Things turned out as Lin Fan expected. In less than three days, the instant noodles at the train station and several non-staple food stores were almost sold out, and he quickly placed a second batch of orders.
The second batch of orders totaled 300,000 packages more than the first batch of orders, completely clearing out the inventory in the past three days.
In these three days, the reputation of instant noodles has also been established.
"Have you heard? Recently, there is a kind of noodles called Master Lin's Braised Beef Noodles in the grocery store next to our school. You only need to soak them in boiling water and you can eat them, and they taste very good."
"Not only have I heard about it, I've also eaten it. It tastes great. Not only does it have braised beef noodles, but it also has Laotan pickled cabbage, mushroom stewed chicken, and pickled pepper beef."
"It's just one noodle. Is it really as delicious as you say?"
"If you don't believe it, just buy a pack and try it. It's not too expensive anyway, but the grocery store next to the school has run out of it, so you have to go to other grocery stores to buy it."
"......."
A group of students were sitting together and discussing. Some of them were drooling when they heard it. Some people just ran to buy it after hearing it halfway.
…………
"Excuse me, do you sell instant noodles here?" A young worker ran to the grocery store and asked.
"What kind of noodles are instant noodles?" asked the manager of the non-staple food store. He had heard of knife-cut noodles, fried noodles, and braised noodles, but he had never heard of instant noodles, and their store didn't sell noodles.
"Then it's gone." Hearing this, the young worker left in disappointment. He had already gone to several non-staple food stores but couldn't buy any instant noodles.
This situation happened several times in this non-staple food store. The manager was very curious and went to find out what instant noodles were. After understanding it clearly, he felt that the instant noodles would definitely sell well, so he went to Lin Fan's instant noodle factory and placed an order.
…………
"Don't crowd, line up, line up."
There was a long queue in front of a grocery store, all coming to buy instant noodles.
"Give me two packages of instant noodles, one package of braised beef flavor and one package of pickled pepper beef flavor." The person at the front handed the money and ticket to the salesperson.
After receiving the money and ticket, the salesperson took two packs of instant noodles and handed them to him as requested.
"I want a pack of mushroom-stewed chicken flavor." The person in front walked away happily with two packs of instant noodles, and the person behind him immediately came forward and handed over his money and tickets.
"The flavor of braised chicken with mushrooms is gone." The salesperson said, their store doesn't have many of this flavor and it has been sold out.
"Then I want spicy beef flavor." The man said.
The salesperson heard this and gave him a package of spicy beef flavor.
Half an hour later, the instant noodles in the store were sold out, but there was still a long queue.
"The instant noodles are gone. If you want to buy instant noodles, please come back tomorrow. Our store will have a new batch of goods arriving tomorrow, with a variety of flavors." The salesperson said.
"I've been waiting in line for half an hour, and it's hard to find a place for me, but why is it gone?"
"You must come early tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to buy it."
"......."
Those who didn't buy it were very sorry, but they had no choice but to go back.
He Aiguo came home from school with two packs of instant noodles in his hand. He had waited in line for a long time to buy them, just to give He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu a try.
"Mom, I'm back." He Aiguo shouted happily.
"When you get back, hurry up and do your homework. I'll call you when you have dinner." Qin Huairu said.
"Mom, I brought you a good thing today." He Aiguo said with a mysterious smile.
"What good thing?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
"That's it. It's called instant noodles. It's very popular in our school. I waited in line for a long time to buy two packages. One package is braised beef flavor, and the other is braised chicken flavor. Which one do you like?
"He Aiguo took out the instant noodles hidden behind his back like a treasure.
"It's rare for you to have such filial piety, but I won't eat it. You can keep it for yourself. Your dad is a chef. I can just ask him to cook whatever noodles I want." Qin Huairu smiled happily.
.
"Mom, this instant noodles is different from the noodles made by dad. You must try it." He Aiguo said.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all noodles?" Qin Huairu said.
"You'll find out later." After He Aiguo said that, he went to find a bowl and a pot of boiling water, and soaked the packet of mushroom-stewed chicken flavor.
"Don't you need to cook it?" Qin Huairu said in surprise.
"This is the difference of instant noodles. Just soak them in boiling water for three to five minutes." He Aiguo said with a smile.
The noodles were soaked quickly. He Aiguo opened the bowl, and an alluring aroma suddenly emitted.
"It smells so good." Qin Huairu's appetite increased when she smelled the fragrance.
"Mom, try it quickly." He Aiguo said.·
Qin Huairu picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted really good, and it was very different from the noodles made by He Yuzhu.
"Mom, how does it taste?" He Aiguo asked impatiently.
"It's delicious." Qin Huairu nodded.
"What smells so good?" At this time, He Yuzhu came back.
"It's the instant noodles my son bought. Come and try it too." Qin Huairu smiled and handed the noodles to He Yuzhu.
"Mom, you can eat this bowl. There is also a packet that I bought for dad." He Aiguo said, bringing another bowl and soaking the packet of braised beef flavor.
"Master Lin's braised beef noodles, it seems that this noodle was developed by a chef named Lin." He Yuzhu picked up the packaging bag and looked at it.
He Yuzhu's family didn't know that Lin Fan had researched the instant noodles, and Lin Fan didn't tell He Yuzhu about opening an instant noodle factory.
"Dad, the noodles are ready." Three minutes passed quickly, and He Aiguo handed the noodles to He Yuzhu.
"You can directly soak it in boiling water. This method is quite novel." He Yuzhu said that as a chef, he has a lot of interest in instant noodles.
"Hiliu Hiliu."
He Yuzhu took a bite and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's chewy and refreshing, the seasonings are well matched, and the recipe is so simple. The person who developed this noodle is really not an easy person. I really want to experience it if I have the opportunity." He Yuzhu said.
"He Aiguo, where did you buy this side?"
"It's in our school's grocery store, but it's out of stock now," He Aiguo said.
…………
On the seventh day of opening, Lin Xiaomu no longer had to go out to get orders. People took the initiative to come to their factory to place orders every day.
"Brother Fan, one production line is almost out of supply. Should we also open the other two production lines?" Lin Xiaomu said excitedly.
"Well, you can make arrangements." Lin Fan nodded.
"Brother Fan, you are really amazing. You can make any noodle and sell it so well." Lin Xiaomu said with some admiration.
"Instant noodles are not something I researched casually, especially this production line, which took a lot of effort on my part." Lin Fan said.
"That's great. If this continues, our factory will soon grow bigger."
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past month, the business of the instant noodle factory has been booming. People come to place orders every day. All three production lines have been started, but the supply is still in short supply.
"Xiaofan, this is this month's financial report."
In the office of the instant noodle factory, the accountant is Lin Fan. Come over and tell Lin Fan about the situation this month.
Mrs. Lin is indeed a professional accountant. Her financial statements are very good. All details are clear at a glance. You can find the information you need at a glance.
The total revenue of the instant noodle factory last month was 420,000, and the total expenditure was 180,000, but the subtraction of the two is not the profit last month.
Because they received a lot of orders in advance and collected part of the deposit, the real profit is definitely not that much.
"Xiao Fan, I calculated carefully. After excluding production costs and other various costs, the net profit from a pack of instant noodles is about two cents. Now that all three production lines have been started, they can produce 300,000 packs a day, and the profit per day is 6,000.
Yuan, that’s 180,000 yuan a month.”
Mother Lin couldn't help but get excited when she talked about these numbers.
In this era where one hundred yuan is a lot of money and one thousand yuan is a huge amount of money, most people don't even dare to think about the concept of making 180,000 yuan a month.
"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded.
"Xiaofan, why don't you look excited at all? That's 180,000 yuan, not 18 yuan." He Yuyu said.
"What's there to be excited about? It's just a small fuss now." Lin Fan said.
"You kid, you can say such big words." Although Mother Lin's words were reproachful, her tone was very relaxed.
"Hahaha, Mom, just look at it, I will definitely earn enough dowries and gifts for your grandchildren and granddaughters," Lin Fan said.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Mother Lin returned to her office.
After a while, Lin Xiaomu came to find Lin Fan.
"Brother Fan, people come to place orders every day. The three production lines can no longer supply. Should we increase production?" Lin Xiaomu asked.
"Don't increase production for the time being. Let's stabilize Four-Nine City first," Lin Fan said.
"Yes." Lin Xiaomu nodded, now she would do whatever Lin Fan said.
"Besides, you two have been very busy this month, and you have to increase production. Aren't you tired enough?" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"I'm a little tired, but after seeing so much money, I'm not tired anymore." Lin Xiaomu said, compared with so much money, this little hard work is nothing.
This is the charm of self-employment. If you work for the public, no matter how much money you make, it will not belong to you, and you will not have such motivation.
"Then you should pay more attention to rest. Our plan has just begun, so don't tire yourself out." Lin Fan said.
"By the way, Brother Fan, there is one more thing." He Yuyu suddenly remembered.
"What's the matter?" Lin Fan asked.
"We now use rented cars for transportation. There are a lot of goods to be delivered every day. This is a big expense, and renting a car is inconvenient. Can we buy a few cars ourselves?" Lin Xiaomu said.
In the past, she would never have been able to talk about buying a few cars, but now that she can earn 180,000 a month, buying a few cars is not a big deal.
"Money is not an issue, but where can we buy it?" Lin Fan said. In this era, cars cannot be bought with money.
