I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

On the day of the Transparent Kitchen event, a long line formed outside the bun shop. Many customers, bloggers, and media reporters came to visit. Zhang Wanqing and her family stood at the door, greeting each guest with a polite smile.

"Welcome," Zhang Wanqing said with a smile, her eyes full of enthusiasm. "Please follow me. I'll show you our production process."

Led by Zhang Wanqing, everyone entered the bun shop's kitchen. The aroma of steaming buns filled the air, making everyone salivate. Zhang Wanqing's mother, Li Yuehan, was busy kneading dough and filling the buns with skill and swiftness.

"This is our family's secret sauce." Zhang Wanqing picked up a bottle of sauce and said with a smile, "This is our family's ancestral recipe, which has been passed down for three generations."

"Wow, that looks really delicious," one blogger said, his eyes filled with excitement. "Can I try it?"

"Of course." Zhang Wanqing smiled slightly and handed over a freshly steamed bun. "Please enjoy."

"Mm, it's really delicious." The blogger took a bite of the bun with a satisfied smile on his face. "Not only do your buns taste good, but the production process is also very clean and hygienic."

"Thank you for your recognition." Zhang Wanqing smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a sense of satisfaction. "Our bun shop has always been committed to using authentic ingredients and cleanliness. We hope to bring you a delicious breakfast."

During the visit, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei actively interacted with the guests and answered their questions. They introduced the history and production process of the bun shop in detail, allowing each guest to gain a deeper understanding of the bun shop.

After the event, many customers said that through this visit, they had a more intuitive understanding of the bun making process of the bun shop and their trust in the bun shop was greatly increased.

"Wanqing, your buns are really delicious," a customer said, with sincerity in his eyes. "I will come here often in the future."

"Thank you for your support." Zhang Wanqing smiled slightly, her eyes full of gratitude. "We will continue to work hard to bring you more delicious buns."

After the transparent kitchen event, business at Zhang Wanqing's bun shop gradually recovered. Many customers learned about the bun making process and ingredients, which greatly increased their trust in the shop. Long lines formed outside the shop again, and business returned to its former prosperity.

"Wanqing, look, business is back." Fu Siyuan stood at the door of the bun shop with a look of relief on his face, "Our efforts have not been in vain."

"Thanks to your help, we were able to overcome this difficult time." Zhang Wanqing said gratefully.

"We are friends, so we should help each other," said Fu Siyuan.

"Brother, oh no, sister, why are you being so polite!" Li Wei also said.

The successful transparent kitchen event not only restored the reputation of Zhang Wanqing's bun shop but also attracted more media attention. After the event, many media outlets reported on it, praising Zhang Wanqing's bun shop for winning customers' trust with its authentic ingredients and cleanliness.

"Zhang Wanqing's baozi shop successfully restored its reputation through a transparent kitchen campaign," a prominent media outlet wrote in a report. "This campaign not only allowed customers to see the baozi making process firsthand but also showcased the shop's cleanliness and authentic ingredients."

"Our bun shop has always been committed to using authentic ingredients and ensuring cleanliness and hygiene. We hope to bring everyone a delicious breakfast," Zhang Wanqing said in an interview, her eyes revealing a determination. "The success of this event is inseparable from the support of every customer."

With media coverage, Zhang Wanqing's bun shop gradually became a well-known local brand. More and more customers came, and business continued to grow. This century-old shop had been in this small town for a long time, but it had never been as prosperous as it is now.

After weathering the storm, business at Zhang Wanqing's bun shop has gradually recovered and is only getting better. Every morning, a long line forms outside the shop, with people flocking from far and wide hoping to get a taste of the legendary "Internet-famous buns." Zhang Wanqing and her family are busy as ever, their faces beaming with happiness.

"Mom, look, business is back." Zhang Wanqing stood at the door of the bun shop, looking at the people queuing up, a look of relief on her face, "Our efforts have not been in vain."

"Yes." Li Yuehan smiled slightly, with a firm look in her eyes. "As long as we stick to our original aspirations, we will definitely get through this."

"Mom, business is so good now, why don't we consider opening a branch or a franchise?" Zhang Wanqing smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "That way we can further expand our market share."

"Open a branch?" Li Yuehan was slightly stunned, then shook her head. "Wanqing, have you forgotten the original intention of opening our bun shop?"

"Original intention?" Zhang Wanqing was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Of course I haven't forgotten. We opened the bun shop so that more people can taste delicious buns."

"No, it's not just about the delicious buns." Li Yuehan smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a deep meaning. "We opened the bun shop to pass on our craftsmanship and culture. Every basket of buns carries the hard work and memories of several generations of our family."

"Mom, what do you mean?" Zhang Wanqing was slightly stunned, then frowned, "Not opening a branch?"

"Yes." Li Yuehan smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a firmness. "I don't want our bun shop to be replaced by modern machines. Every basket of buns should be made by hand, so that we can pass on our craftsmanship and culture."

"Mom, I understand." Zhang Wanqing smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a sense of relief. "We will stick to our original aspirations and pass on our craftsmanship and culture."

Sitting together and discussing the next countermeasures, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei also expressed their understanding and support for Li Yuehan's views.

"Wanqing, Aunt Li is right. We can't give up our original intention in pursuit of profit. Every basket of buns should be made by ourselves, so that we can pass on our craftsmanship and culture." Fu Siyuan said.

"Yes, we can consider expanding our market share through other means, such as launching new product lines or strengthening brand promotion," Li Wei suggested.

"We can launch some special products to attract more customers. First, collect customer feedback through various channels, and then launch several special products, such as the 'Century Heritage' series of steamed buns and the 'Season Limited' series of steamed buns. The 'Century Heritage' series of steamed buns retains traditional craftsmanship and is suitable for older people, while the 'Season Limited' series of steamed buns combines modern tastes and is more suitable for young people. What do you think?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"Siyuan, your suggestion is great!" Zhang Wanqing said excitedly.

"Brother, you still have a lot of ideas!" Li Wei also said.

"But there is one thing, I know traditional skills, but I don't know modern skills..." Li Yuehan said a little worriedly.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Just leave it to us." Zhang Wanqing said.

Mother Li Yuehan nodded. She also believed in her daughter and her friends.

"I'm quite looking forward to it...hehe..." Zhang Wanqing said with a smile.
