Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Quotes from a Scumbag
Chen Yu couldn't help but be taken aback. This girl sure had a variety of tricks up her sleeve.
From the time Tong Ya confessed her feelings until now, one could compose a whole anthology of love phrases.
But those words were spoken so subtly that even Chen Yu couldn't find a reason to refuse them.
Even if Chen Yu were to look for faults and ask Tong Ya not to say such things in the future,
she would simply put it off with the excuse that it was just a small joke among friends.
Chu Hong and Su Qing, who were busy with their tasks, couldn't help but get startled and looked over with a touch of gossip in their eyes.
Chen Yu cleared his throat, "First, take Tuan Tuan upstairs. From now on, her homework is your responsibility."
"Okie dokie!"
Tong Ya responded, then took Tuan Tuan's hand and went up to the third floor.
As soon as they got to the room, Tong Ya took two candied haw sticks out of Tuan Tuan's backpack.
"Teacher Tong Ya, where did you learn to say those things you've been saying to Dad recently?"
Tong Ya smiled mysteriously and then took out her phone, clicking open an interface that looked like an e-book.
The title on the screen read in big letters, "Playboy Quotes!"
Tuan Tuan's mouth hung open in surprise, "Teacher Tong Ya, you really know how to apply what you've learned."
...
At eight in the evening, the flow of customers gradually decreased.
However, Chen Yu was almost certain that if there was more supply of braised food, at this time the shop would definitely still be packed.
But if that were the case, the six girls would not be able to cope.
These past two days, they would return to the dorm at nine in the evening and be punctually at the shop at four-thirty in the morning.
Deducting the time spent commuting, they truly had only seven hours of sleep.
If it were cut down any further, then he would truly feel like a shameless capitalist.
Chen Yu called over the girls, quickly tidied up the shop a bit, and gathered around the table.
After having tasted the braised food these last two nights, everyone had gotten addicted.
Their eyes were now brimming with anticipation.
Tong Ya also came down the stairs with Tuan Tuan.
Today, Tang Xiaowei was unusually quiet, though.
Normally, Tang Xiaowei would be the first one to rush over at mealtime, but today she was sitting alone in the corner, continuously moving her paintbrush.
"Xiaowei, it's time to eat. What are you still drawing?" Tong Ya ran over with concern.
On Tang Xiaowei's drawing board were all the bits and pieces of the shop.
Moreover, she had slightly adapted these scenes into a coherent comic.
"Wow, you're drawing us!" Tong Ya couldn't help exclaiming.
Tang Xiaowei nodded, "I had the idea for the comic last time on the food cart. I drew a few sketches and sent them to the publishing house, they immediately gave me a fifty thousand advance."
Chen Yu was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up and moved beside Tang Xiaowei.
The cover of the comic announced that it was adapted from a true story.
It also detailed the location of Chen Yu's shop.
Chen Yu looked at the comic somewhat excitedly; it was clearly helping him advertise.
He initially thought about printing out some flyers over the next few days.
Now, it seemed that comics were much more effective than flyers.
"No wonder the customer traffic has been on the rise these past few days. It's your comic that's had a promotional effect."
Chen Yu offered his praise and then picked up the comic next to him to flip through.
Tang Xiaowei giggled, "I had to do my part; I can't keep freeloading off of you."
Tong Ya pouted, "And you have the nerve to say that. You've drawn inspiration from the shop's story, so you should pay royalties."
Tang Xiaowei knew that Tong Ya was being protective of her food and didn't say much.
She merely tidied up the draft drawings and sat down to eat together.
It was eight-thirty in the evening.
After eating, everyone began cleaning up the shop under Chen Yu's lead.
[Congratulations Host for perfectly completing a day of business, today's net profit is 28,400 yuan, earning 28,400 points. Your current total points accumulated are 576,080.]
Chen Yu hadn't expected to maintain yesterday's sales, and in just one day, he had already broken even with yesterday's costs.
Without any hesitation, Chen Yu immediately called to order pork for the next day.
Just as he hung up the phone, Chen Yu noticed a girl hadn't left.
"Brother Yu, why didn't you let us stay to restock yesterday?" Chu Hong's words carried a hint of grievance.
Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively, "The delivery man brought the raw materials in by himself; we didn't need to exert that effort."
The six girls glanced at each other and then sat down neatly beside him.
"When we were working in the factory, the delivery guys were too lazy to help us unload, and even if some were willing, they would get annoyed after a couple of times."
"Yeah, Brother Yu, we've experienced this firsthand. If you're going to order raw materials in the future, please order them earlier so we can help you unload."
...
Chen Yu didn't say much. After all, what the girls were saying made sense.
Even though he had become friendly with the raw materials delivery man, anyone would get annoyed with moving goods weighing over a thousand pounds too often.
Before long, the truck carrying the pork arrived at the doorstep.
The six girls got to work immediately, each shouldering some of the load.
Although they weren't very strong, each time they could only carry a few dozen pounds.
But after several trips back and forth, they quickly placed the pork into the cold storage.
This time, indeed, the delivery man didn't lift a finger.
After unloading, he drove off immediately.
After the girls had left, Chen Yu sat down and quickly went through today's accounts.
One thousand pounds of pork exactly amounted to 8,000 yuan, and this time Chen Yu counted out 8,000 yuan in cash from the counter to pay.
Along with the more than 3,000 yuan left on his phone from yesterday, Chen Yu directly deposited 190,000 yuan into his checking account.
He left just over 1,000 yuan in his phone for emergency use.
With this, the savings in the checking account had reached 580,000 yuan.
It seemed that whether it was buying a house or opening a new store, both goals were going to be achieved soon.
[Congratulations Host for surpassing 500,000 yuan in savings, triggering a hidden reward.]
Chen Yu was slightly surprised as the system's virtual screen popped up before his eyes.
[The system can provide a supplement to the host's current skills to improve operational efficiency, but points will be deducted accordingly.]
"Skill supplement?"
Chen Yu was puzzled for a moment, then opened the page before him, and a flood of information immediately flooded in.
Automatic dough mixing machine diagrams, skills to complement noodle-making.
Chen Yu immediately became excited, the system was indeed reliable, these two items were exactly what he needed right now.
Without any hesitation, Chen Yu immediately clicked to confirm and acquire them.
[Congratulations Host for receiving the skill supplement, remaining points are 476,080.]
Chen Yu's mouth opened slightly in shock, one diagram and one set of noodle-making skills had actually cost 100,000 points.
That was equivalent to one high-level lottery draw.
But thinking about how he could skip the dough mixing process in the future, Chen Yu felt quite relieved.
And the noodle-making skills were a systematic set of skills.
However, these skills also included some machinery design diagrams.
