Chapter 389: Three hundred and eighty-nine customers filling the door_1

"Oh, Tangtang’s dad, that would really be a hassle for you."

Teacher Zhang felt somewhat embarrassed. Even as an adult, she was going through all this trouble just for some buns.

It made her feel slightly ashamed to trouble a student’s parent like this.

Moreover, this time was different from the last; the kindergarten had directly ordered the apples previously.

But this time, it was purely because the teachers craved the taste and wanted to eat buns every day.

Gu Chen, however, didn’t mind at all and even waved his hands with a smile as he said,

"Teacher Zhang, please don’t say that. You all enjoying the buns I make

is like an acknowledgment of my ’God-Level Culinary Skills.’

Plus, if you eat them every day, that would support my business,

and having regular customers like you would make me happier than I could ask for."

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, that knot in Teacher Zhang’s heart untied itself.

Plus, since Gu Chen’s cooking was indeed delicious, the thought of giving up on it was truly hard to bear.

So, she made up her mind and said,

"Alright then, it will be a real bother for Tangtang’s dad from now on. Of course, I won’t just take the buns for free.

And there are other teachers as well, so let me know the total cost, and I will pay you each day."

Gu Chen nodded with a smile and readily agreed.

He actually never intended to profit from the kindergarten teachers.

So, he didn’t mention the actual selling price of the buns and planned to charge just fifty cents each instead.

Otherwise, if they knew that a bun from Gu Chen’s shop sold for five yuan each,

with their seven to eight hundred yuan monthly salary, they might not afford to eat them every day.

As for delivering these items, it was not really a problem for him.

There was a steamer in Gu Chen’s kitchen, and every morning when he prepared breakfast for Tangtang and his wife,

he could just steam a few extra baskets for the teachers as well; after all, he had the buns prepared the day before.

It really wasn’t any trouble.

And considering this favor, they would undoubtedly take extra care of his daughter on regular days.

Naturally, Gu Chen was happy to offer this convenient help.

Furthermore, even though Gu Chen’s buns had a retail price of five yuan each, and weren’t open for negotiation,

giving them away like this might seem like a loss, but in fact, his cost for each bun was less than a few cents.

He could sell them at a high price purely because they were delicious, exceptionally so,

and also because he marketed them more aggressively than others of his time, which was how he raised the price himself.

Even selling the buns for five yuan each, let alone fifty cents, was still profitable for Gu Chen,

even more so considering he didn’t have to pay rent for a shop space.

No matter how much he earned, it was all his in the end.

After settling this matter, he directly drove towards Qiwei Vegetarian.

Especially when leaving, after seeing those kindergarten teachers,

their attitude towards his daughter seemed even warmer than before.

Gu Chen was very pleased about this.

As long as he kept at it, eventually he could win over all the female kindergarten teachers.

Er, don’t get the wrong idea...

By ’winning them over,’ Gu Chen naturally meant becoming good friends with them.

There was no need to be anything like a male close-friend. It was fine as long as they took good care of his daughter.

After all, since his wife was both beautiful and had a great figure, and although the teachers also looked nice,

But compared to Ji Pianran, they were not just slightly worse.

You could say they weren’t even on the same level.

As a new age model husband, Gu Chen wasn’t desperate enough to stoop that low.

Afterward, he drove straight to Qiwei Vegetarian on Xingye Road.

Compared to the long queue yesterday, today’s was even longer outside the shop.

As soon as Gu Chen’s car pulled up, the returning customers from the past two days were urging him to open up quickly.

Their intent yesterday was merely to buy some of the delicious buns for their wives and children to try.

But who knew that after one taste, they wouldn’t be able to stop; the buns were simply too delicious.

You might negotiate with your wife, but if the kids don’t get their buns, they start to cry and throw tantrums.

Worn down by the nagging, they had no choice but to get up early again.

They arrived at the store to line up in advance since the boss Gu Chen was so capricious in his business.

Only forty baskets of buns were made each day, not one more, so if you didn’t come early,

you’d return empty-handed, and the kids would probably go through the roof.

For the sake of family harmony, marital peace, and filial affection, they had to buy the buns today no matter what.

Five yuan a piece might be a bit expensive, but there were plenty of families in Chuan City where both spouses worked and could afford it.

As long as it wasn’t an everyday meal, it was affordable.

After all, it was just about lining up early. You come half an hour before me, I’ll come an hour before you.

You can outdo each other, it’s all possible.

And Gu Chen never expected that on just the third day of business, everyone would be so enthusiastic.

Even the high price of five yuan each couldn’t deter them, which proved his God-Level Culinary Skills were indeed unmatched.

Of course, he didn’t dare to raise the prices further, even if he was good at marketing, there had to be a limit.

Marketing without ethics is a scam.

Gu Chen wasn’t yet prepared to lose his conscience just to make money.

Subsequently, business continued to be extremely booming as usual.

While he was smilingly taking in money, listening to the customers’ complaints about the late opening time,

suddenly a timid voice came through.

"Sir, do you happen to be hiring servers?"

Gu Chen turned around and found a young girl standing next to him.

She looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

She had her hair tied up in two braids, wearing a somewhat faded green work jacket,

and black trousers that were obviously altered to be smaller.

On her feet were a pair of flat canvas shoes that looked ill-fitting.

Her hands were nervously intertwined, and she had her head slightly bowed, seeming a bit anxious.

"Hiring, of course we’re hiring. The pay is five hundred a month, and you’ll be busy for about five or six hours a day.

But young lady, are you of age? I can’t hire you if you’re underage."

Gu Chen could tell by her appearance that this girl must have come from a nearby village to Chuan City to work.

His voice softened considerably, in fear of frightening her.

The only concern was that the girl looked skinny and her cheeks were slightly sunburnt.

Gu Chen even wondered if she had left school early to come out and work.

Although child labor wasn’t really regulated these days, Gu Chen was, after all, reborn.

If she was indeed too young, he wouldn’t keep her on.
