Xiao Na ate one and felt like her taste buds had gone through a resurrection.
Her education level wasn't high, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Wow, this is delicious!"
The other girls also gave a thumbs up, and a young girl dramatically threw down her chopsticks and gave Chen Mo two thumbs up, "Nice!"
Receiving the customers' approval, Chen Mo grinned with genuine happiness.
If only these girls wouldn't always think of getting things for free, it would be even better.
After eating the first one, Xiao Na almost inhaled the remaining dumplings like a storm!
Having eaten five dumplings, Xiao Na simply waved her hand, "Alright, today I'm treating, let's eat to our hearts' content! Little boss, we're buying all the remaining dumplings~"
"Alright~" Chen Mo quickly packed the remaining eighty dumplings into big bowls and poured some vinegar for the four girls before delivering them to the table by the street, "Altogether a hundred, that'll be one hundred sixty Yuan!"
Xiao Na scanned the QR code, her eyes seductive, "How about one hundred fifty?"
Chen Mo put away his smile and said seriously, "No way!"
Ten Yuan isn't much, but right now, it's very important to me.
"Little boss, let me have it for free today, I'll return the favor if you ever come to our shop."
Chen Mo contemplated whether the word "free" held a different meaning in her context, but finally, he shook his head resolutely, "Sorry, really can't."
"Tsk~" Xiao Na rolled her eyes, paid the 160 Yuan, "Little boss, you're so dense!"
Chen Mo didn't say more, turning silently back to his food cart to pack up.
The first day at the stall was pretty decent, selling five batches of fried dumplings, the gross profit was a thousand Yuan!
Looking at the balance in his WeChat wallet, Chen Mo felt an inexplicable comfort.
At this rate, it might not be impossible to save for a house down payment before his parents come to town.
Therefore, anyone trying to take money from Chen Mo's wallet will be defeated!
Seeing Chen Mo packing up to leave, Brother Squid and Uncle Liu looked over with envy.
"This kid sold more in two hours than we do in a week!"
Uncle Liu pursed his lips and nodded, "True, I noticed he didn't prepare enough today, several girls wanted to buy but saw he was closing down and didn't come over."
Brother Squid stretched his neck to look over.
Indeed, those KTV girls and the foot spa girls saw Xiao Na and them devouring the dumplings and seemed ready to come over but backed off as they saw Chen Mo closing down.
"So, Brother Squid, did I win this time?"
Brother Squid's heart was bleeding.
First, Xiao Na got a bunch of free squids from him, and then he lost the bet to Ham Liu, today's earnings: negative!
Having packed away everything, Chen Mo saw the girls hadn't finished eating.
The noodles they brought from elsewhere were already pushed to the corner, and the four were still gobbling up dumplings.
"Perfect, time to close!"
Central Avenue wasn't far from the unfinished building, a selling point back when the apartments were marketed.
Chen Mo pushed the cart home, which took just about ten minutes.
The neighborhood was quiet late at night, with only a light in the middle of the construction site.
Since no one was around, Chen Mo just left the cart in the hall of his building, then went outside to fetch a bucket of water, carrying it slowly up to the 28th floor.
"Always said I didn't have time to exercise, now it's all coming back..."
Back in his tiny room, Chen Mo briefly washed up and flopped onto the bed, and thoughts flashed through his mind, revealing a system panel.
[Chen Mo's Mobile Food Cart]
[Level: LV1]
[Features: Stove, Workbench, Storage, Recipe Analysis]
[Experience Value: 1000/10000]
All income within the business hours counts as experience value, and with today's stall experience, Chen Mo's mind became more active.
The food cart has a slot for plugging in and a gas stove.
Egg dumplings are selling well now, so definitely must keep selling them.
But I can prepare the egg dumplings in advance and just fry them on-site, saving a lot of time, and the other gas stove can be used for something else.
"Tomorrow, I'll have to try out the recipe analysis feature again!"
Brimming with confidence, Chen Mo gradually drifted into dreamland.
The wind on the 28th floor didn't wake Chen Mo, and he slept extraordinarily well that night; in the morning, he woke up, washed up, and saw the water splashing, checking the bank card balance.
37,000 Yuan.
Of which 20,000 came from selling corn from home, and another 17,000 was what Chen Mo saved up for renovations.
"This part of the money is never to be touched."
Today is Sunday, and Chen Mo has an entire day to prepare.
"Egg dumplings are the staple; if I have a staple at the night stall, what would be the best pairing?"
Being a college student, Chen Mo's perspective is different from Uncle Liu; many people choose to sell what's easy to learn and profitable.
Chen Mo always felt that was too blind.
Pairing with egg dumplings, without question, the best is something soupy, and the answer becomes obvious.
Porridge!
In the world of porridge, the most notorious place is... Guangdong!
Chen Mo didn't major in culinary arts, and his knowledge of food is still at the [Diner] level, but although he's never been to Guangdong, he feels the world's best porridge is definitely from Guangdong!
"If I can really make the food cart big and strong, I must go to Guangdong to try their porridge someday!"
So with action in mind, Chen Mo spent some time online, finally deciding on his dish: pork offal porridge!
The reason for choosing pork offal porridge is simple.
Jingzhou is located in the central region, and pork offal, except for intestines and stomach, is insanely cheap!
When Chen Mo was little, his family had a cat, and every day after school, he'd pass a braised meat shop, and for just one Yuan, he could buy a pig liver and lung to feed the cat; these two ingredients aren't even eaten by anyone locally in Jingzhou.
"Low cost, high profit, easy to make, perfect for me right now."
Having made up his mind, Chen Mo got up and headed toward the supermarket, first using the food cart's [Recipe Analysis] feature to finalize the production method for pork offal porridge.
Chen Mo also looked up information online, and the essence of pork offal porridge is its freshness!
So he also needed to find a way to contact a nearby slaughterhouse.
A busy day began again!
Meanwhile, Zhang Feng, who enjoyed a sweet sleep-in, got up.
The first thing he did on his phone was brag in the [Jingzhou Cadillac Owners Group].
[CT5 Owner Zhang Feng: Guys, found an awesome fast food yesterday! Only 200 Yuan for an ultimate experience!]
A few seconds after the message was sent, the owner group buzzed alive.
There's something about this group.
They might stay silent when talking about cars or life, or even with a red packet.
But if you mention fast food.
The owners in the group are suddenly wide awake.
