At dawn, the couple who opened the snack bar faced the night and rode their bicycles from home to the snack bar.

The man opened the rolling shutter, walked into the store, and began to prepare for today's preparations.

Within twenty minutes, the uncle who delivered the pork drove over in a van. The man greeted him and moved a basket of pork into the store.

The uncle who delivered the pork complained: "Your purchase volume is getting smaller and smaller now. If the purchase volume is still so small, I will increase the unit price."

The man smiled apologetically and said, "Echizen-kun, please be considerate. We have just opened a store, and business will be better in the future."

"To put it bluntly, opening a restaurant is not that simple." Uncle Pork lit up a cigarette and started smoking. "I don't think you are suitable for this at all. You should find a way to work in a company."

The man was a little annoyed when he heard this, but it was not easy to get angry. After all, it is a fact that business is in a miserable state now.

"Why, you're not convinced." The pork boss looked at him sideways, "Well, let's make a bet. If you have more than a hundred customers today, I will give you a 20% discount on all your pork in the next month.

But if it doesn’t exceed a hundred, I will increase the unit price of pork for you by 10% from now on. It’s reasonable, right?”

"One hundred?" The man frowned. Now that his snack bar could receive fifty customers a day, it was already considered too many. More often, there were only twenty or thirty customers a day, which was very miserable.

"How can we open a restaurant if we can't accommodate a hundred customers?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The man's purchase quantity is too small, which rarely makes the pork dealer dissatisfied. This is not what he said when they first negotiated the price. So the pork dealer plans to increase the price recently, and the man also knows that the bet is just an excuse for him.

Anyway, no matter what, this guy is going to raise the price... The man can only agree.

The pork dealer smiled and drove away.

The man sighed and returned to the store. When his wife saw his gloomy expression, she immediately came to comfort him, "The child's father, it's okay."

"Thank you for your hard work." The man patted his wife on the back, then walked into the kitchen and started working.

Put the fresh pork into a meat grinder and mince it, then stir vigorously, mix in the green onion juice, sea sausage puree, seasonings...

The woman walked in at this time: "The father of the child, I want to discuss something with you."

"We have a lot of repeat customers here. Those who have eaten here think it tastes good, but the location is too remote, so I want to change the store."

"Not long after I rented this place, I have already spent a lot of money on rent and decoration..."

"It's better than losing money all the time." The woman said, gently stroking the man's back with her right hand, "Don't worry about money, I took care of my mother and borrowed some money..."

The man didn't speak, but lowered his head.

"Don't feel embarrassed, my dear." The woman said in a gentle voice, "Parents do think about their children, just like we think a lot about Nobita."

"I know, thank my mother-in-law for me." The man's voice was very low.

The woman smiled, turned around and left the kitchen, putting on the fried dumpling hood again.

"Excuse me, are you open now?" At this time, two female college students stood at the door of the store and asked inside.

"I'm sorry, we haven't opened yet." The woman bent down and said, "Our official opening time is nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, let's come back later." The girl said.

The woman said sorry again, and quickly tore off a coupon and handed it to the two girls, fearing that they would not come over soon.

After the two girls left, less than ten minutes later, two more people walked into the store. The woman apologized to them again and explained the store's business hours.

More and more guests entered the restaurant, but they left after hearing that it was not open yet. The woman looked at the guests leaving one by one with distress, and became a little anxious. She quickly ran into the kitchen to help the man process the ingredients. The man also speeded up his work.

Action, hope to open as soon as possible.

You must know that there are usually not so many guests all day long. I don’t know what happened today, but so many people came here, as if they came here specially.

"Excuse me, may I ask, is this the restaurant that appeared in "The Lonely Gourmet"?" Another man walked into the store and asked the woman.

"The lonely gourmet..." The woman was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that not long ago, a group of people were filming a program in her store.

She didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and she didn't stay in front of the TV to watch that episode. After all, it was late at night, catering was very hard, and she had to go to bed very early, so there was no time to stay up late and watch TV.

The woman looked at more and more customers coming to her door and suddenly understood, could these people be...

Seeing that the time was approaching nine o'clock, the new guests did not leave and directly occupied their seats.

The man quickly finished processing the ingredients, and the woman began to go to the guests to order the dishes one by one.

The most ordered ones are the combination of fried dumplings, spicy stir-fried udon and lemon oolong tea. The owner and his wife remembered that the young man filming the show seemed to have ordered these things when he first came to the store.

"It's really delicious. It seems Inokashira Goro didn't lie to us."

"I've been to all the restaurants that appeared in the first four episodes of "The Lonely Gourmet", and none of them were delicious."

"Pack a copy and take it back to school."

More and more customers came into the store, and when they saw that there were no seats, they packed up and took away the food. The man's kitchen was suddenly so busy that he didn't even have time to breathe.

"Quick, mother, call the fat man who sells pork and ask him to send another two hundred kilograms of pork." The man panted.

"Two hundred catties..." The woman hesitated, could she sell so much? But she turned around and saw piles of customers coming to her door, so she no longer hesitated and ran out of the store to find a public phone booth.

After a while, the pork van drove over again. The pork dealer looked a little skeptical at first, but he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the scene in the snack bar.

"Damn it... why are there so many people..."

"Please help me get the pig in, please," the woman begged.

"No problem..." The pork seller was stunned for a moment and quickly sent the pork to the kitchen.

When the pork seller walked into the kitchen, the man was busy making fried dumplings. When he saw the pork seller, he didn't even look at him, but he said: "Don't forget the agreement between us!"

The pork seller looked at the customers in the store and asked, "Are these people hired by you with money?"

"What are you talking about?"

The pork sellers all muttered: "I keep my word. I'll give you a 20% discount this month. But you must always buy from me in the future."

"Then it depends on your price."

"If you purchase a large quantity, your price will definitely be lower than others."

The pork seller looked at the customers in the store again, scratched his head, and asked in confusion: "But then again, your business suddenly became so good? It didn't seem like this a few days ago, right?"

"Who knows?" The man put the raw dumplings into the pan and fried them. Suddenly something occurred to him and he turned to the pork seller and smiled: "Maybe it was the passing gods who heard my prayer..."
