Chapter 156
The opening of Yueting's self-service feedback box was not specifically announced, and customers who saw it wrote it casually...
The opening of Yueting's self-service feedback box was not specifically announced. Some customers who saw it wrote in, while others did not.
Xiao Yue waited for a few days before collecting the papers in the feedback box and found that there were actually quite a lot of them, with quite a few words.
It would definitely be a time-consuming and laborious task for one person to read it, but since the paper was produced by the copy conveyor, it could certainly be sent back to the cabinet below to analyze what was written on it.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yue lay on the recliner and opened the system panel. He saw that the contents in the feedback box had been summarized.
There are two categories in total. The first category is——
[The hot pot is so delicious! 】
[When will the new desserts be released! 】
[The food at Yueting Buffet is definitely the best I have ever eaten in my life! 】
Xiao Yue was stunned to find that there were a total of ten feedbacks that could be displayed in this category, and there were some folded ones below, indicating that they all meant the same thing.
——Praise.
Xiao Yue: “???”
Feedback box, feedback... feedback on these?
Xiao Yue: “…”
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
Xiao Yue rubbed his nose and continued to look at the next sorted category.
Although the quantity is small compared to the previous one, some customers did give feedback, such as there are not enough hot drinks in winter, they hope to have more snacks, and also -
[I am a new customer. I heard from old customers that there used to be many delicious home-cooked dishes, but now they are not on the menu. So please, Madam Xiao, can you make the same dishes again? I would be willing to eat ten ice creams in cold weather and three hotpot meals in hot weather! 】
Xiao Yue: “…”
Let’s not talk about the first part for now, why does the second part of the sentence involve eating and taking?
Xiao Yue continued to slide the panel to look at the next one, the next one, and the next one... and then he found that the subsequent feedback was all about wanting to eat the old home-cooked meals.
Things like fried rice cakes, cola chicken wings, and fish fillet in sour soup were taken off the shelves relatively recently.
There are even more dishes like braised chicken, red chopped chicken and cold boneless chicken feet!
These were the first dishes Xiao Yue made when Yueting Buffet first opened.
The more she read, the more she found that these dishes had the highest demand, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
I didn't expect that...
But it is true that these dishes are the taste bud trump cards among home cooking. Except for those who can’t eat spicy food, there is probably no one who doesn’t like them.
In this case...
Xiao Yue touched his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, and after a moment he sat up straight.
good!
Then let’s make a bigger one!
——
In mid-November, Yueting Self-service Winter Activities arrived as the weather got colder.
This time it is an event for the West Street Home-style Flavor Shop, which is bringing back previous dishes and increasing the number of future home-style dishes to a full twenty-five!
The announcement also stated that in the future, the number of dishes will be increased or decreased between 25 and 30 as appropriate to ensure that every customer can enjoy their favorite home-cooked meals.
When the news came out, not only did the old customers recall the dishes they had back then and felt nostalgic, but the new customers were even more ecstatic than them.
"Oh my god! Can I finally eat that delicious braised chicken?"
“I heard the flavored eggplant is crispy and fragrant!”
"There are also garlic enoki mushrooms, shrimp and scrambled eggs, pork tripe and fresh vegetable soup. The last one is perfect for eating now!"
On the day the event started, not only did the price of the home-cooked dishes increase by half, but even the original price of fifty copper coins was halved to only twenty-five copper coins.
Now what's the reason not to go?
But when they entered the store, new and old customers found that not only the home-cooked dishes had been increased, but also about ten more kinds of hot drinks and snacks.
Citrus hot tea, brown sugar ginger jujube tea, fermented rice wine and roasted milk, pork jerky, instant noodles, soda crackers, soft candy, hard candy, lollipops, marshmallows...
It's attractive enough at first glance!
The line at the door kept getting longer and longer, and it felt like the shop was closing and we couldn't even get into the queue room.
The crowd was impatient.
Later, someone suddenly said loudly:
“The hotpot dessert shop has also added new hot drinks and snacks!”
This news should be true. After all, apart from the main hot pot desserts and home-cooked snacks, the drinks and snacks in both stores are the same.
The team became restless, some were hesitant about whether to go or not, while others were determined to eat home-cooked meals.
But in the end the team became a little loose, and some people left the team and ran straight towards South Street.
Well, no one can stop those people from eating snacks.
…
Just a few days after the event at Yueting Self-service Home-style Flavor Store ended, the hot pot dessert shop has launched new desserts again.
This time it’s a salty-sweet flavor, with sausage buns, ham biscuits, and pork floss cake rolls.
Each one has the right amount of salty and sweetness. The two flavors collide in your mouth with one bite, it's so wonderful.
At the same time as the new desserts are launched, the store also holds a small event where you can pick up a portion of stewed pear with wolfberry at the door when you enter the store.
It is served in a palm-sized steamer. When you open it, there is a round pear inside. When you remove the lid which has been cut off by one-third, you will find a full bowl of hot wolfberry, white fungus and pear meat soup.
The portion is not large, so you can eat it either inside or in the waiting room. Even a child can finish it easily.
As for why there is such a small event all of a sudden...
The wind is cold and the sky is gloomy at noon. It is particularly cold today. These are all signs that it will snow in the next few days.
So Xiao Yue thought about it and decided to launch new products today and also make the snow pear stewed with wolfberries warm people's hearts.
At this moment in the kitchen, Xiao Yue was putting ingredients into a row of hollowed-out pears, then closed the lids one by one and put them into the steamer.
This winter sweet soup does not require an all-in-one machine to make, a steamer is more convenient.
After the meal, Xiao Yue checked the snack inventory while waiting.
These new ones are as popular as the spicy strips. Due to the huge demand, she exchanged the existing ones directly from the mall.
Different from the past, when Xiaoyue launched new products, it had to consider the time intervals, placement, etc., but now Yueting self-service no longer needs to proceed step by step.
Just launch new products all at once!
There are also spicy strips, and I have to add some flavor in a few days...
Xiao Yue thought so, and after increasing the stock of various snacks, he threw a candy into his mouth and chewed it with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
It was not until the hot pot dessert shop closed that Xiao Yue was the first to leave the shop and get on the carriage.
Soon after, the carriage stopped in front of a tailor's shop.
Xiao Yue was originally walking down leisurely, but when she saw Lu Ran leaning out of the store, she hurried over to take her inside.
"Don't get caught!"
Lu Ran was stunned, a helpless smile appeared in his eyes, and he was also a little excited.
I wonder how happy the young master will be at that time.
——
Xiao Yue secretly went to the tailor shop with Lu Ran without being discovered by anyone.
Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan are busy running the hot pot dessert shop, and they are used to Xiao Yue tinkering in the kitchen.
Not to mention Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen who were in the home-style restaurant. According to Lu Ran, ever since a new stove was added and two sisters were sent from South Street to help, they have been happily teaching the new sisters and have no time to take care of other things.
Xiao Yue was relieved about this, but still a little nervous when he thought about what he was about to do.
That day, she was helping to make desserts in the kitchen of a hot pot restaurant, and she was completely absent-minded.
Just when Xiao Yue was about to leave and the door was about to close, Xiao Nuo came over.
"Sister Xiao, there's a young man looking for you!"
Um?
Xiao Yue looked a little confused. She took off her apron and walked into the hall. When she saw the person following Xiao Nuo, she was stunned.
"...Luo Zhi?"
"It's me."
Luo Zhi looked at her with a faint smile on his face, but a hint of bitterness could be seen in it.
Looking at what he was wearing, not only was the fabric thin in such cold weather, but the edges of his clothes also looked old.
"You..." Xiao Yue was a little slow to react. After coming to his senses, he said to Xiao Nuo, "The weather is cold. We won't be gathering these days. You guys should pack up and go home first. Remember to bring some food."
Xiao Nuo responded, glanced at Luo Zhi and scratched his head before leaving.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Yue brought Luo Zhi to the backyard where there were few people and asked casually.
Luo Zhi seemed a little uncomfortable. He looked around the backyard and said slowly, "I... later opened a dessert shop, which closed down a few days ago."
Xiao Yue was speechless.
If Luo Zhi was talking about the shop on South Street that was looked after by only one woman and treated an old lady so badly...
Xiao Yue suddenly lost interest, but still asked patiently: "Why?"
If it was Luo Zhi himself who set such a high price and condoned the woman's repeated bullying, Xiao Yue felt that there was nothing to say if the company went bankrupt.
Familiarity
Luo Zhi clenched his fists, half of his body trembling, not sure if it was because of the cold or something, and said, "My grandma... passed away. She was the only person who treated me well since I came to this strange place."
Xiao Yue was stunned, and then listened to him explain the whole process.
It turned out that ever since the Zhihuai Festival, Luo Zhi felt discouraged because he failed to rank in the top five. He was too embarrassed to come to Xiao Yue, so he did some other business, made some money, and bought a shop to open a store.
At the beginning, Luo Zhi naturally sold at a low price and business was good.
But the good times didn't last long. His grandmother in his hometown suddenly fell ill. Luo Zhi had to go back to take care of her. At the same time, he was in urgent need of money. Finally, he had no choice but to sell the shop and go back to save his grandmother...
"I was still a step too slow." Luo Zhi said in a low, hoarse voice, full of grief: "Grandma didn't make it."
Xiao Yue felt like something was stuck in his throat, and all those previous thoughts disappeared. He slowly said, "My condolences."
After a long time, Luo Zhi finally relaxed and raised his head with a sad smile.
"I'm much better now, but I'm a little confused all of a sudden. I, I can't find anyone to talk to. You're my only friend in this place, so..."
Xiao Yue's heart tightened, and she stopped asking about the attitude of the woman in the Zhixinzhiyi Cake Shop.
During that time, Luo Zhi returned to his hometown. Maybe the woman raised the price in order to help, but he didn't know her attitude?
Now that the shop has been sold, it is equivalent to the woman losing her job, so there is no need to delve into it further.
But Luo Zhi...
Seeing his forced smile, Xiao Yue asked, "You must have spent a lot of money to bury grandma, so what are you going to do next?"
She thought that if Luo Zhi wanted to reopen a shop, she might be able to help.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhi looked around at the dessert-making stuff and said sadly, "Maybe I'm really not suitable for opening my own shop. Why don't I come to work for you?"
"I heard that you recently launched a new dessert series. You know I'm very good at these things. I wonder... are you in need of a pastry chef?"
Luo Zhi turned his head with a smile on his face, as if they were back to the time when they were still at Linxiping during the Zhihuai Festival, and he was also so gentle.
This made Xiao Yue, who had not had such an idea originally, stunned and hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that apart from being the first official male employee of Yueting Self-service, there seemed to be nothing special about him.
While Xiao Yue was thinking, the anticipation on Luo Zhi's face turned into obvious uneasiness. She smiled and patted his shoulder.
"No problem, it would be great if you could come and help me make desserts!"
"good."
Luo Zhi smiled.
