Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 324 The Simplest Word of Mouth

Everyone in the kitchen was in high spirits, and they finished preparing the dishes very efficiently by 10 o'clock. Zhao Xiaojing had already stewed the spare ribs and beef brisket, leaving the chicken to Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan.

The work and rest schedule of Wen Jin's employees remained the same. Only a small number of people worked during the day, and the braised hotpot was also ordered for the evening, so they only had to cook eight or nine dishes for lunch. In twenty minutes, Zhao Xiaojing finished cooking all eight dishes, and occasionally glanced at Wan Yuyue's roast chicken. When she was putting the last dish into the lunch box, the front hall had already started serving customers. After a noisy voice, Wu Kaile stood at the gate and ordered four servings of pork trotter rice, then quickly ran into the kitchen.

"One portion of stir-fried beef and one portion of stir-fried pork liver!"

"Got it." Zhao Xiaojing quickly cleaned the pot and immediately started heating the oil.

At present, the pork trotter rice and braised dishes have been moved to the next door, which is the location of the dumpling restaurant that was taken over before. They only need to be braised in the kitchen and then moved over to keep warm. When someone orders, they can be cut directly there, supervised by two older sisters. Therefore, there are only three cooking chefs left in the kitchen, and a takeaway packer and logistics staff member Lu Hongwen who does all kinds of odd jobs. The space has become much larger.

Before Zhao Xiaojing's first dish came out of the pot, Wu Kaile rushed in again, "Two servings of stir-fried beef!"

"Why are there so many guests coming early today?" Yun Yongyuan looked at the hurried guests and was very confused. "Junior sister, let's practice Junior Sister Zhao's stir-fried dishes this afternoon. These dishes are the most frequently ordered. If we keep ordering like this, Junior Sister won't be able to handle it alone."

"That's right. Then I'll go and learn from her, and you just watch the pot!" The action-oriented Wan Yuyue immediately left Yun Yongyuan watching the chicken in the pot, and rushed to Zhao Xiaojing, starting to watch her cook carefully. Zhao Xiaojing naturally began to explain.

???

Yun Yongyuan was confused in front of the big pot. Why did he say it out? Why didn't he just run over and let Wan Yuyue watch the pot? He came up with the idea. Shouldn't he be the one to throw the pot away and watch his junior sister cook? People who are not lively enough really suffer in the workplace!

Before Yun Yongyuan's resentment lasted too long, people started to place orders for the twice-cooked pork and garlic chives and bacon, two dishes that belonged to Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue. The two of them no longer had time to learn from each other or chat, and they both buried their heads in washing the pot.

In the lobby, as more and more customers arrived at the store, different groups of people began to gather.

When Su Yuchen first came out to help in the hall, he thought they were all fans who came after watching the variety show. However, most of the faces were familiar customers. None of them looked curious. Instead, they were eager to order. Many of them even entered the store without even looking at the menu and started ordering dishes.

As a result, the few people checking in and taking photos have become a minority.

"What are you taking pictures of? Why are people lining up to sit down at one table and take pictures?" asked an uncle who had just placed his order.

“Take pictures of the seats where Wu Lesheng and the others sat. Aren’t you here to check in?” said the fashionable young man who had just finished taking pictures.

"Wu Le Sheng? Wow, Wu Le Sheng is here to eat too?" The uncle was very surprised.

"Yo! Really? When did you come?"

"You just mentioned them, so besides Wu Lesheng, who else is there?"

"So celebrities also come to eat at this kind of small restaurant?"

Several regular customers who were dining next door were very excited when they heard that a celebrity had been there. They started asking questions all at once, and the fashionable young man immediately became the focus of the questions.

"Didn't you guys watch it? It was that variety show on Baitao TV a few days ago. It was quite popular online. It starred Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu..."

"I'm telling you..."

"Yes, it was at this location..."

"Then you are right..."

Gossip is human nature, and when the fashionable young man saw so many people asking, he dragged a stool and sat aside to explain the situation. A few fans who had just finished taking pictures and didn't want to eat for the time being saw someone asking questions, and they also added comments and gossiped.

After a while, all the customers in the store who didn't know the celebrity had been there knew about it.

"Hey, you're not a fan group, then why are you here so early?" the fashionable young man asked the regular customers.

"Let's eat! This restaurant is very busy. Either come early or late. Otherwise, there will be no seats during the peak meal time. But if you come late, the dishes will be sold out and you may not be able to eat."

"Yeah, we're not like you young people who like to follow fashion. We just haven't eaten here for half a month and we're craving for food."

"I live upstairs. I wait for her family to open the door every day. I saw them cleaning yesterday and asked about it!"

"Is it really that delicious?" The fashionable young man was very surprised. "It's gone if we come too late?"

"Yes! We are all old customers. Beauty, there are no pickled vegetables today?" The regular customer looked at the hot meal in front of him and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the side dish table.

"We just opened today, and the boss just bought the cabbages this morning. They probably haven't been pickled yet. I'm sorry." Ouyang Yidan smiled sweetly.

"It's okay, that means you use fresh ingredients for pickling! The free pickles are made by the boss himself, no wonder they taste so good, haha. I'll come back tomorrow to eat."

After the rice topped with toppings was served, several old customers gradually stopped talking and ate in silence. The fashionable young man then looked up and saw that most of the seats in the hall had been occupied. Seeing that people were still coming in from outside, the fashionable young man felt a sense of crisis and quickly moved his stool to an empty seat. "Beauty, order this way!"

Just after eleven o'clock, the last table in the entire store, the table where Wu Lesheng and his friends had sat and where fans lined up to take photos, was finally occupied by customers after all the seats in the store were filled and returned to its official use - eating.

The check-in and photo-taking activities also came to an end. Fans, led by the old diners, began to eat like crazy. Influenced by the fans, the old diners began to search for variety shows on their mobile phones while eating and watch clips related to rice bowl shops on their mobile phones.

Afterwards, fans spread the news among fan groups, posting check-in photos while crazily recommending the food. Old diners spread the news among old diners, and when they met someone familiar, they would say that the store might become popular because a celebrity had been there.

So every time a new wave of confused customers came to the store, they would be educated by the old diners who had just learned about the situation, and the deliciousness and fame of the store began to spread through word of mouth.

"Sister, are we getting off work now?" Ouyang Yidan asked in disbelief as she looked at the sparsely populated hall.

It was only one o'clock at this time and all the dishes had been sold out. Only a small portion of the pork trotter rice was left to be sold in the evening. There were only a few customers who had just finished their meal in the restaurant.

"Yeah. I didn't expect that with more and more people coming, we can get off work earlier and earlier..." Su Yuchen was also surprised.
