Chapter 220 Reporting Value
Li Wenya: "Because they are newsworthy."
"Newsworthy? What newsworthy?" Zheng Jiexiu asked, "Ours is a century-old craft. Our ancestors once opened a bun shop in the capital."
"In the past, the royal family also ate the buns made by our ancestors. Is this newsworthy?"
After Zheng Jie Xiu said this, he felt that his bun shop was very newsworthy.
Li Wenya shook her head and looked at Zheng Jiexiu. "Auntie, this is a new society. Don't mention those people who oppressed and exploited the people in the old society. What you said is not glorious at all."
Zheng Jie Xiu's face changed, and Wen Zhaodi also reached out to pull her.
Although it is not those years now, there are some things that cannot be said casually, especially since the man in the family is a cadre.
Li Wenya continued, "We reported on Happy Noodle House because it uses authentic ingredients and tastes great, and it's popular with everyone, making it worth reporting on."
"But your bun shop doesn't seem to be very popular. But if we talk about news value, your bun shop still has one."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jie Xiu and Wen Zhaodi's eyes lit up.
Li Wenya laughed and said, "Didn't your bun shop have spoiled ingredients, yet you still sold them? Someone ended up in the hospital after eating them. This could be a good negative story to report."
When the diners at the noodle shop heard this, many of them smiled and said, "Yes, this matter can also be reported."
"The good ones can be published in the newspapers for positive publicity, and the bad ones can also be published in the newspapers for criticism to warn others."
"Comrade reporter, you must report this matter thoroughly, and tell other self-employed people who open restaurants in the future not to follow their example."
Zheng Jiexiu, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were both panicked and angry. Their faces turned blue and red like a color palette, which was very beautiful.
Zheng Jie Xiu glared at those who were laughing and joking and asked reporters to report on them.
These people are really evil. They clearly can't stand seeing others doing well and making money in business.
Chen Hang picked up the camera seriously and took pictures of the bun shop.
Zheng Jie Xiu and Wen Zhao Di hurriedly tried to stop him, standing in front of him and stretching out their hands to block him.
"No filming, no filming."
“…”
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Zheng Jie Xiu, who pulled Chen Hang over, started to drive him away.
Li Wenya and Shen Hang walked away with a smile. Zheng Jiexiu looked at their backs and said with gritted teeth, "This young man has such a bad heart."
After the lunch rush, Li Wenya sat down and interviewed Yu Hui and Qian Lan individually.
I also took a photo of the two of them sitting together.
Yu Hui was very relaxed when taking the photo, but Qian Lan was very nervous, and the photos looked very stiff.
But in order to save film, Shen Hang did not reshoot it.
"When the policy on self-employed businesses came out, some people opened barber shops, tailor shops, and shoe repair shops. Why did you want to open a noodle restaurant?" Li Wenya interviewed Yu Hui.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "They say food is the most important thing for people. I thought if I opened a shop selling food, the business wouldn't be too bad, so I opened a noodle shop."
“Why is it called Happy Noodle House?”
"Hmm..." Yu Hui mused, "I think having a full stomach and eating delicious food are both happy things. I hope that everyone who comes to the noodle shop can feel the happiness of having a full stomach and delicious food, so I named it Happy Noodle House."
Li Wenya said: "Eating the noodles you cooked really made me feel satisfied and happy."
Yu Hui smiled and replied, "It's my honor."
Then, Li Wenya interviewed Qian Lan.
"Why did you want to open a noodle shop with Boss Yu?"
Qian Lan looked at Yu Hui nervously, and Yu Hui smiled and encouraged her, "Just tell me what you really think."
Qian Lan licked her lips and said, "Because I don't have a job and I don't make any money at home. Although my husband is very good and hands over his salary, I don't make any money myself, so I still don't have the confidence to stay at home."
"When Xiao Yu approached me about opening a noodle shop together, I wasn't entirely optimistic. But since I didn't have a job anyway, and Xiao Yu suggested we just work, not pay, I decided to give it a try."
"If it works, that would be great. I can earn money, my family can have more income, and I'll have more confidence at home. If it doesn't work out, I won't lose anything."
"I didn't expect that Xiao Yu and I could actually do it." Qian Lan said while looking at Yu Hui, who smiled at her.
Li Wenya's interview was very limited. She only interviewed the noodle shop and did not conduct in-depth interviews on their backgrounds and families.
After the interview, Li Wenya and Shen Hang left.
Yu Hui and Qian Lan packed up, closed the shop at 3:30 and went home.
When closing time came, the bun shop was still open, and there were still three baskets of buns left unsold.
Seeing Yu Hui and Qian Lan finish their sales and go home, Zheng Jie Xiu's eyes almost bled.
By the evening, the bun shop sold half of the buns and gave them away for free, and finally sold out all the buns.
When I counted the money in the evening, I found that I had made a total of six dollars. I lost all the money for flour and seasonings, and only earned enough money to buy meat.
"Are we going to get buy two get one free tomorrow?" Wen Zhaodi looked up at her husband and asked. She was losing several dollars a day, so she was a little hesitant.
Secretary Wu nodded and said, "Keep sending. We agreed on a three-day deadline, so that's three days."
"Mom, the buns you made today taste pretty good. The meat filling doesn't have any fishy smell anymore. Keep up the quality."
Zheng Jie Xiu nodded and thought to himself: I put so many ingredients in it, it will cover up the fishy smell.
Secretary Wu said, "I believe that as long as we maintain our standards, we will be able to restore our reputation and improve our business."
Wen Zhaodi pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling unsure. Will things really get better?
Will they be unable to sell these buns once the buy-two-get-one-free promotion ends?
The cafeteria closed at 7:30 in the evening.
Secretary Zhou looked at the leftover steamed buns, rice, and some leftover vegetables in the kitchen and frowned, "Why are there so many leftovers today?"
The cooks and handymen in the cafeteria stood in two rows, many of them with an indifferent attitude, thinking that they had breakfast for tomorrow.
The leftovers in the cafeteria are not kept overnight. When they get off work, they are allowed to share them and take them home.
Chef Zhou frowned, "The bun shops and noodle shops that opened outside have a big impact on our cafeteria. There are fewer people coming for breakfast in the morning and for lunch at noon."
When Chef Zhou first learned that a noodle restaurant and a bun shop were going to open outside the staff compound, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would definitely not affect their canteen. However, he didn't expect that it would not only have an impact, but also have a quite big impact.
At noon, those who have finished work or school and do not cook at home would rather stand in line to eat noodles than sit down to eat in their cafeteria.
These days, there are a lot more leftover dishes and rice in the cafeteria.
