Wu Qian was completely conquered by the deliciousness of the sausage and steamed rice. How could such a delicious meal not be accompanied by some dishes? Wu Qian was originally from City S. She met her husband in college and finally married into City H. If she had changed many living habits since coming here, there was one thing she couldn't change, and that was her love for spicy food.
"Boss, add more Hangzhou peppers. The spicier, the better!"
Yuan Tiantian was happy to see Wu Qian enjoying her meal. This was her second customer. The first one had to be served in a hurry due to objective reasons, so she couldn't be careless this time! Therefore, she readily met Wu Qian's request.
Yuan Tiantian was busy in the kitchen. A plate of scrambled eggs with Hangzhou peppers was quickly ready. The Hangzhou peppers were among the ingredients she had ordered before, and the eggs were the special ones laid by her hard - working hen.
The dish was a beautiful combination of green and yellow. The spiciness of the Hangzhou peppers couldn't even overpower the fragrance of the eggs. When Yuan Tiantian brought it out, Wu Qian had already silently finished half a bowl of rice. Seeing the dish served, she immediately dug in.
One bite, and the spiciness mixed with the sweetness of the eggs. Her taste buds were satisfied.
"Boss, you don't look very old, but you're really good at cooking!" Wu Qian complimented Yuan Tiantian after swallowing the food in her mouth. The latter just smiled at her without saying a word.
The sun had already set. Yuan Tiantian thought there shouldn't be any more customers today, and then she instructed Bai Ying.
"Go to the chicken coop outside and collect the eggs."
She had built a nest in front of the food store for the hard - working hen and raised it there. Now the hen was chubby. Aunt Qianhua came by and praised her for raising it well, even asking how she did it.
Yuan Tiantian couldn't answer this question because she had hardly done anything except feed it egg grass!
Yuan Tiantian returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the three of them. They already had rice, but of course, the remaining large pot of sausage and steamed rice was not enough for Bai Ying. Fortunately, she had cooked two pots of ordinary white rice, which should be enough for this glutton!
Unexpectedly, just as Yuan Tiantian put the beaten eggs into the steamer, Aunt Qianhua's loud voice reached her ears.
"Little Yuan, I've brought you some customers!"
Yuan Tiantian walked out of the kitchen and saw five women following Aunt Qianhua. They were about the same age as Aunt Qianhua. Before Yuan Tiantian could ask, Aunt Qianhua told her what had happened.
"Today is your opening day. Didn't our family have lunch here at noon? After that, my husband went back to the village and told everyone how delicious the food here was. He even made an announcement through the village loud - speaker. When I went back this afternoon, these sisters came to me and wanted to try your cooking!"
Yuan Tiantian immediately smiled. Aunt Qianhua was being modest and downplaying her own contribution, but Yuan Tiantian knew clearly that it must have been Aunt Qianhua's family who helped with the publicity. She owed them this favor.
"It's just the opening day, and the menu is limited today. Aunts, order whatever you like. It's all 50% off!"
Yuan Tiantian handed the menu to Aunt Qianhua. After looking at it, they were all surprised by the prices. However, since they had come out of goodwill, they wouldn't leave. Besides, with the 50% discount, it wasn't that expensive.
"There aren't many dishes. We'll have one serving of each dish except the fried rice with lard and eggs, and six bowls of sausage rice."
Yuan Tiantian agreed and then shouted outside, "Bai Ying, come back and help!"
Why was it taking so long to collect the eggs? Yuan Tiantian frowned, but soon someone gave her an explanation.
"Are you talking about that tall and handsome young man?"
Yuan Tiantian nodded and looked at the aunt behind Aunt Qianhua. Then the aunt said, "He's gone to do something. When I came in, I saw the young man walking towards the intersection. It seems a group of people came there."
A group of people?
Yuan Tiantian was puzzled, but she first arranged seats for Aunt Qianhua and the others. After they sat down, Yuan Tiantian went to pour each of them a glass of lemonade.
At this time, Wu Qian had also finished her meal. "Boss, check out."
"The total is 70 yuan."
The price Yuan Tiantian quoted made Wu Qian stunned. It should be 140 yuan. "Boss, did you miscalculate? I also had five glasses of lemonade. Don't under - calculate."
Wu Qian kindly reminded her. Yuan Tiantian immediately explained, "I'm giving you a 50% discount today. If you like it, welcome to come again next time."
Of course, it was nice to get a discount. Wu Qian walked to the cash register and scanned Yuan Tiantian's Alipay QR code. 70 yuan was transferred.
Wu Qian picked up the lemonade and left contentedly. Yuan Tiantian also took the steamed eggs out of the steamer and was about to start cooking for Aunt Qianhua and the others. Unexpectedly, there came a series of clear female voices in the hall.
Yuan Tiantian went out to have a look. Goodness, ten young girls had come!
Bai Ying was leading them to their seats, dividing them into three tables in total. After giving them the menus, Bai Ying came to Yuan Tiantian, raising his eyebrows proudly.
"These customers are all the result of my work today. You can't cut down my food tonight!"
Yuan Tiantian rolled her eyes silently. Wasn't this the result of his good looks attracting people? However, it was good that he could bring in customers!
"Don't worry. You won't go hungry!"
After that, the tables had all ordered. Similar to Aunt Qianhua and the others, each table ordered one serving of each dish, and each person had a bowl of sausage and steamed rice. In addition, each table also ordered a serving of fried rice with lard and eggs.
The dishes were easy to handle. The main problem was the staple food. There were still about 20 bowls of sausage and steamed rice left. The special rice cooker was very big, and Yuan Tiantian had filled it up today. However, the fried rice with lard and eggs would have to wait. Although there was some ordinary rice ready, Yuan Tiantian still wanted to use the rice cooked in the special rice cooker.
"The fried rice with lard and eggs will take a little longer. There's no problem with the other dishes. Can you wait?"
As soon as Yuan Tiantian finished asking, a young girl loudly replied.
"Yes, yes. Boss, it's okay if you take your time. We're not in a hurry!"
After saying that, she shyly glanced at Bai Ying. Seeing Bai Ying look at her, she excitedly whispered to the other girls around her.
Yuan Tiantian found it funny. They just wanted to feast their eyes on the good - looking guy. However, she didn't give them this chance because she dragged Bai Ying into the kitchen to help.
As soon as Bai Ying came in, he saw Xiuxiu eating steamed eggs and sausage and steamed rice. He immediately gave Yuan Tiantian a mournful look, the meaning was obvious.
"Come on, Xiuxiu is a child and can't be hungry. After this busy period, besides the steamed eggs, I'll make more of these dishes for you. Okay?"
After hearing this, Bai Ying slightly curled his lips, but still pretended to be reserved. "It's barely okay."
Barely okay? Yuan Tiantian found it funny in her heart, but her hands didn't slow down. After dividing the sausage and steamed rice, she cooked another large pot of rice. Even if they couldn't finish it tonight, it would be a good choice to make fried rice for breakfast tomorrow.
However, this idea didn't come true because another group of customers came, and they were also brought by an acquaintance.
"Boss, do you still have fried rice with lard and eggs?"
