Chapter 85
Chen Kangle, who was busy at the main store in Jiangdong New District, received photos of the scene from the branch staff. The branch was full of customers as soon as it opened. Chen Kangle was very satisfied with so many customers on the first day of opening.
Originally, diners in the suburbs thought that with the establishment of a branch in the city, there would be fewer customers in the suburbs, so they would not have to wait in line for a long time.
As a result, they found that the number of guests in the suburbs did not seem to decrease at all, but instead showed signs of increasing.
"Aren't all those downtown diners in the downtown branch? Why are there so many people here?"
"Don't mention it. A few days ago, the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant was shortlisted for the finals of the "Searching for Food in Haishi" event. The official released a promotional video, and the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant has become popular again. Many people from the suburban areas have come here, and they come and go. It is possible that there are not many people."
"I doubt that even if Kangle lunch opens 10 branches, the number of customers at our main Jiangdong store will not decrease. Everyone just needs to get used to it. It will be our turn soon."
The Kangle Lunch Box Jiangdong store is bustling with activity, and the Chengzhongcun store is also bustling with activity.
In addition to the original regular customers, some passers-by also followed suit and went in to eat.
Han Bingxia is an ordinary office worker living in a village in the city. A few days ago, she discovered that a box-food rice restaurant was about to open downstairs. She just took a few more glances and didn't take it seriously.
This morning, Han Bingxia saw her landlord promoting Hedian Restaurant on her WeChat Moments again, so she swiped past it. When she came back from work at noon, she passed by Hedian Restaurant and found that it was full of people, and there were still many people queuing.
She looked into the store curiously and found that the prices of this box lunch were quite cheap. She suddenly wanted to try it.
Han Bingxia ordered the dish recommended by the Heyan Restaurant today: beef with scrambled eggs. The aroma of egg and beef filled the air.
As soon as she sat down, Han Bingxia couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of rice, then a spoonful of beef with scrambled egg, and put the beef, scrambled egg and rice into her mouth together, and she was absorbed in one bite.
The beef is tender and elastic, and the scrambled eggs are light and smooth. It’s super satisfying after one bite.
Han Bingxia was completely stunned. It was totally unexpected that the food in a box lunch restaurant in a village in the city could be so delicious.
On the first day of opening, Kangle lunch boxes attracted many residents from urban villages to come in and taste their food.
By the afternoon, word of the Kanglehe Restaurant had slowly spread throughout the urban village.
"Do you know the new lunch box restaurant that opened in the village today? I heard it tastes pretty good and the price is very cheap."
"Today I saw that the store was very busy, so I lined up and bought one. The lunch box with two meat dishes and one vegetable only cost 14 yuan, which is really very cheap. Although the price is very cheap, the taste is super good. I want to eat it again in the afternoon, it is really delicious."
"At noon, I saw too many people and didn't know what the food was like, so I didn't go in. After hearing what you said, I want to try it this afternoon too."
"It's really delicious. When I was eating lunch boxes in the store today, I found that many of the people in the store were old customers. They said that the main store of the lunch box restaurant is in Jiangdong New District. It is a very famous lunch box restaurant. The one in the urban village is a branch."
"My roommate also went there to eat today. She kept praising the food when she came back. I plan to go with her to try it this afternoon."
Today, the Kangle lunch box has become a hot topic in the urban village. The first question people ask when they meet is: "Have you eaten the Kangle lunch box?"
Gu Changdong, who was outside, also felt this atmosphere in his circle of friends. Starting from noon, different tenants posted updates about Kangle lunch boxes in his circle of friends.
Han Bingxia: [The newly opened box lunch restaurant downstairs is so delicious. I have completely fallen in love with it. ]
Yu Xiaomei: [Who understands my happiness? I can eat super delicious boxed lunches just by going downstairs. I feel like I am the happiest person in the world.]
Lin Yunbiao: [The box lunch restaurant downstairs is really a magical box lunch restaurant, delicious and cheap, who wouldn’t love it!!!]
Gu Changdong didn't expect that Kangle Box Lunch would have such a good reputation in the urban village on the first day of its opening. There were more than a dozen people praising Kangle Box Lunch in his circle of friends alone.
Even his good friend Song Dazhi was praising him. Originally, Gu Changdong wanted to invite Song Dazhi to go to the Hedian Restaurant to show his support, but as there were already many people in front of the Hedian Restaurant, Song Dazhi did not go in to show his support.
It was clear that when he was chatting with Song Dazhi just now, Song Dazhi said that he was leaving, so how come he also had the Kangle lunch box?
Curious, Gu Changdong sent a message to Song Dazhi.
Gu Changdong: [Old Song, why are you eating the Kangle lunch box too? Didn’t you leave just now? Is this lunch box restaurant really delicious?]
Just now, Song Dazhi saw that there were too many people outside the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant, so he indeed left. The reason why he ate the Kangle Box Lunch was because his son passed by and went in to eat the lunch box out of greed. He found that the Kangle Box Lunch was very delicious, so he brought him one.
Song Dazhi, who was blessed with good food, had an amazing box lunch which was so delicious that he wanted to spin in circles.
Song Dazhi: [My son bought it for me. It was really delicious. The beef with scrambled eggs was absolutely amazing. I think you will like it too.]
After seeing so many people praising it, Gu Changdong started to get a little curious about this box lunch restaurant.
After finishing his work, Gu Changdong returned to the village in the afternoon. He found that the atmosphere in the village was much more lively than usual. On the way to the box lunch restaurant, he saw many people carrying box lunches, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
Everyone was chatting happily while walking.
"What did you order? I ordered sweet and sour pork, cola duck, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes."
"Why didn't you order today's new dish, the beef with fried egg? I think the beef with fried egg is super delicious."
"I've already had the beef with scrambled eggs at noon, and it was really delicious. But I heard that the other dishes at Hefan Restaurant are also super delicious, so I want to try other dishes."
“Almost every dish is delicious. At least the four dishes I ate today were very delicious.”
Some people walked out from the box lunch restaurant carrying lunch boxes, while others were walking hurriedly towards the box lunch restaurant.
"Walk faster! There will be too many people in line soon and you will start to make noises again!"
Seeing such a lively scene, Gu Changdong even doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.
When he arrived at the Kangle Box Restaurant, Gu Changdong was shocked. The restaurant was full of people.
Originally, Gu Changdong thought that the people in the queue were all hired by the Box Food Restaurant, but looking at the bright smiles on their faces, they did not look like hired help at all.
Gu Changdong wanted to know whether the lunch boxes in this restaurant were really delicious, so he also lined up to buy lunch boxes.
He followed the trend and ordered Kangle lunch box's new dish of the day, scrambled egg beef, with a golden egg and thinly sliced beef. It was obvious to the naked eye that the beef content was high.
The scrambled egg, which is so tender that you can squeeze out water, is wrapped around the sweet beef. The soft and tender egg melts easily in your mouth, and you can feel the sweetness and fullness of the beef as soon as you put it in your mouth. Just one bite will surprise you.
Gu Changdong just eats to his heart’s content. Others fall in love with beautiful women at first sight, but he falls in love with delicious food as soon as he tastes it.
"How can there be such delicious lunch boxes!"
Gu Changdong remembered that he had been worried that the box-eating restaurant would go bankrupt due to poor business, and that it would be deserted on the first day of its opening. It seemed that he had been overthinking. How could such a delicious box-eating restaurant go bankrupt and be deserted?
Today the residents of the urban village were very happy because they had very delicious and cheap boxed lunches.
"Kanglehe Restaurant is a gift from God to our urban villages, allowing ordinary people in our urban villages to enjoy delicious food."
"For the first time, I realized that living in an urban village is a very lucky thing. We who live in the urban village have delicious boxed lunches whenever we go out. Others must be very envious of us."
Surrounding the city from the urban villages, the reputation of Kangle lunch boxes soon spread from the urban villages.
