As soon as the restaurant opened, Xu Ying placed the braised food directly next to the cash register. She stood to one side and shouted to everyone, "The braised duck food is officially online today.
Duck wings, duck feet, duck necks, duck clavicles... we have all of these. Today, new products are available. Buy duck products and get a small plate of vegetarian dishes for free."
As soon as Xu Ying shouted, Gao Guihua curled her lips in disgust. She really had the air of a capitalist, which was really embarrassing for the people in their state-owned restaurant.
Those who had eaten duck food a few days ago were immediately excited when they heard Xu Ying shouting over there. They licked their lips and missed the taste of that day: "Master Xu, give me two of each of these duck feet, duck heads, duck wings, and duck intestines."
"Okay, I'll give you a small plate of vegetarian dishes. The duck is two dollars in total. Let's pay here."
"Oh, it's so expensive. Pork is only a little over 80 cents per pound, and this small plate of duck is so expensive. This duck is just meat with bones. What's so delicious about it?" The woman felt distressed when she saw it.
But the customer who just bought it didn't care at all: "This duck is delicious, sweet and spicy, very satisfying, and can also be eaten as a snack. It's so comfortable to eat this with a little wine."
Some people just like to eat and don't care about the price.
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Duck products are a bit more expensive, but they are delicious, and it is troublesome to make, and the cost is not low. Duck heads and duck wings are cheap.
But a lot of ingredients are used in it, and the seasonings are all traditional Chinese medicine, which are all costs. The duck still needs to sit for two full hours before it is cooked.
Pork is cooked in a hot pan and it is definitely not comparable to this.”
The old woman still felt that this was a bit expensive and shook her head, but didn't say much.
The other customers were not affected by the old lady. After buying breakfast, they lined up here to buy duck products, intending to take them back for their wives and children to taste.
"Give me some duck products. I want five of each. I have a big family and I can't share them all." The eldest brother at the back was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy them, so he shouted as soon as the man finished choosing.
Everyone else has tasted the delicious duck and now they can't wait to fly over and have a bite.
"Give me five of each, and pack me a portion of this vegetarian dish."
The vegetarian dishes taste good too, and everyone who has eaten them likes them.
Those who were well-off ordered more meat, while those who were not well-off ordered more vegetables.
Director Hong was also curious about today's duck goods. It was only after Zhang Caiban came back that he realized that this girl was so bold.
He had signed a long-term cooperation agreement with another county. If he went back on his word now, not only would his reputation be damaged, but he would also have to pay liquidated damages. He had been worried and anxious these past few days.
Today the duck products started to be sold, so he got up early, had a morning meeting, and then came here.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw a long line and noisy noise next to the cash register, so he walked over with curiosity.
When he saw clearly that these people were here to buy duck products, he suddenly became excited. He liked Xu Ying even more when he saw her. This girl gave him another big surprise.
Some of the people who came to buy ducks were also leading cadres. When they saw Director Hong, they all smiled and said, "Old Hong, you really had a good eye to find Xiao Xu for your restaurant.
Every time this girl cooks something, it makes people's eyes light up and it is so comfortable to eat. Have you tried this duck? It is so delicious. "
Xu Ying saw Director Hong coming and pointed to the large iron boxes in front of her with a smile: "Director Hong, here we have five-spice flavors, mild spicy, medium spicy, and very spicy. Take a look and see which one you want."
Having experienced the pain of the spicy last time, he said without hesitation: "Which one is slightly spicy? Let me try this one."
"Okay." Xu Ying picked up a plate of slightly spicy food for him.
Director Hong did not delay her from continuing her work. He excitedly walked to the side with the duck and found a corner to eat it.
The degree to which everyone liked this duck was even more terrifying than Xu Ying had expected.
Finally, Director Hong was directly pulled in to help.
Dozens of kilograms of duck products were sold out at 2 p.m., and some people who didn’t buy any looked regretful: “You made too little duck products.
We haven't even eaten yet, and it's gone."
Xu Ying looked apologetic and said, "Thank you for your love for our duck products. We will have duck products every day in the future, but duck meat is in short supply, so everyone can only buy on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you missed it, we can come back early tomorrow."
These people left disappointed and could only come earlier tomorrow.
Director Hong was also busy and sweating. He finally got some time to rest. He sat on a chair and looked at Xu Ying with admiration on his face: "You are really capable.
A few days ago, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sell all the duck products I bought, but I didn’t expect that there wouldn’t even be enough.
Then why don't we talk to them and ask them to buy more goods?"
Xu Ying shook her head: "Scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many of them, they won't be anything new. Let's take it slow first and make our duck products famous. Then we won't have to worry about lack of customers in the future.
Moreover, with so many people, our store can’t satisfy so many people at all.”
Director Hong suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this: "So you mean you want every restaurant to sell this braised food?"
Xu Ying nodded, but the recipe was hers and she would not give it away easily.
Director Hong also knows the importance of recipes, especially good recipes, which some families have passed down from generation to generation.
He suddenly felt guilty: "Xiao Xu, is it suitable for other restaurants to sell this? This is the recipe you researched."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Director Hong, to be honest with you, this recipe was passed down from our ancestors and cannot be passed on to others.
But now you have seen how popular this duck is, and you have also tasted its deliciousness. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a delicious delicacy.
Some people have bought pressed duck and spent it overseas to earn foreign exchange for the country. I don’t have that much ability, but there is nothing to lose by trying.
Why don't we negotiate a cooperation with the food factory and give them the duck recipe, but they have to pay me the salary I deserve."
When Director Hong heard this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Ying changed instantly.
This girl has quite a big appetite.
But Xu Ying is right, pressed duck can earn foreign exchange for the country, and their duck tastes no worse than pressed duck.
They are just a state-owned restaurant selling meals, how can they be as powerful as a large enterprise like a non-staple food factory.
If we can really generate foreign exchange for the country, it will be a great contribution to the country.
Xu Ying was also gambling, betting whether Director Hong was greedy and kept the recipe for himself, or selflessly helped her get it to the non-staple food factory.
Fortunately, she won the bet. People of that era were very simple and honest, and they all had their motherland in their hearts. In order for the country to grow rapidly, they did not allow themselves to have any selfish thoughts.
They knew that the country at the moment needed them to work together and unite. Director Hong looked at Xu Ying helplessly and said with a smile: "Okay, let's do as you say."
