Upon hearing that they could choose their own chicken, families of three or four started picking right away.
Meanwhile, those who came alone or in pairs chose to buy a portion from the food truck first. After all, spending 8 Yuan on just a small piece wasn't exactly cheap, so it made sense to try it first.
As the crowd surged forward, Chen Mo unexpectedly found himself busy.
"Luckily, we have the help of the three ladies!"
On the outside, Su Shasha was helping customers select chickens and delivering them to the food truck.
Lu Yingqiu kept pounding non-stop, Yino busied herself swiping cards for customers, while Chen Mo was tearing chicken and skimming the froth, occasionally adding water to the pot. The four of them were quite occupied!
Meanwhile, the whole chickens hanging outside were gradually decreasing.
Zhou Xudong and his family of three each held a portion of lightly weighed snacks, exclaiming, "Good thing we were smart! Boss Xiao Chen's bang-bang chicken suddenly became a hit. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to buy it now!"
"Yeah, how did it suddenly get so crowded? I was even thinking of packing a portion to eat tonight," Jing Zhaodi was also a bit surprised.
The food area that was previously quiet suddenly attracted many people because of the dance and massage, which was quite normal.
But after the dance ended, everyone focused their attention on the snacks.
Normally, with just one or two people, they would casually buy a sausage or something.
But once the crowd increased, everyone wanted to join in the fun. Coincidentally, the chickens hanging on Chen Mo's rack looked quite festive, and the more onlookers gathered, the more it formed a herd effect.
Once someone tries it, others follow.
Li Xiaobo didn't realize that his inadvertent actions started this trend. When the chickens were torn into strips, many customers got their share.
This was a bit like playing the internet game, getting a rush of traffic by chance, but whether you can hold on to it depends on your ability.
Clearly, Chen Mo was someone with that ability.
The meticulously crafted sauce paired with traditionally made chicken sparked an enthusiastic response among customers.
"How is this chicken made? It's surprisingly delicious!"
"It looks spicy, but it's not... Ow! It's not spicy at all!"
"I was wandering around here for ages, how did I miss this snack? Boss, quickly give me another portion!"
"It's delicious, but a bit too little. Give me a whole chicken!"
Wen Zhiliang and his group had just finished eating, and the performance and massage were over. Looking at the scene, they were a bit dumbfounded.
"Why do I feel like they weren't here just for the dance?" Qin Fei was somewhat shocked. "The chicken is indeed very tasty, but is it worth standing in line for?"
"Of course, good food gets recognized. Why are you even asking? Old Wen, quickly get us another portion! If we wait any longer, there won't be any left!"
Wen Zhiliang was also getting anxious. A whole chicken seemed a lot, but it wasn't satisfying to eat.
Especially since the dish was served cold, and not greasy at all, it even boosted the appetite. After finishing, you crave more.
He immediately came out of the soup pool, not bothering to choose. Just as he reached out, another hand snatched the last chicken from him.
"Damn! Xiaobo? Give me that chicken, I have a few big bosses waiting on my end." Watching closely, he was relieved to see it was his distant cousin, not someone else.
Li Xiaobo was holding a bowl with his left hand and chicken with his right. "Damn! Cousin? Then let me join the stall!"
"Let's talk about the stall later, give me the chicken first."
"You won't let me have a stall, but you want chicken?" Li Xiaobo realized that Boss Chen was right. His cousin just didn't like his vehicle. Unless he replaced it, his cousin wouldn't let him join. So why be polite?
Li Xiaobo turned away and ran, swiping his card with a beep, "I want the pepper flavor!"
Wen Zhiliang was dumbfounded. Well, well, well, you still expect me to let you in? Dream on!
"Boss Xiao Chen!" Wen Zhiliang made an effort to squeeze into the crowd. "Hehe, give me a few more chickens, they're quite tasty."
Afraid his words didn't carry enough weight, Wen Zhiliang added, "I have a few big bosses over there waiting to eat!"
After all, he was the boss of the resort, and Chen Mo was just setting up a stall there. Surely, he would give him some face, right?
Chen Mo glanced back, seeing the rack was empty, and all the chickens Lu Yingqiu was pounding had owners too. He could only regretfully tell Wen Zhiliang, "If you want to eat, it'll have to be tomorrow."
Such a steadfast integrity!
Wen Zhiliang nodded in frustration, "Alright then, by the way, is your lamb soup ready? Since we couldn't eat the bang-bang chicken, can we at least have a bowl of noodle soup?"
"The noodle soup isn't ready either. The lamb soup isn't rich enough yet."
It had only been boiling on high heat for two hours. To achieve a truly rich flavor, it needed at least another two hours.
Feeling dejected from repeated disappointments, Wen Zhiliang thought to himself, am I not the owner of this resort after all? Why isn't anyone giving me any face?
Upon hearing about the noodle soup, a young man nearby immediately asked out of curiosity, "Boss, when will your noodle soup be ready?"
"Around..." Chen Mo glancing at the phone on the counter, "Probably by six in the evening."
"Right at dinner time. By the way, how much is a bowl of noodle soup? Is it good?" The young man eagerly asked, "If it's good, I'll stay and have dinner before I leave."
A full-day spa ticket didn't include accommodation, and most people would leave around five or six in the evening, and the resort's buffet only provided lunch.
Hearing that the noodle soup would be ready by six, coupled with the delicious taste of the previously tasted bang-bang chicken, many customers decided to have a bowl of noodles before leaving.
"A bowl of lamb soup noodles is 25 Yuan."
In Dakang Stronghold, it sold for 20 Yuan, which was already relatively high, sustained purely by Chen Mo's culinary skills.
Now, upon coming to the resort, regardless of whether the final performance would meet the target, a slight price increase was inevitable.
Hearing 25 Yuan, customers found it surprisingly acceptable.
That's how ordinary people's mindsets tend to work, even if the same product sells at a price difference separated by just a wall, as long as it's not overly exorbitant, it's still acceptable.
After all, in their perception: those setting up stalls here need to pay a stall fee!
With the bang-bang chicken sold out, those who weren't satisfied didn't wander elsewhere. It was already 4 o'clock, just two hours away from six.
Where to soak isn't a concern!
People found nearby hot springs to soak in, while others simply steam themselves in wooden cabins. Initially scattered around the resort, they now almost all gathered in the food area.
Zhao Jianzhong, watching groups of people gather here, sighed, "Old Wen, why do I feel like this little stall's influence is more powerful than our three industries combined?"
Powerful indeed, but Zhao Jianzhong had another concern in mind.
Whether it was massage or anything else, the ultimate goal was to attract outsiders here, not to gather those who were already here.
And now?
How can we make outsiders flock here and fall in love with a certain resort project?
As a veteran businessman, Wen Zhiliang knew that they couldn't rush to expand. Instead, they needed to focus on perfecting the dance performances and massage services first.
Mainframe games might have to wait a bit, as setting up the equipment would take time.
It must be completed before the arrival of new customers.
No longer delaying, Wen Zhiliang asked his assistant to arrange rooms for the three bosses to rest later while he quickly ran back to the office to hold a meeting!
