Chapter 209 Victory in Sight
Xia Qing's hands didn't stop; she firmly gestured the name.
"This sauce is excellent, and the customers love it. I'm not afraid of being tired; I'm just afraid of missing an opportunity. I'll work like crazy for the next two weeks, and I'm sure it will work. Then we can go and have the surgery."
Xia Qing's eyes were bright, filled with the reckless energy of youth.
Grandma looked at her, her heart already wavering.
"Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Grandma looked at Chen Yuan and nodded through gritted teeth.
"Boss Chen, thank you. We'll try it for two weeks as you said. If we can really earn more than 1000 a day, then I'll agree to your offer."
After saying that, Grandma took Xia Qing's hand and instructed her, "You must do a good job. Don't embarrass Boss Chen, and don't embarrass yourself."
Chen Yuan saw Xia Qing nod slightly, and he could finally put his worries aside for the time being.
After making the agreement, Chen Yuan left first.
Back home, Chen Yuan didn't rest at all. He first ordered some high-quality cold noodles and asked someone to deliver them to the designated location first thing tomorrow morning.
Then Chen Yuan quickly pushed out the pre-sale information for Xia Qing's stall.
Xia Qing deeply felt Chen Yuan's personal energy on the second day.
From the moment she sets up her stall, many people come to take photos.
Xia Qing was busy working by herself, making one cold noodle sheet after another on the hot plate.
She brushed on the sauce, cracked the egg, flipped it over, and folded it, moving twice as fast as usual.
At first, Xia Qing was nervous and flustered, and seemed clumsy, but she quickly adapted to the rhythm.
Xia Qing's maternal grandmother didn't rest either.
Since she couldn't do too much work, she simply sat next to the thermos of plum juice and helped make the plum juice.
From the moment I set up my stall, the payment notification sound never stopped.
The combination of cold noodles and plum juice is very popular.
One bite of fiery, savory sauce, the next bite of icy, sweet and sour flavor.
Many people find this combination of hot and cold flavors irresistible.
After finishing his business, Chen Yuan wandered around Xia Qing's stall. Seeing that Xia Qing was busy, he didn't ask her any questions.
Xia Qing was so busy that she didn't even see him.
When they closed up shop at 3 p.m., Xia Qing opened her phone, pulled up the payment records, and then added them up one by one with her grandmother.
Xia Qing was stunned when the calculator displayed the last amount.
2841 yuan!
After deducting the cost of ingredients, gas, and stall management fees, the net profit remained steadily at 1673 yuan.
One thousand yuan.
It was so easy to cross over, and there's so much more to it than that.
Grandma didn't believe it at first, but the two of them checked it several times to make sure the number was correct. Only then did a very complicated expression appear on her face.
Xia Qing was overjoyed: "Grandma, we can do it! This sauce is delicious, and the plum juice is also very tasty. Everyone likes it."
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief, patted her granddaughter's hand, and her voice was noticeably lighter, clearly indicating that some of her stubbornness was beginning to waver.
"Okay, let's do a good job tomorrow. I believe you'll be able to have the ear surgery soon."
Xia Qing's face was full of joy as the two packed up their stall and continued to discuss tomorrow's plans.
Xia Qing's grilled cold noodles stall saw its daily turnover steadily increase in the following days, quickly surpassing the 2000 yuan mark.
the other side.
Zhang Liping was very efficient. In just a few days, she had already led three people to stand in front of Chen Yuan's breakfast shop.
At a glance, Chen Yuan saw that the three women were all middle-aged women in their forties or fifties. Their clothes were clean, but they looked somewhat old.
His eyes revealed the weariness left by years of hard work, and when he looked at Chen Yuan, there was a hint of awkwardness and ingratiation.
Zhang Liping pulled Chen Yuan aside and, in a familiar tone, got straight to the point.
"Boss Zhang, I've brought the people to you. These three are all impoverished households that our neighborhood has identified."
"This short-haired woman's surname is Li. Her husband was paralyzed in a work accident two years ago. Her son is a senior in high school and is very nimble. The house is always kept clean and tidy."
"The woman in the middle is surnamed Wang. She's divorced and has two daughters. Her parents have been taking medication for years. She used to work as a cleaner and also made steamed buns at our neighborhood committee's canteen. She was quite good at it."
"This tall lady's surname is Zhao. Her husband is sick and they have incurred debts. She has been running a stall in the vegetable market and she is quite efficient at accounting."
As Zhang Liping spoke, a look of sympathy for these people appeared in her eyes.
She deliberately pulled Chen Yuan aside to talk, because she was afraid that what she said would hurt their feelings.
"These families are all struggling, but they are honest and hardworking. I wouldn't bring someone with bad intentions into your life, right? You can choose one; see which one suits you."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and realized that only he and Aunt Li were full-time employees in the shop; the others who came to help were all volunteers.
Based on the current situation, even if all three of them were recruited, it would only be just right.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, Sister Zhang, I'll let them work for three days first, and I'll see how they perform. If they do well, they can all stay."
Zhang Liping nodded eagerly, "Oh, that would be wonderful!"
Chen Yuan said to the three women, "Ladies, we don't keep idle people in our shop. We won't treat you unfairly either. Try it out for three days first. If you don't feel it's suitable, you can leave anytime. If I don't feel it's suitable, I won't keep you. What do you think?"
Sister Wang asked softly, "So, were those three days of work done for nothing?"
Chen Yuan said, "The trial period is 100 yuan a day for these three days. After we officially sign the contract, it will be 6000 yuan a month, including one lunch. You will eat whatever I eat."
"However, I want to tell you in advance that, as you know, my shop has a very high customer flow from morning to noon, so it is very tiring. You need to be mentally prepared."
Sister Li was surprised that she could be hired so quickly, and that she would even receive a salary for the three-day trial period. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she nodded repeatedly in assurance.
"Boss Chen is absolutely fine, don't worry, I will definitely work hard here."
Sister Wang quickly chimed in, "Me too! Don't let my thin frame fool you, I'm got plenty of energy, I'm sure I can get the shop's work done well."
Sister Zhao is a bit dull and doesn't know how to talk. She was so excited at the moment that she couldn't say anything. She just bowed halfway to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan led the three people around the store and explained the tasks for each day.
And the tasks were assigned to the three of them.
The three men left, expressing their deepest gratitude.
Zhang Liping stayed, and now she finds Chen Yuan pleasing to the eye no matter what.
"Now that you have more and more staff at your shop, I see that the customer traffic hasn't decreased at all. If this continues, I think you should just rent that storefront next door as well. Once the shop is expanded and you hire a few more people, you'll sell even more."
