my boyfriend is a chef

As early as a few days before the opening, Sun Youchen and Zhao Yao began to distribute leaflets in the night market. In order to attract customers, they launched a [-]% discount activity for the first three days of opening.However, many leaflets have been sent out, but the effect does not seem to be great.Sun Youchen watched the nearby hot pot restaurant and barbecue restaurant have customers one after another, but no one came to his house. People passed by their store door, just took a look and left, and felt a little panicked.

Sun Youchen is not an extrovert at first, and his skin is a bit thin. In order to promote the store these days, he has already gone all out. At this moment, he is still attracting customers with a good-looking smile: "Do you want to eat skewers? The new store is open, and the discount is [-]% off."

Sun Youchen is good-looking, and his appearance can easily arouse women's maternal love. When a female customer saw him, she said to her companion: "Let's go to this place to eat skewers? It's a new store, let's see how it tastes."

The male guest in the same company said: "Aren't you going to eat seafood barbecue?"

So this group of potential guests left just like that, Sun Youchen felt a little frustrated at once, but he quickly adjusted and continued shouting with vigor.

Zhao Yao also yelled loudly: "I'm eating kebabs, a new store opens, [-]% discount, don't miss it when you pass by, you will definitely not regret it after eating."

However, until seven o'clock, the business did not open.Sun Youchen let out a long sigh, seeing the bustle around and the desertedness on their side, his heart felt chilled.Zeng Bo comforted him and said: "It's okay, my colleagues will come over in a while, and they just got off work. When someone comes, the business will improve."

At this moment, Zhao Yao's cell phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, then laughed and said to Sun Youchen, "Youyou, don't worry, we have guests."

Sun Youchen looked at him: "Who is it?"

Zhao Yao said, "Wait a minute, I'll pick them up."

Sun Youchen watched Zhao Yao leave. A few minutes later, Zhao Yao led a large group of people over. They were all classmates in his class, both boys and girls. There were fifteen or sixteen in total. Everyone greeted him warmly when they saw him. : "Congratulations on opening, business is booming!"

A girl said: "Sun Youchen, you didn't tell us that your brother opened a store. If Zhao Yao hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about it. It's so embarrassing."

Sun Youchen looked at everyone with some emotion: "Thank you for coming!" These students are all fans of Xi Chuan, and they often eat fast food, but Sun Youchen usually doesn't deal with everyone, so I don't have the nerve to tell them about myself It was Zhao Yao who opened the store, so that everyone would not know about it, so he notified it for him.

Zeng Bo pushed Sun Youchen: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up and greet your classmate."

"Yes, yes, yes. Sit down quickly, what do you want to eat?" Sun Youchen hurriedly led the students in to sit down.

Zhao Yao said: "Just sit outside. There are big tables outside and it's cool. One table is probably not enough to sit on. Let's divide it into two tables."

"Yes. Your brother's cooking is so delicious, but no one comes to eat it. It's really ignorant. Sun Youchen, what about the menu, we want to order." A male classmate said.

Everyone found a seat and sat down. Sun Youchen hurriedly took the menu to order for them, and Zhao Yao recommended the dishes he tried these days: "I especially recommend flavored beef liver and sauced rabbit waist, and brother Chuan's marinated beef. The liver and rabbit waist are super delicious, tender and fresh, so delicious that you will want to eat them again."

"Then come here. Do you have any recommendations?" asked the classmate who ordered.

The girls said, "Let's go, let's get the skewers by ourselves."

Sun Youchen hurried to ask Xi Chuan to prepare the soup base. Xi Chuan waited from the afternoon until dark, but no customer came to place an order, and he kept beating in his heart, wondering when the business would open. The kitchen was cleaned up vigorously, and the kitchen was polished and shiny.Sun Youchen came running out of breath, and said, "Brother, prepare two soup bases."

Xi Chuan asked in surprise, "Is there a guest?"

Sun Youchen said embarrassingly, "Zhao Yao called my classmate over."

Xi Chuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay, it's considered open. I'll be ready soon." The soup had already boiled, because no one came, so it stopped rolling now.

Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen packed the soup base and brought them outside. It was the first time for many students to see Xi Chuan's true face in Mount Lu, and they all greeted each other: "Brother Chuan!" "Brother Chuan, I have eaten your soup many times The dishes." "Congratulations to Brother Chuan for opening the shop."

The girls were even more amazed and commented excitedly: "Wow, Brother Sun Youchen is so handsome, he looks better than a celebrity." "So handsome, can we take a photo together?"

Xi Chuan smiled and said to the group of children: "You can order whatever you want, there are sauces in the back, and you can mix whatever sauces you want."

Sun Youchen and Zhao Yao brought up the dishes ordered by their classmates one by one, the fire was burning, the bottom of the soup was gurgling and rolling, and the rich aroma floated up, everyone put the dishes into the soup pot, and picked them up after a while: "Really! , this beef liver is super delicious, so fresh!"

"Really? I want to try too."

"Brother Chuan's craftsmanship is amazing! This plate is too small, only a few slices, no more, Zhao Yao, give us another plate of beef liver, no, two plates."

A classmate said: "Sun Youchen, do you have any beer, please serve us some beer."

"Yes, eating skewers means drinking, and iced ones are the best. Girls don't drink bars, so let's drink drinks. Coke or orange juice?"

The scene immediately became lively, the young people had dinner together like this, their enthusiasm was undisguised.The guests eating barbecue and hot pot next to them heard the movement here, and couldn't help but bow their necks to look here frequently.

At this time, Zeng Bo brought five or six of his colleagues over. Today he invited his colleagues to dinner, mainly to warm up the scene for his good brothers.

With three tables of guests, the store does not look so deserted.Sun Youchen went to solicit customers again, he smiled shyly, the advantage is that he is handsome and easy to attract people's favor, this time he really attracted customers, they were two girls, they looked at the three tables of guests who were eating in full swing , hesitated, and walked into the store.

Sun Youchen was so excited that he was almost incoherent: "What do you want to eat? Do you two? Sit inside or outside?" This is a serious guest, not a friendly sponsor.

The two girls came to eat for Sun Youchen's face. Based on the principle of trying it out, they didn't expect the food to taste surprisingly good, so they took a lot of photos, and even secretly took a profile of Sun Youchen's face. It was sent to Moments and an advertisement was sent to Sun Chuanchuan.

Lao Lin knew that they were opening today, so he ordered flower baskets and came here. At eight o’clock, he and his wife closed the door of the Maocai Restaurant, and came to the food stall to support their business. When he came, he found that there were already four or five tables of guests. Then he said to Xi Chuan: "It's not bad, there are so many customers on the first day of opening."

Xi Chuan smiled helplessly: "All the friends of Youchen and Zeng Bo came to join us, and there are only two tables of real guests."

Lao Lin smiled: "Just give the money. This is how you do business. At the beginning, it was a bit deserted. After a long time, there will be more repeat customers, and more people will eat. You have to believe in your ability. You see, one day There will be a lot of people waiting in line outside your door to eat."

Xi Chuan couldn't help laughing: "According to Uncle Lin's auspicious words, I hope that day will come soon. Uncle Lin and Auntie should also eat something."

Lao Lin's wife smiled and said, "Eat, I heard from Lao Lin that your cooking is delicious. You must try it today. Our son and daughter-in-law will come over later, and recommend your special dishes to auntie."

Xi Chuan was very moved: "Thank you, Auntie, you go and sit down first, I will send it to you."

"I'll call You Chen and ask him to bring us the menu, and we can order what we want." Lao Lin said, dragging his wife out.

After nine o'clock, more people came to eat late at night, and the shop next door was overcrowded, and they finally picked up some customers who couldn't settle down next door.But every customer who came to eat was not disappointed. Although it is a new restaurant, the taste is really good. It is definitely not inferior to those restaurants they often eat, or even better, and there are discounts.

Around eleven o'clock, the guests left one after another, Xi Chuan asked Zeng Bo to send Zhao Yao back first, and he and Sun Youchen stayed to clean up.It was almost twelve o'clock when the work was over, and the two of them were not in a hurry to go back. They took out the bills to settle the accounts. Sun Youchen pressed the calculator for a while, then raised his head and said, "Brother, apart from my classmates, Bo Ge's colleagues and Uncle Lin They had a total of six tables of guests, 22 people, and the income of these six tables of guests was 800 yuan, which is the income after the 45% discount, which is about [-] yuan per capita.”

Xi Chuan leaned over to look at his account books, and said: "Based on 300% of the profit, the gross profit is about 9000 yuan. If the attendance rate is always like this, it will be about [-] yuan a month. It should be enough for the rent and utilities. Losing money."

Sun Youchen had an unbelievable look on his face: "Did we sell it too cheap?" This is not the same as what he thought, how can you open your own store without making money, just to keep your capital.

Seeing that he was a little bit shocked, Xi Chuan reached out and rubbed his head, and took the calculator to settle the accounts: "Actually, it's not that bad. This is just the beginning, and it will be fine when the business improves in the future. We have a total of twelve tables , if all the seats are full, there will be three people at a table, and the gross income will be 1620 yuan a night. If there is no discount, we can earn 648 yuan a night. In this way, we can earn nearly 1 yuan a month, minus [-] yuan About the rent, utilities, and electricity, I can still earn about [-] yuan."

Sun Youchen lowered his head, looking a little bit shocked: "You can only earn so much?" A full house is already the best situation, and you can only earn [-]. Was he too optimistic before, thinking that relying on Xi Chuan? The craftsmanship can definitely make money. I didn't expect that it is really not easy. It can be seen that it is not easy to do catering.

Xi Chuan said with a smile: "Let's try to save a little bit of expenses, and we should be able to earn a little more. If the business is good and we can turn over the table at night, then we can really make money." a batch.

Sun Youchen puffed up his cheeks, clenched his fists, and cheered for Xi Chuan himself: "Yes, this is just the beginning. I believe our business will get better and better. I have confidence in my brother. I will try my best to solicit customers tomorrow." .” A smile appeared on his face.

Xi Chuan nodded, stretched his waist, and said, "Let's go, go back to sleep, and I have to get up to buy vegetables tomorrow morning." Although the food stalls only open at night, it doesn't mean it's easy. After purchasing, I came back to deal with the preparations. I was busy from morning to night. Fortunately, Sun Youchen was still on summer vacation and could help a lot, so I could take a rest in the afternoon.

Sun Youchen also yawned. He had worked hard all night, and now he was a little drowsy. He put his arms around Xi Chuan's waist, put his face on his back, and returned to the city that had already begun to fall asleep. go home.Xi Chuan was riding the bike, feeling the swaying of the head on his back, and he didn't dare to drive faster, for fear of throwing the guy behind him: "Youchen, wake up, don't fall asleep, be careful not to fall."

Sun Youchen opened his eyes and muttered, "Oh, I didn't sleep."

"Talk to me for a while, and go back to sleep." The location of the shop is a bit far from their home, and it takes half an hour to ride a bicycle.

Sun Youchen blinked vigorously: "Okay, what do you say?"

Xi Chuan thought for a while: "Anything is fine. Why don't you sing to me."

Sun Youchen giggled: "Okay. The singing is not good, so don't laugh at me."

"No, let's sing." Xi Chuan had never heard Sun Youchen sing before, so he was looking forward to it.

"Wait." Sun Youchen said as he took out his phone, played the music, then cleared his throat and began to sing, "It's not just the wine last night that made me cry, it's not just the wine that made me reluctant to part, not just Your tenderness..."

Sun Youchen's singing voice was clean and transparent, which made Xi Chuan involuntarily think of Jelly. The song "Chengdu" he sang lacked a bit of sadness, but it also sounded surprisingly good.Sun Youchen finished singing along with the music, then leaned against Xi Chuan's back and asked, "Brother, does it sound good?"

"That's nice, I didn't realize that you still have this talent. What else do you not know?" Xi Chuan felt that he didn't know enough about Sun Youchen.

Sun Youchen smiled and rubbed his forehead on Xi Chuan's back: "I can't do anything else, I can only draw pictures and sing a few songs. My voice is not good, and I can't sing many songs."

Xi Chuan's heart was itchy from being rubbed by him, and he turned his hand holding the faucet. Fortunately, there were no cars on the road: "Don't move around, pay attention to safety."

Sun Youchen leaned against his back and said innocently: "I didn't move. Brother, can you sing? Sing a song for me."

Xi Chuan coughed in embarrassment: "I don't know how to sing, I'm tone deaf."

"How is it possible, my brother's voice is so nice, and his singing must be nice too, just sing any one." Sun Youchen refused to let him go.

Xi Chuan said, "I can't sing, let me whistle for you."

"Okay."

After a while, Xi Chuan began to whistle, the tune was "Chengdu" just sung by Sun Youchen. Hearing the melodious whistle, Sun Youchen couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and hummed softly.The heat of late night in midsummer has long dissipated, and there are only sleepy street lamps and two young hearts that are getting closer to each other on the road.
