Chapter 16
Yueting Buffet welcomes the most customers for the first time
"Of course." Xiao Yue understood when she saw that he was not going to pay: "But if you want to eat just this, you may have to wait a little while. I have to let all the customers in line in before I can cut the pieces and serve them on the plate for you. Please forgive me."
The new customer was stunned when he heard this.
He thought he would see an unhappy expression on the boss's face, but he didn't expect him to be so calm and natural.
This made Cheng Min feel a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said "OK" before walking in. After walking a few steps, he looked back.
Xiao Yue didn't notice his expression. Seeing that the next customer was an acquaintance, he greeted him, "Brother Li, we have a new dish today, Mapo Tofu. It's definitely your favorite flavor!"
"Really? Then I have to go and try it right away!" Li Xiong smiled, paid the money and strode in.
He went straight to the food pick-up area to look at the new dishes on the menu and their corresponding locations, and found Mapo Tofu effortlessly.
The bright red color and the fragrant smell of sesame are really tempting!
Li Xiong didn't even think about it and immediately filled a large bowl.
After taking all the food he wanted to eat, Li Xiong picked up two large steamed buns and then went to find a seat to sit down with the tray.
When Li Xiong passed by the man queuing in front of him, he felt jealous.
The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he can also eat crispy duck with taro paste!
"Excuse me..."
As the two were about to pass each other, Cheng Min, who was standing in the yard waiting, asked in a low voice.
"Is this restaurant really only selling for fifty? Are they going to charge you for the dishes and seats after you finish eating?"
Cheng Min is an old gourmet in Liuyun City. He thought that this seemingly cheap but actually fake restaurant routine might fool other people, but he would never be fooled.
But within half a minute of entering, he saw customers rushing in one after another, with faces showing pure love for the food...
Why doesn't it feel like a trust?
Li Xiong understood what he meant and immediately laughed. He put down the tray and patted his chest.
"Brother! If you trust me, I'll be honest and won't lie. This restaurant will only sell for fifty yuan! And the taste of each dish is so delicious that I drool even in my dreams!"
"Is it true? It's so exaggerated?" Cheng Min looked towards the food pick-up area with a suspicious expression.
The place was already surrounded by customers who arrived later, but the expected chaos and scramble did not occur. Even though they were eager to eat, they still took turns to get the dishes.
Cheng Min was stunned, and when he saw someone coming over with their food to look for a table, he consciously stepped aside a few steps.
But the aroma of the food on the man’s tray seemed to drift straight into his nostrils.
At the door.
After Xiao Yue collected the money from the last customer, he turned around to look at the lively scene in the store and felt very happy.
Luckily she put a few extra tables in before opening, otherwise there definitely wouldn’t be enough seats!
Xiao Yue secretly rejoiced and noticed the new customers standing at the door of the front room. Knowing that they were waiting for the limited dishes, he walked over quickly.
"Sorry for the long wait, I'll bring the food right away!"
Xiao Yue walked into the kitchen. Unlike yesterday when she had deliberately displayed the food for publicity, she cut the food into two portions and handed them out one in each hand to the new customers.
Therefore, the food was delivered very quickly. After the first batch was served, Xiao Yue had an apologetic smile on his face.
"The dishes are all gone for now. Please forgive me. A new batch will be baked soon. Please wait a moment if you haven't received any!"
Cheng Min, who was a step slower and didn't get his order because he was watching the food pick-up area, was stunned. Seeing that the others didn't get angry, he went aside in frustration and continued to wait.
It was dinner time and people were eating everywhere.
Not only were there clinking sounds from the dishes and chopsticks, but the fragrance was also wafting in wisps, making Cheng Min unable to help but salivate.
…It’s only fifty dollars. Is it really that delicious?
Cheng Min forced himself to control his hunger, and with a glance, he saw a familiar figure and immediately exclaimed.
"Su Xiaoxiao?!"
Not long after.
Xiao Yue prepared a new round of crispy duck with taro paste and served it to the waiting new customers.
After the people at the door had given their food, Xiao Yue looked around the yard and asked loudly, "Who else hasn't received the limited-edition dish?"
“Me, me, me!”
"Boss, this, this!"
"And me!"
Xiao Yue delivered the dishes one by one. When she delivered the last portion, she found that the man was eating so much that he couldn't even lift his head. The other girl at the same table was also busy showing off.
"Your crispy duck with taro paste is here." Xiao Yue put the dish down and reminded him.
Cheng Min swallowed the food in his mouth and said vaguely: "Boss, please be careful. Let me finish eating first and then I will call you to pay..."
After saying that, he continued to eat the pepper chicken with his head down.
Su Xiaoxiao on the side laughed out loud, and said happily: "I told you, is it delicious?"
Sungmin just nodded frantically without opening his mouth to respond.
Xiao Yue couldn't help laughing and recognized the two men.
The first one was the first person in line today, a new customer who planned to receive the limited-edition dishes for free; the other was a young girl who just came yesterday and was also a new customer.
As a result, the two of them are enjoying their meal very much!
Xiao Yue shook her head slightly, returned to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, and only thought of one sentence in her mind -
There is no one who would not fall for the delicious food of her motherland!
…
Today, Yueting Self-service Restaurant recorded the highest number of visitors since its opening.
Xiao Yue was almost unable to collect all the empty bowls, so he had to exchange for a new batch of bowls and chopsticks. After adding all the prepared dishes in the kitchen, he also cooked a few dishes in another pot.
For example, pepper chicken, dry-pot shredded cabbage, and shrimp and scrambled eggs.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long and soon all the dishes were served to the customers’ satisfaction.
But the dishes were added, and at that time there were new customers coming outside to get limited dishes, and there were people queuing up to enter the store, so Xiao Yue was very busy.
Fortunately, after the last order of dishes, there were fewer customers in the restaurant and it was almost noon.
Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and watched the guests leave after eating and drinking their fill.
"Girl!" An old lady asked loudly as she left, "Do you have any more free dishes tomorrow? I'll bring my granddaughter to try them!"
Of course, other restaurants in Liuyun City also have this kind of activity, but they are basically small plates that can be finished in one or two bites.
The old lady has been to so many stores, but this is the first time she has seen such a large amount. Shouldn’t she bring more people to collect some?
Xiao Yue could see what she was thinking, so he answered loudly, "Yes! There is still one more day for the event tomorrow, so you can bring your granddaughter to taste it!"
No matter who comes to Yueting Buffet, she is the one who makes the money. As long as the food tastes good, who can guarantee that they will never eat here?
After hearing Xiao Yue's assurance, the old woman left with satisfaction.
There were only two people left in the store at the moment. Xiao Yue cleared the tabletops of other tables first, and then started cleaning up quickly after everyone had left.
She had expected that Yueting's self-service business would become more and more popular, but she didn't expect it to be put on the agenda today.
Although he was happy, Xiao Yue was too tired. He didn't have much energy to eat. He collapsed after finishing his meal.
She didn't deal with the chicken feet either. She rested for most of the day before opening the system panel to check the points.
Obviously, Xiao Yue was not mentally prepared enough, because at the moment the total points were -
15400.
Xiao Yue closed her eyes and opened them again, the number did not change, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly curl up.
Before she could lift her head to the sky, she quickly controlled herself and her expression became as if it was a common occurrence.
Stay calm.
You must stay calm.
This is only the second day of the event. There will definitely be more people tomorrow, and there will still be points by then, and they will increase in number.
If she gets this excited every time she sees her points increase, how many times will she get excited?
Just get used to it.
Xiao Yue pulled the quilt to cover his head.
The next second, there were bulges and squirming sounds under the thin quilt, as if something was madly snatching away at the pupae.
Soon, the quilt was lifted again, revealing Xiao Yue's calm eyes, messy hair, and unstable breathing.
She calmed down for a moment and summoned the system panel again to go on a shopping spree.
…
Man proposes, God disposes. The next morning, Xiao Yue heard the sound of thunder in a daze, and the second sound woke her up completely.
She was startled and quickly got up and opened the door, only to see that the entire backyard was wet.
The sound of rain in my ears was so loud that it felt like a handful of soybeans being scattered. Not only did it make a rustling sound when it hit the ground, it also caused a dull pain when it hit my body.
Because Xiao Yue came to his senses and lifted the dustpan in the corner, he ran to check the dishwasher and steamer in the yard, and was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with them.
Xiao Yue cleaned up the things in the backyard that were caught in the rain. When he returned to the room, his nose felt itchy and he sneezed.
The air temperature dropped suddenly, and Xiao Yue felt cold. He quickly put on an extra layer of underwear, and a worried look appeared on his brows.
What a horrible weather!
Wasn't everything fine yesterday?
This is the last day of the free food event. With the sudden heavy rain, I’m afraid the customer flow will be reduced by half!
Xiao Yue frowned, thought for a while, summoned the system panel, and began to look for the awning he had seen before.
Got it!
Xiao Yue stopped and looked at the appearance of the awning in the picture on the panel - wooden poles, a grass-like top, and a fine internal structure that was not easy to collapse.
This kind of awning should not be too obtrusive when placed in the yard.
Of course, no matter how abrupt it was, Xiao Yue couldn't care less, business was the most important.
Xiao Yue walked through the kitchen, opened the door of the front room, and found that there was no one walking on the road. He took the opportunity to exchange the awning worth four thousand yuan.
Because it is a system product, it is very intelligent and close to the front door.
Xiao Yue only needed to pull the remaining telescopic poles over and prop it up in the yard.
An awning can just cover the entire yard. It is very sturdy and spacious, and the height is not oppressive. Listening to the sound of rain hitting the roof gives you a sense of security.
I don't know when the rain started, but the front yard is a mess at this moment.
The ground and the table were wet, and branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground. When you get close to the big tree, you can smell a fresh scent of earth.
Fortunately, the wind was not strong and did not blow everything everywhere.
Xiao Yue spent nearly a quarter of an hour cleaning the front yard and wiping all the tables and chairs clean.
Back in the kitchen, she would start preparing food for the day.
No matter how many customers there are or whether they come or not, as long as Yueting Buffet is here, of course it has to open for business.
Due to today's weather, Xiao Yue thought about it and made a bucket of ginger soup.
It is not ordinary ginger soup. She added some brown sugar so that the taste is not too spicy and more acceptable to the general public.
Xiao Yue thought about today's menu last night, but they were all stir-fried dishes, so now of course they have to be changed according to the weather.
After all, it suddenly rained and the temperature dropped sharply. It would be great to have a bowl of hot soup at this time.
Xiao Yue thought about it and decided to make a pot of meat and vegetables, a heart-warming dish - pork belly and vegetable soup!
The pork tripe is a system product, so the fishy smell is not that strong. It can be simply rubbed and cleaned with flour and salt, then put into a pot with cold water, and blanch with onion, ginger, pepper and rice wine.
During the process, Xiao Yue prepared the side dishes, including red dates, wolfberries, yam, broccoli...
Soon, the pig's stomach was blanched.
Xiao Yue poked it in with chopsticks, took it out and rinsed it with cold water. This way, the temperature would drop and the shape would be fixed, making it easier to change the knife and cut it into pieces and then into strips.
The pig's stomach was quite large, and Xiao Yue took a long time to cut it and filled a whole pot.
She put down the knife, heated the oil, and stir-fried the pork belly and ginger together. When the two smelled fragrant, she poured in boiling water. The soup and oil collided and instantly turned into a light white color and rolled in the pot.
Then Xiao Yue added a handful of red dates, covered the pot with a lid, and let the pig's stomach stew.
It would take at least half an hour. During this time, Xiao Yue took out a pot of potatoes, peeled them, cut them into pieces, and put them into the steamer.
She planned to make another dish of black pepper mashed potatoes, which was sticky, soft and thick, which was particularly suitable for today's weather.
