Chapter 47 - Chapter 47 - 47: The Leap of Quality (2/2)

Today is Wednesday, and according to past experience, Wednesday and Thursday are the busiest two days.

But now with the addition of marinated dishes, perhaps things might be different.

Tong Ya also arrived in the kitchen early today, but now she no longer had a place of her own there.

So all she could do was sit idly by and watch Chen Yu.

It’s just that her smitten glances always made Chen Yu a bit uncomfortable.

“Tong Ya, why don’t you sit somewhere else, or come next to me and give me a hand?”

Tong Ya pouted, her impish charm on her face intensified.

“Call me Ya Ya, and I’ll come over!”

Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment, this was a blatant threat.

Yet, as Tong Ya continued to gaze at him, he indeed felt uncomfortable.

“Alright, Ya Ya, come over!”

“Okay then!”

Tong Ya immediately hopped over to Chen Yu’s side: “What do you need me to do?”

“Bring me the white vinegar!”

As instructed by Chen Yu, Tong Ya quickly got to work.

Today Chen Yu had put two more large pots to use, so they could process a little more pork at a time.

“Oh right, there’s a dance competition this afternoon, a student-teacher event, and both Tuan Tuan and I need to perform. Could you manage to come see it?”

Chen Yu didn’t think much before answering, “Of course.”

After all, the shop was already on the right track, and with Chu Hong, a young girl here, he didn’t have to worry about anything.

And judging from yesterday’s experience, they should be able to finish preparing a thousand pounds of marinated meat by three in the afternoon.

Then they could just leave it on a low flame in the large pots to keep warm.

By then, all he would have to do is leave a few instructions with Chu Hong, assigning her as the shift leader for some light management, and the whole shop could operate on its own.

“Then I’ll call you later, you have to come, okay!” Tong Ya emphasized once more.

“Got it!”

In the morning, people still mostly bought deep-fried cakes and vegetable triangles; after all, no matter how delicious the marinated dishes were, it felt a bit odd to have them for breakfast.

Possibly because of the preparation needed for the dance competition, Tong Ya took Tuan Tuan to kindergarten at six o’clock.

Just as Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan had left, Zhang Fan rushed into the shop in a hurry, holding a basin in his hand.

“Old Chen! I didn’t manage to get much marinated meat yesterday, take the opportunity now while it’s quiet to give me ten pounds! No, make it fifteen.”

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment: “Better take less! It’s just your sister-in-law and the kids at home; they can’t eat that much.”

“Old Chen, you don’t know, I’ve got guests over for lunch, and your marinated meat is just perfect.”

Chen Yu waved his hand: “Then come back for it at noon. I’ll set it aside especially for you. If you take it now, you’ll still have to reheat it by lunchtime.”

“Okay, then. But for now, give me a couple of pounds to take back for eating.”

“Alright then!” Chen Yu immediately chopped off one pound of pig’s head meat and one pound of pork knuckle and handed it over.

Zhang Fan then swiped 500 yuan: “Old Chen, I’ll pay for the ten pounds all at once, and I’ll come back for the remaining eight pounds at noon.”

By comparison, today’s customer flow was a bit higher, seemingly drawn by the marinated meat.

Moreover, today’s sales of vegetable triangles were significantly higher than the deep-fried cakes.

If things continued this way, the vegetable triangles might sell out completely today.

Before noon even arrived, the four hundred pounds of marinated goods had already sold out.

By comparison, this pace was quite a bit faster than yesterday’s.
