Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 497 From Bianjing
This busy work lasted until noon, but the embarrassing thing was that there seemed to be not enough milk tea.

There were at most ten or so portions left in the bucket. Wen Shu looked at the packed lobby with at least thirty or forty people and a dozen or so people waiting outside the door, and his mind raced.

She underestimated the spending power of the people in Lin'an City and didn't expect that business would be so booming on the first day of opening.

“If I tell them now that the milk tea is sold out, I’ll get beaten.” Zhuo Rufeng was worried.

Wen Shu's heart sank. This problem really needed to be solved properly.

Those who had just lined up outside the door were fine, but when they heard that there were no more, they would just sigh and disperse.

But the dozens of people in the hall had been queuing outside for a long time and finally got in. They would definitely be resentful when they found out that the milk tea was gone.

If a conflict occurs, it will be greatly disadvantageous to their future operations.

"Well, you comfort me first and think of a solution in the back." She said to Zhuo Rufeng.

"How to comfort her?" Zhuo Rufeng felt a little uneasy.

"Just tell the truth, and then say that as an apology, we have prepared something else to cool off, and ask them to wait a moment."

"is this okay?"

"Don't worry." Wen Shu gave him an affirmative look, and then turned to Old Man Wen beside him: "Dad, come with me."

When Old Man Wen followed her to the backyard, he saw Wen Shu handing him a small piece of silver.

"Dad, go to the street and see which of the restaurants on the west side has mung bean soup. If they do, buy more. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

If we can successfully buy mung bean soup, perhaps we can ease the customer's dissatisfaction.

Old Man Wen nodded and went.

However, it was noon and the mung bean soup in those restaurants was probably in short supply, so it was still unclear whether you could buy it.

Wen Shu felt that she couldn't put all her hopes on the mung bean soup, she had to make preparations for both scenarios.

As she thought about it, she glanced at the cart in the corner of the yard and gradually came up with an idea.

Just as he was about to take something out of the basket, he suddenly frowned and turned to go to the kitchen.

At this time, the two kitchen helpers were busy in the front and the kitchen was empty.

She squatted in the corner, and with a wave of her hand, a pile of round watermelons appeared out of thin air on the ground.

"Madam Wang, Madam Lin." She called out to the front hall twice, and two women with their hair tied up came out immediately.

"The boss called us?"

Wen Shu nodded and led them into the kitchen. "These are the fruits that were just delivered from outside. Madam Lin, help me wash and cut them and send them outside later. Madam Wang, go to the ice cellar and get two more buckets of ice, one bucket of pure ice and one bucket of jasmine."

Madam Wang responded and left quickly. She was strong and sturdy, so two buckets of ice were no problem for her.

Mrs. Lin was deft and good at knife skills, so Wen Shu picked up a watermelon and taught her how to cut it into small pieces with the skin on.

"Just like that, cut it diagonally, and after you're done, place it on the plate."

At this time, there was some noise coming from the front hall.

"We've waited so long and now we're told no"

Wen Shu asked Madam Lin to continue cutting, and at the same time, his hands moved much faster.

"I'm really sorry, we don't have enough milk, so we really can't make it," Zhuo Rufeng explained vaguely.

"Have we waited in vain?"

"What else, what do you want to do?" Qin Jingyang's arrogant voice came over.

Wen Shu didn't dare to cut any more watermelon, so he put the sliced ​​watermelon on two plates and hurried out. "What's your attitude? Is this how you do business?"

Someone immediately agreed: "That's right, that's right, it's great that they came from Bian Jing, we won't come here anymore, let's see how they can open their store."

At this time, Wen Shu had already walked to the door curtain of the front hall.

Looking inside, I saw that the customers in the hall stood up and talked to each other. Two men even stood up and pointed at Zhuo Rufeng and Qin Jingyang's noses and started cursing.

Seeing Qin Jingyang's face change and he was about to roll up his sleeves, Wen Shu rushed out and stood between the two parties, "I was inconsiderate and kept everyone waiting for a long time."

She winked at Qin Jingyang and said to everyone in the hall, "This is a new product from our store. We were planning to launch it in three days. As an apology today, please have a taste first."

After saying this, he walked among the customers carrying the plate.

She smiled sincerely. The fruits and vegetables on the plate looked bright red, but they gave off a sweet scent. Just by smelling it, she felt that a lot of heat in her body had dissipated.

Some customers who were instigated but not too angry in their hearts immediately took it over.

There are about ten slices on a plate. Although the quantity is a bit small, there are only four people at the table, so it is okay to try something new.

"If you are really sincere, why didn't you take it out earlier? You have made us wait for so long. Aren't you just playing a trick on us?" The two men in the lead insisted.

Wen Shu smiled and explained, "This just arrived today. I was planning to store it in the ice cellar for three days so that it would taste better when eaten. But I didn't expect there wouldn't be enough milk tea today, so I had to take it out and cut it for everyone first."

"Boss, you can't do business like this. The worst thing about cooking is spoiling the fun." The customer, who had eaten the watermelon, was almost done with his emotions, so he advised.

Wen Shu apologized again: "This is indeed our negligence. I thought that not many people would buy the new drink, and it would not be easy to preserve in this weather, so I didn't dare to prepare too much. I didn't expect that friends in Lin'an would support me so much. I would like to thank you all here."

These words were both an apology and a thank you, explaining the reason and praising everyone present.

After hearing this, the customers could no longer blame.

Even the two men who were looking for trouble didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, he managed to utter: "There are only two plates, who can eat them?"

"Of course there are more than just these two plates. The kitchen is still cutting them."

As she spoke, she motioned Qin Jingyang and Zhuo Rufeng to go to the back kitchen. Although Qin Jingyang was angry, he did not dare to disobey Wen Shu's words, so he went there with a sullen face.

After a while, two people came over with four trays, each with two plates of watermelon on it.

There are only ten tables in the store, and these eight plates of watermelon plus the previous two plates mean there is just one plate for each table.

"My dear, what kind of melon is this? It tastes delicious."

"This is called watermelon. Our shop spent a lot of money to have it shipped from Bianjing."

"So he's from Bianjing," the customers nodded, "No wonder I've never seen him before."

At this time, Qin Jingyang carefully approached Wen Shu and said, "Isn't this a cold melon?"

Wen Shu was startled and whispered, "Have you eaten it?"

She had never seen it when she was in Bian Jing and thought it did not exist in this world.

Qin Jingyang looked proud and said, "There is nothing in Beijing that I haven't eaten."

"Where did you eat?"

"Fan Lou."

"How much is Fanlou?"

Qin Yangyang thought about it carefully and didn't remember, but it was not cheap anyway.
