Stall setting starts from Malatang

Chapter 9 9, Spicy Hot Pot

After selling until around 8 pm, there were only some leftovers on the table and the soup in the pot had reached the bottom. Lin Xiaojian decided to close the stall early.

He had thought that the business would be good at night, but he still didn't dare to bring too many goods. If the situation was not as optimistic as he thought, the food would be lost in the open air overnight.According to experience, vegetables like these can only be stored for 2 nights at most, and the leaves will become dry after a long time. Although they will not deteriorate like meat, the dry appearance will make guests not want to eat them.

[Small green vegetables: produced in Wangdong Village, with a freshness of 31 and a pesticide residue value of 1]

[Fish balls: from Zhoushan, freshness 62, fish meat ratio 8%]

[Thousand-sheet Tofu: Produced in Henan, freshness 8]

Lin Xiaojian had a whim, and used the identification technique on a few dishes that felt that they were going bad. The fish balls with a freshness of 62 could not see any problems at all, and the small green vegetables with a freshness of 31 were obviously wrinkled. Needless to say, there are a few pieces of tofu that are wet and sticky together. Pick it up with chopsticks and put it on the tip of your nose. You can smell a sour smell vaguely.

"It seems that items under 50 must be paid special attention to. Those under 30 must be processed on the same day. You can take them back for a late-night snack and eat them. Those under 10 must be thrown away."

He was pondering over the results of the identification by the system. He hadn't thought that the identification could be used in this way just now. It would be a waste to use it to identify Lao Zhang and Lao Liu indiscriminately.Although his dishes are few, there are at least [-] dishes, and ten appraisals a day are not enough, so he can only choose dishes that are near expiry date.

The time for food to deteriorate is not fixed. It will deteriorate faster when the weather is hot, and improper storage will also affect it—for example, duck blood that needs to be refrigerated. It is best to change the water every few hours. After a long time, the water will become cloudy and accelerate spoiled.At the same time, sprinkle some water on the vegetable leaves from time to time, which can replenish water and effectively relieve dryness, at least it looks fresher and tender.

"It's closed so early."

Seeing Lin Xiaojian started to pack his things, Lao Liu walked over slowly, took a few glances into the pot, sniffed the faint scent left, and asked curiously: "Business is good today."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it. There aren't enough dishes prepared. Prepare more next Saturday."

Lin Xiaojian said with a smile, seeing that Lao Liu's movements were weird, he asked mischievously, "Old Master Liu, what are you looking at?"

"Me, come and smell the old hen soup."

It's not that Lao Liu can't afford old hens, but based on his experience, he has never seen a stall using old hens to make soup.Even in those restaurants, it is said that they use loose old-age hens, but in fact they just put a few spoonfuls of thick soup treasures.

"When the stall is set up tomorrow, I will give you a bowl to taste first, and give me some pointers."

Lin Xiaojian said politely that at his age it is not suitable to be called Lao Liu, but everyone calls him that, and he does as the Romans do.

He is only 19 years old this year. He studied high school in his hometown for two years because of an accident.Compared with those little bosses with sun-tanned faces and red necks, he was fair and tender.Especially his personality is far from these hob meat, not as bold and thick-skinned as them, so Ye Chao said that he is not suitable for setting up a stall.

"Okay, then I won't eat, and wait to drink your chicken soup!"

Lao Liu said jokingly.Being with this young man, he felt the youthful vigor that he hadn't seen for a long time, unlike other small bosses, all of them were shrewd like ghosts, and there was no truth in their mouths.

Back at the dormitory, brother Chao is still off work. He is a mechanic in the factory, and his working hours are not stable. When there is no problem, he can play with his mobile phone for a day. When there is a problem, it is normal to work all night.

Lin Xiaojian gathered the vegetables that were visible to the naked eye and screened out by identification techniques and were about to go bad, thinking about making a dry pot later, brother Chao must be hungry after working overtime all night.Although Brother Chao doesn't charge his rent, but he has the ability to live under the eaves of others, so he has to express his goodwill at least.

"Huh? Why are you back so early today?"

It wasn't until 9:[-] that Ye Chao opened the door and came in. His work clothes were drenched with sweat, and there were several black oil stains on his forehead. Seeing that Lin Xiaojian had already laid down lazily, he asked strangely.

"Business was good at night, and all the dishes were sold out, so I came back early."

Lin Xiaojian replied with a slightly showy tone.

"real or fake."

Ye Chao showed a curious expression, and his tone was a little unbelievable.

He knew the level of his cousin. He could only make home-cooked dishes so-so, but he was not as good as the ones in their cafeteria. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. If he didn’t learn the good skills in the factory, he wouldn’t be able to get a stable job. To do it, you have to be exposed to the sun and rain to set up a stall and sell spicy hotpot.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, go and look in the refrigerator, it's all empty."

Lin Xiaojian said proudly: "Brother Chao, are you hungry? I still have some food left. Let me make you a spicy pot."

"Oh? You can also make spicy hotpot?"

Hearing this, Ye Chao stopped going to the bathroom, turned his head, and looked at his cousin suspiciously.

Although they like to eat spicy food, what they eat is hot and sour, and Ye Chao doesn't like soupy food. That's why Lin Xiaojian has been setting up a stall for almost a month. He hasn't eaten at the stall yet. I looked at it from a distance a few times, and saw that the business didn't go well once, so I didn't show up, for fear of embarrassing my cousin.

But the spicy hotpot suits Ye Chao's taste very well. He likes this kind of dry, oily and fragrant food. When he heard that his cousin was going to show off his skills, he decided not to take a shower first, so as not to stain his clean clothes with the smell.

He followed Lin Xiaojian to the downstairs kitchen. They lived in a self-built house of local farmers. It was four floors high, with two rooms on the first floor. There was a basement for the residents to cook, and the air circulation was difficult.The factory where Ye Chao works has rented out the entire house for the technicians in the factory. One room has nearly 20 square meters.For some families, it is not too crowded to live with three or four people.

"Zi..."

You can’t be careless when eating by yourself. Lin Xiaojian first cut a few pieces of fat and fry them in a pot to make lard. Pour in the remaining vegetables, potatoes, and enoki mushrooms.Brother Chao does physical work, so he eats more meat, and he doesn't have the strength to eat only vegetables.

Finally, he poured a large spoonful of all-purpose stock on top to make it fresh.Some fragrant pot chefs will scald the vegetables first and then stir-fry them in the pot to save time, but the flavor will not be as good as stir-frying them directly.

Although the all-purpose soup base does not say that it is only for Malatang, Lin Xiaojian is a fan of the government and is afraid that the system will not let him cross the border. The spicy hot pot meal in the evening is both a reward and an experiment for Brother Chao.

He has read many novels about the system, the systems in them are very stingy, and the props can only be used within the specified range, and they will be invalid if they exceed the range.However, this all-purpose broth is obviously not limited to Malatang. When Ye Chao put the ham sausage into his mouth, his eyes widened rapidly, as if they could emit light, and looked at him with a very strange look to Lin Xiaojian.

"How, how..."

Brother Chao's weird expression made Lin Xiaojian sure that this broth can be used in other foods, but he still asked hesitantly.In front of this cousin who is 7 years older than him, he always feels like a child, hoping to be recognized by his elders.

"Delicious!"

"You should change your business to sell spicy hot pot. With your taste, you won't be afraid of losing business if you drive it to the town!"

Ye Chao is the third one today to ask Lin Xiaojian to open a store in the town. With the system, Lin Xiaojian believes that it is only a matter of time, and he still has a growth task to challenge Heat Malatang.However, he was embarrassed by the large amount of money needed to open the store, which was dozens of times that of a modified electric stall tricycle.

"Hey, this is for myself. It's all good food. Where can I sell it when I open a shop?"

Lin Xiaojian said half truth and half lie.

"Hey, it seems you have found a way. In this case, there is no need to go back to the factory to work."

Looking at this plate of invincible and delicious spicy hot pot, Ye Chaoda sighed while feasting on his mouth.

He has always hoped that Lin Xiaojian could return to work in the factory with peace of mind. For this reason, he had begged the workshop director many times to help him reserve a position.He estimated that the company had been losing money for a month and was about to give up. Recently, a worker had resigned, and the workshop would definitely need to recruit people. However, he did not expect that his cousin would find a way out in the Malatang business.

"How much did you earn tonight? 300?"

After putting aside the matter of going back to the factory, Ye Chao cared about Lin Xiaojian's income, as long as he can make money, it doesn't matter where he works.When he thought about it, he would have to earn hundreds of dollars by selling all the vegetables.

"About two or three hundred."

Lin Xiaojian is not sure about his income, because the vegetables he sells today may be bought yesterday, not all of them today. He may buy 100 today and sell 200, and tomorrow he will buy 50 or sell 200. It is not fixed. Anyway, the gross profit There are six or seven achievements.

"That's not a lot. Even if you make 300 every day, it's only 9000 a month."

Ye Chao shook his head and said that a good technical team leader in the factory can earn 10,000+ a year, as well as social security and free food and housing. He believes that with Lin Xiaojian's ingenuity, he will definitely reach this level in a few years.

Although being a boss sounds more promising than working part-time, you only earn 300 if you sell all your vegetables, 30 days a month, can you guarantee to sell all your vegetables every day?Is there such a business in wind and rain?

"Uh, because I didn't prepare enough dishes today, I didn't expect the business to be so good. Next time I prepare more, I can earn at least four or five hundred."

Lin Xiaojian said nonsense that if there was no system, he would not boast, but now he believes that as long as he persists, it will be a matter of time before he can earn 500 a day.

"When the time comes, call Brother Chao to help..."

When tidying up the dishes, Lin Xiaojian thought happily.He is always thinking about the growth task given by the system. If he wants to surpass Heat Malatang, this electric tricycle and himself are definitely not enough. He must have his own storefront and team.

He now has 47 points, and if he goes all out, he can exchange them for 4700 yuan. It should be no problem to save 47000 in a few months. If it is not enough, he can ask Brother Chao to pay for it. He has saved a lot of money for his wife.
