Chapter 379: Opening Soon

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was September 1st.

After waiting for more than a week, before the propeller parts ordered by the water transportation company arrived, seeing that the cooked food workshop was about to open, Chen Fan could only go to the county to preside over the opening of the delicatessen.

In the guest house of Gufeng County Passenger Terminal, in a three-person room, Chen Fan woke up on time at 6 o'clock, turned over and sat up, looked out the window, there was a Dongfanghong ferry docked on the wharf, and some passengers were getting on and off the ship one after another.

The entire Yangtze River route is the Dongfanghong Ferry, which generally has four floors, and there is also a top deck, which is also a room, including the super chase shop at the bottom level, which is mainly used by long-distance passengers.

Most of these small ferries have only two floors, mainly running short lines or branch lines, and there are generally no beds on the ship, all of which are seats one by one, but unless they are uncomfortable standing, most passengers will run to the railing and lie on their stomachs, and will return to their positions when they are tired of standing.

People in many places on both sides of the Yangtze River want to take a big ferry out, and they have to take a small ferry to the big wharf to change trains, so there are many more such small ferries than large ferries.

Fortunately, although Gufeng County is not a big wharf, with the convenience of being close to the Yangtze River and the lack of berths at Yunhu Passenger Terminal, there will still be several large ships docking here.

This has also become the reason why the people of Gufeng County think that this is a big wharf.

This is despite the fact that this "Grand Pier" is only a few streets away.

At this time, all the passenger ships on the Yangtze River are Dongfanghong, and then use the number to distinguish which local ferry company it is, but unfortunately no one taught Chen Fan how to distinguish the number, Zhang Wenliang and the safety of the two did not understand, so he could only watch the excitement.

But there wasn't much time left for him to watch the excitement.

The security officer came in from outside with a basin and yawned and said, "I have to queue up to wash my face and brush my teeth, which is a waste of time." ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at him, "Who told you not to have a single room, there is a special toilet in a single room, and no one cares if you stay in it all night." ”

"That's diarrhea, okay."

Safely put the basin on the shelf, hung the towel on the wire, and said angrily, "Although the room fee is reimbursed by the team, it can still be saved, and when you make money in the future, it is not too late to be extravagant." ”

Then he slapped on the quilt arched by the middle bed, "Return Huzi, you're a lazy cat, don't get up yet." ”

Zhang Wenliang stretched out his hands, lifted the quilt with a pop, sat up and asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”

In order to prepare for today's opening, they were busy with the female workers in the delicatessen workshop until 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to the guest house.

Security stretched out his watch and handed it to him, "See, 6:12." ”

Zhang Wenliang blinked and looked at him blankly, "What time does the store open?" ”

Security gestured, "8 o'clock." ”

Zhang Wenliang was speechless, "Of course I know it's 8 o'clock, I'm asking you, it opened at 8 o'clock, and it's only 6:12 now, why are you calling me to get up so early?" ”

Security said confidently, "I can't sleep, it's about to open, can you sleep?" ”

Zhang Wenliang's head slowly drooped, gently rubbed his face, and sighed helplessly, "I'll wash my face." ”

At this time, those who can sleep can't sleep.

Chen Fan laughed on the side, but he didn't move.

Security immediately aimed at him, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "It only opened at 8 o'clock, what's the hurry." ”

said so, but he still got out of bed slowly, and after stretching his waist, he actually practiced Baduanjin.

Now it was Security's turn to be speechless, and after a long while, I looked at him and said, "You don't seem to be worried at all?" ”

After a few days of training, all 30 women workers, including the salesperson and the alternate, were successfully trained.

It's a pity that there are only 18 people here for the time being, and the remaining 12 can only stay in Lujiawan...... Serving the South Lake Delicatessen.

On the day of the first time I made braised chicken, Secretary Yang didn't they take the finished chickens and chicken offal to the town to sell, but they didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good, only 3 units left, and all the goods were sold out.

That's not all, with braised chicken and chicken offal, Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang teamed up to ask Secretary Qian for the qualification to open a store in the town, and then urgently launched the circle of friends, and rented a house as a store near the crossroads in the town on the same day.

It's a pity that the house is a bit old and still being renovated to this day.

Therefore, the sales of the delicatessen here are directly related to the overall development of the entire Lujiawan delicatessen business, and if the start is not smooth, it will be a big trouble.

Although there are many customers who order live poultry, they all sign contracts that do not have breach of contract.

The main thing is that I don't pay attention to these at this time, otherwise there won't be so much bullshit in a few years.

Therefore, people say that they don't want it, and the aquaculture industry in Lujiawan still needs a channel that can be held in their own hands and sold stably to the outside world.

This is also the main reason why Chen Fan proposed to build a cooked food workshop, and Secretary Yang resolutely decided to support it.

Teacher Ling Chen doesn't care about such an important matter?

After Chen Fan finished a set of actions, he was immediately refreshed, and said with a smile, "Everything that can be done now has been done, as the so-called buying and leaving, whether it is dead or alive, and it depends on the result." ”

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he pointed at him helplessly, "Your kid's biggest problem is that he has no mouth to cover, and he has to buy to leave, if people hear it, you will wait to be punished." ”

Although the limelight has passed now, there are still some people who "miss the past", they are just toads lying on their shoes, and they don't bite people.

After a pause, without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, he smiled safely and hehehe, "But then again, the truth is really the truth, okay, hearing you say this, I don't seem to be nervous anymore." ”

Chen Fan smiled at this time and said, "I'm not stupid, there are only two of us in this room, can you still sue me?" ”

As soon as he was about to speak, Chen Fan smiled again, "Even if you go to sue me, I won't admit it!" ”

Hearing this, security was even more helpless.

Chen Fan smiled and continued, "Okay, I'll tell you something." ”

"Do you know why I insist on opening at 8 o'clock every day?" ”

Security eyes moved slightly, "Why?" ”

The working hours of each unit in summer are half past seven, and in winter it is eight o'clock, but residents generally start buying vegetables from half past six, and when the opening time was determined yesterday, Chen Fan directly set 8 o'clock, which may lose a large number of potential consumers.

Yesterday he was too busy to ask, he still wanted to find a time to ask today, but he didn't expect Chen Fan to bring it up himself.

Is there any secret here?

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "The first one is to give the commercial bureau and the vegetable market management company a face, and opening the door late can show our attitude, that is, we don't compete with them for business, we only sell our own cooked food, so that even if our delicatessen business explodes in the future and affects their business, they have no reason to find us angry." ”

Security nodded thoughtfully, "Kind of makes sense." ”

Then he looked at Chen Fan, "There is one, there are two, and what else?" ”

Chen Fan turned around and pointed to the dock outside the window, "Look what it is?" ”

Safely looked in the direction he pointed, "Passenger ferry, what else can it be......"

Before he finished speaking, Security reacted suddenly, "At 8 o'clock, there is a big ship docking at 8 o'clock!" ”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Yes." ”

He looked out the window and said with a smile, "Dongfanghong 49 is sent from Chongqing, the destination is Shanghai, the whole voyage takes 4 days, you said that they docked here, half an hour, will they get off the boat and come over to have a look?" ”

(Dongfanghong No. 49 passenger ferry.) I made up the time, don't take it seriously)

Security's eyes lit up and he nodded violently, "Yes." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "There are more than 1,000 people on a ship, even if one-third of the people get off the ship, and half of them buy things,......"

Security immediately said, "There are also two hundred people, and at this time, the steaming cooked food in our deli has just come out of the pot, even if only half of them come to buy it,"

He said, his eyes widened, "I'm afraid I won't sell enough!" ”

Chen Fan shrugged, "If you don't sell enough, you will continue to do it, otherwise why should I order 12 chefs?" This wharf has 4 large ships a day, more than a dozen small ferries, and more than 2,000 passengers get off the ship every day. ”

Hearing this, An'an smiled like a fool and shook his head again and again, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

Chen Fan smiled, ripped off the towel on the wire, and then picked up the cup on the bedside table, "I'll wash my face and brush my teeth." ”

Think about a few years later, the first private restaurant in the capital opened, and there was no business license, because there were no materials, only a dozen ducks were made, which was the kind of braised duck that tasted very ordinary, and it was robbed when it opened.

He was only in a small alley, just relying on the neighbors to have such a good business, now the delicatessen guards such a big wharf, and the other two stores in the county are also in residential and commercial areas, if this can't be sold, then it's called hell!

After Chen Fan finished washing, the three of them left the guest house leisurely.

Zhang Wenliang looked at the security, "How do I think you're not worried?" ”

Safe turned his head and glanced at him, "Worried? Who's worried? ”

Zhang Wenliang was suddenly choked half to death.

Chen Fan looked left and right, and walked straight to the breakfast shop next to him, still thinking in his heart, wherever the future generations are related to passenger transportation, there is basically no good food, and I don't know if there will be any difference in this era?

After a while, I entered the breakfast shop, and the place to order food was at the door.

The cashier sat weakly in his chair, in front of him a table with two drawers, on which were meal tickets arranged horizontally, similar to meal tickets, with the names of different foods printed on them, and a blackboard hanging on the wall behind him, on which the menu was naturally written.

Chen Fan glanced at it a few times, and then began to order, "Comrade, I want a pancake, two fried dumplings, 3 pancakes, a fried dumpling, and a bowl of tofu brain." ”

Safety muttered in the back, "Except for the tofu brain, which is all oil, I can really eat it, and I eat so much." ”

If it is in 20 years, the latter sentence will most likely become "I am not afraid of getting hot", but now people are short of oil and water, and this kind of fried food will naturally become a "high-end product", so safety will say "really good at eating".

The oil cake does not explain, the oil dun is similar to the coke circle of the capital, but it is much better than the coke circle, the coke circle is a shrunken version of the fried fritters, but the oil dun can be sweet and salty, meat or vegetarian, sweet is mostly bean paste filling, vegetarian is shredded radish, meat is naturally meat, mix well with batter, and fry it with hot oil.

In some places, there is a hole in the middle of the oil pier, and some are a whole pier, no matter what shape it is, the taste is described in one sentence as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious.

The cake is also very simple, first cut the sweet potato into cubes, then mix the batter, use a small colander to make a cake, and put it in the oil pan to fry.

The batter on the outside is salty and crispy, while the sweet potatoes inside are sweet, soft and glutinous, sweet, and still delicious.

The last fried dumpling is not an ordinary dumpling, but a large dumpling bigger than a palm, and the bread is chopped vermicelli, or leeks, celery, mustard, and mixed meat, and then put into the oil pan to fry.

The taste is still two words, moist!

Pay the money to get the ticket, and then go to the pick-up gate to line up to get the meal, find an empty table with the plate and sit down, and Chen Fan will eat.

There was a burst of gobbling and it all went into the stomach.

Chen Fan smacked his lips and felt it, and the evaluation was genuine and unique.

It is indeed not comparable to the Passenger Station Assassins of later generations.

It's safe, but although he's a fat man, he doesn't eat much. Zhang Wenliang and Chen Fan are both martial arts practitioners, and it tastes like a bottomless pit, but due to the limitations of his wallet, he can only order a package of the same style as Mr. Chen.

After eating and drinking, the three of them slowly crossed the river embankment, walked down the ramp, and soon arrived at the "Luwan Deli".

Needless to say, Luwan is naturally taken from the three words Lujiawan.

At this time, the door of the store has been opened, and two salespeople are wearing clean and neat blue overalls and white sanitary hats, wiping the counter repeatedly.

Chen Fan walked to the door and stopped, looking at the overall environment.

The faΓ§ade is about 4 meters wide, and there is a wooden plaque on the door, on which is the handwritten "Luwan Deli" by Secretary Yang, which is carved out by the craftsmen in the town, and Chen Fan threw it into the kiln for carbonization.

The inside of the store is about 5 meters deep, and two-thirds of the area is occupied by a circle of glass counters, and there is only a passage about 1.5 meters wide to enter, where you can observe the products in the counter, and finally check out at the cash register inside.

During the whole process, the salesperson picks up the goods for the customer, so as to ensure food safety as much as possible, and it will not be packaged in oiled paper and handed to the customer until after the checkout.

In fact, it is the most common deli model in later generations.

But now the counters are empty, only the polished and reflective clay trays, waiting for the delicatessen to deliver the goods.
