Chapter 57: An Instant Hit
"What's selling over there, so many people queuing?"
"There! Sell spiced snails! I remember it was a young man selling them! But, strange! He doesn't usually buy so many people there!"
"Hey, you don't know that, do you? That guy doesn't just sell snails now, you two think so many people are queuing up to buy snails? It's crayfish! That guy is selling crayfish!"
"Really?"
"Shhh...... Some time ago, he sold spiced snails and robbed the big black fish of a lot of business, and now he sells crayfish, and so many people line up to buy them, and the big black fish can't hate him for hating a piece of poison?"
"Hehe, why don't you hate a piece of poison? Look at the big black fish's expression! Gritting his teeth, doesn't he want to chew that young man?"
"Haha, don't say it!
Originally, that young man was just selling some spiced snails, but the big black fish had been playing a price war with him for the past two days, trying to force the young man to make the business impossible to do, and the big black fish was lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!"
"What do you think the big black fish will do?
"Maybe!"
"He must want to, but he may not dare to do it, right? I heard that the management committee warned him last time!"
……
The above is a conversation between a family of three about 20 meters away from Zhou An's stall, a small stall.
This small stall sells fried rice, fried noodles, and cold noodles, and a middle-aged couple and their adult daughter run it together.
A family of three had just finished a few orders of business, and they were temporarily free, and while resting, they looked at Zhou An and chatted, just like beating a child on a rainy day, and they were idle anyway.
In front of Zhou An's stall, there was indeed a queue, and there were already seven or eight people in line, and the little girl in the spicy hot opposite was Qian Qian who blushed and was the first in line, with a pair of big sparkling eyes staring directly at the dozen big lobsters in the soup pot.
In the eyes of some people who don't know what's going on, Zhou An started selling crayfish for the first time here today, and so many people lined up to buy it, which is very unscientific!
From a common sense point of view, such doubts are logical.
However!
There are some principles that these people should really understand!
For example, why can a fisherman's nest attract many fish?
For example: Why are there so many widows at the door?
For example: why are dogs so interested in a piece of?
The last two are not very appropriate, cross out!
In fact, the above two examples, the words are not rough.
Why are there so many right and wrong in front of the widow's door? Because the widow is an ownerless flower! And it is a flower that is sure to be empty! What man does not understand the truth of taking advantage of the void?
As for why dogs are so interested in a piece of?
The aroma of a delicacy is very important! Color, aroma, shape and quality, the five criteria for judging a dish, fragrant, ranked second, you can imagine the allure of aroma to people.
A woman with a fragrance on her body, a man wants to eat it!
Fragrant dishes that not only men but also women will want to eat!
Zhou An originally cooked more than a dozen crayfish and invited Uncle Lu and the lame chubby Wang Hao from the fruit supermarket to eat them, but before he could cook them, he attracted a young couple who were already preparing to buy crayfish from the big black fish.
Then he attracted the little girl in the spicy hot on the opposite side, Sissi.
However, this is just the beginning!
The genes of foodies are deeply rooted in everyone's body, the difference is that some people activate this gene, and some people do not.
Zhou An used more than a dozen spices to break into powder and make lobster soup, those dozen spices are not in vain, they were okay when they were not heated, and the aroma was restrained, just like a big beauty wearing a flower cotton jacket and a melon skin hat, which was very inconspicuous.
Once heated, this soup is immediately like a big beauty who took off her flower cotton jacket and melon skin hat, and began to take the initiative to scratch her head, show off her style, and even pout her buttocks.
The temptation of the idiot immediately rises by 180 notches!
In addition, there is another reason why there are so many people queuing up in front of Zhou An's booth!
- That is, every crayfish is sold for a long time!
Compared with the spiced snails he sold before, it takes much longer to sell crayfish, because before each crayfish is sold, it has to be boiled in a pot, and after cooking, garlic and coriander leaves are added, and finally the soup is poured and packaged.
It's not like selling snails!
To sell snails, you only need to collect money, take a clam shell or pack a bag and hand it to the customer, at that time, because each snail was sold quickly, so it was difficult to form a queue in front of the stall.
But now it's different!
It takes at least two or three minutes to sell a lobster, right?
In these two or three minutes, if there is a second, or even a third or fourth person, to buy, can you not line up?
Zhou An and Zhou Jian were busy non-stop, Zhou An was busy weighing the crayfish, and then boiling in the pot, Zhou Jian was responsible for collecting the money, and by the way, he helped to scoop a large spoonful of garlic paste and sprinkle it on it after each crayfish came out of the pot, and then put a few coriander leaves on the garlic paste for decoration.
There is a lot of garlic in each crayfish, and the spoon for scooping the garlic is the size of an egg! But the effect of putting so much garlic is also obvious, and when the hot soup is poured over, the thick garlic aroma immediately spreads, making people have an appetite when they smell it.
The brothers are busy as dogs, but they are both in a great mood.
"Sissi!
"Thank you, big brother!"
Sissi held the freshly cooked crayfish in her two fleshy little hands, smiled and bent her eyes, and ran back happily.
A bespectacled monster stepped forward and said to Zhou An: "45 one, right? Give me one! One is really a catty?"
Zhou An: "Okay! Wait a minute! Yes, I can show you!"
After Zhou An weighed it, he handed the scale rod to Wei Shu Huang and motioned for him to look at it.
Strange Shu Huang glanced at it, and took out the money with a smile, "Okay! You young man can do business, burn it for me! Wait for it to go back to drink!"
As he spoke, he handed Zhou Jian a fifty sheet.
"Collect fifty for you, find you for five, please take it!"
Zhou Jian, who was in an excellent mood, was also unprecedentedly enthusiastic about his service, and even spoke with unprecedented politeness.
Catering, since ancient times, there has been a herd mentality, a passerby sees a bunch of people queuing up to buy a certain snack, will give birth to the psychology of buying a copy to taste.
That night, the limelight of Yinma County Food Street was all stolen by Zhou An, and the diners in line continued until the lobster and spiced snails here in Zhou An were all sold, and finally the two looked at the empty barrel behind Zhou An's stall speechlessly, with very sad expressions.
"Young man, we waited in line for a long time, and when you finished selling out to me, I'm very unhappy, you know?"
This is an uncle.
Behind this old man was a young woman, who also stretched her face and complained, "That's it! What kind of business are you doing here? The business is so good, you have prepared such a few goods, and now before half past eight, your things have been sold, why are you so lazy when you are young? Isn't it good to stock up on more goods and make more money? Do you have a grudge against money?"
However, compared to the injuries of these two diners, the big black fish behind the stall on the opposite side really hurt deep into the bone marrow, and a fat face that was already black and shiny had long been blackened to the bottom of the pot, and the eggs were about to explode.
