Chapter 17 Opening Ceremony (I)

Early on Saturday morning, residents and businesses in Shigu Lane inadvertently discovered that the Feng Kee Snack City, which had been closed for two months, had changed its signboard and quietly opened for business. The only change on the face of the door is the addition of a black-on-background bronzing signboard of "Leisurely Farm Bun Shop".

It's really a strange thing, from ancient times to the present, the newly opened shop which is not firecrackers, gongs and drums, the store guests ushered in the lively and lively, what the big hand ordered to invite what lion dance, singing for most of the day, a festive and auspicious belief. How can there be such a low-key bun shop?

The residents talked a lot, and several shopkeepers around them also had a sarcastic look in their eyes, they were different from the residents, two days ago a young man who claimed to be the owner of the steamed bun shop visited them, and his speech and demeanor were quite a bit of the temperament of Chapter 17 Opening Daji (I), and he said some polite words from the neighbors, and asked them to take care of them.

Wu Kee Ramen Restaurant is next to the south of the steamed bun shop, which is also a two-story building, but it occupies more than twice the size, and the decoration of the façade is also antique and exquisite. At this time, in a glass sunroom of more than 20 square meters on the south side of the second floor of the ramen restaurant, a middle-aged man about 50 years old, with protruding cheekbones and triangular eyes, was holding a purple sand teapot, sitting on a rattan chair by the window, looking at the scene on the street through the glass with great interest.

Next to him sat a young man in white overalls, with a long face and a pointed chin combed with shiny hair, who was crossing Erlang's legs and toes, humming a small song and cutting his nails, with a frivolous face.

These two are none other than the ramen restaurant's boss Wu and his nephew Wu Mao, who have been running the shop for more than ten years. Wu Kee Ramen Restaurant is famous for its old soup, and according to legend, the pot of beef bone soup in the shop has not been extinguished for seven or eight years. The soup is mellow and delicious, and the noodles are full of gluten, which makes the ramen restaurant quite famous in this area, and business has been very good.

"Don't be idle here, go to the kitchen." Boss Wu looked at Wu Mao and couldn't help frowning, although this kid's skills are passable, he always looks like a hanger Langdang's seventeenth chapter opening (above), he is not in shape, I don't know when he will be able to stabilize?

"There is Lao Zhao in the kitchen, they are all old people, and there is no problem." Wu Mao said disappreciably, and he looked at the street again.

"Hey, uncle, what kind of bun shop did you say next to us, why didn't there be any movement at all when it opened? It's a strange thing. ”

"Hmph, I met their boss surnamed Li two days ago, he is a hairy boy, a novice, and he may not even understand the basic common sense of restaurants. I don't know where I got some money, but I dare to open a store. How can the business here be so easy to do, a few novices are tossing around, and it is estimated that they will fall faster than Lao Feng. Boss Wu said contemptuously.

"Yes, at first glance, it's a layman, and the opening of new stores is sneaky, so who knows what you sell in your store? No wonder there hasn't been a single guest until now. Also, what kind of buns can a few laymen make, maybe even the dough is dead. Hehe. Wu Mao also grinned and sneered.

*****************************

In the bun shop, Li Youran, Sun Xiaoying, Gu Weiwei, Aunt Qi, Uncle Qi, and Qi Song were all wearing brand new white overalls

Wearing a white kitchen hat, he is busy and making final preparations for the opening of the buns. In the kitchen, four stacks of large new cage drawers are emitting thick white steam, and the temperature is skyrocketing, making people feel like they are in summer. Luo Fatzi was also there, only wearing an apron and no work clothes, because there was nothing suitable for his body shape for the time being.

"Ranzi, this can't be done, there is not even a guest at the door now." The fat man was a little out of breath.

The reason why Li Youran didn't hold the opening ceremony is actually very simple, that is, he has no money, and he has spent all his money in the days when he was preparing for the bun shop. If this reason is known to the people around you, it is estimated that it will shatter your glasses.

"It's okay, it'll be soon." Li Youran didn't seem to be in a hurry, he wiped the frame containing the business license and health permit with a flannel cloth again, this is the proof that he has changed from a guerrilla to a regular army, and it is natural to have feelings.

"I know, this bun is delicious, but the wine is good and I'm afraid of deep alleys. I think we might as well set up a few drawers on the street and ask someone to try them for free. This is the most common business method. "The fat man knows that the store has prepared a large number of buns for the opening, which is not a small loss if he smashes it in his hand.

"There's no need, my buns don't need these commercial means now." Li Youran still said confidently.

"Well, I'm too lazy to tell you." The fat man turned around and went to the kitchen, since outsiders are not allowed to try it, then it is also a necessary procedure for his own people to try it first, and he is responsible for the quality of the buns.

*********************************

At about nine o'clock, there was a strange scene on the street of Shigu Lane, and many strangers came one after another from nowhere, riding

There are cars and walkers, which makes the merchants excited, and the shouts and shouts suddenly come and go. But unexpectedly, these people actually ignored the greetings of other shops, and gathered in front of the new bun shop, and consciously lined up in a long line. This stunned the residents and merchants of Shigu Lane, who originally wanted to see the bustle.

"Childcare, it must be a childcare please." On the second floor of Wu Kee Ramen Restaurant, Wu Mao was first surprised, and then made a contemptuous expression.

"It's not like to say that so many people are childcare, it's too big." Boss Wu's face became a little solemn.

It seems that the steamed buns in the bun shop have not yet been sold, and there are many people who know each other in the long queue of customers waiting in front of the door, and they are chatting one after another.

"Granny Zhang, why are you here so far?" A middle-aged woman greets an old woman with a cabbage in her hand.

"Second Aunt Li, there's no way, my little grandson has been making trouble for a few days, and he wants to eat this kind of bun. But recently, Aunt Qi and they haven't come out of the stall, and I can't buy it. Hmph, that little rabbit is rolling all over the ground and doesn't eat, and I said I won't take him to KFC. Alas, I'm spoiled. Granny Zhang said with a sad face.

"Yes, Granny Zhang, the child can't be left to him, otherwise he will have to suffer in the future." An old man in the back also chimed in.

"Uncle Chen, did you also buy it for your granddaughter?" Granny Zhang asked.

"I'm not as spoiled as you are, I bought it and ate it myself. Don't say it, Aunt Qi and their buns are just a few mouthfuls of Lao Bai Gan'er, that taste, tsk, like a fairy. Uncle Chen half-narrowed his eyes, looking intoxicated.

"Uncle Chen, Shanxi old vinegar is mixed with oil, chili pepper and garlic paste, and dipped in steamed buns to eat, then it is called a fragrant. I saw the announcement on the old poplar tree yesterday, and I realized that they had opened a store here, but fortunately, it was not too far to come by bus. No, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it, so I came here half an hour early, but I didn't expect there to be so many people. A stocky middle-aged man joined in.

"Taozi is for your old man to buy it, what a filial child." Granny Zhang praised, and the middle-aged man reached out and scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it today, the one who opens the store is not the same as the stall, I heard that the big steaming drawer has been changed, and the buns are enough." Aunt Li peddled inside information.

"Yes, that's a good idea. The notice said that today's opening is a big reward, and the buns are only two yuan a piece, so I want to buy more. ”

"I also want to buy more, it's a big deal to freeze it in the refrigerator when I go home, and I can eat it and then steam it."

"Aunt Qi, why don't you start yet? So many people are waiting. ”

"yes, let's get started."

Finally, amid the call of everyone, several steaming large cage drawers appeared at the door of the store, accompanied by Aunt Qi's familiar and pleasant rough voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your long wait. Don't worry, there are a lot of steamed buns made today, everyone can buy them. Don't squeeze, come one by one. ”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm, according to the requirements of the customers, the hot white and fat buns were packed into plastic bags in groups of ten or twenty, and there were even thirty or forty of them.

The customers at the back of the queue were immediately anxious when they saw this, what is going on? Appetite is too big, right, don't care if others live or die?

"Hey, hey! The conscious point in front, I am not afraid to eat and support when I buy so much. ”

"There are so many people in the back, that's pretty much it. Everyone talks about social morality. ”

"Aunt Qi, you have to take care of it, it's not easy for us to come all the way to cheer you on."

"Hey! The one who bought four bags, yes, that means you, what about you, what do you want to be a scalper? ”

Protests rang out, and there was a noticeable commotion in the ranks.

Due to an unexpected situation, Li Youran and his friends urgently negotiated and temporarily decided to change to a limited sale, with a maximum of ten per person, and no more sales.

Only then did the commotion subside.

At ten o'clock in the morning, you can see customers carrying plastic bags everywhere on the streets of Shigu Lane, many people eat while walking, today's steamed buns seem to taste better than before, the fluffy and soft dough is full of elasticity, melts in the mouth, and the combination of the fragrance of the face and the fragrance of the filling is on a higher level.

For a while, the strong smell of fresh fragrance permeated everywhere, which also attracted the residents of Shigu Lane.

As the saying goes, the power of example is endless. A long queue stretched south from the entrance of the steamed bun shop past Wu Ji Ramen Restaurant, Shunxin Tea House and Sichuan Restaurant, and then turned back and circled around a complete "S" shape, blocking almost half of the road. This strange sight made the jaws drop of the shop owners and men who were watching the bustle in the neighborhood. !!
