Chapter 127: A Busy Snack Bar
As soon as the sky dawned, the couple who owned the snack bar rode their bicycles from home to the snack bar in the night.
The man lifted the roller shutter and walked into the store, starting to prepare for today's preparations.
In less than twenty minutes, the uncle who delivered the pork came in a van, and the man greeted him and carried a basket of pork to the store.
The uncle who delivered the pork complained, "Your purchase volume is getting smaller and smaller, and if you buy such a small amount, I will have to increase the unit price."
The man smiled and said, "Echizen-kun, be considerate, we have just opened the shop, and business will be better in the future."
"To put it mildly, opening a restaurant is not that simple." Uncle Pork lit a cigarette and smoked, "I don't think you're suitable for this at all, so you better find a way to go to work in the company."
The man was a little annoyed when he heard this, but it was not easy to attack, after all, it was also a fact that business was miserable now.
"Why, you're not convinced." The pork boss squinted at him, "Well, let's make a bet, if you have more than 100 guests today, I will give you a 20% discount on the pork in the next month, but if it doesn't exceed 100, I will increase the unit price of pork by 10% in the future." Makes sense, right?"
"A hundred?" The man frowned, now his snack bar can receive fifty customers a day, which is already a lot, more often only twenty or thirty people a day, which can be described as very miserable.
"If you can't receive a hundred guests, what kind of restaurant will you open?"
"Alright, just do as you say."
The men's purchases are too small, which makes pork sellers rarely dissatisfied, which is not what was said when the price was first discussed. So lately the pork dealer is going to raise the price, and the man knows that the bet is just an excuse for him.
Anyway, this guy is going to increase the price...... The man could only say yes.
The pork dealer smiled and drove away.
The man sighed, and when he returned to the store, his wife saw his sad expression and came to comfort him as soon as possible, "The child is his father, it's okay."
"Thank you." The man patted his wife on the back and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Put the fresh pork in a meat grinder and grind it, then stir until strong, and mix in the green onion juice, sea sausage puree, seasonings......
The woman walked in, "Daddy, I want to discuss something with you."
"We have a lot of repeat customers here, and the customers who have eaten here think it tastes good, but the location is so remote, so I want to change the store."
"Not long after I rented this place, I have already spent a lot of money on rent and decoration......
"It's better than keeping losing money." The woman said, gently stroking the man's back with her right hand, "Don't worry about money, I borrowed a sum of money from my mother......
The man didn't speak, but his head was lowered.
"Don't be embarrassed, honey." The woman said in a gentle voice, "Parents think about their children, just as we think a lot about Nobita."
"Got it, thank my mother-in-law for me." The man's voice was lowered.
The woman smiled, turned to leave the kitchen, and put on the fried dumpling hood again.
"Excuse me, but are you open now?" At this time, two female college students stood at the door of the store and asked the probe in the store.
"Sorry, we're not open yet." The woman bent down and said, "We're officially open at nine o'clock in the morning."
"Alright, let's come back later." The girl said.
The woman said she was embarrassed again, and quickly tore off a coupon and handed it to the two girls, for fear that they would not come for a while.
Less than ten minutes after the two girls left, two more people walked into the store, and the woman apologized to them again and explained the opening hours of the store.
More and more customers entered the hotel, but when they heard that it was not open, they left. The woman looked at the guests who left one by one in distress, and she was a little anxious, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to help the man deal with the ingredients. The man also quickened the movement of his hands, hoping to open as soon as possible.
You must know that there may not be so many guests throughout the day, and I don't know what happened today, so many people came, as if they were specially found.
"Excuse me, but is this the restaurant that appeared in "The Lonely Foodie"?" Another man walked into the store and asked the woman.
"Lonely gourmet......" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that not long ago, a group of people were filming a show in their store.
At that time, she didn't particularly care, and she didn't watch that episode in front of the TV in the future. After all, it was a late-night stall, and it was very hard to do catering, and I had to go to bed early, so how could I have time to stay up late and watch TV.
The woman looked at more and more guests coming to the door, and suddenly understood, could these people be ......
Seeing that the time was close to nine o'clock, the new guests did not leave and directly occupied their seats.
The man hurriedly finished processing the ingredients, and the woman began to go to the guests to order them one by one.
The most ordered is the combination of fried dumplings, spicy fried udon and lemon oolong tea. The shopkeeper and his wife remembered that the young man who was filming the show, when he came to the store for the first time, seemed to have ordered these things.
"It's delicious, it looks like Goro Inokashira didn't lie to us."
"I've been to all the shops that appeared in the first four episodes of 'Lonely Gourmet', and none of them were not delicious."
"Pack one and take it back to school."
More and more customers entered the store, and when they saw that there were no seats, they packed and took them away, and the man's kitchen was so busy that he didn't even have time to breathe.
"Quick, kid, call the fat man who sells pork and ask him to send another two hundred catties of pork." The man panted.
"Two hundred catties ......" The woman hesitated a little, can she sell so much? But when he turned his head and saw the piles of customers coming to the door, he no longer hesitated, and quickly ran out of the store to find a public phone booth.
After a while, the van delivering the pork drove up again, and the pork dealer was a little skeptical at first, but he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the scene of the snack bar.
"What the hell...... Why are so many people ......?"
"Please, help me get the pig in, please." The woman begged.
"No problem...... the pork dealer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sent the pork into the kitchen.
When the pork seller walked into the kitchen, the man was desperately wrapping fried dumplings, and when he saw the pork seller, he didn't even bother to look at him, but he said, "Don't forget the agreement between us!"
The pork seller looked at the customers in the shop and asked, "You must have paid for these people, right?"
"What is that talking about?"
The pork dealers all muttered, "I'll tell you what I say, and I'll give you a 20% discount this month." But you're going to keep buying from me in the future."
"Then it depends on your price."
"If you buy a large amount, your price will definitely be lower than others."
The pork seller looked at the customers again, scratched his head, and asked puzzledly, "But then again, your business has suddenly become so good?" That didn't seem like that the other day, right?"
"Who knows?" The man put the raw dumplings in the oil pan and fried them, and suddenly thought of something, turned his head and smiled at the pork seller, "Maybe the god passing by heard the sound of my prayer......
