Zheng Yan saw that the opening ceremony was going to be a lull, so he decided to change his plan temporarily and launched a free tasting activity of steamed buns. ("", watch the latest update of this book)
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to announce it, things took a turn for the worse.
I saw a burly middle-aged man walking out of the crowd of onlookers, accompanied by a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. He asked Zheng Yan:
"Is your head office the bun shop in Shigu Lane?"
"Yes, our Youran Farm only has one main store and one branch. Have you been there?" Zheng Yan replied.
After getting a positive answer, the middle-aged man seemed very happy and continued:
"That's good. A few days ago, a relative of mine brought me a bag of steamed buns, saying they were from the steamed bun shop at Youran Farm in Shigu Lane. They tasted really good. My kid always complained that he didn't eat enough, but he kept
I don’t have time to go over there.”
The middle-aged man had a relieved expression on his face.
"Dad, is this the bun shop you mentioned?" the little girl next to her raised her head and asked.
"Yes, haven't you always wanted to eat? Can daddy take you in?"
"Okay." The little girl happily clapped her hands.
"Sir, please come in." Zheng Yan was very happy when he saw someone finally came out to support him, and quickly motioned to the waiter to welcome the guests.
"Shhh..." After the middle-aged man entered the store, there was a burst of booing from the crowd.
"It's too cliché to find a food sitter."
"That's right, look at that man's expression. It's too exaggerated. He's just acting."
"You even have a child, and it really looks like that. It's a pity that the acting skills are so bad, it looks like an amateur at first glance."
Zheng Yan was not in a hurry this time. He knew that as long as a leader appeared, it would be like a gap in the defense line, and others would soon follow. So he put back his plan to try it for free.
He did not refute the gossip among the crowd, but stood calmly by the gate.
Not long after, the middle-aged man who entered the store came out with an excited look on his face, holding a large plastic bag full of steamed buns in his hand. The little girl followed behind, holding a steaming steamed bun.
Eating buns while walking.
"Sir, you bought so much. Don't you want to eat in the store?" Zheng Yan stepped forward and asked.
"Haha, it tastes exactly like last time. It hasn't changed at all. Just eat two. \\First published by 9vk.com\\ Taking advantage of your discount, buy more and give it to your family to try. It's better to branch out.
It's close, so it will be convenient to come here in the future." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Please go slowly, welcome to come again next time." Zheng Yan saw off the guest with a smile.
"Lao Jin, why did you buy so many buns at once? Can you eat them?" An acquaintance of the middle-aged man seemed to appear outside. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but asked strangely.
"If you can't eat it, keep it in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, just take it out and steam it. Go try it, it's a rare good taste, I'm sure you haven't tried it before. Besides, it's only on sale today." Lao Jin responded with a smile.
"Really, it's so good, let's give it a try." Hearing what Lao Jin said, the two acquaintances were very curious, walked out of the crowd, and headed towards the entrance of the bun shop.
"Hey, buddy, how much can you earn by working as a babysitter? Do you have a hundred yuan?" a busybody in the crowd of onlookers asked Lao Jin.
"Go away, stop talking nonsense." Lao Jin glared at the person who asked the question, and when the person stopped talking, he turned and walked out.
"Bad guy." The little girl made a face at the man while eating the buns.
As I passed by, the half-bao in my hand exuded a rich aroma.
"Hey, these days, people who cook and take care of children are so arrogant."
"Yeah, what a world."
After Lao Jin and the little girl walked away, those who were looking for trouble started talking again.
"I feel like the father and daughter who went out just now don't look like foodies. The child seems to really like eating steamed buns." At this time, another voice emerged from the crowd of onlookers.
"Don't tell me, the buns that little girl was holding were really delicious." A middle-aged woman continued.
"I seem to have smelled it too, but it's different."
After a while, the people who had just entered the restaurant began to come out one after another, each holding large and small bags of steamed buns.
They joked and talked with each other, and when they saw acquaintances, they kept inviting people to come in and spend money.
Seeing this scene, the crowd of onlookers gradually began to waver, and the herd effect showed its power.
As a result, driven by curiosity, more and more people entered the store, and without exception, they carried one or two large bun bags in their hands when they went out.
The atmosphere at the scene began to heat up rapidly, and the influence was undoubtedly huge. Those who had just made sarcastic comments couldn't hold it any longer, and walked into the store to see what kind of buns had such great charm.
In the branch business hall, the sales method still follows the model of the south store of Baozipu main store, that is, customers first go to the cashier to pay and issue a ticket, then take the receipt to the food reception area to pick up the food, and then find a seat by themselves.
At this moment, half of the seats in the lobby on the first floor were occupied.
As soon as a new customer enters the door, he is immediately attracted by the fresh aroma that permeates the hall. It is a mixed aroma that perfectly blends the fragrance of cabbage and the rich aroma of gravy, which seems to be pervasive and arouses appetite.
As a result, the queue in front of the checkout counter began to get longer and longer.
At a dining table by the window, a young man was devouring steamed buns. The middle-aged man opposite him was a slow man. He calmly picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and dipped it in a small butterfly filled with vinegar and chili.
After a while, he brought it to his mouth, took a bite, and savored it slowly.
"Good, the dough is fluffy and soft, full of elasticity, the filling is mellow and juicy, and the aroma of the dough and the filling are perfectly combined. It's really a top-quality bun." The middle-aged man looked like an expert and nodded in approval.
The young man ate a bun and then asked the middle-aged man:
"Uncle Zhao, you said that these buns are so fragrant. Isn't it because there is too much flavoring or something?"
"You kid is really immature. Try it carefully. Is this the flavor of essence? No matter how good the essence is, if you taste it carefully, there will always be an astringency. The cabbage stuffing inside has a pure natural fragrance, which is very transparent.
It must be the kind of natural green vegetables that don't even use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, which is rare." The middle-aged man scolded the young man, and then patiently explained to him.
"Oh, I'll try it again, it seems like that. Uncle Zhao, you know better." The young man picked up another bun and started to chew it.
The middle-aged man commented on the food in a loud voice, and everyone at the surrounding tables heard it. They tasted it carefully according to what he said, and there was a sudden roar of approval.
Today is the first day of opening. The bun shop only prepares two kinds of buns stuffed with pork and cabbage and beef and shredded radish, as well as a drink with soy milk.
Although the variety is small, it is enough to satisfy first-time customers.
Those customers who had doubts entered the store and were quickly impressed by the delicious food. When they went out, they bought large and small bags to take away like the people in front of them. It formed a strange scenery.
Outside the bun shop, this lively scene attracted more and more passers-by. After asking, they joined the queue of diners one after another. The atmosphere became more and more lively, and more and more customers gathered. It didn’t take long for the lobby on the first floor to be full.
, the service staff quickly led the customer to the business hall on the second floor.
As business increased, all staff at the Baozipu branch worked hard and began operating at full capacity.
Only then did Zheng Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
It's true that people call people without saying a word, and goods come to you at the raise of a hand. Boss Xiao Li is right, in the face of strong strength, all tricks and means are worth mentioning.
Moreover, in this area of Beicheng, business is prosperous, the economy is developed, and people's spending power is relatively strong. A few hundred meters further east, pizzas priced at 180 yuan a piece in the dining area are very popular. In comparison, I
The buns that cost two or three yuan each here are really nothing.
He saw that the situation was almost the same and there was no need to recruit more people, so he left the door and went into the store to check all aspects of the work.
You know, today is the first day of official operation of the branch. Everyone has just started working and getting used to it. They are not yet proficient, but they have to keep an eye on it to avoid making any mistakes.
On this day, I was busy until 7:30 in the evening, when the Baozipu branch closed.
The waiters and bun chefs had been working all day, and all of them were so tired that their backs ached.
After all the work was finished, Zheng Yan called everyone together and briefly summarized the opening. He said that today was very successful and everyone's performance was also outstanding. He hoped to continue to work hard tomorrow.
In order to encourage everyone, he decided to increase the bonus of 800 yuan for each employee in the store this month.
Upon hearing this, the store clerks' mood suddenly became high, and they suddenly felt less tired.
After all the employees had gone to rest, Zheng Yan found Xiao Su at the cashier and checked the accounts with her. On the first day of opening, a total of nearly 8,000 steamed buns and 700 bowls of soy milk were sold, which was a great achievement.
At noon, he called Boss Xiao Li and reported the smooth opening of the branch. Boss Xiao Li was obviously very happy, but said that this was expected, and encouraged him to work hard and ask for help if he had any difficulties.
Solved by the head office.
In fact, the main store has already given a lot of support today. Due to insufficient estimates in advance, the material inventory will not be enough until noon. It was Xiaoxia from the logistics department who drove another trip to deliver water and fillings, and then we insisted on dinner.
past.
After checking the accounts, Xiao Su also got off work. Zheng Yan went up to the dormitory on the third floor to rest.
He stood in the corridor on the third floor, looking out the window at the wide road. All kinds of cars were flowing continuously, with their headlights connected end to end, like several long queues. Until this moment, he still felt excited and not tired.
Zheng Yan raised his head and saw in front of him shrouded in night, a swath of high-rise buildings and bright neon lights. It seemed that not far away, a beautiful life in the future was waving to him, and his heart was full of expectations.
