Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 808 Try It

So Zhang Yu set off from the hotel with the cameraman the next day.

But the two of them first went to the nearby vegetable market to buy six steamed buns. With the lessons learned from yesterday, they felt that eating mapo tofu requires a little more staple food.

"Come on, let's go see the boss's reaction today."

A little after eleven o'clock at noon, they came to the Honghong Hotel again.

Generally speaking, they will choose to visit the store earlier or later, so that there will not be many people in the store, which will not affect their own shooting, and will not affect the business of the store.

Moreover, their accounts have more than one million followers on several platforms, so they pay real money every time they eat, and they don't ask the store for special treatment just because they are anchors.

Just like yesterday, before shooting, they would also ask if they are allowed to shoot here, and ask the boss or the waiter if they would like to appear on the scene.

They will only start filming after obtaining the consent of others.

After they came over, everyone in Honghong Hotel had just finished their staff meal.

"coming!"

Zhang Yu nodded: "Yes, boss, we are here again."

Chen Nian looked at the other party's camera: "Is today still like yesterday?"

But at this time Zhang Yu shook his head again, held up the steamed buns in the bag and said, "Boss, after we posted yesterday's video, the audience thought it was still too expensive, so this time I brought my own steamed buns here, Still only need a mapo tofu, but no rice."

Looking at the other party like this, Chen Nian couldn't help sighing: "Okay, but the six steamed buns you buy are probably more expensive than rice."

Zhang Yu smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, we mainly focus on exploring shops in poverty, steamed buns are not considered money, you can think of them as steamed at home by ourselves, what we want to challenge is to be able to eat for one dollar."

"Is that where you sat yesterday?"

"Well, just sit there."

Then Chen Nian took the two of them to their seats and sat down before he said: "Then you will definitely be full today. Mapo tofu is already served with rice, plus three steamed buns per person, even if you want to go out hungry. not."

"Okay, then let's have a plate of mapo tofu." Chen Nian was so bright, Zhang Yu felt a little embarrassed, "The side dishes..."

"Pick up side dishes as you like, you can get them yourself, there are plates over there, pick up as much as you want."

"Okay, thank you boss."

In the end, Chen Nian went back to the kitchen to cook, while Zhang Yu went outside the kitchen window to pick up side dishes under the lens of the cameraman.

I took a few plates and piled up every side dish high.

"Well, it's all for making videos. In fact, I'm not the kind of person who picks and searches." Zhang Yu explained, "This time we just take a look at the possibility of this eating method for the audience friends. In fact, it's just me Personally, I don't really recommend eating this way, unless it is some friends who really have difficulties."

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Honghong came nearby. After all, there was no one in the store, so Feng Honghong was also a little curious, so she came over to have a look.

Listening to Zhang Yu's words, Feng Honghong explained from the side: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, we put it on the menu for everyone to order."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yu turned his head suddenly. The appearance of Feng Honghong startled him, but he quickly reacted: "Auntie, if everyone comes to eat like this, then you will lose money?"

Feng Honghong smiled: "That's not the case. Although it loses money from selling like this, there will always be people who order other dishes. People will come to our place to eat because of Mapo Tofu, which is equivalent to spending money on advertising."

Zhang Yu looked at the enthusiastic Feng Honghong and felt a little puzzled: "Auntie, I will make a video and post it on the Internet at that time. Why don't you say something more structured, for example, to help those who are in difficult conditions?" people?"

"Hey, what is there to say? Mapo tofu is the signature of our store. Although there are definitely people who order this to save money, not everyone comes to eat this because they have no money on hand. Maybe they Just simply love this dish.

And one person can't eat too much. If one person orders a bowl of rice and two dishes, isn't it a waste if they can't finish it?Even if they can be packed, the dishes they take home will definitely not taste as good as those freshly made in the store, and there is really no need to say whether they will help others or not. "

"Because everyone is saving face." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"That's the truth, but it's not all because of this. The price of the food sold in the store is clearly marked, and the guests also pay for the meal. This can't be said to be helpful or not. It can only be said that the guests are willing to choose to eat here. It is to my son. Culinary recognition."

"Auntie, I'm superficial. You are truly organized by doing this."

"No, no, you are here to shoot videos for publicity. That is the real situation." Feng Honghong is very good at talking, and can basically answer anything, and makes the listeners feel very comfortable after hearing it .

Zhang Yu really felt very comfortable in his heart: "Auntie, can you give me a free order this time?"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Honghong nodded immediately: "Yes, but it is also possible to waive the bill, you have to agree to one condition."

"What's the condition? Do you post on Moments or Douyin?"

"Neither, if you want to be free, you can't send this video. How about this meal being treated by your aunt?"

As a result, Zhang Yu thought for a while: "Forget it, I will pay the money!"

It's just that after he finished speaking, Zhang Yu planned to go back and delete this short section when editing the video.

Because he is worried that if he sends this out, it will cause trouble for the boss. One dollar is for publicity and to attract customers, but his video has at least 10,000+ views, even if 1% of people watch it Eat, and then 10% of them have the cheek to ask this aunt to give them free bills. Although it is not much different between earning one yuan more and earning one less, they are already cheaper than one yuan, and they still want to be free. It's a little too much.

It's just that the conversation has come to this point, Zhang Yu chatted with Feng Honghong a few more words: "Auntie, do you often give people free bills?"

"Not often, but some regular customers come to eat. Sometimes we will waive the bill. After all, we know each other when we come often. We are all friends. It’s okay to invite friends to dinner. Generally speaking, they are old friends or young people I like. If someone comes over, I'll give them a drink."

"Auntie, I'm actually not from here. I have to go back after visiting a few restaurants this time and filming videos. Otherwise, I have to come here every day to eat." Zhang Yuxin said with emotion.

Although he had encountered a restaurant with a human touch like Honghong Restaurant before, in such a big environment, there were not many such stores.

But this is not to say that those stores that are unwilling to give preferential treatment or discounts are not good, because they are also out to make money, but Feng Honghong and Chen Nian will always make people feel more comfortable when they do this.

So after making mapo tofu in the old age, they started to eat it with steamed buns. It is two different feelings to match mapo tofu with rice and steamed buns.

Although they are all carbohydrates, the steamed buns will give people a more realistic feeling when eaten.

While eating, dipping steamed buns into the soup, the two of them were sweating profusely, and their mouths kept hissing haha.

Even a pot of water was quickly finished.

In the end, Feng Honghong couldn't stand it anymore, so she took two bottles of Coke from the freezer and gave them to them.

"Drink something cold, see if you are too spicy, don't go back and have a stomachache."

"Ah, thank you, Auntie."

Zhang Yu said gratefully.

But at noon yesterday, after they finished eating at Honghong Restaurant, they still ran away when they went back.

He was flipping through the comments on last night's video while he turned into a Splatter on the toilet.

Why Pangpang: "Anchor, do you dare to buy a few steamed buns and go to Honghong Restaurant without paying a penny, only eat free side dishes and drink free tea?"

After seeing this comment, Zhang Yu sighed. To be honest, he was really embarrassed to go like this.

Although their style of exploring the store is to focus on a shameless person, but that is only for the effect of the show. Zhang Yu is not the kind of person who is really shameless.

So he replied under this comment: "I went there twice in total. The handsome boss and his mother are very nice people. Let's go to another store."

But not long after he finished his reply, he received many comments from viewers under his reply.

"Catch an old Zhang and bring him back to bridal chamber with me."

"Go, go, we love to watch, and isn't their shop just for business?"

"That's right. Although it was less than before, it cost money. If you didn't spend any money and brought your own food this time, the expression on the boss's face must be very exciting."

Looking at these comments, Zhang Yu actually doesn't like it very much, it's just because he has gone with such a style from the beginning, so it is inevitable that there will be such a natural audience of pure fun people, they don't care about the anchor or the store.

So even if he doesn't like it, he can't say something too serious, just explain below: "Forget it, Honghong Hotel is one of the most humane restaurants I have ever been to, even if I do this, they will definitely agree, And I won't say anything, but I'm too embarrassed to do it, let's change the store."

However, the other party came back after sending this reply: "It's over, it's over, my favorite anchor has collapsed, and the anchor will be embarrassed."

"I'm sorry, buddy, I really have a conscience discovery this time."

After that, Zhang Yu stopped paying attention to this floor, and started to read other comments, replying one from time to time.

After coming out of the toilet, he came to the cameraman's side and told him which clips should not be cut, and then he lay down on the bed to rest.

In the evening they will go to another restaurant to continue to explore, and the restaurant he is going to in the evening is a restaurant that has released a challenge. As long as they eat the specified amount of food within the specified time, they can be free of charge, so now he has to Take a good rest and rest.

Chen Nian also followed Zhang Yu's account at night.

And expressed his thanks under the video of the other party posting his store.

But after these two days of experiments, Chen Nian found that everyone still likes the free side dishes, and basically every table will have some side dishes to eat.

My mother also asked the guests how they felt about the taste of the side dishes, and all the guests gave unanimous praise.

But Xiao Jing hadn't been here for the past few days, and Chen Nian didn't ask, because he probably guessed that Xiao Jing should be making a new video with Binbin recently.

This guy Xiao Jing obviously majored in art, but later he became a shop explorer blogger, but after the transformation, his style of painting seemed to have changed.

Like an old cow, every time I make something more complicated and more time-consuming.

Boil the spirit, and boil the physical strength.

And recently he hasn't posted a new video, obviously he is preparing something new, and by the way, he will make an appearance for Li Binbin.

After watching these videos, Chen Nian went to check some video bloggers he had followed before.

If you are interested, please post a comment below.

But now Chen Nian has a certain reputation, and many people follow his account, so after posting a comment, someone left a message under Chen Nian's reply saying that he looks forward to cooperating with these food bloggers to make a video.

Of course, these messages have been left alone for a long time, and it is up to the bloggers to decide whether to cooperate or not.

Although he also wants to cooperate with the other party, this can also drive more traffic for Honghong Hotel.

However, on the same night, Xiao Hua edited a cooking video they shot before and sent it to Chen Nian.

"No problem, just send it like this."

After seeing it in old age, I really don't think there is any problem. As a novice, it is quite good that the small flowers can be cut like this.

"Okay, Master."

Since Xiaohua also decided to learn how to cook cold dishes with Chen Nian, she also started calling Chen Nian Master, which made Chen Nian feel a little strange.

However, after Zhang Yu came twice, he didn't continue to come. Obviously he changed to another store to continue shooting videos, but just a week later, Chen Nian suddenly received a call from Zhou Ji.

"Brother Chen, how is business doing recently?"

"It's Master Zhou. My business has been going well recently. How about you? Are you busy recently?"

"I'm okay here. I mainly teach apprentices or go out to shoot videos every day." Zhou Ji said with a smile, "But this time I'm calling to ask how your preparations have been recently? "Wang Zhengba" is about to start, we have to go to Yunnan to participate in the show."

"I have no problem preparing here, and I can leave at any time."

"Well, I guess the program team will contact you in a few days to go to your place to film the pre-match publicity, and maybe your store. After the filming, we can go to Yunnan."

"No problem, but Master Zhou, have you already taken pictures?"

"Well, we've already finished filming here, and you're the only one left."

"Okay, then we'll see you then."

"Okay Brother Chen, we have to show those foreign chefs how good our Chinese food is at that time!"
