C6 Trial operation 3

On the first day of the trial, the fried fries and chunks of meat were sold out in less than half a day. In the afternoon, they had to close the restaurant and prepare the ingredients.

After some consideration, Lu Zhu decided to hire someone after the trial ended.

The third day was the same as the previous two. The supplies were unable to meet the demand, and the materials prepared for the previous night were sold out. Even so, Lu Zhu still had to close the door. That afternoon, Luzhu asked Sister Lan to hire a married daughter-in-law to help cut potato chips and start a fire.

On the morning of the official opening, Lu Zhu opened the door and was startled. There were already two long lines lined up in front of the door, and they were all young girls.

The hand that Lu Zhu used to open the door stopped there, as she looked at the beautiful young lady's house.

"I heard that the young master who opened this shop was extremely handsome, and indeed, it is true. It seems that he is a little shy."

"Pah …" Laughter came out one after another. Lu Zhu's face turned red, and as soon as the door opened, he immediately covered his back.

"Hehe, a Young Master who knows how to cook, that sister will be lucky to marry him."

Another round of laughter came from the crowd. Lu Zhu's look became even more embarrassed as he turned around and said to the other ladies, "Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you all go back first? We haven't even started doing anything yet. We might have to wait another hour."

"It doesn't matter, we've been ordered to buy your family's new set. If we can't get it back, Master will not be happy." The girl at the front chuckled.

Lu Zhu was slightly startled and was at a loss of what to do. He could only say seriously, "Then ladies, please wait. I'm going back to the kitchen."

Lu Zhu finished frying the French fries that had already been cut, but still hadn't bought enough people to line up. Fortunately, at this time, the little daughter-in-law that he had hired yesterday had already arrived.

There was still not enough manpower. The old lady continued to help with the firewood, and the new hire had to cut chips. The shop had to be looked after by the baby instead. Lu Zhu was a little depressed. If only she had a modern electric motor, then she wouldn't need to do it manually. Even an old lady could do it easily.

In the modern era, there was electricity every day, so he didn't feel that it was very good. He knew this after comparing it with the current situation, especially at night when it was impossible to do anything more; the weak oil lamp didn't have much light at all, it was even worse than a modern flashlight … However, in the modern world, she would not go to sleep early or work late in the night.

It was not easy to raise a third child in modern times, but in ancient times, it was even more difficult. Other than a bit of hard work, Lu Zhu really couldn't think of a better way to make money. Firstly, he didn't have the capital to manage a larger business and secondly, he didn't know if he was the material for doing business. At the moment, he could only earn a little bit of money.

Every day, Lu Zhu woke up early in the morning and became greedy for the dark. In less than a month, Lu Zhu's originally plump cheeks had already clearly thinned out, which made the old lady's heart ache.

That night, Lu Zhu was counting the income of the day under the lamp. The old lady looked at Lu Zhu with a pained expression, then walked up to her and sat down.

"Mom, it has been twenty-three days since we opened our store. Aside from the first few days, every day has been relatively stable, with roughly one tael of income per day. Adding that to twenty-five taels of silver, our current cost has increased to forty taels of silver." Lu Zhu happily received the pieces of silver and copper coins one by one and handed them to the old lady.

The old lady said worriedly, "Little Pig, you've worked so hard for me. This silver should be enough to pay for the trip. Will you go home with your baby with your mother?"

"Go home?" Lu Zhu looked at her doubtfully and said, "Mother, this place can be considered our home for now, even though it's only temporary, when I find it rich enough, I'll buy a mansion and hire a few maids to serve you."

Lu Zhu didn't think too much about it, but now that the Old Granny had mentioned it, Lu Zhu began to plan on buying the house again. Although she and the baby had been here for almost a month, there didn't seem to be any sign of returning to the modern era. However, she didn't give up on the idea of returning back home, and now that the old lady mentioned it, she felt a little more worried about Lu Zhu. She hoped that they wouldn't go back so early, and even if they couldn't travel in the ancient times, she would still have to settle the old lady down.

If she went back with the baby and left the old lady alone, would the old lady have to beg for a new life? It was precisely because of this worry that Lu Zhu had entrusted all the money he had earned to the old lady, so that even if there was a chance, the silver would be enough for her to live for ten to eight years.

"No, Little Pig, Mother is talking about Mother's old home." The old man looked at Lu Zhu with a gratified expression. She had accumulated so much good fortune in her previous life, and this was the only way she could have such a good fortune in her current life. Although living with Lu Zhu and co. was very fulfilling, she felt very uncomfortable watching Lu Zhu suffer so much, and she also missed her own children.

The old lady's thoughts went back to that magnificent home. Although she had enjoyed all the glory and the filial piety of her children, they could not compare to Lu Zhu and the baby who were together. If Lu Zhu hadn't worked so hard, she would have lived more like this.
