Chapter 24
Limited edition... Why does this word sound familiar?
This step is not the end. If you want the tiger skin eggs to be flavorful, you need some spices.
Xiao Yue scooped out the eggs, added cinnamon, star anise, ginger, onion and dried chili peppers into the pan with oil in it, stir-fried them until fragrant, and then put the eggs back into the pan to cook.
It won’t take too long, then add soy sauce, sugar and beer that half covers the eggs.
After closing the lid, Xiao Yue picked up the small jar of beer and took a look at it.
This is naturally something that can be exchanged in the mall. In order to fit the background of the times, the packaging has even been changed. It is now a palm-sized earth-colored wine jar.
You know what, it’s quite unique.
Unfortunately, Yueting Self-service is still in its early stages of development. Even though the mall has many things that can be put on display without any processing, it still has to proceed step by step.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yue opened the lid.
The strong aroma of sauce hits you in the face. At first glance, the eggs are all sauce-colored, and the wrinkles of the tiger skin are full of juice, which is very tasty.
Xiao Yue picked out the condiments with chopsticks, then added water starch twice to thicken the soup. When the soup became completely thick, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds and it was ready to be served.
I was delayed for some time in the morning, and it is almost done now, with only half a quarter of an hour left to opening time.
Xiao Yue opened the door, pushed the things out hurriedly but steadily, and then went to the door to collect the money.
Now as Yueting Buffet becomes more and more famous, not only has Xiao Yue become accustomed to the business model, but the customers waiting in line are no longer shocked by the prices and deliciousness, and at most they just sigh in their hearts.
Even new customers who came for the first time, after understanding the store rules, lined up quietly and steadily, and there was no case of queue cutting.
Soon, the first batch of customers came into the store.
Xiao Yue glanced at the crowd of people gathered in front of the food pick-up area. Without going to confirm, he returned to the kitchen to get out the prepared dishes and replenished the empty bowl of crispy duck with taro paste.
Not only this, stir-fried beans and tiger skin eggs are also very popular.
When Xiao Yue came out to replenish the vegetables for the second time, Su Xiaoxiao hurried over and helped her carry away the small basket for collecting money.
"Sister Xiao! Please concentrate on cooking and don't keep everyone waiting. Leave this to me!"
Seeing this jumping figure, Xiao Yue burst out laughing, and he felt relieved to let her help him.
To be honest, if Su Xiaoxiao's dress and behavior didn't show that she was a wealthy lady, Xiao Yue would have wanted to ask her to come to the store to help.
This lively character really makes him a lovable little treasure.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue now has the best candidate, and they can plan to launch the breakfast series as soon as she arrives!
The weather is fine today and the store is crowded with customers.
When Xiao Yue was collecting the bowls, he soon saw an empty thermal tank, which contained the crispy duck with taro paste.
As expected, it was another sold-out day.
This is the third time we've added more food. I think the customers who wanted to eat have almost finished their meal. If we add more food, we're afraid they won't be able to sell all of it.
Xiao Yue thought about it and went back to the kitchen to order the last two servings of crispy duck with taro paste.
As expected, there were fewer customers coming to take the pieces this time, and the last few pieces were successfully taken away by Cheng Min.
It was almost noon when Xiao Yue finished his work and came out to take the money basket from Su Xiaoxiao.
The two chatted for a while, and then a familiar figure came from a distance.
It was Fu Xunzhou.
Xiao Yue noticed that he glanced around and stopped when he saw an empty table in the yard.
She raised her eyebrows and walked over.
"The ginger and jujube porridge that the young lady made yesterday was very effective." Fu Xunzhou naturally withdrew his gaze and spoke in a gentle voice.
More than good?
Fu Xunzhou sweated a lot last night, luckily he didn't listen to A Lin and take other medicine.
His body didn't need to do the same.
"Really? No wonder Mr. Fu looks so good today." Xiao Yue complimented him and took the money he handed over.
"boss!"
At this time, a voice came from a distance, and a young man ran down from Yanting Bridge with an excited tone.
"Boss! I'm a new customer. I heard that you have some limited dishes for new customers?"
Limited dishes?
Isn't this event over?
Xiao Yue was stunned by this, but then he came to his senses and found it funny. He explained, "Of course there is, but the promotion is over. It's now officially on the menu. It just sold out today. Would you like to try something else?"
The event has been over for two days, and this person is too slow to spread information. When did you "hear about it"?
“I see…”
The young man was visibly disappointed, but fortunately it only lasted a few seconds. He looked into the store and took out money.
"I also heard from my relatives that your food tastes good. Since that dish is gone, I will try other dishes!"
Xiao Yue took the money and watched the man look around with curiosity as he walked in. He couldn't help but sigh at the influence of this event.
Then after she finished sighing, she found that Fu Xunzhou was still standing next to her, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Master Fu, aren't you hungry?"
Fu Xunzhou opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but at this time another person came to the door.
"Madam Xiao! I'm late today. Are there any new dishes?"
Xiao Yue turned around and saw that it was an old customer. He smiled and said, "It's not too late, the dishes are still available! Today we added stir-fried beans and tiger skin eggs..."
“That sounds good!”
Seeing Xiao Yue talking to the customer, Fu Xunzhou pursed his lips silently and walked in, with a hint of hesitation between his brows.
Limited edition?
I seem to have heard this word somewhere before...
With this doubt in mind, Fu Xunzhou did not look up at the menu when he walked to the food pick-up area. He took more stir-fried beans when he saw them, his eyes still lost in thought.
On this side, Xiao Yue watched the last old customer enter the store and began to collect the empty bowls.
From the front room to the front yard, guests finished their meal and left one after another.
Only Fu Xunzhou sat quietly in a separate seat in the front yard. Even the last old customer who came in left with a burp, as he still hadn't finished his meal.
As if sensing her gaze, Fu Xunzhou looked up and said, "Miss Xiao, did I delay you?"
It was clearly an apology, but for some reason, Xiao Yue could sense a hint of innocence.
"No, there is no delay. The shop is open until 3 p.m. every day. It does not close immediately at 3 p.m. Usually, we have to wait until the last customer leaves before we can completely close the shop."
The guests are here, so why would Xiao Yue urge them?
This is a self-service model. There have been waiting situations before. It was basically because customers took too much and couldn’t finish it, so they needed to slowly finish it before leaving.
There are fewer of them these days.
However, Xiao Yue would have waited before, so she wouldn't have urged Fu Xunzhou now.
"So that's how it is." Fu Xunzhou understood, nodded, and then slowly started eating.
Xiao Yue didn't have any thoughts in his mind and continued to clean up the remaining two tables in the front yard.
Knowing that she had just finished wiping the table, she saw Fu Xunzhou, who had been pretending to eat slowly, stand up.
"Master Fu, have you finished your meal?"
Xiao Yue asked doubtfully, and he only answered, then he raised his empty bowl and paused: "You don't have to take it, just let me do it!"
She remembered that she was the one who collected the bowls from Fu Xunzhou yesterday. At that time, Xiao Yue was worried about Fang Sanhong's health and didn't have time to stop him.
But nothing happened today. As a shop owner, what's the big deal about her asking customers to clean up their own dishes?
"It's okay." Fu Xunzhou put the bowl into the dirty bowl trough as he did yesterday, and said in a light tone: "I'm free today."
As he said this, he went to stand in front of the last uncleaned table, his expression seeming as if he was thinking. Then he rolled up his sleeves and began to collect the dishes.
Xiao Yue: “???”
Xiao Yue was dumbfounded for a long time, then came to his senses and stepped forward to stop him: "No, I really don't need your help!"
But she couldn't persuade him at all. The situation was the same as Fang Sanhong who insisted on helping yesterday. At that time, the dishwasher could stop her, but now she just has to rely on her mouth!
Although Fu Xunzhou's movements were slow, one could tell that he was serious and careful.
With no other options, Xiao Yue could only clean up together.
You know what, with an extra hand, things really go a lot faster.
In just a short moment, not only the table, but also the floor was cleaned neatly, which looked comfortable.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fu, for today." Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and spoke sincerely.
Fu Xunzhou shook his head, looked directly at her heroic eyes, and asked casually, "I wonder what dishes the girl will cook next, and will there be a limit on the quantity?"
Limited edition?
The focus of this sentence is obviously these two words, but Xiao Yue didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question.
It sounded like Fu Xunzhou felt that there were some limited-edition dishes in the store, but the promotion for the crispy duck with taro paste was over and added to the menu, so as the last customer, he should know about it.
Xiao Yue was confused for a few seconds, then he remembered what he had given him the day before and suddenly understood.
"You mean the dessert?"
Fu Xunzhou paused, and before he could explain, Xiao Yue made a "hmm" sound and waved his hands embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, the snacks are not limited! It's just that I didn't have time to make new ones because of what happened to Sister Fang yesterday. I'll bake them after dinner. I guarantee they'll be available tomorrow!"
Biscuits are not a staple food, and customers basically come here for a filling meal, so even if the store is empty, not many people will pay attention to it.
Xiao Yue was only asked about this by Su Xiaoxiao today, and she was told that the product would be back on the shelves tomorrow.
I didn't expect Fu Xunzhou to ask in a roundabout way. It seems that he likes the taste very much?
"Eat?" Fu Xunzhou, who was just asking about the limited dishes, frowned and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Xiao Yue blinked and said, "I've been busy with the store, so I don't have the time. I ate after closing the store."
She said it naturally, but Fu Xunzhou's brows did not relax, instead he pursed his lips tightly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this before. I'll come earlier tomorrow and won't keep you any longer..."
"It's okay!" Xiao Yue interrupted him and said jokingly, "If you come earlier, you can't have a table by yourself."
Fu Xunzhou was stunned.
Yesterday he said he would come earlier, but he didn't do so due to health reasons.
When Fu Xunzhou arrived, there were fewer people in the store, but it was still as crowded as it was during peak hours.
He doesn't like being crowded with people, so he had to come late today and find a separate table.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue noticed it.
Fu Xunzhou was speechless for a moment.
That was fine, but when he learned that Xiao Yue needed to close the restaurant before eating, he suggested that he come earlier, but Xiao Yue was considerate of him, worried that he might not be used to it...
Xiao Yue didn't know what Fu Xunzhou was thinking, and said in a nonchalant tone: "As long as the store is not closed, Mr. Fu can come whenever he wants. It won't take up much time."
Besides, there was no delay.
Fu Xunzhou is just a guest, and every guest has his or her own habits.
For example, there are people who insist on having eight acquaintances squeezed into one table, people who have empty bowls piled up as high as an arm, people who think the benches in the store are too hard and bring their own soft stools every day... There are too many of them.
As a boss, why does Xiao Yue care about these harmless things? Besides, could she really be so stupid as to starve herself?
After that, when Fang Sanhong officially comes to help, the two of us can clean up faster and have dinner earlier, right?
Unexpectedly, Fu Xunzhou still frowned and thought after listening, and said for a while: "Miss Xiao doesn't care, but I feel bad in my heart. How about this, I will help Miss clean up more in the future."
He thought that it was not enough to just ask A Lin how to collect the bowls, he needed to learn more about how to run a shop.
"What??"
Xiao Yue was confused and wondered what kind of help? What kind of help? It can’t be like today, right?
Without waiting for her to ask, Fu Xunzhou nodded and said, "Miss, please eat quickly. I won't disturb you anymore." Then he walked across the yard and left quickly.
Xiao Yue stretched out Erkang's hand and shouted "Hello", but in the end she failed to stop that resolute figure.
Seeing the man walking away, Xiao Yue was confused.
Logistics, she lowered her head and looked at the sink full of dirty dishes. If they had eyes, they would probably be staring at her.
After a long while, Xiao Yue sighed.
Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
Half an hour later.
After having eaten and drunk his fill, Xiao Yue started kneading dough in the kitchen. The three colors corresponded to the flavors of milk, matcha, and chocolate.
She didn't plan to add more flavors because in addition to cookies, she was planning to make another snack today.
Dried fruits.
