Chapter 6 Hot Business
The little girl saw that her grandfather was so intoxicated, and she was a little puzzled.
Her face is also very exciting!
10 pieces of creamy fish and meat, 6 steamed dumplings, the old and the young were gently burped, and the little girl even covered her stomach with a look of chagrin, thinking that she had eaten too much.
"Young man, how much?"
"$15, sir." Tang Hai said with a smile. The food is actually not expensive, but the loss or something should also be counted on the customer, such as the pot of oil, he will not use it again after tonight. The things eaten by this grandfather and grandson are at most 2 US dollars, but the additional losses add up to about 5 US dollars Tang Hai is not a loss, and his business philosophy is to earn 200% and be very satisfied! Compared with the domestic 2 yuan materials that sell 10 yuan fried rice, rice noodles, and meat noodles, he is quite conscientious!
The old man took out his wallet, put a hundred dollars, and took his little granddaughter away.
"Old man!"
"Young man, your craft is worth the price! I'm not going to eat a $15 cut of Mexican fish! The old gentleman was a little angry, Tang Hai was stunned when he heard it, and there was someone who took the initiative to increase the price?
Little Lori turned her head, pulled her fingers at the corners of her eyes, stuck out her tongue and grimaced, and then walked around the old man happily.
Tang Hai took the money and was stunned for a long time before he slapped his head hard.
Big customer!
Why didn't you let them come back tomorrow? If they came every day, wouldn't they be able to earn $3,000 a month? What a miscalculation!
"Boss, how many skewers are you on this plate of roasted leeks?"
"Six strings, each with three rolls." Most Americans don't know how to cook leeks, and they will go to Chinese restaurants to eat them, and Tang Hai sells this as one of the characteristics.
"Sir, I've heard of cross-bridge rice noodles, and I've heard that this is a delicacy from a certain state in southern China, and I've always wanted to try it."
"If you'd like to have a copy, I think I can tell you the story of Mixian Bridge, the heroine of this story is a good woman who values beauty and wisdom and loves her husband......"
"I'd like to have a boiled radish with thick juice."
"Ma'am, it's a meal now, and you can't just eat this. If you are afraid of fat, I will bring you a cold skin, which is made of rice, not wheat, and the calories are much lower than pasta, so it is not easy to get fat. ”
Since the old gentleman left a hundred dollars, Tang Hai's small shop business has exploded, it seems that this old gentleman is some kind of celebrity here?
After all, it's just a small food truck, and the cooking time must be controlled, so you can't expect Tang Hai to make high-end Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour tenderloin.
But his main focus is Huaxia street food! Pastries, breakfast, barbecue and the like.
In the eyes of Americans, China is a mysterious country, with Chinese food, Chinese manufacturing, a long and terrible history, and Chinese kung fu.
While Tang Hai uses the signboard of Chinese cuisine to make money, he also strives to promote Chinese food with his own skills!
He had estimated the amount of food before, and a woman of 100 catties would probably be full after eating two plates of ordinary plates, and the amount would be about the same. The lowest priced food costs $2 a plate, which is $4 for a meal.
For those who have a big stomach or are addicted to eating, as long as they don't order black plates and purple plates, they will cost $10 at most.
Soon, the woman who came first finished eating the fried noodles, but she was obviously a little unsatisfied, and after looking at it, she ordered another 'boiled radish'.
Tang Hai handed over the orange plate, put three more strings of beef brisket on the radish, and poured a little secret sauce.
"You're the first guest today, and I'll give you the beef skewers." Tang Hai looked at the two dishes ordered by the woman in a row, and finally realized that the other party might not just want to lose weight......
"Thank you, and I wish you a prosperous business." The chick hesitated for a moment, not polite.
After a while, the chick's friend also came, and the dozen or so seats were not filled!
Tang Hai's greatest ability to cook is not actually all kinds of knife skills, material selection or anything, but can operate three pots! Cook three dishes at the same time!
But now I also feel struggling!
But he had a smile on his face, it wasn't when he was an apprentice and he didn't get any money for how much he worked, but now the more he does, the more he earns!
As long as he receives the money box, it is all his money!
It was busy until about 10 o'clock in the evening that Tang Hai could stop and rest.
Sitting in the armchair, he found a white Marlboro dot and let the cigarette spin around his lungs before he regained a little strength. He doesn't usually smoke, but he's too tired at this point.
Marlboro is a Swiss brand, but it has always been one of the top sellers in the United States, leading many people to think that it is an American cigarette. The best-selling cigarette here, apart from the White Marlboro, is 'American Spirit', a cigarette with no flavor additives.
People here don't show off in smoking, so the price of cigarettes is not expensive, such as this white Marlboro, $9.8 a box, billionaires like it, and Tang Hai, a part-time beggar, used to occasionally come to one when he was picking up garbage.
The reason why Marlboro is not an American spirit is because Tang Hai always listened to the people in the village blowing Marlboro when he was a child.
It is estimated that no one will come for a while, and he will have to close, after all, he lives far away, and it is not safe to go back too late.
Extinguish the cigarette, take back the cigarette case, and Tang Hai plans to smoke the second half next time.
Just as he was about to pack his things, Tang Hai met a pair of eyes.
To be honest, Tang Hai was startled, the other party was a black man, his clothes were dirty and close to black, so he squatted there, if it weren't for the white part of his eyes being white, Tang Hai wouldn't have been able to find him, this is really ...... Born with stealth skills!
"Do you want to eat anything?" Tang Hai didn't look like the other party had bad intentions, so he asked, and at the same time he was vigilant in his heart, feeling that it was better for him to bring an extra lamp next time.
"Sir, your ...... Fried pho? It tastes great, and I've seen that girl eat it deliciously. ”
O Nima!
How long ago was that?
This guy has been sneaking for three hours?
Tang Hai was shocked for a moment before he said, "Two dollars a piece." ”
The black man rubbed his clothes: "Sir, I only have one dollar, can you make me half of it?" ”
After all, Tang Hai had lived in the United States for several years and knew about some black Americans. It is true that blacks working in factories can earn three to five thousand dollars a month, but it is difficult for blacks here to find regular jobs. And the poorer the black man, the more he can give birth, and it seems that this black man is younger and thinner than himself, and he doesn't know how many sisters he has in the family.
"Help me clean up my stool."
"Huh? Oh! Be! Thank you sir! The black man jumped up with excitement after understanding what Tang Hai meant.
Anyway, these foods can't be sold tomorrow, just leave the refrigerator to eat meat and dumplings by yourself, Tang Hai poured all the rice noodles for about five people into the pot.
Stir-fry and bagged.
"Sir, this?" The black young man handed over the money and was about to pick up something, but when he saw this big bag, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do you have younger siblings at home? Take it back and give it to them to try it too. Tang Hai looked indifferent, and his eyes didn't even look at the black man.
The black boy's eyes suddenly moistened.
