Two days later, in the evening, Zhou An was instructing Tian Lu to cook a working meal in the kitchen, and his cousin Xia Wenjing suddenly came to the kitchen in a hurry and shouted to him: "Xiao An! Oh no, Fumanlou sells crayfish tonight, and the stall has been set up outside the store, you go and have a look!"

Zhou An turned around and saw Xia Wenjing looking anxious.

Tian Lu, who was cooking a working meal, also changed his face slightly, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhou An squinted slightly, thought about it, and said to Tian Lu: "Cousin, you burn yours, I'll take a look!" Cousin, don't worry, I'll go and see!"

With that, Zhou An came out of the kitchen and walked to the door of the store.

Xia Wenjing followed behind him with an anxious face, Xiao Meng and Xiao Xia, who had already come to work in advance, looked at each other, looked at the backs of Zhou An and Xia Wenjing, and subconsciously silenced.

When Zhou An and Xia Wenjing left the store, the two girls dared to talk quietly.

Xiaoxia: "How can Fumanlou also sell crayfish? Doesn't Fumanlou have a main dish?"

Xiaomeng sighed lightly: "It must be that our store's business has been too good recently, and my eyes are red!"

Xiaoxia: "What a shame!"

Xiao Meng pouted, "For these businessmen, making money is the most important thing, how can face be as important as making money?"

"But that's Fumanlou!" Xiaoxia was still not angry.

Xiao Meng lowered her head and continued to wipe the table, and sighed: "I don't know how much business Fumanlou can steal from our store now, I still expect that the business in the store has been booming, and at the end of the month, the boss can give more bonuses!"

Xiaoxia: "Alas!"

……

Zhou An and Xia Wenjing came to the vicinity of Fumanlou and did not get too close.

Fumanlou is in the depths of the food street, where the rent is much cheaper because it is far away from the gate of the food street.

Zhou An walked all the way, and some of the vendors and shopkeepers on the side of the road greeted him, but more people looked at him with strange eyes.

Some of them are not good at hiding their emotions, or they don't want to hide their emotions at all, and the schadenfreude in their expressions is almost written directly on their faces.

Those who took the initiative to greet him, Zhou An responded with a smile one by one, and as for those who gloated, he didn't take a look at it at all.

Not to be envied is mediocrity!

Those who gloat, don't need to look at it, the business is definitely not as good as him, because of jealousy, so today I saw Fu Manlou robbing business with him, so I gloated.

With such a person, Zhou An was too lazy to take care of it, and he didn't even bother to care.

"Look, are they right at the door!"

There were still more than ten meters away from the gate of Fumanlou, and as soon as Zhou An stood still, Xia Wenjing pointed to the new stall over there and said to Zhou An, frowning, more worried than Zhou An himself.

In fact, she didn't use her fingers, Zhou An also saw it.

On the left side of the gate of Fumanlou, three or four meters away from the gate, there is indeed a new stall tonight, a stall of all stainless steel, there are two things on the stainless steel stall for sale, the same is the spiced snail kept warm by the induction cooker, the same is the crayfish, a white-clothed chef about thirty years old, standing behind the stall with a smile to entertain customers, and his hands are still busy frying a crayfish.

Next to the white-clothed chef, there is also a waiter in a fuchsia suit who is packing snails for customers and collecting money.

Just one glance, Zhou An sighed secretly: Fumanlou is really Fumanlou, it is different as soon as it is shot, the stalls are clean and tidy, it is comfortable to look at, and the fried crayfish and the people who are responsible for collecting money are also invited professional chefs and waiters.

However, unlike Xia Wenjing, who was anxious beside him, Zhou An only glanced at it twice before turning back, "Let's go! ”

The tone was light.

Xia Wenjing was surprised, and while following Zhou An, she asked in a puzzled and low voice: "Xiao An, just look at these two glances and leave?"

Zhou An chuckled, "Cousin, you can't see anything! Catering, the main thing to look at is taste and reputation! Find an opportunity, ask someone to go over and buy a copy back, I'll taste the taste of Fumanlou!"

Turning his eyes slightly, seeing that she was still frowning, Zhou An smiled and comforted, "Cousin, don't worry so much, Fumanlou's trick can rob us of a little business, and it's just a corner, it won't lead to our business being bleak and closing!

"Ahh

Xia Wenjing glanced at Zhou An sideways, she couldn't understand where Zhou An's confidence came from?

However, what she didn't know was that Zhou An was indeed not afraid.

Because although he only glanced at it twice just now, as soon as he saw that the chef on the side of Fumanlou was a freshly roasted crayfish on the spot, he was determined.

Two reasons!

One is that this method has also been tested many times in his previous life, and the final result is not as good as the current crayfish practice in his store. Freshly burned, it looks beautiful and has a strong aroma, but in terms of taste, how can it be boiled directly in soup?

Another reason...... It is the practice of burning and selling in Fumanlou, which cannot stabilize the taste of every crayfish sold. The taste of each serving is too affected by that chef's state.

Zhou An didn't believe that the chef who was about 30 years old could play steadily and cook every crayfish deliciously, it was too difficult!

And Zhou An's experience tells him that if a snack wants to sell well, if it can't stabilize the taste, it is extremely difficult to sell well.

……

Zhou An, who returned to the store, was still unhurried, doing what he had to do in an orderly manner, and when he ate the working meal with everyone, he didn't see his appetite affected at all, and he still took a big bite of rice and food.

On the contrary, the mood of other people in the store was affected a little, and when eating, they were generally more silent.

Zhou Anxin knew that even if he comforted them now, it would not have much effect, so he simply turned a blind eye.

He's really not nervous.

But if he really didn't feel at ease at all, it must be a lie.

It's just that he has confidence in the crayfish he makes, so he can be calm.

At the beginning, when he was going to sell crayfish in this food street and compete head-on with the big black fish, he thought that if the business was good in the future, he would definitely face new competitors.

Otherwise, if it was just for the crayfish that surpassed the big black fish, why would he spend a lot of money, complete with more than a dozen spices, and elaborate such a complex chili oil?

The current situation is like the ancient war, where he has already built the city wall, and the army is ready to meet the attack of the unknown enemy.

And this competition in Fumanlou is just an unknown enemy becoming known.

The enemy seems to be menacing, but his walls are strong, the soldiers are strong, and the other party has just launched a challenge, what reason does he have to be afraid now?
