Chapter 191 Flowing Water Reaches New Heights
As night deepened, the alleyways of the urban village became quiet.
"squeak."
A bread cart and an electric tricycle were parked downstairs at the rental house.
The car lights went out.
Lin Chen pulled out the key to the tricycle and got off the seat.
He opened the van door and took Tangtang out of the car seat.
The little girl had been busy at the stall all night, and now, with the night breeze blowing, a hint of sleepiness had crept into her big eyes, but her two little hands were still tightly clutching the empty red plastic basket.
"Brother Chen, we're home!"
The bread cart door opened, and Wang Haidi jumped out.
Although he had done heavy physical labor all night, he was in the same state as if he had just drunk ten cans of Red Bull, and his whole body was full of excitement.
"Move things."
Lin Chen gave the instructions.
"Okay!"
The two opened the trunk and began carrying the equipment upstairs.
Compared to the heaviness I felt when I left home in the afternoon, the equipment now feels as light as a feather.
Although the items were lighter, it still took three trips to move them up to the second floor.
"Bang."
Wang Hai kicked the security door shut with his heel and placed the thermos in the kitchen sink.
"call……"
Wang Hai let out a long breath, walked straight to the living room, and plopped down on the single sofa.
He didn't even have time to take off his apron before he eagerly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
Lin Chen placed Tangtang on the sofa, took a clean, damp towel, and wiped his daughter's face.
"Daddy, do you have a lot more little red flowers today?"
Tangtang let her father wipe her face, tilted her little head up, and asked with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Duo. Tangtang did very well today."
Lin Chen smiled gently.
On the sofa next to him, Wang Hai had already opened the payment app on his phone.
The screen's glow illuminated his expectant face.
He switched between the merchant backends of WeChat and Alipay, his fingers swiping rapidly across the screen.
A few seconds later.
Wang Hai stared at the number summarized at the bottom of the screen, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably.
"Brother Chen..."
Wang Hai looked up, his eyes gleaming brightly. "The accounts for today are in!"
Lin Chen put the wet towel aside, walked to the water dispenser, filled a glass of warm water and handed it to Tangtang, then sat down on the chair next to her.
"How many?"
Lin Chen asked, picking up his water glass and taking a sip.
"Yesterday we sold out of all the leftover hot pot base scraps, and the total revenue exceeded 50,000. At that time, I thought it was the limit."
Wang Hai took a deep breath, his face trembling with excitement, and blurted out the number that had made his heart race.
"But today! Our 120 servings of fried rice with minced pork, plus over 300 servings of minced pork rice, totaled... 56,800 yuan!"
"Approaching the 60,000 mark, Brother Chen!"
Wang Hai jumped up from the sofa, "Nearly 60,000 yuan a day!"
Our revenue not only didn't drop, but actually increased significantly!
If word got out, not only would other businesses not believe it, but even the owners of the big restaurants in the mall would be green with envy!
Lin Chen listened to Wang Hai's report and nodded slightly.
"Wow!"
When Tangtang, who was sitting on the sofa, heard this number, although she didn't have a specific concept of "more than 50,000", she got excited as she saw Wang Hai's excited look.
She stood up abruptly and clapped her little hands happily.
"Uncle Fatty, fifty-six thousand eight hundred dollars, can we buy lots and lots of lollipops, and lots and lots of big pieces of meat?"
"Tangtang asked in her childish voice."
"It's more than just big, fleshy!"
Wang Hai was overjoyed and reached out to pinch Tangtang's chubby cheek. "This much money is enough to buy Tangtang a small mountain made of lollipops!"
Our squad leader can buy whatever toys he wants from now on!
"Yay! I'm going to build a mountain out of lollipops!"
Tangtang happily bounced around on the sofa a couple of times, and even her sleepiness vanished.
Lin Chen looked at the two laughing and joking on the sofa, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Alright, the money's not going anywhere."
Lin Chen stood up and stretched his shoulders. "Let's fill our stomachs first."
"You must be starving after a whole night of running around!"
I left home around 4 PM, and it's almost 9 PM now.
They were so busy at their stalls that they didn't even have time to drink water, let alone eat.
Upon hearing the word "eat," Wang Hai's stomach rumbled.
"Brother Chen, don't tell me, I was just too excited."
Now that I've relaxed, I really feel like I'm hungry enough to eat a whole cow!
Wang Hai rubbed his belly and chuckled sheepishly.
"I'll make dinner."
Lin Chen went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and glanced at the ingredients inside. "There's still some lean meat, tomatoes and free-range eggs at home."
"Can I just make two bowls of noodles and stir-fry a simple side dish to go with the meal?"
"Great! Absolutely fantastic!"
Wang Hai nodded repeatedly, his mouth practically watering. "Brother Chen, even if you just cooked me a bowl of plain noodles, it would be heavenly!"
After saying that, Wang Hai rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen sink.
"Brother Chen, you're in charge of cooking, so I'll take care of the dirty work of washing the pots and pans!"
Looking at the large insulated buckets and iron pots covered in grease in the sink, Wang Hai didn't complain at all. Instead, he was full of energy. "In this hot weather, if these buckets that used to hold meat sauce aren't washed out tonight, the grease will all solidify by tomorrow morning."
"Let me brush out these metal lumps first!"
"No rush, wash after you eat."
Lin Chen said as he took out the noodles.
"That won't do. I know the rules of this business."
"Finish today's work today, and make sure the equipment is clean so I can feel at ease setting up my stall tomorrow!"
Wang Hai had already turned on the tap and squeezed a large amount of dish soap onto the steel wool. "Brother Chen, you do your thing. I promise I'll scrub these pots until they're as shiny as new!"
As he spoke, Wang Hai began scrubbing vigorously in front of the sink.
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the living room.
Tangtang, wearing pink slippers and carrying a small stool, ran into the kitchen with a "tap tap tap" sound.
The little girl placed the stool next to Lin Chen and skillfully stepped onto it.
"Daddy! Tangtang isn't tired either! Tangtang is here to help earn little red flowers!"
Tangtang stood on tiptoe, stretched out her two small, white hands, and looked at Lin Chen with her big eyes, "Daddy, is there any vegetable that Tangtang needs to wash?"
Tangtang is so clean!
Seeing his daughter's obedient appearance as she struggled to stay awake and help, Lin Chen's fatigue vanished instantly.
Of course, he couldn't bear to let his daughter do heavy work.
"it is good."
Lin Chen took two tomatoes out of the refrigerator, rinsed them under the tap, and then gently placed them in Tangtang's little hands.
"Tangtang, help Daddy wash these two tomatoes clean. Daddy will make you the most delicious tomato and egg noodles later."
Lin Chen spoke up.
"Mission accomplished!"
Tangtang held the tomato in both hands, carefully placed it under the running water, and began to wash it diligently.
In the kitchen, Wang Hai was washing a thermos, Lin Chen was chopping scallions and shredding lean meat on the cutting board, and Tangtang was washing tomatoes on a small stool.
Outside the window is the quiet night view of the urban village.
This small rented room is filled with the most authentic and warm atmosphere of ordinary people.
