Chapter 387: Jiang Wei's Humility Seeking Advice (I)
Seeing that the last delicacy was eaten by Bai Xiaobai, Gao Chao and Lan Weihao could only watch dryly, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time.
Bai Xiaobai completely ignored the 'hungry' eyes of the two, ate the last steamed dumpling, directly smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away.
Back in the glass kitchen, Bai Xiaobai brought out a special lotus leaf lean porridge and boiled supreme tea eggs.
It was a breakfast for three that he had prepared.
After the three of them had a hurried breakfast, the driver of the pickup truck loaded with equipment honked his horn twice at the door.
Bai Xiaobai and others loaded the equipment and ingredients to be used in the food festival into the small truck one by one.
Because of the launch of new products, the equipment required has increased, especially the glass cylinder for Aolong is relatively large, which is very troublesome to do.
So it took a little longer to move the equipment than it did yesterday.
After the efforts of the three of them, everything was finally done.
Bai Xiaobai pulled down the roller shutter in the store and closed it, and still sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck to escort him.
And Gao Chao and Lan Weihao still went to XX Square.
The warm sun is rising in early winter, and the warm sun shines on Bai Xiaobai's body warmly, which is very comfortable.
There are not too many worries in life, and he is all about struggling for food, Bai Xiaobai feels relaxed and very happy.
……
The second day of the festival falls on Sunday.
Some companies in Jianghai City have a rule to work on Saturdays, and on Sundays, basically all companies have a holiday.
The first day of the festival is crowded, so some food lovers will stagger the day and wait until the day after the festival.
When Bai Xiaobai took the car to the periphery of XX Square, many people had already come to the square one after another.
Look at the flow of people is no worse than yesterday.
Gao Chao and Lan Weihao were already waiting at the old place, and the three of them unloaded the equipment and ingredients of the small truck to the booth one by one.
Several booth owners on Bai Xiaobai's side have already arrived, and they are all preparing for the opening of the food festival.
Only Boss Jiang, who was making 'Jianghai Fish Balls' on the side, said with a smile, "Boss Bai, here, I see that you have a lot of equipment, do you want to help." ”
After speaking, Boss Jiang took the initiative to step forward and help Bai Xiaobai move things.
Because there are so many things, one more person must have more strength, and Bai Xiaobai has no reason to refuse.
Boss Jiang's full name is Jiang Wei, tall and thin, with slightly dark skin, and his short-cut hair is slightly messy because he is carefully taken care of every day.
Jiang Wei was dressed very plainly today, even a little abruptly.
He was a young man in his early twenties, but he was wearing a very old black coat.
This style of coat is generally worn by middle-aged people in their forties and fifties.
And the lower half of his body is wearing white-washed jeans. From the whitish level, the jeans were clearly worn for more than a year.
As far as his outfit is concerned, it is really very shabby, and it is estimated that it adds up to less than a hundred yuan.
Bai Xiaobai will not judge a person by his dress, let alone look down on Jiang Wei because of this.
It's just that judging from what he is wearing, Bai Xiaobai has an intuition that this person should live a relatively hard life.
In fact, it is just as Bai Xiaobai thought.
Jiang Wei's father died of illness since he was a child, and he was brought up by his mother's hard work.
Before the nine-year compulsory education was over, Jiang Wei left the countryside and went out to work because his family was poor and unemployed.
From the age of seventeen or eighteen to now, the young Jiang Wei has already done various jobs, hotel waiter, factory lathe worker...... I have also sent express mail and delivered takeaways.
Originally, life was comforting, but Jiang Wei didn't want to do nothing for the rest of his life, he had ambitions in life and wanted to start his own business and become a boss.
Since only the beginning of Chinese, it is impossible to do high-tech entrepreneurship, so Jiang Wei aimed his preferred entrepreneurial direction at the catering industry.
The threshold for this industry is relatively low, and the capital required to start is also within his affordability.
However, the restaurant industry seems easy to get started, but it is not easy to gain a foothold.
In this industry, without some technology, it basically can't be opened in less than two or three months.
Jiang Wei is no exception, he is not a professional chef, he is a halfway monk, and he has only taken a two-month crash course in food and snack training, which can be said to have no theoretical basis for gourmet cuisine.
Jiang Wei, who was hot-headed, borrowed money from relatives and friends and opened an X County snack bar in his hometown.
It's just that it didn't take long to close down due to poor management, and it also owed a debt.
Misfortune is not a one-way street, his mother was hospitalized for chemotherapy for breast cancer at this time.
The king of Hades wants you to die on the third watch, how can you keep people until the fifth watch?
After many rounds of chemotherapy and treatment, Jiang Wei's mother's life was not saved in the end, and the disease consumed Jiang Wei's savings from many years of part-time work.
Jiang Wei, who was destitute, dealt with his mother's funeral and did not give up his ideal of catering entrepreneurship.
With the savings that he could not have left, he sold the ancestral house of his hometown and the mountains and forests of heaven and earth, and he was bold and went into the rivers and seas alone.
It has only been less than two months since I came to Jianghai, and at the beginning of this month, I heard that the Jianghai Food Festival will be held on the 20th at the end of the month.
Although the organizer of this food festival claims to the outside world, all the participating businesses are well-known catering industry or famous restaurants in Jianghai Province.
Not really.
The organizers will still reserve a small number of booths and open them for sale to the outside world at a high price, the main purpose of course is to make money.
Jiang Wei took advantage of this opportunity and did everything possible to get a booth.
These booths are often sold at a higher price.
For example, Boss Jiang's booth is about the same location as Bai Xiaobai, and the area is almost the same, but the daily rent is nearly doubled.
Originally, Jiang Wei saw that the rent was expensive, and it was really difficult to decide, but in order to fight, he gritted his teeth and rented this booth.
He plans to make fish ball snacks at the food festival booth to make a little money.
But his idea was too naïve.
Everything was not as easy as he thought.
Although before the food festival, Jiang Wei had gone to the crash course for professional fish balls and snacks for half a month, but he did not master the essence.
Most of the food crash courses are made under the guise of 'food crash courses'.
They provide these gourmet snack trainings, all kinds of materials and practical operations, all of which will be provided in full.
However, because the time period is tight, the course is tight, and it is a large class teaching, it is impossible to provide professional guidance to students one-on-one, so how much you can learn depends on your own comprehension ability and acquired efforts.
Jiang Wei, who is half-hanging, has no concept of the fish ball snacks he has trained until now, his operation is very rusty, despite many efforts, the taste of the fish ball snacks he cooks can only be regarded as decent, not amazing.
Because the taste of fish balls is very ordinary, it is obviously not enough to see in the food festival where there are many delicious foods, and it is reasonable to be snubbed by customers.
On the first day of the opening of the food festival yesterday, the sales of Jiang Wei's fish ball snacks can only be described as 'miserable'.
The hard-earned money in one day is not worth the daily rent of the booth, and it has not been paid at all......
Jiang Wei had the idea of giving up because of this, maybe he was really not suitable for the catering industry.
Just when he lost himself and wanted to completely give up his catering business, he saw the booth next door, that is, the booth of Xiaobai Restaurant.
Obviously in the morning, it was as deserted as my booth, why did I suddenly counterattack at noon, and there were so many customers?
The miracle of the booth of Xiaobai Restaurant made Jiang Wei see hope.
He knew that the owner of this booth was definitely not an ordinary person, and a bowl of clear soup noodles for 300 yuan could make customers desperately buy.
This little brother must be a good cook, and he has top-notch cooking skills that can turn decay into magic.
Therefore, Jiang Wei decided to find an opportunity to humbly ask Bai Xiaobai for advice.
So, early this morning, Jiang Wei took the initiative to come over to talk and help Bai Xiaobai unload the cooking equipment and ingredients.
