Chapter 297: Don’t Be Anxious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fortunately, he had finally met his senior brother this time, which saved him from being sent away again.
At least, ever since he met his senior brother, his bad luck had not flared up again.
Therefore, he couldn’t act rashly. He could only rely on his senior brother’s recommendation to get permission to follow Luo Cheng. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
After Luo Cheng’s matter was resolved, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng walked towards the shop.
Today was the opening of the fast-food business. She wondered how everyone was preparing.
By the time they reached the shop, everything was going smoothly.
There were already two customers eating at the noodle stall. Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang stayed behind to cook and sell noodles.
Zhao Xiu and Li Shun were washing vegetables with Bai Shu and the other two workers in the other shop.
At this moment, the pork that Luo Cheng had brought back had already been cut.
There was shredded meat, lean meat, and some minced meat.
Mao Dao was heating the fire for Gao Chen. The big pot was also washed and ready to cook.
When Li Xiaoran arrived, she didn’t disturb everyone. Instead, she stood at the side and watched Gao Chen cook.
It had to be said that stir-frying big pots of food also required skill.
Aware of his limits, Gao Chen didn’t stir-fry a large pot immediately. Instead, he tried to double the number of ingredients and stir-fry them first.
One had to admit, the food tasted good when it was cooked like this.
Of course, the taste of this big pot of food was naturally different from those meticulously cooked dishes in restaurants.
Even so, this big pot of food tasted very good.
After taking a few bites with her chopsticks, Li Xiaoran gave an affirmative answer.
After receiving Li Xiaoran’s affirmation, Gao Chen was much more at ease, so he went to cook the next dish confidently.
It had to be said that Gao Chen was really good at cooking. Each dish he cooked was better than the last.
Soon, ten dishes were stir-fried and delivered to the table made by the shop.
There were two rows of dishes. One row was five meat dishes, and the other row was five vegetarian dishes.
Just like the noodle shop, there was also a large pot of bone soup made from pork bones placed at the side for free.
After everything was ready, Zhao Xiu changed into clean clothes and waited for the customers to come.
There was also a sign outside the shop that said “Daily Fast Food”. It even specifically indicated that customers would be able to eat food the moment thev entered.
As expected, when the customers who came later saw the sign, they looked at the shop curiously.
After the ten dishes were placed neatly in front of everyone and they asked for the price, the customers ordered and sat down.
The rice was priced according to the number of bowls. There were a total of three bowl sizes, and the corresponding prices were different.
A small bowl cost one copper coin, a medium-sized bowl cost two copper coins, and a large bowl cost three copper coins.
One meat dish cost five copper coins, and a plate of vegetables cost three copper coins.
After the food was delivered, the customer buried his head in his food.
As expected, the customers felt that the food tasted fresh and delicious.
Most importantly, the food was fresh yet convenient, saving them a lot of time.
More and more customers rushed to the fast food restaurant. Of course, some people who were less well-off still went to the noodle restaurant.
Of course, there were also some poor people who didn’t go to any shops at all. Instead, they bought some cheap food from the snack stalls by the road.
Therefore, people who set up stalls earned money as well.
Of course, the two shops that earned the most money were Li Xiaoran’s.
Whenever Gao Chen saw that there was not enough food, he would stir-fry another pot of food.
Because every dish was stir-fried in an iron pot and warmed on a small stove, the customers ate the food warm.
When the day was over, everyone was excited.
After sending off a few workers, Li Xiaoran and the others sat around and counted the money.
Gao Chen was tired after working all day, so he didn’t join them. Instead, he returned to his room to rest.
On the first day of business, the fast food shop earned for a total of ten taels of silver. After deducting the cost of ingredients and labor, they earned a total of five taels of silver in profit.
The profit was very high!
This was when there were not many people traveling on the official road.
If there were more people traveling on the official road, they would earn even more.
Of course, that was not how business revenue was calculated. The daily turnover was unstable.
Sometimes more, sometimes less. It depended on the average profit. Even so, when the family saw how profitable this fast food was, they were all overjoyed.
“No wonder you wanted to start this fast-food business. It’s indeed a good way to earn money! I saw many customers buying food when they heard that they could eat warm food here. The business at the noodle shop became a little less lively! ” Li Xiaoqing thought about the situation during the day and said.
“That’s normal! What I’m worried about is that if this continues, others might imitate us when they see how popular this business is!” Li Shun thought of something and said, “When you all went to lunch today, when I was there getting food, I saw someone secretly watching what was going on in our shop!”
As expected, the next day, the stall owners by the official road also started promoting fast food.
Although there were not as many fast-food dishes, they still attracted some merchants and snatched some customers.
When Li Xiaoqing saw this, she was enraged.
“Sister, look at how shameless these people are! They copied our business idea and snatched our business!”
Li Xiaoran saw it too, but she had already expected this, so she didn’t mind.
“So be it! No one can snatch what’s ours away! ”
“Sister, you’re too kind!” Li Xiaoqing stomped her feet and said.
“How old are you? Why are you so worried? What if you get wrinkles? You won’t be able to earn all the money in the world. It’s fine as long as there’s enough money for us to use. Besides, our fast food tastes much better than theirs. People with good taste definitely won’t eat their fast food! ” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.
Sure enough, before long, a large caravan arrived.
The caravan stopped when they saw two large shops by the official road.
Ignoring the greetings of the stall owners, this group of people walked straight to Daily Fast Food.
Seeing that the ten dishes looked delicious, the group ordered some food.
At the same time, there were also people who wanted to eat a mix of everything.
After knowing that the two shops were run by the same people, this group of people ordered knife-cut noodles and steamed buns.
Just like that, the fast-food business also improved the sliced noodles stall and bun stall’s business.
As there were too many people, some people ordered dishes, but sat at the noodle restaurant to eat..
