I Am A Gourmet: Just Eight And You Want Me To Start A Roadside Stall?

Chapter 25: Capital Problem!

“Hello, little Master Chef, there’s no need to be nervous. We’re from the city enforcement team.”

The man in the city enforcement uniform smiled and said.

Xu Le immediately felt shy when he heard the city enforcement officers call him “Little Master Chef”.

“You can just call me Xu Le.”

“Okay, little… Xu Le friend. We’re here to make some law enforcement suggestions based on the city management rules.”

This was also the first time the city enforcement officers were dealing with children at work, so they were slightly nervous.

“The business here is too good. There are many customers who don’t have seats and can only eat by the roadside with their bowls. The number of people queuing often exceeds a hundred. It’s too crowded for this food street, and it’s very easy for traffic problems to arise.”

Xu Le frowned after hearing the city enforcement officer’s suggestion.

The city enforcement officers were right.

His food stall only had one table and four stools, and the number of customers that came every day could exceed a thousand people at times. If all of them crowded on this street, it would indeed affect the operation of the entire food street.

“Buddy Xu Le, based on our suggestion, it’s best for you to open a proper store. It will be beneficial to your future development and reduce the pressure on the city management.”

Xu Le fell into deep thought.

The city enforcement officer’s words were very clear.

With his current business model, it was obviously not going to work. He had to rent a store.

But renting a storefront meant spending money…

He still needed to rent a venue and renovate it.

Even tens of thousand might not be enough.

After the city enforcement officer left, Xu Le sat alone on the chair and fell into deep thought.

When his parents left, they did not leave behind any savings.

There were only a few thousand dollars in the bank account.

Xu Le had been working hard for the past few days. His total income was about 40,000 yuan, but he still had to pay the rent at home.

If he wanted to rent a storefront… after Xu Le’s rough calculations, it would take at least 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand…

Xu Le’s face was filled with bitterness.

Even if his business was booming now, it was still just a food stall after all. He was the only chef.

Being able to earn a few thousand dollars a day was already the limit.

If he wanted to save up 200,000, he would need a month or more.

He was just a child, and the bank could not provide him with a loan.

This time, the city enforcement officers had come here to give him some suggestions.

But that might not be the case next time.

What made Xu Le even more worried was that there would be hundreds and thousands of people crowding in front of his snack stall every day. What if there was a safety hazard?
