Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 178-The one who rests is the employee, the one who works is the boss
"Wow, there are so many people here. Boss Wang is still so awesome."

Officer Zhong and Xue Ning had originally planned to go to Dali for a trip, but the aroma of Wang Fan's braised chicken kept lingering on their tongues, so they decided to have another meal before leaving.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw that it was already full.

There were a few people waiting at the door.

Xue Ning looked at the sign. "Dezhou Braised Chicken, 68 each? And the purchase limit is 2 per person? I remember it was only 30 each on the train, right? It's a bit pricey, but why are there so many people lining up?"

Officer Zhong smiled and said, "Guess if a chicken weighing about 2 jin (approximately 10 yuan per jin) can be sold for 30 yuan after going through the complicated preparation steps?"

Xue Ning asked uncertainly, "Then it shouldn't make money, right?"

Officer Zhong shrugged, "It's definitely not profitable. Given the time and material costs, selling it for 30 yuan is a loss-making operation. It's okay for a day or two, as a promotion, but it's impossible to keep selling at that level. So there's only one truth, and that's..."

Xue Ning added, "The raw materials are cheap."

"Yes."

Officer Zhong nodded at the people in the shop with his chin. "A good ironmaker must have good tools. No matter how skilled the chef is, the food won't be very delicious. Just look at the reactions of these diners and you'll know that Boss Wang must be using only the best ingredients."

Xue Ning nodded, and felt that the people in the restaurant were somewhat exaggerated.

"But the way he eats is really too exaggerated. It's like he's running a race with others and eating as fast as he can. Let's not do that later. Even if the food is delicious, we can't eat like starving ghosts."

Officer Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I think it's a bit risky. You know how delicious Boss Wang's food is. When we ate braised chicken and rice, our table manners weren't much better."

Xue Ning pouted: "Eating without using your hands is my bottom line!"

……

"Well..."

"Let go of that chicken drumstick! It's mine!"

"You just ate my chicken butt, so you should return this chicken leg to me!"

"Impossible! Who would return a chicken butt with a chicken drumstick? You're cheating! Return the chicken drumstick to me!"

"You don't have any brotherhood in mind, do you? Give me back my meat!"

Chen Guilin, Jiang Shuyao and the other two were eating and fighting over the food at the same time. The scene was so brutal that it was comparable to the Second World War.

Chen Guilin was tall and strong, so he grabbed the most. After he finished eating all the food he had grabbed and his own, he still felt unsatisfied.

"Boss, one more!"

Chen Guilin spoke to Wang Fan again while burping.

After eating two Texas Braised Chickens, he felt a little bloated, but he definitely didn't want to stop eating because of the wonderful texture and taste.

Wang Fan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but we limit the number of chickens to two per person. It's not because we're worried you can't afford it, but because we're worried your stomach won't be able to hold it."

The chicken is basically more than 2 jin or even about 2 jin. Even if it is a little burnt, after removing the weight of the bones, the amount of meat that you eat is about jin. Two chickens will weigh more than jin. If you eat more, your stomach will definitely not be able to bear it.

Chen Guilin's face immediately fell. "No way, boss? I came all the way from Danggui. Can you please sell me an extra one?"

Wang Fan shook his head firmly: "No, eating too much will harm your body."

Chen Guilin was not giving up: "Then I can pack one, right?"

Wang Fan still shook his head: "If I pack it up, the temperature will drop, which will affect the taste of the whole chicken. I don't want you to come home and eat it and scold me for not cooking well."

"Well..."

Jiang Shuyao was now slumped in the chair.

She exercises regularly and has a good physical condition. At this moment, she has eaten so much that she feels like her stomach is about to burst at any time.

"No, no, I feel like my stomach is going to explode if I eat one more bite."

"I'm full too. I ate so much without realizing it."

"Go, go, go, go out for a walk."

Jiang Shuyao and her group of four stood up, holding their stomachs as they walked out of the restaurant. Wang Fan looked at Zhuo Qianqian who was sleeping soundly, shook his head helplessly, and had to get up and clean up the table himself.

The new guest couldn't wait to sit on the chair before Wang Fan finished cleaning up.

"Waiter, give each of us a roast chicken."

Wang Fan nodded, cleaned the table, returned to the counter, and turned around to prepare for the few people.

The restaurant was somewhat noisy at the moment.

"Oh my goodness, I can't tell if I'm eating chicken or my tongue. This is so delicious! I remember the Texas Braised Chicken I had before wasn't this good."

"I don't know about other things, but this one is really delicious. I originally thought 68 yuan was a bit pricey, but if you don't consider the cost of the ingredients, the taste and price alone make it a great deal."

"Great value! It's unbeatable, isn't it? The braised chicken and rice I had yesterday was also delicious, and the taste is completely different from this braised chicken."

"This is so fucking delicious! One isn't enough! Boss, give me another one!"

"I want one too! Boss, please hurry up!"

Wang Fan frowned slightly, looked at the young employee who was sleeping soundly, made a hushing gesture to the customers who were looking at him, and then pointed at the counter.

Those people waved their hands a little embarrassedly, and their voices suddenly dropped a lot: "Boss, we want 4 more for the table."

Wang Fan turned around and continued to plate the food, and then served the roast chicken to several customers.

The guest who had just spoken asked Wang Fan quietly, "What's going on? Is the boss sleeping?"

He pointed to the counter.

Wang Fan shook his head: "The boss is working here, and the employees are sleeping over there."

"what?"

Several guests were very surprised. They had always heard that the boss was slacking off and the employees were working themselves to death, but this was the first time they saw the boss was extremely busy while the employees were sleeping soundly.

“The boss is awesome!”

Several people couldn't help but give Wang Fan a thumbs up.

Wang Fan shrugged helplessly: "It's my fault for having such a stupid and lazy employee."

At this time, several tables of guests got up and left, and Officer Zhong and Xue Ning finally got a seat.

Wang Fan slowly cleaned the table and asked the two to sit down.

Officer Zhong exclaimed in admiration, "Boss Wang, I've never been so impressed by anyone in my life. You're definitely one of them. I've never seen anyone make such a big hit with a dish like you do."

Wang Fan smiled and said, "This may be because I pay more attention to details."

Officer Zhong smiled and said, "After eating your food, I finally understood why a guy brought your buns to our police station for testing. Your food is truly unique and unforgettable."

Wang Fan was stunned. "Someone took my buns to the police station for testing? Why?"

Xue Ning smiled and said, "Of course it's because your buns are so delicious. That person thought you added something to them."

Wang Fan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The additional ingredients the police mentioned must be different from those the chef mentioned. He was not stupid, so of course he understood.

"Don't worry, I don't have the guts nor the heart to do that. My cooking skills are enough to make diners become loyal repeat customers."

Wang Fan's voice was not loud, but a strong sense of confidence filled his whole body.

This is the pride that craftsmen have in their craft. As long as the skills are in place, all unconventional methods are futile and all desired effects can be achieved.

Officer Zhong and Xue Ning could feel Wang Fan's confidence, pride and arrogance.

"Give us two each."

Officer Zhong was very foresighted and ordered two right away. It seemed like yesterday that he had come back from patrol and his boss was gone.
