Chapter 5 Sales
Early the next morning, after Li Ning packed up the ingredients, he placed them neatly at the door, and then put up a sign: "Authentic multigrain pancakes, six cents each!" ”
At the door of the restaurant, Li Ning had temporarily built a stove last night and set up the cooking pot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ning lit a fire, stuffed in a few hardwood blocks that were difficult to finish, kept the temperature in the pot all the time, and began to wait for customers to come to the door.
Ten minutes later.
Twenty minutes later.
Half an hour later.
An hour later.
……
Until noon, no one came to buy multigrain pancakes. Occasionally, someone would come by, glance at the price, and then turn away.
And the price on the price card set up by Li Ning has also dropped again and again, six yuan, five yuan, and four yuan......
Until, now free.
Li Ning couldn't help but feel disheartened for a while, and sat down on the steps with his head bowed in frustration.
"Huh? Free, bring me a multigrain pancake. ”
At this moment, an old man who looked like a beggar came to Li Ning's pancake stall and shouted at the words on the price card.
"Huh!" Li Ning heard that someone was coming to buy pancakes, and stood up suddenly.
"Finally someone is here!" Li Ning exclaimed in his heart, forcibly cheered up, and fried multigrain pancakes.
Li Ning stretched out the back of his hand to feel the temperature on the pan, and then wiped it in the pan with an oil brush dipped in clear oil.
This is done to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan and to facilitate the separation of the pancakes from the pan.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ning scooped out a spoonful of multigrain batter and spread it evenly in the pan with a spatula.
In the blink of an eye, the multigrain batter was heated and solidified. Li Ning quickly scraped it evenly with a shovel to make the thickness of the multigrain batter even.
Since the pan is very hot, the multigrain batter quickly forms and sets completely. Li Ning didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly folded the pancake in half along the third of the pancake, picked up a piece of semi-fat and lean pig's head meat and spread it in the pancake, put a few slices of lettuce, and then quickly rolled up the pancake, and a simple multigrain pancake was ready.
"Here, uncle, your pancakes." Li Ning wrapped the pancakes in paper and handed them over.
"Thank you, young man!" The old man took the pancake with a sigh of thanks, shrugged his nose and smelled it, and was immediately attracted by the fragrance.
The old man thanked Li Ning again and left with the pancakes in his hand.
"Well, it's not easy to do anything." Although it was given to the old man for free, Li Ning was still very happy, after all, the old man was his first customer.
With the old man gone, Li Ning's pancake stand was empty again.
……
On the other side, the old beggar returned to his lodgings with pancakes in his hand, in a damp cave.
There were also a dozen beggars living in the kiln, who were slightly younger than the old man, sitting on the ground and chatting.
"Uncle Zhang, you're back!" Seeing the old man come in, more than a dozen beggars greeted each other.
"Come on, come on, try the pancakes!" As he spoke, the old man took out the multigrain pancakes made by Li Ning from his arms, and suddenly, a fragrance emanated.
Hearing the old man's words, more than a dozen young beggars hurriedly gathered around.
A beggar in front of him broke off a pancake and tasted it, then asked in surprise, "Wow, it smells so good." Uncle Zhang, where did you buy it? ”
"It's just east of the city, there's a guy who does it for free." The old man said casually.
"What? Do it for free? Hearing this, someone immediately exclaimed.
"Where? Where is it? The previous beggar immediately asked.
The old man had no choice but to put away the pancakes, took a sharp breath, and then shouted loudly: "In the east of the city, there is a young man who makes pancakes for free!" ”
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, and then a dozen beggars disappeared into the cave and ran towards the east of the city.
In front of the restaurant, because there have been no customers to buy pancakes, Li Ning shrugged his head and fell asleep.
"Stepping on the ......" Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded.
Li Ning was suddenly awakened, stood up suddenly, and looked towards the source of the sound. I saw a dozen beggars rushing towards him, pointing to his stall and shouting, "There, there!" ”
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen beggars came to Li Ning's stall and shouted at Li Ning: "Brother, bring me a free pancake!" ”
"I'm here first, I'm here first!"
"You give me a side!"
……
Li Ning looked at the dozen beggars in front of the stall, and the whole person was instantly stunned.
After a long time, Li Ning came to his senses, wiped off the handwriting on the price card, and quickly wrote: "Authentic multigrain pancakes, two pennies each!" ”
Then Li Ning stomped his foot violently, pointed to the price card and shouted: "Who told you that it is free!" ”
"Okay, two pennies is two pennies!" One of them glanced at the price, and simply took out two pennies and threw them into the money basket.
When Li Ning saw the money, the whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he swept away his previous depression.
A minute later, a crispy and delicious multigrain pancake was ready, and Li Ning handed it over.
"Ding, congratulations to the shopkeeper Li Ning for winning 1 business point!" At the same time, a crisp prompt sound sounded in Li Ning's mind.
"Give me a copy, give me a copy!"
"I'll come first, you give me one side!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one!" Looking at the chaotic pile of people, Li Ning hurriedly shouted.
The other side of the street.
"Hey, Xianggong, why do you see so many people around over there?" A young and beautiful girl grabbed her husband's hand and asked suspiciously.
The girl's husband looked at it fixedly, and said with some hesitation: "It seems that she is selling multigrain pancakes, right?" ”
"Xianggong, I want to eat pancakes too!" The young girl shook her husband's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, buy it for you, buy it for you!"
……
The onlookers brought a lot of popularity, so more and more people came to buy multigrain pancakes, and Li Ning was very busy.
And the price on the price card set up by Li Ning is also rising again and again, two cents, four cents, and six cents......
Until now, it costs ten cents a piece.
The money in the money basket next to Li Ning has gradually thickened, and now it is half full, and the multigrain batter in the wooden barrel is getting less and less, from fifty centimeters to ten centimeters.
As the number of pancakes increased, Li Ning became more and more proficient. Originally, it took one minute to fry a multigrain pancake, but now Li Ning only needs thirty seconds to fry it.
Two hours later, Li Ning mechanically picked up the spoon again and scooped the batter from the wooden barrel, only to find that the batter in the wooden barrel had been used up.
Li Ning had no choice but to put down the spoon and shouted, "It's sold out, it's sold out, let's buy it again tomorrow!" ”
At this time, there were more than a dozen customers gathered in front of Li Ning's booth.
"We've been queuing for more than ten minutes!" As soon as Li Ning's words fell, someone suddenly shouted angrily.
"That's right, we've all been in line for so long!"
……
Listening to the shouts of the surrounding customers, Li Ning helplessly spread his hands and shouted innocently: "I'm really sorry for everyone, it's really sold out!" ”
As he spoke, Li Ning lifted the wooden bucket containing the batter and placed it in front of everyone.
The barrel was clean, except for a trace of the face hanging on either side of the barrel.
"Alas!" Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh, and left slowly.
Li Ning looked at the overflowing money basket excitedly, and exclaimed in his heart: "Wow, it's successful, it's successful!" ”
