Stall setting starts from Malatang

Chapter 312 Chapter 312, Fast Food 2
Before the peak meal time, Lin Xiaojian had already sold dozens of Mala Tang, but the box lunch stand was deserted.Visitors who often participate in the exhibition know that the rest area must be crowded after the meal time. Don’t talk about finding a seat at that time, it would be nice to have a place for you to squat. It’s better to sit and have a good meal while you are free now.

Around 10:[-], a large number of spectators poured into the rest area, waving their mobile phones and banknotes, snapping up any kind of food that could quickly fill their stomachs.Especially for large exhibitors, they order dozens of lunch boxes at once, and it takes a long time just to pack them for them.Lin Xiaojian couldn't take this kind of order. Only lunch boxes that had been packaged and placed in a thermal insulation tool could meet their requirements.

These boxed meals are nominally two meat and two vegetarian meals, but in fact the dishes are pitifully small, and the set menus have quite fancy names, such as "steamed pork ribs with carrots, stewed beef with potatoes, and stewed pork trotters with soybeans", etc., but there is only a little bit of meat.The two meat dishes add up to less meat than the same meat dish at the market. A box lunch of this quality can be sold for up to 10 yuan at the market, but it costs 20 yuan here.The packaged one is more expensive at 25.

Most of those who come out to eat before the peak meal time are free and are willing to order slowly, wait for it to be hot, and sit and eat slowly.And at this time, people are in a hurry to eat, and they can't wait to go back to the stall after eating one bite. Even if Xiaolin Malatang doesn't have to queue, they will not choose this place, and they don't have the leisurely mood.

Lin Xiaojian doesn't particularly care about this situation. Of course he likes money, but he values ​​word of mouth more and has his own business rhythm.Even if you think about it from a utilitarian point of view, you have to accumulate steadily. He has a system in his body, and sooner or later he will become famous. There is no need to give up principles for quick money.

The biggest difference between him and those stall owners next to him is that he didn’t pay the booth fee. Those stall owners who paid the five-figure booth fee had to race against time. They had to sell more than a certain amount every hour, or they would even earn the entrance fee. not coming back.

For him, participating in this exhibition is mainly to gain experience. If he disrupts the rhythm in order to earn a few dollars, it is putting the cart before the horse.

At 11:00, the rest area was completely bursting with people everywhere, and there was a long queue in front of every stall, especially Xiaolin Malatang stall.It wasn't until two customers shoved and knocked each other's dishes to the ground because of ordering food that Lin Xiaojian realized why many people thought his model was problematic.

The length of the display cabinet is more than two meters. This size is just right for 4 people, and it will be a bit crowded if it is more.The glass doors of the display cabinets can only be opened halfway, not all the way.At this time, there were not only 4 people, but 14 people on the scene.Everyone was starving, rushing forward, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, whoever ordered the food first would eat first, the crowd was a mess.

Not only Xiaolin Malatang is like this, but other stalls are like this, but the situation here is particularly serious because of the need to order dishes.Other merchants have a set meal system, 15/20/30, customers can eat whatever the merchant sells, there is no room for choice.This is one of the reasons why Kobayashi Malatang is so popular. There will inevitably be dishes that you don’t like in the set meal. If you have a choice, who wouldn’t want to order dishes that suit your taste?

Seeing this situation, Lin Xiaojian hurriedly asked Xiaohu to maintain order.

In addition, the biggest problem just now is tableware recycling.There are not enough private areas in the exhibition for customers to eat in the stalls, and they can only take their tableware to the public area to sit.As a result, the recycling of casserole became a problem, and Aunt Feng would go to the casserole with a passing dish every once in a while.In addition, there are relatively few places in the public area. Many customers find a corner with a casserole and sit anywhere with a newspaper. arrive.

The situation at the Fengyuan Food Festival is similar to this, but at that time Lin Xiaojian used the same packaged bowls as his neighbors now, and he just threw them in the trash can after eating.After Aunt Feng went to look for it several times, Lin Xiaojian stopped using casserole pots and used them all in packing boxes.

He had considered this issue before he came, but he just felt that the flavor in a packed bowl would be much worse than that in a casserole. Thinking that the public area is not far from him, it should be easy to find a casserole.It’s just that he didn’t expect the traffic to be too large. His initial idea was to put Malatang in a take-out bowl, seafood in a casserole, and abandon the car to keep him handsome, so as to ensure that the flavor of the seafood stewed in the casserole will not be lost to the greatest extent.But the actual result made him have to give up all casserole solutions and use packing bowls instead.

However, in this way, the consumption rate of the packed bowls increased sharply. Before 11:[-], half of the packed bowls brought in were used up.He hurriedly asked his neighbors to borrow it, but everyone refused indifferently, so he had to ask Brother Chao to go out and buy more.

Fortunately, Brother Chao was worried and asked for leave today to help. There will be one more person in the stall, otherwise these trivial matters would affect the work of anyone.

The messy scene in the rest area attracted the attention of the volunteers who maintained order.The management of the venue is dynamic. At the beginning, the audience crowded in line at the door, and the volunteers were all there to help check tickets at the door to maintain order.Now that the pressure at the door is lessened, the team manager immediately arranged for two groups of four men and four women to go to the rest area to maintain order and assist the cleaning staff and catering suppliers. Tong Bin was among them.

"I said why the scent is so familiar and attracts so many customers, it really is you, Boss Xiaolin!"

"It is you!"

Lin Xiaojian was busy boiling the casserole with sweat profusely. He didn't even have time to wipe his forehead. He didn't even lift his head when he heard the sound.

The task he arranged for himself was to heat the casserole and pay attention to the order in the stall. Chen Dagang was mainly responsible for boiling the dishes. Zhang Guofu's shop used to use this kind of electric noodle cooker, and it was not difficult to get started.

"Boss, baby food is gone!"

"Boss, is there any duck blood left?"

The two didn't chat for a few words, and there were a few yells urging the food in front of them. Seeing that Lin Xiaojian couldn't get away while boiling the casserole, Tong Bin took the initiative and went to the display cabinet and patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "You go to the back kitchen. Get the food, I'll watch over here."

"Good good!"

Of course Xiaohu knew him, nodded to him with relief, and hurried back to the warehouse to open the freezer, and took out all the dishes prepared in advance.

Kobayashi Malatang’s baby vegetables come in packs of three. A whole baby vegetable is cut into several pieces, each piece is tied with a rubber band, and sold by portion.

It’s okay to do this normally, you can take as much as you want, but now there are too many customers crowded in front of the display cabinet, you grab a handful, and I grab a handful, and if you grab a little force, the vegetables will be scattered, and a lot of them have fallen on the ground The leaves of the vegetables are gone, and when the soles of the shoes are stepped on, they will be wet and water-stained.

Lin Xiaojian had noticed this situation just now, but he was incapable of doing his own thing, let alone no one watching the casserole. He finally understood why Boss Zhang asked him to give up selling casserole at the exhibition.
