235: Unprecedented popularity
235: Unprecedented popularity
I still remember the boss's daughter saying that even a small piece was shockingly expensive. I wonder how much a box of cakes this big would cost nowadays.
But seeing his girlfriend's expectant eyes and the eager gazes of the people around him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, help me wrap it up!"
After the words fell, the expressions of the people around him were visibly disappointed.
The clerk packed it for him swiftly, and as he handed it over with both hands, he said with a smile, "The total is sixty-eight. You can scan the code to pay."
When they heard the price, the man who was originally thinking of bleeding profusely suddenly looked at her with a look of disbelief on his face.
He looked at the box in his hand again. It was so big, but only sixty-eight yuan?
I remember hearing the boss’ daughter say in the company that a small piece would cost two or three hundred yuan.
He took out his cell phone in disbelief, and it was not until he paid the bill and walked out of Jiuweizhai with the bag that his face was filled with realization, confirming that this was not a dream.
"This... doesn't seem very expensive."
What he didn't know was that most of Jiuweizhai's prices were based on the ingredients and the complexity of the preparation.
Dim sum that looks beautiful and delicate and tastes like high-end ingredients will naturally be more expensive.
But for today's piece of grape steamed cake, the ingredients used are not very expensive, so the price is naturally not that expensive either.
"Don't think about it, let's try it!" The girl couldn't wait.
The two found a place to stand at the door and opened the box of pastries.
The steamed cake was round and light purple in color. It had been evenly cut into eight pieces with a knife. The moment it was opened, it was still emitting hot steam, and the fragrance made them even more greedy.
Each of them picked up a piece and put it in their mouth. It was soft, chewy and very chewy, worthy of being freshly cooked.
The soft and delicate rice noodles have a sweet taste and an extremely rich aroma, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth with every bite.
The two even felt that eating steamed cakes was a real pleasure.
After stuffing one piece into their mouths in a few bites, they couldn't wait to get the second piece. After eating several pieces, their mouths were not dry at all.
The steamed cake is just the right amount of softness and moistness, making you want to eat a second piece after eating one, and you simply can't stop.
After they finished eating, they suddenly woke up.
Turning around to look at Jiuweizhai, which was already surrounded by people, the girl quickly pulled her boyfriend over.
"Buy it now! I want to take it home and let my grandma try it too!"
But now there were too many people, they couldn't even squeeze in. Everyone rushed in like a swarm of bees, and Jiuweizhai even sent several staff members to maintain order.
Seeing this scene, the young couple who first ate the steamed cake regretted it so much.
If they had known that this thing was so delicious and so cheap, they would have asked for ten!
The waiter stood at the door and said to the crowded crowd, "Sorry everyone, all the grape steamed cakes have been sold out. The kitchen is rushing to make them. The new batch hasn't come out of the oven yet. Everyone, please don't crowd and be safe!"
When they heard that the tickets were sold out, the people still queuing at the door were all disappointed, but then they cheered up again and continued waiting outside.
And the ten lucky ones who bought the cake, as soon as they tasted the steamed cake, turned around and came back with the steamed cake and continued to line up at the door of Jiuweizhai, just like the couple.
They all have the sixty-eight dollars, but the staff just said inside that each person can only buy one, otherwise they would have bought them all.
The store entrance was very lively, with passersby constantly being attracted and approaching.
The kitchen is also very busy.
In fact, they didn't intend to sell these pieces of grape steamed cakes, but they attracted so many people as soon as they came out of the pot. The customers in front were too enthusiastic, so they couldn't eat them.
There were ten in the first pot, and I gave them all to customers.
Although they were reluctant, they felt happier after hearing the waiter's feedback.
Although his dim sum has always been popular, it has never been so popular before.
After preparing all the remaining ingredients and putting them into the steamer, there were only twenty in total. Together with the ten sold in the first wave, there were a total of thirty grape steamed cakes.
After everything was ready and out of the cage, they went to the front to take a look.
They had been listening to the waiter's description of the situation in the store, but after they saw it themselves, they realized that the waiter was not exaggerating at all.
When I entered from the back door, the store was packed with people.
Even though there were people maintaining order, every time the steamed cakes were packaged and placed on the counter, their formation would become disorderly and they would rush to the front to grab them.
Looking at the long queue outside, the staff inside the store were also sweating profusely.
It was already noon, but they didn't even have time to change shifts.
And there is a steady stream of people pouring in here.
After they randomly stopped someone in the queue, they found out that someone had filmed the steaming cake and posted the video online.
Seeing such a hot scene, many people came to join in the fun out of curiosity.
But as soon as he got closer, he was attracted by the fragrance from Jiuweizhai, so he consciously lined up at the end of the line.
