Chapter 388: A Full House of Customers

"Oh dear, Mr. Tang, in that case, I'm putting you to a lot of trouble.'

Teacher Zhang felt a little embarrassed. She was a big girl now, and now in order to eat buns,

she actually had to trouble the parents of her students, which made her feel slightly ashamed.

And this time was different from the last time, when the apples were ordered directly by the kindergarten.

But this time it was purely because they were a few teachers who were greedy and wanted to eat them every day.

Gu Chen didn't care about this at all, but instead kept shaking his head and smiling.

'Teacher Zhang, you shouldn't say that. You like my buns so much.

To me, this is recognition of my cooking.

Besides, if you eat them every day, that's also taking care of my business.

I can't be happier to have regular customers like you.'

When Mr Zhang heard Gu Chen say this, the little knot in his heart was also resolved.

Plus, Gu Chen's cooking was really delicious, so she really couldn't bear to give it up.

So he also made up his mind and said:

'Okay, then, I'll trouble Mr Tang every day in the future. Of course, I won't take your buns for free in the future.

And there are also the buns of the other teachers. How much do they cost in total? I'll pay you every day in the future.'

Gu Chen also nodded with a smile and immediately agreed.

He had never intended to make money from the kindergarten teachers.

So he didn't mention the actual selling price of his buns, and was prepared to charge fifty cents each.

Otherwise, if they knew that one of his buns sold for five yuan in the store,

with their monthly salary of seven or eight hundred yuan, they might not be able to afford it every day.

As for bringing these things, it wasn't a big deal for him.

Gu Chen's kitchen has a steamer, so every morning when he prepares breakfast for his wife and daughter,

he can steam a few baskets of buns for them as well. After all, he already made the buns the day before.

It doesn't take much effort at all.

And in return, the other party will naturally take better care of his daughter.

Gu Chen is naturally happy to do this favour.

Besides, although Gu Chen charges five yuan for each bun, and doesn't bargain,

it seems like he's losing out by giving them away for free. But the actual cost of each bun is less than a few cents.

The reason the price is so high is simply because his buns are delicious, and not just any delicious.

He also boasts about them a lot, and is better at marketing than other people in this era, which is why he can charge such a high price.

But even if this bun doesn't sell for five yuan, even if Gu Chen sells it for fifty cents, he's actually making a profit.

Even so, he makes more than other bunsellers, after all, Gu Chen doesn't even have to pay the rent for the storefront.

No matter how much money he makes, it's all his in the end.

After taking care of things here, he drove directly to Qiwu Zhai.

Especially before leaving, he met with those kindergarten teachers.

The way they treated his daughter seemed to be a little more enthusiastic than before.

Gu Chen was very happy about this.

In the future, as long as he worked hard, sooner or later he would be able to win over all the female teachers at the kindergarten.

Er, don't get me wrong...

When Gu Chen said win over, naturally he meant becoming good friends with them.

There was no need for male best friends or anything, just take care of his daughter more often.

After all, his wife was not only beautiful but also had such a great figure, and although these teachers were also quite good-looking,

But compared to Ji Pianran, they are not even close.

It can only be said that the two sides are not on the same level at all.

As a good husband of the new era, Gu Chen is not desperate enough to go that far.

He then drove all the way to Qiwanzhai on Xingye Road.

Compared to the long queue yesterday, the line outside the store was even longer today.

As soon as they saw Gu Chen's car stop, regular customers who had been buying for two days urged him to hurry up and open the store.

What they meant yesterday was just to buy some of these delicious buns for their wives and children to try.

But who knew that one taste would be enough to spoil them for good, and that these things were so delicious they simply couldn't stop.

The wife at home could still be negotiated, but as soon as the child couldn't get any, it started crying and screaming again.

They were also worn out and had no choice but to continue getting up early again.

They arrived early at the shop to queue up, after all, Gu Chen, the boss, was impossible to do business with.

There are only 40 baskets of buns a day, and if you don't come early, there won't be any more.

If you go home with nothing, your child will probably throw a tantrum.

For the sake of family harmony, for the peace of mind of the couple, and for the filial piety of the child, they must buy the buns today, no matter what.

Although 5 yuan is a bit expensive, there are many working-class families in Sichuan City where both husband and wife work.

As long as they don't eat them every day, there shouldn't be a problem.

After all, it's just a matter of waiting in line. If you get there half an hour before me, I'll get there an hour before you.

It's all good.

Gu Chen never expected that on the third day of opening his shop, everyone would be so enthusiastic.

Even the high price of 5 yuan per bun could not stop people from lining up, which showed that his superb cooking skills were truly unrivalled.

Of course, he did not dare to continue raising the price. Even if you play marketing well, there is a bottom line.

Marketing without a bottom line is fraud.

Gu Chen himself has not yet reached the point where he would even lose his conscience in order to make money.

And the business afterwards was naturally as hot as ever.

Just as he was smiling and collecting money while listening to customers complain about the late opening time,

suddenly a timid voice came over.

'Old, boss, do you still recruit waiters?'

Gu Chen turned his head and found that there was someone standing next to him.

It looked like a young girl of only fifteen or sixteen.

She had two pigtails in her hair and was wearing a faded green overalls.

Her black trousers had obviously been made too small for her.

She was wearing a pair of flat canvas shoes that didn't look like they fit very well.

Her hands were nervously intertwined, and she was slightly bowing her head, looking a little nervous.

'Of course I will. 500 yuan per month, and I will work about 5 or 6 hours a day.

But young lady, are you an adult? If you are not, I cannot hire you.'

Gu Chen looked at the other person and knew that the person in front of him should have just come from a village around Chuancheng to work.

In response, the voice also slowed down quite a bit, for fear of scaring the other person.

The only problem was that the girl looked skinny, and her face was a little tanned from the sun.

Gu Chen even suspected that the other person had run away from school before finishing junior high school.

Although no one cared if they really hired child labour these days, Gu Chen was a reincarnated soul.

If the other person was really too young, he would not keep them either.
