Chapter 90 Big Bowl Rice Trial Operation

There was a large table at the entrance of the store, with six large basins placed on it in order. Cai Dongmei also put a large basin of cooked rice next to it.

Ye Muqi took two large bowls and filled them with dishes. The two meat dishes alone filled half a bowl.

"Grandma, remember to take these two bowls back home in the evening." Ye Muqi filled two bowls full of dishes and said to Cai Dongmei.

This was specially left for Cai Dongmei and her grandson.

We had agreed before that we would leave two portions for them to have for dinner.

"Yes, okay." Cai Dongmei agreed. Looking at the two big bowls of food, she felt a little moved. Just one bowl was enough for her and her grandson to have a meal.

"Grandma, I'm going out to hang up the sign." Ye Muqi said, and walked out with the sign he had prepared in advance.

The sign was prepared yesterday, with the menu and prices already written on it. Ye Muqi chose the most conspicuous spot and hung the sign there.

By noon, more and more people were on the street. Ye Muqi moved out another table, put a pile of empty bowls on the table, and ordered a sample dish and placed it outside.

Not long after the items were put out, a lot of people gathered outside the store. Some of them looked familiar. They were regular customers who came to the store for breakfast.

"Grandma Cai, this store is now serving lunch!" A regular customer looked at Cai Dongmei and greeted her with a smile.

"Ah, that's right." Dongmei nodded with a smile and greeted them: "All of these were made by Xixi. Why don't you come in and try it?"

When these people heard that it was made by Ye Muqi, they were all a little interested. The most important thing was that the sign said 1.5 yuan per person. When they looked at the dishes that looked very attractive, they were really tempted.

Workers who were taking their lunch break came out on the street. Without even looking around, they subconsciously walked towards the store, preparing to buy bread as usual.

Some workers were walking by the store and smelled the fragrance coming from the store. When they saw several people gathered outside the store, some of them couldn't help but stop.

"This... can you really eat all these dishes for $1.5? Can you eat meat and vegetables too?" someone asked in disbelief.

After all, in other restaurants, it takes at least one piece of stir-fried mustard greens, and there isn’t much meat.

Ye Muqi thought about the fact that when they first started selling big bowls of rice, the two side dishes were both real meat dishes, one was braised pork, the other was sweet and sour spare ribs, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

"Of course it's true. It's 1.5 yuan per person. If you're not full, you can add more. Of course, the premise is not to waste it. Eat as much as you can." Ye Muqi explained.

In fact, big bowl meals are just like buffets. Although there are big eaters, they are a minority after all. On average, you will definitely make money.

You can eat as much of the six dishes as you want, and it only costs one dollar and fifty cents. Even if the taste is not good, the price is cheap, not to mention that it smells so good. It's a good deal no matter how you think about it. The workers who usually can only eat bread were immediately tempted.

"Give me a bowl." Smelling the aroma coming from the store, someone couldn't help it and handed Cai Dongmei 1.5 yuan.

Cai Dongmei gave him a bowl and chopsticks, and several regular customers came forward, took their bowls and went into the store to get their food.

After a while, a man came out with a bowl. The big bowl that had just been empty was now full, with a lot of meat in it.

Ye Muqi asked him to sit on the chair that had been placed outside in the morning.

Cai Dongmei's breakfast shop is too small and there are not enough seats inside. Regular customers have long been accustomed to eating out.

"Brother, eat as much as you want and eat until you are full." Ye Muqi said to him with a smile.

Those who were still waiting and watching saw that it was not fake, swallowed their saliva, paid the money, and took the bowls to the store to get their food.

The store is too small, and it becomes a bit crowded when more people come. Gradually, there is a line at the door. Fortunately, it is just for food, and you can leave after getting it, unlike breakfast, which requires waiting for a long time.

Ye Muqi thought about it and decided that he could use the stove to keep the food warm and move the dishes outside to cook. If he did it both ways, the process would be faster.

The stove is also ready-made. You can stew the side dishes in the morning and use them directly without having to buy anything extra.

Cai Dongmei took the money and smiled widely at the sight of so many people coming to support her.

Gradually, many people sat outside, but the seats inside the store were empty with no one sitting there.

"Isn't there still room in the store?" Ye Muqi was a little confused and asked another worker who came out with a bowl in his hand.

"Oh, I just got off work and I'm very dirty. It's fine for me to sit outside." The worker smiled kindly at Ye Muqi.

There was no table outside, just a stool, but the workers sitting on the stool ate very contentedly.

Ye Muqi couldn't help but think of what he had seen before, where these workers were squatting outside the store eating bread.

"It's okay, you can sit in the store, it's not dirty." Ye Muqi couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, it's okay." But the worker smiled at her and still sat on the chair outside.

There were many workers sitting outside the store, each holding a large bowl filled with dishes, eating with gusto. Workers passing by couldn't help but come over when they saw this.

When they saw that all the people here were their co-workers, they couldn't help but start chatting with them.

"Hey, how come you all got to eat today?" someone asked a co-worker he was familiar with.

Many workers eat bread for lunch, and it is really surprising to suddenly see so many people sitting here eating.

However, when these people stood here, they couldn't help but snort and smell the fragrance of this place. Some people have already started to get tempted.

"This big bowl of rice costs only $1.50 and you can eat as much as you want." Someone said, showing the meat in his bowl to the other person, "This braised pork is absolutely amazing, so delicious!"

The bowl, which was almost as big as my face, was half filled with meat, and even the white rice was covered with gravy. It was much more than the usual stir-fried dish I ordered, and I could get more after I was done.

The workers who came later could not resist the temptation, so they paid their money, took their bowls and went into the store.

More and more people came to the store to eat big bowls of rice, almost all of them were workers from the nearby area, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

"The store can add some more chairs. There are not enough seats." Cai Dongmei smiled particularly happily today.

Ye Muqi went in to check on the dishes a few times, and seeing that there wasn't much left, he stopped collecting money, otherwise the customers who were still eating might not have enough.

On the first day of trial operation, Ye Muqi did not prepare much, but the dishes prepared in the store were sold out before lunch was over, and the last few dishes were added up, leaving nothing behind.

"I think the workers will spread the news tomorrow. Our big bowl of rice will definitely be a hit!" Ye Muqi said with a smile.
