Who knew that before she could even prepare lunch, the shop in front was packed with customers.
Mrs. Ye was concentrating on cooking and didn't pay attention to what was happening in the other side of the kitchen at first.
Luo Dongxiang came over and asked her, "Madam You, the dumplings we made this morning are all sold out, and the wontons and cold dishes are all gone too.
"Although we still have noodles and dumpling fillings, there are so many customers in the store that we don't have enough time to make them now."
"Ah?" Mrs. Ye was shocked when she heard that.
Recently, the store's customer flow has been relatively stable. We always make more dumplings in the morning to ensure there are not enough or someone comes to buy raw dumplings to cook at home.
Occasionally, when there are more customers, Luo Dongxiang and Cao Yuelian are both very skillful. The dough and stuffing are ready and can be wrapped and cooked quickly.
In such a long time, the dumplings made in the morning have never been sold out so quickly!
And when she heard Luo Dongxiang say that there were too many customers in the store, Mrs. Ye didn't even think about herself. She thought that today was some holiday that she didn't know about, so everyone went out to eat dumplings?
"You guys wrap it first. I'll come to help you after I finish cooking this dish." Mrs. Ye was stirring with the spatula in her hand while she was talking.
Unexpectedly, Luo Dongxiang said, "Madam You, you should go to the store in front first. Even if you are included, we probably won't be able to handle it!"
"And I'm already too busy? You're exaggerating!" At this moment, Mrs. Ye had just taken out the dishes from the pot, wiped her hands on her apron, and prepared to go to the store to check the situation.
As a result, she was scared when she saw it.
The store, which was not too small to begin with, was already packed with people.
As far as she could see, there was not a single empty chair or stool. Many guests who obviously did not come together did not bother to be particular and most of them sat at the same table with others.
As for the other empty spaces in the store, they were now filled with people waiting for a seat.
Mrs. Ye looked outside the door again and found that there were still many people blocking the way outside and had not come in at all!
She grabbed Yan Fei who was passing by and asked in a trembling voice, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people here?"
"Madam You, these people came here because you won third place in the cooking competition!" Yan Fei's voice was hoarse, and he was so busy that he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face.
"Madam You, it seems like everything edible in the kitchen is sold out. Please think of a solution!"
"Didn't you just say that there were still some wontons left..." Mrs. Ye was numb at this moment.
"A customer just ordered the last bowl of wontons, and I was just about to go to the kitchen to bring it over!"
"So many people came because of me?" Mrs. Ye's face was still full of disbelief.
"How about I ask the guests for you?" Yan Fei said helplessly.
"No, no, goodbye. I'd better go back to the kitchen and make dumplings."
Mrs. Ye quickly ran back to the kitchen while no one noticed her.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people suddenly pouring in?"
Yan Fei followed over and brought the last bowl of wontons. Hearing this, he said, "I heard that this was because someone in the palace posted notices all over the capital this morning, listing the top ten chefs and the names of their respective restaurants.
"You are at least third place. If this were an imperial examination, you would be the top three winner!
"This is just the beginning. Once the news on the notice spreads, there will definitely be more people coming to eat dumplings.
"Also, people have been asking me why the store only has dumplings and wontons, and why there are no stir-fries or other food."
"I'm already overwhelmed with just this, and if I add all the other stuff, I'll be exhausted to death." Sister Ye came to the main hall in a daze and said to her family, "Everyone, hurry up and eat. After dinner, come to the kitchen to help. There are too many people in the store right now, and the kitchen is simply overwhelmed."
When the Ye family heard this, they immediately sped up their eating speed. In no time, they all stood up, wiped their mouths, and said they were full.
When the dumpling restaurant first opened, there were no kitchen helpers yet, but the Ye family had already come to help make dumplings.
This is actually no different from making dumplings at home, except that there are more types of fillings.
Old Mrs. Ye brought her second and third sisters-in-law to help make dumplings, two of them making dumplings and one making wontons.
Boss Ye, Second Ye and Third Ye were not idle either. Boss Ye, who knew how to wrap dumplings, went over to help.
The remaining two brothers started chopping the stuffing and kneading the dough.
Judging from the current situation, there might be more people coming at night than at noon.
It never goes wrong to prepare in advance.
So the Ye family members crowded into the kitchen, cooperated with each other, and started working in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Ye was so busy that she couldn't even lift her head. She didn't forget to say to Mrs. Ye: "Second wife, go back and make clothes quickly. Don't be busy with us here."
"Sister-in-law, there's not much time left. I'll help you deal with the lunch guests first.
"Besides, all my clothes are in the Cen Mansion, and there's nothing I can do right now. I'll just help you wrap them for a while. It's okay."
Everyone was talking, and no one dared to delay the work in their hands.
Although there is strength in numbers, there are still too many guests.
Later, it was Madam Lu who came over to help and suggested, "Yan Fei, your family lives nearby. You should quickly find a few reliable aunts to help you. Tell them that Madam You will pay them."
yes!
Madam Lu's words really woke me up from my dream.
