The Translucent Beef Slices made by Yuan Zhou became popular. It was translucent and as thin as a piece of paper. Its taste was numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, crispy, and tender. Basically, it had become the signature dish of the restaurant. Delicious food was always welcomed by foodies.
Of course, it was also a great pleasure to watch Yuan Zhou's superb knife skills. He could watch and enjoy the food at the same time.
With the development of the new dish, the number of customers in Yuanzhou shop instantly increased a lot. Every day, during the opening hours, Yuan Zhou was busy preparing dishes in the kitchen, while Mu Xiaoyun worked hard to greet customers in the front.
Even so, there were still a lot of customers who couldn't make it on the same day. When there were too many customers and the restaurant itself couldn't satisfy them, the nearby snack bars would benefit from it. Since they couldn't make it, they might as well eat at the side. It was also a good choice.
In this way, the number of people on this street increased because of the Yuanzhou shop.
Since the Yuanzhou shop didn't provide drinks for breakfast, the number of vendors selling soy milk and other things on this street had increased.
Every time he came out of Yuanzhou shop after breakfast, he would drink a cup of soybean milk. Of course, he had to wait for a while before drinking it. Otherwise, the delicious taste in his mouth would be diluted.
However, this was also good for the customers. The soybean milk they had just eaten was absolutely delicious, which made them have a higher demand for soybean milk. Basically, only two or three soybean milk shops that didn't mix water were doing very well.
What the Chinese didn't lack the most was imitation. Therefore, the soybean milk on this street didn't use water. After all, the soybean milk couldn't be made with water anymore.
This was a virtuous cycle. Customers were picky and there would be comparisons. As long as they did a good job, there would be customers. Then, the vendor would definitely not add water, and the customers would be able to drink pure soybean milk.
The neighbors also benefited from it, such as Boss Tong.
"Recently, this soybean milk has become purer." Boss Tong was in a good mood. There was a smile on her skinny face and a small note in her hand.
"Boss Tong, are you going to buy vegetables so early in the morning?" Someone bumped into Boss Tong and asked smilingly.
"Buy vegetables, buy vegetables." Boss Tong nodded her head smilingly, but she didn't walk towards the direction of the vegetable market.
The place Boss Tong went to was the lottery betting station at the corner of the street. Naturally, she was holding the lottery ticket in her hand.
"Old Tong, are you here to buy lottery tickets again?" A middle-aged woman with fashionable curly hair greeted him with a smile.
"I'm here to redeem my prize today." When Boss Tong saw him, she immediately said with a smile.
"Yo, you got it again. How much is it this time?" The middle-aged woman stroked her curly hair and didn't sound surprised.
Boss Tong was a regular customer here. Every day, she would come here to buy a two-yuan bet. However, she was different from others. She knew that Boss Tong had nothing to do in the shop every day.
Basically, Boss Tong could win some money from time to time. It was indeed a small amount of money, such as 5 RMB or 10 RMB, or even 200 RMB at most. But it was also a big deal. Boss Tong could earn hundreds or even 1,000 RMB more every month.
"Look by yourself. It's not bad this time." Boss Tong became more delighted and directly handed the lottery ticket to her.
"Alright, let me take a look. Old Tong is keeping us in suspense. "The middle-aged woman didn't mind. She took the lottery ticket with a smile and began to operate the machine.
A minute later, the auntie looked surprised.
"Old Tong, you won quite a lot this time. It's three thousand yuan."
"Exactly. I'm so lucky." Seeing the confirmed information, Boss Tong was also incomparably happy. Of course, she still had to be modest.
"Do you want me to redeem your prize now or what?" The middle-aged woman took the lottery ticket and asked.
"Definitely now." Boss Tong didn't even buy any vegetables this early in the morning. She came here to redeem her prize.
"Ok. Wait a moment. I'm going to redeem your prize." The middle-aged woman took the lottery ticket and went into the inner room.
Boss Tong was waiting outside, and her face was full of joy.
"It seems that I should celebrate myself. I should spend some of my windfall to be safe." While muttering, Boss Tong thought about what to buy.
Just in a little while, the middle-aged woman came out with an envelope.
"Thank you." Boss Tong chatted with the middle-aged woman for a while more and then left.
She went back to the shop and packed up the clothes that she was going to take away today. It was 11: 00. In the neighboring Yuanzhou Shop, customers had started to line up sparsely.
"I promised to support him." Boss Tong suddenly thought of the matter of supporting Yuan Zhou. Now that she had won so much money, she prepared to go there and have a try.
After a sound of "Hua La", Boss Tong also went up and started to line up.
"Boss Tong, are you also here to eat?" Seeing Boss Tong come over, Wuhai asked politely.
"Yes. Your clothes have all been prepared. Come and get them when you are free." As soon as Boss Tong found it was Wuhai who often delivered the laundry, she answered smilingly.
"Sorry to bother you." Wuhai was quite courteous to the old man.
Boss Tong appeared to be more than 50 years old and there were already some white hairs on her head.
Just in a little while, the door of Yuan Zhou Shop was opened. The two people didn't talk anymore. Coincidentally, it was Boss Tong's turn at the last table.
"Here you are, Aunt Tong. What do you want to eat?" The others were all greeted by the well-behaved Mu Xiaoyun. Only Yuan Zhou went up to greet Boss Tong personally.
"Yuan, your dishes are really not cheap." Looking at the price list on the wall, Boss Tong was a little alarmed. The prices were often several hundred RMB higher than usual.
"The dishes are very delicious. Don't worry." Yuan Zhou was quite confident in his craftsmanship.
"The Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork is tofu, isn't it?" Looking at the price on the wall, Boss Tong said suspiciously.
"It's tofu. Do you want to have a try?" Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
"The price of the tofu …" Normally, Boss Tong wouldn't be so hot-headed as to order a plate of tofu worth 388 RMB. However, it was a little special today. Since she was spending money, she didn't have to worry about that.
"Serve me a plate and let me have a try. But tell me first whether it's delicious or not. Aunt Tong, I won't give you face." Boss Tong said seriously.
"Don't worry." Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
"Ok. Is there any rice in Yuan Shop?" If there were dishes, there must be rice.
"Yes, there is. You can order some plain white rice in the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine." Yuan Zhou pointed at the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine and said.
"A bowl of plain white rice for 98 RMB? Then I'll go back and fill a bowl for myself. "Boss Tong took a deep breath and said decisively.
It was acceptable for her to spend several hundred RMB to eat the dishes. Firstly, it was spending money. Secondly, it was tofu after all. That was fine. But for the plain white rice of 100 RMB, Boss Tong felt that she still had the leftover rice from last night in the pot.
"Ok. When you come over, you can eat the Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork." Yuan Zhou didn't mind that.
Normally, nobody would do that. Because the contrast was too obvious and it was easy to feel sad.
"Ok. Save a seat for me. Here's the money for the dishes." Boss Tong knew that the customers had to pay first in this restaurant. Since they were neighbors, she wasn't afraid of that. Having paid the money, Boss Tong straightforwardly stood up and went back to her own house to get the rice.
"I think Boss Tong will definitely scold you after she eats the dishes cooked by you and eats her own rice." Wuhai took pleasure in Yuan Zhou's misfortune at the side and said.
"No." Yuan Zhou nodded the head affirmatively.
