Getting rich in chronology

Dalong was riding a tricycle, and Chen Yu trotted along behind him, and within twenty minutes, he arrived at his destination.

Today, the Mala Tang business opened for business on the first day, and Chen Yu directly chose the machinery factory. There was no other reason, because their workers had high wages and good benefits, and they were willing to spend money if they had money.

When we arrived at the place, there were already some small vendors pushing carts outside, selling steamed buns, steamed buns, tea eggs, baked sweet potatoes, everything.

On the street opposite the factory, there are several households who opened the wall facing the street and turned it into a shop. Some of them opened small shops, and some sold some food, such as noodles and fried rice. of.

As soon as Chen Yu and Dalong passed by, those who opened the store directly didn't take it seriously, they had a place to sit in the store, the food was hot, and they didn't worry about business.

Many of the push carts looked over with vigilant eyes, there was no way, the competition was fierce, there were more than a dozen small carts, four of them sold roasted sweet potatoes, two sold tea eggs, and the rest were all selling buns and steamed buns.

If there is another family, the competition will be even greater, of course they are not happy.

Chen Yu didn't care about those hawkers, and didn't follow them to the gate, he chose a spacious place next to the wall, and asked Dalong to park the car and move the stove down.

Most of the hawkers looked away, two young children, inexperienced, how can they do business and stick behind the crowd, no one can see you when our cars stop.

No one can see, where is the business.

Dalong finished the work according to Chen Yu's request, looked at his own booth, and then at the other small carts far away, and said in a muffled voice, "Should we move forward?"

"No need." Chen Yu didn't care.

He unbuttoned his Lei Feng hat a little, and ran all the way. It was too hot, so he had to take a breather.

Keep the fire in the stove all the time, and add new coal balls to make the fire bigger.

The bottom soup was boiled at home, and then kept warm on the stove, and it is still hot now. After replacing the briquettes, the fish sat on the pot again, thinking that the time was almost up, lifted the lid of the pot, and started pouring it into the pot. Some easy-to-cook ingredients.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the strong aroma spread across the area in an instant like a small whirlwind.

The delicious aroma of the bone soup is concealed by the pungent aroma of the spicy soup base, and it sneaks into the nostrils of people without paying attention, causing people to twitch their index fingers.

The small vendors twitched their noses, following the aroma, all their eyes gathered.

Those who reacted quickly already understood, no wonder people don't choose the place, it smells so good, do you still need to squeeze forward?Whoever smells it must not find it by himself.

Dalong swallowed his saliva, and turned his head to help Chen Yu with his work, but there was a borborygmus in his stomach, and the big man's neck turned red with embarrassment.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Brother Dalong, take a bowl."

Dalong hurriedly took a large clean bowl from the bamboo basket in the car and handed it to Chen Yu. A chopstick of vermicelli is cooking.

"Here, eat first." He handed the bowl to Dalong.

Dalong refused again and again: "No need, I'm already eating, you're going to sell it for money."

Chen Yu smiled: "It's time for lunch, how can anyone work on an empty stomach, eat quickly, it's all in the bowl, if you don't eat it, you can't put it back, it's a waste."

Dalong said, "You eat."

Chen Yu laughed: "I just ate a bowl of noodles before I left, and I can't eat any more. Eat it quickly, and don't eat it cold anymore."

When he said that, Dalong took the bowl embarrassingly, took a string of tenderloin that he had long liked, and swallowed it in one bite. Fuck, I fell down for some reason, and then my taste buds screamed dissatisfied.

He didn't care to say anything else, he gave Chen Yu a thumbs up, threw the stick into a bamboo tube under his instruction, and hurriedly took another bunch and ate it.

One bite at a time, one bite at a time, I couldn't stop, and within 2 minutes, Dalong's bowl was empty.

It just so happens that the vermicelli is hot. These vermicelli fish have been soaked in advance, so they don’t need to be cooked for too long. They can be picked up with a strainer and poured into a bowl.

Dalong didn't even use chopsticks, so he pulled the two bamboo sticks he had just used up into his mouth, and with a little hot soup, the slippery vermicelli slipped into his mouth.

He couldn't bear to vomit, so he breathed out and ate without stopping, slurping half a bowl of vermicelli, which frightened his stomach.

"It's delicious." A layer of sweat appeared on Dalong's forehead, and he took a slight breath. He ate too fast just now, but after eating, the spiciness returned, and he felt refreshed.

Chen Yu smiled smugly, of course it is delicious, most of the food recipes in later generations have been analyzed by people on the Internet, Chen Yu tried many kinds, and compared some famous recipes and adjusted them himself.

He thinks that it is no worse than some famous Malatang chain stores. Personally, he prefers the soup base without milk. He likes to use bone broth, but the one with milk is too thick.

Of course, because it is expensive, it is definitely not possible to add milk to sell it now.

"Little brother, you eat food, why are you selling it!" The owner of a small shop not far away has long been attracted by the aroma of Mala Tang Bashou. A string of pots.

Chen Yu hung the price tag written in advance on the handlebar, and said politely: "Do you want me to explain it to you in detail?"

Have to guard against illiterate.

"No, I'll see for myself." The owner of the small shop poked his head and saw different prices written on the cardboard from top to bottom.

Vegetable dishes cost [-] cents a bunch, soy products cost [-] cents a bunch, meat skewers cost [-] cents, [-] cents a bunch, and vermicelli sticks cost [-] cents.

Fried dough sticks and soy products are included in the same price.

That's all for the time being, although the prices of vegetarian dishes are the same, but the skewers are of different sizes, the cost is evened out.

For example, for the cheapest radish and cabbage, a bunch should be more, and for more expensive lotus root, a bunch should be less.Dry goods are not cheap, but if you don’t press the scale, the portion will increase after soaking, which is not a loss.

The same is true for meat. Cheaper chicken and pork are cut larger than beef and skewered, and beef is skewered smaller.

"Hey, your price is not cheap." After reading the price, the shop owner shook his head: "I see your bunch, it's just a skewer, and the vegetarian dishes are also sold for ten cents, isn't it appropriate? Big radishes are only two cents now. A catty of money!"

Chen Yu beckoned: "Come and see, my soup is made of big bones, and the bones are not considered money? I added 38 kinds of seasonings, so it is not considered money? The layer of oil floating on it is not considered money. money?"

"I won't mention other sticks and charcoal fire. If you only count the ingredients on my skewers to calculate the cost, that would be boring."

Is it expensive?Compared with the current prices, it is not cheap, but it is not too expensive to say how expensive it is.

Coax your mouth to buy a bunch of two, anyone can afford it.

In the same era, KFC dares to sell a piece of original chicken for [-] yuan, and the business is still booming. His most expensive skewer is only [-] cents!

The owner of the canteen was speechless by what he said, and muttered: "That's expensive."

Chen Yu smiled and stopped talking.

The owner of the canteen didn't leave either, seeing that Chen Yu didn't have any intention of lowering the price, the scent kept getting into his nose, his mouth was full of saliva, and finally couldn't hold back: "Give me a bunch to taste first."

"No problem, what do you want?" Chen Yu smiled.

The owner of the canteen swallowed, of course he wanted to eat meat, but meat is a bit expensive, and two skewers are ten cents cheaper, so it's not worth buying it alone.

Radish and cabbage are too cheap, he thought about it and chose a bunch of lotus root.

"Do you eat spicy food?"

"eat."

Chen Yu took a bunch of lotus root from the spicy pot and handed it over, the boss took out a dime in heartache, it was really expensive.

Two slices of lotus root were strung on a skewer, but they were sliced ​​relatively thinly. The owner of the canteen got it and couldn't wait to move it to his mouth and bite a slice of lotus root.

When the lotus root slices are in the mouth, the taste buds first come into contact with the spicy and freshness of the spicy soup base. As the teeth bite the lotus root slices, the sweet aftertaste of vegetables neutralizes part of the spiciness.

Of course, the owner of the canteen can't come up with these messy descriptors, he just has one idea, it's delicious.

The two pieces of lotus root were gone in an instant, and the boss smacked his lips, feeling that he hadn't tasted it yet.

"A few more skewers." The owner of the canteen took the bowl given by Chen Yu and ran to the pot to pick it up himself.

The vegetarian dishes are so delicious, the meat must be more delicious, and you have to buy meat.

"Hey, why do your meats have different sizes." The owner of the commissary nodded curiously.

Chen Yu explained: "The largest is chicken, the second is pork, and the smallest is beef."

In this way, the boss will understand.

Which two of the three kinds of meat do you choose?The chicken is big, the beef is fragrant, and the pork is not bad!

too difficult!

The boss struggled for a while, took the same skewer, and then said to Chen Yu: "Can I give you the money for four skewers first, can you choose another skewer after eating?" He tasted the delicious one first.

Chen Yu laughed, this is really a solution.

"Okay, you can try it first."

The owner of the canteen satisfactorily chose the few skewers he thought were the largest, put them in a bowl, and then went to pick and choose some vegetarian and soy products, except for the bamboo shoots he didn’t like, and the tasteless fried dough sticks. Most of the others took a bunch.

At first, he thought that radish and cabbage were cheap, but when he saw it, it was so big. In the pot, the cabbage leaves were cut in half and put on, and they came out in a big bunch.

The radish pieces also look thick, especially compared with the lotus root slices.

I didn't feel it when I took it, but when I settled the account, my good guy, one yuan and ninety-five cents was almost two yuan.

The boss almost thought that the calculation was wrong, so he counted it again. Yes, the main reason is that the meat is expensive, and the four skewers cost one yuan.

He gritted his teeth in distress, it was too expensive, but he was reluctant to put it back.

Yes, just this meal.

The owner of the small shop was heartbroken. He opened such a shop and made a lot of money, so he could afford it.

After giving the money, I started to eat, and once I ate, the little heartache flew away.

It's so delicious, how can it be so delicious, even radish can be so delicious, why?

The boss couldn't figure it out, but he didn't delay his eating. He couldn't resist a bunch of skewers for 5 minutes, and he swallowed them all.

"Delicious, cool!" The boss is not as good at eating spicy food as Dalong. After eating the spicy food, he gasps, but he still thinks it is delicious, it is so tasty.

"I still have skewers, don't I?" An adult man, those few skewers are nothing, not to mention filling his stomach, and his mouth is not full.

"Yes, what kind of meat do you want?" Chen Yu asked.

The owner of the small shop hesitated again. It was hard to decide before eating it, and it was hard to decide after eating it. They were all delicious.

"Chicken." Finally succumbed to the size of the meat.

"Cook me another vermicelli." Still unable to hold back, he took out the money again.

Chen Yu picked up a chopstick of vermicelli and put it into the strainer. After eating the chicken skewers in two or three bites, the boss looked at the vermicelli still tumbling in the pot, and said, "Give me another bunch of radishes and a bunch of frozen tofu."

When the vermicelli was cooked and the radish and frozen tofu were finished, Chen Yu handed over half a bowl of vermicelli and smiled: "I'll add an extra spoonful of soup."

Big client!

"Hey, good." The owner of the small shop consciously took advantage of it, and gleefully finished eating the vermicelli. His mouth was full of flavor, and he wished for another serving.

I can't come, I can't come, if I continue to buy it, my daughter-in-law will have to tear off his ears when I go back at night.

The boss looked at the soup base left in his bowl, licked his lips, and said, "Can I return your bowl later?"

"Okay." Chen Yu didn't care, the shop is here, people can't escape, and the bowl has to be taken back for washing, so there is no rush to use it now.

The boss took the bowl, ran to the noodle shop, and raised his voice: "Old Wang, hurry up, get me some noodles."

Boss Wang picked up a bowl of noodles for him without a word, and said sourly: "It's really so delicious?" Is it better than my hand-rolled noodles?

The owner of the canteen mixed the noodles well and started to suck them up. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, if you don't believe me, go and try it."

Didn't he just go to taste it, and he paid more than two yuan for a taste.

Boss Wang had a look of disbelief, and even suspected that this guy was a trick.

But that scent, which kept drilling into his nose, was too overbearing, even the scent of his own noodle shop couldn't cover it!

"I'll go and taste it. If it's not delicious, I'll tell your wife to go."

Boss Wang went, and Boss Wang came back. Clutching his purse, which was missing a few dollars, and holding half a bowl of soup, he quickly ordered a bowl of noodles for himself, and sat opposite the owner of the canteen, sucking and sucking.

Chen Yu's business is going smoothly, and the aroma of mala tang is too overwhelming. Compared with this spicy and stimulating aroma, any baked sweet potato steamed buns with tea eggs are vulnerable.

Most of the guests who come here say that the price is expensive, but it smells too good, so give it a try, and you can still afford it for a dime.

It’s fine if you don’t try it, but if you try it, it’s not something that can be solved with a dime. You want to eat this and that, and before you know it, the money will be gone.

The ones that are less are one or two yuan, and the ones that are more can eat three, four, four or five yuan.

If he buys a lot, Chen Yu will add more soup, whether he uses it to cook rice or noodles, it's up to him.

These people felt that they were taking advantage of it, and they even used their own lunch boxes to serve it. If they asked for more soup, Chen Yu would also add it. He brought extra soup base, and if it was not enough, he just added it.

While selling Chen Yu, he took the skewered ingredients from the bucket and put them into the pot. That's it, it was almost too late, and there were still customers waiting.

On the first day, he didn't dare to prepare too much, so he asked his two aunts to prepare nearly a thousand skewers, intending to sell them all at noon and continue in the evening.

As a result, they were all sold out in less than an hour after the workers left work.

This is because it took a lot of waiting time for some ingredients to be cooked, otherwise it is estimated that they will be sold out in half an hour.

At that time, there were still a lot of people waiting, and some people were choosing skewers. Chen Yu touched the bucket and found it was empty, only to find that the ingredients were sold out, and quickly stopped the subsequent orders.

Those who didn't buy it regretted that they shouldn't hesitate to act slowly, and those who bought it didn't feel distressed, and they were glad that they acted quickly enough.

"Come again tomorrow, come tomorrow if you want to eat!" Chen Yu shouted at the top of his voice.

I originally planned to sell it at night, but now...forget it, it's so cold at night, so don't bother.

Although a bit salty, Chen Yu thought, what is the purpose of earning money?To let himself live comfortably, he bought a house, sold it like this every day, and earned a lot of money, so he didn't bother himself.

"Go, go home." Chen Yu walked back happily with Dalong.

"You sit in the back." Dalong was riding in front, the food ingredients on the cart were sold out, and most of the soup base was missing, so gather them together to make room for Shen Yu to sit down.

Chen Yu didn't go up: "I'll run for a while, and get in the car when I'm tired."

It's cold, he doesn't want to move, that's not good, he still has to grow, he has to find time to get a skipping rope, and jump from time to time.

Dalong was pedaling a tricycle in front, and Shen Yu jogged behind, sending him all the way back to Shen Yu's home.

It was past one o'clock when we got home, Chen Yu was alright, he ate breakfast late, Dalong was probably already hungry, so he ate a little mala tang earlier, so he just put it on.

Chen Yu took out the specially steamed rice yesterday, added sausages, vegetables and eggs to make a hearty fried rice, and shared it with Dalong.

After eating, Chen Yu gave Dalong a dollar: "Salary money."

Dalong didn't answer, his face flushed red: "I didn't do anything, and I ate too much..."

The bowl of malatang he ate before contained several skewers of meat, which could be sold for at least two yuan. He did odd jobs to help others, and he could earn two yuan for a day of heavy physical labor.

He just helped to collect the bowls and move the things. The actual work took less than an hour, and he also charged someone a dollar. He was guilty of it!

"Take it. Meals are meals, wages are wages, and I have other things to ask you in the future." Chen Yu stuffed the money into his hand.

Dalong doesn't talk much, but he is diligent. Today, besides collecting money and cooking skewers, Dalong is responsible for other chores.

Dalong held the banknote stiffly, was at a loss for a while, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to wash the dishes."

What was washed was not the bowls the two of them had eaten just now, but the dirty bowls left over from selling Malatang before, and filled a bucket.And those sticks must be cleaned.

Chen Yu didn't stop Dalong from working, the more he stopped, the more uncomfortable he became, and he just said: "There is hot water on the stove, use hot water to wash."

These bowls and bamboo sticks will be scalded with boiling water after washing to ensure hygiene as much as possible.

In the afternoon, Aunt Yu and Aunt Zhou came over and continued to wash vegetables and cut meat skewers for tomorrow's skewers.

Seeing Dalong washing dishes in the yard, Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized, no wonder Dalong has no work today, and was kicked out by Aunt Yu early in the morning.

She sighed in her heart, Aunt Yu is still smart, but unfortunately she only has a daughter in her family, and Chen Yu is a young boy, so it is not easy for her to come to work.

When the two aunts came over, Chen Yu was doing homework. Although there were wires and light bulbs installed in this room, the wattage was not large, and the lights were dim. Reading at night was a bit taxing for the eyes.

Chen Yu was afraid of being short-sighted, so she tried to spend free time during the day doing homework and reading books.

Aunt Yu went to get the bucket for skewers to clean, and when she saw the empty big bucket, she nodded happily, "Are they all sold out?"

Dalong grinned: "Business is good, and Xiaoyu cooks delicious food, so come buy them all."

The two aunts are very happy, Chen Yu's business is good, their work can last for a long time, and as Chen Yu said before, the wages may be raised.

"Then prepare some skewers today?" Aunt Yu asked.

Chen Yu nodded with a smile: "It's a little more, more... one-half."

I prepared eight or nine hundred strings yesterday, and today I can make more than 1000.

After all, the price he set is still a bit high. In the future, most people may not buy so much at one time. If you are greedy, you can try a bunch or two.

If there are too many, it will definitely be sold out, but it will take more time. It is too cold to go out to do small business, and he has other things to do, so he can't miss his homework.

If you want to expand this business in the future, you can save some money to buy a shop. He has seen it today. Most of the houses facing the street are still used as housing.

Although the reform and opening up have been introduced at the moment, many people's ideas have not changed, and they look down on the self-employed.

Especially those who live at the gate of the big factory, they often see the workers walking by in work clothes, teaching the children at home, they all say that they should study hard, and they will work as workers in the factory in the future. Do small business in the future.

Chen Yu thought about it, looking for opportunities to see if he could find a house and a shop, no matter what he did, it was easier to develop than a small cart.

There is no need to think about these things for the time being, there are still a bunch of trivial matters in front of us.

Because the amount of skewers was increased, the ingredients in the family's reserves were not so abundant, so Chen Yu told the two aunts to help them buy some vegetables for each family.

Despite the inconspicuousness of big radishes, the price is also cheap. Today, they are selling very well. Many people like the radish skewers in the clear soup pot, saying that they are so fresh that they make their tongues drop.

The meat had to be bought again, so many people gathered in the factory area, of course there was a butcher shop, Chen Yu called to Dalong, and the two of them rode a tricycle and bought a lot of meat back.

When the two aunts left in the afternoon, Chen Yu asked them to take a message to Mr. Zhao and order another batch of bamboo sticks.

Today, some customers bought and took away to eat, and the sticks were also taken away. The one he recycled was missing a batch, and he had to increase the amount tomorrow. Fortunately, he had prepared a lot before.

After a busy afternoon, the skewers that will be sold tomorrow are ready, the soup is also boiled, and Chen Yu goes back to the house to settle the accounts.

Today, I sold a total of 50-[-] skewers, including [-] skewers of meat, earning more than [-] yuan.

Although the unit price is [-] cents a skewer, as long as you buy meat skewers, you can either buy two together, or buy together with others, just to save [-] cents.

There are about 200 strings of soy products, and the income is more than 30 yuan.

There are about 40 skewers of vegetarian dishes, and the income is more than [-] yuan.

There are about thirty or forty servings of vermicelli, [-] cents a piece, and the income is more than seven yuan.

Today's income is a total of 140, seven yuan and twenty cents.

In terms of cost, apart from the pots and pans, the most expensive thing is the meat, which costs nearly 20 yuan.

Soy products cost six or seven yuan, and vegetarian dishes are even cheaper. Da radish costs only two cents a catty, cabbage costs four to five cents, and others are a little more expensive, but not much more expensive. It cost less than ten bucks.

In other words, the cost of ingredients is just over 30 yuan.

In addition, there are big bones to cook the soup, oil, and various seasonings, all of which are costs.

Big bones are not expensive, but oil and seasonings are more expensive, but these things can be used for a period of time, and it is not easy to calculate the cost of a single purchase.

Chen Yu roughly calculated that today's net income should be around 100 yuan.
