A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money
Chapter 43 Lunch Box
Leng Yanxin wants to grab business by lowering prices, right? Let's see how long they can last.
In the past, the internet celebrity stores that followed suit and imitated others experienced ups and downs for a while. The ones that can stay definitely did not do so by lowering prices. They must have some real skills. Just wait and see!
Leng Yan's words came true. Yesterday, the only imitator of Leng's lunch rice bowl was Li's restaurant, but today, there were three or four more restaurants overnight.
They all saw that Li's Food Shop copied the model yesterday and was able to enjoy a booming business and make huge profits, so they all followed suit.
After knowing this, Leng Yan's expression remained unchanged. She continued to quickly and skillfully prepare today's new dish, stir-fried rabbit cubes, and plate it.
The stimulating spicy and fresh aroma makes people drool.
The Leng family had clearly just eaten yesterday, but they were still so greedy that they couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.
Moreover, at the door of Lengji Snack Shop, those who were particular about taste only chose Leng’s, while those who wanted to save money and enjoy fresh food went to other shops.
With the traffic divided among several stores like this, the number of customers coming into Lengji Snack Shop was less than half of the usual number.
Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su saw that only a small part of the food was sold. Although they were comforted by Leng Yan and no longer felt empty, they could not help but feel anxious and helpless.
Even Old Man Leng, who was busy in the kitchen, came out several times to check. There was still bone soup stewing in the pot, and not even a third of it had been eaten.
Seeing this, Leng Yan didn't want to sit and wait for death, so he divided the work among Leng Huai, Leng Cang, Leng Qi and Leng He.
One person was clearing the dishes and wiping the table, two people were serving dishes and soup, and two people were standing at the door soliciting business.
"This one, this one, this is it!"
Leng Yan was shouting at the door when he saw several scholars coming towards him, led by the scholar Xiao from yesterday.
"Miss Leng, do you still have the garlic fish fillet from yesterday?"
Xiao Pingyue also saw her, took a few steps forward and asked.
"Yes, please come in!"
When Leng Yan saw this situation, he knew that it was this scholar Xiao who brought them a new guest.
So she stepped forward enthusiastically, invited them in, and asked her mother and sister-in-law to entertain them well, and even sent an extra dish when serving them.
"Okay, okay, your steamed fish fillet with garlic is a specialty. I'm bringing my classmates here to try it today."
Hearing this, he strode into the shop and skillfully recommended their special dishes to his classmates and friends.
"The signature dish of this restaurant is the bracken fried with bacon. The steamed fish fillet with garlic not only tastes great, but it will also overturn your previous experience of eating fish..."
After hearing the friend's eloquent and detailed introduction, the scholars were skeptical at first, but just by smelling the aroma and looking at the appearance, they felt that what the friend said was about 70% true.
Most of them are either rich or noble, and have eaten a lot of delicacies from land and sea. Now they are really curious about the taste of these meals.
So they immediately ordered a two-combination rice bowl each according to their own tastes, and then the group sat together to eat lively. During the meal, you try my dish and I try yours, which shows that their relationship is very good.
"Well, Brother Xiao, the taste of this fish fillet is exactly as you said. It is really delicious."
"Indeed, it is comparable to the hot-selling boiled fish fillet in Xianju Pavilion in Beicheng County."
"Yes, yes, yes, they are indeed equally good. The boiled fish is spicy and fresh, while the steamed fish fillet with garlic is fresh, smooth and has a strong garlic flavor. The taste of each is really good!"
“Yes, yes, who would have thought that such delicious food could be made in this small shop.
Not only the fish slices, but also the bacon becomes more fragrant the more you chew it, and the stir-fried rabbit cubes are refreshing, spicy and delicious, and go well with rice, which is absolutely perfect.
No, no, I want to pack a few portions of this fish fillet and bring them back for my grandmother to try. She loves fish the most!"
A scholar named Sheng Yuxing, who was wearing an indigo gown, said hurriedly, "Boss, pack two servings of steamed fish slices with garlic for me to take away."
Zhang Cuilian and Leng Su, who were busy at work, subconsciously agreed when they heard this. But then they realized that there was no takeaway service for the rice dishes.
The sauce-flavored pancakes and buns sold in the morning can be wrapped in oil paper, but the lunch meals cannot.
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
I just responded subconsciously, and now it would be hard to explain if I can't pack it up.
"Why don't you go ask Yan girl?"
Zhang Cuiniang spoke first, and Leng Su felt that this was the only way, so she ran out of the door and told Leng Yan what happened.
Leng Yan thought for a moment before saying, "There's a food box in the kitchen that we bought when the shop first opened. Let's use that."
The lunch box cost several dozen coins, and Leng Su was reluctant to give it away. "Two rice bowls, and only one lunch box for free. Isn't that too much of a loss?"
Leng Yan shook his head. "That's right. Those scholars are all dressed like rich people or nobles. If our shop can win their favor, they may become long-term customers in the future."
These scholars are not short of money, so their first choice is naturally good food and good service.
If they are satisfied with the taste, they will not be snatched away by other stores just because of the price!"
"Besides, who said we were going to give away a food box for free? Should we charge for it or return it another day? I still need to go and ask clearly."
Leng Yan went to the kitchen and found the lunch box. He put two servings of steamed fish fillets with garlic on a plate, carefully put them into the lunch box, and carried them to the hall.
"Sir, your garlic fish fillet has been packed for you. It's just that our shop is simple and there is only this food box left in the shop, and it can be seen drying."
Leng Yan spoke politely, then said: "Although using a food box is more troublesome, it can keep the temperature to the maximum extent. When steaming the garlic fish fillets, the most important thing is the heat.
The taste of steaming with high or low heat is different. If I have the opportunity in the future... there are also private rooms in the shop, which are just as fresh and elegant. "
Leng Yan's words were very skillful. He pointed out that the food box was included and that it was priced separately. He also introduced that he had his own private room. Instead of taking home cold meals, it was better to eat fresh and hot food in the store.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuxing expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, young lady. I will definitely bring my family over to taste it if I have the chance.
The food box will be returned to you someday by one of our servants."
Upon hearing the voice, Leng Yan hurriedly expressed his politeness, saying that it was okay and there was no rush, and then he smiled and waited until they left.
She thought about it and realized that if someone wanted to pack up their meals today, then maybe there would be more tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
It is unrealistic to refuse business that has already been done, and the price of takeout lunch boxes is high. If you encounter someone who is greedy and does not return the used lunch boxes, you will suffer a huge loss.
So Leng Yan thought of the lunch box with a lid from her previous life, but there was no plastic box, let alone a lunch box, so she set her sights on wood.
Wood can be made into basins and barrels, and naturally it can also be made into lunch boxes.
So she immediately found a fire stick, wrote and drew on the straw paper, and prepared to find a carpenter to order a batch of them.
After the lunch box issue was settled, a few days later it was the day for Xianju Pavilion to distribute dividends.
After closing time in the shop that day, the family discussed and Leng Yan and his grandfather took a ox cart to Beicheng County, while the others went home to prepare ingredients for tomorrow.
