Chapter 294: Make cakes for free!
With this in mind, many people ordered roast duck, and everyone wanted to taste what roast duck was like at half the usual price.
Because of this, Wang Xueyan and Ye Qiuyun were extremely busy.
Fortunately, the Ji family helped kill a lot of ducks last night and took care of it.
If I hadn't taken care of it, I would have been really busy today.
However, there are really not too many people eating roast duck, and there are also some people who just want to join in the fun.
Most of the people who joined in the fun ordered small dishes.
Mrs. Ji knew that as the business just opened today, Ye Qiuyun and Wang Xueyan might be a little busy.
So I came all the way from home to help. She is a good cook, and she is basically the one who attracts the customers who order food, and she cooks the dishes.
Ye Qiuyun and Wang Xueyan mostly focused on roast duck.
Ji Liangqing, Wang Goudan and others shouted loudly outside the door. Today was a rare and lively market day in Jiangnan, and the streets were very lively with people coming and going.
The two of them are very eloquent, and they are willing to show shame and work hard to attract customers outside.
Most people like to join in the fun. Seeing the bustle in this house, many customers from distant villages are willing to come in and join in the fun.
Or order a side dish, or a roast duck, or just a bowl of porridge... In short, there is an endless stream of customers, and the people inside are so busy that they don't even have time to drink water.
"Captain, our business is really good. There are so many people on the first day we opened today! It's really great!"
Finally, the flow of people was reduced, and Wang Goudan had time to talk to Ji Liangqing.
Ji Liangqing glanced at him without comment.
The business is indeed good. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. They have thought of it before with so many people.
It's just that the gimmick of half-price opening is too attractive, and I don't know if there will still be so many people after the original price is restored.
And... if business continues to be so good, Wang Xueyan and Ye Qiuyun will definitely be too busy.
Even if you can barely cope with it, at the end of the day, you won't know how tired you are.
Ji Liangqing was thinking about his idea in his mind, but his expression remained as usual.
Seeing that the number of people coming and going was slightly smaller, but Wang Xueyan and others inside were too busy to touch the ground, Ji Liangqing said:
"You are here to attract customers, I will go in and help."
Needless to say, Wang Goudan's eloquence is not even inferior to that of Ji Liangqing. There are few people outside now, so he can't use two people.
If Ji Liangqing can help, it can also relieve some pressure on the people inside.
Ji Liangqing calmed down the restless customers after entering.
The family did not expect to have such a good business, and there was no plan at all.
Some of the customers inside were impatient and couldn't help but complain when they saw that the dishes they wanted were not brought to them after waiting for a long time.
Emotions between people are very contagious. When one customer complains, other people who have been waiting for a long time will start to agree.
Seeing that more and more people couldn't help but complain, Ji Liangqing stepped forward and explained the reason with a smile.
He also said that he would give each person at the table a free cake as an apology. I hope everyone will forgive me.
Everyone was just complaining casually, and there was nothing urgent.
If there was really an emergency, they wouldn't come to this restaurant to eat.
Hearing Ji Liangqing say that he was going to send cakes, everyone felt much better, and the face of the elder brother who spoke first also softened.
He was obviously not from the countryside, he was dressed decently, and there was even a dead rabbit under his feet.
Ji Liangqing had dealt with this kind of people many times before, so he judged in his mind that he should be a mountaineer living in the south of the Yangtze River.
The so-called mountain runners mean that they run in the mountains all year round, looking for wild animals or prey. If there is a peak season, they can even earn enough money to feed a family for a year.
After all, the products from the mountains are not cheap, and you can always make meaty ones to add flavor to your home.
It’s just that this requires experienced people, and young mountain runners may not always gain results.
Ji Liangqing guessed that the mountain runner sitting in front of him must have good experience. Not only could he hunt down prey, but he was also a decent person looking at his clothes.
After hearing Ji Liangqing say that he would give each table a cake, the elder brother looked gentle and asked:
"What is cake making? I have never heard of it."
The name "Da Gao" is indeed a dialect, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it in this area of Jiangnan.
Seeing that others were also looking confused and looking at him, obviously waiting for his explanation, the smile on Ji Liangqing's face became even deeper:
"Dear guests, please rest assured. This cake is made from steamed glutinous rice and then beaten. It is very chewy. It is wrapped with a layer of fried soybean noodles, which is very fragrant. We also sprinkled a layer of brown sugar, which is sweet.
It’s delicious and suitable for both the elderly and children.”
Glutinous rice, brown sugar, soybean noodles!
Everyone looked satisfied when they heard the glutinous rice, and even nodded when they heard the brown sugar and soybean noodles.
Especially brown sugar. These days, brown sugar is a rarity no matter where it is.
Women must eat brown sugar during confinement. In some families, the men are so unsatisfactory that women cannot even eat brown sugar after giving birth.
Such precious brown sugar is actually included in this cake-making thing.
Some people even couldn't help but swallow their saliva and asked again with great uncertainty:
"Is this cake really given to us for free?"
Will they have to pay for it in the end?
Ji Liangqing had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and a smile flashed in his eyes:
"Dear guests, please rest assured that all the cakes will be given away for free. However, due to the busy opening of the shop last night, we did not make many. They will be given out while supplies last."
With that said, he began to distribute cakes.
Everyone felt more comfortable after hearing this.
They were the first batch to come in. Judging from the distribution, it seemed that there were still people left after the distribution, so they didn't need to worry about not getting their turn.
Who doesn’t want this free good stuff?
Some of them were just adults sitting inside, already mentally planning to take this thing back for their children to eat.
One of the guests brought children. Children all like sweet snacks. Seeing the sweet and white cakes, some children were looking forward to it on their seats.
Ji Liangqing handed out the cakes one by one. Everyone had doubts in their hearts before, but when they saw the cakes placed in front of them, the real ingredients made everyone speechless.
This brown sugar is actually not mixed with water, but brown sugar syrup.
Of course, such a good thing must be packed away. Everyone stuffed it in and shouted: "It's delicious!"
This made others feel even more itchy.
After the child ate it, he said to his parents with a face full of intoxication: "Mom and Dad! It's delicious, you should try it too."
Of course, it was impossible for his parents to eat their son's food, but they were moved by the child's filial piety. They touched the child's head and said happily: "You eat, parents don't like sweet things."
