Chapter 76 - Chapter 76 - 76 Accessing Takeaway Systems (2/2)
Wang Qingshan warned, “It’s only morning now, the demand will be even greater by lunchtime. After integrating into the delivery system, the coverage area has at least tripled since yesterday, and the flow of people will accordingly increase, too.”
Chen Yu frowned tightly. He had already joined the takeout system, he couldn’t possibly cancel it!
After adjusting his breathing slightly, Chen Yu immediately called and ordered 3000 kilograms of pig heads and 3000 kilograms of pork knuckles.
When Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan woke up and thought about coming to help in the hall, they were instantly stunned to see it as busy as a battlefield.
This was the first time they had seen so many delivery guys lining up and pouring into the shop.
By ten in the morning, the flow of people still hadn’t decreased; if anything, it had grown even larger.
The twenty high-pressure cookers had been working non-stop. As soon as the braised dishes were ready, they sold out immediately.
The two-story hall was even more crowded, with delivery guys and neighbors jostling each other, and some even got into disputes.
Chen Yu’s breathing suddenly became rapid. If the situation continued to develop like this, even if the shop expanded, he feared it wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.
Some neighbors, not wanting to cause Chen Yu any trouble, even brought out little tables and set them up outside.
With the increase in foot traffic, Zhang Fan’s auto shop and Xie Jiang’s home store also reaped considerable benefits.
Just that morning, there were more than forty orders from delivery guys at Zhang Fan’s auto shop for tire replacements.
Xie Jiang, who was decorating next door, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In the previous days, the foot traffic at Chen Yu’s shop was relatively stable, but today it had increased by more than threefold.
And most of them were delivery guys.
It was one thing for them to come and pick up meals, but they also had to order a portion for themselves to take away.
By eight-thirty in the evening, the shop was still bustling.
There were continuous takeout orders, without any sign of stopping.
Yesterday’s order of 4000 kilograms of pork, plus today’s 6000 kilograms, made a total of 10,000 kilograms of braised meat, and now only about 200 kilograms were left.
At nine o’clock, Chen Yu hurriedly changed the shop’s status to ‘closed,’ and only then things quieted down.
At that moment in the first-floor hall, dozens of delivery guys sat neatly, wolfing down their food.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think this place was a canteen specifically for delivery guys.
“I’ve been delivering takeout around here for so long, and I’ve never heard of this shop before.”
“It’s just too delicious. I only had a small taste at noon, and I was instantly hooked.”
“They must be using the takeout system for the first time today, that’s why we haven’t heard of it.”
“This noodle dish is so aromatic, I want another bowl!”
…
After a long day, Chen Yu was exhausted. It had been a long time since he felt this way.
He waited until the delivery guys left and then sat down with his staff to eat.
If Wang Qingshan hadn’t specially kept twenty kilograms of braised meat, they might have indeed sold out completely.
“Boss Chen!”
Wang Qingshan had already changed his way of addressing him, “It was really bustling today. It’s only the first day, and there might be even more people tomorrow. Those twenty high-pressure cookers might be working over capacity.”
Chen Yu let out a relieved breath, “We’ll buy some more later. Pay attention to limiting quantities when selling tomorrow. We’re not yet able to handle such a large volume.”
The six young girls also looked defeated.
Especially Li Yu and Su Qing, who spent the entire day on the second floor, daring not to move.
Li Yu even burned her hand, but didn’t dare to take a rest.
Moreover, the frozen deep-fried cakes and vegetable pastries in the cold storage were already running out today.
If they didn’t restock soon, they might run out of supplies tomorrow.
