Chapter 30: Do you believe it if you were given a kitchen knife?
After buying chili peppers, Lin Hao walked around here, and took a lot of vegetables and a basket of eggs with him when he left.
Although the backyard of the small shop is a small vegetable garden, the output has always been limited, and the number of customers who have come to the door has gradually increased recently, Lin Hao has not been able to rely on the few vegetable plots in the yard to be self-sufficient, so he can only buy some outside.
Leaving from here, Lin Hao went to several other vegetable markets and bought the rest of the things, and then returned to the store.
Because yesterday's business was very good, Lin Hao planned to make more in the morning, so he bought a lot of ingredients that he needed to come back.
After carrying a bunch of big bags and small bags, Lin Hao suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to consider buying a car.
Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient to buy groceries in the future.
After resting for a while, Lin Hao began to make today's xiaolongbao.
In order to ensure freshness, all the xiaolongbao were made on the same day when Lin Hao purchased the ingredients and made them on the same day.
Of course, if you want to sell yesterday's one, you don't have it anymore.
When Xiaolongbao was halfway through, Lin Hao found a very fatal problem, the small steamer was not enough.
It's too late to buy a new one now.
The key is that even if you buy it back, you can't use it directly, the newly purchased bamboo steamer has an astringent taste, and if you don't carry out special treatment in advance, the steamed xiaolongbao will taste good and unhygienic.
Although there are many small steel steamers now, in comparison, Lin Hao still likes this kind of bamboo.
This is not only a traditional culture, but also because the bamboo steamer can keep the steam water inside from flowing back, and it is good to retain the color and flavor of the food itself.
In desperation, Lin Hao had no choice but to wrap the xiaolongbao first, and then steam and sell it at noon.
It's just that before noon arrived, there were already guests coming to the door.
"Boss, is the xiaolongbao ready?"
Lin Hao, who was still making xiaolongbao, raised his head and looked at the guests who entered the store, then raised his wrist, looked at the time on his watch, and replied, "It'll be fine soon, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait for a while." ”
The first batch of xiao long bao has already been put into the steamer, just wait a little longer.
"Okay, wait a minute, bring me two drawers of xiaolongbao. ”
Hearing Lin Hao's answer, the other party asked for two drawers of xiaolongbao in advance, and then found a place to sit down in the store.
Yesterday, he tasted the xiaolongbao made by Lin Hao here, and was conquered by the taste of xiaolongbao at that time, but it was already sold out when he wanted it again, so he came over a little earlier today.
There will be food to enjoy right away, and it won't be a big deal to wait a while.
After a while, a few more people came to the store one after another.
Not surprisingly, they're all here for xiaolongbao, some of them former customers, and some of them because of online recommendations.
They all came early, and the xiaolongbao hadn't been baked yet, but these people didn't leave, but like the previous person, they ordered in advance, and then directly found a place to sit down.
After a while, all six tables in the store were occupied.
Fortunately, Lin Hao didn't let them wait longer, and the first batch of xiaolongbao was baked and sent to them as soon as possible.
Since the amount of one xiaolongbao is not large, many people directly order two or even three servings.
As for the rest, Lin Hao doesn't have the time to do it now, so he won't accept orders for the time being, because today's xiaolongbao hasn't been fully packed yet.
While wrapping xiaolongbao and looking at the lively scene in the store, Lin Hao's heart was only satisfied.
It doesn't have much to do with how much money you make, and in less than a week, the store has grown from a little-known to the point it is now, and the sense of accomplishment gained is difficult to replace with money.
For a while, Lin Hao was full of motivation and his mood was infinitely better.
Looking at the customers in the store, both men and women, they all feel very cute.
Since there are people sitting at every table in the store, the next people who come to the door may have to share the table, but fortunately, they themselves are running for xiaolongbao, and if they can have xiaolongbao, they don't mind commuting.
Originally, Lin Hao was worried that as there were more and more people in the store, the place in the store would not be enough to sit, but he soon found that this worry was unnecessary.
Because before the store could sit down, the first batch of xiaolongbao had already been sold out.
Yes, all sold out.
Because of this, those who came earlier wanted to pack a portion or two after eating, and in the end they could only regret leaving.
None of these people who came today disputed the price of xiaolongbao, because they had all known about it in advance, and after tasting it, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the price.
However, the number of xiaolongbao and the speed of baking have been criticized.
was complained about, and naturally Lin Hao, the boss, was inevitable.
In fact, Lin Hao was also very aggrieved.
It's not that he's slow, it's that the people who came today are too fast.
Although Lin Hao knew that there would be a lot of people coming to the door today, he didn't expect that there would be so many, and they were already in short supply.
He's just alone, but with so many mouths in the store, no matter how fast he does it, he can't match the speed at which they eat.
The second batch of xiaolongbao was baked, and in less than ten minutes, it was sold out.
As more and more people come, the follow-up xiaolongbao is always gone at the first time.
It was the first time Lin Hao had encountered such a situation.
Even though Lin Hao's xiaolongbao prepared today was more than twice as large as yesterday, it was sold out earlier than yesterday.
"I'm sorry everyone, but today's xiaolongbao has all been sold out. ”
As the last drawer of xiaolongbao was brought out, Lin Hao had no choice but to reluctantly announce the news to the other guests who didn't buy it.
"Is this the end? Boss, are you kidding me?"
"Wow, isn't it, boss? I've been waiting here for so long, and you're telling me this?"
"Don't think that if you are handsome, I won't dare to beat you, hurry up, give me the xiaolongbao. ”
"If I can't eat this xiaolongbao today, I won't leave. ”
“……”
With Lin Hao's news going out, the customers in the store who hadn't bought xiaolongbao exploded on the spot.
In the face of their various 'threats' and 'tricks', Lin Hao had no choice but to say with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, it's really sold out today, if you want to eat, please be early tomorrow." ”
However.
Lin Hao's answer did not satisfy everyone, and someone asked unwillingly: "What about the afternoon, won't you do it in the afternoon?"
"Rest in the afternoon. ”
Lin Hao explained with a smile.
The ingredients I bought today have been almost used, and making xiaolongbao is too tiring, if he does this all day, Lin Hao is afraid that his body will soon be unable to bear it.
I'm tired enough in the morning, so it's natural to have a good rest in the afternoon.
"Rest, wow, boss, are you sorry?"
"Boss, do you have enough kitchen knives here, I want to send you some. ”
"And the blade, boss, do you want the blade?"
“……”。
Originally, everyone's hearts were very depressed, and when Lin Hao said the phrase "rest in the afternoon" with a smile on his face, everyone present suddenly had an urge to go berserk.
Would you believe it or not?
