Chapter 391: Reopening for Business

He had come to the long-lost food market, although it had only been three days since his last visit.

However, at this time, Gu Chen's state of mind was completely different from the last time.

He had just taken over Qiwu Restaurant before, and even because he was so poor,

He had almost died trying to open the restaurant, and had to rely on selling buns to make a little money.

But now he has become a well-known successor to imperial chefs in the Xingye Road area.

Seven Flavours Restaurant is not making a fortune under his management.

But a daily turnover of 1,000 yuan is enough to be the best in the business.

And now he has hired new staff, so there is plenty of manpower.

Tomorrow, his 100-plus-square-meter storefront

he can finally welcome his first customers.

For Gu Chen, this is almost as big an event as the restaurant's grand opening.

Although he still doesn't have much money for a celebration or advertising,

he can still attract customers by adding new dishes to the menu.

Gu Chen walks through the market with a smile on his face.

Even the vendors and customers arguing over the cost of a few cents

seem so cute.

'Uncle, how much is your celery per catty?'

'Fifty cents. I grew it all myself, so it's fresh.'

'Okay, give me 20 catties.'

When Gu Chen didn't even bother to negotiate the price, the stall owner, who had been sitting lazily on a stool,

suddenly beamed with joy. Then, as if afraid that Gu Chen might change his mind,

He quickly began to weigh the vegetables and put them in a bag for him, praising Gu Chen over and over again for being such a handsome young man.

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile.

He had made a few thousand yuan these past few days and was not short of money.

So he didn't bother to haggle.

To him, the most important thing was whether the vegetables were fresh.

After paying, Gu Chen carried the bag the stall owner had 'accidentally'

and then rounded up to 26 catties of celery.

He continued shopping in the market.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when Gu Chen's hands could no longer hold the vegetables, that he finally stopped shopping.

He had three large snakeskin bags full of vegetables.

In addition, there were 30 catties of pork, four white chickens, and 20 catties of beef bones.

After leaving the market, he went to a nearby grocery store and bought 300 catties of flour and two bags of rice.

In total, Gu Chen spent 595 yuan.

As for other small ingredients such as green onions, ginger and garlic, they were basically given away for free by the stall owners who saw his generous offer.

Of course, most of these were used in the Seven-Flavor斋 restaurant.

The remaining part was to be used to restock the family's refrigerator.

Subsequently, Gu Chen stuffed everything into the car.

Even because this time he bought so much,

He even had to hire a small electric motorcycle nearby to help deliver the goods.

Before, Gu Chen had written in the job advertisement that he would provide food and accommodation, so naturally he couldn't let the person eat buns for every meal.

Although there are indeed many such heartless bosses.

But Gu Chen is not so mean as to try to save a few cents from a young girl's mouth.

He bought meat and vegetables, as well as rice and flour. There was also plenty of oil and seasonings in the store.

After that, Wang Cuihua could cook whatever she wanted for the three meals a day.

As Gu Chen, who had worked in marketing for the boss for many years before his rebirth,

always believed, money is earned, not saved.

Instead of racking one's brains every day to find ways to save a few cents from one's teeth and save it up,

it is better to think more about

It is more effective to think about how to earn more money from other people's pockets.

When Gu Chen finished shopping and drove back to Qiwu Zhai,

he was surprised to find that, in addition to Wang Cuihua, there was another person waiting in front of the shop.

It was a girl who looked about the same age as her.

'Boss, this is my fellow villager I was telling you about.

When you said you were going shopping, I thought I'd take this opportunity

I thought I might as well bring her to see you directly, so that she doesn't have to wait until tomorrow.'

Wang Cuihua's face showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

However, it seemed that because her good friend was there,

she appeared much more lively than before, when she would occasionally look absent-minded.

Seeing that Gu Chen had so many things in the car, she immediately came forward to help.

At the same time, she shouted to the side.

'Zhao Di, come quickly and help the boss carry the things.'

'Yes, I know.'

The girl named Zhao Di, on hearing this, also rushed over in a panic.

She took the half-pork in Gu Chen's hands and held it in her arms.

It seemed to be a bit difficult for a while because it was too heavy.

But she didn't make a sound, and just held it carefully in her arms.

She moved step by step towards the shop.

Gu Chen was also a little helpless about this. If Wang Cuihua looked like a dark, skinny monkey,

then the girl in front of him, called Zhao Di, was even slimmer.

He also noticed that both girls' foreheads and nose tips were covered in fine beads of sweat.

He guessed that they had probably run all the way from their accommodation during his absence.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but take two more steps forward and reach out to take the pork back from Zhaodi's arms.

The other person thought that Gu Chen was disgusted by her slow work and for a moment stood there a little at a loss.

Wang Cuihua also saw this in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, fearing that her good friend would not be able to impress Gu Chen.

But before she could say anything, she heard Gu Chen say:

'There are some vegetables in the car behind, so you can carry those into the house.

If it's still too heavy, then untie the bag and make a few more trips, there's no need to rush.'

The girl named Zhao Di's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.

She nodded vigorously and then ran all the way to the small electric scooter outside.

She went to get the rest of the vegetables.

The three of them were busy and it only took a few minutes to unload the car.

Of course, the main force in this was Gu Chen.

After all, neither of the two girls had much strength, and there were hundreds of pounds of rice and white flour.

Even if they wanted to help, they were actually quite powerless.

After everything was settled, Gu Chen found a chair and sat down again.

The two girls stood on the side with some restraint, with an extremely nervous expression.

It was as if they were not applying for a waitress, but standing in front of the entrance to the college entrance examination.

Gu Chen was holding the second, also brand new, ID card he had seen today.

He looked at the girl standing in front of him with her head bowed, and her expression slightly surprised.

For a moment, even his eyebrows were raised high.
