The busy lunch hour finally ended, and Mingyue was finally able to sit on a chair, drink some water and take a rest.
Although there were no long lines at her food truck, there was a constant stream of office workers coming and going to order food.
From the moment lunchtime began, she seemed to be caught in a never-ending whirlwind, so busy that she couldn't even spare a sip of water.
She finally understood why the staff had said that the dining car was a good exercise.
In this seemingly cramped space, it is no easy task to simultaneously produce a variety of delicious foods and ensure that they can be continuously supplied to customers. Not only that, but you also have to keep an eye on the inventory of ingredients and supplies and quickly replenish them during each short break. What's more, you will encounter some unexpected situations.
Thinking of this, Mingyue couldn't help but admire Ms. Mei. Ms. Mei must have gone through untold hardships in the dining car, a stage full of challenges and opportunities. Through day after day of honing her skills, she has developed extraordinary and superb skills. In the end, she was able to stand out from the fierce competition and successfully win the championship.
The customers who came to the food truck to order food today were all busy office workers. Mingyue remembered that many of her customers were either carrying thick documents and hurriedly bought some food to take home; or they were answering the phone and taking the time to order some food to fill their stomachs.
Obviously, for these busy guests, their biggest demand is just one word - fast!
Based on her observations, she decided to adjust the menu accordingly.
After all, customers in such a hurry don’t have the extra time to carefully consider what toppings to add, so she believes it is necessary to launch a series of dishes that do not require customers to choose the ingredients themselves to meet the needs of office workers for quick meals.
"Xiaoman Bread, what's the most popular item for customers today?"
"No rice balls, meow."
"There are also a lot of people asking for burritos, and a lot of people want chicken burritos."
Sure enough, Mingyue found that many office workers were on a diet control diet, and rice-free rice balls were a healthier choice for them, so she planned to separate rice-free rice balls into a separate category.
Mingyue picked up the notebook and started writing and drawing on it.
First, let’s list the main types of food currently available on food trucks.
【No rice balls】【Wraps】【Rice balls】
Then continue to refine it, first list a more detailed menu without rice balls.
【Vegetarian Rice-Free Balls: Vegan Rice-Free Balls with Only Vegetables 6m
Ingredients: Hummus, cucumber sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper sticks, roasted eggplant, seaweed]
【Chicken and vegetable rice balls: Chicken and vegetable fat-reduced rice balls 7 meters

[Meatless Rice Balls: Rice balls with lots of meat, a must-have for meat lovers. 9 meters
Ingredients: Shredded lettuce, shredded cucumber, shredded egg pancake, luncheon meat, grilled chicken, black pepper beef, crab sticks, seaweed]
This time, Mingyue also wrote down the ingredients in the dish to help customers make better choices.
After finishing writing, Mingyue suddenly remembered another note.
"Xiao Man, please help me make a separate sign that says '+1 yuan for a free lemonade'. Make it more eye-catching."
"The menu for the rice balls is ready. You two can take a look at it. If it's ok, we'll also make a menu sign."
Lemonade is cheap and easy to make, and this food and drink combination should be more attractive to office workers.
"No problem!" Xiaoman and Mianbao began to make the brand according to Mingyue's requirements.
Mingyue continued to think about the burrito.
【Vegetable wrap 6 meters
Ingredients: shredded lettuce, shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, bell pepper strips, chopped tomato, chopped avocado, wrap]
【Vegetable Chicken Burrito 6m

【Muscle-building egg pancake 8 meters

"The menu for wraps is ready too." Mingyue handed the written menu for wraps to Xiaoman and bread.
Then comes the rice balls.
【Salted Egg Yolk Pork Floss Rice Ball 5m
Ingredients: salted egg yolk, pork floss, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice]
【Kimchi Beef Rice Ball 5m
Ingredients: kimchi, black pepper beef, shredded lettuce, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice]
【Cheese meat rice ball 10 meters
Ingredients: Cheese slices, braised egg, pork floss, grilled sausage, grilled chicken, black pepper beef, shredded cucumber, pickled radish, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice]
The rice ball menu has also been finalized, and of course the à la carte option is still retained.
Mingyue, Xiaoman and Mianbao made a new menu together, then put it away, closed the windows of the dining car, pulled up the blinds, and finally cleaned the dining car with magic.
"Okay, the food truck is closed today, let's go for a walk in the forest."
It was already past two o'clock, after lunch time, and Mingyue was ready.
The business hours of the dining car lane are from 10:00 to 16:00. The reason for designing the business hours in this way is, firstly, to avoid congestion during peak traffic hours, and secondly, office workers and tourists will choose to eat something better for dinner instead of choosing snacks from the dining car.
