Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 233 Cold Lotus Root

 Is business so good?

 Zhang Yang was a little surprised, but he didn’t think too much. When many Internet celebrity stores first opened, their business was not bad, and the customer flow was exaggerated one by one. But when the freshness wears off, it will soon become deserted.

But now there is a problem, that is, Zhang Yang doesn't know where he should sit.

 Fortunately, a waitress came to him quickly and pointed out a clear way for him.

“What, you told me to go to the grocery store across the street to buy tables and chairs?” Zhang Yang wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"This is not mandatory, sir, it is just a suggestion. Of course, you can also choose to continue waiting here for your number to be called. When there is space, I will leave it to you first." He Xiaoqian said.

Before Zhang Yang could speak, someone next to him said, "My friend, if you don't mind, you can sit at my table. I still have a seat here."

Zhang Yang glanced at the speaker and found that it was a family of three. He didn't want to disturb the other person, so he said, "Thank you. I'm more used to eating alone, so I'd better buy a table and chairs."

Zhang Yang was about to go out when he was stopped by the waiter again, "Wait a minute, sir, the grocery store owner is here."

 After speaking, He Xiaoqian reminded Wang Feng, "Boss Wang, we have business."

Wang Feng just turned around and left the Universe Infinite Canteen. Zhang Yang followed him. Seeing his reluctant look, he couldn't help but be aroused and asked.

"Why?"

 “That cat urine beer, is it really so delicious?”

  However, the research and development of new dishes requires time and cost, especially the more famous the restaurant, the more stringent the requirements for new dishes.

"I don't know why Mr. Ma did this and removed the well-selling dishes from the shelves, but the Universe Infinite Canteen does change its menu every week. The dishes you ate last week will probably not be available again. "

Because no matter how delicious you make, if the menu remains the same, it will inevitably make people feel boring after eating too many times. At this time, new stimulation is needed to retain diners.

“You don’t understand,” Wang Feng said, “The master is more willful, and don’t foreigners all have cat **** coffee? Why can’t we have cat urine beer?”

“Then you can’t drink.” Wang Feng shook his head.

 “It’s okay, I can wait a little longer and come back.”

 “But with a name like this...does it really matter?”

 Zhang Yang originally wanted to explain the production principle of cat urine coffee, but then he gave up because he thought it was a bit troublesome. He nodded and said, "You are right. When the cat urine beer goes on sale, I will come and try it."

“Then remember to ask your boss to add a fan group.”

"Huh?" Zhang Yang was really surprised this time. Most restaurants will launch new dishes from time to time, which is normal behavior.

"Of course, I have sold a lot of drinks and have been to several Oktoberfests. Let's put it this way, there is no beer that I can never forget so much." Wang Feng recalled the aroma and silkiness of the beer as it slid down his throat last night. slip.

And even if new dishes are introduced, the old menu will not be abolished in one fell swoop, especially those popular dishes. This is a self-destruction and will turn away a large number of diners who like the original dish.

This is why Zhang Yang has never heard of any restaurant that is so crazy and changes its menu every week.

 Too risky and cost-inappropriate.

 Unless...the chef of that restaurant has no creative bottleneck at all and is extremely confident in the dishes he creates. But is this really possible?

 For the first time, Zhang Yang became really interested in the small restaurant behind him called Universe Infinite Canteen. Zhang Yang paid 14 yuan to buy a table and a plastic chair. Wang Feng also helped him move to the opposite side of the street for free. While Zhang Yang was paying, several more people came, and they were all looking for Wang Feng buys tables and chairs for diners.

Wang Feng also told them, "You don't need to take the tables and chairs back after eating. Just leave them there. New people will use them. When you come back, I will refund you the money at a 10% discount. If the city management takes them away, there will be no refunds."

“However, when you meet the urban management officials, you can also use the payment record to prove that it is the table you bought. Generally, they will not accept it. Also, remember not to block the store next door.”

 Zhang Yang returned to the restaurant and was finally able to order.

 He ​​looked at the dishes on the small blackboard. There were 4 dishes in total, including appetizers, grilled onions with gravy, and the signature dishes of deviled pumpkin braised rice and almond pumpkin.

As for the price at the end, Zhang Yang just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. He had eaten food that was ten times more expensive than this. Of course, in that kind of restaurant, the service basically starts before you even enter the door, and the store decoration is also They are all very attentive, and there is also a chef on hand.

A small restaurant like this that has just opened has dared to mark the price like this. Zhang Yang can only say that young people are very brave, but this also shows from the side that the chef here does have something, otherwise he would not dare to do this.

 “I want them all.” Zhang Yang finished ordering and sat back on his outdoor seat.

He Xiaoqian brought him tableware and poured him a glass of water.

There's not even tea. Not only is it free, but the waiter didn't even ask if he wanted any drinks.

In other words, this store has no intention of making money from drinks.

If he had just entered the store, Zhang Yang would probably have shook his head secretly in his heart, but now he is basically numb.

This place felt completely different from the restaurants he had been to before.

 Fortunately, the dishes were washed very clean, with not only no stains, but also no floating dust, which is quite rare for a small street shop.

However, in the early days of opening, Zhang Yang was not too surprised to have such enthusiasm, but he didn’t know whether it could be maintained in the future.

Soon, the waiter brought out the appetizers, which was a plate of cold lotus root.

Zhang Yang didn’t have high hopes for this dish because it was so common.

 Common dishes often mean that the cooking method has basically become a fixed style, and there is not much room for improvement by newcomers.

However, after the cold lotus root diced from the Universe Infinite Canteen was served, Zhang Yang still discovered some differences. The first was the lotus root itself. Compared with ordinary lotus root, it was more crystal clear and was smudged with a layer of gold in the sunlight.

Ordinary people would probably just find this scene very beautiful and not bear to take off their chopsticks, but Zhang Yang also noticed more details. The size and shape of each lotus root dice are almost exactly the same, without any difference.

This means that the master who cuts vegetables has amazing knife skills and can control the force at will.

In addition, except for the lotus root cubes, there is no other debris on the plate, including seasoned shredded ginger, shredded pepper, and garlic.

This also further reflects the crystal clearness of the lotus roots. Zhang Yang, who is engaged in interior design, likes this sense of simplicity.

Of course, the appearance of a dish is only one aspect. What really determines success or failure is its taste. Without those rich seasonings, Zhang Yang was curious whether the taste of this cold lotus root dish would become bland.
