Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - 15 A Larger Facade (2/2)

A middle-aged woman drew closer and pulled out her phone, ready to pay. “Give me two to try too!”
“Auntie, today is the first day of the trial opening for these vegetable pockets, and we only have a little over five hundred. Starting now, we’re limiting purchases to one per person!”
Upon hearing this, those in line instantly became restless.
At first, they thought the price was a bit expensive and had no plans to buy, but when they heard Chen Yu mention the limit, plus Zhang Fan’s expression and the unique aroma of the vegetable pockets, the men and women were suddenly impulsive.
“Young man, let me buy ten more sugar cakes from you so that I can get another vegetable pocket!”
Chen Yu shook his head, “I’m really sorry, sir, but today the vegetable pockets are just for a trial sale. They will be available without limits starting tomorrow!”
The old man looked regretfully at the half-eaten vegetable pocket in his hand, “I was even thinking of getting one for my grandson. Sigh! I can only wait until tomorrow!”
In truth, Chen Yu also wanted to sell all six hundred vegetable pockets, but since it was a new product, he had to save some for Tuan Tuan and Tong Ya to try!
By five o’clock in the afternoon, Tong Ya drove up in a white sedan with Tuan Tuan and parked next to the food truck.
“Wow, there are even more people here today than yesterday!” Tong Ya exclaimed in surprise, quickly taking out an apron and gloves from the car and intuitively rushing into the food truck.
The apron and gloves were something she bought especially at noon; the ones inside the truck were a bit too large and weren’t comfortable when she wore them the past two times.
Tuan Tuan also set up a table, took out paper and pen, and sat down skillfully.
“Ah, isn’t that the lady teacher from yesterday? Why is she wearing a mother-child outfit today? She couldn’t have gotten together with this young man, could she?”
Tong Ya blushed and her heart thumped at the comment, but she didn’t bother to clarify and adeptly packed food for the customers.
Chen Yu seemed to have already gotten used to such teasing, and having Tong Ya by his side gave him an inexplicable sense of comfort.
So he just kept making fried cakes and vegetable pockets, not responding or explaining.
Tong Ya stole a glance at Chen Yu, then immediately suppressed all her emotions.
“Wow, there’s a new product today, huh?” Tong Ya asked subconsciously, trying to divert her attention.
“Right, I specially saved some for you and Tuan Tuan!”
Tong Ya’s heart skipped once again!
However, Tong Ya was indeed busier today, occasionally needing to restock the sales fridge from the semi-trailer parked nearby.
By nine o’clock at night, all the fried cakes and vegetable pockets were sold out, with a turnout even more sensational than the day before.
“Boss, you’re closing up shop already? Any more fried cakes? It’s hard to find something to eat late at night here for those of us staying overnight.”
The internet café youths, who had already bought fried cakes and vegetable pockets, came back only to seem somewhat dejected.
“Sorry, they’re all sold out!” Chen Yu apologized.
“Then we’ll come back around four-thirty in the morning! Boss, your fried cakes are absolutely top-notch, they not only invigorate us but also help us achieve the highest score of the venue!”
After the group of internet café youths left, Chen Yu and Tong Ya had already jointly cleaned up the food truck.
[Congratulations Host on perfectly concluding a day’s business, today’s net profit seventeen thousand five hundred yuan, accumulated points seventeen thousand five hundred! Your total points now stand at twenty thousand seven hundred twenty-eight point five!]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Yu immediately felt that his hard work throughout the day had not been in vain.
With the system there to calculate net profits and points, Chen Yu didn’t worry excessively, simply checking his account balance and the cash on the counter.
He now had a total of thirty-one thousand seven hundred yuan in hand!
By these calculations, he was getting closer to his goal of buying a house.
However, Chen Yu glanced at the food truck behind him, then at the row of storefronts in front.
Maybe it was time to rent a bigger storefront!
Today, while working, he clearly felt that the food truck was quite cramped, and besides, he didn’t have a good solution for the charging issue of the food truck!
