Chapter 607 - Fried Dumplings (2/2)
The reason why Yuan Zhou agreed with him was nevertheless very simple. One was that this person was very polite. Yuan Zhou was just reluctant to socialize with others. It didn’t mean he knew nothing about it. Under such circumstances, he found it inappropriate to refuse him.
Secondly, this person was always been well-behaved even though he looked young. After Yuan Zhou erected the wooden sign asking everyone to take away the trash left by themselves, he always cleaned up the surrounding areas of his stall before he left every time. Sometimes, he also helped the granny that sold steamed Mantou to clean the ground.
Yuan Zhou had already noticed that out of the corner of his eyes.
“Thank you, thank you so much. Sorry to bother you, Boss Yuan.” The young man was surprised and have his thanks immediately.
“Um.” Yuan Zhou took the chopsticks and straightforwardly picked up a fried dumpling.
A fried dumpling was no more than a finger’s length, thus he ate it up very quickly.
“How do you like it? The young man looked at Yuan Zhou with a quite nervous expression and waited for his comments.
“Please use this side and eat your fried dumplings.” Suddenly, Yuan Zhou handed the other end of the chopsticks to the young man.
“Ah?” The young man didn’t react right away and revealed a puzzled look.
“Eat them.” Yuan Zhou reminded.
“Okay.” Only then did the young man receive the chopsticks and then pick up the dumplings to eat.
The young man had carried a total of four fried dumplings over here. After Yuan Zhou ate one up, there were only three left. The young man ate two in one go, then he couldn’t help but ask.
“Boss Yuan, do you mean I should eat these dumplings and then think about the previous ones to make a comparison?” The young man raised his head and asked.
“Eat it up.” Yuan Zhou looked at the only fried dumpling left in the plate and said.
“Okay, all right.” The young man took up the chopsticks again and ate up that remaining dumpling in one go.
“I get it. Boss Yuan, you want me to try the taste by myself.” The young man seemed to become enlightened suddenly and understand Yuan Zhou’s purpose by doing so.
Therefore, he just kept saying, “I tasted it and I think there’s no difference. If there is any difference, I use more meat now than before and besides, the meat is also superior. Theoretically, the business should be better.” The young man swallowed the dumpling and couldn’t wait to speak his thoughts.
“No. The reason I let you eat is that I have eaten breakfast and can’t eat up four of them.” Yuan Zhou shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mean that.
“Er…” The young man choked and then he said, “I don’t think so. Previously, they also ate some of my dumplings once they smelled the fragrance even if they had eaten breakfast.” The young man almost contradicted him subconsciously at once.
“So, why aren’t they coming again now?” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and asked back bluntly.
“Why? Yeah, why aren’t they coming again?” The young man looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Yuan Zhou was looking at the young man’s stall. And the young man also followed his sight and looked at his own stall.
The stall wasn’t very big and only included a stove, a large frying pan and a dough-kneading machine at the side as well as a meat grinder and the stuffing that hadn’t been used up beside it.
At the very beginning, his stall only included a large frying pan and a stove. The dough-kneading machine and the meat grinder were purchased later when his business became better.
The two people fell silent for a while. It seemed that the young man suddenly realized the problem and thus bowed to Yuan Zhou to thank him.
“Thank you, Boss Yuan. I got it.” The young man turned around and left after saying that.
He had understood that it wasn’t the problem of his craftsmanship, but his wholeheartedness.
He didn’t have much money when he set up the stall at the beginning, so he only used the ordinary meat. However, he always went to the meat stall and selected the pork butt carefully before the daybreak. If there wasn’t the pork butt, he would go to other markets and not give up until he got it.
The pork butt was most suitable to make the stuffing of the fried dumplings. That also applied to the wheat flour. The flour was also very ordinary previously, but he kneaded the dough and prepared the stuffings with full spirit every day.
But now?
Speaking of which, the young man could really be considered a kind person. As Yuan Zhou’s restaurant became more popular and received more customers, his business also became better. So after that, he also upgraded the ingredients used by him.
For example, the pork. Previously, he only bought the ordinary pork butt at around 16 RMB while now, he bought organic pork at around 20 RMB. Apart from that, the flour used by him was also more superior than before. Though the profit fell, he was considering to make small profits but quick turnover.
Just because he made money, he gave the work of kneading dough and preparing the stuffing to the machine and thus made the work into an assembly line. When he went to buy the pork, he didn’t only insist on the pork butt anymore. If there wasn’t any, he just bought other parts of the pork randomly. After all, he was using expensive meat right now.
Although those ingredients were better, those kind of common breakfasts were not short supply. His fried dumplings had lost its advantage and competitiveness.
“You are welcome.” Yuan Zhou turned around and went back into his restaurant.
Cooking was quite fair. Depending on the attitude, that would be the taste of the food.
Delicious food wouldn’t tolerate negligence.
