Song Qiu looked at the people watching outside the shop with a smile, and said: "Today is the first day of opening of the shop. Free tasting. Try it first before buying! My neighbors, please come inside!"
Fan Jin, who was specially sent by the Fan family in town to congratulate Song Qiu on his opening, a shopkeeper under Mr. Lu, and the second shopkeeper sent by Song Wenzhi, were at the front carrying gifts, said congratulations to Song Qiu, and were the first to go in.
.
The rest, as well as shop owners who opened nearby shops, each brought a gift to congratulate the new neighbor on their opening.
In the end, I had long been curious about what kind of desserts this shop sells, so I cheerfully said "We're happy to open the shop", and then rushed in first.
There were also some who took their time and stood there to take a closer look at the plaque.
I saw a plaque reading: Song Ji Dessert Shop
It's not the font commonly seen in shops now, nor is it the font they're used to writing in. It's round and polished. If I hadn't known it was called Song Ji Dessert Shop, I wouldn't have even guessed it.
It's quite interesting to look at. Those who have been to Songshan Inn will notice that it is exactly the same as the Songshan Inn's signboard when they look at the font.
After seeing the sign, I followed it inside.
The customers who came in were not in a hurry to buy anything, but looked around curiously and wandered around.
I saw a table set up at the entrance of the shop. On the table were two large plates with various desserts, which were free for everyone to taste.
Further inside, there are three large cabinet shelves. On the shelves, there are red lacquer trays placed side by side. There is a layer of oil paper on them. Various desserts are placed on the oil paper. In front of the trays, there is a
A small wooden sign with the name of this dessert on it.
This is in traditional Chinese, so that literate people can understand it at a glance.
I didn't know how to read, but when I saw that I liked the dessert, I called the person who greeted me and asked for my name.
"Hey! Man, what kind of food is this? Why is it as white and tender as egg custard?"
"Hey, man, what is this? Why are the round pieces so thin? What is this red paste on top?"
"Hey! Man, what is this? This is the first time I have seen a snack in a cup! Is this tea? Does it smell like milk? It's delicious!"
"Hey! Man..."
There were so many people squeezing in that the shop was almost full. Zou, Du Chuanfu and Yang Dalian, who were in charge of greeting the guests, really wished they could allocate a few people to help.
After Song Qiu shouted, he also returned to the shop to help greet him.
Ask this question and that question, I can’t answer it just by answering the question.
But on the first day of opening, they were selling desserts that no one had ever seen before, so people couldn't help but ask.
I'm really busy right now. I've put out my sign and promoted everything. Then I won't have to talk so much.
Everyone was polite and answered all my questions.
"This is our signature double-skinned milk! You can top it with various jams according to the customer's taste, and then sprinkle with red beans and crushed peanuts. It's warm, smooth, sweet, tender and delicious. It's absolutely delicious!"
"This is a fruit muffin. It's fragrant and sweet, not greasy, and has a soft taste. It can be eaten by people with bad teeth!"
"This is also the signature taro ball milk tea of our shop. You are right, guest, it is made with milk. It is fragrant and has an endless aftertaste. I guarantee you will want two more after one cup!"
"..."
After several rows of cabinets, there is a counter, behind which is the cash register.
There is a window in the back wall, which leads to the kitchen.
The items on the cabinet shelves were for people to see, and the final purchase was reported from the counter into the kitchen. The Yang family members in the kitchen were ready to teleport out from the window immediately.
In this way, people in the front hall don't have to go in, and people working in the kitchen don't have to come out, which is very convenient.
When a new store opens, how can any colleagues in the town not come to check it out?
The shopkeepers of two pastry shops mingled among the guests and came in with their hands behind their backs to spy on the enemy.
Yang Ji's shopkeeper was swiping around with mung bean eyes. When he entered the door, he swept the shop inside and out into the courtyard. He saw that the decoration was very different from their other ones. There were several shelves with desserts for everyone.
The selection is also novel.
In addition, there is another separate shop outside the flower window bar next to it. There are even tables inside. Is this a snack shop? It’s not a restaurant, so why are there tables?
And the chairs that go with the table, right? It’s not like they are so long, and there are cushions on them. Not to mention, they are soft, warm and comfortable when you sit on them?
What is this for?
Not only was he curious, but other guests were also curious when they looked over.
When asked, Mr. Zou immediately smiled and said: "Let the guests know that although we at Songji Dessert Shop can also take away and take away, the main thing is to dine in. Whatever you want to eat, find a seat and sit down, and there is an order.
, after you order, the waiter will bring it to your table, don’t be in a hurry, just a few or five friends, sit together, chat, and eat the pleasant desserts, how leisurely and contented is it?”
When everyone heard this, they thought it was interesting. Isn't it just like a teahouse?
When they have nothing to do, they go to the teahouse and order a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, which makes it easy to talk.
But teahouses usually have storytellers, but they are not as quiet as here.
Look at this place, the benches make you feel comfortable sitting on them. There is a vase on each table with various flowers and green plants in it. Although they are not very expensive, they are pleasing to the eye and smell.
It’s also comfortable and very relaxing!
The others were still watching after hearing this, so Fan Jin and the other two shopkeepers found a table to sit at, and cheered: "Where is the order? Come on, man, we are sitting here today.
Order some desserts to try!”
They had just received orders from their respective masters today to support Song Qiu's opening, and they would also take care of business later and pack desserts to take back.
On the first day it opened, there were so many people, so it was hard for the owners to come and join in the fun, as they would come later.
They are here to lead the charge.
Yang Dalian immediately went up with several menus specially handwritten by Song Qiu, and gave one to each of Fan Jin and the other three people to browse.
The menu is all in traditional Chinese, so there is no need to worry about people not being able to understand it.
Fan Jin and others immediately looked at the menu carefully. They saw that it was listed in rows and columns, and the price was marked at the end of each item, so that they could count what they ordered after looking at the price.
But today I just want to support it and don’t care about the price.
At that moment, Fan Jin ordered it first, "Give me the signature double-skinned milk, hawthorn sauce, and walnut cheese."
Lu Ji's shopkeeper said: "I want a cup of the signature taro ball milk tea and a lotus root powder and osmanthus cake."
The shopkeeper of Tongfang Pharmacy said: "I want this lotus root powder and fermented glutinous rice dumplings, and a fruit waffle."
Seeing them sitting down, several customers came in one after another to find a seat to sit down and order.
When the shopkeepers who came to check out the bottom saw this, they quickly sat down too! They tasted their tastes on the spot, so they had a good idea!
The diners here became busy, and there were people over there who also liked the dessert and tasted it in person under Zou's hospitality, and then said they wanted to buy it.
Those bought in packages, such as double-skinned milk tea, juice tea, etc., are packed in special bamboo cups with lids, making them convenient and easy to carry.
What you can eat here is specially made with various porcelain bowls and cups, paired with desserts, which are delicious and beautiful.
All of a sudden, the shop became very busy and lively.
