  The change of boss in the store did not attract the attention of customers or even peers. As the saying goes, "iron-clad camps and flowing water soldiers", such things are common in the market, nothing out of the ordinary.

  Only the boss of the noodle shop opposite came over to take a look, said a few insincere words, and before leaving, told Xiaoyu that if he wanted to hang noodles in the future, he could come to him. The other households on the side did not come to congratulate.

  All night long, until the 9 o'clock closing time, not a single customer had walked into Xiaoyu's spicy noodle shop, which really depressed Xiaoyu.

  He wanted to learn from Master Guo and sell fried dough sticks in the morning, but looking at the only 10 yuan left in his pocket, he immediately gave up the idea, which was not enough to buy oil.

  A week has passed and still no customers have visited Xiaoyu's noodle shop. The last ten yuan that Xiaoyu had left was also spent.

  At night, when sleeping, in the sweltering small compartment, lying on the hard wooden bed, looking at the numbers on the counter jumping down non-stop, Xiao Yu became anxious. In a week, not a single penny was earned, and his original 1,500 yuan were also spent. If this continues, not only will the task be impossible to complete, but even eating in the future will become a problem.

  Leaning against the headboard, Xiaoyu thought for half a day and made up his mind to run to the neighbor's house tomorrow to ask Old Zhang, who sold buns, for advice.

  Through Xiaoyu's observation, Old Zhang's baozi business is really good. Xiaoyu secretly counted that in a day, he can sell at least 400 to 500 baozi, 50 cents each, even if he only makes 20 cents per baozi, that's still 100 yuan!

  The next day at noon, Xiaoyu used the last 50 cents in his pocket to buy him a meat bun. While eating the bun, he took the opportunity to get close to him and said, "Old Zhang, I've been running this noodle shop for two days now, but not a single customer has come in. Your business is so good here, can you teach me some tricks?"

  Old Zhang smiled, since the opening of this noodle shop next door, he had been paying attention to it. According to convention, when a new store opens, the owner should pay respects to neighboring businesses, send out invitations and gifts such as pastries, and others would also buy flowers to congratulate them.

  Unexpectedly, this store opened quietly without even a notice to its neighbor.

  Lao Zhang was angry and since you don't understand the rules, I won't go to kiss up to your cold butt either. For a whole week, he didn't speak to Xiao Yu once.

  It wasn't until later that Old Zhang realized the boss was just a 17 or 18 year old kid, with an immature look on his face. No wonder he didn't understand the rules here. He thought to himself, Ha! With this kind of person running things, the store will be closed in no time!

  Unexpectedly, today this young boss came to ask for his own advice.

  Looking at the young man's attire in front of him, Old Zhang couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. This kid looks like he's having a tough time too, dressed worse than a rag collector. His white shirt is washed to the point of being transparent.

  Normally, children of this age are still spoiled in their mother's arms, how would they come out to make a living on their own?

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Xiao Yu. Since he asked me for advice, I had to teach him a thing or two. After all, one was selling buns and the other was selling noodles, there was no direct conflict in business.

  "Hey kid, when someone new opens up shop, they always offer discounts to attract customers. I said, how come this new place doesn't have any buzz? Although it's said that good wine isn't afraid of being in a deep alley, of course, whether the wine is good or not is another matter, but first and foremost, you gotta sell the wine, right?"

  It's indeed one sentence that awakens a person from their dream.

  Xiao Yu rubbed the sleep from his eyes, immediately thanked Old Zhang, returned to the store, picked up a brush and wrote several lines of large characters on the remaining red paper from last time, and posted it outside the door.

  "Grand opening special offer, 20% off all items for one week!"

  Lao Zhang's trick was indeed effective, and the first business came immediately. There were seven or eight fish vendors selling fish.

  These people generally make more money than others, so they usually don't bring their own lunch at noon and often buy boxed lunches or noodles to fill their stomachs. Today, just as they were about to go out for lunch, they saw that the new noodle shop was having a sale, and naturally, they didn't want to miss this opportunity to take advantage of the discount. With the idea of trying it out, they walked into Xiao Yu's noodle shop.

  Xiao Yu warmly invited them to sit down and started pulling noodles on the chopping board himself.

  Xiao Yu's noodle-pulling skills were learned from Master Guo, but the noodles he pulled tasted more refreshing and chewy than Master Guo's. As a result, after Xiao Yu mastered the skill of pulling noodles, Master Guo stepped down and let him take charge of pulling noodles.

  All that could be heard was the sound of "pa pa" on the chopping board, and the noodles flew up. In less than ten seconds, Xiao Yu had pulled out all the noodles for several people and thrown them into the big pot.

  Several fishmongers were stunned, secretly giving a thumbs up. They had seen noodles being pulled, but not like this. This young man has real skills, and his technique is truly exceptional.

  Before long, the noodles were ready. Xiaoyu scooped them into large bowls and ladled a generous amount of special broth from the big pot on the stove into each bowl. He then added some special spicy sauce that had been simmering since morning and sprinkled chopped scallions on top.

  The whole process, including cooking the noodles, took less than five minutes.

  "Golden Chili Noodles, edible. Each serving of 100g reduces hunger by 25%, immediately restores 25% health, increases joy by 30%, and temporarily boosts strength by 20 for 10 minutes."

  Xiao Yu's spicy sauce noodles have far surpassed Master Guo's in terms of spiciness. Especially in terms of pleasure, it has reached 30% per 100 grams, which means that four liang (a unit of weight) of noodles can produce 60% pleasure.

  What is pleasure? That has something to do with the customer's satisfaction. Only when the customer eats satisfactorily will he possibly become a repeat customer.

  After seeing Xiaoyu's handiwork with the noodles, the fishmongers already had high expectations for Xiaoyu's spicy sauce noodles. When the dish arrived, one look and sniff later, they felt even more delighted, the aroma was overwhelming, and in their hearts, they had already given it 80 points.

  One bite, and he was even more stunned, this spicy sauce noodles is really too delicious? A few mouthfuls of noodles down the hatch, a sip of noodle soup, and the Anhui man, who hadn't shed a tear in seven or eight years despite being battered by wind and snow for three days and nights, actually burst into tears.

  "Big brother, what's wrong? Don't you like the noodles?" Little Yu looked puzzled and quickly asked.

  Among the seven or eight noodle vendors, the leader, whose surname was Li, secretly wiped away the tears on his face with his hand and sighed, "I say, little brother, after eating this noodles, why do I miss home so much! This craftsmanship, I, Li Dingtou, admire it! From now on, we will come here to eat noodles every day!"

  The other fishmongers also responded in unison, "Right! Younger brother, after eating this noodle, it's like eating ginseng fruit, all ten million pores on our body feel comfortable! Let's have another bowl!"

  Xiao Yu happily smiled and nodded, then returned to the counter and pulled out the noodles again.

  After eating the noodles, the vendors told the surrounding stall owners about it and greatly exaggerated Xiaoyu's spicy noodle dish. They said that this kind of noodle can only be found in heaven and is rarely tasted by humans, which made others curious too. Not only did the small vendors want to try it, but even customers who came to buy vegetables were eager to give it a shot.

  These people also felt that although it was not as evil as the fish vendors said, it was much better than the noodles sold in those noodle shops outside.

  In this way, one told ten, ten told a hundred, and a hundred told a thousand. The business of the small Wonton Noodle Shop gradually improved.

  A week later, the discount activity ended, but Xiaoyu's business was still booming. Not only were the vendors in the wholesale market eager to eat, but also many customers came from the residential building across the street.

  Even Old Zhang, who sells bags next door, can't believe it. This unremarkable noodle shop was actually saved by his own words? What's so special about this noodle shop?

  Old Zhang also took the time to eat a bowl of noodles, and indeed it was not bad. The noodle strands pulled by Xiao Yu were smooth and refreshing, the soup was rich in flavor, and there was that spicy and fragrant sauce made with generous ingredients, simmered on the same day. Compared to the previous boss who sold noodles for four yuan a bowl, Xiao Yu's noodles were filled with the two words "honesty".

  Old Zhang threw out a sentence as he left, "Xiao Yu, from this aspect, you can see the kind of person, this store will absolutely not go bankrupt!"

  After opening for a week, Xiaoyu's savings reached four digits.

  He can now sell more than 200 bowls of noodles a day, with each bowl costing 4 yuan. After deducting costs, he makes about 1.5 yuan per bowl. This week, the price is discounted to 80% off, so he makes about 0.7 yuan per bowl, and in one day, he can make around 150 yuan.

  There are still two weeks left, and after the discount period ends, it seems that completing the 5,000 yuan task is not a difficult thing.

  He had some money in his hands and Xiao Yu thought of the fried dough stick business again.

  Business in noodle shops is usually slow during the morning, and most customers come at noon or evening. According to Shanghai residents' habits, breakfast typically consists of four staple items: large pancake, fried dough stick, soy milk, and rice ball. Few people eat noodles for breakfast.

  So, the time in the morning can be utilized. Although the profit of fried dough sticks is not high, the sales volume is large. The customers in the wholesale market usually buy five or six together, and few people only buy one fried dough stick. Adding up, it's not a small amount of money earned.

  As for making fried dough sticks, Xiaoyu was already skilled at it and couldn't let go of this lucrative business. The sooner he reached a savings of 5,000 yuan, the more at ease his heart would be.

  Within two days, the customers of the wholesale market were surprised to find that the new chili sauce noodle shop started selling fried dough sticks in the morning. The fried dough sticks from this store are not only big and crispy, with a good taste, but also cheaper. The ones outside sell for 60 cents each, while here they only sell for 50 cents.

  Xiao Yu ran his own shop according to the model of Guo Master's noodle shop, selling fried dough sticks in the morning and spicy sauce noodles at noon and night, but Guo Master was a husband-and-wife team, while Xiao Yu was alone.

  Watching Xiao Yu busy all day, getting up early and sleeping late, not having a moment to himself, Old Zhang couldn't help but sigh that it's indeed the young people who can do this, the young man sleeps on a cold kang, relying on his strong physique, this old body of mine is no match.

  In fact, for Xiao Yu, as long as the fatigue level is below 50%, the loss of energy can be fully recovered by resting for an hour, and it does not require a long sleep to replenish energy.

  The proficiency of fried dough sticks has already reached 100%, and the proficiency of spicy noodle sauce has also reached 75% through this period of high-intensity practice. Customers are amazed to find that the noodles in this noodle shop are getting better and better.

  You Tiao and La Jjiang noodles both went down together, by the end of the third week, Xiao Yu's savings had already reached three thousand five hundred yuan.
