Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 657 Opening

In the end, after they agreed on what to do tomorrow, they disbanded and went back.

My cousin and mother went on the way first. Chen Nian originally wanted to send Li Ting off. After all, it is more convenient to ride an electric bike, and it doesn’t take much time to go back and forth. But why would Li Ting let Master see him off?
If you want to send it off, you have to send it to Shi Niang first. Although he has no partner, he still has a lot of friends. When his friends encounter feelings, Li Ting usually helps them out. confused.

So naturally he is not the kind of person who has no eyesight.

"Master, I don't need it. I can walk back by myself. There is not much way in total, and I want to go to the convenience store to buy something later." Li Ting politely refused.

"Okay." Chen Nian was not hypocritical, since the other party said he didn't need to deliver it by himself, and also said he was going to buy something, no matter if it was true or not, he didn't have to insist on it: "Then you should slow down on the way back. "

"I know Master, I'm already this old." Li Ting greeted him with a smile and left. At this time, Chen Nian and An Hongdou were left in the store.

Earlier, Feng Honghong and Lu Xiao had already left, and they didn't want to disturb the two of them too much. Usually, everyone is busy with work, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other, so at this time, it is necessary to give them more time to get along time.

But the road where An Hongdou's house is located is exactly the same as Chen Nian's house, except that An Hongdou lives about a kilometer further away.

So when Chen Nian was riding a bicycle with An Hongdou home, he met Feng Honghong and the other two on the road.

"Then I'll send the red beans back first." Chen Nian came to the two of them and squeezed the brake to stop the car from going so fast, then turned his head and said.

"It's okay, let's go, otherwise it's not safe for Hongdou to go alone at night." Feng Honghong said.

"Yes, but you two should also pay attention to safety, and ride slowly." Lu Xiao also urged.

"Understood, then let's go first." Chen Nian said and accelerated the accelerator, while An Hongdou waved goodbye to his future cousin and mother.

"Red bean, goodbye!"

"Hongdou, see you tomorrow!"

It was only after they walked away that Chen Nian realized it: "No, why didn't the two of them say goodbye to me, just say goodbye to you?"

"Don't you want to go back later? Say goodbye?"

"That's true." Chen Nian nodded, but no matter what he thought in his heart, he felt that he was ignored by them, so he muttered again: "I have to ask them when I go back later."

……

Not long after, Chen Nian rode his bicycle to the outside of the community where An Hongdou was.

But now that their relationship has gotten a few steps closer, Chen Nian naturally doesn't need to pretend to be reserved and only send red beans outside the community.

Still coming directly to the door, Hongdou raised his hand and swiped his card, and he swaggered in on his bike.

In this way, he didn't stop until he got downstairs, watching An Hongdou go home.

"Okay, I'm here, wait a minute and slow down on the road, look at the car more, don't ride too fast, remember to call me when you get home."

"No problem, then let's meet on the phone later." Chen Nian also waved his hand.

It wasn't until seeing An Hongdou's figure entering the building that he turned and went home.

Early the next morning, Chen Nian got up and went to the Honghong Hotel to prepare breakfast.

Xie Yu, He Hai, Qiao Zhaomei, and Li Ting had all discussed it. In the grouping, Qiao Zhaomei was in a group with He Hai, and Li Ting was in a group with his cousin Xie Yu.

In terms of the shift cycle, they plan to come week by week, half a month is too long, and changing every day is easy to make mistakes, and it is too tiring.

Just change it once a week.

And they have also agreed that if anyone has something to do, they can ask someone else to take over, but in that case, they will have to hand over this part of the overtime salary to the other party.

That's fair.

I can work overtime for you, but you have to give me all your overtime pay, because this is extra work, so I can't give you the overtime, and you get the money.

Firstly, it’s not authentic, and secondly, people won’t be willing to take your class if you do it a few more times.

Everyone here is young, so when it comes to this kind of thing, no one has any objection, but agrees with both hands and feet.

And it was He Hai and Qiao Zhaomei who came this week.

After the two of them did breakfast work today, they could go back early in the afternoon.

Lu Xiao also went to the store early. Although the store has not officially opened yet, everything in the store has been done and the sign has been put up.

It will officially open in a few hours.

But different from the current vintage, she still has to be busy alone from the beginning to the end.

Prepare the ingredients, check the various utensils, and create a variety of cakes and cookies and treats.

Some need to be baked, some need to be mounted, some need to be steamed, and some need to be placed in the freezer after they are done.

What needs to be steamed is the way of dim sum that Chen Nian taught her at the beginning.

Most of those have to be steamed before being allowed to cool.

But she used to come here in the same way. She had a cake shop in her hometown. She was busy at the beginning and was responsible for all the work from the beginning to the end. That is to say, the business got better and better, and she was really busy. The family came to help.

However, the people in her family are also very good, and it is not like the TV show, the parents are eccentric and insist on making her, the older sister, pay something for her younger brother.

Whether it's her mother or her brother, everyone is willing to help. Anyway, her brother didn't look for a job after graduation, but went home directly to prepare for the civil service exam.

Help out when you have time, and save a day if you take online classes.

As a result, he failed the civil servant exam, but he learned all kinds of cakes in the cake shop.

So Lu Xiao left with peace of mind, but during the period of looking for a new store and renovation, Lu Xiao called home and found out that his younger brother is doing well now, and the business is no worse than when she was here.

And after careful consideration, the other party decided to follow her sister to continue this business, that is, she wanted to buy this store, because even if Lu Xiao left the store at home, it still belonged to her in name.

But Lu Xiao agreed after thinking about it, but it was her younger brother, so she didn't ask for more money, and sold the store to the other party at a price that was [-]% lower than the market price.

And the younger brother also knows that Lu Xiao, the elder sister, is helping him, so he doesn't want to take advantage of her elder sister, because the elder sister has just opened a shop in Chengdu, and there are many places to spend money.

In addition, although he himself had some savings, it was not enough to buy the store, so he borrowed an extra 15 when borrowing money from his friends, and made up for it to Lu Xiao.

He also said that he would leave [-]% of his sister's dividend at that time, and at the end of the year no matter how much he earned, he would put [-]% into Lu Xiao's card.

After all, these crafts and various skills of opening a shop were all taught to him by his sister.

We are a family, and my younger brother also knows how to be grateful.

So now Lu Xiao puts all his body, mind and energy on this store in Chengdu. If this store fails to open, he will lose most of his savings for so many years.

At around [-] o'clock in the morning, this is the bustling time on the street. Not to mention the people who go to work and school, it is mainly the mothers who live at home and the uncles and aunts who live nearby.

Uncles and aunts usually go out to buy vegetables and visit the morning market earlier, or exercise, and it is almost time to go home now.

After sending their children to school, mothers also need to buy some food or other daily necessities to go home.

It was at this time that Lu Xiao's cake shop officially opened.

The flower baskets sent by friends were placed at the door, and there were also banners hanging on it saying the opening ceremony, followed by various activities.

There is also a sign next to it, and the above content is also the content of the opening activities.

The store was cleaned spotlessly, and all kinds of cakes and pastries filled the cabinets.

However, it is worth mentioning that there is a special area here for dim sum, and these dim sum are exactly what Chen Nian taught her.

On the basis of aging, Lu Xiao improved the production process in his previous attempts. After all, the utensils used now are quite different from before.

In addition, she also changed the appearance to make the dim sum more attractive. The higher the value of the appearance, the more customers will naturally be attracted. People don't necessarily buy it either.

However, the way Lu Xiao improved his appearance was not by making any weird shapes, but by enriching the colors in it. Of course, he used the juice he squeezed out of the food for coloring.

In this way, the flavor of the dim sum itself can be enriched even more.

After Chen Nian saw it, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up and praised his cousin for her skills.

But soon after opening, the first batch of customers.

It was some of the people who had been to the Honghong Restaurant for breakfast before. While they were eating breakfast, Feng Honghong kept promoting that his niece next door opened a cake shop. cheers.

Most of the guests who had breakfast here lived nearby. During this period of time, they knew that the next door was being renovated. They had asked about it before, but they didn't expect it to open now.

So after going home after breakfast and resting for a while, I decided to come over to have a look. After all, there are not many things that elderly people can do.

And more importantly, this store has just opened and there are activities, so the price must be cheap.

Anyway, usually they would occasionally buy some cakes, snacks, biscuits and the like to go home, so why not do it now that they have cheap things, not to mention that they are relatives of Honghong Hotel, the quality should be guaranteed.

After all, everyone is a neighbor or something. If you cheat me, everyone in the whole street will know that tomorrow, even if the cake shop is opened by your relatives, but you are the same, and you will inevitably be judged.

At the Red Hotel, those who distributed leaflets went to distribute leaflets, and those who maintained order stayed at the door to maintain order.

Lu Xiao in the store is making cakes and occasionally accepting cash. As a day-to-day clerk, An Hongdou is mainly responsible for helping customers weigh, explaining some problems related to activities, and taking charge of cash register when Lu Xiao is too busy. .

Several cameras have been set up in the store for shooting.

Didn't make a big fuss.

But soon someone recognized An Hongdou. Even wearing a hat and mask, it is easy to recognize each other through a person's eyes.

"Red bean? Is that you? Red bean?"

"it's me."

"Why are you here? Did you open this store?"

"No, it was opened by my boyfriend's sister. I'm here to help."

"Is your boyfriend the boss Chen next door?"

"Yes."

An Hongdou admitted it frankly.

Soon the fan who recognized An Hongdou bought more than 200 yuan of cakes and snacks out of excitement.

In the follow-up, some people recognized An Hongdou, but most people still didn't notice it. After all, Hongdou is a typical song star who is not popular, and the only MV that showed his face and became popular is the costume.

Even if there is a modern plot, the later part of the costume is so impressive that it will make people dilute the previous memory.

Coupled with wearing a mask, fans who don't particularly like red beans will basically not recognize it.

There are also some fans who want to ask An Hongdou to sign them, but Hongdou doesn't want to stretch, so he just signed his name on the small ticket at the back when he finally checked out, so that other customers won't think too much when they see it.

But soon the red restaurant will start to prepare dishes, and everyone will go back to prepare dishes, but after the previous publicity and the first wave of customer traffic, gradually many passers-by began to see this cake shop , It just opened again, and there are so many people, curiosity arose in my heart.

Then I walked up to have a look, and found that the activities of this store seemed to be quite favorable, so I went in and bought again.

Today is the first day of opening, and Miao Miaowu did not come, otherwise, there would be so many big influencers coming over on the first day of opening, which would easily cause people to resist.

It is a great thing for a store to be popular, but if it is too popular, it will easily attract criticism. It doesn't matter what those comments are, the main reason is that some people will trip you up.

So they discussed that Wu Miaomiao could come back after a while.

And Miao Miaowu actually has her own ideas. Although she has a good relationship with Chen Nian and is best friends with An Hongdou, if the restaurant opened by Chen Nian's cousin is generally not special, she will recommend it. unfair.

So just wait and see.

But Xiao Jing didn't have so many worries.

The difference from Miao Miao Wu is that Xiao Jing has made it clear that he has a good relationship with Chen Nian. Whenever there is a new dish, he will run here, and he will come here to eat during the live broadcast when he has nothing to do.

Including later, Xiao Jing specially drew a picture and sent it to Honghong Hotel.

So when it opened, Xiao Jing came over with a camera.
