Chapter 107 Jinxiuxuan Exclusive
"What are you doing in the front? Can you hurry up? You're so slow."
The person behind him urged him to come to his senses. He then asked Madam Chen to choose five kinds, put them on the oil paper, and then went aside holding the oil paper.
There were many people like him around, discussing which one was tastier, which one the kids at home would like, which one their wives would definitely love more, and so on.
The man listened carefully, thinking that he would come again tomorrow to taste the rest, and then after the store opened, he would buy back the ones he thought were the most delicious, and let his family taste this delicacy that only gods could eat.
Of course, there were many people who had the same idea as this person, so Mrs. Huang felt relieved.
Afterwards, Mrs. Huang hurriedly went to find a lion dance troupe, firecrackers, etc. In her words, she absolutely could not let Jinxiuxuan fall behind in the excitement of the opening.
Xu Qingmeng’s snack gift boxes are also ready here.
The appearance of the gift box is very exquisite. The box is made of fine sandalwood and exudes a faint wooden fragrance.
The box surface is carefully carved with exquisite floral patterns, including gorgeous peonies, noble and elegant plum blossoms, and fresh and unworldly lotus flowers. Each flower is lifelike, as if swaying in the breeze.
In the gaps between the flowers, delicate cloud patterns are outlined with gold powder. The cloud patterns are elegant and lively, as if real clouds are floating on the surface of the box.
The lid and the body of the box fit together perfectly, and the edges are inlaid with thin silver edges, which sparkle with a soft silver light in the sun.
Xu Qingmeng looked at the gift box and felt very satisfied.
There are multiple layers designed according to the types and sizes of snacks, which makes it easier to place each snack.
Xu Qingmeng originally thought that she would not be able to achieve the effect she wanted, but unexpectedly she succeeded. The carpenter's craftsmanship is truly amazing.
Each box is engraved with the exclusive name of Jinxiuxuan.
Xu Qingmeng and Xinting had also prepared the pastries, and the invitation was also written by Gu Yunyi himself.
This exquisite gift box is not just a container for snacks, but will also be a symbol of the shop in the future. As long as you see this gift box, you will know that it is produced by Jinxiuxuan.
"Good, that's great!"
Mrs. Huang looked at the exquisite box and was very surprised.
Without waiting for a moment, he left with the prepared gift box.
After Jinxiuxuan's operation, the flow of customers on this street on May 30th did not change much, but it felt like there were more customers than the day before.
However, there were fewer people in the Suxiang Pavilion opposite, while at the door of Jinxiuxuan, there were waves of people lining up one after another. Just for these two bites of food, everyone was enjoying it.
Moreover, the queues are getting longer and longer, and word of mouth is spreading.
Before it even opened, many people had already heard that a dim sum shop would open on the first day of June, called Jinxiuxuan. The food there was extremely tasty, on par with Wufangzhai, and sometimes even better.
Many people have also heard that when the restaurant opens, the signature dim sum will be discounted, which is very cost-effective. What's more, as long as you become a member, you can get a 10% discount on pastries in the future, and you can even get a beautiful gift from Jinxiuxuan on your birthday.
So, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just a few days, Jinxiuxuan emerged in the East District.
It was already dark, and there were only a few customers in Suxiang Pavilion. However, there was still a long line in front of the table in front of Jinxiuxuan. There were two large lanterns lit next to them, and those people did not mind the darkness.
"Boss, what should we do? Do you want to talk to the boss?" The servant in the shop saw that he looked unhappy and asked in a low voice.
Manager Li's face turned cold: "What are you saying to the boss? You're saying that we can't do well even though their shop hasn't even opened yet? Look at your lack of ambition! Is it really that serious? Besides, the business in the shop has been so good these past two days, haven't you seen it? We don't know who will win yet!"
“But...” The servant saw that Manager Li looked like he was about to kill him and choked back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"But what but? Just do your own thing and that's all."
The young servant thought that Jinxiuxuan had left this side helpless just by offering free tasting.
Don't be fooled by the long queue and the large amount of food delivered. If you really count them carefully and cut them into small pieces, each person can only eat a few bites at most. When you add them together, there is not much food at all.
The food consumed is limited, and the apprentices in the shop have also honed their skills.
On the other hand, in order to win the first wave of business, they kept the price very low. Not to mention making money, some of their products are even sold at a loss. If the future business is not good, it will be difficult to recoup the investment.
Not to mention others, even he himself, the fragrance of the pastries coming out of the pot opposite him every day was so fragrant that he really had no confidence in his own pastries, not to mention that there were all kinds of drinks opposite him that he had never tried before, and the variety was endless.
If this shop was opened somewhere else, I wouldn't have to worry about future business. I just don't know why the owner wants to go against Jinxiuxuan.
Forget it. Shopkeeper Li doesn’t like to hear these things. He only wants to prove himself in front of his boss. How could he bow his head?
Not only did the servant not listen, but he was also told to mind his own business. The servant had no choice but to keep quiet, thinking to himself, he didn't know if he could do this job for long.
The first day of June was a very sunny day.
"What smells so good?"
People who wake up early can smell an enticing sweet smell before they are fully awake, and they subconsciously follow the smell and sniff.
"I don't know this. Jinxiuxuan is opening today, so their cakes must be out of the oven."
At this time, a man passing by couldn't help sniffing, "Alas, originally I was only envious of the neighbors, but now the fragrance fills the whole street. The chef of Jinxiuxuan is really wicked. Who can resist such a fragrant smell?"
What the man said was not exaggerating at all. Before, he was just an apprentice practicing his skills, doing some small things in the kitchen, but now, taking advantage of the daylight, he carries large plates of food to the shop. The door of the shop is wide open, and it is no exaggeration to say that the fragrance fills the whole street.
"Yeah, this is the fragrance coming from Jinxiu Pavilion."
"Definitely."
"Whether it is or not, just follow the scent and you will definitely be right. It smells really good."
"This is finally open. I ate two bites of it a few days ago, and it made me lose interest in eating anything else. I even dreamed about it in the middle of the night."
The firecrackers were still hanging outside at this time. Before the waiter could light them, customers had already come into the shop.
