lunch boxes in her bag, and some of the soup was spilled...
"Please give way."
"Oh, why did it fall on the ground? Forget it."
Feng Yanhong lowered her head, looking at the bag she had deliberately thrown on the ground, with a look of pity and helplessness on her face, and then turned around and walked away very gracefully.
"Why are you throwing this woman here..."
"Brother, it's lunch boxes! There are two boxes!"
The man with glasses saw a slender figure from behind through the crack in the door, and he already recognized who that person was.
Looking at the two boxes of lunches in the bag, I felt extremely ashamed, and my eyes instantly became moist. I took off my glasses, wiped away my tears with my sleeves, and lifted the bag.
Based on yesterday's experience, Feng Yanhong prepared more dinner than lunch. When she was stocking up in the afternoon, three more people came to order food.
One family sells 10 boxes a day, another sells 8 boxes, and another sells 15 boxes. The price negotiations went smoothly, but when it came to cash payment, both families said they would go back and discuss with the boss.
The store that only had fifteen boxes was determined to deliver them tomorrow. Following the precedent set by Director Chen, the commission ratio was also controlled within this range.
Feng Yanhong actually understood. Li Boqing said yesterday that these companies here are basically small companies in the early stages of entrepreneurship. They have little strength and financial constraints are the norm.
Since this is the case, then she must insist on cash settlement. Even if she earns a little less, she cannot let her hard work be wasted all at once.
The turnover on the first day of opening was 47.80 cents. Today, including the lunch boxes ordered for lunch, by the end of the night, it would be over 100 yuan, 103.6 cents.
She is already quite satisfied with what she has been able to do since she just opened her business, and there will be more to come tomorrow.
In the past few days, there have been an increase in orders for lunch boxes of various sizes. The quantity was not large, but gradually the number of lunch boxes increased.
She doesn't have to prepare so many things now, she can just make one meat and two vegetables every day.
In addition to fried noodles in the evening, Feng Yanhong also added a few vegetarian soup noodles, and the prices were also lower, 50 cents for a small portion and 60 cents for a large portion.
After she changed her mind, her business in the evenings was full. When she was busy, four tables were simply not enough.
She bought two more small folding tables and placed them in front of the store at night.
Business is much slower on Saturdays and Sundays, but this allows the two of you to relax and have a rest.
From the second week after opening, Feng Yanhong felt that it was a bit difficult for the two of them to work.
After negotiating another order for thirty box lunches, she immediately decided to recruit more people.
Early the next morning after the news spread, Aunt Zhang, whom Aunt Gao had mentioned to her, came to the store and volunteered.
Feng Yanhong was preparing the dishes in full swing, and her head was getting hot from the work. She thought Aunt Zhang could help, so she nodded and agreed to let her try.
"Hey! My girl, you can't wash this dish like this. It has to be washed like this."
"Hey! You added too little seasoning. How can the cooking taste good like this?"
"Let me do it. You are young and don't know how to make this dish taste good."
As she said this, the big spoon in Feng Yanhong's hand was snatched away, and she was pushed aside by the strong Aunt Zhang.
Jiang Yuxin looked at the two of them and hesitated to speak, but Feng Yanhong stood there with her eyebrows furrowed and did not move for a long time. Several times she tried to stop her from adding the seasoning, but she forcefully pushed her back.
When Aunt Zhang's noisy dish came out of the pot, Feng Yanhong was completely dumbfounded.
She made a good stir-fry dish, but she poured an unknown amount of soy sauce on it, which turned it into a braised color and tasted salty. It lost its original taste and became an ordinary home-cooked dish.
And it’s not very tasty!
The most important thing is that Aunt Zhang has talked so much that she can fill several large boxes since she entered the house. She still hasn't clearly laid out her position. She relies on her elders and asks her to follow her standards.
No matter how busy she is, she can't have such an employee.
"Sorry Aunt Zhang, you are not suitable for working in my shop. You have worked hard today. Here are two yuan, which is considered as today's wages."
"Yuxin, send Aunt Zhang out."
"Hey, you little girl, you still don't look down on my craftsmanship? I've worked in a state-owned canteen, and it's just a small shop like yours..."
"I'm sorry, Aunt Zhang. The people who come to eat in my restaurant are all working young people. There is still a gap between them and you at that time. I won't keep you here."
Feng Yanhong gave the eviction order, but Aunt Zhang didn't have the nerve to stay any longer. She angrily threw off her apron and sleeves and walked out with a cold snort.
"Sister Yanhong, what should we do now? Can we still have this dish?"
"Huh... this dish will ruin your own brand if you put it out. I definitely can't have it anymore."
Even if we suffer some losses, the little reputation we have accumulated over the past few days cannot be ruined.
"Use the dishes prepared for tonight."
I can only wait until I am done with my work before I go buy some vegetables. Fortunately, they are not meat or vegetables, otherwise I would have lost a lot today.
"What should I do with this dish? Is it going to fall down?"
"Don't dump it yet. When the street sweeper comes, ask her if she wants it. If not, it won't be too late to dump it."
It's not that this dish cannot be eaten, it just can't be used as a dish for her to sell. It would be better if it could be given to people in need.
Feng Yanhong came back from delivering food on a tricycle. When she saw three people in front of her door, one carrying two large bags, they were wandering not far from the door of her store. Her nerves tightened and she quickly speeded up.
When I got closer, I saw it was the black-rimmed glasses. Did they come to pay off the debt yet?
