93, Chapter 93(1/2)
Two days after Su Ning's solar birthday, it was the 25th, which was also the day when mooncake gift boxes were sold.
As expected, things were pretty much what Su Ning expected. The pre-sale of 10,000 copies did not meet the target.
After several days of fermentation, a total of more than 25,000 people have paid deposits. At 0:00 on the 25th, most people have paid, and the remaining few have also paid gradually in the morning.
The pre-sale has been changed to the normal sales method, and it is also selling at a good speed.
Speaking of being particularly hot, it's still a bit short of a heat.
The main reason is that the mooncake itself is a cheap food. The average gift box only costs two digits. The higher-end ones can be purchased for 200 yuan. At Dream Restaurant, it is 800 yuan.
Even diners who often come to restaurants may only spend 200 yuan or 400 yuan. Spending 800 yuan to buy mooncakes will be considered by many people.
The price exceeded the expectations of the guests. The restaurant is quite popular. Su Ning did not advertise, and the popularity is slowly declining. Netizens are also forgetful. At present, because the mooncakes have just been shipped, very few people have eaten them.
There is no introduction to the check-in video, so it is understandable that the ending is unsatisfactory.
Despite this, the sales officially started on the 25th, and diners can buy it at any time, and there are still a lot of people who support it.
For example, Yu Shanrong told Su Ning: [Our general manager asked everyone to use their own accounts to place orders and send them to the company. Each person placed two orders and bought dozens of boxes! 】
Luo Pei laughed loudly: [Your general manager's family has a big business and a lot of social activities, so giving away the things from Su Ning's family will definitely not lose face!]
[That’s what I bought too, for my parents!]
【What a coincidence, I bought it too!】
[I don’t know when it will arrive? Su Ning, how long will it take for the express to arrive? 】
Su Ning took a photo of the back of the courier who was packing at the back door of the restaurant, and sent the busy situation to the group. She said helplessly: [The quantity sent in one go is too huge. Even if we pay more for expedited delivery, it will probably take tomorrow.
Anything further away will have to be the day after tomorrow.】
The most important thing is... In order not to increase the price of mooncakes, Su Ning reluctantly used the restaurant's profits to pay the expedited fee!
When she faced the huge courier fee, she even wanted to cancel the order!
But fortunately, for the sake of the expanded quota of m, I gritted my teeth and endured it!
【Looking forward to it anyway!】
[I hope I can eat it on the Mid-Autumn Festival, hahaha, I just happened to go home to show off to my parents that I have such an awesome roommate!]
The group was lively and lively, and the back door of the restaurant was also very lively.
Because the 30,000 urgent items were all paid for, the courier company was very generous when they sent people over. A group of people helped pack the items. From six o'clock in the morning to the morning, there were still many things that had not been completed.
It’s almost too soon.
The remaining ones are not huge in quantity, so just come over again in the afternoon.
Until noon, all the couriers were packaged and sent away one after another. Su Ning took a bulk moon cake bag and handed it over, smiling and saying: "Thank you for your hard work, this is a small gift from the restaurant. I wish you all the Mid-Autumn Festival."
hapiness!"
"Thank you, thank you..." the couriers said immediately.
Then everyone got on the bus.
It was lunch time when we arrived at the express delivery point. Because the workload was a bit heavy this morning, everyone ate quietly until everyone was given a mooncake.
The mooncakes are packaged in paper boxes, which are small and slightly larger than the palm of your hand. On the front of the paper box is a circular painting of branches on the moon, the background is a dark blue slightly purple sky, and a
Animation pattern of Chang'e.
This painting alone is so beautiful that when you open the box, you move carefully and don't want to break it.
Xu Hong didn't even want to open it. He took a look at the mooncake and carefully put it in his bag: "I'll take it back to my daughter. I heard that the food at Dream Restaurant is very delicious, but it's expensive, so I didn't want to part with it."
Take her there, it just so happens that this time I went to work and got moon cakes! You have to let her try it!"
"Scoff!" As soon as Xu Hong finished his words, he heard a scoff. He looked up and saw Yin Zhenxiong, a young man who had just arrived recently, eating his meal.
At this time, he was saying with disdain: "Do you know how much money the Dream Restaurant makes every day? The boss who has made a lot of money is actually so stingy. I'm really convinced."
Yin Zhenxiong's popularity is not good, and what he says is always unpleasant. Everyone comes here to make money, so when they hear these words, they usually laugh them off.
This time, Xu Hong frowned and said: "You can't say that, how much money you make is someone else's business. And this mooncake gift box costs 800 yuan per box, and there are only eight of them. This one is only 100 yuan.
The boss gave it to me, which is very generous!”
"That's right! I haven't eaten the food here, but some of my friends have eaten there. After eating, they all praised it. They definitely use the best ingredients, and the cost is definitely not low!" Another said
The courier also followed suit.
Yin Zhenxiong finished the last bite of rice, threw away the lunch box, and came back carelessly, saying condescendingly: "What do you know? What good ingredients? Isn't it all a gimmick? These people are just following the trend! Do you believe this?
The mooncakes taste no better than the two-yuan ones on the street!"
As he spoke, he took out the mooncake he had just received from his pocket and tore it open casually, without any pity for the delicate patterns on it.
Xu Hong frowned and retorted deliberately, he had indeed never eaten the food at Dream Restaurant. What Yin Zhenxiong said made some sense, but he always felt that it was not the case, so he could only say dryly:
"That was also given by someone else. It's extra. I gave you money and food, so it's already very good!"
The courier who just mentioned him said: "Some restaurants are like this, Dream Restaurant is definitely not the case. My friend has eaten there many times! He really likes it!"
"That's because he didn't dare to admit that he was stupid and bought something from this store, or he was brainwashed!" Yin Zhenxiong's attitude remained the same, and he looked at him with a raised brow: "Have you ever eaten it? Are you so sure?"
The courier choked at the rebuke, pursed his lips, took out the mooncakes and prepared to eat them.
He will know later whether he has eaten it or not and whether it tastes good or not.
At this time, Yin Zhenxiong had already roughly opened the package, revealing the flower-like mooncake inside. From the outside, it could only be seen that this mooncake was not a snowskin mooncake.
The outer skin of the mooncakes, which have been baked until they turn brown, has a slight sheen. The mooncakes are pressed into a very popular flower shape. When they are taken out, they already exude a sweet smell.
fragrant.
Yin Zhenxiong didn't seem to be surprised at all. He took the box and said to the courier who seemed dissatisfied with his words just now: "Look, what's the difference between it and the ones sold outside?"
"I have seen this kind of thing before. People nowadays like to pursue Internet celebrities. The herd mentality is too serious!"
No one could refute this. The courier who originally had the precious moon cake frowned, but still said nothing.
He didn't care, chuckled and took a bite.
The soft and glutinous but not loose mooncake is bitten open, revealing the dark bean paste outer layer. You can taste the flavor of egg yolk in the mouth. When you taste it again, the outer layer of the mooncake reveals a faint sweetness.
The texture at this time is more pink, but not sticky to the teeth. The taste...
Yin Zhenxiong pursed his lips and glanced at the mooncake in his hand in surprise. It seemed to be slightly more delicate than ordinary mooncakes, but it actually tasted quite good?
Xu Hong noticed the change in his face. Before eating, his face was full of disdain, but now his brows were furrowed.
This is definitely not a sign of being unpalatable, otherwise he would have been extremely proud to tell them.
Everyone knew that this young man had a flamboyant temper, spoke freely, and was an angry young man. Therefore, at this time, several couriers who were still eating and keeping silent winked at each other.
Yin Zhenxiong really felt something was wrong. The taste was beyond his expectation, so he took another bite.
This bite was not small, I bit off a quarter of it, and I also got the bean paste and a small half of the egg yolk in one breath.
The fine, soft and sweet bean paste has a very rich taste. As soon as it was eaten, the words "sweet but not greasy" subconsciously appeared in Yin Zhenxiong's mind.
My tongue, which usually doesn't like sweets, can't help but lick the red bean paste in my mouth, tasting the sweetness.
With this lick, you can taste the taste of salted egg yolk on the tip of your tongue. The salty aroma has a slightly powdery texture mixed with the sweet bean paste. The sweetness is reduced by a small amount, and the salty taste is added, which is particularly satisfying.
People want to stop.
Yin Zhenxiong's mouth continued to eat, and the disdain in his expression completely disappeared. There was a little more pleasure in eating delicious food and...a little bit of embarrassment.
He himself didn't realize that he had been slapped in the face, and his body's performance had already betrayed him.
Seeing Yin Zhenxiong finish it in one bite, another bite, and another bite, most of the mooncake that was not big was gone in one go. The courier who had just heard his complaint looked at each other and laughed completely.
Xu Hong grinned. Fortunately, he didn't eat it. He took it back to his daughter. Her daughter would hug him and say: Good daddy!
On the other hand, Yin Zhenxiong, the courier, had already eaten the mooncakes. The ice-skinned mooncake he got had a cold outer skin that was a bit softer than the other mooncakes. When he took a bite, the mooncake skin was still sticky.
Don't hesitate to separate it, use a little force, and after separating it, you can see the empty blueberry jam in the bean paste.
"This is still sandwiched!" He exclaimed in surprise, his voice vague but loud.
Several people around looked over and saw the thick jam starting to flow slowly. The young man who just loved this bite said with envy: "Wow, yours is actually a snow-skin mooncake!"
The courier chuckled, and was about to feel proud of himself when he saw that the liquid was about to fall out. He quickly caught it with his mouth, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched as he was stimulated by the sweet and sour jam, as if he couldn't bear it.
live.
But the next second he tasted the sweet and sour jam again, it was so delicious.
"Hahaha, is it delicious?" Xu Hong laughed out loud and patted his brother on the shoulder: "This kid must like it, let you eat it!"
The courier wrinkled his face, glanced at Yin Zhenxiong, and regretted: "It's really delicious! Anyway, this bite is definitely different from the ones sold outside! But it really shouldn't be eaten, my little boy also likes it.
Well, before, they were asking me to buy mooncakes from the Dream Restaurant, but they were reluctant and refused to let me go. I thought they were really not delicious, damn..."
He was afraid that if he took it back, his son would be disgusted.
I had made an agreement with my son before that when he gets into the top ten of his class in the next monthly exam, he would take him to the Dream Restaurant to eat. If he disliked it, he would definitely have no motivation to fight, so I tried it myself.
The result tasted surprisingly good!
