The next day. early morning.
I had steamed buns for breakfast.
There was no rice cooked yesterday evening, and the staple food was steamed buns.
There were a few left in the evening, so in the morning, Chu Mengxi heated up the remaining buns, which was enough for a few people.
It was the first time for Chu Mengxi to eat steamed buns made by Li Xia. After taking a bite, Chu Mengxi knew why Li Xia was able to sell three hundred steamed buns in one afternoon.
This bun is so delicious!
This was her first time to eat such delicious buns!
None of the buns sold at the county market are as delicious as Li Xia’s buns!
Chu Mengxi was very proud, how could her man be so powerful!
……
Li Xia loaded the aquatic products onto the donkey cart, and then went to the county town with Chu Mengxi.
After sending Chu Mengxi to the gate of the textile factory, Li Xia went to the eel noodle restaurant.
At the door of the noodle shop, the boss was waiting for him.
As soon as he saw Li Xia driving the donkey cart, a bright smile appeared on the boss's face.
"Xiao Li, you are finally here. Come on, let me help you."
The noodle shop owner was very enthusiastic and helped Li Xia park the donkey cart. Then he ordered the store clerk to get the tools and collect the eels and loaches that Li Xia had caught first.
Drain them and weigh them.
The clerk said:"Boss, it's done. The eels totaled 72 jins, and the loaches and some miscellaneous fish totaled 18 jins."
"These eels are very big."
The guy added
"Um!"
The noodle shop owner was very satisfied. He patted Li Xia on the shoulder and said:
"Xiao Li, it’s a good thing that you showed up in time, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to collect the eels. I expected to collect them from the villagers, but I would be out of stock every three days, which would make me miserable.
Li Xia smiled and said:"Our cooperation is a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.""
"Ha ha!"The noodle shop owner nodded in agreement.
Monopterus eel costs 60 cents per catty,"590" per catty, and 72 catties totals 46 yuan and 80 cents.
Loach and mixed fish cost 6 cents per catty, and 18 catties total 10 yuan and 80 cents."
The noodle shop owner gave Li Xia fifty-seven yuan and sixty cents, and then invited him to try the new and improved eel noodles.
Li Xia said:"Boss, I have already had breakfast.""
"Then I'll make a small portion. You must try it. It was your kid's suggestion, so you should give me feedback!"
There was no other way. Li Xia could only sit down and eat another bowl of eel noodles.
Soon, a small bowl of eel noodles was served.
The noodle shop owner looked expectantly:"Come on, Xiao Li, try it quickly. This time The eels are all caught by you. If the meat quality is not good, it is your fault."
"Try this side again to see if it is chewy or not."
Li Xia picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites.
"How about it? how is the taste?"
Li Xia tasted it for a few seconds, then extended his thumb:
"Boss, that's right. The taste of your eel noodles is already close to perfection. No matter how picky you are, you can't fault it."
Li Xia is telling the truth. This boss has perfected the taste of eel noodles made in this way.
Of course, there is more than one way to make eel noodles in all corners of the world.
And it is difficult to agree on how to make it, and some people like to eat it in other ways. Eel noodles.
Therefore, perfection is only relative.
When the noodle shop owner heard the word"perfect", his heart skipped a beat!
"real?! Perfect?!
Li Xia nodded:"I told the truth.""
"OK! good!"The noodle shop owner was very happy
"Xiao Li, thanks for your suggestion, I have to thank you!"He patted Li Xia on the shoulder and said again:
"From now on, you can come to my noodle shop to eat noodles at any time, and I will never charge you."
The noodle shop owner said it seriously and decisively. Li Xia could only thank him.
……
After leaving the eel noodle restaurant, Li Xia rushed to the family building in the mining area.
Li Xia’s wild fish is still very popular.
Moreover, Li Xia's fish stall has cultivated many regular customers who love fish.
From time to time, Li Xia would also teach some housewives tips on cooking fish.
For example, when braised crucian carp, you need to drain the water from the fish, then rub some salt on it and marinate it for a while, so that when you fry the fish, it will not stick to the pan, the skin will not break, and it will not crack.
For another example, when making pickled fish, the fish fillets should not just be seasoned with salt. Instead, after seasoning, a little egg white and a little starch should be added to coat the fish fillets. After doing this, the fish fillets will be More tender and less likely to break
……
Some middle-aged women will take notes and write down the tips Li Xia said.
Many middle-aged aunts like Li Xia, a young boss.
Some even want to introduce someone to Li Xia.
When he learned that Li Xia was married, he said it was a pity.
Three hours later.
Li Xia closed the fish stall.
Already sold short.
A total of 153 kilograms of fish were sold, and the income was 11.9 yuan and 34 cents.
Revenue is up from yesterday, but not much.
At noon, after Li Xia brought lunch to Chu Mengxi, she continued to prepare buns for the afternoon.
The number of buns increased to six hundred.
Need to make another cage.
Go up the mountain to cut bamboo and go home to make a steamer.
After that, go to Old Zhaotou and buy his leeks and cabbage.
Old Zhaotou was busy working in the fields. When he reached out to wipe his sweat, he happened to see Li Xia coming over. He was stunned.
Li Xia wouldn't come to the fields if he had nothing to do. He didn't grow vegetables at all.
Unless...
Old Zhaotou asked tentatively:"You...are not here to buy my food again?"
Li Xia smiled and said:"Haha, Uncle Zhao, you guessed it right."
"What?! So, all the buns yesterday were sold?"
"Well, they're all sold out."Li Xia answered calmly.
Old Zhaotou was no longer calm. This guy's buns can be sold, and all of them were sold out, a total of three hundred buns!
This means that his buns must taste good. Very good!
Old Zhaotou asked curiously:"You can actually make steamed buns? Li
Xia replied:"You know how to support your family. Uncle Zhao, this time I want twenty kilograms of leeks and cabbage.""
"What?"
Old Zhaotou was surprised again,"How come there are twice as many as yesterday?"
"Because I have to make 600 steamed buns, I made 300 buns yesterday, but they were not enough to sell."
Old Zhaotou:"!!!"
This street kid!
Awesome!
……
After buying Lao Zhaotou's food, Li Xia returned home.
Kneading noodles, chopping stuffing, making buns, putting them on the steamer... everything is in order.
After loading more than 600 steamed buns onto the donkey cart, Li Xia rushed to the county seat again.
……
North Street, market.
This afternoon, Zhangji Baozi Shop did not sell any steamed buns, but instead sold Chenji steamed buns.
Boss Chen ordered his waiters to move three large cages of freshly steamed pork buns and a large cage of vegetable buns outside in preparation for opening.
Boss Chen muttered to himself:"What's going on with Lao Zhang? He wants to switch to the morning with me, which makes me in a hurry."
Boss Chen looked around and found that the flow of people seemed to be larger than usual this afternoon.
Moreover, these people seemed to be gathered around their bun shop.
Boss Chen was a little confused, but without thinking much, he turned to the waiter and said:
"I see that there is a lot of traffic today. Please ask us to prepare more fillings. We will try to sell three cages more than usual."
"OK, boss."
After giving the instructions, Boss Chen shouted, and then officially opened the business.
There was a rush of people around.
According to the past, as soon as Chen Ji's steamed buns are out of the pot, customers will queue up outside.
The first cage of pork buns will definitely be sold within ten minutes. Finished.
Boss Chen saw that there were so many people today, so he estimated that the first basket of steamed buns might be sold out in five minutes.
"Chen Kee steamed buns are ready~! Customers who want to eat Chen Kee pork buns, hurry up and buy them.~!"
Boss Chen's angry shout attracted the attention of the people around him.
In fact, there is no need for Boss Chen to shout, because Chen Ji Baozi is famous far and wide, and everyone knows to look for Chen Ji Baozi when buying buns.
The boss just shouted symbolically.
Just when Boss Chen thought there would be an endless stream of customers, he didn't know that the people around him just looked back and didn't come to line up.
What's happening here?
Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, and then shouted again. (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The result... is still the same.
Only a few people came to buy pork buns, and the quantity they bought was not large.
Boss Chen looked confused and couldn't figure out what was going on today.
Very unusual.
Is there something wrong with my buns?
Impossible. He tasted the buns after they came out of the pot and it was fine.
Just as Boss Chen was wondering, he saw several old customers passing by in the crowd.
Boss Chen showed a bright smile and greeted:
"Aunt Li, are you here? My buns have just come out of the oven. Do you want eight or ten today?"
Aunt Li glanced at Boss Chen, and then said a little embarrassedly:
"That, that, I don’t want it today."
Boss Chen:"?"
Boss Chen was a little puzzled. Aunt Li had to eat his Chenji steamed buns every day. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't eat them for a day.
Why don't you want it today?
When I was wondering.
Boss Chen saw another old customer passing by
"Why! Uncle Zheng, you are still on time every day and order a few buns, freshly baked."
Uncle Zheng waved his hand and said:"I don't want it today, but I will buy it next time."
Boss Chen:"??"
Don’t want it again?
What's going on?
Uncle Zheng is unstoppable every day. He must eat three of his pork buns to feel comfortable.
"Eh! Uncle Zheng! You really don’t want buns today?!"
Boss Chen shouted several times, but Uncle Zheng didn't even look back.
Another old customer came over.
"Lao Zhou, hey, Lao Zhou, come over and eat steamed buns!"
"No, I won’t eat it, next time..."
Boss Chen:"???"
Lao Zhou doesn’t eat it either?!
"Is this broad daylight? Why is no one eating steamed buns today?"
Boss Chen couldn't figure it out.
The waiter next to him said:"Boss, look, these people are gathered here, they seem to be waiting for someone?"
"Um?"
Boss Chen took a closer look, and it was true!
The crowds were flowing here and there, and most of their eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, were glancing in one direction.
At this moment,
Li Xia drove the donkey cart into the market.
He I arrived just in time, at exactly 3:30 in the afternoon.
Business is all about integrity, so try not to be late. As soon as Li Xia appeared, the crowd immediately became restless.
"Look, he's coming!"
"Oh my god! He's finally here!"
"I waited so long, anxiously, impatiently, and missed him so much that he finally came!"
Some people even used the idiom, this person wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination
……
Boss Chen:"????"
"who is he?"
The waiter was also wondering, who are they waiting for?
Out of curiosity, everyone in the Chenji Baozi Shop ran out and looked in the direction of Li Xia.
They saw a group of people rushing over in a somewhat crazy manner.
Li Xia put the The donkey cart was parked, and the customers who were buying buns also lined up.
Li Xia took out the cardboard from yesterday.
It was the same as before.
Steamed stuffed buns with pork stuffing: 19 cents/one steamed stuffed bun with chives and shrimps: 17 cents/ Steamed buns stuffed with cabbage sauce and meat: 15 cents/piece
"Boss, here are fifteen pork buns, fifteen chives and shrimps, and fifteen cabbage sauce pork buns."
The customer at the front of the queue bought forty-five buns in one go.
The customers at the back couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hello! If you don’t bring this, you can eat so much!"
"Those in front, please buy less, the queue is long behind you!"
"You do wholesale and buy so much! Buy a few and try them!"
"Are you a scalper? I asked the police to arrest you!"
……
The first customer paid, took the bun and started eating immediately, finishing off a pork bun in just a few bites.
The customers in line behind pointed at him, and he was also grumpy and impatient, so he immediately responded:
"What are you arguing about? I have a huge appetite. Who cares how many buns I buy! snort!"
"Next time I will just buy a basket and starve you to death! I’m so hungry for you!"
……
At this time, the owner of Li Ji Baozi stall shouted:
"Don't worry, everyone, I made 600 steamed buns today, don't worry, queue up to buy them, I'll have enough."
The customers in line cheered
"Give me eight pieces of pork, five pieces of shrimp with leeks, and five pieces of pork with cabbage sauce."
"okay! Take it"
"There are ten buns with three kinds of fillings!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you"
……
Behind the queue, the man selling candied haws on a stick and the man selling oranges were also queuing up to buy steamed buns. not far away.
4.6 A group of people at Chenji Baozi Shop stared blankly at Li Xia Baozi Stall, and were collectively shocked!
Where did this bun stall come from?!
Are his buns so delicious?
Why is it so popular?
A series of questions swirled in the minds of Boss Chen and others.
Boss Chen frowned deeply. Now, he finally knew why Lao Zhang came to see him specifically yesterday evening!
I have to switch to selling buns in the morning! turn out to be!
It's because this bun stall that comes from nowhere is stealing business!
Completely stole their business!
This is too fake!
Their two steamed bun shops, Chen and Zhang, have been operating in this North Street Market for more than ten years.
How could it be so easy and simple to be defeated by a donkey bun stall?! is it possible?
Is this scientific?
When Boss Chen was confused, he saw the owner of Zhangji Baozi Shop walking over from the street.
Boss Chen’s heart skipped a beat and he waved quickly:
"Hello! Lao Zhang! Come here quickly! Come on!"
Boss Chen really wanted to ask him, what is going on?
But when Boss Zhang came over, he did not stop. He glanced at Boss Chen, and then, with a sullen face, he walked to Li Xia's buns without saying a word. stall, queued up to buy steamed buns.
Boss Chen:"……" ten minutes later.
Boss Zhang bought a dozen buns, walked to Chenji Bun Shop, took out the buns he bought, and said:
"Eat it first. After eating, you will have the answer."
Boss Zhang and Boss Chen, two master chefs who have been making steamed buns for many years, picked up Li Xia's steamed buns at the same time and took a bite. It was just one bite!
The expressions on the faces of the two bosses changed drastically!
