Chapter Seventy-Four: Jealousy
After learning that Zhang Fan had five minutes to arrive at the battlefield, the diners in the Splendid Food City lined up in an orderly manner.
As the Food Newspaper explains, this food shop is the only one of all the stores on Nantang Street that offers a limited supply, selling only 30 servings of egg fried rice a day, and each egg fried rice costs 88 yuan.
No store that sells egg fried rice will set the price so high, and no store will supply it in limited quantities a day, and all the "food newspapers" will instantly attract people's attention as soon as they are published.
Everyone's first reaction was that it was a crazy store.
It's just selling egg fried rice, and it actually sells for 88 yuan a serving?!
This is no longer as simple as "expensive", but robbing the bank!
Isn't it just egg fried rice?
Who wouldn't do it?
As for going all the way here and spending so much money to eat a serving?
However, when people think about it, things feel wrong again.
The person who opened the store is not a fool, and will never do a loss-making business, not only does the price set so high, but also supplies it in limited quantities every day, which shows that people have real skills.
Besides, the editor-in-chief in charge of "Food Newspaper" is the famous gourmand Huang Zheng, even he has tried it himself, and he thinks it is delicious, so it was published in "Food Newspaper", so it shouldn't be too unpalatable, right?
So, finally, someone with this mentality went to the Splendid Food City to line up.
In China, people are the most fond of following the trend, one to ten, ten to hundred, and finally more people rushed to hear the wind and lined up in a long line.
Now, they are standing in the store in an orderly manner, just waiting for Zhang Fan's arrival.
Such a lively scene naturally attracted the attention of the loft in the sky opposite.
As a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Sky Loft naturally has its strength. Every day, Liu Hai has to receive hundreds of guests for dinner, although it has only been open for a few days, but judging from the thriving performance, the future achievements of this store will be even more ambitious.
But today, Liu Hai saw a strange scene - the Splendid Food City opposite, the flow of people is even more popular than his own Michelin restaurant!
How so?
Liu Hai stood up from the seat with a rub, through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, it can be clearly seen, opposite the door of the splendid food city, there is a long queue, carefully counted, the number of queues at the door, there are actually more than a dozen people, the long Nantang Street, the middle is like being cut by the waist, it looks extremely spectacular.
Liu Hai felt a sense of crisis, what time is it, so many people come to eat egg fried rice, and they will have it in the future?
"Wang Mei, Wang Mei, come out quickly!" he quickly ran to the office next door, and walked in directly without knocking on the door.
The office is neat and tidy, with only a sofa, a desk, and a computer. Wang Mei was dressed in a pure white professional suit, sitting on a chair, holding a Parker pen in his hand, as if recording something.
Seeing Liu Hai coming in in a panic, Wang Mei frowned slightly, stopped the record at hand, glanced at Liu Hai, and said, "Boss Liu, don't you know that when you enter my office, you have to knock on the door first? This is the most basic courtesy." ”
"Sorry, things were rushed. Liu Hai hurriedly apologized, and after apologizing, an unhappy mood immediately grew in his heart.
You are Lao Tzu spent a lot of money to provide it, and it is natural to do things for Lao Tzu, but you are still putting up a shelf, who is the boss?
However, Liu Hai did not vent this unhappy emotion, but went straight to the point: "Look at the shop that sells egg fried rice next door, it's only this point, why are there so many people, if it continues like this, the sales of the opposite side in one day will definitely far exceed us." ”
"Oh. ”
Hearing this, Wang Mei nodded, and then continued to work with his head down as if he had not reacted.
"Is this the end?" bangs, his eyes twitched fiercely, and it was hard to understand why Wang Mei reacted this way when such a big thing happened.
So, Liu Hai said even more exaggeratedly: "Aren't you nervous? If the opposite side continues to develop like this, the title of the first store in the Southern Tang Dynasty will be snatched away by the opposite side - we are a Michelin restaurant, a Michelin restaurant, it is no better than an ordinary store, how embarrassing it is to say!"
After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "We only have a few guests now, and there are already forty or fifty people on the other side...... It's weird, yesterday I saw that the front of their store was still deserted, why are there so many people today?"
Wang Mei stopped what he was doing, stood up and poured a cup of boiled water to moisten his throat, and after drinking, he said unhurriedly: "The development trend of the opposite side, in my expectation, I already knew that the opposite side would be hot." ”
"What? in your expectation?" Hearing this, Liu Hai's complexion changed drastically, and then, he looked at Wang Mei angrily and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Wang Mei glanced at his bangs and said, "Is it useful to tell you?"
“……”
Bangs were choked, and Wang Mei was speechless when he said, "Tell you if it's useful".
yes, did it work to tell him?
People are strong in genuine craftsmanship, not other crooked ways, even if they tell Liu Hai, he can't stop it.
Wang Mei continued: "That Mr. Zhang's egg fried rice was made for his daughter, and it must have taken a lot of thought, and maybe even added his unique recipe. Otherwise, why did he set the price at 88 yuan a serving, and each person could only eat one serving a day, and even appeared on the front page banner of this week's "Food Newspaper"?"
"What? The big banner on the front page of "Food Newspapers"?" Listening to Wang Mei's words, Liu Hai's face changed again, as if he couldn't believe that it was not himself but someone else who appeared on the front page of "Food Newspapers".
"Well, see for yourself. Wang Mei casually handed over a magazine.
Liu Hai took a look, turned the first page, his face turned blue, and as soon as his fingers were forced, he crumpled the magazine: "Why is it their store that goes to the newspaper, shouldn't it be our store? It's just a broken egg fried rice, how can so many people rush to eat it." ”
Wang Mei's face was flat, his eyelids sank, he glanced at his bangs deeply, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Zhang is right, as a boss, you should know how to absorb knowledge and learn endlessly." ”
"Okay!" Liu Hai's face changed again and again, and he looked at Wang Mei and said, "Come with me." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Next door. Liu Hai said in a cold tone: "I want to see how delicious the egg fried rice in the magazine is!"
"Well, I'd like to try it out and find some inspiration. Wang Mei put down the pen in his hand, and then sandwiched the dense paper into a notebook, which was a colorful table, recording the combination of various food ingredients.
She glanced at the notebook as softly as her own child, and then carefully put it in her pocket.
