There are more than twenty kinds of staple food in the store, including dumplings, steamed dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, buns, pies, sauce-flavored cakes, leek boxes, etc.
Although it looks like there are many varieties, there are actually only four kinds of fillings: radish and meat filling, cabbage and meat filling, mixed vegetable vermicelli, and leek and egg filling.
Han Zeyu has been eating in the cafeteria since he was in junior high school. As a senior taster with more than ten years of experience in the industry, he is well versed in the various routines of the school cafeteria.
It's nothing more than a new name for the same thing, especially when it comes to breakfast. All pasta can be classified into two types: unleavened dough and leavened dough.
Take the store’s biggest contributor, the chive and egg filling, for example. By wrapping it in different doughs and making it into different shapes, it can become six different delicacies.
Of course, the reason why this filling is so popular is that eggs are good things. In the hearts of ordinary people, their status is second only to fat meat. It is said that eating more can nourish the body.
As a sports student with a huge amount of training, Han Zeyu is not so keen on eggs because he ate too many in his previous life, especially egg whites.
The store also has salty tofu pudding and rich sugar-free soy milk. Don’t ask why no sugar is added, as it may hurt your feelings.
There’s only half a pound of brown sugar in that big bucket of eight-treasure porridge in the store, it’s just for the color!
Han Zeyu, a conscientious boss, said, "Be content with just a little sweetness!" Do you know how expensive brown sugar is?
There are only three types of porridge in the store. In addition to the slightly sweet eight-treasure porridge, there is also the golden millet pumpkin porridge.
Don’t ask why pumpkin is added, because it looks good, takes up space, is cheap, and most importantly, it can reduce the cost price of millet porridge.
Let’s take a look at the only salty porridge in the store, the popular pickled mustard greens and shredded pork porridge.
Xuecai is a kind of pickled vegetable called "Xuelihong". It's so good! Every family will pickle a big jar of it during the winter, but no one uses it to make porridge. In fact, everyone is reluctant to use it to cook meat.
Even though there are only traces of lean meat in this porridge, the addition of meat makes it different, it is definitely the finishing touch.
People who do manual labor like salty foods. They especially like the pickled mustard greens and shredded pork porridge and the slippery salty tofu pudding.
I didn’t feel satisfied after drinking one bowl, so I had to have another one, but my stomach seemed to be unable to hold any more.
Oh! I planned to just have the meat pie, but why did I end up drinking several bowls? This stuff takes up so much space!
It’s all my fault for not being strong-willed. When I see these things I’ve never eaten before, I want to try them all. I’m so disappointing.
Boss Han, a conscientious merchant, nodded with great satisfaction, feeling very happy with everyone's performance.
When it comes to buffets, everyone wants to make their money back, some even want to eat until they have to walk with the help of a wall. But apart from those talented professional players, do you think any athlete can really make their money back?
Do you think Han Zeyu is a relative who contracted the canteen and cut corners?
Do you think he is a chef who is extremely ferocious when wielding a kitchen knife to chop meat and flipping the wok?
No, she is the auntie who serves food at the cafeteria window. Her hands are shaking very well, and she controls it precisely and firmly.
Why would such a stingy person open a buffet? Is he looking for trouble?
Han Zeyu will proudly tell you: "No, I am fulfilling my dream!"
In the past, when they went out to improve their meals, they most often went to various buffet restaurants. It can be said that the prices of buffet restaurants around the school were completely raised by these sports students.
Now that he has become the owner of a buffet restaurant, it is finally his turn to control others!
Not only the fellow villagers in the store but also passers-by were severely controlled by him.
There was a big pot of fragrant bone soup stewing on the stove near the door of the store. When the breeze blew, passers-by naturally stopped and were attracted.
The new store is having a big opening promotion. Within half an hour, you can enjoy all the delicious food in the store for only ten cents.
Everyone watched at the door for a while and saw that the room was full of people. They ate without raising their heads or opening their eyes, their mouths full of oil.
Who could resist this? It's just a matter of ten cents, why not go in and try it?
There was a constant stream of customers in the store, and the people in Yunshan Village felt proud of it. When they were full, they would return their plates to make room for other customers.
Even if he wanted to eat more, he would feel embarrassed to sit down when he saw his companions got up and left. He hurriedly ended the battle, fearing that he would be left behind.
Su Shien came forward to see off all the villagers of Yunshan Village, thanked them for their hard work during this period, and hoped that there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
This made everyone feel quite embarrassed. The scholar was just being nice. It was obvious that they had received a lot of wages and had eaten meat and vegetables for so many days. They were the ones who should be grateful.
As a representative of the villagers, the village chief thanked Xiucai Gong and Yu Ge'er for their hospitality and said that if they needed any help from the villagers, they could just let him know.
After a few more words of conversation, the village chief felt that he had learned enough knowledge, so he quickly asked everyone to return to the village and not bother with other people's carriages this time.
Everyone ate a lot, so it was a good opportunity to walk back to digest the food.
On the way, everyone was still discussing: the steamed buns were soft, the meat pies were greasy, the chive dumplings were delicious, and the eight-treasure porridge was sweet...
The food from this meal is enough for them to brag about for a year when they go home. If they save some money, they can take their family to try it when they have the chance.
…
When Su Shien returned to the store, it was already closed and most of the food was gone. The few remaining items, some of which were damaged, were gathered together and eaten as employee meals.
After half a day of comparative observation, it was found that meat pies and pot stickers, which are made with oil, are more popular.
This is not surprising, after all, ordinary people can only eat greasy and meaty food during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
The price of meat is not low, but the price of oil is higher than pork.
There are three common oils on the market: animal oil, soybean oil, and peanut oil.
Animal oil is the oil extracted from animal fat, mainly lard, because oxen cannot be slaughtered at will, and there is not much fat on other animals.
The most commonly used oil in ordinary people's homes is animal fat, and they use it very sparingly.
As for the two vegetable oils, soybean oil and peanut oil, they are not something that ordinary people can afford.
Han Zeyu only recently found out that in this dynasty, soybean oil is actually more expensive than peanut oil. How can this be justified?
…
We received a total of seventy-eight guests today. After counting the materials used and calculating the labor costs, we concluded that we didn’t make much profit, it can be said to be negligible.
There are discounts for opening the business, and profits will naturally increase after resuming normal operations.
After comprehensive consideration, the price of the buffet breakfast is 14 cents per person. Each person is limited to two meat-filled pies, and the rest of the food is free to eat.
On this basis, an all-you-can-eat tier was added for 19 cents, which not only included unlimited meat pies but also a free tea egg worth 3 cents for each person.
Everyone was puzzled as to why buffets were limited in quantity?
Boss Han said: The routines are interconnected, the traps are endless, there is no conscience, and losing money is absolutely unacceptable!
