The loud and clear shouting...
echoed through the sky above West City Old Street.
It also caught the eyes of many custors who left empty-handed.
"Huh? That Zheng’s Breakfast Shop at the corner over there also sells beef-stuffed and pork with mushroom-stuffed fried buns, and preserved egg and lean at porridge! Why don’t we go over and try it?"
"Since we can’t get Boss Huang’s, it’s better to comfort my upset heart with a similar one. Okay, let’s go..."
"Let’s go, let’s go, I’m really craving it..."
The chubby middle-aged man, who couldn’t buy anything, advised kindly with a dejected face, "Hey, hey, hey! I advise you not to go. The taste of the new fried buns at that Zheng’s is not very good. Compared to Boss Huang’s buns, there’s still a long way to go."
"Really? How do you know?"
"My dog and I have both tried it..."
At this mont, the chubby middle-aged man rembered his husky, looked around, and said instinctively, "Huh? Where’s my dog?"
"Hahaha... Dude, is that silly husky yours? Why does it look so unhappy..."
The chubby middle-aged man looked in the pointed direction...
Oh my!
He saw his husky sitting by a tree, sitting just like a human.
The dog’s head was tilted back, with a very depressed look.
Chubby Middle-aged Man: Σ(°△°|||)︴
What’s going on?
Why so troubled?
Hey!
It’s just that you didn’t get Boss Huang’s fried buns, is it worth looking like you don’t want to live anymore?
The people are still upset~
The other custors just smiled and didn’t pay any more attention to the man and his dog.
Many people walked into Zheng’s Breakfast Shop.
However, they basically shared orders for fried buns and preserved egg and lean at porridge, each taking a bun and sharing a bowl of porridge to taste.
To taste the flavor first.
As soon as they tasted it,
they all frowned.
"I knew it, that chubby guy really didn’t deceive us! The taste of these fried buns is way inferior to the ones made by Boss Huang."
"Ah! I really regret not listening to his advice before. Tasting the sa items now just makes miss Boss Huang’s fried buns and porridge even more..."
"Isn’t it? With these buns and porridge, if I wanted to eat them, I’d just ask my wife to make them. Ten-odd bucks can cook a whole pot."
"Luckily, we were wise enough to just buy a few to try the taste. Otherwise, it would have been a huge waste..."
"Forget it, let’s go. We’ll go line up early at Boss Huang’s this afternoon!"
"Oh well, that’s the only option left~"
Who let Huang Tao’s culinary skills spoil their taste buds~
Making them disdain others’ the mont they ate them!
After tasting, they didn’t repurchase and just left.
Zheng Fugui and Lin Xiue at the side were left utterly shattered!
Is it that bad?
Indeed, there’s a certain gap compared to Huang Tao’s cooking.
But what they made isn’t bad either!
Why can’t they retain the custors~
However, what he took solace in was...
The shrimp-stuffed fried bun in their store still sold well.
This stuffing has always been the main product of his store, favored by nearby residents, and many from outside co to buy it too.
It’s also a hit on online delivery!
The most important thing is that this shrimp-stuffed bun isn’t available at Huang Tao’s shop.
He tugged Lin Xiue’s hand: "Xiue, co here, I have sothing to discuss with you."
"What’s it, old man?"
Lin Xiue followed him into the kitchen.
Zheng Fugui gestured to the chef who was busy in the kitchen, "You co over too."
The chef put down what he was doing and quickly approached.
Seeing that the key mbers were all present,
Zheng Fugui shared his thought with the two, "I’m planning to lower the prices at noon for the items sa as in Boss Huang’s shop. Five pork and mushroom-stuffed buns for 10 yuan, four beef-stuffed buns for 10 yuan, and a bowl of preserved egg and lean at porridge for 5 yuan."
As soon as he spoke, Lin Xiue strongly opposed, "Old man, are you crazy? With these prices, we hardly make any profit."
"You’re just seeing it from a narrow perspective..."
Zheng Fugui pointed a finger at Lin Xiue, "Our main goal doing promotions now is to attract custors. Once we get the popularity up, won’t we have business later? By then, we can slightly raise the prices."
Liu Xiue was rendered speechless by his retort.
Zheng Fugui turned to the chef and said, "And you, study Boss Huang’s recipe again carefully, try to cook as closely as possible to his recipe, understand?"
"Boss, I’ll do my best!"
"I want you to give it your all, fully, not just try, got it?"
"Understood, I’ll do my best."
"Alright, leave other things aside for now, study this formula quickly, it’s needed for noon."
"Okay, I’ll get right on it!"
...
anwhile, Huang Tao also sent off the diners in his shop.
He placed the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, cleaned the pot, and wiped down the stove.
He tidied up the shop briefly.
Preparing to go out to purchase the ingredients for the new products.
Before heading out, he casually brought along the reserved fried buns and porridge for Jiang Guowei.
"Jiang..."
Jiang Guowei, seeing him co over, greeted warmly, "Oh, Boss Huang, what a surprise to have you here, co in and sit..."
"No, I’m heading to the market in a bit, just thought I’d bring you the reserved items on my way." Huang Tao handed the food bag to Jiang Guowei.
"I was just thinking of going over to get them later! Didn’t expect you to bring them to personally, thank you so much."
Jiang Guowei gratefully took it, saying, "Boss Huang, we’re lucky to be your neighbors, otherwise it’d be really hard to get these fried buns and porridge."
"You’re joking, Jiang. I’m planning to hire soone soon. Once we find soone suitable, it should get a lot better." Huang Tao responded with a smile.
"You should definitely hire soone! Having to both take care of a child and run the shop, it’s overwhelming just thinking about it. Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you too."
"Thanks!"
"Between neighbors, no need for thanks, and besides, if anyone should be thanking, it’s thanking you! If it weren’t for you reserving these for us each ti, my wife and I would probably just have to sll it to crave."
"Exactly, exactly, if not for you, we really wouldn’t be able to eat these. Here, take these snacks back for Xuanxuan to eat..."
As she spoke, Chen Wenli handed Huang Tao a pre-prepared bag of snacks.
"No need, Xuanxuan’s gone to school, you should keep them to sell."
"These snacks aren’t worth much money. Just take them, let the child have them when she gets back..."
Huang Tao was about to decline again but couldn’t resist their enthusiasm, so he accepted.
"Thanks, Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, I have to go, but when the new products are out at noon, co by and try them..."
"Okay, definitely, and be safe on the road..."
After saying goodbye to Jiang Guowei, Huang Tao rode his electric scooter to the market to procure.
