Chapter 352: Business is booming
Unlike the peasant households living in the suburbs, the people in Xuzhou can be regarded as a citizen class, and they are still relatively wealthy and knowledgeable. Rao is like this, they still can't help but be shocked by the generosity of the spicy fairy.
White-flour steamed buns are not a rare thing that is expensive, but no matter how cheap it is, it also costs money, the market price of a steamed bun is two yuan, and there are one hundred and eighty steamed buns in this basket in front of you, not to mention a can of two catties of chili sauce, and the cost of tasting alone is almost several hundred yuan.
Xuzhou Mansion is not as prosperous as Jiangnan and Beijing, and the turnover of smaller shops in Xuzhou is generally low, especially the small shops that sell food, and the net profit of a day can be one or two taels of silver, even if the business is relatively good.
Ordinary small bosses are reluctant to come up with a few hundred texts for customers to taste, and the spicy fairy can be so generous, maybe the owner behind it is really a wealthy businessman. When you think about it this way, the previous statements of the shopkeeper become much more credible.
People have the psychology of taking advantage of a small advantage, whether they buy chili sauce or not, passers-by want to eat a white flour steamed bun for nothing, and the heart of trying it for a while is ready to move, and they can't help but confirm it again: "Shopkeeper, are you sure that it is only a limited amount of steamed bread chili sauce?" What if I eat half a jar of chili sauce from you with a steamed bun? ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "If you can really eat so much, it's okay, anyway, we only provide a steamed bun and a jar of chili sauce, and you can't take it out until you finish eating." Of course, I still have to warn you that it's best not to dip too much at once, otherwise you will panic. ”
"Just now I said that we can eat as much as we want, and now let's not dip too much, stingy ......" Passers-by thought that the shopkeeper was reluctant, muttered a few words of complaint, and couldn't wait to take a steamed bun in his hand, drowned most of it in the jar, and covered it with chili sauce.
As soon as the steamed bun dipped in chili sauce is entered, the salty, fragrant and spicy variety of taste stimulation instantly explodes in the mouth, and the passers-by first brightened their eyes, and then they were quickly caught by the salty and spicy taste. Water! Water! There is no water! ”
The shopkeeper had expected this, and handed the water over at the right time, and the passers-by immediately poured it clean, and only then did he relieve himself a little.
Everyone looked at him nervously and asked expectantly, "How is it?" What does it taste like? Is it delicious? ”
After a while, passers-by were sweating from the spicy head, feeling that the whole person was transparent from head to toe, and said with surprise and joy: "It's delicious!" It's spicy and fragrant! It's good to eat! ”
Speaking of this, he recalled the taste, and his face wrinkled slightly: "It's just a little too salty and spicy, and the taste is very strong, and I almost didn't die." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, you dipped too much before, just the amount you dipped, not to mention one steamed bun, even three steamed buns still feel salty!" Our chili sauce is used to accompany meals, you can understand it as kimchi, you can eat it, you can eat it when you eat, it is absolutely impossible! ”
Everyone had already been hooked by the spicy aroma and drooled, curious and greedy, and picked up the steamed buns and dipped them in chili sauce to try them, and they praised again and again:
"Wow! It's really spicy enough! In terms of taste alone, the chili pepper is more domineering than the spicy taste of dogwood and wasabi, which is so spicy that it makes people's tongue headaches, but it is only limited to the mouth, and does not flush the nose. I think this chili pepper is not only delicious to make sauce, but also a good seasoning for cooking! ”
"You say it's salty, but it's not just salty; You say it's spicy, it's not just spicy; While the mouth is salty and spicy, the fragrance also penetrates people's noses, making people can't help but eat a little more, eat a little more, buy this chili sauce back, I'm afraid that our family's meals will become bigger! ”
"No wonder it's good to eat, I only dipped a little bit just now, and I ate a full steamed bun, and it still smells fragrant. There are only three people in my family, and I feel that it is no problem to buy a can of chili sauce and eat it for a month! In this way, eating 200 wen of sauce a month is still very cost-effective, not expensive! ”
Although their families are not wealthy, their living conditions are still better than those of most tenant farmers, and it is not a big expense to buy chili sauce for a few hundred wen a month.
Some people go out to buy things and go shopping alone, and eat chili sauce by themselves, but the wives and children at home have not eaten it yet, thinking that they should bring some back to try it anyway; There are also people who watched for a long time, and without spending any money, they had already eaten a steamed bun first, and they couldn't help it, so they paid for half a catty of chili sauce.

During the Spring Festival, there was a surge of people on the street, a group of customers here paid and left with chili sauce in their hearts, and a new group of passers-by came over there, curiously asking questions to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is very professional, smiling from beginning to end, and tirelessly explaining over and over again, attracting a steady stream of guests.
Soon, the basket of steamed buns for the tasting was finished, but there was still half a jar of chili sauce left. Perhaps out of curiosity, or because they want to join in the fun, or because they feel that this is not cheap, a large number of passers-by would rather spend money to buy two steamed buns at the breakfast shop next door, and also come to try this novel chili sauce.
For a while, not only was there a lot of noise in front of the Spicy Senben store, but even the business of the breakfast shop next door was better. The owner of the breakfast shop counted the money early in the morning and had cramps, and he had never seen so many people come to buy steamed buns since the store opened, and his eyes were smiling.
The business of the breakfast shop next door is good, and the business of Spicy Fairy is naturally better, from the opening of firecrackers in the early morning to the present, in an hour before and after, all the chili sauce in the store is sold out.
The shopkeeper himself didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly, so he hurriedly smiled at the customers crowded at the door of the store: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the small store is sold out of chili sauce today, we are closing, you can come back tomorrow." ”
But the guests didn't buy it, and said dissatisfied:
"What's the matter, I still have it before! I only bought half a catty of sauce, and when I went home, I gave my mother-in-law a taste, saying that I bought less, let me buy it again, but you didn't have to sell it, how could I go home and pay for it?! ”
"You still bought half a catty of sauce, and I haven't bought it at all! I tasted it myself, I have to buy some and give it to my wife and children to taste it too! ”
Someone slapped the table in front of the shopkeeper menacingly, and said with a horizontal eyebrow: "The sun has not fully risen before it closes, look at other houses, do you close so early?" With such a big store, I don't believe that you only have a little chili sauce in stock, you must have it in stock, right? ”
The shopkeeper sneered: "We have stock, but this ......"
The man interrupted him impatiently: "If you have stock, take it out quickly!" I don't care about this, that, ah, we are buying with money, not robbing, what are you afraid of! ”
Everyone agreed: "That's it, if you don't make money, isn't this a fool!" ”
"I've waited so long, you can't tell me to go home empty-handed, can you?"
"So much nonsense, hurry up and get the chili sauce out!"
Before the shopkeeper came to Spicy Fairy, he had also been a shopkeeper for many years, dealing with all kinds of customers and emergencies. But Rao is that no matter how experienced he is, he has never seen the current situation, so he can't make up his mind for a while, so he has to ask the owner.
