Chapter Twenty-Five: A Different Recipe
The shopkeeper was surprised in his eyes, "A different recipe?" Guest, this is our ancestral recipe, and everyone else has praised it. ”
Li Qiuchi played with the white-glazed porcelain bowl in his hand, with a smile in his eyes, "What if I said that I can make your sweet water more popular and revive your dessert shop?" ”
"You're alone?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Qiuchi's childish face suspiciously.
Li Qiuchi hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "I'm alone." ”
The shopkeeper saw that she was wearing a brocade dress and a jade hand, and knew which young man had secretly run out, and suddenly she smiled bitterly, "Don't laugh." ”
Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows, and his voice was straightforward, "Is there a kitchen?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Yes." Her gaze subconsciously looked in the direction of the kitchen.
She curled her lips, slowly got up, and walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen sounded the sound of chopping vegetables, and the shopkeeper was busy looking at the door, and saw that the young man who seemed to have ten fingers not touching the spring water was very skillful in making the recipe, like a cloud and flowing water in the kitchen, just like a beautiful picture scroll in the kitchen, quiet and beautiful. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
"Alright." At some point, Li Qiuchi smiled and brought out two bowls of sweet water from outside the kitchen.
The shopkeeper walked over to the table and looked at it, his face surprised, "This is ...... White fungus and wolfberry, and another bowl of what seems to be rock sugar and pear? ”
Li Qiuchi smiled with his eyebrows and eyes crooked like a crescent moon, "You're right, let's try it." ”
The shopkeeper picked up the spoon with a suspicious attitude, took a sip in the bowl of white fungus wolfberry soup, and her eyes lit up suddenly, and she was busy drinking the bowl of rock sugar and pear. After a while, the two bowls were already in her stomach, but she was still unsatisfied.
Seeing Li Qiuchi smiling happily next to her, she came back to her senses, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Good soup, sweet but not greasy, there is a feeling of cold and hot." In Xia Xie Niang, I don't know what to call the son? ”
Li Qiuchi bowed slightly, "The surname is Li." ”
Xie Niang didn't look down on him anymore, but her tone was curious, "Li Gongzi, how did you come up with such a method?" ”
Li Qiuchi smiled, and then he gushed out, "Nowadays, the country is rich, the people live and work in peace and contentment, food has naturally become an important industry, and the shops and restaurants next to it also have a lot of food. If you just use your sugar water, many people will make it themselves, so why bother here? ”
When Xie Niang heard this, she had an epiphany, and couldn't help but bow her head in shame.
She paused and continued: "Of course, quenching thirst with sugar water is naturally a good idea, but customers often don't want to drink a second bowl after quenching their thirst. These recipes of mine can clear away heat and relieve coolness, and people around me can't easily learn it, and even if they do, they can't make soup like this. In addition, this kind of soup is similar to a drink, and if a customer drinks a bowl, if they think it tastes good, they will definitely want to drink a second bowl. In the long run, a stable customer chain is formed. ”
Xie Niang listened on the side, and there were some words she didn't understand, so she nodded as if she didn't understand.
She picked up the white-glazed porcelain bowl on the table and smiled pleasantly, "This bowl is a good choice, simple and elegant." But the surrounding devices can't be like this, you must know that the environment of the store is like clothes, and the first thing people next to you see is the environment inside the store. But don't lose the customer's eyes because of this. ”
Xie Niang's face was slightly embarrassed, "Because the capital turnover is not available, and I can't do high-level ......."
"You don't have to be advanced," Li Qiuchi interrupted with a smile, "The store is too high-level, but it makes these people cramped, just normal." But don't be too shabby, either. ”
Xie Niang bowed her head and silently wrote it down in her heart.
"In addition, the promotion of the store is also very important."
Xie Niang was a little surprised when she heard this fresh word, "Publicity? ”
Li Qiuchi smiled, "Although the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, our store has just started after all, and the location of the store is too remote. She played with the delicate porcelain bowl in her hand, and smiled a little in her eyes.
After hearing this, Xie Niang felt that her heart was surging, as if something was about to come out of her mind, and she wanted to break out of the shackles, her voice trembled because of excitement, "Li Gongzi, what you said can really make my store popular?" ”
Li Qiuchi lowered his head and smiled noncommittally, "Naturally, you still need the right time, place and people." ”
Xie Niang naturally understood the hint in her words, and her tone instantly became respectful, "I wonder if Gongzi Li is willing to open this shop with me?" ”
Li Qiuchi smiled with Xie Niang, "I can't ask for it." ”
So, Li Qiuchi and Xie Niang hit it off, and they opened a sweet water shop.
"Take a look! Fresh rock sugar pear soup, white fungus wolfberry soup...... Folks passing by can taste it for free!"
Li Qiuchi shouted against the sun, and the stall in front of him was full of various styles of soup and water, and after a while, it attracted a lot of passers-by, who gathered around, looking at the stall in front of Li Qiuchi and discussing, and Li Qiuchi's stall was very lively for a while.
"Childe, how much does your soup cost?" An uncle's gaze lingered on the stall, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but ask in a rough voice.
Li Qiuchi played a pu fan and said with a smile: "Uncle, our store is newly opened, these sweet waters, no money, everyone can taste them for free!"
As soon as everyone heard that they didn't want money, they couldn't care about the coveted eyes, so they stepped forward to rob them, and after a while, the stall was empty. Some passers-by held porcelain bowls in their hands, and sighed comfortably after the soup was gurgling, looking unfinished. The pedestrians who didn't grab it were naturally anxious, and when they saw that they were drinking freely, they felt even more dry, and hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?" Those who asked replied: "It tastes excellent, it's really a dessert!" Hearing this, the eyes of the pedestrians became more and more burning.
A man who was the age of the crown couldn't help but give a thumbs up after drinking, "Wonderful, wonderful!" Only a clever person can make this soup, and Childe really deserves it!" Everyone agreed.
Li Qiuchi smiled lightly, "It's over." ”
This scene made people who had never drunk it start to be restless, "Childe, what is the name of that shop you opened?" Where?"
Li Qiuchi slowly played the pu fan and pointed to the distance, "Well, at the end of the west of the city, there is a sweet water shop, if you like it, you can just go." ”
The crowd dispersed, and a large crowd rushed to the sweetwater shop.
Li Qiuchi watched everyone huddle away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile.
Xie Niang was wiping the table in the store at this time, and she was shocked to see so many people coming in, you know, it was the first time that so many people came to her shop.
While she was anxiously busy, she admired Li Qiuchi in her heart.
Li Gongzi is really a capable person!
