156, Spring of the Second-Rate

“Hey!”

A short-haired young girl was holding a steamed bun in her hand, and was about to question Yan Chu, asking why he could sell so expensive buns when others sold them for 1.5 cents.

At this time, Yan Chu had just finished wrapping buns for another middle-aged man. He looked up at the girl who had just shouted at him, and asked her with a smile what was wrong.

The girl, who was originally aggressive and looked like she was going to settle accounts with him, blushed quietly, and suddenly wondered if the young man had miscalculated the money, instead of deliberately ripping them off.

After all, he was so good-looking, how could he be a bad guy?

Thinking of this, the short-haired girl who looked quite decisive slowed down her tone and asked Yan Chu softly and gently.

"Young man, did you miscalculate the price of this meat bun?"

She pointed at the bun in her hand, "The meat bun in the state-owned restaurant is only 1.5 cents each, and your bun is 2.5 cents, which is 1 cent more expensive than the state-owned restaurant."

The workers who had come to buy it after smelling the fragrance could not help but hesitate after hearing what the girl said. Although they are high-income people, there are still many people who are thrifty these days, and they prefer to save money instead of spending it.

The current price of pork is 80 cents per catty, and the black market may be more expensive, which means that the price of buying three meat buns is almost enough to buy a catty of pork, and the stuffing in such a big meat bun is probably less than half a catty of meat. After all, there are always other stuffings in the meat stuffing, such as cabbage, and many restaurants do this.

This handsome young man is not honest!

This became the first reaction of everyone present.

"Because my buns are different from those in the state-owned restaurant." Yan Chu responded, as if it was natural that his buns were expensive.

This is a product of the chef god. To be honest, if it weren't for the current per capita income level and consumption habits, he would have wanted to sell the buns at a higher price.

"What's the difference?"

The young girl who just spoke woke up from Yan Chu's beauty. She felt that her mother was right. Sure enough, good-looking men are unreliable. The one in front of her was a living example.

She took out a bun wrapped in a yellow paper bag with some anger. She paused when she saw the meat bun whose folds were more delicate than those sold in other places. She comforted herself that the buns were not about the appearance, but the taste.

She planned to taste the buns directly, so that even if she wanted to argue with the boss whether the buns were worth 2.5 cents, she would be more confident.

The short-haired girl opened her mouth and took a big bite of the meat bun. Her first feeling was hot.

The meat buns just taken out of the steamer were wrapped in extremely hot gravy. If the other party bit them directly, she would be burned on the tongue.

"Little girl, eat slowly. You must be burned. Spit it out quickly to avoid hurting your throat."

The middle-aged woman beside her patted her back and told her to spit out the meat bun in her mouth.

The young girl who took the lead was burned and her eyes were filled with tears, but her mouth was stubborn and tightly closed. She just refused to spit out the meat bun in her mouth.

It was so fragrant. Even though it hadn't been swallowed into her throat, the rich gravy made her feel so delicious in her mouth. Even if it was burned, she couldn't bear to spit it out.

After the heat had passed a little, the little girl began to chew tentatively. After taking a bite of the expensive bun, she realized that the buns she had eaten before were all shit.

The bun skin is very particular about craftsmanship. If there is a problem in any link of kneading and waking the dough, it may lead to the bad taste of the dough, either too hard or too loose.

But the texture of this bun skin is just right, with a cotton-like filling and chewy texture, which fully brings out the aroma of wheat flour. When chewing, your mouth is full of saliva.

The meat filling is even more amazing. The taste here is more complicated. She can't tell how much seasoning the filling has given it just by her taste buds. She only knows two words, fresh and fragrant, especially the soup in the meat filling, which soaks into the part of the dough that wraps it. Every bite is a wonderful enjoyment.

It's so delicious that it makes people want to cry. The bun that is half the size of an adult's palm can be eaten in a few bites.

Looking at the bun left in her hand, the young girl couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, thinking that she was too impulsive just now and misunderstood this good-looking boss.

Compared with the taste of the buns, the price of 25 cents is really too cheap. It turns out that the buns sold by good-looking bosses are all conscientious.

"Brother, give me five more, no, ten buns."

She thought that she couldn't just enjoy the delicious food by herself, so she bought more and took them home after get off work, and then steamed them, and the whole family would eat this for lunch.

Her family conditions were good, her parents and brothers didn't need her to subsidize them, and she was not married, so she saved her monthly salary of several dozen yuan. It was not unacceptable for her to spend two more yuan to buy ten buns so that the whole family could enjoy the delicious food.

The little girl who originally accused the boss of selling buns too expensive immediately changed her tone after eating a bun, and bought ten more buns at once. Now the onlookers also guessed that the buns tasted very good.

Some people who had bought buns before but hadn't eaten them subconsciously took a bite of the buns in their hands, and the result was out of control. You bought five, I bought ten, and those with a large family bought twenty at once.

The buns, which were clearly considered to be "sky-high", were suddenly snatched up. Those who didn't know would think that the buns were sold at a very low price.

"Young people just don't know how to calculate. Are you stupid to spend 25 cents on buns?"

There are people everywhere who think they know everything and point fingers at other people's behavior. In their opinion, no matter how delicious the buns are, how delicious can they be? Those who are willing to spend 25 cents on a bun probably haven't eaten anything good on weekdays.

Originally, white flour and meat are rare. As long as you are willing to use good ingredients, you can definitely make delicious meat buns. It is better to prepare the raw materials and go home to make them than to spend such a high price on the buns from the small vendor.

Those who have eaten the buns see through it but don't say it. They also hope that fewer people know that the buns are delicious, so that they don't have to worry about not being able to buy buns in the future.

Because everyone bought a lot of buns, more than half an hour later, the 150 buns prepared by Yan Chu were sold out. Those who hesitated for a while and didn't spend money to buy them immediately regretted it and annoyed themselves why they hesitated.

In fact, if it is too expensive, it is okay to buy one to try.

After Yan Chu promised to come to the stall again tomorrow and make more buns, he was released by the crowded crowd and left with his cart.

Now the country encourages the development of self-employed people, although many people look down on the business of self-employed people and think it is shameful. If a family has a self-employed person, the whole family will not be able to raise their heads. They always think that only those who do nothing and have no legitimate job will do this.

But at the same time, there are also many visionary people who choose this business when everyone is not optimistic.

For example, now there are three small vendors selling breakfast outside the state-owned factory, and the main target groups are the state-owned factory, the nearby municipal government, and the second and third middle schools.

These units all have canteens, but they have always been buns and steamed buns for so many years. Many people also want to try new flavors. In this way, these young wives who come here to set up stalls to sell snacks from their hometown have an advantage.

These stalls sell southern snacks such as sugar glutinous rice cakes and steamed buns with spicy soup. Because of their fresh taste and moderate prices, their business is pretty good.

Don’t think that this business is looked down upon by others. Because they have to compete with the canteen, they dare not sell too high prices, and it seems that the profit is very small. Only when you really set up a stall yourself, you will know how high the net profit of an individual business is.

A small food stall with a small scale only needs one person to guard it. Sell breakfast in the morning, and start preparing for the next morning at noon and in the evening. There are not many people who accept these new things now, but there are always 40 to 50 customers every day. With the spread of word of mouth, the business sometimes ushered in a small peak. Basically, there can be a net profit of two or three yuan every day, so in a month, you can also make □□10.

Now the monthly salary of a regular worker in a factory with ordinary benefits is only about 60 yuan, that is to say, independently supporting a small food stall can make more money than a regular worker.

Of course, the premise is that your craftsmanship is really good, and people feel that buying your things is more worthwhile than buying things in the canteen, otherwise it will be difficult to do this business.

The three bosses who sold sugar glutinous rice cakes, steamed buns, and spicy soup felt that their worldviews were impacted today. Didn't they agree that only unique snacks would be competitive? In the past few years, many mobile vendors outside the state-owned factory have come and gone, and only the three of them are still standing.

Today, an ordinary bun seller came, and he was so unscrupulous that he sold the buns at a price similar to that of mutton steamed buns, but he sold out, and sold out so quickly.

The three bosses were not convinced. The bun seller just had a good face, so why did he sell things faster than these snack stalls with regular repeat customers? Can there still be love and trust between people?

Yan Chu pushed the cart, completely unaware of the impact he had brought to his three colleagues. He hummed a song, thinking about whether he could try to launch other new products after a while.

But think about it, he is a second-rate person, and second-rate people are lazy. It is already amazing that he can make a single meat bun. Anyway, he came to this world to relax on vacation, so he should not cause trouble for himself.

He wanted to make the single meat bun better and stronger, leaving the legend of him as the king of meat buns in this world.

Having found an excuse for his laziness happily, Yan Chu was thinking whether he should go to the city in the afternoon after buying the ingredients for tomorrow. His original body had never left the county town in his life, and he didn't know how the China in this world was different from the several Chinas he had experienced before.
