Chapter 34: The first person to eat crabs
When Tanya found the "Kitchen Next Door", the surroundings were already blocked by the onlookers.
She tried to squeeze forward a few times, but none of them succeeded.
In desperation, I had to find an empty stone chair outside the crowd and stepped on it, winning with height.
In response to this, the fans in the live broadcast room were almost laughing crazy, and they were all browsing: The sadness of the little dwarf.
Because Tanya is only 1.6 meters tall...
The vision becomes wider and the situation ahead is in sight.
The restaurant is not as tall as I imagined, it is just an ordinary fly restaurant, with only six tables in the front hall.
In terms of overall scale and number of customers, it is not comparable to the hot kitchen.
but,
Compared with the noisy kitchens, the kitchen next door is obviously much quieter, and most of the noisy sounds almost come from the melon-eating crowd outside the restaurant.
"Lao Zhang, how could you go to such a black shop for dinner?"
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Zhang from Building 4? Last night, I said that I lost money when playing mahjong recently and wanted to save some money, but it was also in there?"
"Haha, it's not all over. Those people are almost all familiar faces. Look, even Zou Ming, the most picky eater, is here."
"I remember Zou Ming came yesterday, right?"
"You guys say, is it possible that they all took the benefits of restaurants?"
"Zou Ming has a lot of money, will he care?"
"It's hard to say..."
"Tsk, you said so much, can you just try it yourself? Why do you think what others say?"
"Then you go, we can't afford 80 per serving of hot beef onion."
"Hahaha.."
"Call, if I have money, do you have to say?"
…
There were many different opinions on people, but there was no unified statement, and the scene was very chaotic.
Tanya did not express her opinions rashly in the live broadcast room.
Several conclusions can be drawn from everyone's conversations.
First, the price of restaurants is indeed ridiculously high. The price of beef that is usually 30 per serving of hot spring onion is 80;
Second, the restaurant should be open not long ago, otherwise it would be impossible to attract so many people to watch every day instead of dining;
Third, those guests in the restaurant may be tutors;
Fourth, the beautiful boss lady in the restaurant seemed to care about everyone's condemnation, but just focused on her job, serving dishes, checking out, and cleaning up the tableware;
As for the fifth point...
Tan Ya carefully glanced at the expressions of these people outside, and found that most of them had neither wanted to go in nor wanted to leave. They just kept making excuses, as if they were waiting for something.
But the question is, hasn't anyone really talked about food-related topics?
Like taste?
The boss's wife didn't say it,
The guest didn't say it,
It's so strange!
Why---
A faint sigh suddenly came from the side,
When Tan Ya looked at the sound, she saw a thin middle-aged uncle holding his arms with his hands and shook his head helplessly at the crowd in front of him.
She was a little surprised, wondering why the other party sighed, and tried to ask,
"Uncle, have you ever eaten this restaurant?"
The middle-aged man looked at Tan Ya carefully and asked uncertainly, "The first time I came to the old street?"
"Well, I am a food anchor and am looking for food for my fans." Tanya explained.
The middle-aged man suddenly realized, then looked around and replied in a low voice, "I've eaten."
‘This guy is so strange. Is it necessary to sneak in? It’s like a thief?’ There are several similar doubts mixed in the barrage.
…
Tan Ya was also very strange, but it was impossible to show it in person, and continued to ask, "How is that smell?"
The middle-aged man gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "Great!"
"But everyone..." Tanya was amused by the other party's tone.
"Little girl, I tell you, don't listen to these people, they are very bad."
The middle-aged man whispered to the man in a floral shirt in the front.
"A lot of these people are with him, and they are mingling in the crowd to fan the flames."
Tan Ya guessed that this person should be the chef of the popular kitchen, Zhao Gang.
"Why did he do this?"
"Just compete." The middle-aged man always kept a very low volume. "Not only him, but also those very fat guys, are all restaurant owners on this street.
Alas, if you are not proficient in cooking and cannot make money in craftsmanship, you can unite to resist others.
Think about it, what would the guests come and go after the price of the next door kitchen is implemented? They would definitely think that the food of the next door kitchen is the best. On the contrary, other restaurants have become supporting roles.
Is this the truth?"
"Although this is the reason, how to choose whether it is always the customer's wish?" Tan Ya was very simple, and she could understand these twists and turns.
"Little girl, you are too simple." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "This is an invisible contest. Whoever persists for a long time will be the final winner."
"How to say it?"
"Look, how can this kind of fly restaurant withstand being slandered every day? Even if the owner can bear it, the customers can't stand it. Everyone is here to have a meal, not to be seen by monkeys." The middle-aged man hit the nail on the head.
"It seems to make some sense." Tan Ya nodded thoughtfully, "Uncle, then won't you go in for a meal?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand with a wry smile, "I originally planned to come over and taste the fish-flavored shredded pork again today, but the restaurant suddenly canceled the dish."
“Never sell it again?”
"It seems that this is what it means. I heard from the restaurant's boss Su that the restaurant only launches one special dish every day. As for whether it will be launched again in the future, it depends on the chef's meaning."
“What do special dishes mean?”
"Here, the beef onion launched today is considered a special offer."
"This is also called a special offer?" Tan Ya opened her mouth, speechless inside.
But then I thought about it, compared with the other two dishes, this is indeed a special price.
"Then order the beef onion."
"I thought so too, but when I saw Zhao Gang and his group of people coming, I held back and planned to see the situation before talking."
"Can he even beat someone?" Tan Ya subconsciously shrank her neck, guessing if she would be beaten if she would be beaten after entering later.
"Whether he dares?"
The middle-aged man showed a weird smile and continued to lower his voice.
"I heard from others this morning that the chef of the chef next door made a big fuss in the hot kitchen last night, but Zhao Gang didn't even dare to say a single fart, and I don't know what happened."
Tanya's mind inexplicably revealed the door that was being repaired while eating in the hot kitchen.
"Since there is that chef who is guarding me, what are you worried about?"
"Hey, I have lived on this street for decades. People always look up and see each other without looking down.
Moreover, the dishes of the kitchen next door are really too expensive. It’s okay to come to the dentistry occasionally. They often eat, but they can’t stand the wallet. Therefore, most of the time, they have to eat in the restaurant run by Zhao Gang and others. Try not to make grudges if you can make grudges.”
The middle-aged man pointed to a few neighbors standing in the crowd.
"I guess everyone thinks the same as mine."
"But waiting is not a solution?" Tan Ya expressed sympathy to the old neighbors.
"Don't get me wrong. If you want to leave, everyone will have left long ago. We just want to see who will be the first to eat crabs."
"You mean, no one has ordered those two most expensive dishes yet?"
"That's right." Middle-aged nodded with certainty, with a look of anticipation.
Received the Super Rocket*1 from ‘Xiaoxing’!
Just at this moment, a rocket worth 2,000 yuan appeared in the live broadcast.
Before Tan Ya could thank her, she saw "Xiaoxing" sending a colorful barrage.
Extremely conspicuous.
‘Xiaoya, this is what everyone is giving to you together. Go and be the first person to eat crabs. See what the two dishes are really famous. It’s so enchanting!’
