Chapter 203 is impossible to snatch.
Chapter 203 is impossible to snatch.
The next morning, Chen Yuan distributed the printed QR codes.
[Eight-Flavor Steamed Buns Available Daily (Limited to 80 Buns), with 50 numbers released online. Numbers are released promptly at 8 PM every evening. Pick up your bun with your code. One bun per person.]
The online pre-launch campaign was already underway yesterday, spreading throughout the city via local community groups, Sister Tian's social media accounts, and official announcements.
The older residents, though they don't buy online, are able to accept the 30-item limit offline.
The main point of contention is the limited edition of these 80 pieces.
80 is far too few.
However, Chen Yuan said he was somewhat powerless because seafood is very troublesome to process, and making 80 a day was already a lot for him.
Moreover, Chen Yuan didn't want the Eight Delicacies Buns to become just another ordinary product in the store.
Instead, they wanted to generate buzz through limited quantities.
Once the new store opens, these seafood buns will naturally become the store's first signature product.
Before 8 PM.
Wang Xiaoya dragged her tired body home.
She didn't even bother to take a shower, clutching her phone as she lay on the bed waiting for eight o'clock to arrive.
She was a regular customer of Chen Yuan's breakfast shop. Before going to work, she would stop by, buy a steamed bun, and happily take the bus to work.
But that's not possible now.
Chen Yuan's breakfast shop is crowded with people every day before dawn, including tourists from other places and online influencers.
If she wants to eat steamed buns again, she has to line up at 5:30.
This must be such a painful thing for an office worker!
Complaints aside.
Wang Xiaoya had done her homework today: she fully charged her phone, connected to the newly upgraded Wi-Fi network, and closed background applications.
A tablet and a spare old phone were also on the table, and all three devices were logged into the mini-program at the same time.
With three minutes to go before 8 o'clock, Wang Xiaoya was already fully prepared. Her finger hovered over the "Buy Now" button, and even her breathing slowed down.
"We have to get it! We have to get it!"
"Wang Xiaoya, you're amazing!"
Three minutes passed quickly.
It's exactly eight o'clock.
The moment the countdown reached zero, Wang Xiaoya's finger slammed down on the screen with lightning speed.
Before the interface even had a chance to load, the animation immediately displayed a line of cold, gray text.
Today's slots are sold out.
"???"
Wang Xiaoya froze for three seconds, then suddenly jumped up, even sending one of her slippers flying.
She held her head in her hands and jumped around twice in the living room, wailing and pounding her chest.
"Sold out in seconds?! How could this happen? Are they selling steamed buns or rockets? So fast!"
Frustrated, she repeatedly tapped the tablet to refresh, but the page remained unchanged.
The words "Sold Out" were prominently displayed above.
Wang Xiaoya bit her lip and spoke fiercely into the air.
"Ugh! I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm definitely going to get one tomorrow night!"
After she finished scolding him, Wang Xiaoya felt unsatisfied.
She couldn't help but pour out her grievances in the residents' group chat.
[Boss Chen's breakfast shop is doing too well! Before, if I wanted a steamed bun and a cup of soy milk, I could just leave early and buy them. Now, I have to get up really early every day, and if I'm even a little late, I have to wait an extra half hour. It's so infuriating!]
The group chat instantly erupted in cries of shared misery.
"That's right, that used to be our cafeteria, but now none of us residents can eat there anymore."
People from other places come here every day to rob us, while we working people get up early every day. What's the point of all this? I really don't understand...
I knew this would happen when Boss Chen started becoming popular. No matter what, his steamed buns are really delicious; I crave them if I don't eat them for a day.
And so, despite all the cursing and grumbling, everyone eventually succumbed to Chen Yuan's skill.
the other side.
The system voice sounded in Chen Yuan's mind.
[A milestone has been reached: 100 Eight Delicacies Buns sold.]
[Unlock Reward: Freshness-Locking Temperature-Controlled Box (Small)]
[Core Function: After food is placed inside, the insulated box precisely locks in the optimal eating condition, maintaining it for up to 24 hours without degradation. No secondary heating is required, and there is no drying or dehumidification, nor is there any cross-contamination of flavors.]
[Updated at midnight.]
Chen Yuan was pleasantly surprised. With this constant temperature box, the eight-ingredient buns could be made in advance, put in at night, and sold the next morning.
In this way, the morning work won't be so rushed, and we can increase the number of tasks beyond 80 in the future.
Chen Yuan was in a good mood when he suddenly thought of Su Qingxue.
Normally, Su Qingxue would send him many messages every day, but today Su Qingxue's chat box was rather quiet.
Chen Yuan was a little worried, so he took the initiative to send a message.
At the same time.
Su Qingxue sat at her computer desk and stretched vigorously.
On the desk was the investment and operations plan she had spent the entire day revising.
This is what she wrote according to the format, and the table of contents is very clear.
This was the first time Su Qingxue had ever taken a project plan so seriously.
Although some parts are a bit immature and naive, she is already very satisfied.
Besides wanting to help, Su Qingxue also had her own selfish motives.
She didn't want to be a "friend" who just looked at the blueprints and kept an eye on the quotes.
She wanted to stand by Chen Yuan's side legitimately.
This investment presents a great opportunity.
After checking the plan several times, Su Qingxue sent it to Su Qingjiang.
"Brother, this is the business plan I just wrote. Please take a good look at it, make sure you read it carefully and attentively, and give me your reply later."
After finishing writing about Su Qingxue, my tense mood finally relaxed.
She yawned.
I didn't have time to look at any other information before going to bed to rest.
I slept until noon the next day.
After seeing the message from Chen Yuan, Su Qingxue quickly replied.
At this time, Chen Yuan had already closed his business and was sitting in the mediation room.
The sound of the air conditioner running hummed in the air.
Chen Yuan sat in the main seat.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Lin Wei and her family of three filed in.
The situation was completely different from the last time we met.
Lin Jianguo and Zhang Guifang hunched over, their faces plastered with almost ingratiating smiles, even their breathing was deliberately soft.
Chen Yuan glanced at their faces.
The two men looked as if they had aged 10 years overnight. Lin Jianguo also had a few more strands of white hair at his temples.
Lin Wei walked behind them.
Her eye bags and dark circles were impossible to conceal, and her fingers gripped the backpack straps tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Zhang Guifang spoke first, her voice extremely low and deliberately softened.
"Xiao Chen, I'm so sorry, you've suffered a lot these past few days."
"Look at the compensation we brought this time, not a penny less. The lawyer said that as long as you sign, Haozi can be released on bail tomorrow."
"Look, we were family before, even if we were broken, our bones would still be connected. Let bygones be bygones..."
After saying this, Zhang Guifang squeezed out a few tears.
