Chapter 250 New Product Launch
Qu Wanning posted a notice in the store a few days ago saying that the takeaway window would open today.
So just as noon arrived, customers who came to dine started asking when the take-out window would open.
Hua Rui and Su Jixiang tasted the freshly baked bread and found it to be delicious in color, aroma and taste, so they baked four large plates and filled the oven to the brim.
After all the tables in the store were filled with customers, Hua Rui and Su Jixiang asked someone to take out the first batch of bread.
Each plate can hold fifty buns, and this batch has a total of two hundred buns. As soon as they are taken out, the aroma of baked bread fills the whole room.
"What is this?" The customers looked curiously at the shop assistant who brought out the baked bread from the back and stacked it neatly in the takeaway window.
Before the takeaway service was launched, this place was used as a temporary resting place for customers waiting for their meals. Now Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning have built a shed outside the store, which is equipped with charcoal basins, tea, and stools for people to wait and rest. The takeaway window has been completely cleaned up.
Su Jixiang decorated this place very beautifully. The inside was painted snow-white, making it look very clean. The table was covered with a simple tablecloth and neatly placed rattan baskets.
There are many craftsmen in Mangcheng. The baskets they weave are beautiful and sturdy, and covered with fresh and elegant plain cotton cloth. The visual effect is no worse than that of modern cake and bread bakeries.
"How can it smell so good? And look so good!"
Some guests gathered around to watch out of curiosity.
The take-out room has two windows, one facing outside. Although it is spring now, the weather is still very cold, so the window facing outside is temporarily closed, but the stained glass window facing the store is open.
Looking through the stained glass window, one can see the small round breads with golden brown crust neatly stacked in a wicker basket. They look very appetizing, and the rich aroma of freshly baked bread makes one unable to stop.
"How is it sold? What is this thing called? I've never seen it or eaten it before. I don't know if it tastes good or not!" someone said.
"It must be delicious. This is called red bean paste bread. It is a new product of the store. The owner said that we can let everyone try it first. If it doesn't taste good, just don't buy it." The young lady in charge of the takeaway window was sweet-looking and had two deep dimples when she smiled, so Qu Wanning chose her to put it here. She took out two pieces of bread, cut them with a knife, inserted a small bamboo stick into each piece, and then placed them on a small plate and pushed the small plate out.
Immediately, people who were dining in the restaurant came over, picked up the small pieces of bread with bamboo sticks and tasted them, and their eyes seemed to light up.
"Delicious, delicious!" The freshly baked bread is soft, and the red bean paste filling is not too sweet. It feels very good in the mouth. Some people feel unsatisfied after eating a small piece and want to take more.
"I'm sorry, there aren't many products for tasting." The young lady smiled, "We have to leave some opportunities for others, because this is more difficult to make. It takes a long time. But if the guests think it tastes good, you can buy some. New products are on the market, and they are half price in the first ten days. You can buy three for five cents."
Su Jixiang calculated that even if she bought three for five cents, she would still make a profit, as baking was very profitable. After ten days, when the price returned to its original price, she would make even more money by buying three for ten cents.
As long as the bean paste is ready, the cost of other things is extremely low.
"You can buy three of these delicious foods for only five cents!" someone exclaimed, "I'll have it, I'll have six!"
"I want nine!"
"Don't be in a hurry, line up, first come first served, we won't sell to those who don't line up!" The young lady smiled sweetly. Then the two male employees in the store came over, stood at the takeaway window with their hands on their waists, and stared at these people with eager eyes.
The customers of this store all know the rules of Caidiexuan, which is that no matter how rich you are, you have to queue up when you arrive at the store, otherwise the waiters in this store will really kick you out.
The ones who chased people away before were two young ladies, who looked quiet but very strong. Now, the ones responsible for maintaining order are these two old men, who look good but have murderous eyes.
Don’t dare to provoke, no one dares to provoke.
So the order on the takeaway side is very good, and everyone abides by the rules consciously.
Soon the 200 loaves of bread were sold out.
Customers who bought from Caidiexuan found that the products were very exquisitely made. Even the outer covering of the bread was made of special kraft paper with the seal of Caidiexuan.
The bread sold out on the first day it was on the market, which greatly boosted Hua Rui and Su Jixiang’s confidence.
They were busy until night and baked eight ovens in total.
The two were so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms.
"No, no." Su Jixiang held his old waist and waved his hands, saying, "It's easy to make money, but it's going to kill me if I keep going like this!"
"Yes, Boss, we have both used up all our strength." Hua Rui couldn't stand up anymore. She didn't care about her image anymore and just lay on the table, not wanting to move a finger. "Boss, we have to find a way... If we keep doing this, it will kill us!"
"Yeah." Su Jixiang nodded in agreement. She couldn't take it anymore.
At the end of the day, she didn't know how many bread balls she had made.
"It seems that this bakery needs to be built separately." Su Jixiang said while looking at the kiln. "This one oven is not enough, at least three are needed."
"Let's just hold on for two days. I'll ask someone to come and help tomorrow." Su Jixiang said. She thought the business would be good, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.
After all, three loaves of bread for five cents is cheaper than eating steamed buns. Now a meat bun in Mangcheng costs three cents each.
Su Jixiang didn't know how she got home. She only knew that she fell asleep in the bathtub while taking a shower that night.
The next day, Su Jixiang woke up in bed.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she sat up immediately. "Don't worry, it's still early." Wei Ling's voice came from beside her, and then an arm came over and pressed her back onto the bed. "Rest for a while."
"It's morning already?" Su Jixiang was half asleep.
"Well, it's morning. Madam, our family is not short of money, so you don't have to work so hard." Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang who was still sleepy, and said with a little heartache.
He came back quite early yesterday. He originally wanted to have a good chat with Su Jixiang, but he just pulled her out of the bathtub. Even after he helped Su Jixiang dry and changed her clothes, she was still sleeping soundly... It was obvious that she was really exhausted.
