my boyfriend is a chef

Chapter 18 Prosperity

Early the next morning, Xi Chuan got up and went to the wholesale market to buy vegetables.Their small shop has just opened, and the flow of customers is unstable. They can't order ingredients from the vegetable vendor, so they have to purchase them by themselves. After a while, the better ingredients will be gone.When Xi Chuan went out, seeing that the door of Sun Youchen's room was tightly closed, he went out lightly, telling him to sleep more.

Sun Youchen slept until he woke up naturally, the sun had already risen so high, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, and found that it was already 08:30, he remembered that he went to the wholesale market with Xi Chuan in the morning that he had agreed to last night, at this moment he absolutely It's too late.He ran out to see that there was no one at home, so he sent a message to Xi Chuan, but Xi Chuan didn't reply right away.When he rushed to the store in a hurry, he found that Xi Chuan was already packing up the ingredients.

"Brother, why didn't you wake me up? You brought all the dishes back alone?" Sun Youchen felt embarrassed.

Xi Chuan turned to look at him and smiled: "Not much, I was too tired yesterday, you should sleep more."

Sun Youchen scratched his cheek embarrassingly: "I'll do the dishes." The dishes returned last night were still piled there without being cleaned. They haven't contacted the tableware cleaning company yet, so they can only wash them by themselves.

Xi Chuan said, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet, have you eaten yet?" Sun Youchen rushed to the shop as soon as he got up, and didn't even have time to make breakfast.

Xi Chuan said: "I bought an egg cake to eat on the way. I'm not very full. Why don't I cook some noodles."

"Okay." Sun Youchen looked at the tableware in the basin, all of them were greasy, and there were quite a lot of them. It was a huge challenge, so he found a dishcloth to wash the dishes.

Xi Chuan stopped him: "Wait, put on gloves before washing."

Sun Youchen looked at his hands, took the gloves from Xi Chuan and put them on.Xi Chuan said: "I'll go to the next door to ask later to see how their tableware is handled, and I'll send it to the cleaning company for washing in the future." He really couldn't see Sun Youchen's hands dealing with oil stains.

Sun Youchen looked at it, and tried to breathe out: "Let's forget it, I can wash it, anyway, I don't have much to do during the day, I'm just starting now, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, save as much as I can."

Xi Chuan heard him say: "That's fine, you can wash it first, I'll help you when I'm done."

Xi Chuan said he wanted to help Sun Youchen, but in fact, he reluctantly disposed of the ingredients until Sun Youchen finished washing the dishes and cleaning up.Sun Youchen asked: "Brother, do you want my help?"

Xi Chuan was putting the vegetables into the freezer, and said without raising his head, "No, it's ready."

Sun Youchen said, "Then I'll take out the trash."

"Go." Xi Chuan took out the leftover ingredients from yesterday, planning to make their lunch later.Fortunately, there are not many ingredients left from the ingredients bought yesterday, so they can eat by themselves.He was very careful when buying vegetables. He roughly calculated the amount for a few tables. He was afraid that there would be too much left. In this kind of day, there should be no backlog. If the ingredients are not fresh, it will affect the reputation, so they can only be thrown away.But this kind of thing is not 100% accurate, and waste will still exist, so the loss of ingredients should also be taken into account in the cost. I hope that the business will be stable in the future, and the ingredients can be circulated quickly to minimize waste.

After tidying up the freezer, Xi Chuan found that Sun Youchen hadn't come back yet. This kid, take out the trash. Why has he been away for so long? He went outside the door to take a look, and found Sun Youchen squatting next to the trash can, the midsummer sun falling directly on him He doesn't feel hot on his body, doesn't he think the trash can stinks?Xi Chuan called out: "Youchen."

Sun Youchen turned around, with a surprised expression on his face: "Brother, there is a cat here."

Xi Chuan walked over: "What cat?"

"It seems to be a stray cat, looking for food by the trash can. I want to take it back and raise it."

Xi Chuan followed his hand to look over, and saw a black and gold tortoiseshell cat with its head down, wolfing down a piece of fish. The cat's fur was messy, and it was actually a bit ugly at first glance.Xi Chuan smelled the rotten smell coming from the trash can, covered his nose, and stretched out his hand to pull Sun Youchen's arm: "You can't catch such a big cat, let's go, if it's still there later, feed it Just something to eat."

Sun Youchen said to the cat unwillingly, "Cat, come, come with me."

The cat looked up at him, then went down to eat the fish.

Xi Chuan went back and washed his hands, cooked two dishes with the leftover ingredients from yesterday, and had lunch with Sun Youchen.Sun Youchen still couldn't forget the cat just now. He mixed some soup and rice in a bowl and put it at the door of the store.

They can go back to take a good nap in the afternoon, catch up on sleep, get up around four o'clock and go to the store to prepare for opening.Sun Youchen deliberately went to look at the bowl he left, and found that the rice in it was missing. He didn't know if it was eaten by the cat, but he didn't see the cat after searching around.Zhao Yao came over again in the evening and asked about yesterday's business income. Sun Youchen told him about the situation. Zhao Yao was obviously a little surprised, but he patted Sun Youchen on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother Chuan's skills are really not good. Well, the customers who have eaten there will definitely have many repeat customers, and it won’t take long for the business to boom. Let’s go, let’s go and distribute leaflets.”

Xi Chuan looked at Zhao Yao, this kid is quite motivated, if he insists on working with them, it will be considered as a summer job for him, and he will be paid when the time comes, and I will ask Youchen to ask about it later.

The two of them ran to the street to hand out leaflets in the heat of the heat that hadn't completely subsided. Anyone who has handed out leaflets has this experience. Shame, not afraid of being rejected.Fortunately, there are many facial features in this world. Passers-by will reach out to pick up the flyer when they see that he looks fair and clean.

The sky gradually darkened, the sunset glow reddened the entire western sky, and there were customers in the night market. To Sun Youchen's surprise, the first visitor today was actually their house, and there were five or six people.Sun Youchen happily ran to greet the guests: "Hello, are you eating? Come and sit here, there are fans here. How many of you? Six?"

A girl waved her hand at Sun Youchen: "Hi, handsome boy, we are here again."

Sun Youchen saw that it was the first table of guests who came to the restaurant yesterday, and Sun Youchen was overjoyed: "Welcome, welcome, thank you for supporting our business. What would you like to eat?" He said and handed over the menu.

There were a total of six girls who came here this time, and everyone looked at Sun Youchen with great interest. Another girl who came yesterday jokingly said: "You see, we support your business so much, don't we give you some discounts?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youchen quickly said, "I'll discuss with the boss later, see if I can send you a dish."

"Okay, thank you."

After ordering the dishes, a few girls got up to get the skewers.Sun Youchen sent the menu to the kitchen, and Xi Chuan couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that there were customers so soon: "It's still early today."

Sun Youchen said excitedly: "Well, they are repeat customers. The customers who came here yesterday, they want a discount, and I said I will give them a dish. Brother, is it okay?"

Xi Chuan took the menu and found that there were still a lot of orders, so he said, "Yes, let me give you a beef liver."

"it is good."

Xi Chuan was holding a hot pot soup base, and Sun Youchen was holding a tray to load the dishes. The two went out one after the other. When the female guests who were taking skewers saw Xi Chuan, they immediately forgot what they were doing.After Xi Chuan passed by, the female guest exclaimed: "My God, he is so handsome! Is this the boss or the chef?"

Xi Chuan put the soup base on the table, started the fire, and said with a smile, "You guys, please use it slowly." The eyes of the female guests stared at Xi Chuan.

Sun Youchen put the dishes on the table one by one, and when Xi Chuan left, several people grabbed Sun Youchen and asked, "Little handsome guy, was that your boss just now?"

Sun Youchen smiled and said: "Yes, he is the boss and the chef, and he prepares these dishes. Your dishes are all ready, call me if you need it, please take it easy."

A few female guests originally came here to eat skewers, but they didn't expect to get extra rewards. They were extremely satisfied when they saw two handsome guys, one big and one small.Once the food was cooked, there was another burst of amazement. A girl giggled and said, "I want to marry that handsome guy just now. He is so virtuous. I just look at him when he looks like that."

"It's a good idea, let's eat yours quickly." A girl laughed.

Another girl said, "Hey, tell me, can we get his phone number?"

"I think I should be able to come, so I told him that I want to come to him for dinner in the future, and I want to reserve a seat in advance. I will try it later." A girl said.

Sun Youchen didn't know that the female guests here were trying to trick Xi Chuan, because there were guests again, and it was Zhao Yao's family who came over. He really supported their business with all his might, not only calling his parents, but also his aunt's family. They all called.When Xi Chuan heard that Zhao Yao's family was coming, he hurried over to say hello, and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for coming to honor us. We'll treat you tonight."

Zhao Yao's mother said: "Hey, this is not acceptable. You need money to open a store. After it is free, I dare not come here."

Xi Chuan smiled and said, "Then thank you uncle and aunt, you can take whatever you want to eat." He decided to ask Sun Youchen to give more discounts later.

The biggest psychological characteristic of eating is to conform to the crowd. If you see people eating at that restaurant, you will think that the taste of this restaurant should be good, so you will try it. The more people there are, the better the taste, then Must eat.Because Sun Youchen's Chuan Chuan restaurant has two tables of guests, the attendance rate tonight is obviously better than yesterday's. Although it is not full, it is still [-]% to [-]% full. It received a total of ten tables in one night. Xi Chuan The prepared ingredients are almost not enough.

After the guests left and closed, Sun Youchen took an inventory of tonight's account, with a look of excitement on his face: "Brother, guess how much you sold tonight?"

Xi Chuan said, "There should be more than 1000."

Sun Youchen said loudly, "There are 300 yuan in total."

Xi Chuan nodded, "It's okay."

Sun Youchen pressed the calculator for a while, and said, "If we have this traffic every day, we can still make some money, but it's not too much."

Xi Chuan smiled: "Take your time, today is very good, everything is almost sold out. Are you hungry, do you want to eat supper?"

Sun Youchen nodded: "I'm a little hungry."

Xi Chuan said: "Then I'll use the leftover vegetables to cook for you."

"Okay." Sun Youchen thought for a while and then suggested, "Brother, during dinner today, a customer went to the porridge shop opposite to buy porridge. The weather is so hot, should we also sell some porridge? I also I want to drink porridge."

"Okay, I'll cook some seafood porridge tomorrow." Xi Chuan also felt that in addition to the classic dishes in the store, some dishes can be changed from time to time to ensure the variety and freshness of the taste, which should be able to better attract customers.

When Sun Youchen was waiting for Xi Chuan to cook for himself, he suddenly heard a cat meowing, he pricked up his ears, and heard another cry after a while, and quickly stood up: "Cat, meow!"

A small black figure stood on the steps in front of the store, turned his head to look inside, and Sun Youchen became excited: "Cat, come, come in!"

But the cat stood and watched for a while, and then slowly and gracefully walked to the sidewalk. Sun Youchen hurried back, trying to find something to eat for the cat, but the food was raw and not yet cooked. : "Brother, are you ready? The cat is here again. I'll get it something to eat."

Xi Chuan laughed: "The fish skin is ready, do you want to give it some to eat? Let's wash it with water, don't be too salty."

"Okay." Sun Youchen quickly took the fish skin to find the cat, "Cat, come and eat the fish."

The cat stopped, looked back at him, but did not come over, Sun Youchen poured the fish skin into the bowl at noon today, and put it in the same place, then retreated into the room, quietly observing the cat's movements.

Xi Chuan came over with hot dishes and cooked two more bowls of noodles: "Okay, you can eat."

Sun Youchen didn't forget to pay attention to the outside of the door while eating the food, then lowered his voice and said excitedly: "It's really come here, eating fish skin. If it's cooked in the future, shall we raise it?"

Xi Chuan replied, "As you wish."

Sun Youchen smiled until his eyes rolled: "Thank you bro." It was as if he really had a cat.

The cat was still not caught by Sun Youchen, it just ate the fish skin and left, but Sun Youchen was confident that he could gain the trust of the cat.
