Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 232 Big Order

Hearing what Lao Wang said, Malu felt that it would be too wasteful to sell this thing directly on the shelves.

He then remembered something and asked Gigina, who was about to go out for business, "By the way, you said you had a big order last time. What are the customer's requirements?"

"To hold a BBQ party, it requires at least ten kinds of barbecue and special drinks. The other party is willing to pay 8,000 star coins." Gigina answered.

Ma Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Speaking of BBQ, the most suitable drink is beer, and I can get ten kinds of barbecue. I just don't know how many people will come to the party."

"I asked last time, and the customer said he needed to wait until we were sure whether he could take the order before he could invite his friends." Gigina, "But he also gave me a rough number and said no. There will be more than 30 people.”

"30 people." Ma Lu touched his chin. The last time Chen Zhengyi came to eat, he spent a total of 700 star coins, but 200 of them were to meet Lao Wang and ask about things in his hometown. In other words, he spent a total of 500 star coins for dinner. Pentacles.

If there are 30 people, it will be 15,000 star coins. However, when hosting a BBQ, the dishes should not be as exquisite as when hosting Chen Zhengyi. For 30 people, the price of 8,000 star coins is not unacceptable.

It just so happened that Malu planned to go back to the giant screen this week to see how Boqi and the others were doing, and to buy some goods for the desktop farm.

So he said to Gigina, "Go and talk to him again and see if you can convince him to pay more and tell him that we have exclusive drinks here that are not available elsewhere."

Gigina nodded and then went out from the sewer.

"About that," Ma Lu said vaguely, "The new drinks are very expensive and not very cost-effective. It's better not to wait any longer."

At 11 o'clock, He Xiaoqian opened the door of the restaurant on time. As a result, the first customer who rushed in today was Wang Feng, the owner of the grocery store across the street.

Someone snorted coldly, "Boss, do you look down on us? We've all come to your store to eat. How can we still have no money? If you have any good things, don't hide them away. Bring them over quickly."

He originally wanted to use these words to dispel everyone's curiosity about cat urine beer, but unexpectedly, it aroused their rebellious psychology.

Wang Feng glanced at the small blackboard as soon as he entered the door. If he didn't see it, he didn't give up and asked again.

“Mr. Ma, where’s the cat urine beer?”

"I like the drink, when can I get it?" Immediately, many people were interested, "And it's also beer. Boss, did you brew it yourself?"

"It's a drink we've been developing recently. It's still in the trial stage and has not been officially sold on the shelves." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Ma Lu could only tell the truth.

 The customers who can still come to eat are indeed from some background.

“Oh, the launch of cat urine beer has been postponed.” Ma Lu said.

And his appearance was also noticed by other diners who came in. These people also asked curiously, "Cat urine beer, what is cat urine beer? What new dishes are there in the store?"

Malu’s signature dish this week, devil’s stewed rice, uses 5-star ingredients, devil’s millet pumpkin as the main ingredient, so the price has been slightly raised. Although it’s not much, it’s only a symbolic 20 yuan, but once A serving of braised rice has also been sold for 418.

 “Ah, why?!” Wang Feng felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard this.

In fact, it has only been a little more than two weeks, and there are already many fewer familiar faces among the guests here, especially the number of fans in the more than 20 WeChat groups that Ma Lu accumulated from setting up a food stall outside Hangda University, and already one-third of them are They all left the group.

 And many of the remaining people who still stay in the group are just here to chat or watch the fun, and there are also many fewer customers who are really willing to come and patronize.

However, due to the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth and the strong recommendations from old diners who have eaten there, there are many new faces. Most of these people are gourmets. They have eaten a lot of delicious food before, and they are becoming more and more picky about restaurants and chefs. But deep down, they are getting hungrier and thirstier, eager to taste something that will make their eyes shine. Dishes.

 And are willing to pay a high price for it.

 Zhang Yang is one of them. He comes from a family of chefs. His grandfather is a master of state banquets and his father is also a local top chef.

However, when it comes to his generation, he himself has little interest in cooking. In order not to take his father's class, he deliberately chose interior design in college.

 Later, he went to study abroad, completely staying away from the family business, and embarked on a completely different path from that of his ancestors.

However, because he grew up eating the food cooked by his grandfather and father, he was extremely picky about food. After studying abroad for two years, Zhang Yang spent most of his money on food. He ate in almost all famous restaurants in Europe and tasted countless masters. work.

 While satisfying his appetite, it also gave him a new understanding of cooking. He discovered that cooking, which he originally hated, actually had many similarities with interior design, which he now likes.

 They all contain the creator’s unique insights and pursuit of beauty, which gradually allowed him to understand his grandfather and father.

 However, the pursuit of beauty is always a lonely road, and the more we advance, the more so.

 Whether it’s interior design or food, there are fewer and fewer things that can excite him.

More and more new restaurants are only chasing new trends and constantly innovating in form, but they ignore the most important deliciousness of the food itself. Even those Michelin restaurants that have successfully won stars, many of them taste more gimmick than taste.

On the other side, most of the time-honored brands are stuck in their ways, immersed in the glory of the past, afraid of change, unwilling or afraid to follow the footsteps of the times, and are gradually abandoned by the world.

 Zhang Yang just felt that the more he ate, the more boring he became, so he made an account in his spare time to review the restaurants he had eaten at.

Originally, I just wrote it casually for my own reading. Unexpectedly, because of the spicy, ruthless and meaningful writing style, I unexpectedly gained a lot of readers. Now each article has been read more than 100,000 times.

The reason why Zhang Yang came to the Universe Infinite Canteen today was because someone recommended it. The person assured him that the food here would not disappoint him.

However, Zhang Yang had heard a lot of similar words over the years, so he didn't take it too seriously. He just turned around and had a try because he was bored and happened to be passing by nearby.

 After entering the door, I looked around at the surrounding decorations and couldn't help but frown.

The decoration design here can only be described as appalling. There is no sense of beauty at all. Every floor tile and every wall is barely marked with the words “saving money”.

Zhang Yang shook his head when he saw it. It was hard to imagine that a restaurant owned by such an owner who had no pursuit of beauty could produce any dishes worth tasting.

 Looks like my trip was wasted again today.

 But it’s already here, Zhang Yang still sits down and prepares...huh?

He looked around again and found that just as he was looking at the decoration of the restaurant for a moment, there were no seats left.
