Chapter 174 General Cleaning
In the early morning, Malu peed on the toilet, feeling the pleasure of releasing floods, and his body felt lighter.
He looked at the time on his bracelet, it was only 8:30 in the morning.
Today he and Lao Wang no longer have to go out to set up a stall, but they have a lot to do.
After rinsing his teeth, Malu went downstairs and drank a bowl of tofu for breakfast. He also went to the printing shop to get his business card.
The name of the restaurant is printed on the left side of the business card: Universe Infinite Restaurant, and on the right side is Ma Lu's name. The position - boss is also noted on the back, which is specially bolded. Below is the regular phone number and address.
Ma Lu didn’t plan to receive foreign guests for the time being, so he didn’t bother to write any foreign characters on the back, so he just used Chinese pinyin to fool around with it.
For typesetting, I just used a ready-made one from a print shop. I printed 5 boxes for a total of 100 yuan.
Originally, he wanted to print out a few more menus like other restaurants, but because the ingredients were uncertain, Ma Lu gave up the idea in the end and planned to write them by hand every week if it was not possible.
After tidying up a little, he and Lao Wang came outside the restaurant together. Before they entered, they saw three people waiting on the roadside.
Malu was a little surprised, because he said he would meet at 10 o'clock last night, and it was only 9:40 now.
It was understandable that He Xiaoqian wanted to show off that she came early on her first day at work, but Ma Lu had no idea why the other two were so active.
Especially Shen Yue, Malu asked curiously, "Why are you here too?"
Shen Yue sighed and said with a sad face, "Of course it's because I owe...ah, no, I was inspired by your charisma, and I hope I can contribute to your rapid rise.”
“That’s not a bad thing.”
Ma Lu looked at Han Feifei next to Shen Yue. The latter was wearing a gray sportswear and holding a travel bag in his hand, looking like he was ready for a big fight.
"It's just a 20% discount. You're not short of money. Do you need to fight so hard?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want us to do?" Han Feifei flexed her wrist.
"Then...wipe the tables, chairs and benches in the store first, and then clean the stains on the glass. If there is still time, mop the floor. Lao Wang and I will clean up the kitchen. I'll come back and help you."
"Okay." Han Feifei nodded, then opened the travel bag, took out a pack of masks and two pairs of labor protection gloves and handed them to Ma Lu.
Afterwards, she also distributed masks and gloves to Shen Yue and He Xiaoqian who had been yawning, rolled up their sleeves, and walked to the battlefield.
Everyone was busy until 1 o'clock at noon. Lao Wang cooked and made athlete's vegetable chowder to replenish everyone's strength.
In the afternoon, people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to conduct an on-the-spot inspection, mainly to see if the restaurant’s front hall and back kitchen were separated, how many pools there were in the back kitchen, whether the smoke exhaust equipment was compliant, and whether there were freezers and disinfection cabinets. Not equipped...
Since Malu also plans to sell cold dishes, it also needs a separate cold dish room with independent air conditioning and a sink.
Ma Lu had already checked these things before the renovation, so we didn’t encounter any obstacles. The inspection passed smoothly, and then we just had to wait to get the certificate.
After finishing the kitchen, Ma Lu and Lao Wang also came out to help. The five of them worked until eight o'clock in the evening, and then it came to an end.
If Lao Wang hadn’t made another vegetable chowder, everyone would have collapsed from exhaustion.
But fortunately, the final result is quite gratifying.
The glass that originally looked gray has become clean and translucent again, and the large oil stains on the floor have disappeared. Even the second-hand tables and chairs are shining again and look like new ones. Same.
Han Feifei also bought a pot of money tree from the flower market and placed it behind the checkout counter to add greenery to the restaurant and also bring good luck. There was no suspense about the previous bet at this point.
Not only does Han Feifei work very neatly by herself, climbing up and down easily, but she also brings her own various cleaning equipment and arranges the work of everyone including Ma Lu in a clear and improved manner. Efficiency is not the slightest bit.
So Malu was convinced and said cheerfully, "You win. I admit that I underestimated you before. From now on, you will get a 20% discount when you come to the Universe Infinite Canteen."
Han Feifei took it off. Gloves, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, "As long as you haven't forgotten your promise."
After that, she waved to Shen Yue again.
The latter came forward reluctantly, took out the health certificate he had just applied for last week, and handed it to Ma Lu.
“What do you mean?”
“If the store is short of manpower in the future, you can ask me to do odd jobs for you.”
“Huh?”
< br>“Oh, I owe too much money and I need to sell myself to pay off the debt.”
"Then why don't you become a tutor? The hourly wage here is not as high as that of a tutor."
"Of course it's because...you have good food here. Speaking of working here, there are employee meals, right? Uncle Wang cooked the meal, right?"
"Not bad."
Shen Yue finally felt a little comforted by Ma Lu's words, and then Han Feifei said, "Your restaurant is larger than mine. It’s bigger than expected, but there is only Uncle Wang in the kitchen. Isn’t it enough?”
“Lao Wang doesn’t like to be disturbed when cooking, and he prepares meals much faster than ordinary chefs. It should be enough to cope with it.”
"That's good."
After taking care of the hotel's hygiene, Malu stopped calling He Xiaoqian, Shen Yue and the others the next day. He and Lao Wang were about to order another batch of kitchen equipment, mainly freezers. Moved into phase space.
In this way, some special ingredients or high-dimensional creations can be stored in it in the future. Even if the two of them leave the store at night, there is no need to worry about the secret of the Infinite Universe Canteen being discovered.
In addition, Malu will also purchase a batch of new mobile phones, upgrading the desktop breeding farm from lv1 to lv3 in one go.
This is because the total weight of the ingredients in the desktop farm has almost reached the upper limit of 2,000 kilograms. Among them, the self-exploding jerboa, Link's hedgehog, and alligator-headed bullet ants are all quite viable.
The number of black breast chickens has increased from 4 to 26. If this continues, at least Malu will no longer have to worry about chickens.
As the number of animals in the farm increases, the overall growth rate has also been increasing. Now, an extra 240 to 50 kilograms of meat can be produced in a day, which feels like it is almost enough for restaurants.
As for the profit for this week, because I was busy cleaning up the new store in the next two days, it was equivalent to only selling for four days.
Fortunately, the unit price was high enough, and in the end, 138,600 yuan of revenue was recorded, while the cost was only 543.9 yuan, making a profit of 138,056.1 yuan.
The deposit in Ma Lu's bank account has reached 600,000. He has not yet decided how to use the money. Whether to continue upgrading equipment or buy a car to have fun first.
In addition, the place he rented before was a bit too small because of too many things, and it was also a bit far from his shop, making it inconvenient to get back and forth. Malu was already considering changing his house, but he was not in a hurry about it. The contract still has half a year left.
After finishing his work in the store, Malu turned his attention back to this shopping trip.
