Chapter 160 Super strong ability to bring goods
Seeing Tong Huaqiong enjoying the food so much, the others couldn't help swallowing.
Originally, Tong Huaqiong planned to cook this meat rice dumpling to let the people in the shop satisfy their appetite and broaden their horizons, so that they would understand that meat rice dumplings are no worse than sweet rice dumplings.
"Come, everyone, eat one."
After Chen Sufen and Hu took out the rice dumplings, Tong Huaqiong greeted everyone.
Anyway, it’s time for lunch, so rice dumplings are just the right staple food.
Gu Taohua couldn't help but peel one and eat it. After taking a bite, she didn't bother to talk to others and just started eating.
Then Chen Sufen, Hu and Qin Qingyou peeled off the rice dumplings and started eating.
"You know what, this rice dumpling is really delicious." said Chen Sufen.
"That's right. Don't you see the ingredients here? Just a big piece of meat and a whole egg yolk. Who would be willing to put in that much stuff? Many people buy the sweet rice dumplings from Sushiyuan every year. The most they can put in a rice dumpling is one candied date." Mrs. Hu said.
Qin Qingyou replied, "I think it tastes better than sweet rice dumplings."
Seeing Liu Qiaoyun walking from the shop to the backyard, he called out, "Wife, come and try this rice dumpling. It's Aunt Tong's cooking after all. It's delicious."
Liu Qiaoyun, Gu Xiaocao and Liu Yue'e took turns to eat. Today, Liu Qiaoyun came to the backyard to eat lunch first.
She had smelled it ahead of her.
Liu Qiaoyun took a bite and exclaimed that it was delicious. She said, "Just now a customer outside asked what we are cooking in the yard and why it smells so good. We can start selling these rice dumplings in the afternoon. I think these two baskets are not enough."
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "We are just testing the waters. The Dragon Boat Festival is still a few days away. If many people buy, we will pack more."
After finishing her meal, Liu Qiaoyun went to the shop. Gu Xiaocao and Liu Yue'e took turns to come and eat, and both praised the rice dumplings.
Only Ma Huateng insisted that zongzi was sweet and would rather die than eat meat-based zongzi.
"Heresy, this is heresy! I won't eat it." Gu Dashu peeled the rice dumpling and placed it in front of Ma Huateng, but Ma Huateng refused to eat a single bite.
Tong Huaqiong held his forehead and sighed, you don't have to use your literary character to pursue delicious food.
If it were Tong Huaqiong's previous life, Ma Huateng would definitely be the main force of the Sweet Zong Party who was arguing against the Salty Zong Party online. With his rigorous attitude, he would have wanted to write a few academic papers to fight back.
Ma Huateng doesn't want to eat salty rice dumplings, and Tong Huaqiong can't force him to do so.
"Dashu, go to the private school and give some rice dumplings to Master Su." Tong Huaqiong instructed Gu Dashu, "and give some to Meng Yanping, thanking him for his support of Taohua Desserts some time ago."
Ever since Taohua Dessert opened, students from private schools no longer come to Taohua Dessert to consume.
The reason lies with Gu Jingzhe.
When Taohua Dessert was still a stall, they didn't know the relationship between Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe. After Taohua Dessert became a shop, Gu Jingzhe put up a smiling stand in front of the shop, and the students of the private school knew the relationship between Gu Jingzhe and Tong Huaqiong.
Given Gu Jingzhe's previous reputation of looking down on everything in the private school, they also had a bad impression of Taohua desserts and all of them stopped coming.
The reason why Tong Huaqiong sent rice dumplings to Mr. Su and Meng Yanping was that, on the one hand, she still wanted to do the private school business, and on the other hand, Tong Huaqiong wanted to take the opportunity to show her goodwill to the students of the private school. Since Gu Jingzhe had returned to school, she did not want Gu Jingzhe to be too isolated and helpless in the private school.
After all, it’s not that easy to build a new reputation.
Gu Dashu agreed to go.
Mr. Su was from the south of the Yangtze River. In his hometown, he ate rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, but he had not eaten them since he came to the north.
When he ate the rice dumplings sent by Tong Huaqiong, his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Qin Qingyou placed the rice dumplings in the shop, and Gu Taohua wrote a sign. In addition to the name of the rice dumplings with fresh meat and egg yolk, Gu Taohua also marked the raw materials in small letters.
This is what Tong Huaqiong requested.
Tong Huaqiong labels all the products in the store with the raw materials.
It has to be said that this move has brought more customers to Taohua Desserts.
In this era, food shops not only do not label the raw materials, but even the ingredients used in the kitchen are kept secret and hidden for fear that others might learn how to cook them.
Taohua Dessert dares to do this just to tell everyone that we are not afraid of learning since we won’t be able to learn it anyway.
Sushiyuan did learn how to make the taro paste and pork floss Xiaobei, but its imitation was weird.
"Boss, we only have meat dumplings. No sweet dumplings? If we don't have sweet dumplings in our shop, won't that drive away customers?" asked Ma Huateng, a member of the Sweet Party.
Others had the same idea.
Mrs. Hu even wanted to roll up her sleeves and take the initiative to make sweet rice dumplings since the ingredients were ready.
Tong Huaqiong said: "We only sell meat dumplings, not sweet dumplings."
Everyone asked the reason.
This is not like Tong Huaqiong's style. Why not take advantage of such a good opportunity to make some money?
Tong Huaqiong said: "Our shop can't take up all the business. You see, many small vendors have started selling sweet rice dumplings. There are even women from the countryside who make rice dumplings and sell them in town to earn money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. We can't cut off other people's business opportunities. I started out as a small vendor, and I know everyone's difficulties."
Tong Huaqiong's words were instantly sublimated, making all the shop assistants look at her with admiration.
Tong Huaqiong went on to say: "From now on, we will only make meat dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, so that when people think of meat dumplings, they will think of our peach blossom desserts."
The first one to be launched will definitely have a brand effect.
"Aunt Tong, you have such a lofty vision that I am ashamed to say I am inferior to you." Ma Huateng said sincerely.
"Aunt Tong, I finally understand why you were able to open a shop in such a short time, because you have a sincere heart." Liu Qiaoyun sighed.
"That's right. When everyone in the village said that Aunt Tong was difficult to deal with, I realized that Aunt Tong was extraordinary." Qin Qingyou said.
......
Tong Huaqiong did not lose herself in the flattery of the crowd.
The reason why she didn't sell sweet rice dumplings was, as she just said, to give other street vendors a chance to make a living.
Secondly, she also has her own selfish motives. What's the point if everyone sells sweet rice dumplings? Taohua Desserts will definitely not go the mass route. As a new internet celebrity shop in the town, it must launch its own special rice dumplings.
She knew that not everyone in Yanguan Town could accept rice dumplings. For example, there must be many people like Ma Huateng who love sweet foods.
But her rice dumplings are originally targeted at those who are rich and have free time, or those who are willing to try new things.
Many people who came to the shop to buy pastries in the afternoon were curious about the rice dumplings.
At the beginning, few people bought it. Firstly, the price was not cheap, and secondly, the taste of the rice dumplings was beyond everyone’s taste perception.
No matter how hard Liu Yue'e and Liu Qiaoyun tried to introduce the products, most people were watching and few were buying.
"Taohua, what kind of fresh rice dumpling is this?"
Gu Taohua was busy in the shop recording the birthday cake that someone had ordered for the top girl in Yihonglou. When she looked up, she saw Yuqin, the chief maid in Huang Yuanwai's family, walking in.
Yuqin came to buy cakes for Old Mrs. Huang.
"Sister Yuqin, you're here. I'm busy right now, so let my second sister-in-law introduce her to you." Gu Taohua said with a smile.
Liu Yue'e received Yuqin and said with a smile: "This rice dumpling is so fragrant and delicious, I can't describe it. How about I peel one for you to taste."
Liu Yue'e let Yuqin into the shop, then peeled a rice dumpling and handed it to Yuqin.
The aroma of the rice dumpling became more tempting after it was peeled open. The rice dumpling was handed to Yuqin. Yuqin couldn't refuse and had to taste it right away.
Wow, this is equivalent to a live eating show.
And this was not even rehearsed in advance. Yuqin exclaimed that it was delicious before she even finished eating a single bite. How could there be such delicious rice dumplings?
Yuqin's words made the customers stop in their tracks.
Yuqin is a maid in Mr. Huang's family. As the richest man in Yanguan Town, Mr. Huang's family has eaten all kinds of delicious food. Even the maid's daily food, clothing and other expenses are more exquisite than those of ordinary girls.
Yuqin said it was delicious, so it must be good.
"Give me two."
"Let me have one. Let me try it first."
"I'll take five."
Everyone opened their wallets to buy it.
I have to say that Yuqin’s ability to sell goods is strong. One and a half of the two baskets of rice dumplings were sold out in an instant.
