Chapter 14 – 14 Medium Lottery
“Hmph, didn’t you say you’d come to try our fried cakes yesterday? Why are you only coming today?”
Tuan Tuan’s words immediately left the Sichuan restaurant owner feeling extremely embarrassed.
He had actually heard about how popular Chen Yu’s food cart was yesterday.
But remembering the bold claims he had made, he hadn’t dared to come over.
However, his small Sichuan restaurant wasn’t very far from the food cart, and yesterday, the aroma of fried cakes had filled his restaurant all day long.
“It’s my ignorance, I never imagined that a fried cake could be made so famous, well-known near and far! Here I am, bringing my staff to have a taste, give me two hundred to start with!”
Although Tuan Tuan was still a bit annoyed, she didn’t say much since business had come knocking, she took note of the flavors, received the money, and then handed the slip over to Tong Ya.
With Tong Ya’s help, the efficiency of the fried cakes delivery greatly improved today.
By the time it was nearly seven o’clock, the queue had dwindled significantly, but in just three hours, he had sold over nine thousand fried cakes.
It was almost the same number as what he sold the entire day yesterday! The turnover also reached an impressive thirteen thousand yuan.
With this calculation, the initial cost invested yesterday had all been recouped.
Indeed, having an extra person meant extra strength, and the money earned doubled too!
However, Chen Yu was still somewhat worried, the self-service vending cabinet was a double-door refrigerator. Yesterday, he hadn’t paid for it, only giving two hundred yuan for tables and chairs.
Such a modern refrigerator would need a trial period. Moreover, the owner was not far from the food cart and also liked Chen Yu’s fried cakes very much, so he didn’t even ask for a deposit.
He didn’t know how much the refrigerator would cost. If it was too expensive, not much money would be left today.
“Chen Yu!” Tong Ya suddenly called out, it seemed to be the first time she had used Chen Yu’s name, as she used to call him Tuan Tuan’s dad.
“It’s almost time, I’ll take Tuan Tuan to school now!”
Chen Yu waved his hand, “Go ahead, there aren’t many people now! And I’ve made so many semi-finished products, I can manage on my own!”
As he spoke, Chen Yu packed another fifty fried cakes.
“Take these, let the teachers at the school have a taste!”
Tong Ya gladly accepted without protest, “Then I’ll consider this as helping you promote it!”
After taking off her apron and gloves, Tong Ya directly took Tuan Tuan’s little hand and left, but she didn’t take off the parent-child outfit she was wearing.
By ten o’clock in the morning, the number of people coming to buy fried cakes had trickled down considerably, most were heading to the semi-trailer to buy beverages.
After all, no matter how delicious the fried cakes were, they were usually just for breakfast or dinner, no one would eat them all day long as their main meal.
After preparing a batch of semi-finished products and replenishing the vending machine inside the semi-trailer, Chen Yu finally took a break.
By now, the amount on his phone’s payment app had reached eighteen thousand yuan, of course, this included the turnover from selling drinks as well.
Seeing the half-remaining raw materials in the food cart, Chen Yu felt an indescribable sense of security.
It looked like he only needed to maintain this amount of raw materials in the future.
When he opened the system page, Chen Yu saw that his points had accumulated to eighteen thousand four hundred and twenty-eight point five.
As expected, the system’s calculations were precise, subtracting yesterday’s cost, the net profit up to now today was four thousand two hundred yuan, and naturally, the accumulated points were also four thousand two.
Adding to the previous amount, it was exactly this number!
The system had sent a message before that reaching a hundred points would allow one drawing opportunity. Besides the initial free drawing offered by the system, he hadn’t yet taken any drawings.
Out of curiosity, Chen Yu clicked open the drawing page.
