Chapter 54: The Opening of Dingxiang Garden (Part 2)

At the entrance of Dingxiangyuan store, Aunt Wu is soliciting business from passers-by.

"Girl, you get what you pay for. We use the freshest vegetables, meat and soup ingredients here, which are also very fragrant. You will know when you come in and try it. You will definitely like it." Aunt Wu explained patiently.

"Xiaoli, forget it, no one says that the things in their homes are good, they are actually the same. There is another family in front, which is much cheaper." Another woman approached and persuaded her companions to give up.

"Well, let's go." The woman named Xiaoli, who led the lead, thought for a moment, felt that the 20% discount was also expensive, so she took two steps back and left with her female companion.

Aunt Wu's expression was a little awkward, but she has been in this industry for many years and has experienced a lot, so she doesn't care much about it.

She turned her head and continued to shout to passers-by.

Unexpectedly, several pedestrians who stopped in front of the store shook their heads and left after learning the price.

The popular Malatang on the snack street was actually treated coldly here. Aunt Wu's face couldn't help but droop.

"Xiao Jiang, this won't work. Otherwise, let's be cheaper." She couldn't help but make suggestions to Jiang Yichen. At present, the price is obviously the main obstacle.

"This is not suitable. If the price is lowered and it will easily cause dissatisfaction to customers." Jiang Yichen shook his head and rejected it.

Until now, it is already half past eleven, and there is still no old customer on the snack street. This is really a strange thing.

At this moment, Su Xiaojia walked out of the store, and she made a whimpering sound, then gestured to Aunt Wu, twisted one thumb and index finger in front of her nose, and then pointed to the soup pot in the room.

This sign language, Jiang Yichen, is aware of it, which means "scent".

He slapped his forehead and came back to his senses.

He and Aunt Wu were unconsciously caught in a simple misunderstanding. When they were on the snack street, the stall was on the roadside, and the fragrance emitted by the soup pot was the most powerful weapon to attract customers.

Now that the store is opened, the soup pot is set up near the counter in the house, and the smell cannot be conveyed. The price is higher than other families by relying on him and Aunt Wu to attract customers on the street.

Of course, this is also because they all lack experience in operating formal stores.

"Miss Xiaojia is right, aunt, let's move the soup pot out. Oh, no, if someone checks in broad daylight, then move it to the door and open the door for the fragrance to spread." Jiang Yichen suggested.

Aunt Wu also understood. She wiped her hands with her apron and followed Xiao Jiang into the house.

Two minutes later, the steaming soup pot was moved near the glass door. Soon, the boiled red soup, beef bones, butter, meat pieces, and various seasonings were mixed with aromas, covering the sidewalk five or six meters away in front of the store.

As expected, recruiting goods is more effective than recruiting people.

"Yeah, it smells so good."

"Malatang, why not eat here at noon."

"Okay. Let's go in."

Three men holding bags and looking like tourists from other places were attracted by the rich aroma, and then briefly discussed a few words before entering the store.

The business finally came, Aunt Wu was so excited that she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and guided the guests to a dining table inside.

Before the customer ordered the order, she quickly quoted the price and explained the reasons for the high-quality price.

Although the three tourists also thought it was a little expensive, the tempting aroma must have a bad taste, so they agreed.

One of them followed Aunt Wu to the vegetable rack and ordered some meat and vegetable ingredients.

Su Xiaojia quickly took out the skewers and put them in the pot to scald them.

Aunt Wu took out three plates from the counter, poured them with sesame oil and minced garlic, used them as small dipping sauce, and placed them on the tabletop.

Take the meat skewers directly from the pot and blanch the vegetable skewers for one minute.

When the food is served, the aroma is everywhere and it is drilled into the nostrils.

The three guests couldn't help but move their index fingers, and used chopsticks to pick the meatballs and vegetable pieces onto the plate. They tried two pieces, but they felt that they were spicy and fresh and fragrant, and they were full of saliva.

"Well, it's delicious."

"I didn't expect that the things made in such a small place are really good."

"Haha, you think only hotel food is delicious. In fact, those places are big and comprehensive, so they are not professional."

Diners praised while stuttering.

When Aunt Wu saw that they were eating sweetly, the wrinkles on her face also stretched out and she smiled.

Over the past period of time, the hard work of cleaning up the store is nothing, but her years of savings have almost been spent, which makes her feel uneasy and empty.

Now I finally see hope.

"Boss, the spicy flavor of your skewers is very special. What kind of chili are you using?" One of the guests' tongues was very sensitive and tasted the uniqueness of chili in the seasoning.

"If you want to say you really understand it. This is the new variety of red peppers from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences. They are spicy and fresh. They are still in the small-scale planting stage and are not visible on the market." Aunt Wu explained with a smile.

"Well, no wonder, this spicy food is really satisfying, different from what you have eaten before. So, we are quite happy." The guest nodded with satisfaction and continued to greet with chopsticks.

Aunt Wu looked at the boiling soup pot, and added the special peppers and cumin that Xiao Jiang had just brought. Xiao Jiang specifically stated that the peppers are very spicy and can only put two in a pot. If there are too many, it will be unbearable and counterproductive.

She also tasted it at that time, and it turns out that way. After adding new chili and cumin, four special seasonings worked together. The whole soup base seemed to be more delicious and richer than before. The soup was better, and the taste of the ingredients was naturally better.

It seems that Xiaojiang’s fellow villager has a lot of good things in his hands.

At this time, another guest came in and she quickly met her.

As the number of customers increased and the temptation of the fragrance was added, the herd effect began to appear, and the eight tables in the store were quickly filled.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen stopped attracting customers outside and returned to the hall to help.

When the diners first came in, they just ordered a few skewers in a small amount. After they tasted the taste, they sighed in their hearts that it was such a delicious food. Then they let go. The sounds of ordering came one after another. Aunt Wu ran back and forth, sweating on her forehead, and Su Xiaojia and Jiang Yichen were also very busy.

Later, these diners became addicted to eating and no longer subdivided the varieties of spinach, rapeseed, zucchini, lotus root slices, etc., but instead directly asked for many skewers, tofu skewers or fish balls.

The three tourists from other places came in first. When they were checking in, they were stunned for a moment and had a total of more than 130 yuan. Looking at the table full of bamboo sticks, they felt that their stomachs were swollen and their throats were hiccups frequently.

They have been traveling around the world for many years, but they didn't expect that their self-control became so poor. The three of them couldn't help but smile bitterly.
