Chapter 162: Business is Good
After a while, Dongmei was very satisfied with her business after moving to the farmer's market. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared to when I set up a stall to sell dumplings on the south side of the Brocade Building, the business is much better now, and I make more money than before.
It stands to reason that business is good, and Dongmei should be satisfied, but Dongmei is not satisfied with the immediate benefits.
Because she found that she still had room for improvement.
Dongmei found that the red-faced aunt who sold meat buns in the first place, and the white-faced aunt who sold xiaolongbao in the second house, basically started selling them in the morning and could sell them until noon.
Dongmei, on the other hand, had no business in the morning and stood there in a daze.
Because her stall sells dumplings, hemp food, knife-cut noodles, pulled noodles, oily noodles, etc., under normal circumstances, customers will only come to eat them at noon.
In the morning, customers generally do not eat dumplings and pasta.
Dongmei is a person who has high requirements for herself, and she feels that since she comes out to do business and sell food, she must exert her energy to the extreme, otherwise, she will not come out to do business.
Dongmei felt that instead of standing there and waiting in the morning, it was better to add something else to eat, so that she could be busy in the morning.
Dongmei is a workaholic, and she especially likes the feeling of continuous, continuous rotation, and only then does she feel fulfilled.
During this time, Dongmei observed in the farmers' market every day.
She found that throughout the farmer's market, only the business of selling meat sandwiches and xiaolongbao would continue from morning to noon, while the other businesses were basically intermittent and could not be sustained.
Dongmei looked at the meat sandwich bun and xiaolongbaozi, and said in her heart, since the business of the meat sandwich bun and xiaolongbao is so good, why don't you join in?
Dongmei carefully studied the meat sandwich buns and xiaolongbaozi.
She found that selling meat buns was more troublesome to make, and it required a lot of craftsmanship.
If you want to sell meat and steamed buns, you must first have a big iron bucket, and you must also master the temperature of burning in the iron bucket, if the fire is too small, then the cake with meat will not be cooked at all, if the fire is too big, then the cake will be burned or baked too hard, and affect the taste.
Even if you pass the level of baking cakes, the meat sandwiched in the cakes is marinated with more than ten years of old soup.
Dongmei grew up in the Guanzhong Plain, and the people there ate very little or no meat, so she had never braised meat, let alone used old soup to make delicious meat.
Dongmei thought about it for a long time and felt that she couldn't do this business by herself.
Turning her head, Dongmei began to study the xiaolongbao next door again.
Compared to pork sandwich buns, xiaolongbao is much simpler.
Moreover, Xiaolongbao and the dumplings sold by Dongmei have similarities.
Although one is dumplings and the other is steamed buns, both foods are wrapped with meat or vegetarian filling, but one is wrapped in dumpling wrappers, and the other is wrapped in bun wrappers.
Thinking of this, Dongmei immediately presented a picture of herself making buns in her mind.
The reason why the xiaolongbao next door is longer than the dumplings in the world and sells well is mainly because the steamed buns have many advantages.
For example, everyone often eats steamed buns for breakfast, but I have never heard of anyone eating dumplings for breakfast.
Buns can be taken away in plastic bags, and they can be eaten directly with your hands while walking, but dumplings cannot.
Steamed buns can provide great convenience for those workers who are in a hurry, but dumplings cannot.
The last item, the buns can be steamed in advance, put in the steamer and wait, if there are guests to eat, they can be brought out at any time, which greatly saves time, but if the dumplings can not be cooked in advance, they must be cooked at the moment, which greatly reduces the convenience of dumplings.
It's not better than not knowing, one to the next, Dongmei immediately decided to start the bun line immediately.
However, if you start the steamed bun industry by yourself, you still face two problems that cannot be solved.
The first question is, where do the steamers for steaming xiaolongbao come from?
At that time, you could only go to the physical store to find things slowly, which was very difficult, unlike now, sitting at home, logging in to Taobao, you can get it in a minute.
Steamed xiaolong buns have high requirements for steamers, and they must be professional steamers, which really stump Dongmei.
The second question, the white-faced aunt next door sells xiaolongbao before herself, if she suddenly inserts it herself, will it cause unnecessary disputes?
In addition, Dongmei doesn't know if there are any regulations in the farmers' market, whether they agree or not, and one stall copies the creativity of another.
Just when Dongmei was in a dilemma, Director Bai, who came to the farmers' market to inspect every day at noon, suddenly sat on Dongmei's stall.
Dongmei knew that Director Bai had a habit of not coming early or late, but he came over at noon every day when everyone was selling food.
Director Bai likes to take advantage of small things, and whenever he comes at this time, he can eat a free lunch, why not?
Dongmei saw Director Bai sitting in her stall, and hurriedly received Director Bai warmly and said, "Director Bai is here, you sit, what do you want to eat, just tell me." ”
As she spoke, Dongmei poured a glass of water for Director Bai first.
Obviously, compared to the surrounding vendors, Dongmei is much more enthusiastic.
And the reason why Dongmei is enthusiastic is also because of her unspeakable secrets.
If Dongmei is not enthusiastic, then Director Bai may turn his face, and then the opportunity he finally won for Sister-in-law Tan will be in vain.
Director Bai drank water and said, "Dongmei, tell me, what food is the best in your stall." ”
Dongmei recommended to Director Bai and said: "Of course, it's oily noodles, sprinkle the noodles with sliced green onions, ginger and garlic, and then pour the boiling oil on the noodles, don't mention how delicious they are." ”
Dongmei's description, listening to Director Bai's drooling, he said: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly bring me a bowl of oil and noodles, and give noodles to you, you must pour chili noodles, I love spicy seeds, and the spicier the better." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei hurriedly made oily noodles for Director Bai.
She knew that Director Bai was a small-bellied person, even if she offended the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, she couldn't offend Director Bai.
While cooking, Dongmei tried to ask Director Bai, "Director, our farmers' market is under your full control." ”
Director Bai patted the table and said, "That's for sure, it's not up to me Director Bai, who will take care of it." ”
Dongmei said: "That's good, then I want to ask Director Bai a question?"
Director Bai said, "Just ask." ”
Dongmei said: "In our farmers' market, is there a rule that one stall can't learn the food patterns of another stall?"
Director Bai shook his head and said: "What kind of bullshit rule is this, no, never, even if you start copying from the first one, copy one every day, know that after copying all the food sold, no one will say about you, and they haven't applied for a patent, why can't you learn?"
Hearing this, Dongmei's heart blossomed, and she happily said to Director Bai: "Director Bai, then I will be ready to sell xiaolongbao tomorrow, you have to support it." ”
Hearing that Dongmei was going to sell xiaolongbaozi, Director Bai said happily: "You can sell xiaolongbao, that's great, I love to eat xiaolongbao, but the white-faced aunt who sells xiaolongbaozi next door, she is a local villager, she doesn't pay attention to hygiene, she looks dirty, not to mention having the appetite to eat her xiaolongbao, you Dongmei is a family member of the worker, at least in terms of food hygiene, the control is better than her, I will often come to your stall in the future." ”
I only heard the oil splashing on the face, and there was a crisp sound, and the oil splashed and pulled the slivers and it was ready.
Dongmei brought it to Director Bai, and prepared the chopsticks and noodle soup, which can be described as thoughtful service.
Director Bai stirred a bowl of noodles, and after stirring evenly, he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth.
Because the freshly burned oil was too hot, Director Bai didn't pick up the noodles and ate them directly.
I saw that Director Bai was so hot that he rolled his eyes, and after he ate the noodles in pain, he spit his tongue out of his mouth, like a pug, and said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, your noodles are so delicious." ”
Dongmei's favorite thing to hear is that diners praise her for the delicious food she makes, which is not only an affirmation of her cooking skills, but also a recognition of her stall.
Dongmei said happily and casually: "As long as Director Bai likes to eat, then Director Bai is welcome to come and eat often." ”
After finishing speaking, Dongmei suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, because Director Bai never gave money to eat at this farmers' market.
He came over to eat once, twice is okay, if he comes to eat every day, then he can pay it back, a small business, where can he stand Director Bai so willful.
Hearing this, Director Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he was just about to tell Dongmei that he was going to apply for a monthly ticket here in Dongmei and come over to eat every day, but he didn't expect that Dongmei would take the initiative to invite herself to come over and eat noodles?
Of course, although my Director Bai loves to be cheap, but my Director Bai is very rebellious, you don't let me eat for free in front of your stall, I prefer to eat for free at your stall.
You let me eat for free at your stall, but I prefer to pay to eat at your stall.
So, Director Bai said: "Dongmei, since you have so warmly invited me to eat at your stall every day, then I am also gracious, and it is better to obey my fate than to be respectful." ”
When Dongmei heard Director Bai's words, she instantly felt as uncomfortable as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and said in her heart that she was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that Director Bai really took it seriously.
Since Director Bai is serious, then we have no choice, so let's give him free.
So, Dongmei said: "Then I welcome Director Bai to come to my place for dinner every day." ”
Director Bai listened to Dongmei's words, his heart was happy, and he finished eating a big bowl of noodles after a while.
After eating the noodles, Director Bai took out the money from his pocket and had to pay Dongmei for the noodles.
Dongmei saw that Director Bai was going to pay, and suddenly she was stunned, and said in her heart, this Director Bai, she never gives money for dinner, what's wrong with today, she suddenly wants to give money?
Could it be that Director Bai has an opinion about my stall and wants to clean up my Dongmei?
Otherwise, why does he eat other people's meals without giving money, but eating my Dongmei's food, but he has to give money?
Of course, Director Bai's money, I Dongmei must not accept it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Dongmei dragged Director Bai's money and said: "Director Bai, you can come to eat with me, it is your trust and support for me, how can I collect your money, in the future, you will come to my stall to eat every day, I will give you free every day." ”
Hearing this, Director Bai smiled and said: "In the past, when I went to other people's stalls to eat, although everyone welcomed me on the surface, I could see that there were 10,000 reluctances in their eyes, but I, Director Bai, was here in your Dongmei, but I really felt that I was sincerely received, and sincerely free, and my Director Bai is also a flesh-and-blood, affectionate and righteous person, since you don't take my money, then I will give you money." ”
As he spoke, Director Bai stuffed more than 100 yuan into Dongmei's hand.
Dongmei saw that she couldn't beat Director Bai, so she accepted Director Bai's 100 yuan.
She hurriedly found money for Director Bai.
Director Bai saw that Dongmei was looking for money for herself, and hurriedly said, "Dongmei, I'm going to apply for a monthly ticket with you, and come to you every day to eat noodles, is this 100 yuan enough?"
Hearing this, Dongmei was even more overjoyed, and said in her heart, what happened to Director Bai today, could it be that our conscience found out that we, the housewives who do business, not only have to teach each other husband and children, but also get up early and do business in the dark, does he know that our hard work is not easy?
Dongmei politely said to Director Bai: "Director Bai, a bowl of noodles costs three yuan, and it is only ninety yuan a month, you really give too much." ”
Director Bai, who is usually stingy, suddenly became very generous today, he waved his hand and said, "The ten yuan is your tip, you can accept it." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei felt even more incredible, and said in her heart, did the sun come out of the west?
Director Bai, who has never plucked a hair, actually plucked his hair from his body today, I can't imagine it.
After Director Bai left, the women who were selling food in the neighborhood all looked at Dongmei with wide eyes, not daring to imagine what had just happened.
Sister-in-law Tan rushed directly to Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, you don't want to mess up, you dare to accept Director Bai's money, isn't this plucking the feathers on the tiger's mouth?"
Dongmei smiled and said, "Director Bai is giving me the money, and I can't do anything if I don't accept it." ”
Sister-in-law Tan shook her head worriedly, and said worriedly for Dongmei: "Dongmei, your courage is also too big, I think you are in trouble." ”
Dongmei comforted Sister-in-law Tan and said: "It's okay, Sister-in-law Tan, don't admit that this matter is so true, maybe Director Bai suddenly found out in his conscience that he has changed from a heinous bad person to a kind and good person." ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan felt that Dongmei was too kind, too simple, too simple, and looked at a person too singlely.
She looked at Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, if in the future, Director Bai comes to find your stubble because of this incident, my sister-in-law Tan is not a vegetarian, so she still picks up the rolling pin, hits him down according to his head, knocks him to the ground, and avenges you." ”
didn't hear that Sister-in-law Tan was going to use violence again, Dongmei hurriedly grabbed Sister-in-law Tan and said, "Sister-in-law Tan, we have something to say in the future, don't dare to use violence again, otherwise you and I won't be able to stay in this farmers' market." ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan said disappreliably: "In this place, dragons and snakes are mixed, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and vulnerable groups like us can only fight violence with violence and be peaceful." ”
Dongmei listened to Sister-in-law Tan's words, and prayed silently in her heart, Sister-in-law Tan, I have already paid for your last violent behavior, and paid the price of hundreds of dollars, the reason why I didn't tell you is to let you do business happily, if you make the same mistake again, then I Dongmei really don't know what to do?
