Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

It's time to get off work in the evening.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli rode their tricycles straight to Shengli Night Market.

The night market business lasts from the evening until late at night, and its main feature is "day and night reversal".

However, Du Shaojie did not prepare much food, only 100 servings in total, and he would go home to rest when he sold all the food.

There were so many people and cars on the road that they couldn't walk fast. It took them more than 40 minutes to reach the stall.

Du Shaojie took a look and found that the stall was indeed quite remote, almost at the end of the night market. Although the end was not a dead end, it was a small alley outside, so the flow of people must be much less.

Wang Yongli parked the tricycle, and Du Shaojie immediately opened the dining car.

Then a sign was put up that read: Crab meat lion head, rice.

A customer passed by the food truck, took a look at the sign and walked away. The reason is that it has no characteristics. Everyone knows that [Crab Roe Lion Head] is delicious, but what kind of flavor can you make as a night market stall?
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Du Shaojie's food truck is still operating like an empty city, with not a single customer coming to consume.

Wang Yongli was a little anxious and said, "Boss Du, let me give the order."

"No, the night is still long, let's wait slowly."

Du Shaojie was not impatient. It didn't matter if he couldn't sell all the goods on the first day. At worst he could just send them back.

After a while, a fat girl came over. She stood in front of the dining car and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to eat something here because she was too hungry and had no energy to continue shopping.

"Boss, give me a serving of [Crab Roe Lion Head] rice."

After saying that, she sat down on the small stool in front of the dining car.

"Please wait."

Du Shaojie quickly blanched a few slices of greens, made a portion of rice, and placed the greens on top. Then he opened the soup bucket, scooped out three lion's heads and placed them on the greens, and poured thick soup over the lion's heads and greens.

The fat girl suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, which made her saliva flow unconsciously.

She raised her nose and sniffed hard, and Wang Yongli placed a bowl of crab meat and rice in front of her. The fragrance came from the lunch box in front of her.

The fat girl didn't care about anything else and immediately started eating.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

The fat girl's mouth was full of food, and she exclaimed incoherently.

At this time, a group of young people came over. The fragrance in the air had not yet dissipated, and it immediately attracted their attention.

"What's that smell? Why does it smell so good?"

They followed the smell and found Du Shaojie's dining truck, and then saw the fat girl eating happily.

To be honest, watching a fat girl eat will arouse most people's appetite. The expression of intoxication and enjoyment on her face while eating is really convincing.

"[Crab Roe Lion Head] Rice? How about we try it?"

"Okay, look how delicious the food is, it must be delicious."

So they sat down and ordered 5 servings of [Crab Roe and Lion's Head] rice.

Wang Yongli quickly served them the food, and they couldn't stop eating it, their eyes full of surprise. Who would have thought that they could eat such authentic "Crab Roe Lion Head" at such a snack stand?
"The boss's cooking skills are really good. The taste of this [Crab Roe Lion Head] is comparable to that of a big restaurant!"

"Yes, it's on par with the big hotels, but the price is much cheaper, it's really good."

They sat together chattering, feeling that the meal was worthwhile and the price-performance ratio was really high.

With these two groups of customers as a base, the food truck's business gradually improved. This is how business is done. If it is always deserted, no customers will come. If customers gather together, then business will get better and better.

Wang Yongli looked at this scene and couldn't help grinning.

He was not worried about the boss losing money, but anyone would feel uncomfortable if all the work for half a day was in vain.

Du Shaojie worked very hard, and the prepared [Crab Roe Lion Head] was sold out in just over an hour. The two packed up and returned to their residence via the nearby path.

"Today is a bit rushed, so I should make some pickles tomorrow and add a fried egg to it, and this fast food will taste better."

at night.

Du Shaojie summed up today's experience and decided to make some slight improvements tomorrow.

Then he went into the simulated scene and continued to hone his cooking skills until he felt a little tired, then he came out and went to sleep.

the next day.

When Wang Yongli went to buy ingredients, he also bought some pickled mustard tubers and small river shrimps.

Du Shaojie fried a pot of pickles using pickled mustard tubers and small river shrimps.

"Boss Du, this pickle is delicious. It's not too salty, but very fragrant."

Wang Yongli tasted it and found it delicious.

In the evening, the two of them pushed the food cart to the stall. Du Shaojie unfolded the food cart, Wang Yongli set up the small tables and chairs, and started business.

Just like yesterday, after more than 20 minutes, no one was interested. After all, today was only the second day of setting up the stall, and not many people knew about it. If I persisted, it would definitely be much better.

Later, Du Shaojie saw a familiar figure and couldn't help laughing. The fat girl from yesterday came again. When she saw Du Shaojie, she raised her hand and greeted him: "Hi, I'm here again."

"Please take a seat first. It will be ready soon."

Du Shaojie had a good impression of the fat girl. As the first customer, she would always leave a deeper impression on people.

He first put the rice in the lunch box, then blanched a few slices of green vegetables and put them on top, then added a spoonful of pickles. After that, he fried an egg and put it in between, and finally took the crab meat and put it on top from the soup bucket, and poured the soup on it.

When the fat girl saw today's meal, her eyes lit up, and then she remembered a question and asked quickly, "Today there are more pickles and a fried egg. Did the price go up?"

"No, it's still the same price as yesterday."

Wang Yongli responded with a smile, and Du Shaojie didn't have time to deal with her because another customer came.

The fat girl gave Wang Yongli a thumbs up and started eating.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that today’s meal was better than yesterday’s, and it made her feel very satisfied.

Afterwards, more and more customers came, and Du Shaojie was busy all the time, after all, he had to fry eggs today. Fortunately, the 100 meals were sold out quickly, and the end time was ten minutes earlier than yesterday.

"Boss Du, I think the fat girl is our lucky star. When she comes, business will come."

On the way back, Wang Yongli couldn't help but make a joke.

Du Shaojie agreed with this and if the girl came again tomorrow, he planned to give the fat girl a free fried egg.

Time flies.

The week passed quickly.

Du Shaojie's stall has become famous in the night market. In the following days, there were customers waiting in front of the stall every day, because if they came late, they might not be able to eat.

The long queues reappeared. After all, who would refuse to eat dishes comparable to those in big restaurants at night market prices?
Starting from the second week, Du Shaojie changed his project and only sold [Yangzhou Fried Rice] instead of anything else.

"Eh? You don't make [Crab Roe Lion Head] anymore? What a pity. Let's have a portion of [Yangzhou Fried Rice]."

For so many days, the fat girl had her dinner at Du Shaojie's stall.

After enjoying free fried eggs for several days in a row, the other party changed their project. She felt it was a pity, but did not take it to heart.

She immediately ordered a bowl of Yangzhou Fried Rice, took a bite, and felt happy again.

For a foodie, eating delicious food that satisfies him/her is the greatest happiness and can make him/her happy all day long.

Strangely enough, customers started coming after the fat girl, one, two, and more and more. Today's 100 servings of [Yangzhou Fried Rice] were all sold out.

Afterwards, many customers remembered this small stall, and also remembered Du Shaojie’s handsome, young face.

"Boss, are you the head chef of some big hotel? Are you here to experience life?"

That day, the fat girl couldn't help it anymore, so she came up to Du Shaojie and asked in a low voice.

You know what, she has a good eye and pointed out the core of the problem right away.

After all, if the other person is just an ordinary chef, it is understandable if he cooks a certain dish well. But if he can challenge other people's taste buds no matter what dish he cooks, it can only be said that his real level is very high.

"Yes, I am a top chef, and I am here to experience life."

Du Shaojie had a very good impression of the fat girl, so he told the truth.

"Tsk, you're still panting when I tell you you're fat. My last name is Wei, and everyone calls me Juanzi. Boss, if you can't make it in the future, come to me and I'll support you."

The fat girl Wei Juan had a cheerful personality. After she joked with Du Shaojie, she turned and left.

She actually believed what the other party said, but she used this teasing method to cover up the shock in her heart.

A top chef setting up a night market to experience life? Not even novels dare to write about it. But the other party's level is indeed very high, maybe he got into trouble and had to face reality and bow his head.

so poor!
"Am I being teased?"

Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile, then he looked at Wang Yongli, and both of them laughed out loud.

She's an interesting girl, and most importantly, she's very kind.

In the next two weeks, Du Shaojie cooked stir-fried dishes for one week and plain noodles for another week, and then decided to end his trip to Huai'an.

The feeling of breakthrough became stronger and stronger, and he knew he should go back.

Before leaving.

Du Shaojie took stock of his gains.

During this period, a total of 40 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "delicacies", which also brought him 2 redemption points and 20 hours of income.

There was some consumption. He conducted simulation training every day during this period, which consumed a total of 4 hours.

[Exchange points: 171918 points\635066 points]

【Duration: 27 million hours\993.30 million hours】

The biggest gain was the insights Du Shaojie gained after this trip.

These insights have driven his cooking skills to improve little by little, and he is about to break through the bottleneck and enter a new world. (End of this chapter)
