Chapter 956: Chapter 401: The Door-Nail Meat Pie Isn’t Big Enough? Then Let’s Make Hebei’s Famous Xianghe Meat Pie!

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhentao added two marinated eggs into the meal box.

Then he packed some braised beef.

Since it’s Lin Xu’s cousin who wants to eat, it surely has to be abundant.

Soon after, Lin Xu, carrying a takeaway bag, left Yanjing Restaurant and drove to Haidian No. 4 High School.

The meal time had passed, and there were only a few customers at the front of the Ziqiang Shengjian store.

Chen Yuanyuan was wearing the latest company-designed winter outfit styled like a parka, with a scarf wrapped around her neck, and a baseball cap on her head, fully geared for winter.

Lin Xu parked the car, carried the packed meal to the entrance:

"Bundled up like Santa Claus, is it really that exaggerated?"

Chen Yuanyuan was not pleased:

"Hey, you heartless capitalist, do you know how cold it is standing here in the wind all the time? What delicious food have you brought, hurry up and let me try it, I’m freezing and starving..."

As she spoke, the Shengjian chef inside greeted Lin Xu.

"I spent the whole morning in the kitchen at Yanjing Restaurant, packed braised pork ribs over rice for you guys, plus a few small dishes. Hurry and eat while it’s not busy."

"Not bad, you still have some conscience. When you and Yueyue get married, I’ll secretly open the door for you."

Lin Xu laughed.

Do I need you to open the door?

As long as the ones blocking the door delay even a little, the bride will go over and open it herself.

Our Shen Baobao isn’t someone who follows the rules.

After a few customers buying Shengjian buns left, Lin Xu asked:

"How’s business these past couple of days?"

"It’s okay, students are enthusiastic about buying, Teacher Su often comes to help; now our store’s daily revenue has surpassed other branches and is catching up with the main store on Yingchun Street."

Just then, from the other side of the street railing, Dachun’s voice came:

"Manager Chen, please make twenty beef Shengjian, thirty fresh meat Shengjian, thirty shrimp Shengjian, eight cups of soy milk, six cups of yam juice, six cups of pumpkin soup."

Chen Yuanyuan responded:

"Alright, I’ll send them over right away, please wait a moment."

After speaking, she put down her chopsticks and started packing Shengjian buns and drinks.

Once the drinks were packed, as she was about to deliver them, Lin Xu took over:

"You continue eating, I’ll deliver them."

"My dear brother really deserves my care, thanks!"

Lin Xu carried the items to the guardrail, and smiled to greet Dachun:

"How come you’re ordering food just after lunch? Didn’t the students eat enough?"

Dachun said:

"They’re growing, the cafeteria meals lack substance, so now PE class has become a food class. This is for some students, more will come to buy later."

"Won’t the school penalize you for buying food for students like this?"

"No, our director allowed it, even comes to help at times. Everyone wants the students to eat well, and this Shengjian is better than random snacks."

After handing over the drinks, Lin Xu gave Dachun the Shengjian buns he ordered.

After finishing these tasks, he returned to the store entrance and looked at Chen Yuanyuan:

"Do you deliver like this across the road every day?"

"Yes, otherwise how could our sales increase so quickly? Thanks to Dachun and Teacher Su’s help."

Lin Xu thought for a moment:

"Next time Dachun buys for students, let’s give them a 20% discount. Your commission remains unchanged, and the discount is deducted from the overall account."

Chen Yuanyuan thought for a moment:

"Then let’s set up a group purchase quota. For group purchases like Dachun’s, we’ll apply a direct discount, retail prices remain unchanged. I think this method is better and won’t cause disputes."

Being a cashier kind of underutilizes your talents.

Lin Xu waved his hands like an indifferent boss:

"You can discuss with Sister Jing, I won’t ask too much."

"You heartless capitalist, want to exploit me again!"

"The more capable, the more work, what can you do, you’re my sister, I’ll save a few meat pies for you in the evening."

"That’s the kind of good brother I have, I’ll draft a group purchase plan tonight, discuss with President Dou tomorrow, if feasible, we can start executing it."

After chatting for a while, Lin Xu drove back to the store.

Upon reaching upstairs, Zhuang Yizhou came out of the kitchen:

"Boss, you really agreed to let Siliang work here, right?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Qi Siming spoke for him, how can I refuse? Let him be your assistant first, and see how he adapts."

No matter if it’s Yanjing Restaurant or Fishing Platform, employees who come out often struggle to adapt to Lin Ji’s kitchen work intensity.

Too many dishes, one after another, with no time to stop.

So, newcomers must first adapt before taking on specific duties.

Around four in the afternoon, Lin Xu started preparing dough for meat pies.

While busy, Shen Baobao returned with Dundun:

"Recorded ten classes in one go, my son is so tired he’s yawning continuously."

Lin Xu emerged from the kitchen, curiously asked:

"How’s the quality of the recordings?"

"Very good, Professor Ren asked several times if Dundun understood, Dundun waved him to continue teaching, looked quite amusing."

As long as it’s engaging, that’s good.

Lin Xu was about to return to the kitchen to continue with the dough when Shen Baobao said:

"Yan Bao teased me deliberately this afternoon, Xu Bao, can you make some especially large steamed meat buns to tease her back? She’s nearly forty, what’s there to boast about?"

You sisters still love and fight each other as always.

Extra-large steamed meat buns?

The term "ding" in "door nails meat buns" inherently means small; if they’re bigger, wouldn’t that be... Hey, got it!

Lin Xu suddenly remembered the Xianghe meat pies he won in a raffle last time.

Both have thin crusts and lots of filling, both absolutely filling with meat, with nothing but scallions as garnishing.

In that case, let’s make some Xianghe meat pies then.

This type of meat pie, with a diameter over half a meter, should meet Shen Baobao’s requirements... right?
