Chapter 170 There is always a new attempt
This was not the first time Xia Anan had done an interview. She was not particularly nervous this time. The main thing was to see if the person was willing to stay.
Before, I wanted to find someone with better skills, but now I think it doesn’t matter if the skills are not so good as long as they can stay and be trained slowly.
When the four of them just arrived at the snack street, those students had already arrived, looking energetic.
There were three boys and two girls in total, and they didn't look like they had ever experienced the harsh treatment of society.
They all look happy when facing the snack stalls that will be set up in the future.
Since they came first, let's conduct the first interview with them.
Pei Yuanbai and Xiaoling prepared ten test questions in total, mainly asking them why they wanted to stay in the snack street to work and their future career plans.
They answered the ten questions very quickly. Xia Anan got it quickly, and the four of them took turns to look at it.
Sure enough, for today's young people, part of the love is for the snack street, and part of the love is to make a lot of money.
Snack streets are extremely popular nowadays, with new products launched every once in a while, firmly capturing the hearts of young foodies.
Moreover, the daily turnover of the snack stalls is also very high, and countless people come to the mall to visit the snack street every day.
"Sister Xia, after so many years of studying, I know I am not suitable to be an office worker who punches in on time every day. I think this job at the snack stand is especially suitable for me!"
One of the slightly chubby boys patted his chest and said, "Besides, I have loved eating delicious food since I was a child. If I can stay in the snack stand, I can also help develop new flavors and launch new products!"
Judging from his appearance, he is quite talkative and seems to have an inexplicable gentleness.
Xia Anan marked his resume and thought this person was quite outstanding.
After the morning passed, only one boy and one girl remained among the five students.
They don’t have many classes on weekdays now, so if they have a free evening to come to the snack stand, of course they do so in the name of apprentices.
Of course, Xia Anan didn't ask them to help for free, and would pay them according to the market price.
After a few days of interviews, the snack street became much busier than usual.
Xia Anan saw that there were two people at almost every stall, and thought that this specification should have been arranged when the new product was launched, at least it wouldn't be so busy at that time.
At this time, a user with the ID "Noodle Genius" posted a video about the recipe of scallion pancakes in the snack street, which was pushed to the top of the popular video list.
When fans and netizens first saw this video, they were a little indifferent. After all, there were too many people in related entries claiming to reveal the truth, but in fact, what they made had nothing to do with the scallion pancakes in the snack street.
But when people in the comment section posted photos of scallion pancakes that were almost identical to the ones in the snack street, more and more people started to get eager to try them.
—【If you don’t understand, just ask, are the pancakes really the same as the scallion pancakes sold at the snack street? 】
—【[图片.jpg]I really made it. Except for the first one which had a little too much oil in it, the rest were quite successful. 】
—【Family members, go and try it, this cake is really super simple. 】
—【I have sent this tutorial to my mother. If she can make it successfully, she won’t have to go to Sister Xia’s shop to buy cakes anymore.】
—【In fact, I like the snack street not only because of the texture of the crust, but also because of the taste of the sauce, which you really can't get anywhere else.】
Xia Anan was not surprised when she received the video shared with her by others.
She clicked on the video and took a look. It was 80% similar to her own method of making pie crust.
When she first launched the scallion pancake, she never thought she could make a fortune by selling it.
The recipe of scallion pancake is simple, so it is normal for people to figure out the recipe.
In her original world, the method of making scallion pancakes was not a secret, but the fact that the sales of scallion pancakes on the Internet have always been far ahead of other convenient semi-finished products is not an idle statement.
Some people like to try things out, while others just want to save time.
When Xia Anan saw the comments section below asking if this was how to make scallion pancakes, she silently gave the video a like.
I said I wasn't worried, but I was still a little concerned.
The main thing is that the scallion pancake stall is now run by someone else, and if sales become bad, she will naturally have to find a way to remedy the situation.
I thought I would receive news from Mo Xuemei and the others, but I didn't.
Xia Anan felt a little uneasy, so she sent a message to the other party anyway.
But surprisingly, the answer was that the sales of hand-pulled pancakes at the stalls were not greatly affected.
Just as she expected at the beginning, some people like to try new things on their own and want to try it themselves after seeing the recipe, but some people still think it is more convenient to go directly to the snack stand.
In addition, you can eat Xia Anan’s secret sauce at the snack stalls, and people are basically too lazy to go home and cook after get off work.
So in a short period of time, the snack stand's business didn't seem to be much worse than usual.
This made Xia Anan feel a lot more comfortable, and at the same time, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
"I have prepared another flavor of pancake for breakfast. Would you like to try it?"
Mo Xuemei was already very tired from preparing the scallion pancake stall by herself, and Xia Anan never thought of giving her any other options.
But now it seems a little unfair to Mo Xuemei. After all, she is an old employee. If there are new snacks, why can't she be one of the first candidates?
Mo Xuemei was silent for more than ten seconds before she spoke with doubt, "An An, you mean I can also set up a morning stall in the future."
"Of course you can if you want." Xia Anan answered affirmatively.
Scallion pancakes are more suitable for breakfast and dinner. Not many people eat them at noon, so Mo Xuemei doesn't set up her stall at noon.
Since you want to set up a breakfast stall yourself, it might be better if someone with experience guides newbies.
"I do, of course I do!" Mo Xuemei's voice trembled with excitement.
Think about it, he naturally knows about the recent recruitment of new people in the snack street.
As for what kind of stalls the newcomers would set up, she was just curious and never thought that one day she would be able to take part in the show.
After all, she is very satisfied with her current scallion pancake stall. She has more free time and can do whatever she wants.
In addition, she is the only one selling scallion pancakes in Chunhua Plaza now, not to mention the usual customer flow, and the money she earns is more than she imagined.
Now that Xia Anan gave her the opportunity to set up a stall and sell breakfast, she naturally would not refuse.
"Sister Xia, when should we start breakfast? What do we want to buy later?" Mo Xuemei asked.
Xia Anan was silent for a moment. "We have to wait for a while. Don't worry. I will notify you when the new product comes out."
Mo Xuemei naturally believed Xia Anan, but she felt that since Xia Anan had mentioned this matter, the new product must be on the market soon, so she would just wait for the arrangements.
No matter what others say, she knows one thing: following Xia Anan is the right thing to do.
At first, she just thought scallion pancakes were delicious, and when she said she wanted to try making them, all her friends didn’t understand.
But she resolutely followed Xia Anan to start setting up a stall, and now it seems that her decision was right.
While her former colleague is still working hard, she can now be considered a small boss.
After hanging up the phone with Meng Xuemei, Xia Anan went to the place where the boiler was customized in person.
What she wanted to drink was different from the ordinary pot. It would be fine if other snacks were made in the same pot, but this time the new product was different.
After Xia Anan told the boss what she wanted, even the old master couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Little girl, I've lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I've seen something like this. What are you going to buy?"
Xia Anan naturally couldn't say: "I can't tell you this yet. After you make it, I will take out the food it will make and prepare it. You are welcome to come to the snack street to taste it."
"Snack Street, are you saying you are from the snack street?"
Just when the boss was surprised, the boss's son came back from outside and his eyes were full of surprise when he saw Xia Anan.
"Sister Xia? You are the Sister Xia from the snack street, right?" The young man strode over.
Hearing this, his father looked a little confused, "What snack street? Son, do you know this boss?"
The young man was very excited at the moment and said quickly: "Of course I know him. Dad, the delicious cake you ate before was sold by this boss. You said at that time that you had never tasted anything like it."
The boss's eyes fell on Xia Anan, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Really? I didn't expect that a girl like you, although young, could do such an amazing thing."
Xia Anan was embarrassed by this. "The things in the snack street only look fresh. I usually have to thank customers for coming to patronize me. When my new products are ready, you can come and try them."
After Xia Anan finished saying these words, the young man looked at the drawing in his hand again and again, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what Xia Anan was going to make.
However, he had eaten so many things in the snack street, and he believed that what the other party would prepare next would also suit his taste!
"Okay, boss. I need this urgently. If you have any questions, please contact me. I'll take care of the rest. Contact me after you make the first version."
"Of course I will. I will stop doing the orders I have now and arrange things for Boss Xia first!"
After joking for a while, Xia Anan left the shop.
After buying what she needed, Xia Anan prepared to go home.
Thanks to Lu Qingyuan's help, Xia Anan has been busy these past two days. She bought some extra vegetables today to thank him.
When I got home, Xia Baobao had followed Lu Qingyuan to the company and had not returned yet.
Xia Anan put all the necessary ingredients on the chopping board and began to prepare today's lunch.
Cut the pork belly into large slices, fry over medium-low heat until golden brown without adding oil, and fry out the fat in the fat. This way the finished product will not be greasy.
Take out the fried pork belly and use the oil in the pan to fry it into sugar color. It looks beautiful and tastes good.
Put the fried meat in, add appropriate amount of boiling water, and start stewing.
Xia Anan also fried some tiger skin quail eggs and green peppers, bean curd sticks, bean curd skin, kelp knots...
Add your favorite vegetables when the meat is soft and stew for about 20 minutes.
The staple food is still rice. Thinking that their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, Xia Anan feels that it will be time to change to a bigger rice cooker soon.
Finally, prepare a small cold dish to relieve the greasiness, and today’s lunch is ready.
Fresh corn is now available in the market. Xia Anan bought several and made corn juice.
She had just poured the corn juice into the cup when she heard some noise coming from the living room.
Xia Baobao trotted over, leaned on the glass door and looked at her, and waved his hand after their eyes met.
Xia Anan put down what she was holding and opened the door. "Why is it so hot? Mom will take you to wash your hands."
The little guy's face was red with heat, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and nose.
Xia Anan turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little to prevent the little one from catching a cold.
When passing by the living room, I saw someone slumped on the sofa with a look of despair on his face.
Xia Anan: "...Didn't you say you would bring Bao Bao to the company? Is there a power outage in your company?"
In novels and TV dramas, the boss's office is always on the top floor. If you come down from the top floor, it's so hot...
That makes sense.
Lu Qingyuan: “…”
Xia Anan washed Xia Baobao's hands and face and prepared to take him to the bedroom to change into clean clothes. It would not be too late to take a bath after dinner.
As soon as I took off my shoes, a layer of sand fell down.
Xia Anan was stunned for a moment, and turned her shoes upside down...
Wow, if you don’t know, you would think that this is a shoe used as a container to hold sand.
"Daddy takes Baobao to play in the sand!" The little guy's eyes sparkled and he took out a white shell from his pocket.
He carefully put it in Xia Anan's hand and said, "Give it to mom!"
Xia Anan looked at the white shell in her hand and laughed: "Thank you, Baobao, I will keep it well. Have you been playing in the sand all morning?"
"Yeah! Dad, let's play together!"
The little guy's feet were also covered in sand, and the places where they touched the shoes were rubbed red.
Xia Anan brought some clean water, washed him clean and checked him, finding no wounds, and changed him into small slippers.
When I finished packing and came out of the room, someone was still lying on the sofa, looking exhausted. It seemed like he had aged a dozen years in just this morning.
"Lu Qingyuan, are you okay?"
Xia Anan still gave her most sincere greetings to her boss.
It’s not like the other party had taken Xia Baobao out to play before, but this was the first time he was so tired.
Those who knew thought he was going out to play, while those who didn’t think he was going out to do some hard labor.
Lu Qingyuan glanced at her and spoke weakly.
"It's okay, I can still hold on until I finish my meal."
