Chapter 16 Opening Ceremony (3)

Li Liang entered the store with a group of drivers, Wang Xiulan and Chen Chunhua hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a seat, and there were familiar drivers in twos and threes, and soon the store was full of people.

Zhang Meng had not yet recruited customers at the gas station, and when he saw Li Liang's signal to him, he also walked in the direction of the cement factory.

Chen Ze and Tao Tao had already made a large basin of rock sugar water, and Li Liang took them to quickly pour a bowl of rock sugar water for each driver.

"Uncles and brothers, the menu is hanging on the wall, we provide rice stir-fried noodles here, as well as delicious rice wine!" Li Liang took out a small notebook and continued: "Everyone thinks about what to eat, just wave my hand and greet me, I will come to order you immediately!"

Soon, some drivers discussed in twos and threes, and some familiar drivers prepared a few people to order a few dishes together, some ordered a single dish alone, and some ate pasta.

"Give us a table of scrambled eggs, fried meat with chili, stewed small miscellaneous fish, and a pound of rice wine; by the way, what are the fresh vegetables?" sat at table 8 near the door, sat four drivers, one of whom asked.

"Today's fresh vegetables include eggplant, beans, bitter gourd and cucumber!" Li Liang replied.

"Then let's have a stir-fried bitter gourd, the weather is hot, reduce the fire!" the driver said, and then took out a few banknotes from his pocket, "Little boss, the vegetable money is 2 yuan 1, and the wine is 5 cents, which adds up to 2.6 yuan, and this is 2 catties of food stamps and 4 cents for the meal, and the four of us are five taels each." It's 3 pieces in total, right?"

"Okay, I'll serve the food right away!" Li Liang quickly wrote down the dishes in his notebook, collected the money, and then said to the drivers, "The rules of our store, everyone can also give money after eating!" At the same time, he instructed Chen Ze and the brothers: "Chen Ze, Taotao, refill the rock sugar water for the uncles!"

"Give money after eating, isn't the little boss afraid that we won't give it after eating?"

In this era, when everyone goes to a state-run restaurant to eat, they all order good dishes and give money, so everyone is used to it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as everyone eats happily! Help us publicize and publicize!" Li Liang replied with a smile, everyone is also joking, people in this era are generally relatively simple, and they can't do the bad thing of eating without giving money.

The drivers also laughed, and the drivers of the other tables also began to order, and Li Liang wrote down the dishes ordered at each table according to the table number and sent them to the back kitchen. Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiulan quickly started in the kitchen, two pots, one for stir-frying, and one for noodles. Wang Xiulan is responsible for lighting the two stoves, and Chen Chunhua is responsible for stir-frying.

Li Shuangzhu and Zhang Qingxiang looked at the two women who were a little too busy, the two people who were chopping wood behind the house put down the firewood knives in their hands, Zhang Qingxiang took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help with the noodles, and Li Shuangzhu took the bamboo wine spoon hanging on the wall and scooped the wine from the wine jar under the counter and put it into an empty bottle. This wine spoon is customized to 2 taels and a spoonful, and you don't need to weigh it again when you scoop the wine.

"It's served, your little trash fish stewed! Brothers, please use it slowly!" Li Liang came over with the dishes.

"Uncle, your shredded meat noodles are here, please use them slowly!"

Chen Tao also wanted to serve the food, but Li Liang was afraid that he would be unstable at a young age, so he didn't let him, so Chen Tao had to continue to sit behind the counter to make his rock sugar water.

One after another, people began to finish eating.

"Boss, check out!" shouted a driver who had finished eating.

Zhang Meng also had a harvest at the cement factory, and there were constantly drivers coming from the direction of the cement factory, and Li Liang beckoned everyone to find a vacant seat to sit down.

A new driver saw a driver he knew who was already eating in the store, so he asked, "Lao Li, how does it taste?"

"Lao Wang, you're here too! The food here tastes good, and the prices are cheaper than those of state-run restaurants. By the way, the rock sugar water is also delicious, and it is cold and relieves the heat. As he spoke, the driver surnamed Li greeted, "Boss, two more bowls of rock sugar water!"

"Okay. Tao Tao replied first.

In this way, several people were busy until more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and when the guests in the store had finished eating and left, Taotao poured a bowl of water for everyone, and the two families had time to sit around a table and drink water while resting.

Zhang Meng had already returned from the cement factory, and he said eagerly: "Liangzi, count quickly, how much money did you make at noon?" Not to mention Zhang Meng, even Zhang Qingxiang and the other four adults also looked at Li Liang with expectant eyes.

Li Liang took out all the money he received at noon from his pocket, piled it on the table, and said to Chen Chunhua: "Auntie, you can count it!"

"Good!"

The money on the table is very miscellaneous, the largest denomination is five yuan, and more are one, five-corner, two-corner, one-dime banknotes, and some cents.

"One piece, two pieces, five pieces!" Chen Chunhua read while counting, "A total of 31 yuan, 5 cents and 3 cents, and 15 catties and 2 taels of food stamps!" I didn't cook enough in the morning, and many people ended up eating noodles with the dishes.

"Wow, we've made so much today!" Zhang Meng exclaimed, his mother Chen Chunhua's monthly salary is only 37 yuan.

"Brother Meng, we have to remove the cost! The material money has not been removed, and there are labor costs, which are our income. I estimate that there may only be a net profit of around 30%. Li Liang reminded.

"About 30% is almost 10 yuan, if I can have such an income every day, I will laugh in my dreams!" Chen Chunhua said with a smile.

After listening to Chen Chunhua's words, everyone laughed happily.

"Okay, the guests have finished eating, it's time for us to eat, Chen Ze and Taotao, what do you two want to eat?" asked Chen Chunhua.

"I want to eat braised pork!" Tao Tao replied happily.

"Good!"

Next, Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiujuan went back to the kitchen to cook, Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu continued to sit and rest on the table, and Zhang Meng took a broom to sweep the floor. Li Liang took the wine spoon and scooped out two bottles of rice wine, he knew that his parents and Zhang Qingxiang could both drink some, today's results were good, and a few of them would definitely drink some later. In fact, he himself is a little hungry for alcohol, and he has not touched a drop of wine after being reborn for so long! But the shadow of drunkenness in his previous life is still there, and he has made up his mind that drinking in the future must be stopped in moderation, and those who will never drink again do not know, otherwise he will not know where he will be reborn next time!

Soon Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiujuan made the dishes, and their families ate them, and the amount of dishes must be large. Chen Chunhua used all the leftover meat to make braised pork, stewed a pot of braised crucian carp, and stir-fried fungus fried pork, chili stir-fried pork and a plate of scrambled eggs.

Zhang Meng put the two tables together, and there were just eight people seated. Li Liang poured wine for the four adults, poured it for Zhang Meng, and then poured a small bowl for himself.

Wang Xiujuan looked at Li Liang with a frown, and was about to open her mouth to prevent Li Liang from drinking.

At this time, Zhang Qingxiang spoke: "Well, I'm happy today, Zhang Meng and Liangzi also drink a little, Liangzi, you are still young, don't drink much!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhang!" Li Liang saw his mother's frowning brows, worried that his mother would object, and immediately agreed.

"Uncle, Tao Tao and I also want to drink!" said Chen Ze, who is 14 years old this year and only one year younger than Li Liang, and also wants to drink some wine.

"Okay, just a little drink!" Zhang Qingxiang agreed.
