Chapter 168: Let's start by increasing the meal supplement
"Miss Nakano." Taiji Okuno knocked on the door of the interrogation room cubicle and said politely to Eri Nakano, the girl with gold wire glasses, "And everyone, do you want to have dinner first?" ”
Eri Nakano withdrew his gaze from the one-way mirror, the burglary suspect in the interrogation room was stubbornly refusing to confess to his accomplices, and it seemed that he would not be able to get off work for a while, so he nodded and said, "Then eat first, and then boil this guy." ”
The work of the criminal police is not easy to do, there is no white or black, and it is common for her to not be able to go home for several days in a row, let alone eat here, and she is basically not used to the life of being at home now - the police station is always filled with a strange smell of stinky feet, sour sweat, overnight instant noodles, and rotten food, which is what they did.
Soon, a disposable bento box with a simple and atmospheric shape was delivered to her, and she didn't care, she opened it casually and took a look, and found that the dishes were very novel, and they were different from those sold in ordinary convenience stores.
A piece of confit duck, half a braised egg, half a piece of braised tofu, a stewed potato, and a fried green vegetable are surrounded by rice, all of which are not much, but the color looks very beautiful, inexplicably delicate, and slightly exudes heat.
It doesn't seem bad, stronger than yesterday's, at least it looks a little stronger.
Eri Nakano broke open the bamboo chopsticks and tasted the rice slightly, and his glasses lit up instantly. The criminal police are all sloppy ghosts and poor ghosts, but she is knowledgeable, just by the taste of this rice, you can be sure that this is definitely an old store with a heritage, ordinary shops will never cook this pure rice fragrance, and the rice used is definitely not ordinary, it should be specially selected relics.
Shouldn't this bento be cheap, should you improve your food today?
She first tasted a few bites of rice, warmed her stomach, and felt that her stomach was a little more comfortable, and then turned to the side dishes, and she had a little more sense of expectation in her heart.
She is not a gourmet, and she can't tell how good the taste is, but whether it is delicious or not, anyone with a tongue can tell it, and she thinks that this ordinary stir-fried vegetable is unexpectedly delicious.
She ate the fried greens in two or three bites with pure rice, which was a bit of a pity that the portion was too small, even if this was the normal portion of a bento side dish, she still felt a little little.
It is indeed an old shop, and it is a bit powerful to see the kung fu on the side dishes.
She thought to herself, and went to poke the ordinary stewed potatoes again, and found that the potatoes were unexpectedly soft, and there was a feeling of mashed potatoes under the poke, and then she used chopsticks to pick and taste, and found that the potatoes were moderately salty, soft and delicious, and they were obviously simple stewed potatoes, which were very fragrant and tasteful.
She couldn't taste why it was so fragrant, but her tongue told her that this didn't seem to be an ordinary potato stew, and it was delicious when eaten alone, just a bowl.
She became more interested, and turned to braised eggs and braised tofu, and found that the appearance of this half braised egg and braised tofu was shiny, and the tofu was full of juice.
She didn't like to eat too greasy dishes, but for the sake of the two dishes just now, she still sandwiched them up and tasted them, and found that the taste was not as greasy as she imagined, the spice flavor was not heavy, and the taste of the egg white and tofu itself was not suppressed, but the overall salty and slightly spicy, and there was a hint of meat fragrance, and it was inexplicably a little fresh, and the taste was very impactful.
Especially the tofu, the juice splashes in the mouth when you bite it, and the combination of salty, fresh and spicy is a bit explosive.
It's definitely an old shop, it's not an old store, even if she lives for so many years in vain, it's impossible to make such a good bento.
She pressed the tofu on the rice, mixed half an egg yolk with juice into the rice, picked up the rice and ate two more bites, and was impressed by the braised tofu and braised eggs.
The amount of rice is also a little less, could it be that the bento box looks big, but the actual amount is not much?
She turned her gaze to the confit duck, which looked like the main dish of this bento, and picked it up and took a bite to savor it.
It seems to be an improved version of the French confit duck leg, as soon as you enter it, you will feel that the outer layer is crispy, the duck meat is delicate, and the garlic and pepper aroma are strong, but under the careful taste, the duck fat that is forced to be sealed into the duck meat at high temperature in an instant, with the shell breaking and seeping out, it has a sweet taste, which can satisfy the natural desire of human beings for delicious oil, but it is very similar to a clever swordsman, and the aftertaste is long.
This is a stroke in the middle of the pot, not losing much to the serious confit duck legs, and it can even be said to have a unique flavor, which instantly improves the style.
At least as an ordinary person, she felt so.
She ate a box of bento before she knew it, it was delicious, but it was not the kind of delicious food that sat in the restaurant and treated the meal solemnly, it was more like a home-cooked meal made by a wonderful chef, warm and delicate, and there were surprises in the ordinary.
100% is a century-old store, it has been passed down for four generations, and it is impossible for ordinary stores to have this level!
After eating, Eri Nakano felt very comfortable, very relaxed, and felt more comfortable than going home to cook and eat by himself, and the mood was a little happy, but it was a little regrettable that there was no soup, otherwise in the end, he drank two sips of hot soup slowly, spit out a mouthful of turbidity, and maybe the exhaustion could be dissipated a little more.
Of course, it is the norm for takeaway not to be accompanied by soup, she regrets it, and she can't say anything, she can only drink a few sips of bottled water, and close the disposable bento box - there is no rice grain left, which is much stronger than yesterday.
She took a short break and enjoyed it for a while, but eating was a trivial matter to her, and even if it was comfortable, it couldn't be comfortable for too long, and she quickly put herself into work.
The second half of '91 is approaching, but the economy is not in the so-called "labor pains" as experts say, and there is no sign of improvement at present, but the crime rate is soaring, with an increase of 26.2% compared to the first half of last year.
Although most of them are petty thefts, stealing something from the supermarket and other small things, there are also many robberies, gang robberies, and even arson and homicide cases of revenge against society, so the pressure on the police station at this stage is really great, and it is not possible to be busy.
She was busy until noon the next day, and she squinted for a while at night, and ate a sandwich hastily for breakfast, and her stomach was a little uncomfortable at noon, but she remembered last night's lunch, and waited for her subordinates to call her to eat, but the meal was delivered, and she opened it to see that it was curry pork chop rice......
When I look at the color, I don't want to eat it.
She should actually be regarded as a white bone spirit, she is a professional woman, she generally doesn't pick and choose what she eats, and her subordinates can swallow it, so she can swallow it just as well, and she doesn't even want to engage in special treatment, but today she really couldn't help it, and asked Taiji Okuno: "Was last night's bento very expensive?" ”
Yesterday's takeaway bento must be produced by a century-old store, if the price is too high, yesterday was just to improve the food, then she can't help it, after all, the police station is too poor, the meal supplement is too low, and it is not suitable to post too much money for overtime meals, and she can't just take care of herself, so she can only ask like this.
"Last night's?" Taiji Okuno is a low-level newcomer in the search section, and he is currently in charge of ordering bento, and after thinking about it, he said, "It seems to be a bit expensive, but it costs 585 yen a piece." ”
"585 yen?" Which century-old store is doing great discounts?
Eri Nakano was stunned, but he didn't expect the price to be much more expensive than in a convenience store. The bento box in the convenience store generally depends on the grade and quantity, and the price will be between 250 yen and 550 yen, and last night it was a little more expensive, but the quality is much higher, so it is completely acceptable to spend a few dozen yen more each time.
She immediately asked, "Which store is this, and why didn't you order it from there today?" ”
"I didn't order it yesterday, it was Miss Asai who came to sell it, and she went to get it for us, it seems to be a new store at Hazukicho Station." Taiji Okuno understood a little and asked carefully, "I went to ask her just now, and she said that the store has just started its soft opening, and it will not be available for lunch takeout in a few days, so I will order it from the old place at noon, and will it be ...... later?"
"I'll book from there in the future, and you can go to Miss Asai and ask if there are any discounts for long-term bookings...... Well, let's ask if you can give away hot soup. ”
Eri Nakano didn't hesitate, now that he's so busy, of course he has to eat better, go back to his boss to protest, and allocate more funds, so let's start by increasing the meal supplement.
…………
"Sister Asai paged me, saying that she would order takeout tonight, and she would come over on time at half past six to get it, and this time she asked for fifty-three copies!" As soon as Kiyomi Ruri got out of school, she came to Takeshi Nanahara and Yoshino Naokawa excitedly to report the good news, "She also said that someone wants to order for a long time and wants to discuss the discount with you." Well, she said that she could only give a discount to the life safety class, and just send some soup for anything else. ”
Nanahara Takemasa took Naokawa Yoshino for a trial operation, let her learn by doing, of course, to help her pull some business, but there is no need to find a big boss like Eri Nakano for this trivial matter of ordering a bento, and Eri Nakano can only manage three groups of people, and he doesn't have time to help him pull business around, so he found Sora Asai and asked Sora Asai to help him sell around in the police station, and strive to sell it to each other.
Of course, quality is the foundation, if the food is not delicious, it will not last long to rely on face to pull business, or rely on strength to speak, which can only be used to start.
Naokawa Yoshino was very surprised: "Really? ”
At present, it seems that the customer satisfaction is good, and she is willing to continue eating, and even willing to order for a long time, so she is relieved.
She is also under a lot of pressure now, for fear that she will live up to Takeshi Nanahara's teachings and mess up her business.
Kiyomi Ruri was happy for her: "Of course, Senior Sister Naokawa, you can discuss it at that time, and will you prepare enough food and food today?" ”
Naokawa Yoshino hurriedly said: "It's enough, I'll make sure it's ready for her at the right time, and I'll make sure that it's still hot when she takes it back, and it's easy to talk about the discount, as long as Nanahara-kun agrees, I will agree." ”
"I'll help you then." Kiyomi Ruri feels that the business is on the right track, and the mood is too good, and she is still excited.
"You do your homework first!" Nanahara Takemasa and Naokawa Aoi were playing chess, and poured cold water on her with a smile, "Take care of yourself first, and then do good deeds, turn around and pull your hips, be careful that I take back the prize." ”
Cut, a dog's head sticker, as if who is rare.
Kiyomi Ruri was in a good mood, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he gave him a blank look, and he didn't quarrel with him, so he went to the side to set up a small table to write his homework, and he didn't need to ask Takeshi Nanahara if there was a place, Naokawa Yoshino's grades were actually quite good, and it was more than enough to tutor her to be sixth from the bottom in her class.
Nanahara Takeshi ignored them, and continued to play chess with Naokawa Aoi, and his energy was quite concentrated - Naokawa Aoi's talent was even better than he imagined, and now he was starting to struggle with the third son, but he could win for a while, and if he won, let Naokawa Aoi press a handprint on the paper that said "Ah, I lost to Nanahara Onisan again", ready to keep it as a collector's item.
Well, if Aoi Naokawa gets the title of female stream and eternal title in the future, or even breaks the ceiling in ten years, and rises to the fourth dan as a woman to fight with professional chess players, and then meets again, he is going to take out this piece of paper to show her, and her expression must be very interesting to think about.
And it's just as interesting to think about what she's willing to pay to redeem the piece of paper then.
Aoi Naokawa is a little stupid bird, completely ignorant of people's sinister hearts, seeing him smile happily, but also looking up at his little face to show a silly smile, happy with him.
Soon it was time for dinner, and the number of people who got off work began to increase, and Kiyomi Ruri also wrote her homework, and went back to make up for it in the evening, and Naogawa Yoshino started business - if the guests wanted to eat here, they would set up a table, put it in a bento box if they wanted to take it away, and don't mind using the bag to deliver soup.
Their little broken food truck is not famous, and there were only a dozen people who came to open yesterday, but today it seems that someone recommended their little broken car, and more people came, selling more than a dozen copies before six o'clock, and four or five people in overalls asked for wine, so they stayed here to eat and drink.
Naokawa Yoshino recognized several customers who had come yesterday in a row, and finally had repeat customers, and he was really happy, and after receiving the money and giving out the lunch, he peeked at Takeshi Nanahara behind him, and saw that he was smiling and holding his sister's small hand to press his handprint on the paper, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
Business is really getting better, it's getting better day by day, all because of him.
