Chapter 200 Using Backdoors
A chorus of wails filled the air.
However, everyone knows that only 50 were prepared, and they will definitely be sold out in just a few minutes.
The rest of the team immediately started thinking about tomorrow.
"Boss, could you prepare more for tomorrow? I definitely need to eat them tomorrow; 50 is far too few!"
"Boss, I'll pay 100 yuan for one. Can you make it for me now? My plane ticket is for tonight, so I definitely won't be able to eat it tomorrow."
"Why did you prepare 50? Goodness, isn't this just making us all drool and unable to eat any?"
Chen Yuan glanced at the prepared ingredients and said helplessly.
"I'm sorry, we only prepared 50 today. The fermentation of the old dough takes time, the seafood will be delivered in the early morning, and the broth will need to be simmered for three hours."
"I really can't make anything extra today, I'm so sorry everyone."
"Tomorrow there will still be 50, but it will be limited to one per person, to prevent anyone from buying too many."
Chen Yuan didn't know when Sister Tiantian left.
They're probably busy getting back to edit videos.
It was noon soon.
The queue in front of the breakfast shop finally dispersed.
Chen Yuan was wiping the worktable with a rag, and several eight-ingredient steamed buns were steaming on the stove.
This was left for his own people to eat.
Soon, someone showed up uninvited.
As usual, Lu Xingye carried an insulated bag with the Xingye Tea logo and walked over quickly.
Her ponytail swayed gently with her steps.
"Boss Chen, I'm here! Today I brought you white peach oolong tea. I've modified the recipe, so the white peach flavor is stronger. Please try it and give me your feedback."
Chen Yuan put the rag aside, washed his hands, and came over to get the milk tea.
After taking a sip, he nodded slightly.
"Yours is great, it doesn't have any artificial flavor at all."
"Of course! I used white peach juice. What do you think? Is the white peach flavor too overpowering?"
"I think it's okay, it doesn't taste too bland."
Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, also said, "It's delicious, I think it's really delicious. Having a sip of this on a hot summer day makes all the hard work of the morning worthwhile."
Hao Hao, who was standing to the side, kept nodding and said something indistinctly.
"Good...good, delicious!"
After listening to everyone's feedback, Lu Xingye approached Chen Yuan, his tone casual yet filled with undisguised anticipation.
"Boss Chen, your store is really making a big splash today. I heard people talking about it in the store."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, of course."
After swallowing hard, Lu Xingye said with a smile.
"I came to see you today mainly to ask if you could save one for me tomorrow? I've loved seafood since I was a child, and I've heard people at my shop say how delicious your seafood is. It's making me so hungry."
As he said this, Lu Xingye clasped his hands together and wiggled back and forth as if acting coquettishly.
Chen Yuan smiled when he saw the sincere and Zen-like look in the other person's eyes.
"I knew you were probably here to talk about this. I've got a pot of steaming food here, preparing it as a staff meal for everyone later. If you don't mind, you can stay and eat too."
Lu Xingye exclaimed in surprise, "My God, you're actually serving seafood buns that cost 88 yuan each as staff meals? Boss Chen, you're being way too generous!"
Aunt Li said with a smile, "Boss Chen has always been very generous."
Li Shen was very grateful for the lunch provided by the staff. This way, she and Hao Hao could not only save money on lunch, but also enjoy delicious food that others couldn't even get a chance to eat.
Aunt Li was very grateful for this, and she worked even harder.
Seeing that Chen Yuan was so generous in inviting her to stay and eat with him, Lu Xingye felt she couldn't be stingy, so she offered to bring some of the pastries from her shop.
After saying that, Lu Xingye left happily.
However, to Chen Yuan's surprise, the owners of several nearby shops also came.
Old Wang, who sells pancakes, puts a bag of freshly made multigrain pancakes on the counter.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen!"
"Boss Chen, these steamed buns look really good today. I've been a loyal customer of yours quite often. Could you save one for me to try tomorrow?"
Aunt Liang, who sells fruit salad, was also carrying a box of grapes, and she smiled very warmly.
"Well, Mr. Chen, I saved you a box of grapes. They just arrived this morning, and they're so sweet and delicious. Take them home for your daughter. I was also wondering if I could save a couple of those steamed buns for tomorrow."
There were also people offering cigarettes and snacks.
"Yes, could you reserve one of these good items for us? We'll pay for it."
"They're all neighbors, could you please reserve one for us?"
Chen Yuan did not refuse immediately.
"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I really can't keep all the steamed buns. Making 50 a day is a bit difficult for me. If you all want to eat them, I'll try to figure out a way, like making a mini-program or something, so you can grab them every night."
"As for your request, I really can't do it. I'm so sorry, please take your things back."
The men looked embarrassed.
Being rejected to one's face is quite embarrassing.
But everyone is also very clear about Chen Yuan's temper.
So they split up, giving themselves a way out.
"Okay, business people really have no choice. I understand, I can understand."
"It's alright, if you don't want to, that's fine too. Keep these grapes and eat them; I'll probably need your help again in the future."
"Okay, okay, if it doesn't work out, forget it. We're all in business, I won't cause you any trouble."
After most of the people had left...
The steamed buns were ready. Chen Yuan quietly called Lu Xingye over, took out a bun, cut it in half, and instructed Lu Xingye to deliver it quietly.
"Give half to Aunt Liang who sells fruit and Uncle Wang who sells pancakes. Tell them that since everyone was watching, I felt bad about giving them special treatment."
Lu Xingye said with a grin, "I didn't expect you to be so good at handling people."
Chen Yuan laughed and said, "This isn't called being human, it's called giving and receiving. The two of them often help me when I'm busy, and Uncle Wang always helps take out the trash from our shop."
"Also, Aunt Liang often helps with cleaning; she and Aunt Li have helped me clean several times. I guess that's my way of thanking her."
Lu Xingye turned to leave, but Chen Yuan stopped him.
"Wait a minute."
