A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money
Chapter 39 A blessing in disguise
"Don't disbelieve me, what I said is true. The owner of the Li's Food Store also said that if you eat there, he will give you a bowl of chicken soup every day!"
That man added fuel to the fire, causing the already restless crowd to fall apart in an instant.
Some people firmly believed in the good taste of Leng Ji and continued to queue up unmoved, some were encouraged and ran to Li's Food Store, and some were hesitant and didn't know what to do.
While Leng Yan was serving food to the guests, she was also paying attention to the people in the queue and hearing their conversation clearly.
She wasn't panicking, she was just surprised that an imitator appeared so quickly.
However, Leng Su, who was in charge of collecting money, and Zhang Cuiniang, who was serving rice, became anxious as ants on a hot pan when they saw this.
Just when their business started to pick up, competitors came to steal their business. How could they not be panicked?
Leng Yan calmly signaled them to stay calm, turned around and called Leng He, who was cleaning up the dishes, and asked her to take Leng Qi to the front to check out the Li family food store.
Leng He was collecting the guests' finished food plates and moving them to the backyard. Hearing this, she nodded smartly.
"He Jie'er and the others are too young, why don't I go?"
Seeing this, Leng Huai and Leng Cang beside them spoke out in unison.
"No need. It's precisely because He Jie'er and the others are small that others won't be on guard and can see more clearly."
Leng Yan shook his head and refused, "Uncle, you continue to make and serve the soup, and brother, you continue to serve the food and clean up the plates. If you leave, we won't be able to handle this."
Listening to her methodical arrangements, the two stopped hesitating and continued with the work at hand.
Originally, they were worried that the Li family’s food store would compete with them and take away their business.
I never thought that although there was not a long queue in front of the door like usual, there was still a constant stream of customers.
Leng Yan feels that this kind of traffic flow is the most comfortable. Customers will not come in a swarm, making them busy and unable to tell the directions.
When there are too many people, it is easy to make mistakes, such as ordering or serving the wrong dishes.
But now, customers come one after another, without being impatient or anxious, the error rate is lower, and she can also ask about the customers' satisfaction.
Just like today's steamed fish fillets with garlic, guests who have never eaten it will automatically think of fish as having too many bones and being difficult to eat.
But all the guests who have eaten it are surprised and delighted.
"Oh my god, there really are no bones! I have never eaten fish so delicious!"
"Who says it's not? Not only is it boneless, it tastes fresh, fragrant and tender. It's absolutely delicious when mixed with rice!"
"Yes, yes, yes. And today we gave you free fish head and tofu soup. I've never tasted such delicious fish soup. This is the most delicious soup!"
"Thank you for your advice. I have really seen that this fish fillet tastes really good!
When the boss first introduced this garlic steamed fish fillet to me, saying that the fish fillet was boneless and tasted good, I was a little skeptical, but now I am really convinced! ”
Because there are fewer people queuing in front of the door, Leng Ji Snack Shop has attracted more new customers.
And if Leng Yan had not met this scholar today, she would not have known that there was an academy in Hulu Town, not far from the pier.
This scholar's name was Xiao Pingyue, and he was a student of the academy.
Because it is close to the pier, students from the academy usually go to the streets near the pier in groups of three or four to eat after school.
Lengji Snack Shop has only been open for a few days, so many diners are still unaware of its existence.
It just so happened that today, the shop that Xiao Shusheng often went to eat was blocked by another shop next to it, the Li family shop, and the long queue of people.
Xiao Ping couldn't squeeze in and had to turn a corner.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon Leng Ji's newly opened shop. He came in to try it out and found that the food tasted surprisingly good.
Therefore, he immediately decided that he must share this shop with his classmates and friends after returning home today.
Just when the diners in the shop were enjoying their meal, they heard a whoosh from the door and a carriage stopped in front of Lengji Snack Shop.
Just by looking at the spirited horses, the gorgeous carriage, and the exquisite lantern hanging in front of the carriage, you can tell that the people inside are either rich or noble.
Sure enough, the driver jumped off the shaft of the cart and quickly took down the footstool from the back and placed it in place.
Then, a slender hand reached out from the carriage, opened the brocade curtain, and a girl wearing a multi-colored silk spring dress and with two flat buns came down.
The girl was fair and beautiful, and she walked with her back straight and steps light.
"Boss, is there a quieter place?
My wife, young master and young lady have come here and want to find a place to rest nearby so as not to miss the boat to the south."
Hearing her say this, Leng Yan instantly understood why such a luxurious carriage was parked in front of their shop.
I think according to their driving route, the resting place they chose should be Zuixianju, the most prosperous restaurant in Hulu Town.
It is estimated that they were just like Mr. Xiao, whose way was blocked and forced to turn a corner. Seeing that time was running out, they could only find a relatively clean shop nearby.
Lengji Snack Shop was the natural choice because it was a newly opened shop and they usually kept it clean.
After figuring this out, Leng Yan immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Yes, there is a clean private room inside, absolutely quiet."
Leng Yan smiled with her eyes curved. From the opening till now, the two private rooms had never been used once. Now it was obvious that he was a wealthy man who definitely had plenty of money.
In an instant, she felt that these two boxes were worth keeping. Although they were rarely used, anyone who used them must be a wealthy guest.
The maid nodded when she heard that, turned around a few steps and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and two maids dressed in the same way came down from inside.
After him came a cute little boy of about five or six years old, and two women, one older and one smaller, wearing veiled hats.
"Madam, Miss, Master, it's right here."
The three maids bent their knees, all of them were polite and well-behaved, and they followed the rules in their actions. It was obvious that the master's house had very good rules.
The lady nodded slightly and let the maid help her into the house.
Leng Yan, who was waiting on the side, saw this and led the person into the box with his sister-in-law with a sharp look in his eyes.
After they entered the house and sat down, the maid asked if there was anything to eat.
Leng Yan was just about to say that you can order dishes, as long as they are available, they can be made fresh.
Unexpectedly, the lady who had been silent said, "Bai Liu, don't worry about it. I think those outside are pretty good."
"Madam, how can you eat those things outside? Although it is not as good as being at home when you are out, you can't let Madam, Miss and Master down."
The maid Bai Liu looked quite distressed upon hearing this.
"If you can eat simple food, then you are wronged."
The lady raised her voice, "Besides, the master had to eat bran and vegetables and chew tree bark. His life is much better now. How can he be picky?"
Bai Liu just felt sorry for his master and the young master because they had been through such a hard journey. He felt it was inappropriate to hear what they said now, so he immediately knelt down and said yes.
