The speed at which information spreads in modern society is quite fast. If in the era before Zhang Tong's crossing, if a restaurant wanted to be a little famous, in addition to advertising, then the most important thing was the reputation of customers.

And for restaurants, word of mouth from customers is a more important thing than advertising. There is an old saying: gold and silver cups are not as good as the good reputation of guests.

Word of mouth about how well a store is doing is actually the highest praise for catering companies. For example, Zhang Tong went to the vegetable market to buy Lao Gan Ma hot sauce today, this is a catering company that relies entirely on word of mouth.

And this is a company that has no advertising at all, only relies on word of mouth on the streets, and finally uses this most backward way to become well-known in China.

And how long does it take to accumulate a good reputation? 10 or even 20 years!

Xiang Zhang's parents opened a small shop before Zhang Tong crossed the street, which was unknown at first, and later everyone in the street began to eat and became famous in the surrounding residential areas, a process that Zhang Tong's parents took almost three years to complete.

And Zhang Tong feels that his cooking skills are not bad, but if he wants to rely on word of mouth to build a store, it will take at least a year.

But Zhang Tong far underestimated the speed of information dissemination in this era. In this era, a person who has gone from obscurity to being known to the world is just a distance away from the title of the UC Shock Department, and Lao Zhang's store has become popular much faster than he thought.

At noon after Wang Qian left, Zhang Tong officially opened for lunch at 11 o'clock. And there were already six or seven people lined up at the scene.

Among them, there are several familiar faces, and Zhang Tong knows them. There was a guy with gold-rimmed glasses who would come to him for dinner almost every afternoon after work.

When Zhang Tong opened the glass door to announce the opening, the little brother with gold wire glasses greeted Zhang Tong with a smile: "Boss Zhang, good afternoon." I brought my friends over to eat your food. ”

"Hello, hello. Thank you very much. "Today is Sunday, and the originally cold noon has also started to have business, which is unexpected by Zhang Tong.

"What is Boss Zhang doing today, I'm looking forward to it. I didn't go to work today, and I came here from Taoura. The little brother with gold wire glasses said with a smile. The little brother looks like he lives in Taopu and usually works in a nearby office building.

But it's still a long way from Momoura. Zhang Tong smiled, this is not considered a loyal customer. It took dozens of minutes to drive here for a bite to eat.

The glasses guy was very popular, and a few companions brought by him were a little curious about the scale of Zhang Tong's shop, and one of them said: "The god store you said is this one." It's too small. ”

"It's good to be a small shop, but now the big store is really not tasteful. Do you remember the last time we went to that roast duck that was eaten by something? The shop is big enough, but the taste is really average. It's better to be a small shop, and sometimes the fly restaurant has more flavor than the big store. A female companion in the same company said this, and at the same time looked at Zhang Tong twice. Maybe she thinks Zhang Tong's posture is also quite good.

"A small restaurant is a small restaurant, but this restaurant is not a fly restaurant, don't you see how clean this small shop is?" The glasses brother seems to be a fan of Lao Zhang: "This store is much cleaner than many big hotels." ”

After being reminded by the glasses guy, everyone noticed that this was really the case. Zhang Tong didn't let them comment on his small shop for too long and said to them directly: "There are two main dishes today, jelly yellow eel pot and jelly chicken pot, the taste can be spicy or not." Zhang Tong pointed to today's supply on his menu.

Jelly pot is still relatively rare in Huaihai, in fact, Guangdong's claypot food is very popular in the country. Whether it's a jelly clay pot or a claypot rice, many people like to eat it.

However, this kind of claypot food is relatively difficult to make, and if the claypot rice is not ready, the pot at the bottom will be burnt and you will not be able to eat it, but it is not delicious without the pot.

There are many restaurants that make jelly pots, but most of them are just decorations. Most of the gel clay pots in the shops outside are cooked with the ingredients cooked, the casserole is heated slightly, and the vegetables cooked in the iron pot are poured in.

This is not a serious way to make a gel pot at all, and the clay pot has become an ornament in it, and there is no difference between it and not.

Zhang Tong's jelly clay pot is a serious cooking, using a clay pot to cook ingredients directly. The chicken and the yellow eel went directly to the clay pot to cook, and the glasses brother came with a total of five people, and ordered three jelly pots and two eels and one chicken under Zhang Tong's proposal. One of the eels was not spicy at all, and among the people who came, there were friends who couldn't eat spicy food at all, while the other four liked spicy food.

It is a very technical thing to cook raw ingredients directly in a clay pot, especially the clay pot is not a non-stick pan under the fierce fire and fast attack, and the ingredients are easy to stick to the pot if they contact the bottom surface of the clay pot for too long, so it is easy to paste the pot. And once the pot is pasted, then the whole gel pot will not be edible.

This is also the reason why many hotels outside do not use clay pots to make gel pots directly. Zhang Tong quickly attacked, and the skill of making a gel pot directly with a clay pot made the glasses brother and his friends stand outside the semi-open kitchen in amazement, and some people used mobile phones to record the video.

"Wow! It's really hard to eat such authentic Cantonese flavor in Huaihai!" When the three jelly pots were served, the glasses guy had a good face, because he discovered this shop by himself, and now he is not ashamed to introduce it to his friends.

Everyone has done one thing that modern people do before eating, that is, taking pictures and sending them to Moments. Although Zhang Tong still doesn't quite understand what these people are doing, it's good for everyone to be happy.

Originally, the glasses brother and they came to eat normally, Zhang Tong didn't pay attention to anything, but the topic they talked about made him hear it.

"Chongming Island is going to be demolished? And the entire island is being demolished? No mistake!" The glasses brother looked at one of his friends incredulously, he lived on Chongming Island. Chongming Island can be said to be the back garden of Huaihai, and it is also the third largest island in the country, at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Brother glasses' friend, a man who looked to be in his thirties, nodded: "Yes, the municipal relocation has begun." And the action is very fast, and it is very refreshing to compensate the house or the compensation money. The peasants who had a vegetable patch at home and built a big house were sent this time. ”

Chongming can be said to be one of the most important vegetable and fruit production bases in Huaihai City, and originally Chongming could only be regarded as a countryside. But if this man is telling the truth, then these people really want to send it.

Especially in the early years, the compensation for building a large house with a homestead is a lot.

"This time the compensation was very fast and very high. The house next door to me was compensated with 20 million yuan for the house and land, plus five houses in Songjiang District. The man in his early thirties said this, and several of his friends present were envious.

"Obediently, this is going to be sent!" The glasses brother couldn't help but say: "But what is the municipal development going to Chongming Island for? It is impossible to develop Chongming's real estate, and how far you have to walk a cross-sea bridge to Chongming." ”

"It's not real estate development, my old man works in the township government of Chongming, and he told me some news. It seems that the state intends to build a city that can accommodate three million people directly in Chongming. ”

"Crazy! Build a city in Chongming?!" The female companion said in disbelief, "And even if you want to build a city, there is no need to expropriate all Chongming's land." ”

The man shook his head: "You don't understand, the city to be repaired this time is different." It's not what we generally understand, the state wants to build a semi-closed city. ”

"Why?" everyone looked at the man curiously.

"Have you read the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic in a Certain Science"? The country is going to build a city similar to a school city, and the main objects of its activities are the awakeners and returnees!" The man showed that he was well-informed.

And when Zhang Tong heard this when he was busy in the kitchen, he frowned, huh? What the hell is this doing?
