Chapter 55 Instant Noodles Sell Greatly
"This is braised beef noodles, which is also our classic signature flavor. You have good taste, sir."
"Haha, then I'll have the braised beef noodles. You guys can order whatever flavor you want."
The other six people were also undecided, so they all followed suit and ordered braised beef noodles.
"Gentlemen, each bowl of braised beef noodles costs sixteen coins. Please settle your bill here first, and then queue up to collect your noodles using your number."
Bai Mengran asked Xiao Yi to go to the cashier to guide customers in taking orders, collecting payments, and issuing number tags, while she herself was responsible for making instant noodles.
When Li Laoliu and his companions heard the price, they were surprised to find it quite reasonable. It was much cheaper than eating at a restaurant; the cost of seven buckets of noodles would only be enough to order one or two dishes.
This trip was definitely worth it!
Xiao Yi took their orders one by one at the cashier, and after they paid, he distributed the corresponding number cards to them and they went to the food counter to collect their noodles.
Bai Mengran had already taken six buckets of braised beef noodles from the back counter while they were paying, which was just enough to make the first batch, including the one she had just made.
Arrange the six buckets of noodles in a row, and open the lids, take out the ingredients, add water, and close the lids.
She felt like she was playing "Cooking Master Boy," racing against time to prepare instant noodles on an assembly line.
The more you practice, the more skilled you become, and the faster your hand speed gets.
Place the prepared instant noodles on the serving counter, and exchange a wooden number for a new instant noodle.
As for when to lift the lid, to save herself some trouble, Bai Mengran only told Li Laoliu in detail, and then asked Laoliu to relay it to the others.
The seven men, each carrying their own buckets of noodles, pushed together two tables. After Li Laoliu told them that they could only open the lids after they changed color, they all stared at their lids anxiously, waiting impatiently.
The novel food truck, the open-air seating, and the fragrant instant noodles were an eye-catching sight, and soon, more and more curious onlookers gathered at the market.
As Li Laoliu and his fellow food vloggers enthusiastically began their meal, Bai Mengran's instant noodle stall officially opened for business.
She turned on the megaphone, pressed the record button, and began to shout.
"Dear customers, don't miss out! Come and try the unique and delicious instant noodles in Anshun!"
Freshly prepared and sold on the spot, you can enjoy a fragrant and hot bowl of instant noodles right there!
Such delicious instant noodles, no need for 88, no need for 66, today it's only 16 coins, what are you waiting for?
Limited quantities available, first come, first served! Come and buy a bucket to try!
Bai Mengran frantically searched her mind for exaggerated advertising slogans and improvised a short one on the spot.
After recording is complete, start playing it on a loop.
"Hey, did you guys hear that? That stall up ahead is selling instant noodles. Let's go check it out!"
"Instant noodles? Never heard of them. Can they even taste good?"
"Look at them sitting there, all of them wolfing down their food so enthusiastically! It's making my mouth water! I have to hurry and join the queue, or they might sell out!"
"Hey, wait for me, I'm coming too!"
People who initially came out of curiosity were immediately won over by the enticing aroma of instant noodles as they approached the stall, and rushed to join the ever-growing queue to order.
The line in front of the cashier on the left was growing like a snake, with people whispering and discussing the strange food as they waited in line, making the story more and more fantastical.
With a friendly smile, Xiao Yi kept introducing the flavors while quickly collecting money and giving change, asking the customers who had received their numbers to line up at the food pick-up area to get their noodles.
Bai Mengran, on the other hand, was quite busy.
At first, it was fine; she could make three or five bowls of noodles at a time. But later, even if she kept making noodles non-stop, she couldn't keep up with the speed at which customers came to collect their noodles.
"Sister Bai, let me help you!"
Kong Nishang poked half her head out from the side of the food cart, peering inside cautiously.
She was so engrossed in the delicious braised beef noodles that she didn't notice the busy scene around her.
After happily finishing the last sip of soup, she turned around and saw that the stall was already crowded with people, so much so that Bai Mengran and Xiao Yi could no longer be seen.
She quickly took the empty noodle bucket to the trash can, threw it into the hole marked for disposal, and it landed silently.
Kong Nishang, who was being fed again, was eager to help. She couldn't just eat for free; she had to help Sister Bai earn back the sixteen coins she had eaten!
With a steady stream of orders, Bai Mengran is using both hands as four hands.
It's impossible to finish brewing it all!
With help suddenly appearing, she didn't hesitate to decline, saying, "Yiyi, you've come at just the right time. I'm really overwhelmed with work."
"Then I'll help my sister put in the ingredients!"
Kong Nishang's memory suddenly improves whenever she encounters something new and interesting. In addition, Bai Mengran had already explained it to her in detail before, so she was able to remember it just by watching Bai Mengran do it.
"Okay, thank you Yiyi, you've made things much easier for me!"
Bai Mengran shook her slightly sore and numb arms and continued to roll up her sleeves and work harder.
In her eyes, making a bowl of noodles was equivalent to earning eight coins, so she was highly motivated to make it, her mind constantly racing with "+8, +8, +8..."
With Kong Nishang's help, efficiency obviously improved a lot, and the speed of serving finally caught up with the speed of taking orders.
"Boss, all the seats outside are full. Do you think we should control the amount of foam we make on-site?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's reminder, Bai Mengran looked up and saw a feast of instant noodles.
The number of tables and chairs prepared was limited, and they were already full of diners engrossed in slurping noodles.
Some diners who had taken their noodles but had no seats stood in front of those who were almost finished eating, placing their noodle buckets on the table while waiting for a table.
Most of the impatient ones simply sat on the stone benches by the roadside, holding their food in their hands, and still enjoyed it just as much.
Looking around, a long row of people were sitting under the trees by the roadside, eating instant noodles in various postures.
However, most of those eating outside were men. Ladies and young ladies, who were more concerned about their image, would send servants or maids to queue up and buy food to take back to their own carriages to eat.
There weren't enough seats, so it seemed they couldn't continue soaking in the show. Bai Mengran had no choice but to pick up the loudspeaker and start broadcasting.
"Thank you for visiting our stall. We only have ten servings of our limited-edition instant noodles left today. We hope you understand."
"Huh? So you've been smelling it all this time, but you can't taste it today?"
The customer at the end of the line couldn't help but complain when he heard that it wouldn't be his turn.
"Luckily, I was seventh in line, so I'll still get to eat!"
"Haha, I was on the last round, what luck!"
The tenth guest in line stretched out his index finger and counted to ten. He was exactly tenth, which made him as happy as if he had won the lottery.
Seeing that the customers behind her were getting restless because they couldn't get any food, Bai Mengran quickly picked up the loudspeaker again to calm them down.
"For those who missed the chance to taste it on-site, please be patient. Although the quantity of instant noodles on-site is limited, there is no limit to the amount that can be sold today."
You can buy the instant noodles and make them yourself; I guarantee they'll taste exactly the same as the ones we're eating here.
Simply place all the ingredient packets into the bowl, then pour boiling water over them until the water level reaches the mark. Cover and wait until the lid changes color before opening and serving.
