I have a deep mountain

Chapter 6 Official Opening

A week later, Han Dong had already prepared all kinds of kitchen utensils for the supper stall.

Liquefied petroleum gas, seasoning, ingredients... After paying the booth fee for three months, because Han Dong entered the venue late, only the booth at the end of the street is still vacant in the village.

Obviously this stall is the least popular place on the whole street, otherwise it would not have been rented out for so long.

Although the location is a bit deserted, the area is not bad. Han Dong asked someone to build a simple shelter from the rain, and went to a second-hand store to buy more than a dozen wooden tables and plastic stools. After putting them up, it looked like a food stall. .

Han Dong bought another second-hand freezer, which can be used to store food.

After building the stove, Han Dong set up an iron rack specially for barbecue. Han Dong planned to operate cooking and barbecue at the same time. Although it seemed busy, it was actually not as difficult as imagined.

Barbecue does not need to be guarded all the time. Remember the time of roasting. After mastering the heat, the key to the taste is actually the marinade when the meat is marinated and the spice formula sprinkled on it before it is taken off the shelf.

Han Dong's use and control of spices is much higher than that of many chefs. The reason why he chose to be a chef is also because of the meaning of God rewarding food.

In the evening, Han Dong erected the luminous signboard he ordered from the advertising store at the entrance of the store, and the signboard on the white background was printed with five characters --- Xiaodong Food Stall.

Without flowers, trumpets and firecrackers, Han Dong's supper stall just opened in a low-key way.

Han Dong didn't know much about marketing strategies, so he didn't do it.

He stubbornly believes that taste and service are the key to determine whether a store can survive.

Of course, location and foot traffic are also extremely important when opening a new store.

Otherwise, Han Dong's food stall wouldn't have opened for half an hour, and no one even came in to see it.

Han Dong's hands can't wait to cook, the first day of opening, it's not so unlucky that there is no business, right?
Han Dong, who had a calm expression on his face, was actually panicking in his heart at this moment. He looked at the neighbors not far away with good business, and suddenly made a decision in his heart. He was the first guest to come to join us today.

Give him a free order!

Han Dong opened the shop at six o'clock in the afternoon when it was just dark, and it's almost seven o'clock now. It stands to reason that all the young men and women who work in the industrial area of ​​the county should come out.

Although Han Dong's shop is at the end of the street, it's not like there are no one passing by.

Sitting in front of the stove and waiting for another 10 minutes, finally a person came in. Before Han Dong could be happy, he found out that the person who came in was his grandma and grandfather.

Seeing Han Dong wearing a sanitary cap and mask, the two smiled and said:
"Xiaodong, you are opening today, we came to see you specially, there are not many people now, there will be more people waiting for supper later."

Grandma Chen Sumei glanced at the deserted store and comforted her softly.

Grandpa Han Qingguo was nervous and said loudly:

"Xiaodong, your bunk is a bit out of the way. People usually go in when they walk to the first few houses. And you are opening, so you have to get two flower baskets at the door, right?"

Knowing that his grandma and grandpa came here from the village to care about him, Han Dong felt warm in his heart, so he quickly seated his grandma and grandpa and poured water:

"Grandma, grandpa, there are no street lights on the way back to the village at night, you two, don't come here in the future. My shop has just opened, so no one knows about it. Once they taste your grandson's handicrafts, they will definitely become repeat customers!"

"Well, you're right, I don't think any of this supper stand can compare to Xiaodong's craftsmanship!" Han Qingguo said proudly.

"Grandma, grandpa, you usually go to bed early, so you go back to rest early later."

Grandma and grandpa nodded in agreement, and found two stools nearby to sit down, adding some popularity to Han Dong's berth.

About another 5 minutes later, a couple in front came towards us.

The tall and strong boy with a dragon tattooed on his right arm was coaxing the girl and said:

"Xiaomei, we've finished walking this street, haven't you thought about what to eat yet?"

The girl pursed her lips and said delicately:

"Brother Qiang~~, people in this street are tired of eating, but our Guangnan Province has many varieties of snacks and they are delicious. Why don't they go back next month?"

"Xiaomei, didn't you agree to live here after the agreement? Our bride price is all ready." Brother Qiang said anxiously.

Xiaomei reluctantly continued to act like a baby and said:
"Brother Qiang~~~, people are not happy~, the snack street here is not good, it is far worse than ours!"

Brother Qiang is a well-known local hooligan in Tianhe County. Although he is born tall and powerful, once his girlfriend Xiaomei acts coquettishly on him, he will become uncontrollably weak all over, except in some places.

In the past few days, Xiaomei has been greedy and has been clamoring to go back to her hometown. Brother Qiang finally tricked Xiaomei into Tianhe County. If she was sent back, their wedding day would be delayed again. Brother Qiang In order to marry Xiaomei, she has been chasing Xiaomei for three years.

"Xiaomei, look, we don't seem to have eaten at this restaurant! Why don't you try it here?"

Brother Qiang saw Han Dong's food stall at the end of the street, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Xiaomei looked up, "Xiaodong food stall?" It didn't look like a restaurant that could make delicious food.

Brother Qiang put his arms around Xiaomei's shoulders, and said flatteringly:

"Let's try it first, it really doesn't work, I'll take you to Hecheng City to eat tomorrow!"

Xiaomei was pulled in reluctantly.

The two walked into the awning and came to the barbecue stand. Brother Qiang put on the aura that a local snake should have, looked down at Han Dong, and asked in a lazy tone, as if he was here to collect protection money:
"Do you have any delicious supper here?"

Han Dong finally looked forward to the first guest. Under the street lamp, Han Dong's big gold chain flashed a little dazzlingly. He turned his eyes to the side and replied neither humble nor overbearing:
"All kinds of barbecue and stir-fry in our store are delicious. You can sit down first, and there is a menu on the table."

Brother Qiang took Xiaomei to sit on the side of the grill and began to look at the menu.

Han Dong's menu was designed at the copy shop in the county for 30 yuan. The simplest one, plus printing and lamination, cost a total of 90 yuan for ten new menus.

Most of the menus are some common dishes and barbecue ingredients, and the prices are also clearly marked.

And the delicacy dug out of the mysterious mountain forest like porcini, naturally will not be printed on the menu.

For this purpose, Han Dong bought a small blackboard and put it in front of the stove, on which the daily recommended dishes can be updated.

There are three recommended dishes today:
“Vegetarian Roasted Porcini Mushrooms 38 RMB per serving”

“Porcini egg fried rice 58 yuan/serving”

“Stir-fried Pork Belly with Porcini Mushrooms 88 RMB per serving”

These three dishes are obviously much more expensive. Han Dong also thought clearly when setting the price. Although he is a food stall, he must also take care of talents of different consumption levels.

Those who don’t have money can eat egg fried rice for 8 yuan, and those who have money don’t care about spending dozens of yuan to buy boletus mushrooms to mix and match.
