Chapter 107 New Business
Selling cold pot skewers in the summer and Oden in the winter. Isn’t it wonderful that one stall does not only have to do business for half a year?
Moreover, such a small stall has low investment, small space, and only one laborer. It is also easier to operate. It is a type that is easier to franchise than Xia Ji Food Stall.
If this is done, in addition to the four Xia Ji food stalls in the entire Jinqiu County, there will be many more Xia Ji skewers, and the business will gradually grow!
The more Xia Mingyue thought about it, the more promising she felt. Regardless of everyone’s surprised looks, she only looked for paper in the house, then went to the kitchen to find charcoal strips, and began to write and draw on the paper. .
Write a plan for the Xia Ji Chuan Bar and draw a structural diagram of the Chuan Bar stall so that the carpenter can make one as soon as possible to see what it looks like.
Seeing Xia Mingyue getting so busy, although Jiang Zhuguo didn't understand what she was planning, he helped spread the paper and went to the kitchen to get the burned charcoal strips.
Lu and others looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Xia Mingyue was busy with.
Xia Mingyue was busy from dusk to late at night. She also made changes to the drawings. She didn't stop even when the moon went down. She even got up the next morning after having breakfast and went to look for Got Cao Carpenter.
Carpenter Cao looked at the drawing Xia Mingyue gave him for a long time, "I understand, this thing can also be done..."
However, he really couldn't figure out what the two holes on the top of the desk were.
Moreover, opening such a round hole in a whole piece of wood was quite a test of his carpenter's skills.
"In that case, I'll bother Uncle Cao." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "Uncle Cao, remember to choose a strong and durable board, the size should not be different, and then paint it with a layer of tung oil."
Tung oil is moisture-proof and anti-corrosive, and it looks shiny. It is easy to clean and looks clean when the time comes.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Xia." Carpenter Cao agreed. After sending Xia Mingyue away, he put aside other less urgent tasks and started doing Xia Mingyue's work first.
This kind of slightly challenging job is also a bit exciting!
After explaining this matter, Xia Mingyue went to the street to look for an earthen pot of suitable size. In the afternoon, she went to Beicheng District to find Liu Caisheng to make a small stove, and then tried to find He Shunzi to buy bamboo. The matter of signing...
As soon as she had the time, Xia Mingyue continued to make fish balls at home.
The fish balls are made more and more skillfully, and the efficiency continues to improve. Xia Mingyue even improved and upgraded a filling fish ball based on the basic fish balls.
The fish balls are filled with juicy meat sauce. When you eat them, the skin of the fish balls is chewy and full of flavor, while the inside is overflowing with gravy and full of flavor.
Double deliciousness, twice as delicious!
Xia Mingyue was very excited about making fish balls, and the things she ordered everywhere were also completed one after another.
Bamboo sticks, stoves, oiled paper cups, earthen pots, wooden tables...
After everything was ready, Xia Mingyue picked a place on West Street and started to set up a stall. .
The signboard hanging on the stall is still Xia Ji's, but there are four more words - Cold Pot Chuanchuan, but these four words are slightly smaller. People passing by look up and see what they see Two big "Xia Ji".
And when they saw Xia Mingyue and Lu, they were both surprised.
Has Lady Xia opened another food stall?
But the previous food stall is clearly not far away, and here is another one...
Robbing your own business?
With questions and curiosity, many regular customers of Xia Ji came up to see what was going on. They wanted to find out what was going on. When they saw the food stall in front of Xia Mingyue and Lu, it was different from the previous one. When my Xia Ji was completely different, I suddenly realized.
Got it, it’s new eating.
But this food looks a bit strange. On the left side of the table is a steaming earthen pot, with a lot of bamboo sticks boiled in it. On the right side is still an earthen pot, which is full of fragrant chili oil with a layer of white sesame seeds and soaked in it. There were a lot of bamboo sticks, and strings of raw vegetables were placed in the bamboo basket at the front.
Potatoes, lotus root slices, tofu skin, vegetarian chicken, tenderloin slices, pork belly slices...
"Mrs. Xia, what is this?" Someone pointed at that The skewers are white, tender and round.
"Hand-made fish balls." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile, "The balls made of fish meat, this one is solid, this one is stuffed, also called stuffed fish balls."
"Then these vegetable skewers How to eat meat skewers and how to sell them? "
"After boiling, let it cool and soak in the sauce. This is called cold pot. Just eat the skewers when you eat them."
Xia Mingyue took out some vegetable skewers that were almost soaked in the sauce, "Taste it?"
The other party was a regular customer of Xia Ji, and he was not polite at this moment. He took the vegetarian chicken skewers dipped in red oil sauce and put them in his mouth.
The vegetarian chicken is a soy product and has a mellow taste. Now it is covered with sauce, which makes it even more fragrant and delicious. It fills your mouth with a spicy and delicious taste.
“It’s delicious.” The man spoke vaguely while eating, “How do you sell these cold skewers?” "Eight fish balls." Xia Mingyue said.
When this price was announced, everyone was stunned.
It’s not cheap!
But if you think about it carefully, this skewer is very dense, and the meat skewer is not small. The most important thing is that the sauce tastes really good...
The food here at Lady Xia is vegetarian. It’s famous for its delicious taste and fair price. Since it’s so expensive, there’s a reason why it’s so expensive!
If you are worried about money, then don’t buy food outside. Just buy groceries and cook them yourself.
Because of this mentality and the fact that they are unable to resist the delicious taste of cold pot skewers, many people have already picked up the money bags tied around their waists.
“Two skewers of fish balls, two skewers of tenderloin, and three skewers of vegetarian chicken!”
"I want two bunches of pork belly, one bunch of potatoes, one bunch of lotus root slices, and one bunch of fungus."
"Three bunches of bean skins, one bunch of radishes..."
Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi Started busy collecting money and distributing cold pot skewers.
Three or more skewers can be taken with you in a greased paper cup, making it very convenient to eat on the go or take it home.
As for those who only wanted to try one or two skewers, they didn’t care whether there was a greased paper cup or not, and just stuffed it into their mouths directly near the stall.
There are also many people who want to order a bunch of skewers at first to try them out. After eating them, they feel that the taste is really good, so they simply order some more and take them home to eat slowly.
The business of Xia Ji Cold Pot Chuanchuan is better than Xia Mingyue expected.
More than an hour later, the vegetable skewers and meat skewers prepared today have been sold out, with not much left.
The last person to come saw that there were a few scattered skewers that they didn’t like, so in the end they could only reluctantly choose two to satisfy their craving.
After the last bunch of radish slices were sold, Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi began to pack their things.
