Chapter 162: So many original customers have been accumulated
"Her question stunned me because all our desserts have ice in them, and some of them need shaved ice as a base to neutralize the taste of jam. I thought about it for a long time and found that it really couldn't be done. In the end, the girl still ordered a pandan bowl, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. I also began to feel that the dessert was a bit cold now!
So I was thinking, how about starting from tomorrow and making some room temperature ones? Or hot sugar water?
Hey sister, your knife skills are getting smoother and smoother, not bad!"
As Lu Hongwen spoke, he began to praise.
"Want to learn? First, use your own blood to consecrate the knife a hundred times!" Su Yuchen said with a smile.
When they first rented the kitchen, she also helped cut all the side dishes, but they were mostly block-shaped or shapeless ingredients, so Zhao Xiaojing did all the delicate work. She saw Zhao Xiaojing cutting a lot of potato shreds every day, so she wanted to help share the burden, but she ended up not only failing to cut them finely, but also using her blood to bless the knives every day.
"That's because of you, Sister Comb, a culinary black hole. I'm not like that. The last time Sister Mirror had a fever, it was me who made the pork trotters for her. Have you forgotten?" Lu Hongwen laughed.
Zhao Xiaojing went through the varieties of sugar water in her mind and thought about it again. "Some varieties can be made at room temperature or hot, but when the weather gets cold, there will be fewer and fewer people in the night market, so it doesn't make much sense to change the variety.
Especially in winter, our place is extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter, and people won’t go out when it gets cold. Even if we do it, I’m afraid there won’t be many people in the whole night market street, and we won’t be able to sell much even if we set up stalls.”
"That's right! You reminded me that it's already quite cold here starting from mid-November every year. By that time, the stalls here close early, and the only ones that do some business are spicy food with soup, such as malatang." Lu Hongwen slapped his head and scratched his hair with his hands.
"I've studied here for three years and I know very well that when the weather gets cold, students basically won't come to the night market because the school is quite far from here.
It's okay during the day, as it's warm and we're willing to go out for a walk. But at night, the wind is so strong that we don't want to stay outdoors, let alone sit at an open-air stall and drink.
But our main customers are students now, and residents buy less. "As Lv Hongwen spoke, he frowned, not knowing what to do.
"So I thought, the rent for the stall expires next month, and there is only half a month left. The weather will be cold by then, so I won't make sweet soup anymore. If you want to make money, you can come to the store part-time?" Zhao Xiaojing said.
Xiaozhi’s suggestion was to change the business location and adjust the product variety at the same time, but Zhao Xiaojing had just opened a restaurant and did not have enough energy and manpower to open a dessert shop, so she wanted to take care of one first.
"Part-time job in the store?" Lu Hongwen was a little disappointed when he heard that Tangshui was no longer being made, but when he heard about the part-time job in the store, he perked up again.
"Yes, didn't you say your sister Comb is a culinary black hole? If you want, come over at mealtime and support us. It's enough to earn a living, but it may not be as much as Tang Shui."
Zhao Xiaojing stopped working with the knife and soaked all the shredded potatoes in the basin. Just make sure they don't oxidize, there's a quick cleaning module later.
"Yes, Brother Lu, many students today said that the new store is a bit far from the school and it's a bit far to walk here, so they asked if we could also register a food delivery platform so that they can order food.
If you want to come, I can help deliver food to your school at mealtime. The delivery fee will belong to you, and we won't charge it. We will give you a part-time salary, saving the platform commission, and we can all be more relaxed. "Su Yuchen followed.
"Comb, your idea is better! I think it's feasible." Zhao Xiaojing gave Su Yuchen a thumbs up.
Lu Hongwen tilted his head, thought about it, and laughed. "Okay! Thank you Sister Shu and Sister Jing for giving me a new life! When it's confirmed, I'll make an online app for you, and students can place orders directly through the app. I just learned this recently, and I was planning to make some sweet soup!"
"You are really multi-talented and a good business man!" Su Yuchen smiled in surprise.
"Then you tell the stall collector that we won't renew the lease when it expires next month. It just so happens that we rent the stall from you, so we don't have to explain it again." Zhao Xiaojing symbolically cut some meat and prepared some sauce, preparing to use the shortcut module to copy it directly to save time.
"You know what, I didn't feel anything before when I only made pig's trotter rice. I would prepare the dishes in the morning, take out the pig's trotters and everything would be ready. In the afternoon, I would make the sweet soup. I was busy every day but it didn't seem that busy. Now that I open the store, I suddenly feel that time is tight. I feel a lot more relaxed when I get rid of this sweet soup stall!" Su Yuchen said with relief after Lu Hongwen left.
"That's true, but we still have to hold on for another half a month. I hope we can hire someone quickly. Boss Su, please hold on!" Zhao Xiaojing laughed.
They originally thought that there would be enough people at noon, but the business in the evening was even better than they expected.
The store did not promote itself. The two thought that it was their first time to open a store, and the service and food were not stable yet, so there were inevitably some things that were not taken care of. In the early stage of opening, there were fewer people, so they could test the waters, and then make improvements based on the actual situation, taking a steady approach. In order to avoid excessive promotion and attracting a large number of people, it would be counterproductive. Customers would not come again next time if they had a bad experience. So they just posted a simple post in the student group of the former pig trotter rice.
Unexpectedly, by evening, Wen Yulan's family, Chen Huiping's family, and the neighbors who had eaten pork trotter rice when they rented the kitchen before all came to take care of the business, and for a while the shop was full.
"I never expected that we have accumulated so many original customers. I feel so happy and heavy at the same time."
It was already half past nine when Su Yuchen returned home after cleaning. His steps became heavy, but his eyes were sparkling.
"I didn't expect that after coming to Jiangcheng for more than two months, we already have our own shop, a group of loyal customers, and have met so many friends." Zhao Xiaojing had a gentle expression and smiled absent-mindedly.
The two of them quickly washed up, and Su Yuchen fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed. Zhao Xiaojing was a little excited, still thinking about the system, and entered the virtual space again.
I was busy tinkering with Xiaozhi in the morning, and then I rushed out to repair the circuit. I haven't used the system coins and experience points I was rewarded with yet.
[Level 16 System Gold 4560 Experience]
Zhao Xiaojing took a look at the data in the upper left corner and immediately became excited.
At night, Xiaozhi has been reporting the experience points gained. This time, there are more than a hundred points, and the total experience points are over ten thousand.
If we hadn’t prepared too much food, which ended up being sold out and a few passers-by wanted to eat without any food, we should have been able to save a little more.
