Chapter 4 Business Sense of Little Boss (1)
"Today is an auspicious day, and all your wishes will come true…"
The wee hours! 
The street was empty, and Yu Sheng could see no one except that there were several snack shops with lights on. Yu Sheng was ready to welcome the first batch of guests.
Seeing the boiling soup stock in the wok, Yu Sheng started his business of the first day with excitement.
In the darkness, Auntie Li was getting closer slowly. Seeing that Yu Sheng was sitting in front of the stall with earnest, Auntie Li chuckled and said, "Young man, you are full of vigor and energy. Get everything ready!"
"No problem. This is all owing to you, Auntie Li. Without your care, it is impossible for me to open the business today. Auntie Li, do you want to taste my exclusive and secretly-made fragrans and silkie noodles? 10 yuan each bowl. Buy it, and you will not suffer losses or be fooled." Yu Sheng said coolly while making a loop with the chopsticks in one of his hands. 
Auntie Li nodded. Looking at the unskilled actions of Yu Sheng, Auntie Li said, "Ok, give me a bowl of it."
Some noodles were put into the wok, and then the soup stock was poured on. A bowl of noodles was finished. It was so simple that there was even no coriander in it.
Yu Sheng served Auntie Li the noodles. It looked just like noodles in light soup with only soup and noodles, nothing else.
Auntie Li was stunned for a little while. Then she smelled the soup. The faint aroma of fragrans made her relaxed and happy, and also made her feel more vigorous and refreshed.
"It smells good. But this is not like noodles. You are too lazy. It should not be just like this. You should at least put some vegetable leaves as ornaments. If you really do not want to decorate it, then it is better to sprinkle with some minced scallion", Auntie Li said while shaking her head with frustration.
Yu Sheng had already tasted the noodles, and it was very special. He was not sure that everybody would love it. Yu Sheng said anxiously, "Auntie, I do want to add some vegetables in it, but the truth is I am too poor! Think about it. You are not so considerate of me. You have charged me 3,000 yuan only for this stall and these things. After much deliberation, I have no choice but to use fewer ingredients, because I have to earn the money back."
Auntie Li gave Yu Sheng a dirty look, and said, "Naughty boy, you are so loquacious! Let me taste it."
Tut…
Auntie Li swallowed a mouthful of noodles, which was completely immersed in the flavor of the soup stock. The fragrance of fragrans and the aroma of silkie perfectly integrated with each other yet with mutual independence. It made people feel more vigorous and refreshed, as if every pore was open.
After eating up a bowl of noodles, Auntie Li was lost in thought.
Yu Sheng looked a little perturbed, and asked, "How about it? Does it taste good, Auntie Li? Please do not scare me. I am timid."
After a short moment of contemplation, Auntie Li said, "The soup tastes fairly good, and you have added salt in the noodles, giving the flavor the sense of depth. It is very delicate, and girls will love it very much. As a small business ran on the street, this is pretty good!"
"Really? Great!" Yu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. There was cold sweat running down his forehead. Yu Sheng did not know what he could do if the noodles did not taste good, since he didn't have much money left at that moment.
However, Auntie Li continued and said professionally, "Even so, but…this bowl of noodles is good for nothing except for the soup. The noodles are too mushy. And too many noodles will make guests feel stuffed, and it also greatly weakens the dainty taste. Ornaments are not essential but you must cook the noodles moderately. Nevertheless, this is qualified in general, and is a kind of unusual light soup noodles, so this is pretty distinctive. You at least will not lose money as long as the guests are not satiated with it."
"Ok! It seems that my business has not yet succeeded and I still have to work hard." Yu Sheng was a little helpless. Auntie Li was indeed a business woman who had sold noodles for several decades. She was able to fine many problems upon tasting.
