Chapter 232 Big Order

After hearing what Lao Wang said, Malu felt that it was a bit too wasteful to put this thing on the shelf for sale directly.

He then remembered something and asked Jijina who was about to go out to do business, "By the way, you said last time that there was a big order, what did the customer require?"

"Hold a BBQ party, requiring at least ten kinds of barbecue, special drinks, and the other party is willing to pay 8,000 star coins." Jijina replied.

Malu's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Speaking of BBQ, the most suitable drink is beer, and I can also get ten kinds of barbecue, but I don't know how many people will come to the party."

"I asked last time, and the customer said he needed to wait until we confirmed whether we could accept the order before inviting his friends." Jijina, "But he also gave me a rough number, saying that it would not exceed 30 people."

"30 people." Malu touched his chin. The last time Chen Zhengyi came to eat, he spent a total of 700 star coins, but 200 of them were to meet Lao Wang to inquire about his hometown, which means that he spent a total of 500 star coins for the meal.

If there are 30 people, it will be 15,000 star coins. However, for a BBQ, the dishes should not be as exquisite as when hosting Chen Zhengyi. The price of 8,000 star coins for 30 people is not unacceptable.

It just so happens that Malu is also planning to go back to the giant screen this week to see how Boqi and the others are doing, and to buy some more goods for the desktop farm.

So he said to Gigina, "Go and talk to him again to see if you can convince him to pay more. Just say that we have exclusive drinks that you can't get anywhere else."

Gigina nodded and then went out of the sewer.

At 11 o'clock, He Xiaoqian opened the door of the restaurant on time. As a result, the first guest who rushed in today was Wang Feng, the owner of the grocery store across the street.

"Mr. Ma, where is the cat urine beer?"

Wang Feng glanced at the small blackboard as soon as he entered the door. He didn't see it, but he didn't give up, so he asked again.

"Oh, the launch of cat urine beer has been postponed." Malu said.

"Ah, why?!" Wang Feng was struck by lightning when he heard it.

His look was also seen by other diners who came in. They were also curious, "Cat urine beer, what is cat urine beer? What new dishes are there in the restaurant?"

"It is a beverage we have been developing recently. It is still in the trial stage and has not been put on the shelves for formal sale." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Malu could only tell the truth.

"Drink, I like it, when can I drink it?" Suddenly, many people were interested, "And it's beer, boss, do you brew it yourself?"

"Almost," Malu said vaguely, "The new beverage is very expensive, not very cost-effective, everyone should not wait."

He originally wanted to use this to dispel everyone's curiosity about cat urine beer, but he didn't expect that it would arouse their rebellious psychology.

Someone snorted coldly, "Boss, do you look down on us? We all come to your restaurant to eat, how can we not have money? If you have any good things, don't hide them, and bring them up quickly."

Malu's signature dish this week, the devil's braised rice, has been slightly increased in price because it uses 5-star ingredients, the devil's grinding wheel pumpkin as the main ingredient. Although the increase is not much, it is only a symbolic increase of 20 yuan, but a serving of braised rice has been sold for 418.

The customers who can still come to eat now are indeed those who have some money.

In fact, after just over two weeks, there are fewer familiar faces of customers coming here, especially the fans of more than 20 WeChat groups that Malu accumulated when he set up a snack stall outside Hangda University. One third of them have left the group.

And many of the remaining ones who still stay in the group are just for chatting or watching the fun, and there are fewer customers who are really willing to patronize.

However, on the other hand, due to the continuous fermentation of word of mouth and the strong recommendation of old diners who have eaten, there are many new faces.

Most of these people are gourmets. They have eaten a lot of delicious food before and are becoming more and more picky about restaurants and chefs. However, they are more and more hungry in their hearts, eager to taste dishes that can make them shine.

And they are willing to pay a high price for it.

Zhang Yang is one of them. He was born in a family of chefs. His grandfather was a national banquet master and his father was also a local top chef.

However, in his generation, he himself had no interest in cooking. In order not to take over his father's job, he deliberately chose interior design in college.

Later, he went abroad to study, completely away from the family business, and embarked on a completely different path from his ancestors.

However, because he grew up eating the food cooked by his grandfather and father, he was extremely picky about food. During his two years of studying abroad, Zhang Yang spent most of his money on food. He ate almost all the famous restaurants in Europe and tasted countless masterpieces.

While satisfying his appetite, he also gained a new understanding of cooking. He found that cooking, which he originally hated, actually had a lot in common with the interior design he liked now.

Both contain the creator's unique insights and pursuit of beauty, which also made him gradually understand his grandfather and father.

However, the pursuit of beauty is always a lonely road, and the further you go, the more so.

Whether it is interior design or food, there are fewer and fewer things that can move him.

More and more new restaurants are only concerned with chasing new trends and constantly innovating in form, but ignore the most important deliciousness of the food itself. Even those Michelin restaurants that have successfully won stars, many of them taste more like gimmicks than taste.

On the other hand, most of the old brands are self-contained, immersed in the glory of the past, afraid of change, unwilling or afraid to follow the pace of the times, and gradually abandoned by the world.

Zhang Yang felt that the more he ate, the more boring it became. So after work, he made an account to comment on the restaurants he had eaten.

Originally, it was just a casual complaint written for himself, but he didn't expect that because of the spicy, ruthless and meaningful writing style, it unexpectedly gained a lot of readers. Now the number of readers of each article is over 100,000.

And the reason why Zhang Yang came to the Universe Infinity Canteen today was because someone recommended it. That person vowed to him that the food here would not disappoint him.

However, Zhang Yang has heard a lot of similar things over the years, and he didn't take it too seriously. He just turned around to try it because he was bored and happened to pass by nearby.

After entering the door, he looked around the decorations around and couldn't help frowning.

The decoration design here can only be described as horrible, with no aesthetics at all. Every floor tile and every wall is just short of writing "saving money" on it.

Zhang Yang shook his head, it was hard to imagine that a restaurant owned by a boss who had no pursuit of beauty could make any dishes worth tasting.

It seemed that he had come for nothing today.

But since he was here, Zhang Yang still sat down and prepared... huh?

He looked around again and found that there were no seats left in the short time he was looking at the decoration of the restaurant.
