As the sun rose, the oil mill workers arrived for work as usual.
Some people who hadn't eaten yet, or even those who were craving food, had already arrived at the door ahead of time.
I'm going to buy a delicious meal from Mo Yuan's breakfast stall.
Although spending two or three cents on a meal feels a bit painful, it's not something I eat every day.
The taste is indeed quite good, so it's very popular among oil mill workers, especially young people who aren't under much financial pressure and can afford to spend some money to satisfy their cravings.
In this era of material scarcity and limited enjoyment, I was still quite happy!
Therefore, Mo Yuan's breakfast stall became a very important place in the hearts of the oil mill workers.
But today, everyone suddenly realized that something was different!
Surprisingly, another stall has appeared at the factory gate, which looks like it's also selling breakfast.
At first, no one cared, after all, Mo Yuan's reputation was already established. Regardless of whether people thought it was too expensive, everyone shared one thing: Mo Yuan's stall...
Every kind of food is delicious!
Therefore, the employees who were used to it were still happy to go to Mo Yuan's small stall.
Seeing that business had not been affected, but rather that the other party was quiet and deserted, apart from a few people peeking out to ask questions, there was no one sitting down to eat!
Second sister Hongxia was also overjoyed, puffing out her chest like a proud rooster.
The stall quickly became busy!
But the good times didn't last long; an accident happened.
Yang Guozhong, the head of the factory's security department, stood at the main gate and pointed to the stalls across the street, saying something to the workers.
Immediately, many people went to the stall across the street to support it.
This delighted Mo Yougan, finally breaking the deadlock.
They started enthusiastically introducing their products: "We also have fish soup and meatball soup, as well as pickled fish. Not only that, but everything is cheaper. Meatball soup is eight cents, fish soup is thirteen cents, and pickled fish is forty cents a pound!"
Upon hearing this, the customers realized that they had only come to patronize the establishment in order to curry favor with the head of security.
Surprisingly, the same items are much cheaper here than there.
"Hmm, Uncle, you seem like an honest and kind person, not one to make money dishonestly! How could this stuff be so expensive! Give me a bowl, mixed!"
Mo Dayong, standing to the side, said in a muffled voice, "Didn't you hear what my dad said? Fish soup and meatball soup, what do you mean by mixing them? There's no such thing!"
Seeing this, Mo Yougan quickly shooed Mo Dayong aside. This kid is more trouble than he's worth!
I'm finally getting off to a good start on the first day, so please don't ruin it! We're here to sell things and make money, so we need to be nice!
While reassuring the guests, she gestured to her daughter to serve the food, explaining, "I know, I know, 'liangchan' means fish soup with meatballs! Xiaoli, take it over here!"
Anyway, with this start, and hearing that it's much cheaper than Mo Yuan's place, many people who were hesitant to ask for a talk due to the high prices have finally found something to talk about!
"Let's go! Let's eat at the new stall. It's run by my father-in-law in the security department, so it's definitely a good choice! Plus, it's cheap and they won't rip us off!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
...
A significant number of people were diverted at once, and of course, some were dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong from the security department.
Same old story, even if it's a bit more expensive, you still have to come all this way.
After all, its taste and reputation have already been proven!
So although Mo Yuan's place was much quieter today, it wasn't deserted!
Even so, the second sister, Hongxia, still pouted and hadn't prepared any nice words!
"Pah! Shameless! Stealing business like this, they just can't stand to see others do well!"
After speaking, she looked at Mo Yuan with concern.
"You need to think of something quick! They're selling the same things as us, but for a lower price. This can't go on!"
The dog chimed in with concern from the side!
Mo Yuan remained unmoved. How could it be the same? He, Mo Yougan, had only watched for a while and learned how to eat it after a short time.
To perfectly replicate something you've made? Unless he's a god!
"Sis, don't panic, let the bullets fly for a while!"
"What are you saying? I can't understand you. Speak like a human!"
"Well, just you wait, the show's about to start!"
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Yuan finished speaking...
A commotion broke out at the stall across the street.
Although the fish soup and meatball soup looked similar to those at Mo Yuan's place,
But the five-spice braised fish is clearly different! It looks like ordinary stewed fish, and some people have noticed that not only is the taste and appearance significantly inferior!
That's not all. Soon the customers discovered that the soup base for the fish balls was also not good. If that's the case, then there's really no need to be greedy for cheap prices!
For a moment, everyone hesitated, thinking, "We can't eat here tomorrow!"
That wasn't all. As time went on, some people finally couldn't help but start complaining.
Although some people came out of respect for Yang Guozhong, not everyone had to curry favor with him, the head of the security department.
"Hey, what are these meatballs? They crumbled the moment I touched them, they're all mushy in the bowl! How am I supposed to eat this?! What kind of meatball soup is this? It's just a mushy mess! Give me my money back! I want to eat across the street!"
Mo Yougan was furious when the idea of getting a refund came up. A refund? That would be the death of him!
He hurriedly smiled and said nice things, but Mo Dayong, who was holding his breath behind him, wouldn't stand for it.
He never wanted to do this shameful work, but his father forced him to learn a skill, and he was furious.
Seeing someone daring to cause trouble at their stall, they couldn't help but say, "If you can't afford it, don't eat it! You want a refund for something that costs only a few cents? Can't you afford to live?"
That immediately angered the other party.
"Who can't afford to live? What are you selling? Is this stuff even edible?"
I pointed to the big pot next to me, and sure enough, all the meatballs had been cooked for too long and had turned into a mushy mess.
After saying that, the person stopped talking about refunding the money and stormed off in a huff!
He went straight to Mo Yuan's stall and ordered another serving of mixed vegetables.
Instead of sitting at the table, he squatted by the roadside, facing Mo Yougan's stall not far away, and proudly picked out a whole meatball.
He ate with gusto, saying, "Mmm, flavorful and chewy, this is what meatballs should be like! Delicious! Even though it's two cents more expensive, I still have to eat this kind! I can't spend money to suffer!"
A lot of people were drawn over in no time.
Mo Yuan was also full of admiration for this unexpected and lively advertisement!
He gave a wink to the dog and his second sister not far away.
Seeing the constant stream of new customers, the two of them finally managed to smile!
They quickly got busy!
However, Second Sister Hongxia and Gouzi were still a little confused about the reason behind this.
Mo Yougan, who sat at the stall across the street looking equally puzzled, was also confused.
The pot of meatballs I just put in the pot has completely changed.
I racked my brains but still couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it.
He clearly learned from Mo Yuan; he just saw Mo Yuan trying to save time and effort when he was busy.
The meatballs were all put in the pot and cooked.
How did things turn out this way when I tried to imitate them?
Why is that?!
