Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 16 Father and Son

Ma Lu and Lao Wang have been standing at the subway entrance for 20 minutes, but they haven't been able to sell a single croquette.

During the period, some people came over, but after hearing the price, they gave up the idea of ​​trying it. Some people were attracted by the advertising picture of Laozhi Seafood from a distance, and when they walked up, they realized that they were selling fried meatloaf.

Muttered "You're crazy, you won't change your sign" and walked away.

Seeing that it was past 12 o'clock, there were gradually more and more people outside the subway entrance. Even the Henan Brother's Buddha beads bracelet stall was visited by people, not to mention the stall next to it selling grilled sausages, grilled gluten and meat buns. .

In a short period of time, some people have already done seven or eight orders of business, but Malu has not opened yet.

The enthusiastic Henan guy came over again to help with suggestions. He suggested, "This is your first time setting up a stall. When you have nothing to do, you can also make some movements with your hands and pretend to be busy. This will make it easier to attract customers." ”

Seeing Lao Wang pick up the oil pan and start waving it left and right, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly added, "It doesn't have to be such a big fight. Just wipe the stove and move the spoon and so on. Well, it's better to fry it again." There, let everyone have a reference.”

"That makes sense!" Malu gave a thumbs up, "I know this very well. Have you ever sold snacks before?"

“No, no, I’ve been selling bracelets here. I’ve seen a lot, and gradually I’ve understood that the most important thing is that you have to make it delicious so that people are willing to pay, and...”

 Brother from Henan stopped talking.

“It’s okay, brother, just say it, we are still in the early stages of starting a business, and it’s time to humbly ask for advice.”

"I'll be honest, I think the price you set is a bit too high. You can even buy a roast chicken at 18. Many people don't want to try it when they see the price. You can give a little profit in the early stage and make the business better." Let’s do it.”

Malu actually feels that 18 is a bit expensive, but when he thinks that it is made with two-star ingredients, and that two-star ingredients are not available in this universe, he feels that the price is already very conscientious. In addition, it can be seen from Xiao Yang's reaction before. It’s not that no one wants to sell 18.

The key is to let everyone realize the deliciousness of jackal meat pie.

Ma Lu was still thinking about what countermeasures he should take to attract customers, when a voice suddenly came to his ears, "Bring me a meat pie, boss."

The person who spoke was a man wearing glasses and looking polite. Next to him was a little boy of eight or nine years old, who should be his son.

As soon as he got out of the subway, the boy clamored for some sausage. When the man with glasses refused, he squatted on the ground and couldn't get up.

In the end, he couldn't resist, so the man with glasses had to take him to the stall selling grilled sausages. However, after taking a look at the dark brown oil in the pot, he took his son and walked away.

 After that, they looked at several food stalls in a row before stopping in front of Malu's three-wheeler.

 “Okay, 18 each.”

The man in glasses was stunned when he heard the quotation, and Ma Lu hurriedly added, "We use super healthy ecological desert pigs, no hormones, purely free-range, killed and slaughtered on the spot, and shipped here by air. The raw materials are good, so they are sold at a high price." "

The man with glasses was doubtful, but he still took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

Lao Wang also put the meatloaf in the pan, and when both sides were fried golden, he took out a paper bag containing pancake fruit, put shredded cabbage into it, took out the meatloaf, and was about to pour the sauce on it. Juice, but was stopped by the man with glasses.

 “What are these?”

“Lemon juice and tomato sauce are all natural, with zero additives, and we make them ourselves,” Ma Lu said.

 “Hmm.” The man with glasses looked slightly relieved. The little boy was still clamoring for grilled sausages, but after smelling the aroma of fried meat patties, he gradually stopped talking and stared straight at the frying pan.

“Be careful not to burn it.” Malu handed the freshly made meatloaf to the hands of the father and son and watched them walk away.

Although I came a little late, I finally made my first order after leaving home, but I don’t know when the second order will be.

Ma Lu looked at his phone. The current time was 12:13. He had to do something, otherwise he would miss the prime lunch period.

After making up his mind, he said to Lao Wang, "Fry four more meat patties, put two on the shelf, chop two into pieces, and take them out for tasting."

 Although price reduction is the simplest and most effective solution, Malu does not want to take this road unless it is a last resort.

 With a deliciousness index of one and a half stars, the deep-fried jackal patties are enough to sweep away 99% of the competing products on the market. They are fully worthy of the current pricing, and he has to wait at least six days each time to collect the ingredients.

Even if you go there next time, there is no guarantee that you will still be able to find jackal meat. As a delicacy that is only available for a limited time, it certainly cannot be sold too cheaply.

Ma Lu has just started taking action. Unexpectedly, the second order has already been delivered to the door, and he is still an old customer.

 The elegant man wearing glasses walked back from the other side of the road and said to Ma Lu with a tired look on his face, "Give me another croquette."

Malu turned his head and glanced at the little boy behind him. The latter was also breathing heavily at the moment, with tears on his face. He looked like he had just experienced a war. His school uniform and schoolbag were also dirty, probably. He was rolling on the ground a lot.

Ma Lu silently praised him in his heart, and said at the same time, "Okay, wait a moment."

 Lao Wang happened to have fried it in advance, and this time it only took one minute to fry the meatloaf.

The man with glasses hesitated for a moment, "Let's add one more."

He has never had a good impression of this kind of mobile food stalls. He feels that the food they sell tastes average, not as good as restaurants, or even as good as home-made food. The hygienic conditions are also worrying, and the raw materials do not know any technology and hard work.

But his son insisted on eating it and there was nothing he could do. The reason why he chose the stall at Malu was because the oil in their pot was quite clear.

As for the price, he also thinks it's a bit expensive. Raising free-range ecological pigs in the desert sounds outrageous, but the raw materials of this company may indeed be better than others. In the face of his son's health, he is still willing to accept this premium. of.

The man with glasses originally expected to use this fried meat pie to gag the baby, and then he would be able to go home safely, but he didn’t expect that not long after he walked out, his son would finish making the meat pie like a hungry tiger devouring it.

Then I don’t know if it was because I had just replenished my energy and started a new round of rolling around. I was so desperate that I had to eat another one.

 Those who have never raised children may never truly understand this feeling of despair. Every time a man with glasses takes his son to and from school, he feels that the person following him is not a human, but a bear.

Still patting the bear on the head, he activates his ultimate move Fury Blow at every turn, and outputs crazy output to the surroundings.

Although he fought hard and wanted to maintain his father's dignity, humans are destined to be unable to defeat bears.

Moreover, he was tired after the struggle. Seeing how delicious his son's food was, he unexpectedly had the idea of ​​trying it.
