Stall setting starts from Malatang

138 Chapter 138, Dreamland 2
"Drink? I can't."

Lin Xiaojian stared, and quickly waved his hands.

His drinking capacity is about the level of ordinary mountain people, seven or eight bottles of beer, two or three glasses of red.This kind of drinking capacity can be used for family dinners and drinks. Drinking outside is not much different from not knowing how to drink. It is easy to humiliate yourself if you say you can drink.

"Hey, no, how can a man not drink?"

Hearing Boss Lin's weakness, Xiao Gang immediately felt a sense of responsibility to teach and educate people.

"Which owner of the restaurant doesn't know how to drink? When you meet a familiar customer, why don't you offer him a few drinks?"

Xiaogang said old-fashionedly, at this moment, the identities between the two seem to have changed positions. He has become a small boss who has experienced many vicissitudes, while Lin Xiaojian is a naive student staying in an ivory tower.

"Mmmmmm, yes yes yes!"

Facing the advice, Lin Xiaojian nodded repeatedly, not daring to have the slightest opinion.Have you never drank wine or seen others fight for wine?Poor drinking is the original sin on the wine table, and you are not qualified to speak.If you sing against others, the result can only be drunk and ugly.

"Then it's a deal. Next Saturday, count yourself in. Liu Ting, please remember to remind Boss Xia Lin."

Xiaogang finished paying with a sigh of relief, and added Lin Xiaojian's WeChat by the way.

In the end, of course, Liu Ting won the bet, and the invincible devil spicy produced by the system is not in vain.When Lin Xiaojian was cooking, he seemed to be looking forward to seeing them. He would definitely not cut corners, but make it spicy enough in proportion.

Especially when paired with beer, it is so spicy that it feels like a fire is burning in your mouth.As we all know, don’t drink water when it’s hot. It’s adding fuel to the flames. Capsaicin is insoluble in water, but it will spread capsaicin to other places in the mouth, making all the oral cells feel hot, and the flames are everywhere.

Unless you drink a bottle of drink when you take a spicy bite, you can dilute the spiciness in proportion.

Xiao Gang didn't care about losing the bet.For him, the so-called gambling contract is nothing more than a fun game in the wine field.Sometimes when he rolled the dice, he wished he could lose. He always won, and his mouth was dry from shouting.

After everyone paid the bill and left, Lin Xiaojian roughly estimated that the fellow villagers' association contributed nearly 400 yuan in turnover this time, which was worth a day's performance when the business was not good.

In just three days, he has made a turnover equivalent to the usual 20 days, which is equivalent to about one month when rounded up. This is an achievement that was unimaginable before.

Now let him go back to the business of 600 yuan a day, and it is estimated that people will be idle. It is hard to imagine how he survived the days when he could not even make 200 yuan a day, and lost money after buying vegetables.

"We must expand the scale!"

This is Lin Xiaojian’s biggest feeling after the three-day food festival.As the saying goes, "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality." After having a turnover of four to five thousand, and then asking him to go back to three-digit daily sales, just thinking about it makes him feel lazy and unmotivated.

"Such a working state must be very idle, right?"

Prior to this, Lin Xiaojian had not been very positive about expanding the scale.Although I know that I can’t rely on myself to sell more soup and make more money, but I always don’t want to leave my comfort zone. When I think of hiring people to manage people and deal with so many people, I feel a little bit resistant.

He remembered what Brother Chao said about his mental journey in the last factory. At that time, Brother Chao only earned 6000 a month. He knew in his heart that with his own skills, he could get more than 8000 in other factories, but he got used to it here and got used to it. The pace of life and working environment in this factory make me too lazy to look for other places—what if the boss backtracks?What if your co-workers don't get along well?What if the order cannot be received?Always set up a lot of obstacles for yourself to change jobs.

If it hadn't been for the factory's poor management and layoffs, he would not have come to New Oriental Plastic Factory, and perhaps there would be no Xiaolin Malatang, who is famous in Beishan Night Market.

This is not hypocrisy, Lin Xiaojian has seen this kind of state in many time-honored snack shop owners.Obviously the business is very good, and there are long queues of customers during the meal time. If we open a branch or expand a store and hire more waiters, we will definitely make more money, but if we don’t do it, we are afraid that we will not be able to take care of it when the time comes, and we are afraid of trouble and certificates. , afraid of this and that.

By noon, fifty or sixty casserole pots had been piled up on the wash bucket. I don't know how much Hot Hot Malatang made at noon, but I thought it was not as many as myself.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there was finally no one in front of the stall. Seeing the casserole piled up like a hill, Lin Xiaojian felt dizzy as if he had a high fever, and he didn't know what he was doing. While controlling the heat, add water and broth.

"I'll take a rest on my stomach, and call me when a guest comes."

He had the habit of taking a nap, and he hadn't had a nap for three days until today, and he worked so hard every day that he couldn't straighten up, and his energy was exhausted.Before that, as a young man who was as energetic as the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, I never knew what fatigue was.

"Okay, I'm going to do the dishes."

Xia Xiaoshuang spoke in a low voice, for fear that the volume would affect his rest.

She knows that hot dishes are more tiring than passing dishes and collecting bowls, so she needs to concentrate.It doesn't matter if the dishes are passed slowly, but the casserole is easy to burn if you don't pay attention to it.Xiaojian is the kind of chef who pays great attention to details and will never allow himself to make such a mistake.

Less than three seconds after his cheek rested on his arm, Lin Xiaojian let out a heavy cry.In the past, no matter how tired he was, he had to find a place to lie down and rest, or he would not rest, and he would never make up for it. Resting on his stomach would only make him more and more tired.But now I'm really exhausted to the limit. After three days of high-intensity work, the physical strength of 110 is too much.If the system could turn his physical strength into a blood bar, it would definitely be crimson on the verge of bottoming out.

He had another dream, and it was still the same plot where he went through the college entrance examination and went to school step by step.After entering Fengyuan, in addition to joining the outdoor activity club, he was also drawn into a fellow villager's club, which is full of people from the southwest region, and they all especially eat spicy food.There is a man from the mountain city, Xiao Gang, who has a good relationship with me. He often reserves a seat for some activities, but I have to work part-time. I don’t want to go to parties because I want to save money. I always live up to my good intentions. I can’t go a few times a year. .

Xiaogang has a bold personality, a good drinker, has many friends, and is very warm to everyone. Lin Xiaojian envies him.However, a person's personality is firstly born, and secondly, it is affected by the living environment. It does not mean that changing can be changed.

In the dream, the most activities organized by the fellow villagers are eating and karaoke. Every time he arrives at KTV, he is a little at a loss. When others pass the microphone over, they just refuse with a smile. Sentence, and the rest of the time was almost silent.

Until the last gathering before graduation, when everyone was about to go their separate ways, he was deeply moved, thinking of his friends, thinking of that girl, and finally plucked up the courage to sing a nostalgic golden song "Broad Sea and Sky" through the microphone, which shocked everyone...
