Chapter 19 How Crayfish Are Sold
When Lin Feng got the express delivery the next day, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and Boss Tang called several times, saying that everything was ready and that he only owed Dongfeng.
Lin Feng came to the kitchen, where several cooks were waiting, and the boxes for crayfish were piled up in the backyard, like a hill.
"How many are there?"
"4,000 catties!" Boss Tang said proudly, "I have carefully calculated, I can sell half of it just by ordering, and we will deliver the rest." ”
Lin Feng nodded, the foodies in the snack street have been in the drought for a long time, and they can be sold at least in the first three days.
Soon, the long-lost fragrance began to waft, and the foodies wandering on the snack street were in high spirits.
"Wow, it's really the scent of forest wind crayfish!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late!"
"What's in a hurry, today is an unlimited supply. ”
"You told us not to worry, what are you running?"
At the entrance of the Tang Lobster Restaurant, a large number of people soon gathered, and when they heard that there was really no limit to today, and they could also pack and take away, they immediately lined up in a not very long, but very wide line.
The Tiancheng Lobster Restaurant opposite, because it is free, also attracts a large number of diners.
As more and more people appeared, the streets that were not very wide were blocked, and the two sides inevitably launched a war of words across the streets.
If they want to eat for free, they say, "Don't eat for free, go and eat at a high price, are they stupid?"
The one who supported Lin Feng's crayfish immediately replied: "What do you know? The important thing is the taste, the taste, the taste!"
"It's not all lobster flavor, is it that Lin Feng crayfish is whale flavor?"
"It doesn't make sense with someone like you who has no taste, you can try it yourself. ”
At eleven o'clock, there was a commotion on the streets, and a large number of customers poured into the stores on both sides to open the curtain on the crayfish feast.
On the side of Tang's Lobster House, forty tables are full, and everyone has one in front of them. On the opposite side of Tiancheng, all eighty tables were filled, and each person had a basin.
The scents crisscrossed the streets, making the people who were still in line drool.
But the difference is that on the side of Tang's Lobster Restaurant, people who don't want to wait in line have decisively chosen to pack.
And Tiancheng Lobster Restaurant, because it is free, cannot be packed, and those who want to spend money can only wait outside the door. As the sun gets bigger and bigger, and the fragrance of Lin Feng crayfish is really tempting, some people decisively give up and switch to Lin Feng.
At this time, a beautiful girl hurried up, wearing a baseball cap, youthful and beautiful.
She is a well-known online anchor, with live broadcast ID Xiaoying, specializing in food reviews, and has more than 200,000 fans.
Unlike other food streamers, Xiaoying is notoriously harsh and often debunks fake food, and fans love to see her smile and criticize a dish to the fullest.
But if you get her approval and recommendation, all of them are truly delicious without exception.
"As you can see, there are two lobster restaurants that are packed with customers, and there are even people who have a lot of queues, so let's see what the situation is. ”
Saying that, she came to the Tiancheng Lobster House first.
"It turns out that this is the opening of a new store, and the crayfish and drinks are free for the first three days!
"But what does it taste like?"
She set up her phone, took a crayfish from a young man's plate, and ate it very skillfully.
"It's very ordinary," she quickly commented, "it's just a normal, traditional taste, and we'll go to the other side now." ”
She came to a table of guests who were eating their heads: "I want to ask, is the crayfish here also free?"
"How can it be free?" the man asked, a little dazed.
"Then how much is your portion of crayfish, it doesn't seem to be enough!"
"100 pieces. ”
"It's a bit expensive!" Xiaoying gave a close-up of the lobster pot, "Look, the pot here is much smaller than just now, it is estimated that one pot is at most two catties, and there is at least three catties over there just now." ”
"Why is it so expensive and so many people? Is it really so delicious that people don't care about their wallets?"
At this time, the guest said, "Of course, because it's delicious, I've eaten the second pot!"
Xiaoying interviewed several guests in a row, and all of them gave the highest praise without exception.
Fans have long started to swipe the screen, asking her to try what it tastes like.
"Okay, then I'll try it. ”
Just when she set up her mobile phone, the screen was full of words such as "criticize him!" and "damage him!", it seems that everyone is waiting to watch a good show!
Xiaoying borrowed one from someone and sniffed it first: "Well, in fact, I wanted to say it a long time ago, this fragrance is really unique, and the size of the crayfish is also very big!"
Then she started to try it, and after eating one, she didn't immediately make a comment, but asked someone else for another garlic flavor.
Fans are already in a hurry, and the phone screens are about to burst!
"What the hell is going on?"
"Isn't it delicious?"
"It's still so bad that I'm speechless, those people are actually childcare from the store?"
......
Xiaoying, who tasted the two flavors carefully, finally gave a thumbs up to the camera and made an exaggerated expression!
All fans swiped out at the same time: "No!"
Xiaoying, the anchor who has always been extremely strict, is no longer able to describe this delicacy in words, which has aroused everyone's doubts.
Xiao Ying glanced around, and suddenly found that there was a table stuffed under the wooden stairs leading to the second floor.
It's not that surprising, but there were two brown-haired foreigners sitting at that table!
Legend has it that foreigners don't eat these things, so she curiously walked over to interview: "Excuse me, where are you from?"
"My name is David," Davy introduced her very kindly, "I'm from France, this is my grandfather, he is the chef and owner of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and he came all the way from France. ”
The head chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant?
This time, Xiaoying and his fans were completely shocked and speechless for a long time.
However, it is not the end of the story, David continues: "I am the chef and owner of the romantic London Western restaurant, and these are my chefs. ”
"Oh my God, then you ...... at this time" As a food anchor, how could Xiaoying not know about romantic London, which is a well-known Michelin-starred restaurant in Rongcheng.
But at this time, its owner actually ate crayfish with the chef!
And willingly sit under a narrow staircase!
"That's right, Romantic London is closed today, and we're here to learn!" Davy said without disapproval, "but you also see a lot of people, if it weren't for me and Lin Feng being friends, I guess there would be a long queue." ”
He was ashamed to say it, but in fact, Lin Feng was not familiar with him at all, and he became friends in his mouth.
But the fans are completely convinced!
If you put this matter on a food website, it will definitely become a hot topic today.
"Now I finally understand," Xiao Ying finally said to the camera, "Why is the opposite side free, and the portion is full and can't compete with Lin Feng crayfish, delicious is the last word!"
............
Lin Feng sat on the second floor, looking at the hot scene downstairs through the window, silently calculating the sales volume.
Now it's just the first round, counting the packed, about 1,000 catties have been sold here.
He looked at the time, at half past eleven, the surrounding universities were about to end classes, and soon a new round of peaks would be ushered in.
"Brother Lin," Boss Tang was sweating with excitement, obviously underestimating the ability of foodies, "I don't think it's enough to sell!"
"The seasoning is no problem, you are bold!" For today's battle, Lin Feng bought 6 packets of seasoning yesterday, which is enough to cook 6 tons.
"Okay, I'll adjust another two thousand catties right away!"
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the first round of diners almost began to leave, and the college students who heard the news nearby rushed over like a tide, and instantly snatched up the several large barrels that had just been baked.
Manager Du on the opposite side has been watching in the office, and he has already figured out that a crayfish in Tang's Lobster House is 100 yuan, which is only two catties. And his side is free, and one is three catties.
But there were still so many people rushing to the other side, and they lined up willingly, despite the hot direct sun.
Why? Could it be that the crayfish on the other side has magic?
At this time, a waiter walked in with a packing box, which was a Lin Feng crayfish he had just grabbed.
Manager Du opened the lid, and the fragrance that had hooked him for a long time instantly filled the cramped office. He tried to eat one, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
This taste is really wonderful, it makes people want to stop, and he can't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart. No wonder so many people don't eat for free, and have to go there to spend money.
He made up his mind, pretended not to be impressed, and decided to open the package as well as to attract more customers.
He doesn't believe that no one in this world likes to take advantage of small advantages!
"But manager, our kitchen is too busy!"
"Rice bucket! How many people are too busy to do this?"
Manager Du was so angry when he heard this, the fierce battle had just begun, and he was saying that the firepower was insufficient, how could this battle be fought?
"No matter what method you use, you must give me enough supplies, or you will fuck me off!"
The waiter immediately went down to convey it, and there was an instant mourning in the kitchen.
The traditional method of making crayfish is a pot of five or six catties at a time. In order to cope with today's big scene, a total of 20 pots were set up in the kitchen and backyard, and the five chefs were busy with their feet on the ground.
It is necessary to increase the amount, and there is no humanity?
The miscellaneous people don't dare to complain, the chef is not so good-tempered, and he uses a big spoon to knock on the iron pot to vent the anger in his heart, and the whole kitchen is like a powder keg that will explode at any time.
"It's okay to increase the amount, but it doesn't guarantee the taste. ”
What else can the waiter say, if the taste is not good, it is not good, anyway, it doesn't cost money, what else do you want to eat?
............
The hour hand quickly turned to two o'clock at noon, and the three-wheeled passenger flow sold about 3,000 catties at the peak, and the battle was impressive.
But although it has long been past lunch time, Tang's Lobster Restaurant is still full, and many people have seen the news from the Internet and rushed to verify the deliciousness of Linfeng crayfish in person despite the heat.
At the same time, these news have also attracted many VIP commentators on food websites.
Like the famous everyone's review network, Lin Feng crayfish has as many as 1,000 reviews, all of which are five-star praise, which is almost impossible.
Some commentators think that most of them are trolls, so let's try it out and reveal the truth.
But when they tasted it, they all gave it a five-star review, and everyone wrote a long story like a chicken.
"If I could, I'd really like to give it ten stars!" one of the VIP commentators wrote in the review, "I can't describe this delicacy in words, I can only say that it is perfect! For a long time, I didn't want to eat anything else!"
This comment was quoted on the website of the Rongcheng Evening News and placed on the front page in a bold font. This made the name of Lin Feng crayfish known to more Rongcheng foodies.
Today, from noon until two o'clock in the morning, there are still people drinking happily, and it is in the ascendant.
The final statistics of the turnover, 460,000 yuan! Lin Fengguang is profit sharing is 130,000 yuan!
With the two boxes of masks sold today, his deposit is about to break through the million mark!
