Chapter 24: There's a fixed booth
"Here's a spicy meal made with dogwood." Li Mumu opened the small crockpot of spicy seeds, "According to my own receptivity, I will try to put a little bit first, I think I can accept it, and I like it, I can try to put more." ”
Li Mumu filled a small bowl for everyone, scooped some soup, and put some marinade.
Gu's mother tasted the original flavor first, "It's delicious, this soup is so fragrant!" ”
"The soup is pork bone broth that we boiled." Li Mumu said, "If it's just ordinary hot water, it does have less taste." ”
"Mother, you can put some spicy food to taste." Li Mumu said.
"Okay." Gu's mother first tentatively dipped a little bit with a spoon and melted it into the soup, tasted it, and was immediately pleasantly surprised, "It's really different with the spicy one!" ”
"I think I could have eaten something more spicy!" Gu's mother put some more this time, her face was slightly red when she ate, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's delicious." ”
Others also added spicy peppers.
Gu Xiuxiu added a little, she had never eaten spicy before, it was delicious and spicy, but the spicier it was, the more she wanted to eat it.
Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin watched everyone eat spicy food, and they also followed suit.
But Li Mumu was worried that the two were too young to accept it, so he dipped the tips of his chopsticks and melted them into the soup.
It was almost the same, except for a drop of red oil floating on the surface of the soup.
But the two little ones were already very happy, and felt that they were the same as the adults, and they were snoring and snoring.
"Delicious!" Gu Baiyuan said crisply.
"Delicious!" Gu Baijin was on the side and said in a similar way.
"Then shall we sell hot and sour noodles tomorrow?" Wang Cuizhen asked expectantly.
"Now there is a problem, if you sell hot and sour noodles, you can't pack them for customers to take away." Li Mumu said, "Unless the guests bring their own bowls, or we provide them, let the guests eat on the spot." If we provide it, we don't have so many bowls. ”
"In addition, if the guests eat on the spot, even if there are no tables, chairs and benches, at least there must be a place to sit." Li Mumu said, "Especially when the hot and sour noodles are hot to eat, but the bowl is too hot, and the guests are afraid that they can't hold it." ”
"Hey! If only we had a shop in town. Zhang Caiping frowned and sighed sadly.
"I see that the tea stalls and noodle stalls in the town are also placed outdoors, like that, I have inquired before, you need to go to the government to register, choose a place, pay the rent, and you can put it away. You can pay 300 yuan a month. ”
"That's easy, let's rent a stall." Zhang Caiping said, "Now that we deduct the cost, we can earn about 260 wen a day, and the rent of 300 wen a month is still quite cheap." ”
"Mother, what do you say?" Li Mumu asked Gu's mother.
Gu Mu smiled and said, "This is your business, you can do it." To do business, you must always get bigger and bigger, and you can't just go to a mobile stall for the rest of your life. We have a fixed stall, and in the future, maybe we can open a restaurant. ”
That's support.
Li Mumu admires Gu's mother's foresight very much, that is, in modern times, with family conditions like the Gu family, I am afraid that few parents can support their children's business like this, especially their daughter-in-law's business.
So Li Mumu discussed with Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping, and decided not to sell hot and sour noodles tomorrow, and after selling the marinade, he would go to the government to register and pay the rent.
"In this case, then we have to prepare the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs." Gu Mu said, "In this case, there will be more things to bring to and from the town, so let Shang Yong and Shang Wei send you over at that time." Wait until it's almost over, and then have them pick you up. ”
"For dishes and chopsticks, I want to go to the Zhenwei Building in our town to ask." Li Mumu said, "Zhenweilou is the largest restaurant in our town, and it is more particular, and the dishes and chopsticks are old and cracked, so they will not be used." I'm going to ask them if they have any of these flawed dishes and chopsticks, and if they can sell them to us at a low price. ”
"That's right!" Zhang Caiping slapped her thigh, "It's still your brain!" ”
"As for the tables, chairs and benches, we don't need to be much better, I see that those stalls are all shabby tables, chairs and benches." Wang Cuizhen said.
"It's easy." Gu's father said, "I'll go to the forest carpenter, he does carpentry, and there are usually a lot of leftovers that are not needed, so I went to him to buy some at a cheap price." Like tables, chairs, and stools, I made them for you. ”
"Dad, it doesn't take too much, two or three tables are enough." Li Mumu said, "If we have a small business, there won't be too many customers." The rent of 300 Wen can't rent much space. And the hot and sour noodles are eaten quickly, and the flow of customers is very large. The weather is getting colder, and you may not be able to sit for long. ”
"Done." Father Gu nodded.
The next day, Li Mumu and the three went to the town, sold out the lo-mei, and then went their separate ways.
Li Mumu was eloquent, so he went to Zhenweilou to talk about collecting defective dishes and chopsticks.
Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping went to the government to register and rent a stall.
Li Mumu here, after coming to Zhenweilou to explain his intentions, Xiao Er couldn't be the master, so he found the boss.
"You're the proprietress of the Gu family's snacks, right?" Boss Zhao said with a smile.
Li Mumu didn't expect that the owner of Zhenwei Building would still pay attention to one of her food stalls.
"You're polite, it's an honor that our food stall is still in your eyes." Li Mumu said with a smile.
"Your food stall, who in our town doesn't know if the business is good." Boss Zhao said with a smile, "In the future, we will still be competitors." ”
Li Mumu hurriedly waved his hand, "We are just ordinary croppers, just make something cheap." Those of us, how can we compare with Zhenwei Lou. ”
The boss seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Mumu's answer, and squinted with a smile, "I heard Xiao Er say, you want to buy the defective bowl from our store?" ”
"I heard that Zhenweilou is exquisite, the bowl is missing, and the chopsticks are old, so they won't be used anymore." Li Mumu said embarrassedly, "We have a small business, and we really don't have the capital to buy so many bowls, so we have the cheekiness to ask, can you sell us the dishes and chopsticks that we don't use here cheaper?" ”
"We set up a stall on the street, and customers who want to come and eat our snacks should not mind, the dishes and chopsticks are old." As long as it's clean.
"That's no problem, anyway, even if we don't use it, we will throw it away, we don't need you to give money, we will give you as much as you want." Boss Zhao said happily.
"No, no, no." Li Mumu waved his hand again and again, "Although we are a small business, there is no reason to take advantage of you." Besides, if the bowl is broken in the future, it needs to be replenished, and you can still be cheeky and care if you can't do it? ”
"You still give me a price, and if we still need it in the future, we will have the face to buy it from you." Li Mumu said.
Boss Zhao didn't expect Li Mumu to be so clear.
