Chapter 34 - Chapter 34 - 34: Sales Increase by Fifty Percent (2/2)
However, those uncles and aunties kept whispering among themselves, roughly saying that Chen Yu and Xiao Ya made a good match.
By 6:30 PM, Chen Yu had all the fried cakes and vegetable pastries that the uncles and aunties had ordered packed up.
Now, with four large deep-fryers working simultaneously, in just an hour and a half he had fried up a quantity of eight thousand.
This was almost equivalent to a big half of the usual afternoon’s shipments.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable with his small food cart.
Just after the uncles and aunties had left, Zhang Fan entered the shop from next door, coming up the steps.
“Old Chen, I’ve got your food cart deal sorted. They only need to make a few modifications, and they’ve already transferred the money to me,” Zhang Fan said.
“That’s great!” Chen Yu was instantly excited.
He no longer needed that food cart, so being able to sell it was definitely an income.
Zhang Fan didn’t say much and took out his phone.
“Although the food cart is second-hand, it was converted from an RV after all. It’s worth a market price of 150,000,” Zhang Fan said.
While saying this, Zhang Fan transferred 150,000 to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, “Didn’t you say the other party needs to make modifications? Why did you give me all of it?”
Zhang Fan patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, “The total they transferred was 180,000. I’ve already kept 30,000 for materials and the cost of modifications, which is enough.”
Chen Yu didn’t say much, “Then thank you very much.”
Zhang Fan waved his hand, “No problem, it’s just business! By the way, do you still have your stuff in that food cart? If not, I can haul it away right now.”
“I’ve already moved everything to here; you go ahead and take it.”
“Got it!”
Zhang Fan rubbed his hands together and called a few workers from the shop. They hauled the food cart and the trailer into the car shop together.
Seeing the extra 150,000 in his phone balance, Chen Yu decided to buy a car the next day.
In weather like this with heavy rain, it’s really inconvenient to get things done without a car.
“Boss, do you have fried cakes for sale today?”
Six somewhat clean-looking young men, holding umbrellas, arrived at the shop.
Chen Yu recognized at a glance that these six young men were the internet cafe youths who often came to buy fried cakes and vegetable pastries.
Compared to before, they looked much healthier.
“Yes, how many do you need?” Chen Yu quickly went back to the kitchen.
“Three thousand fried cakes and a thousand vegetable pastries, is that enough?”
“Of course, it’s enough!” Chen Yu called them to take a seat, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
Before long, several more people arrived at the shop one after another.
Apart from those who bought a few items on their way to or from work, the rest were all bulk purchases.
In the end, the half-finished products Chen Yu had made during the day were not enough, so he had to make more.
It wasn’t until 10 PM that Chen Yu finished the last big order.
Just as he was about to sit down and rest, the system chimed in with a notification.
[System notification, automatic settlement of the day’s revenue at 10 PM.]
[Today’s net profit is 12,300 yuan, earning 12,300 points, currently accumulating a total of 169,740 points.]
Chen Yu was surprised for a moment. Yesterday, he had spent 75,000 yuan just on raw materials, not to mention tables, chairs, benches, and the whole set of kitchenware, and yet he still managed to profit today.
However, upon careful consideration, Chen Yu felt relieved.
Before this, he would usually stop doing business by 8 PM due to depletion of raw materials.
But today he had been open until 10 PM, without even a break to rest in between.
Moreover, the raw materials used today were much more than usual, with sales alone reaching over 100,000.
After making some quick calculations, Chen Yu realized that his current savings amounted to 285,320 yuan.
