Chapter 121 Unexpectedly Popular
Lu Xiang is very honest when selling things.
The stir-fried vegetables are weighed after being mixed, and some extra peanuts and two or three slices of meat are added after weighing.
Although the food wasn't much, it still made the customers feel comfortable. Those who could afford the 1.5 yuan price didn't mind a bite, but getting more was still a pleasure.
Lu Xiang put the braised pork in a lunch box for him. After weighing it, she would scoop out the soup and use it to mix with rice and noodles. It tastes very good.
After this order was sold, it gave everyone a shot in the arm.
Is there really anyone buying it?
Xu Aidang was a little surprised, but the aroma made him want to buy some, not to mention others. If it weren't for the need to save face, he would have eaten the box that Liu Pang gave him right now.
Liu Zhang said, "What I just bought is called Shizi. People just love to eat. No matter what is sold outside, they will buy it."
But everyone else has been working all morning and is hungry. They're definitely heading to the cafeteria. Who's still coming to buy this?
Sure enough, after this sale, no one bought it anymore.
A few people came to ask about it, but since they heard the price was quite high, some of them didn't have any money with them and just went back.
Then there was a long silence.
Fat Liu was a little disappointed, wondering why these people didn't know the value of the goods.
Fatty Liu turned around and comforted Lu Xiang: "It's okay, let's stay a little longer!"
Liu Zhang said from the side: "Yes, I'll take you to the factory to play later."
The factory itself is just a collection of workshops, nothing much to see. But to outsiders, state-owned factories are still quite mysterious places. Taking friends inside for a tour not only satisfies their curiosity but also gives you a lot of face.
…
Shizi, the only one who had bought meat, brought his purchases into the cafeteria. He then ordered a portion of rice and two steamed buns, unwrapped the meat, and began to eat it with gusto.
He is a very interesting person. Although he is not young anymore, he doesn't think about finding a girlfriend.
He spends every penny and is very kind to others, sharing his food and drinks with everyone. He is very popular in the factory and recently became a team leader, making him a very popular figure. Many people like to hang out with him.
But the other person wasn't stupid. Someone like Shizi was fine as a friend, but a date would be a real money-spinner.
I saw him shopping again today. Everyone had already inquired about it, and at $1.50 a pound for minced pork and cooked offal, it was really expensive. And yet, he bought a pound just the same. It was truly extravagant. How much could he possibly eat?
Everyone ate happily and fell silent as they smelled the unfamiliar fragrance in the air.
Although the food in the cafeteria is delicious, I’ve had enough of eating it every day.
Moreover, the food in the cafeteria is just the same two or three things that are cooked over and over again.
The people around him were eating alright, which showed how delicious he was. Suddenly, I felt that the food in the cafeteria was tasteless.
They all watched Shi Zi eat. He scooped up some soup and soaked the rice. He ate the meat with big mouthfuls, concentrating on it, his mouth full of oil.
Moreover, the aroma was extremely overbearing. When others watched him eat, they all started to drool.
Looking at him eating with big mouthfuls, you don’t even need to ask about the taste, you can tell it’s delicious just by looking at his expression.
No one knew who it was, but he swallowed loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Among them was Shi Zi's group, who usually hung out together. He couldn't resist the temptation. He stretched his chopsticks toward the salad and said, "Let me try some!"
Shizi suddenly hit someone else's chopsticks with his chopsticks, showing signs of protecting his food.
This had never happened before. Before, when his family cooked braised pork and prawns, people would just take them if they wanted to, but why did he actually guard this ordinary-looking meat?
The person next to him said to Shizi, "I'll just take a small bite!"
Shizi was obviously reluctant: "Then you eat it." Then he stared at his chopsticks, afraid that he would take a big piece.
The man was very polite and added a small one. As soon as he ate it, his eyes widened: "How much did you buy it for?"
Without waiting for anyone to reply, he hurried away. The others were curious, wondering if this thing could be so alluring. They shamelessly went to the stone and took a bite!
The cold dish is crispy and has the aroma of meat, which is very good whether it is eaten with wine or on its own.
Stews are even better than rice.
The first bite was so delicious I was eager to grab a second. Soon everyone rushed out. Compared to this, the stewed radish from lunch seemed to have no flavor at all.
The commotion in the cafeteria was noticed not only by others but also by the chefs in the kitchen. The head chef said, "What's that smell? It smells so good!"
The other chefs hurriedly said, "Someone is here to cause trouble. He actually sells things here. Everyone knows that you have a chef's certificate!" Someone on the side added fuel to the fire.
The chef was also a foodie. When he smelled the aroma, he didn't care about being jealous and said, "I'll go and take a look!" Then he took a big lunch box and went out.
Everyone in the restaurant knew the chef, and when they saw that even he had gone out, they followed him out to join in the fun.
The other chefs also wanted to watch the fun, so they followed out in a hurry.
Soon I saw a long queue in front of the stall outside: "Hey, give me more peanuts." This thing is fragrant in itself, and it is even more fragrant when mixed with it.
After the Lu Xiang is mixed, it is weighed. After weighing, two more pieces of meat are added.
"Give me a pound!"
"Give me half a pound."
"This braised meat, give me some more pig intestines, I love it!"
"Pig's feet, put more pig's feet."
Everyone has different preferences for food. The people in the front of the line are picking and choosing, which makes the people behind them extremely anxious, afraid that by the time it's their turn, all the good food will be gone.
And after it came out, the aroma was even stronger and my stomach was growling.
While waiting in line, they were still amazed: "These cheap pig offal can actually taste like this! I really want to have a bite with rice."
"Of course, I want to buy more so I don't have to cook at night." Before finishing the current meal, he had already made clear plans for the next one.
Buy it now and enjoy it with your family. It's hot.
Lu Xiang always weighs the braised meat for them first and then adds the soup at the end.
The thick soup is also the essence. It is perfect for mixing with rice or dipping steamed buns in it.
One bite is very satisfying and satisfying.
The steel plant's intention soon affected the spring factory next door, and soon people from the spring factory also came out to join in the fun.
Lu Xiang had run a stall before, so she started taking orders quite skillfully. Some wanted more pork trotters, some wanted more pig intestines, and some wanted more hand-shredded meat like pig hearts.
He tried his best to accommodate everyone's suggestions, while Fatty Liu collected the money. He was so busy that Liu Zhang and Xu Aidang had to help out.
