Chapter 295: Exquisite breakfast shop menu book
Lord Shangshu smiled coquettishly: "Madam is wise."
"Hmph." The lady snorted softly and said to Meng Si: "Little fellow, are there any other breakfasts in the breakfast shop?"
"Madam, yes, there are sixty kinds of breakfast to choose from in the shop." Meng Si replied respectfully.
"Sixty kinds!" Madam, Miss Wen and Master Shangshu were all shocked.
The breakfast they eat on weekdays consists of porridge and some pasta. They eat something different every day, and it's the same thing every ten days and a half.
Unexpectedly, the breakfast shop actually has 60 kinds of breakfast.
"Are the sixty kinds all the same?" Miss Wen asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, a different breakfast." Meng Si took out the menu from his pocket: "This is the menu of the breakfast shop, please take a look."
Meng Si held the menu with both hands and delivered it to the table.
Miss Wen was the closest and couldn't wait to pick up the menu and read it.
The menu provided by the delivery boy is specially designed by Gu Xiaoyou, unlike other restaurants where the menu is just a piece of paper.
The menu designed by Gu Xiaoyou is copied from a rice paper album.
The cover of the album is batik blue paper, with a white signature paper affixed to it. On the signature paper, there are five words for the breakfast menu.
Four golden lotus flowers are painted on the four corners of the rice paper, which is fresh and elegant.
The album pages are folded. Once you open the cover, the album pages will unfold like the pages of a folding fan.
The name of the dish, the quotation and the simple drawing of the dish are all on it, which is exquisite and detailed.
Another reason why I chose an album book for the menu is that the album book has two sides. If you turn it over and look at the other side, it is still a menu.
Writing three of the sixty dishes on one page with pictures can be done on ten pieces of rice paper. Each page is clear and understandable.
The album is also easy to carry and not easily damaged. It does not take up space and saves effort for delivery workers to carry it.
Miss Wen fell in love with the menu book after flipping through a few pages.
Not to mention that the paper quality is very good, each page has color pictures for easy understanding, and if the detailed process is written, it will be no worse than the recipes on the market.
"This menu brochure is so beautiful." Miss Wen praised.
"Oh, my daughter, I want you to read the breakfast, not the menu book." The lady said helplessly.
Her daughter has been fond of all kinds of rice paper and colored paper since she was a child. She became obsessed with paper-cut greeting cards a while ago, and bought a bunch of paper-cut greeting cards, which were plastered all over the house.
Now that I like the menu book again, my wife doesn’t even know what to say.
He took the booklet directly from Miss Wen, and Madam looked through it on her own.
At this glance, we can understand why Miss Wen likes brochures, and they are indeed very original.
But what Madam is more interested in is the name of the dish on the brochure: "What is this pancake fruit?"
"Madam Hui, it's our popular breakfast. It's made of thin pancakes and eggs. There are two kinds of meat and vegetables." Meng Si replied.
"Sounds good, give me some meaty pancakes and fruit." The lady said.
"Yes, I will write it down right now." Meng Si took off the pen box from his waist, took out a long notebook from his sleeve, picked up the pen and started writing on the paper.
"I want this cartoon steamed bun, as well as soy milk, and today's lotus cake." Miss Wen leaned over to look at the menu and ordered a few items.
"The few things that were sent to me today will be sent to me again tomorrow." Master Shangshu must make up for the regret of not eating today.
Meng Si listened and took notes. After taking notes, he repeated it again. After confirming that it was correct, Lord Shangshu finished speaking and took out a few taels of silver from his arms: "Breakfast money, and the extra money will be given to you as a reward."
"Thank you, sir." Meng Si quickly knelt down and took the broken silver with both hands: "If you have nothing else to say, I will leave."
"It's nothing, you can go." Master Shangshu waved his hand.
"Rong Xiao took the food box back," Meng Si said.
"Give it to him," the lady ordered to the maid.
The maid packed the dinner plates and food boxes and handed them to Meng Si together with the menu booklet: "Take it."
"Thank you." Meng Si stretched out his hand to take it and greeted the Shangshufu family before bowing respectfully.
Miss Wen was reminiscing about the delicious breakfast and accidentally glanced at Meng Si's back. Only then did she notice that he was wearing very eye-catching clothes and had a lotus embroidered on his back.
"It's really wonderful." Miss Wen covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking that next time she and her little sisters would definitely go shopping on Lutan Anyang Street to see if Boss Gu had any other new things.
Meng Si had a smile on his face and left the Shangshu Mansion with a smile on his face.
After leaving the door, he walked back to the takeout truck and put the food box back into the wooden box. Meng Si touched the new order in his sleeve pocket and his smile widened a little.
Not only did he meet Lord Shangshu today, but he also talked to Lord Shangshu. This is something he never dared to think of in his life.
What's more, they also received reward money. The boss said that the reward money will be their own, which is really great.
Meng Si smiled stupidly, adjusted his instruments, untied the tether, and happily drove the takeaway truck away from Shangshu Mansion, heading towards the breakfast shop.
When Meng Si drove the takeaway truck back to the breakfast shop, he saw that the expressions on the faces of his colleagues were similar to his. Everyone must have gained a lot.
He parked the takeaway truck and couldn't wait to report it to Boss Gu with the broken silver and the new order.
"Boss, this is a new order from Shangshu Mansion, and there is also the money collected."
Gu Xiaoyou collected the order and looked at it, then looked at the broken silver in Meng Si's hand: "Here is your reward. Go to the accounting office to settle the account. You can keep the remaining reward yourself."
Now she has learned how to look at broken silver. Although the speed of twisting silver to measure silver is a bit slow, it is still better than stringing copper plates together before.
"Thank you, boss." Meng Sixiao's eyes narrowed into slits as he took the order and broken silver to go to the accounting office for settlement.
The accountant quickly calculated the accounts with an abacus, twisted the broken silver, looked at Meng Si and said: "No more, no less, this is yours."
"Thank you." Meng Si thanked him happily, collected the money, and happily shared what happened in the morning with his colleagues.
The backyard of the breakfast shop was very lively, full of the chattering sounds of delivery people.
Gu Xiaoyou was annoyed and simply asked these men, who were noisier than women, to wash all the dishes they brought back.
A group of men gathered around the well, squatting on the ground to wash dishes. Gu Xiaoyou asked the men to supervise them, and the backyard was finally clean.
Probably due to the freezing well water in autumn, the delivery guys calmed down a little. They followed Gu Xiaoyou's arrangement and went home to rest in the morning, and continued to familiarize themselves with other routes in the capital in the afternoon.
