Chapter 195 Expanding Business

• A week later, Xiao Luo's barbecue had already become half of a master, and Lao Liu's nephew was indeed as obedient and honest as Lao Liu had said. When he found out that he was only earning three thousand a month as an apprentice, but would earn five thousand a month after becoming a journeyman, he almost worked tirelessly to study the art of barbecue. He was the first one to arrive at the shop every day, waiting at the door even before Wang Wenbin arrived after buying groceries. He was always busy, helping Wang Wenbin when there was work to do, and setting up the grill to practice when there was nothing else to do. Wang Wenbin had told him that as long as he wanted to learn, it didn't matter how much food he wasted, it would all be on him. So, Lao Liu's nephew worked day and night, and in just three days, he had mastered the art of grilling. Wang Wenbin decided it was time to promote him. When Wang Wenbin asked him why he was working so hard, he told Wang Wenbin that he had a younger brother and sister to support, and he himself had not continued his education. He wanted his siblings to stay in school. Upon hearing this, Wang Wenbin didn't know what to say, he just patted him on the shoulder and told him that from that day on, he would be paid according to the regular salary.
• After Xiao Luo and Old Liu's nephew officially started working, Wang Wenbin suddenly felt relaxed. At least, he didn't need to cook at noon anymore because the two of them could handle the lunch rush completely. This meant that from the morning when he purchased ingredients until before five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Wenbin didn't have to step into the kitchen. Finally, he could free up his hands to do other things.
• The first thing Wang Wenbin did was to introduce set meals in the store, mainly targeting takeout orders. These set meals were selected based on the popular takeout dishes over the past ten days of operation. The set meals typically consisted of fried rice, a few skewers of beef, chicken gizzards, and other items that students often liked to order for takeout. The set meals were slightly cheaper than ordering items separately, and ensured that one set meal was enough for one person to eat well. Of course, there were many types of set meals available, ranging from cheap to expensive, depending on the quantity and variety of dishes. The prices of the set meals ranged from twelve to thirty yuan, with a total of five set meals introduced.
