Chapter 28
Preview: Yueting breakfast buffet is about to start
As the aroma filled the air, Xiao Yue mixed the side dishes and mutton evenly, and the fragrant cumin mutton was officially out of the pot.
She scooped spoonfuls of it into the incubator until it was completely filled.
The remaining amount in the pot is placed in the kitchen's spare thermal insulation tank for easy addition of food.
At this moment, there is only one cold dish left to be made on today's menu, which is the old vinegar peanuts that will replace the cold shredded vegetables.
This dish is not difficult to make. The only small thing to pay attention to is the step of frying the peanuts.
After pouring sesame oil into the pot, you need to put the round peanuts in immediately and let them soak in the oil as the temperature rises. This way, they will not become mushy and bitter when fried.
When the peanuts turn from pink to bright brown and are fried until crispy, you can remove them from the pan and let them cool for later use.
Xiao Yue did not scrape away all the oil in the pot, leaving a small amount and started to make vinegar juice.
This is the essence of old vinegar peanuts. It requires soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and half a ladle of water. Boil it over high heat until it becomes thick and can be pulled into threads, then you can serve it.
Xiao Yue brought over the chopped green onion and green and red pepper pieces that had been cut earlier, poured them directly into the thermal insulation tank, added peanuts, and finally poured the freshly prepared vinegar juice on top and mixed them evenly.
The old vinegar peanuts are ready!
For a moment, the sour smell that rushed into people's noses seemed to collide with the aroma of cumin lamb, and it was difficult to tell which was better.
"Sister Sanhong, do you want to try it?" Xiao Yue tidied up the dishes and looked at Fang Sanhong who was staring at her.
Fang Sanhong caught her gaze and coughed softly: "No, let's get ready to open the door!"
From the first day Yueting Self-service opened, she knew that Xiao Yue had good skills.
The braised chicken is fragrant and goes well with rice, the scrambled eggs with shrimps are tender and sweet, and every subsequent dish is a real hit with your taste buds.
Before, Fang Sanhong always had to queue outside, and could only watch the smoke coming out of the chimney and smell the faint aroma of food.
Who would have thought that one day I would be able to watch it up close?
Of course Fang Sanhong was greedy, but now she was a member of Yueting Self-service Restaurant, so she had plenty of time to eat - her main concern was that once she started eating, she would not be able to stop.
This expression allowed Xiao Yue to guess what she was thinking. With a smile in his eyes, he walked to the front room and opened the door.
"Sister Xiao!"
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao, Cheng Min, Li Xiong and others who were queuing in the distance became agitated as soon as they saw her.
"What did you cook today? I can smell the delicious food right here!"
"It smells so good, I've never smelled such delicious food before!"
“My mouth is watering!”
Xiao Yue's nose twitched. Sure enough, she could smell the spread of cumin here. She could probably smell it even if she was close to the door.
It seems that today's cumin lamb is better than the old vinegar peanuts.
Xiao Yue did not keep the secret and said loudly: "We have added new dishes today, one is cumin lamb and one is old vinegar peanuts. I guarantee that everyone will enjoy it!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone exclaimed "Wow".
But just as their anticipation was rising, they saw the cart used to carry vegetables automatically slide out from behind the door without anyone around!
Everyone was terrified.
Fortunately, the next second, a woman in an apron appeared, and it was she who was pushing the insulation tank.
Xiao Yue looked back at Fang Sanhong, nodded at her, and turned back to the kitchen.
Everyone at the door was stunned. They saw the woman push the dishes over steadily and put them away, then turn around and go back.
They looked at each other, and an idea came into their minds.
Yueting is recruiting staff on its own? !
In the front row, Li Xiong, Zhao Liang and Liu Meng looked surprised.
“This is not…”
Is it Fang Sanhong?
They often shared a table together a few days ago, but after that I heard that something happened to her, I haven’t seen her since. Now she appears in Yueting Buffet?
No matter how surprised everyone was, Xiao Yue was exceptionally relaxed this morning. He arranged all the food in a few trips, clapped his hands, and went to serve the customers in the queue.
Fang Sanhong followed out and stood aside, ready to meet the peak of her instructions.
The front row was full of old customers, all of them had a thousand questions in their minds, and when they saw Xiao Yue coming over, they all started asking questions at once, and they all said the same thing.
Did Yueting Zizhui really have someone to help?
Xiao Yue was naturally going to say it, and she sighed helplessly in her dress: "Of course someone has to help. Everyone is so enthusiastic, I have to ensure the quality and service, right?"
The old customers in the front row may feel embarrassed when they hear this, but they believe that this is not just a polite remark.
After all, who can’t see the purpose of the big umbrella placed in the yard?
The sun had just become bright yesterday, but Yueting Self-service appeared right after that today. How considerate.
Xiao Yue said, and took Fang Sanhong's arm, introducing her: "She is my sister, Fang Sanhong. She will work with me in the store from now on. If you need anything that I can't handle, you can ask her for help!"
"That's right, feel free to come to me if you need anything." Fang Sanhong was not shy and nodded solemnly.
Now she stands from a different perspective, facing the eyes of countless customers in the queue, and her sense of responsibility is unprecedented.
Xiao Yue's brief introduction gave the customers a chance to get familiar with the store. After that, he didn't waste any more time, collected the money and let the customers enter the store one by one.
She didn't even need to look back to know that everyone was heading straight for the cumin lamb.
When it was the sixth person's turn, Su Xiaoxiao, she handed over the money and laughed.
"Sister Xiao, I remember you said you would start making breakfast once we have help, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao's voice was not loud, but it could not stop the woman who was sticking close behind her and thinking about going in to eat. She was immediately shocked when she heard what she said.
"Early breakfast?!"
These two words came like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone in the queue behind to stick their heads out.
"What breakfast? Madam Xiao, are you going to make breakfast?"
“Is this true?!”
"Oh my god, I finally don't have to eat breakfast from other places!"
The story spread quickly, and before Xiao Yue and Su Xiaoxiao could react, the people in the back row had already heard the following version:
Yueting Buffet will be selling breakfast tomorrow!
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In order to prevent the rumor from getting further outrageous, he quickly raised his voice to interrupt the message.
"Everyone, don't be anxious! Yue Ting does have plans to make breakfast, but we have to wait two days before we can officially start!"
Now that the matter has been spoken out, there is nothing to hide.
Xiao Yue finally discovered that in this era without loudspeakers and she was not used to using gongs, she would have to develop a golden voice sooner or later.
Fortunately, as the boss, the customers took her words as the standard and the restlessness soon subsided.
But the content of the words is so heartbreaking that it makes anyone cry, and to exaggerate a little, it makes anyone beat their chest and stamp their feet.
“Why are there still two days?”
Everyone in the queue laughed and started discussing with great anticipation.
Xiao Yue withdrew his gaze and saw Su Xiaoxiao in front of him heaved a sigh of relief, as if she was regretting that she almost got into trouble.
"It's okay." Xiao Yue consoled him, "Is the announcement today different from the announcement two days later? You said before that I should be the first to tell you, well... now I am the first person in the team, right?"
How come I'm not the first to know?
Su Xiaoxiao understood the implication of her words and burst out laughing. She quickly put her annoyance behind her and moved forward curiously.
"Sister Xiao, what are you going to make for breakfast?"
This sentence was spoken in a very low voice.
Xiao Yue hesitated for a few seconds, and uttered a few words into Su Xiaoxiao's big eyes: "Keep it secret for now."
I told you in advance, so how can there be any surprises?
"Sister Xiao is really!" Su Xiaoxiao snorted twice and hurried into the store: "Then I will expect something sweet without permission!"
Xiao Yue burst out laughing, and glanced at the food pick-up area. He found that although Fang Sanhong was busy, her movements were steady, so he felt relieved.
…
"What?!"
In the Jixiang Restaurant, Zhang Mo's face turned dark when he heard what Zhang Shui said in his ear.
He was so loud that he naturally attracted the attention of the customers in the store.
Zhang Mo resisted the urge to overturn the table, strode to the kitchen, and saw Zhang Shui following in, and spoke word by word.
"What did you say? Yueting Buffet wants to prepare breakfast?"
"Yes!" Zhang Shui's face turned bitter. "I was wondering why it smelled better than usual... No, why was it louder than usual? I went over to take a look and found that the woman not only recruited people to help, but also said that she would make breakfast tomorrow!"
God knows when Zhang Shui heard the cheers from the people in the back row, he was completely dumbfounded and quickly ran back to tell his elder brother.
But he was stupid, and Zhang Mo was not much better.
After confirming that this was true, his eyes were blank.
Yueting is actually going to make breakfast?
Zhang Mo was originally worried about the customer flow and was hoping that Yueting Self-service would have problems and collapse first, but now he has received news like this!
What's the difference between this and blatantly stealing his business?
"Bitch!"
Zhang Mo's eyes turned red, and he kicked the stove hard, cursing with gritted teeth.
"Brother, what should we do?" Zhang Shui paced anxiously, he could not think of a solution at all.
After all, if they really wanted to make breakfast, how could they stop them?
Yueting Buffet is the most popular store on West Street in the past half month, and even the surrounding food shops have attracted customers.
After Jixiang Restaurant improved its business methods, many shops also followed suit and started serving breakfasts for no more than one hundred copper coins.
If Yueting buffet also wants to provide breakfast in the future, it will just be difficult to get along with the social etiquette.
Customers are absolutely delighted!
A cold look flashed across Zhang Mo's face, and he whispered after a while, "She used all means first, so don't blame me for being rude... Go and call Liu Qiao to me."
Liu Qiao was the one who echoed him last time.
"Why call him here now?" Zhang Shui didn't understand and looked at him with confusion.
Zhang Mo was too lazy to explain: "Don't worry about it. It's just a matter of money. When Liu Qiao comes, call Old Li and Sister Zhu from the end of the street..."
As soon as these two names came out, Zhang Shui immediately understood half of it.
These two people are the ones who followed the lead of the food shops on West Street to make changes. Recently, the breakfast restaurants have seen a slight recovery.
What if they knew that Yueting was self-service and also prepared breakfast tomorrow?
It will definitely be stopped!
The more Zhang Shui thought about it, the more he calmed down. He felt that his elder brother was really smart to have invited these two old foxes.
Great, there is help!
It wasn't them who took the initiative first, but Yue Ting who took action first!
After all, if Xiao Yue cooks lunch, he can definitely do it slowly according to what his elder brother said, and the customers will be theirs sooner or later.
But now, she actually wants to have a share of the breakfast?
It’s not that easy!
