July 22nd, a very ordinary day for ordinary people, has a special meaning for Zhang Han's family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is the day when his family's first noodle restaurant officially opens, and it also represents the official start of his mother's career.

Early in the morning, when many people are still asleep, 100,000 firecrackers and 100 two kicks are lit in turn, and the next moment, the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and the attention of the whole street was instantly attracted.

Just these firecrackers and two kicks cost a lot of money, if it was in the past, Zhang Jianjun might be more distressed. But today he didn't feel distressed at all, standing outside the door of his noodle restaurant, looking at the two kicks that kept roaring and bursting overhead, and laughed from ear to ear.

The door of the noodle shop was full of people, three layers inside and three layers outside, all looking up at the sky, watching the two kicks move more than 20 meters high, and then exploded in the air, and even the passing office workers stopped and looked at it curiously.

After a while, all the firecrackers went off and the noodle restaurant officially opened.

Although the strong smell of gunpowder in the air did not dissipate, it did not seem to affect the appetite of the guests. The big sign at the door has long been written, trial operation for seven days, eat noodles and send eggs, the number is limited on a first-come, first-served basis...... Ordinary people like to get a little cheap. Although there is a slight complaint about the noodle restaurant only sending eggs for seven days, but if you don't eat it now, if you eat it again in seven days, I am afraid that there will be no free eggs, and everyone rushes in again.

In fact, most of the people gathered here now are regular customers who eat early on weekdays. Everyone has long known the news that the Zhang family is going to open a noodle restaurant, and they are also looking forward to it. No one wants to eat on the street if you can eat in a restaurant, right? It's not clean and falls off the shelves.

Now, the Zhang family has opened a noodle restaurant, which is open from 6 am to 10 pm, and you can come and eat whenever you want in the future, which is much better than street stalls. And the noodles are still at that price, but the eggs are no longer free, so it doesn't matter, everyone is used to eating the noodles of the old Zhang family, and the taste is also right, even if it is a little more expensive, it can be accepted. Eggs or something, if you don't want to spend money, you can not eat them, and if you eat one less egg, you can't be hungry. And even if you eat an egg, it's only five cents, which is really a conscience price.

After all, with the store and the waiter, the overall cost has increased a lot, and the most important face money has not changed, and everyone is already very satisfied.

So almost instantly, the 80-square-meter store was filled with customers who had been waiting outside for a long time. In the open kitchen, the noodle shaving master and Zhang Han's uncle began to take turns to get started, and the noodles were thrown into the pot like small whitebait, boiling with boiling water.

In a short time, bowls of fragrant knife-cut noodles were served.

The side dishes that can be matched are also abundant, including braised pork, large meatballs, fried tofu, dried tofu, eggs, and ham sausages...... Meet the needs of customers with different tastes. And these side meals are not expensive, not to mention that eggs are delivered for free. Two dried tofu five cents, ham sausage five cents, fried tofu one dollar and two large pieces, and three centimeters in diameter meatballs are only one dollar. And the crispy braised pork is the most expensive, five pieces a piece, but it's really affordable, such a big braised pork is only five pieces a piece, and the oil is sprayed out of the mouth when eaten, not to mention how fragrant.

There are also side dishes, another master chef's cooking skills are quite good, meatballs and braised pork are from his hands, he also specially mixed several side dishes, all of which are seasonal vegetables, and tried his best, the side dishes are very delicious. However, there is a charge for such a side dish, five cents for a plate, which is not expensive, and those who are willing to spend money can buy a plate.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to spend money, the noodle restaurant also offers free pickles, homemade pickles, and bought shredded pickles and dried radish, which taste a little worse than the master chef's mix, but it's better than free. In any era, the word "free" is the most attractive, so a large pot of kimchi was eaten in less than half an hour, and shredded pickles and dried radishes were almost eaten.

Zhang Jianjun hurriedly replenished the stock, brought a new pot of kimchi, and filled the other two pickles at the same time, but this still couldn't stand the crazy guests.

The customers in the noodle restaurant walked in waves, and the customers who were busy until 9 o'clock in the morning gradually decreased.

After the last guest wiped his mouth and got up to leave, the two waiter girls took the lead in slumping on the chairs, panting vigorously.

Luan Meiqin stood behind the cash register, sweating profusely, and couldn't even bother to drink saliva. Several people in the kitchen seemed to have been fished out of the sink, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Zhang Jianjun is the most idle one, only occasionally calling the master of the stir-fry to help add a side dish, and his hands and feet are soft, which shows how terrifying this wave of guests is, a full three and a half hours of high-intensity work, not idle for a second, it is a person who can't stand it.

"I wasn't so tired working in the cafeteria before."

The master from the canteen of the screw factory is surnamed Liu, Zhang Han calls him Uncle Liu, he is a big fat man who is white and fat, and his appearance is quite consistent with his profession. At this time, Chef Liu was also sitting on a stool in the kitchen, taking off the chef's hat on his head, fanning the wind vigorously, his chubby face and neck were covered with sweat.

"That's for sure, let's cook in the factory, and we make a big pot of rice, and if we go to that pier in advance, we won't have anything to do. Washing and choosing vegetables are all done for us, we just need to stir-fry, it must be easier than here. Even if you used to cut noodles in the screw factory, you were not the only one, and at that time, there were few people who ate noodles, the lunch break was short, and most of the people went to eat ready-made, who would want to wait for this bowl of noodles.

But today is really scary enough, these people are as if they have never eaten noodles, aren't they just giving away an egg for nothing, as for such an exaggeration? Good guys, you didn't see it inside, and the people who were holding side dishes outside almost got into a fight, as if they had eaten this meal for a few years during the famine, and they were all crazy. ”

Another master from the same factory as Luan Meiqin, who is also surnamed Zhang, also said with palpitations.

He was a lot more relaxed than the others, but he was also tired enough, mainly because he was tired. In the past, when I worked in the cafeteria, the workers ate all of them in an hour before and after eating, but here it was noisy for three and a half hours, but the noise was unbearable, not to mention the work.

Now he can only sigh that the 800 yuan is really not easy to earn. It was twice as much as the wages given by the factory, and the level of fatigue was almost twice as much, but fortunately he was still young, not yet forty years old. It will take another five or ten years, and no matter how much money he gives, he can't do it, he is afraid that he will be exhausted to death.

The two masters began to discuss what you said and I said. Everyone is a master from the factory-run canteen, and they have a lot of common language. In the past few days, I have become familiar with each other, and the relationship has gradually become closer.

Zhang Han's uncle also interjected occasionally, and the three of them sat in the kitchen, and the noodle pot over there was still steaming, which was really embarrassing for them.

The two little girls couldn't say a word at this moment, and they were really tired of going around in various circles for three and a half hours, helping to serve noodles and clean up the dining table where the guests had left. Fortunately, their family is from the village, and they have been working with their parents since they were children, and they have some strength and endurance. If this were a little girl who grew up in the city, it would be good to last for an hour.

The noodle restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and it will reopen at 11:30 a.m., and the hour and a half in between is for everyone to rest and eat, so even though everyone is sitting there casually, they don't have to worry about customers coming to their door.

At noon, there was another wave of customers, of course, much less than in the morning, at least not so full. But even so, there were still a lot of people, basically at least two people sat at each table, and people who ate lunch were more willing to spend money than breakfast, and roast meat and meatballs began to be sold in large quantities. This busy work lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and finally it was time to close.

At half past five in the afternoon, they had to continue to open, but there was more time in between, the two little girls and the two masters went home to rest, such a high-intensity work they encountered on the first day, it is normal for the body to be unaccustomed, and it is necessary to rest well at night to have energy.

Zhang Han's uncle was resting in the storage room behind the noodle shop, where there was a small bed prepared for him.

The hotel was empty, and only the family of three remained.

Zhang Han came over after lunch, and he ate lunch with his two assistants and Yuto Ueno. He had to draw comics in the morning, so he didn't come over to help. When they came over at noon, the two little girls were already cleaning.

After the waiter cleaned up and left, he and his father Zhang Jianjun gathered together in front of the cashier and watched his mother settle accounts there.

"Calculate quickly, how much money did we earn from these two meals today?"

This is what they are most concerned about, opening a noodle shop is to make more money, and now that they are finally idle, Zhang Jianjun, who has been thinking about it for a day, finally has the opportunity to ask.
