Chapter 25 Old customers still like to eat
Shen Qingyue only glanced at it, then looked away and put her things in order. These days, plastic bags are not as cheap as they are in later generations.
Shen Qingyue was reluctant to buy it yesterday, and when she needed it, she was in a hurry and asked her elder sister to go buy it for her.
Today, I quickly bought thirty bags while the steel plant workers were still at get off work.
I bought a few clean lunch boxes and rinsed them with clean water. If anyone has a lunch box, I can rent it and leave a deposit of the cost price!
Uncle Zhuangzi was planning to do the big job of moving, and he would leave as soon as he put his things away.
There were only the two sisters. Although they were few in number and the place was not big.
But it still attracted a lot of attention. Shen Qingyue and her team were doing brisk business yesterday, and everyone saw it.
In the past, everyone knew that there was a canteen in the steel plant, but out of respect for the canteens in state-owned factories, no one dared to go there rashly.
Who would have thought that Sister Shen Qingyue, like a newborn calf fearless of a tiger, would start selling lunch boxes, and her business was better than anyone else present. These small vendors were jealous. Some of them were tempted.
But the only one who really took action was the noodle stall owner.
The others were left behind and felt extremely regretful. How could they have fallen behind?
Soon, the lunch break bell at the steel plant rang, and many people rushed out.
Shen Qingyue took advantage of the situation and quickly opened the lids of all the food.
The aroma wafted far from here, especially the sweet and sour fried chicken bones. The pungent vinegar smell was so captivating.
It attracted many people to come over and ask: "How are you selling it?"
"Fifty cents per portion, mixed grain rice plus three dishes." Shen Qingyue said quickly.
"Give me one serving." The passers-by didn't intend to buy anything, but once they smelled the aroma of the food, they couldn't walk anymore.
The spicy tofu seemed to be covered in an alluring red oil. The minced meat and eggplant looked delicious just by looking at the color. The sweet and sour chicken bones were even better.
Opening soon!
When yesterday's old customers rushed out, Shen Qingyue was surrounded by people.
It was finally their turn.
He was ordered to serve food today.
The discussion was already heated before break time, and the team leader was curious and said he would join them today. Everyone chipped in for a boxed lunch.
When it was the turn of the returning customers, I saw that the dishes were very different from yesterday.
After a meal yesterday, he acted like a seasoned foodie and said, "50 cents for each dish, and three wraps with more of that roasted pepper sauce!"
"Okay." Shen Qingyue agreed happily. This was a big customer. He bought nearly six yuan worth of food alone, and Shen Qingyue ordered a full order of each dish.
When returning customers saw the sweet and sour chicken bones, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva and asked, "How did she come up with this?" Chicken bones are leftovers that people in the county don't like to eat, so how come they become so delicious in her hands?
The people next to him saw him buying things as if they were free and asked, "Dude, what are you doing?"
The returning customer said, "I bought some yesterday. If I didn't buy enough, it wouldn't be enough. Let me tell you a trick. Let's go to the cafeteria and just get some rice. Then eat it with this dish. Oh my god, it's so delicious. I won't tell anyone else about it."
Seeing that he had bought so much and was enthusiastically sharing his experience, the person next to him asked, "Hey, which one is the most delicious?"
But returning customers said, "Don't worry, all her dishes are delicious."
After carrying the things, Shen Qingyue packed three sweet and sour chicken skeletons in separate plastic bags.
A normal portion is two yuan. "Here, you bought a lot, so this is a bonus. This is sweet and sour, so it's a good snack."
The returning customer was delighted when he heard this: "That's great!" He was just running errands. He hadn't expected an extra gift. As a third-level fitter at the steel mill, he had plenty of money, but the way they did business was so unnecessarily flattering.
As he walked away, he saw a lunch box vendor nearby and wanted to go over and buy a couple to compare which one was better.
Unexpectedly, he brought so many dishes over. When the noodle shop owner saw him coming, she immediately closed the lid of her lunch box and said in a very rude manner: "Don't look if you don't want to buy anything."
Hey, this sentence made the man very angry: "How can you do business like this? I wanted to buy it. But with your attitude now, I don't want it even if it's given to me."
Although the noodle shop owner quickly closed the lid, he still saw it.
I don’t know if they were reluctant to add oil to the dishes or what, but the soup was watery and had no color at all. I didn’t look at it appetizing.
Compared to the bustling Shen Qingyue's stall, there were hardly any people looking at her stall, and those who looked didn't buy much.
The returning customer took his food home. His extravagant display had attracted many people's attention. Some were so bold as to ask, "Where did you buy it?"
"It's right outside. It's delicious. It's the one with the most people."
With his enthusiastic promotion, several people became curious and bought it with money.
When this repeat customer bought the food, he looked at their table and saw a bowl of rice in front of each person, but no vegetables at all!
Seeing the man coming back with the food, everyone turned around and their eyes were shining green.
The cafeteria that accommodated 3,000 people just now finally made a fool of themselves.
Everyone passing by had to take a look. Even the flight crew leader saw them and asked what was going on, almost wanting to pay for their meal. They thought they were being punished for their poor performance.
After all the dishes were placed on the table, there were ten dishes, which looked much more sumptuous.
"Eat quickly, there's minced meat in today's eggplant."
The people at the next table couldn't help laughing when they heard this. The food at the state-owned factory was good, and they could eat as much as they wanted from the big chunks of braised pork. How could they be so happy about the minced meat in their order?
Everyone else couldn't help drooling when they saw it. After waiting for a long time, everyone quickly started eating.
The white rice paired with a bite of minced meat and eggplant was so fragrant and delicious. With my remaining consciousness, I could only say, "This eggplant is amazing! I can eat it for a month and never get tired of it!"
The team leader was close to the sweet and sour chicken skeleton, so he picked up one and took a bite. The rich sweet and sour flavor of the chicken skeleton, coupled with the fried meat firmly attached to the bones, was really delicious.
The team leader didn't care about his manners anymore. He quickly collected the remaining plastic bags and said, "I'll have this with wine when I get home."
The person next to him was trying hard to eat spicy tofu, but when he heard what he said, he immediately stopped and said, "You want to eat alone?"
"no."
When everyone saw the team leader start protecting the food, they thought it must be delicious. After all, the team leader was only five years older than them, and they were used to being disrespectful, so everyone rushed to grab it, and by the time everyone got a piece, it was gone.
No one can resist deep-fried chicken bones.
The workers at the state-owned factory usually had nothing but delicious food to eat. Now, everyone gathered around the chicken skeleton, chewing it meticulously, even cleaning out the tiny pieces of meat on it. Every bite was rich in sweet and sour flavor.
There is only so much meat on the chicken skeleton, and even if you gnaw on it finely, it will eventually be finished. One piece is not enough to gnaw on, and I almost complained to the buyer: "Why don't you buy more?"
“It smells so good.”
