Because she had to deliver goods to Shunkelou before noon, Ye Caiping had to adjust the times for setting up her stall and the delivery staff.
After returning home, Ye Caiping discussed the matter with Grandma Ye and Daquan and Erquan.
Ye Caiping had originally thought that she might make an extra bucket in the morning and deliver it to Shunkelou when she set up her stall.
But in the end, I gave up.
If you make it too early, even if you keep it warm, the texture and taste will deteriorate over time, so you still have to make it fresh.
Grandma Ye said, "The stalls in town can close up at 9:30 am, then we can go home, make another bucket, and have Bajin deliver it to Shunkelou. I'll have Bajin make an extra trip this afternoon to pick you up from school."
Ye Caiping laughed and said, "That's too rushed. Starting tomorrow, the stalls in town will sell one less bucket, and they can close up shop before 9:00 AM. As long as Shunkelou sells well, the money will come naturally."
Grandma Ye and the Daquan brothers were shocked. How much money would they lose?
Ye Jin'er explained Ye Caiping's theory in detail.
The mother and her two children were completely confused, but since Ye Caiping said it was possible to make money, they figured it was possible and they would just listen to her.
Ye Caiping thought for a moment and said, "Mother, you go to the county town with my eldest brother tomorrow. I'll take care of Heshun Inn in the town."
"OK."
...
In order to attract business, Shunkelou hung up a sign at the door immediately after Ye Caiping left.
It is announced that starting tomorrow, hot and sour soup will be served at lunchtime.
A passerby saw the sign and shook his head: "Another copycat."
"Now that even the last copycat has gone out of business, who still dares to imitate it?"
"Don't try it, or you'll just waste your money."
"Baiweilou's is something to look forward to."
Manager Chi, who had just turned around, sighed softly. Although he had confidence in Hu spicy soup, he was also afraid that it would "not adapt well" after leaving that stall.
The next day, Ye Caiping, Erquan, and Jin'er were in the small town.
Grandma Ye, Daquan, and Huan'er went to the county town.
The town only had two buckets today, and they sold out in no time.
Many customers who didn't get to eat were disappointed: "I came early enough, how come it's already sold out! I remember there used to be a big bucket of it at this time."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "There will be more at noon, at Shunkelou. Our family supplies goods there."
"Oh? I saw Shunkelou put up a sign yesterday. I thought they were copying it, but it turns out it's yours."
"Yes, we don't need to rush over so early anymore. We can eat at Shunkelou later."
The customer was very happy, bought a few steamed buns from Aunt Pang, and left.
When a regular customer came in, Ye Caiping would repeat what she had said.
Once everything was loaded onto the oxcart, half of the regular customers knew.
...
Just before noon, Ye Caiping and Ye Erquan delivered the goods on time.
Manager Chi recalled the reactions of pedestrians when they saw the sign yesterday and was very worried.
If business doesn't pick up this time, he won't be able to keep the shop open.
"I heard that you can also eat the spicy soup from West Street here, is that true?"
At this moment, a man walked over, holding a little girl in his arms, and a woman beside him was holding a little boy's hand.
Manager Chi's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, the soup was just delivered and it's still hot."
The man and woman smiled at each other: "This restaurant is quite spacious, much more comfortable than sitting at a small stall. Let's go in and eat."
"Dad, I want to stuff fried dough sticks with hot and sour soup."
"I want scrambled eggs."
"I'll give you some right away."
Once the first customer arrived, a second one followed, and soon the once quiet lobby was half full.
In just one hour, the spicy soup was sold out.
But since the customers had already come, there was no reason for them to turn around and leave, so they sat down to have lunch.
Shopkeeper Chi couldn't stop smiling.
What makes him happiest is that customers say they didn't expect the food at this restaurant to be so delicious; they never knew that before and will come here often in the future.
After the lunch market, Manager Chi immediately hired a donkey cart and headed to Qinghe Village.
He readily signed a contract with Ye Caiping for four buckets of liquor per day, two buckets each for lunch and dinner, to be maintained for three months.
After Manager Chi left, Ye Caiping looked at her first contract since coming into this world and was very satisfied.
Grandma Ye and the others also returned from the county town.
All three buckets we took out today were sold out, and there were even some left over.
...
Baiweilou —
The news that Shunkelou's business had improved because of its spicy soup quickly reached Manager Lin's ears.
Since Manager Lin had the doctor taste the ingredients last time, nine kinds of medicine were finally found. As for the proportions, I'm sorry, I couldn't figure it out at all!
You can figure out and decide how much to put in yourselves!
Manager Lin was at a loss; he couldn't possibly replicate the exact same taste by experimenting on his own.
"Boss, this is our tenth version. Why don't you give it a try?" The head chef was getting a little impatient; he'd practically been marinating in spices for days.
Manager Lin, accompanied by two waiters, took a spoon and tried a sip.
Manager Lin felt that there was no difference from the previous versions.
The waiter's eyes lit up: "Although they are different, I think ours tastes better."
"Really?" Manager Lin was overjoyed. To be honest, he had been trying it so many times in the past few days that he could no longer tell whether it tasted good or not.
Since the waiter said it's delicious, it must be pretty good.
Besides, he didn't have time to adjust it anymore, so he made the decision: "This version is fine! Shuanzi, hang the sign up."
The sign reads: Baiweilou's homemade new recipe hot and sour soup will be available at the morning market tomorrow, with limited quantities for lunch and dinner.
Pedestrians stopped in their tracks upon seeing the notice, intrigued by the announcement.
Baiweilou is a time-honored brand with good dishes, which makes one look forward to it.
