The Era of Hard Work

Even Lu Dong was surprised that when the recruited people lined up, they were able to attract people so quickly that the queue behind them never stopped, even though he became more and more proficient at cooking stewed pork and his hand speed became faster and faster. Quickly, the team has always maintained a size of more than twenty people.

Qiao Weiguo maintained order from time to time, and most of them were college students, so it was orderly.

Two yuan, one yuan and five, add up, and the tin box welded to the edge of the workbench is gradually full.

Correspondingly, there are less and less 200 biscuits.

Lao Zhao has already closed the stall and is about to leave, and there is still a queue on Lu Dong's side.

On the other side of the construction site, all the people who lined up came back, and Lu Kun began to distribute folding fans, one for each person, and most of them were happy.

Usually I don’t have much to do, but today I treat it as fun, with a fan and something to eat.

A young man said: Isn't the famous Dong brother among the sellers?

Another person answered: Yes, that's right! I'm one level younger than him. I saw him fighting at the school gate in the second year of junior high school. One person chased three gangsters and beat them up.

The person in front shook his head: Brother Dong is so overwhelmed, what kind of street stall is he setting up! He is willing to stand out and lead us to hang out, Qingzhao will sooner or later be our world!

Lu Kun picked up the folding fan and smashed his head: Don't talk nonsense, can this become your world?

These people, thinking too simple, return our world, making jokes! Lu Kun has seen that the disciplined troops are tough, is that something that chickens and dogs can stop?

There are still rumors among the people in the county town that the troops stationed in Hong Kong City were wiped out by the gangsters. Isn't this a big joke like the Pacific Ocean?

There are people who believe this kind of words, it is really hard for everyone to look at young and Dangerous boys.

Another person said: Not to mention anything else, the meatloaf made by Brother Dong is really delicious.

right!

right!

tasty.

There are many people who agree.

The person at the front said, Brother Dong, is there a secret recipe?

Didn't you see it? It has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is an absolute secret recipe! This is the same as the unique skills of each sect!

In the afternoon, people from the construction site took over. After distributing the fans, Lu Kun clapped his hands and said, We're here today, and we want to come tomorrow. Let's continue to gather here. Brother Dong is generous. You can continue to eat braised pork biscuits for free, and you will still be given free food. .”

Okay! It's okay anyway.

The crowd gradually dispersed. Lu Kun was not in a hurry. He went out to see that there were still people queuing up across the intersection, so he went to the construction site to find Li Lin.

On Lu Dong's side, he was busy from around 11:30 until nearly 1:30, when the queue dissipated and became a few people waiting to buy.

By 1:40, the two big pots of stewed meat and eggs bottomed out, and only seven or eight of the 200 pancakes were left.

Chopping meat with a knife is more tiring than collecting money. Lu Dong took off his sweat-soaked disposable hat and threw it into the trash can, rubbing his right wrist with his left hand.

If you do the same movement too frequently in a short period of time, your wrist will not be sore, but will hurt.

Lu Dong has experience, this is just the beginning, after ten days and half a month, he will get used to it and it will be fine.

All right? Qiao Weiguo asked.

Lu Dong shook his hand: It's fine.

Feeling better, he tidied up the car first to keep it tidy, and then opened the money box to count some money.

There are three kinds of stewed pork biscuits, the ones with only eggs are not sold, the most sold are 1 piece of meat with 5 pieces, and some local tyrants add meat with an egg.

After removing the original change, it sold for a total of 325 yuan.

Part of it was the money that Lu Dong gave to Lu Kun, and the cost of folding fans, which cost only one yuan, was deducted, which made him more than one hundred.

More important than making money is that his booth has attracted attention.

Lu Dong is confident that there should be repeat customers.

As far as the special snacks are concerned, this noon is completely hot.

Lu Dong sat under the sun umbrella to drink water, and quickly summed up the situation at noon today.

The herd effect brought about by queuing is very obvious.

The price is within the reach of many students.

The choice of flavor concoctions in the college town is limited.

Putting up advertising posters is somewhat useful.

Then there is the taste is not bad.

In any case, this first attempt to artificially create a hot momentum was a success.

There is a lack of commerce in the university town, and the off-campus food is limited. As long as it lasts for a while, the reputation of this stall will be established.

Hey, buddy. The tape seller came over and said, I see, the few of us who set up a stall count your business as good. What's the secret?

Of course, Lu Dong wouldn't tell the truth, but he was telling the truth: It should be... the things I sell are genuine.

The tape seller didn't believe it, and said, We all do business together, and share experiences.

Lu Dong didn't answer him, but instead asked, What's your surname?

The tape seller smiled: Miangui's surname is Jiao, Jiao Shougui.

Lu Dong said, Lu Dong. He asked, Is your accent pretty good?

It's from Jiaojiazhuang in the north. Jiao Shougui said simply: I used to go to the market to sell tapes. In the past two days, I heard people said that the university town started school. I thought, young people like pop songs, so I came to try it. I didn't expect it to be successful. Business It’s best to sell it for more than a thousand yuan on that day, so I can catch up with a month’s collection.”

This was not without bragging rights, and Lu Dong didn't care about it, he said, Brother, you have fortune, maybe you brought it, so my business will be good.

Everyone is willing to listen to good words, Jiao Shougui smiled cheerfully, and stopped asking about Lu Dong's secret.

Lu Dong took a rest for a while and needed to go back. The braised pork and biscuits were gone, and the flow of people after school in the afternoon was greater than that at noon.

After telling Qiao Weiguo a few words, Lu Dong rode back to the village, saw Lu Kun talking at the entrance of the construction site, and then went to Lao Li's fire shop, asking him to deliver 250 sesame seed cakes in the afternoon, which can be sold from 5:30 to 8:00 Half.

Then back to the orchard, Hu Chunlan took a large basin of cold water, put the freshly boiled eggs in it, and prepared to peel them.

After asking Lu Dong a few words, Lu Dong roughly explained the situation.

It's good if you can sell it. Hu Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Dong went to the refrigerator to get the stewed meat, and asked, Mom, how will the apples be sold then?

Hu Chunlan said: It's the last year, let's not bother with those troubles, and sell them all to the cannery. It's a bit cheaper, but it saves time and effort, and I'm free to help you.

She picked up an egg to test the temperature: I figured it out, the little money the orchard earns is too far behind for your business.

Lu Dong said: That's fine, let's do other things in the future.

As far as the social situation is concerned, it is too difficult to earn money from the ground, and the public grain alone is a headache.

One year, Guoguang apples could only be sold for ten cents. How many orchards could not even afford public grain?

After a short meeting, Lu Dong dragged the car back to the University City. Just after five o'clock, Lao Li brought over the biscuits.

It may be a knock-on effect in the morning. Before six o'clock, some students came to buy Lu Dong's stewed pork biscuits. After some underground workers came to line up one after another, the line started to line up again at the intersection.

At night, the flow of people is greater, and the longer the line, the more attractive it is. Many people would rather spend ten minutes in line.

Numerous cases have fully proved that this is a good way to attract traffic in a short period of time.

But in order to maintain a good business level, these alone are not enough, the role of food itself is more important.

Braised pork is far from being a delicacy in the world, but it can become a substitute for university cafeterias.

There were more people coming out of the school in the afternoon, and the line started to line up before six o'clock, and it didn't shorten much after seven o'clock.

The longer the line, the longer the waiting time, but the more people in line.

For most people, when they get the stewed pork biscuits and bite them down, they feel that the taste is not bad, and they are worthy of waiting in line.

Of course, things that don't suit your taste are inevitable everywhere.

But overall is good.

Lu Dong has also carefully observed that the people who come to buy at night are not only students, but also older people who should be teaching staff, and there are also those on the construction site.

By 8:30, there were no more monks, and there were only a dozen sesame seed cakes left.

This business is up.

In the next few days, thanks to the queuing, Lv Dong's stewed pork biscuit business was relatively stable. According to Qiao Weiguo's observation, during the busy period of lunch, the queue was always maintained at more than 20 people, and the traffic flow was the largest at dinner , the line of people was over fifty at one point.

Even pure passers-by who passed by this intersection saw the long queue and joined in curiously.

After asking people to line up for five days in a row, Lu Dong stopped temporarily, wanting to see the effect.

The noon line did not decrease, but it was still full at night!

Many people buy more than one.

Queuing for many days in a row, many students have noticed that when they are tired of the canteen food and want to change to other flavors, the first choice is Lu Dong's side.

Because there is no better choice except for the small stove in the cafeteria.

After all, there are too few competitors in the university town, and the food in the university cafeteria is relatively not that rich these days.

On the first day when he stopped hiring people to line up, Lu Dong still sold more than 400 pieces.

The time slots for buying daily necessities are more concentrated, two hours from 11:30 to 1:30 noon, and three hours from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Except for these time periods, there is basically no one.

Lu Dong earns more than 700 yuan a day from selling stewed pork and burning pork.

During the hot period in the past, it will definitely decline, but with the help of the general environment, daily sales will not be too low in the short term.

After 2010, at the best time of the day, braised pork biscuits sold for more than 400 yuan.

The price was much higher then.

The stewed pork biscuit business is also on the right track. The daily necessities are basically stable at six to seven hundred yuan.

Lu Dong's daily average turnover returned to more than 1,000.

It is impossible to have huge profits every day during the school season.
