Chapter 674: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

Three days before the new store opened, Song Xia offered a big discount of 20% off on all merchandise. Because business was so good, she did not stop Wei Zhu from coming to help during these three days. The last day was Saturday, and even Yue Ting came.

Almost all old customers come for the new products, because the meat patties, fried rice and fried noodles are so delicious, so the rice and soup must be good too.

The best-selling item is soup. Almost all customers, no matter what they order, will order a bowl of soup.

"It's so delicious! I knew it!"

"Woo~ I feel like my life is worth it if I can drink soup like this in my lifetime."

"Seriously, I've been to restaurants that cost one or two thousand per person, and the soup there wasn't as good as this one."

"The cumin beef is so delicious. It seems I can't lose any weight."

"The scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious. The boss's cooking skills are so good. It would be a loss to open a snack bar and sell it at this price!"

"If this was a proper restaurant with a slightly better decoration, this spicy pork with pepper would cost dozens of dollars. Even if it's over a hundred, there would be plenty of people eating it."

"I really don't know if the boss is doing charity or opening a shop. By the way, the fried pork intestines in this noodle are amazing! Boss, can you sell this pork intestines by the bowl?"

Song Xia smiled and replied: "Because there are not many, they can't be sold individually!"

"Then I'll have another bowl of pig intestine noodles!"

"Is it really that delicious?"

"Do you still doubt the boss's craftsmanship?"

As early as the morning, there was a queue at Song Xia's snack bar. Some passers-by who didn't know what was going on, seeing the large number of people, also wanted to try it, so they successfully turned a group of new customers into regular customers.

"Eat more. After the first three days of opening, there will be no discounts!"

“Even without the discount price, the taste and price are very affordable!”

"Boss, can't we take it away?"

“You can take away, but each person is limited to three servings.”

The customer hesitated and didn't know what to choose: "Then give me a cuttlefish meat pie soup, a portion of pork rib noodles and a portion of cumin beef rice to take away."

"I also want……"

Wei Zhu was in charge of packing. She felt that she could no longer remember what the customers wanted. Her memory was usually pretty good. Fortunately, she had been doing this job since she was a child, so she was not too flustered at this moment.

The other two employees hired by Song Xia were also busy and sweating. One was cleaning the tables and tableware outside, and the other was constantly making rice noodles. Because it was so busy, almost all customers had to prepare their own food and serve it at the serving counter.

However, after finishing the morning rush hour and preparing the dishes, the lunch rush hour began within an hour or two. There were many people eating rice at noon, so Song Xia's arms never stopped working until two o'clock in the afternoon, when she cooked a few work meals for them.

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Xu, take a break and eat something first."

"Okay, boss."

Both of them were recruited by Song Xia herself. They also lived in the village in the city. They were a few years younger than Song Xia. They were both quick-handed and clean. Their husbands worked as couriers and takeaways in the surrounding area. Because their children were in college and did not need to be taken care of personally, they came here to find a job and happened to meet Song Xia's recruitment. Because she had a premonition that the business would be very busy, Song Xia offered a much higher salary than the waiters around. She also told them about this in advance, and they were very satisfied.

They all came from rural areas. They were not afraid of hard work, but were afraid of not making money. They originally thought that if they couldn't find a job, they would go to a factory, but they didn't expect to get such a high salary working in a snack bar.

Although the working hours are relatively early, the boss said that they only work until 8 o'clock in the evening, which is good! Their husbands work longer hours than this! In total, their monthly salary is almost as high as their husbands!

Moreover, the boss also provides three meals a day, not to mention they are so delicious! Although their husbands are not covered, the unit price in the snack bar is not high, and they handle the ingredients themselves, so they don’t have to worry about unsanitary conditions. In the future, they can also solve three meals a day here.

"Boss, your meal is so delicious!" The two of them ate voraciously. They had never eaten such delicious food before!

"If it tastes good, eat more. We'll be busy later in the evening!"

There were four of them, and because they were quite tired, Song Xia only cooked three dishes. However, the portions were quite large, and even Wei Zhu ate two bowls of rice.

After a short break, Song Xia started to steam the soup again. Two employees, one washed the dishes and the other picked the vegetables. The division of labor was very clear. Wei Zhu simply wiped the tables and chairs.

Song Xia is the busiest. After steaming the soup, she also has to fry the noodles and vermicelli in advance. She does not sell porridge, soy milk and meat patties at night, which saves her some work, but she will have more orders requiring her to cook on the spot.

Customers kept coming in throughout the afternoon. It started to get busy at 4:30 and officially entered the peak period at 5:00. Most of the customers in the evening dine in. By 7:00, almost all the ingredients were sold out, so she hung up a sold-out sign and cleaned up with her employees.

In the evening, she left four servings of clay pot soup and fried two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, which became their staff meal.

The two female employees were reluctant to drink the soup. They felt that the other two dishes were enough and said they would take the soup back for their husbands.

Song Xia had no objection to this because it was originally left for them and it was their business how they dealt with it.

"Wife, why didn't you drink it?" Xiao Meng's husband came back after her, smelled the fragrance and opened the box.

"I have plenty of opportunities to drink, so you drink."

Xiao Meng's husband didn't really drink it alone, but went to the kitchen to get a small bowl and they shared it.

On the other hand, Xiao Xu and her husband are similar: "Just for the three meals a day, it's worth working there."

"Yes, the salary the boss gives us is about one-third higher than that of other restaurants I asked about before. Although it is a bit tiring, working in a restaurant is always tiring. Besides, we have a day off every Sunday. After the Chinese New Year, we can save a lot of money this year."

"When my child graduates, maybe I can save enough for a down payment on a house for him."

"So I have to work hard, and it would be best if I could keep doing it. Honey, tomorrow morning you can go to the snack bar to buy breakfast before going out to work. It's not expensive, it tastes good, and the quality is reliable."

"it is good."

The next day, from morning to night, Song Xia still didn't have a moment of rest. Wei Zhu and the two employees were fine, but Song Xia was tired of flipping the wok all the time. It was a pity that this job couldn't be replaced by others because no one else could cook the food as well as she did.

On Saturday, Yue Ting came to help, and there were fewer people working, so I didn’t feel as tired as the previous two days.

On Sundays, Song Xia simply closed the store. This was the rest time she arranged for the store. If it was so tiring every day, there would be no point in making more money. Song Xia gave her daughter Wei Zhu some money and asked her to go shopping for clothes. She also specifically asked Yue Ting to choose a few more clothes for Wei Zhu.

She was alone in the store calculating her income over the past three days. She was shocked to see that in just three days, she made more than she did in a week when she was setting up a stall! Excluding rent, labor and other expenses, she still made more money than setting up a stall, and it was worth her hard work.
