As time went by, the aroma of braised food slowly wafted out of the kitchen, gradually seeping into the air and tantalizing the senses of everyone nearby.
The aroma gradually accumulated in the pot, and the moment the lid was lifted, it erupted like a volcano, spreading rapidly in all directions. Many passersby stopped in their tracks, searching for the source of the fragrance...
Anyone who tried the braised food at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant yesterday afternoon will know that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is making braised food again as soon as they smell it.
I couldn't help but recall the braised food I had yesterday. It tasted really good, but there were too many people. I only managed to eat one slice of potato and half a slice of lotus root before the plate was empty.
Now that he smelled that aroma again, his cravings surged and crawled wildly in his stomach, quickly taking over his brain.
I wonder what kind of braised dishes we have today, and whether they are available for sale to the public?
When the man came to his senses, he found himself standing in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Since we're already here~
"Boss, do you want to buy some braised food? What kinds do you have, and how much do they cost?"
The group of people who were busy packing looked up when they heard this, and realized that there were several people standing behind them, including familiar faces they had seen just yesterday afternoon.
"Sell!" Xu An reacted extremely quickly: "Vegetables are 5 yuan per jin, and meat is 30 yuan per jin."
The man stood on tiptoe, his gaze passing over Xu An and the others to look at the three large basins in front of them.
Lotus root, potatoes, kelp, shiitake mushrooms... chicken feet, chicken wings, quail eggs, streaky pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, thick large intestines...
I was just thinking that meat dishes were too expensive and that I'd just buy some vegetables, but the moment I saw the meat dishes, my mouth started watering uncontrollably. I really want to eat them!
This isn't something you eat every day. You eat it once every ten days or half a month, and it costs thirty or forty yuan each time. That's only about a hundred yuan a month!
Hmm, I still feel a little guilty!
Alright, let's call a few friends, have some wine with this braised food, this braised food is just as delicious as peanuts!
The thought that several people had eaten snacks worth thirty or forty yuan in one meal, averaging only ten or eight yuan per person, instantly lessened my guilt.
"Boss, give me two pounds of each of the vegetarian dishes, and one pound of each of the meat dishes."
"Boss, pick a little bit of each kind of vegetable, give me a pound, I want to try it out."
"Boss, give me half a pound each of potatoes and lotus root. I only had a taste yesterday, but I want to eat my fill today."
"..."
In a short time, he sold five catties of braised food and earned fifty silver dollars.
You should know that the profit margin for braised food is huge. You can earn 12 yuan per pound of meat and 3 yuan per pound of vegetables. Just these 5 pounds of braised food will earn you 24 yuan!
Once the brine is ready, you can cook a large pot of it, which is much easier and less labor-intensive than boxed meals.
This braised food business seems to be more profitable than boxed lunches.
We sold 8 jin (4 catties) of takeout orders, and then another 5 jin (2.5 catties) in a short while, making it thirteen jin (3.5 catties) in total, which is a quarter of the total!
Zhang Dezhen, who had been on edge all morning, finally relaxed.
It's sold! I've kept my job!
The entrance to the Zijing Garden construction site.
Several workers near the gate smelled an extremely strong and overpowering aroma starting at ten o'clock, making their mouths water. They wondered if it was the smell of the food in their lunchboxes or some new restaurant that had opened nearby.
I've never smelled this fragrance before.
After finally making it to 11 o'clock, the end of the workday, the group threw down their tools and ran towards the gate, arriving earlier than Qiao Xingguo for the first time ever.
When Qiao Xingguo arrived, there were already seven or eight people in front of him, and four or five people had already received their boxed meals.
What's going on today? I'm not the first one!
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a very familiar fragrance. Qiao Xingguo twitched his nose, took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
That's it! It tastes exactly like the braised dishes from my hometown!
After identifying the flavor, Qiao Xingguo looked around, trying to find the source of the aroma.
There were no stalls around the entrance, and no new shops had opened across the street.
etc!
Why are there so many people standing in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? It's usually so quiet.
Could this smell be coming from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? Has Xu's Fast Food Restaurant switched to selling braised dishes?
Qiao Xingguo was soon in line. After picking up his lunchbox, he was about to walk into the construction site when another gust of wind blew in, carrying the familiar aroma of braised dishes.
Qiao Xingguo stopped walking, turned around, looked at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and then walked to the front of the restaurant.
Besides the familiar hot food counter, there was a table set up at the entrance with three large basins of braised food on it, covered with transparent fly-proof covers.
Vegetables are five yuan per jin; meat is thirty yuan per jin.
The meat dishes are a bit pricey, but the vegetable dishes are cheap!
Since leaving my hometown at the beginning of the year to work in Haishi, I haven't had any braised dishes. Sometimes I'll have half a jin (250g) and try it with my wife.
"Boss, could you pick out half a pound of vegetables for me?"
Okay.
The person who answered was Zhang Dezhen, who was in charge of selling braised dishes, while Zhou Qi was in charge of serving the dishes; their division of labor was very clear.
More and more people were drawn by the aroma, and in addition to nearby residents, many workers from across the construction site also came over one after another.
Although many people only buy half a pound of vegetables to taste, little by little, the two vegetable bowls are soon empty.
Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant.
Starting from the third day, Ren Peng assigned the food delivery task to the store manager closest to Elsa Clothing Company.
But he didn't abandon it entirely; every afternoon at six o'clock, he would still take out his phone to check the emails sent by Luo Min.
