Chapter 110 Iced Mung Bean Soup, Free Gift
Five o'clock in the afternoon, downstairs at the rented house.
Wang Hai carried the last plastic storage box full of takeout containers into the trunk of the Wuling van and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Phew—mission accomplished!"
Wang Hai patted the dust off his hands.
When I moved that stainless steel soup pot that I had just taken out of the freezer, the bone-chilling cold air seeped straight into my hands from the sides of the pot.
Although it's heavy, it feels comfortable to touch on a hot day.
On the other side, Tangtang also carried her special folding stool and small plastic basket for holding spoons with great effort, and walked to the tricycle.
"Daddy, you've brought all of Tangtang's things down too!"
The little girl looked up with her rosy cheeks as she reported to the leader.
"Tangtang is great."
Lin Chen walked over, took the things from his daughter's hands and put them in the truck bed, then reached out and rubbed her little head.
Lin Chen turned around and carefully inspected the gas valve on the tricycle and the large iron pot.
After confirming that all the equipment was securely fixed, he looked at Wang Hai, who was about to open the car door.
"Wang Hai, don't get in the car yet."
Lin Chen called out to him.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Did you forget something?"
"The menu is outdated. Before you get on the bus, send a notification to the regular customers' WeChat group and tell them that there are new drinks available today."
Lin Chen explained.
Wang Hai took out his phone and immediately realized: "Yes, yes, yes!"
When something new is released, you need to promote it in advance!
Brother Chen, how much should we price this mung bean soup?
Eight yuan or ten yuan? A simple glass of iced sugar water outside costs over ten yuan.
Lin Chen glanced at Wang Hai, his tone calm.
"It's free. Like the broth, it's a free gift."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hai's hand, which was about to type, suddenly stopped, and he froze on the spot.
"free?"
Wang Hai looked distressed. "Brother Chen, that's twenty catties of top-quality mung beans and ten catties of rock sugar. You even stayed by the fire to cook it for so long."
One hundred and fifty servings a day, if sold at five yuan a cup, could earn several hundred more a day!
Why not make this money?
Lin Chen simply tightened the securing rope on the tricycle and spoke.
"In the restaurant business, priorities must be kept in mind."
Lin Chen turned his head and said, "Our stall's sign says 'Shredded Fried Rice,' not 'Drinks Shop.'"
The mung bean soup is served to cleanse diners' palates and help them better enjoy the next bite of fried rice.
Once a fee is charged, the nature of the transaction changes.
It's not worth ruining your core brand for a little money.
Lin Chen's words left no room for argument: "Send it as I say."
After hearing these few words, Wang Hai opened his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly.
"Alright, you're the head chef, so you're in charge."
"That's because what you made was truly amazing."
Wang Hai stopped worrying about it, since Lin Chen's decisions had never been wrong before.
He leaned against the car door and opened the "Lin Laoban Fried Rice Regular Customer Group".
At that moment, several familiar customers were chatting in the group, complaining about how stuffy the weather was today.
Wang Hai edited the text and sent it out directly.
Good afternoon, everyone!
Yesterday, everyone in the group chat said they couldn't drink hot soup because of the heat, and Boss Lin took it to heart.
Today I specially went to the market to select top-quality mung beans and yellow rock sugar, and made a big pot of chilled mung bean soup for everyone!
The sand is fine and dense, and it has been chilled to the point of being ready.
Considering that some diners have sensitive stomachs, a small bucket of the original hot hen broth is still kept.
You can choose one of the two based on your preference.
The highlight is: Iced mung bean soup and hot broth, all free!
See you at Yintai Plaza tonight at 5:30!
Less than half a minute after the long message was sent, the WeChat group immediately became lively.
The message notification sounds kept ringing.
Liu Wei: Iced mung bean soup?
Is it free? Boss Lin's execution is impressive!
The suggestion I made yesterday has already been implemented today. This boss is really capable!
Zhao Qiang: Brother Hai, is it really free?
Outside beverage shops can easily sell a random mung bean soup for fifteen yuan.
It was personally prepared by Boss Lin; that's quite a generous gesture.
Enough said, I have to go queue up tonight.
Li Na: Boss Lin is so thoughtful! He even kept the hot broth for us to choose from.
I can't drink anything cold these days, this detail is perfect!
A new customer in a group chat named "The Fat Guy Who Loves Late-Night Snacks": Boss Lin's personally brewed chilled mung bean soup?
Considering his skill in making fried rice with broken gold, this mung bean soup is definitely going to be good.
I left work early today to go and reserve a seat!
Liu Wei: Hey new guy upstairs, don't take my seat!
I've already packed my things and gone downstairs!
The diners in the group were in high spirits, their words filled with anticipation for tonight's new drinks.
Wang Hai looked at the rapidly scrolling chat history and happily held up his phone screen in front of Lin Chen.
"Brother Chen, look! All these regular customers in the group perked up as soon as they heard about this good news!"
Some people are already heading to the square to reserve a spot!
Our business tonight is definitely going to be great!
Lin Chen merely glanced at the screen, his expression remaining calm and composed.
"As expected."
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze, "As long as the ingredients are of high quality and the diners' experience is put first, they will naturally patronize the restaurant."
Tangtang, who had been standing obediently by the car door, couldn't help but chime in when she heard the adults' conversation.
The little girl tugged at Lin Chen's clothes, tilted her head up, and looked at him earnestly with her big eyes: "Daddy, when that pretty auntie comes later, will she also have some cool mung bean soup?"
That's so delicious!
Lin Chen looked down at his daughter and explained, "The pretty auntie has a sensitive stomach and can't drink too much cold stuff."
If she comes, she'll probably only get a little bit of mung bean soup to taste; she'll mainly need hot broth to warm her stomach.
"Oh……"
Tangtang nodded as if she understood, "Then Tangtang will save a bowl of the best hot soup for the pretty auntie later!"
Don't give it to anyone else!
"it is good."
Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly.
He climbed onto the electric tricycle and gripped the handlebars with both hands.
"It's almost time, get in the car, let's go."
Lin Chen shouted.
"Alright!"
Wang Hai put his phone back in his pocket and immediately opened the back door of the van.
"Come on, our little boss Tangtang, get in the car!"
Wang Hai scooped Tangtang into the pink child safety seat and fastened the seatbelt.
Then, Wang Hai strode to the driver's side, opened the door, sat down, and turned the key.
Lin Chen turned the handlebars of the electric tricycle.
The two cars drove one after the other toward Yintai Plaza.
