Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

On Friday, Zhao Xiaojing deliberately increased her workload. She went straight to the poultry wholesale market early in the morning and planned to buy five boxes of duck legs and five boxes of chicken frames.

I bought extra a few days ago, and there are still a few boxes of duck legs and chicken racks in the refrigerator. These ten boxes will be enough. There is also leftover tenderloin, enough to put another three or four hundred skewers on, so I won't buy pork tenderloin for the time being.

"Hey, the beauty is here again. Come on, come on, you see today's batch has just been unloaded, very fresh! How many boxes would you like?"

After buying hundreds of duck legs and chicken frames for several consecutive days, the owner of the poultry wholesale market already knew Zhao Xiaojing and actively led her to the newly unloaded chickens and ducks.

"Yes, it's new. Boss, I buy from you every day. Can you give me a better discount?" Zhao Xiaojing had been buying from this shop for several days in a row and had become familiar with the boss. She raised the price tentatively.

"It depends on how much you want. Usually it starts from 100 boxes, and we can offer a discount by kilogram."

"Uh... not that much. Five boxes of duck legs and five boxes of chicken frames." One box contains 20 kilograms. Zhao Xiaojing thought that she had bought a lot with ten boxes, but she didn't expect the boss to ask for a hundred boxes. Once again, she gained new insights into the market.

"How about this, beautiful lady, since you are also an old customer, I will give you a discount on the total price. I will give you a discount of 5 yuan per box of duck legs and 3 yuan per box of chicken racks. Do you think it's okay?"

The boss saw Zhao Xiaojing buying more and more things every day these days, and had a hunch that she was a potential big customer. He wanted to keep her, so he considered giving Zhao Xiaojing a discount.

"Okay!" A few dollars is not bad, it's dozens of dollars together, Zhao Xiaojing agreed readily.

After paying the money, the boss enthusiastically helped Zhao Xiaojing move the goods onto the tricycle, and both parties were very happy.

On the way back, Zhao Xiaojing bought a few buns. In order to save time, she just had a quick lunch.

I finished eating quickly and got busy when I got home. I didn't take a break for a while. Finally, I managed to make more than 1,100 skewers of fried skewers before four o'clock. I packed them in several newly bought large foam boxes and ice packs, and hurried to school.

There are only 3500 skewers left to complete the task of making 813 fried skewers, and the task can be completed if they are sold out today. The extra 300 skewers are the maximum amount that Zhao Xiaojing can make after calculating the time.

Last night, she had decided that today would be her last day of selling, and she would go to another place to set up a stall after completing the system task. She made these extra skewers so that as many students and parents as possible could eat them, and she didn't want to disappoint the customers on this last day.

At 4:10, Zhao Xiaojing rode her bike to the alley next to Chunfeng Experimental Primary School. She was ten minutes late today.

As soon as I entered the alley, I noticed something was different. The three fried skewers stalls in the alley used to have large tables with plates laid out directly on them and a simple electric fan hanging above. Today, two of them have been replaced with tall glass cabinets similar to hers, and one of them even has a huge parasol to shade the stall.

Zhao Xiaojing looked quite happy. Did she improve the quality of the fried skewers stand at the school gate by herself? The glass cabinet did look much cleaner and more sanitary than before.

Just after taking two more steps forward, she noticed scattered parents running towards her, and they didn't look very happy.

"Boss, your seat has been taken! We argued with him, but he said that the seat was originally occupied by whoever came first, and it was not yours!"

"That corner, no one had set up a stall there before you came, this guy is just jealous!"

"That's right, some people just can't stand seeing other people's business doing well, and they even want to grab every corner!"

Zhao Xiaojing was stunned. That location was indeed not a good one. She didn't know much about it when she came here on the first day. She was afraid that the good locations were occupied by other people's stalls, so she didn't dare to set up her stall. She just set up her stall in the corner where there was a shadow. She didn't expect that there would be such a thing as fighting for a spot.

"Boss, it's okay. We found you an empty spot. It's a little off the beaten path, but it's in the shade! Come over and take a look."

The generous sister who was addicted to setting up a stall the day before yesterday came up and waved her hand, directly directing Zhao Xiaojing to follow her.

When Zhao Xiaojing passed by the location where the stall was set up a few days ago, she took a look and saw that it was also a new fried skewers stall, not one of the previous three, but the owner of the stall with triangular eyes looked somewhat familiar.

"Sister, don't bother with some people. Blame it on you for having such a good business and yet you insist on setting up a stall in the corner, forcing others to change their business just to sell potatoes on the kang, and even squeeze from the main entrance to the corner! Don't you think you are making things difficult for others?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaojing passing by, Li Zhi, the porridge owner, started to speak loudly in a sarcastic tone. Zhao Xiaojing then understood why he looked familiar. It turned out that he was the one who sold potatoes at the gate.

The boss of Laokang Potato knew he was in the wrong, so he glared at Li Zhi without saying anything. Li Zhi was rolling his eyes.

"Sister Li, come over and play after you close the stall. I'll treat you to some duck legs." Zhao Xiaojing was amused and laughed out loud, thanking Li Zhi from the bottom of her heart.

"It's okay, Boss Li. We won't buy burnt potatoes, and we won't be taken advantage of by burnt fried skewers." The parents who followed the tricycle also began to express their support in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, it's all because our fried skewers stall is doing so well. It's definitely not because the food is delicious, but because the corner location has great feng shui! If anyone occupies that spot, people will line up to eat fried slippers~"

"Wow, are fried slippers delicious? They sound better than fried potatoes!"

The parents seemed to be ignited and started a yin-yang show one by one, and the potato boss's face turned green with anger.

Zhao Xiaojing followed Sister Haoshuang all the way to a more remote place, but there were trees and walls, providing a large area of ​​shade.

"Boss, just put it here. We'll go show the students the way. We parents have already discussed it. We'll buy the fried skewers for the person who shows the way."

"Yes! Let's go show him the way. I don't believe that he can have any business today."

The parents were all filled with righteous indignation, as if it was really them who set up the stall. Zhao Xiaojing was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She just kept saying thank you for a long time.

After setting up the stall and hesitating for a while, Zhao Xiaojing decided to tell the parents in advance.

"Thank you so much, and there's no need to be so upset for me. I may not set up a stall here next week."

"Ah why? Why don't you pose?"

"Boss, don't be afraid of being affected. No one buys the potatoes that have been put there! We all went to help you promote them, but if no one buys, he will leave!"

"Yes, yes. Boss, if you still want to set up there, we can go there early tomorrow and save a spot for you!"

"Yes, boss, please don't leave! What will we eat if you are not here?"

The parents all started to persuade Zhao Xiaojing, and she suddenly found it difficult to say what she had prepared.

I originally thought that asking customers for help and owing favors to them was not a long-term solution, so I wanted to move my stall to a new location. Now that I heard that I was going to move to a new location, everyone was even more willing to help, and Zhao Xiaojing didn't know how to refuse.

"…The main reason is that I can't change the time. Something happened at home, so I may only be able to set up the stall at night from now on, so I have to change the place." Zhao Xiaojing gritted her teeth and said the excuse she had prepared in advance.

"Then where shall we set it up tonight? We shall go there tonight!"

"How about the boss, please leave me your phone number so I can let them know!"

"Boss, why don't you come to the school to set up the place at night? We can do that, too!"

The guests became enthusiastic again, and Zhao Xiaojing was a little amused.

Just as I was wondering how to answer, the school bell rang. Parents were excited and started to move in batches, some pointing the way, some buying skewers, and some grabbing a spot to make the sauce.

The first batch of elementary school students rushed in and were confused. Usually they looked at the glass cabinets to determine the direction of action, but why were there so many glass cabinets today? Then they rushed to the place where they usually bought fried skewers, but why was the boss an uncle?

Following Li Zhi's instructions, several students had already gone forward to look for the place, but Li Zhi also had his own business, so while he was selling porridge, some students still went to the fried skewers stall owned by the boss of Kang Tu Dou.

"Boss, duck legs, tenderloins, chicken racks!" The pupil with glasses was very excited. He finally got the center position today! And he didn't have to queue!

"20. Do you want tomato or pepper?" The potato shop owner immediately put the food into the frying pan.

"Well, there's also tomato? Are there any new flavors?" the bespectacled student asked happily, completely unaware.

"Yes, specially made for your taste!"

"Then I want tomatoes!" The student with glasses paid even more happily.

The curly-haired girl who was assigned to show the way was the first to come from Zhao Xiaojing's stall. As soon as she arrived at the porridge shop, she saw the student with glasses happily waiting for the fried skewers in the pot at the potato boss's stall, but it was too late to stop him.

I had to gesture to the confused students behind me.

"Where's the Fried Skewers Sister? This doesn't look like her stall."

"Your skewers sister is in front! Just keep going over there." Seeing a student speak, the curly-haired sister who was pointing the way finally didn't have to hold it in anymore. She pointed ahead and said it out loud.

The student with glasses who was selling fried skewers finally came to his senses and looked at the stall carefully. This stall didn't have a glass cabinet? There were so many varieties of fried skewers? The boss wasn't a pretty lady? That's not right...

When I turned around, I saw that the other students were already running forward in scattered groups.

"Isn't this the stall of the skewers sister?" the student with glasses said with a sad face.

"It's the same, the same! Mine tastes better!" The potato shop owner forced a smile and deceived.

Seeing that the potato stall owner was shameless, the curly-haired sister asked Li Zhi for a paper shell directly, and borrowed a pen from a student. She wrote a big sign "Fried skewers sister, go 50 meters forward" and stood in the open space in front of the stall.

The students ran over, looked at the paper shell, then looked at the boss, and ran forward one by one.

"What do you mean!" When the potato maker saw that no more students came, he yelled angrily and rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.

Several parents who were giving directions nearby heard the roar and immediately ran over and stood next to the curly-haired girl holding the sign.

"What the hell, is this road yours?" asked a muscular guy with a tattoo on his neck who was smoking.

“……” The Potato Maker boss took a look, went back to his stall without saying a word, and sat heavily on the chair.

Seeing that the potato shop owner was a bully, he took the curly-haired girl's sign and stood in her place.

The curly-haired girl looked at the potato maker happily, and seeing that his eyes were almost popping out but he didn't dare to say anything, she ran to the entrance of the alley and continued to greet the children.

The owner of Kang Potato looked at the parents who were cooperating well with him and his breathing became heavy with anger.
