The first food stall in the wasteland

The next day, after Shen Lu had breakfast, he went out.

It was urgent to find a local vegetable merchant to purchase goods. The sooner she implemented it, the sooner she would be at ease.

This is not difficult. Shen Lu asked Ma Laosan to find out the address.

She took a rickshaw to find it and met with Boss He, the largest vegetable merchant in Xiacheng District.

"Want it today?" Boss He smoked a cigarette and laughed out loud, "Is this your first time here, little girl? I don't have any in stock here, so you have to book in advance."

He doesn't work in retail, so he always has food available. He always places an order and a deposit one day, and comes over the next day to pay the final payment and pick up the goods.

Shen Lu felt uncomfortable due to the smell of smoke, and frowned, "Can you be accommodating? I'm really in a hurry, so I can pay more."

"There's no need to pay more. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the goods are out of stock." Boss He exhaled a big puff of cigarette, "Little girl, you have to know that food is very precious in the emperor. There is a fixed number of vegetables to be picked every day. It is not allowed. Waste, do you know how to cut it?"

Shen Lu had no choice but to place an order with Boss He and pay a deposit according to the rules, and agreed to come and pick up the food at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

Moreover, Boss He only deals in vegetables. If he wants to buy meat, he has to find another boss.

Shen Lu went straight to the meat seller, Boss Huang.

Boss Huang’s rules are the same as Boss He’s. If there is no ready stock, you must place an order in advance.

Having learned from the past, Shen Lu didn't bother to waste words and directly placed an order and paid.

Finally, there is Boss Feng who sells aquatic products. Shen Lu directly saves unnecessary inquiries and places the order as quickly as possible.

By the time she returned to the store, it was already nine o'clock.

Time flies when you are doing things. She only traveled to three places, and an hour or two was gone.

It was 11:30 when it opened for business, leaving Shen Lu little time to cook.

Fortunately, when they were in bed together, she gave Xiao Mantis the coupon to upgrade the kitchen utensils.

The battery life of the second-level Xiaomant is increased to 6 hours, and it can cook slightly more complicated dishes.

For example, for Kung Pao Chicken, you only need to follow the steps, pour the ingredients into the pot one by one, stir-fry, and pour the sauce prepared by Shen Lu before serving.

The taste is [-]% as good as that of Shen Lu, which is already very good.

Shen Lu still has to make the braised pork by herself. Making the sugar color depends on your skill. If you are not skilled enough, you will either overcook it and make it bitter, or it will not be done properly. Not only is it sweet, but the color is not enough.

Shu Meng and Song Zhigao had done all the preliminary steps for the pork belly, cutting them into pieces and frying until golden brown. As soon as Shen Lu came back, he cooked the pork until it turned into sugar. Half an hour later, the braised pork was stewed in the pot, and it took two hours to cook. Can be cooked.

But Shen Lu was still busy with his feet on the floor, and there were still many vegetarian dishes in the set meal waiting to be cooked.

For a time, the kitchen was in full swing, and everyone was focused on what they were doing.

Hurrying slowly, I finally managed to finish all the dishes before eleven o'clock.

Shen Lu shook his sore arms, took off his chef uniform and went to the front desk. Today he had to issue cards and stamps.

[Ding dong~ Release the task: Please sell 450 braised pork set meals and 350 Kung Pao chicken set meals. The total turnover reaches 8 yuan, and the customer satisfaction level is three stars or above. The completion time is eight hours. 】

Very good, the task has been released. Shen Lu glanced at the star ornaments on the table, more than half of them lit up.

I hope the satisfaction level won't drop again today, otherwise she'll really want to go crazy.

And starting tomorrow, she will mix the ingredients into dishes, and she doesn’t know if the taste will be affected.

I don’t know if guests will notice it after eating dishes that are mixed with local ingredients, and will feel dissatisfied and leave negative reviews?Questions popped up one after another, disturbing Shen Lu's mouth.

She rubbed her face and patted it twice to remind herself to cheer up.

Don't worry about unknown things. Anyway, when the troops come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. If there is a problem, don't be afraid, just find a way to solve it.

There are still many customers today, and there has been an endless stream since the door opened.

Shen Lu saw many familiar old faces, as well as unfamiliar new faces.

When meeting chatty new customers, she would casually ask them where they were from.

"I live in Block [-], which is quite far away from your place." The guest handed the card in his hand to Shen Lu, "If I hadn't read in the group that you can draw Xing Ge's peripherals when you check in when you eat here, I wouldn't have known about it. Such a store.”

It was his first time to eat here. He originally came here for the lottery. He didn't have high expectations for the food in the store, but he was amazed after eating it.

This price, this portion, this taste, it's almost like giving it away for free.

The only drawback is that it's too far away from his home. It takes an hour and a half to get here, and another hour and a half to go back. Three hours of going back and forth are gone.

Moreover, Xiaolu Food only sells lunch. If it also sells dinner and late-night snacks, even if there is no check-in and lottery draw, he is willing to come over for a meal after get off work.

If he hadn't been busy at work, the three-hour round trip would have been enough to persuade him to quit.

Shen Lu stamped his seal and handed the card back with both hands, "Are you satisfied with the food? Is there anything you think needs improvement?"

The customer put away the card and sighed: "I'm very satisfied with the taste of the food, but can we start a takeaway service or increase the business hours?"

"Thank you for your valuable advice, we will consider it carefully."

Shen Lu respectfully sent the person out of the store, thinking about what the other person had just said.

The location and nature of Pinjin Street are destined to be a more lively place at night than during the day.

Except for people who have nothing to do all day long, or people who live and work near Pinjin Street, people from a few blocks further away rarely come to eat in her store.

Judging from the current workload, it can be completed every day for the time being, but the workload will increase. If she does not extend the business hours, it seems that the only way is to open takeout.

If you want to deliver food, you need a delivery person. As far as she knows, there are no food delivery platforms like XX Group and XX in the Imperial City, so there are no delivery people. Generally, in stores with food delivery services, the person responsible for delivering food is the store's busboy. young man.

She has a handyman boy. Big Wang has such a good physique that he will definitely be able to deliver food. He just needs a car.

Once the thoughts spread out, there will be no end.

Shen Lu shook his head to collect his thoughts.

Don't think about it so much, just solve the most important things first.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the lunch session was almost over, and only some soup was left in the food sales.

After putting up the sign that the store was closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, Song Zhigao hurriedly asked Shu Meng to cook a staff meal, and Shen Lu agreed.

Song Zhigao is obviously a very observant person. He probably saw yesterday that Shen Lu was not satisfied with the staff meal Shu Meng made yesterday.

So after getting Shen Lu's consent, I made shredded pork with green pepper and stir-fried cabbage.
