Chapter 106 Interlude
"How can it not work? It hasn't even started yet. Why are you so discouraged?" Madam Huang glanced at her and said, "You don't have to worry. I have already discussed a plan with Mr. Bieba Xu. How to run the shop is not something you should worry about. What you need to do is to learn how to make dim sum quickly. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Several people were shocked and stood up straight immediately.
Mrs. Huang was very satisfied and immediately asked everyone to take action.
What we need to do now is to get the free stuff ready. The snack gift boxes will be made by Xu Qingmeng and Xinting themselves.
Madam Huang ordered all the maids and servants she brought with her to go out and help.
Take out all the snacks that everyone in the kitchen has carefully prepared, cut those that are too large into small pieces, and keep the small ones as they are.
Line a shallow small basket with wax paper, and then place the cut cakes in it in an orderly manner.
Although the basket is not big, there are things on the bottom, which makes the cakes and pastries, which were not many originally, look full. When they are placed one by one on the long table outside, they instantly form a beautiful landscape, attracting many eyes.
Huang Boyang cleverly wrote the eye-catching words "Free Trial" in large letters and attached some explanatory small words below.
He revealed that the store will open soon and plans to launch two special cakes, but they have not yet been finalized.
Therefore, we sincerely invite you to taste the food and vote for your favorite flavor.
This move not only makes customers remember the deliciousness of the cakes, but also gives them a sense of participation.
More importantly, customers also invisibly remembered the important moment of the store’s opening the day after.
Xu Qingmeng secretly praised in her heart, thinking that Gu Yunyi's marketing strategy seemed like the work of a time traveler.
This technique may be commonplace in later generations, but at this moment it seems particularly novel and unique.
Sure enough, as soon as their stall was set up, people immediately gathered around it out of curiosity.
When they learned that the tasting was really free and they only had to vote for their two favorite flavors, everyone was eager to try without hesitation.
In particular, the large number of customers attracted by the opening of the new Suxiangge store also added a lot of popularity to this tasting event.
"Is this Su Xiang Ge? I heard that you just opened and the dim sum was sold at a low price, but why do they look so broken now? Have they been sold out today?"
Some people came over after seeing how lively it was.
I think he was an illiterate person who didn't see the sign above and just passed by and thought it was Suxiang Pavilion.
Madam Chen smiled and explained, "Sir, that's Su Xiang Pavilion across the street. We're in Jin Xiu Xuan, which hasn't opened yet. Today, we want everyone to vote for the two most favorite dim sums so that they can be used as the store's signature dishes in the future."
"Is that so? So the tasting is really free?"
Before Chen Niangzi could say anything, someone beside her spoke up: "It's free, but you have to queue up at the back, don't try to cut in line."
Really, you see the truth but don't say anything. It's just a small piece of dessert, isn't it? Not even enough to fill the gap between your teeth? What's the big deal?
He muttered quietly, "It's just a small piece. I'd better go to the Su Xiang Pavilion across the street to buy some. The dim sum is almost the same anyway."
almost?
Some people heard it and thought he was a fool, so they just smiled and said, "Brother, don't regret it later."
"Regret, there is nothing to regret, it's just a problem."
This person didn't want to queue up here for a bite of dim sum, but he felt embarrassed to just leave like that, so he went to the Suxiang Pavilion across the street and bought two bags of dim sum.
To be honest, the price is really cheap, the wraps are very good, the portions are quite large, and it is a formal shop, which doesn't look like the same level as the roadside stalls.
The man was very happy. When he left, he saw more people queuing in front of Jinxiuxuan. He looked down on them, thinking that a bunch of poor guys were not ashamed to wait for food.
But as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I was slapped in the face.
A sweet smell blew over with the wind, making him sniff a few times, and his eyes widened.
He couldn't help but take another look at Jinxiuxuan, and saw that the people who were tasting the food all had expressions of surprise and intoxication on their faces.
Just now I was despising those people who were queuing there foolishly for such a small amount of money. Now I feel that I am the fool and my heart feels like it's been scratched by a cat.
The man hesitated for a moment, feeling embarrassed, and then casually glanced at the increasingly long line. He stopped hesitating and quickly took a seat.
Fortunately, he arrived in time. The team in front of him was moving very fast. After all, each person did not get much. By the time he arrived, there was only a small piece of the freshly baked peach blossom pastry left.
He smiled as he took the peach blossom pastry handed to him by the young lady, and looked at the people queuing behind him, all of whom had envious and jealous looks in their eyes, and he smiled happily.
The moment he put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up and he no longer cared whether others were envious or not.
As soon as the peach blossom pastry enters your mouth, layers of flavor spread out on the tip of your tongue.
The crispy outer layer makes a soft sound when being stepped on like the first snow in winter, while the filling inside is sweet but not greasy, just like the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms in full bloom in spring.
The wonderful taste slid down the throat, as if every taste bud was cheering, and the whole person was immersed in the great satisfaction brought by this small piece of dessert.
When he lowered his head to try another piece, he remembered that his piece of peach blossom pastry was the last one.
At this point, he no longer doubted the taste of Jinxiuxuan's dim sum, and he also knew why these people were so willing to line up here.
Then he picked up a bamboo stick and poked the egg cake in front of him.
The egg cake is crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside, which immediately captured his taste buds. It also has a light taste of milk, and it tastes really good!
“Can I try these too?”
"Of course, no problem, you can choose five more to taste." Madam Chen reminded.
After an entire afternoon, this guest was so engrossed in eating that he forgot everything else. Of course, everyone believed that he would not be the last one. After all, Madam Chen had a lot of experience and was able to properly entertain these people.
Of these ten kinds of dim sum, each person can taste seven, which is half, and then choose two of their favorites.
Many people in the back were even muttering, "There are so many varieties, but you can only taste seven. How stingy."
The people in the shop pretended not to hear. They were doing business and couldn't cause conflicts with others at this time.
Someone did say, "Don't the ingredients cost money? Look, many of these are things I've never eaten before. Doesn't it take time to make them? Looking at the styles, they're not simple at all."
"that is."
