Chapter 130 The New Crisis
After noon, Baozhu went into the kitchen as usual, and the two of them prepared the ingredients in advance, usually two grass carp were used every day, diced meat, beaten egg liquid, and the trivial ingredients were prepared in the same way, gradually in the afternoon There will be another peak season, but there has been a slight change in the past few days. Originally, one large grass carp per day has dropped to half a small one, and there are also diced meat and side vegetarian dishes prepared in advance.

It was like this for several days.

Seeing that Baozhu was a bit dull, Liangdong smiled and stepped forward to comfort him: "I saw the dog days, it was like a hot steamer outside, and it is reasonable to say that there are fewer customers. After a while, the weather will cool down, maybe the business will turn around." .”

Baozhu nodded, but she was thinking about another thing. When it was hot in the past, the number of tourists could still be maintained at 600 a day, but it has dropped significantly in the past few days. If it is related to the hot weather, how can it be There will be a sudden loss of two or three hundred people, which is really unreasonable.

Thinking back carefully in the past month, the shop's recipes are established, and Brother Liangdong has gradually been able to keep up with his own craftsmanship for more than a dozen dishes. In addition, she has personally checked the dishes, so naturally there is nothing wrong with the dishes.As for the cleanliness of the shop, she put down the kitchen knife, opened the curtain and wandered around in the living room. Ever since her cousin came, she has never worried about the cleanliness outside.

Ever since she opened a fast food restaurant in the county, there were not many imitated shops, but it didn't affect her business at all, which made her more confident in her craftsmanship.

However, the sudden reduction in business still hit her hard.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out why, so she chose a table by the window and sat down, watching Zhaodi kicking shuttlecock in the yard, wondering how she could be so happy by herself, she kicked for a while, suddenly from the Seeing Baozhu through the window, she ran in with a smile, "At this time, there are always guests here, but this one didn't come. I'm playing and watching at the door."

Baozhu frowned and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong, the previous ones were fine, could it be that my cousin said it was too hot?"

Zhaodi opened the chair and sat down opposite her, resting her chin with both hands, "Why don't sister go outside to sell things later?"

Baozhu glanced at her, "What's the trick?"

Zhaodi giggled, "Just like when we sold candied haws when we were young, you're always not as loud as I am!" She thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "Go to sell along several streets in the county, say No guests allowed?"

Baozhu shook her head, firstly she was reluctant to go out and suffer in such a hot day, and secondly, she always believed that she couldn't find the source of the problem, and she couldn't solve the problem by selling for a few days.

Chen Cuixi was lying on the counter shaking the cattail fan, "Don't worry, it's only been a few days? Let's wait for a few more days, maybe it's because it's too hot." He stretched out his hand and tugged on the front, "Oh, this year's day It’s so hot, it’s only May! It’s so hot it’s like summer heat.”

As soon as the words fell, Jide strode into the door from the outside with a food box in hand. He put the food box down, reached out and snatched the flapping fan from his mother's hand, fanned himself for a long time without saying a word, and accepted the gesture. I drank the tea I went there, and then I was out of breath and said: "I heard that Kou Fu Lou also sells fast food, I went to have a look today, the price, tsk tsk, is more affordable than our Chen Ji!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the food box forward, "I haven't bothered to take a bite, it's so hot!"

Baozhu's heart skipped a beat, and she stood up, "Isn't Koufulou a big restaurant? How can you sell fast food like us?" If she remembers correctly, Koufulou is a high-end restaurant in the county!If you want to have a good meal, you can't do without a few taels of silver.

"Hi!" Jide sighed, "Don't you know, there are some new branches in front of Kou Fu Lou, specializing in fast food. When I went there today, they had more dishes than our shop!"

Chen Cuixi also frowned and walked out from the counter, and lifted the lid of the food box, "Hey! You brat, what you want is quite generous, tsk tsk!" She forced a few words through her teeth, "Braised pork Kung Pao Chicken! Kidney Beans! They are all expensive guys! Thank you for spending that money!" After speaking, he reached out and slapped him on the forehead.

While avoiding his mother nimbly, Jide said angrily: "What is mother doing, she keeps beating me! These are specially brought here for Sister Baozhu to taste!" He listened to their conversations at dinner these days, and guessed the business of the shop. Something went wrong, he didn't say anything on the face, but he was worried about Baozhu in his heart, his mind was always bright, and after a short reaction, he felt that there might be a competitor in the county, so he slipped out the next day to have a look. I saw the newly opened fast food branch of Kou Fu Lou, the decoration is still the same as before, but the price of the dishes is staggering, let’s not talk about the price of the dishes, the menu alone is much richer than Chen Ji’s, he just stayed After a while, seeing the crowds of people inside, I became worried about Baozhu.Hastily brought some public dishes for them to taste.

Chen Cuixi came back for a while, stared at him, ignored him, glanced at Baozhu, and pushed the food box, "Baby Zhu, come and taste first, let's see what good taste they can come up with?"

Baozhu pursed her lips, went into the kitchen and took a few pairs of chopsticks out, and handed a pair to each of them, "Let's each take a bite and tell us how we feel."

Baozhu first stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. After a little taste, the meat was crispy, delicious and delicious. The sauce, salt and sugar were handled very well. Judging by her professional eyes, it can be regarded as the best. , in terms of color alone, the thick oily red sauce is even more authentic in taste.After just one bite, she slumped her shoulders and sighed: "I have nothing to say about this taste. The chef behind it must be a lot. Such an authentic taste cannot be found in a small shop."

The rest of the people also ate the braised pork one after another.

Tang Bao picked up a few bucks in a row, smacked his lips and sighed: "The taste is not the same as that made by Baozhu. Speaking of it carefully, they really sell it as cheap as us?"

Even Jide shook his head and sighed, "It's really delicious." After thinking about it, he curled his lips and said in an extremely disdainful tone, "These three dishes are two meat and one vegetable, and they sell for 45 yuan in total!"

Everyone was shocked, and he said slowly: "How about it, be scared, let's not talk about the price of the vegetables, for a restaurant with such wealth and wealth as Koufulou, the chef must be selected from all over the world. On this point, how can we compare!" At the end, he glanced at Zhaodi, "What did Zhaodi say?"

Zhaodi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Baozhu without blinking her round eyes, "I still think girls do better!"

She stretched out her hand and held Baozhu tightly, and whispered in her ear: "But I still want to tell my sister the truth, the food made by his family is not bad." "Sister, don't be angry with my sister, I won't eat his home from now on!"

Chen Cuixi put the bowls and chopsticks back again, and put her hands on her hips, "What's so delicious! You foodies, do you have to keep your girls from coming to the stage?" At the end, she looked at the window and sighed softly, "It's really not bad."

Uncle Baozhu came out of the stove a long time ago. Seeing this situation, he smiled and patted Baozhu's shoulder, and said in relief: "If you want to be more open, what others do well is also their ability, and there is always no way!"

Liang Dong followed behind him, and also reached out to pat her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Miss Baozhu, let's cheer up these few days, and the business will gradually improve."

Chen Cuixi responded with a smile, "Dongwa is right, let them clean up and clean the windows later, we can't just..."

"Frustrated!" Jide interjected with a slight curl of his lips.

Baozhu smiled and shook her head, "That's okay, the shop next door has already endangered our business, what's the use of cheering up." She looked at the clean and bright window and sighed, "Brothers and sisters, rest Go ahead, don't wipe the window, it's already very clean." Finished speaking.Rubbing his temples, he sat down, "Let me think of a way."

Everyone dispersed spontaneously, only Zhaodi and Jide were still sitting silently in front of her in a daze.

Baozhu thought for a while, and asked Jide: "Cousin, how is the situation of their branch today, how good is the business?"

Ji De hummed and said concisely, "Overcrowded."

Baozhu nodded, and an idea came to her mind, but it was just a general idea. Thinking that many people are always powerful, she discussed with them: "Koufulou is the largest restaurant in the county. The chef, tableware, seasoning, etc. The best is the best at the moment, if you want to compete with the dishes..." She paused, and was organizing her words, Jide then said: "Of course each family has its own advantages, and we Chen Ji are not afraid to compete with them. We are on the same level, but we are always at a disadvantage compared to the rich and powerful Koufulou. In terms of financial resources alone, there is a big difference. We have worked hard for half a year, but we have only rebuilt the stove, bought new tables and chairs, kitchen utensils, and bowls Chopsticks, even the second floor is not in operation yet. The branch of Koufulou is already a large shop with three floors, and under the intersection, it is different from each other."

Baozhu nodded, secretly lamenting that Jide's mind was spinning fast, "My cousin and I have thought of a place. So I thought, according to the current situation, why don't we use our brains together and add some things that they don't have in Koufulou?" Something, or a combination of dishes that break through the tradition." Paused, blushing slightly, "As for what it is, I haven't come up with a specific one yet."

Chen Cuixi listened to them talking for a while, and sighed, "It's better if they don't have something, and they can't learn it!" She muttered angrily: "This time, it's really troublesome. Those fast food restaurants that followed suit in the county used to open Just kidding, when have we ever been afraid! Alas, Koufulou’s move is different. It’s only been open for a few days, and our customers have left a lot. After that, they may all be robbed by them! What to say Those in charge don’t know what they’re thinking, instead of earning a lot of money, they want to compete with our small fast food restaurant and suffer a thousand knives!”
