Stall setting starts from Malatang

147 Chapter 146, Interview

"It's okay, it's incomparable with the three days of the food festival, so I just eat for a living."

"You haven't eaten, have you? I'll treat you to Malatang. Thank you for your help the day before yesterday."

Lin Xiaojian struggled and said, trying to take the initiative to get along with outsiders.

Inviting Zhang Yin to dinner is indeed a thought from the heart, after all, he has really helped him, and the treat is not against his will at all.To be honest, he still thinks that the grade of Malatang is too low.

"Haha, ok, give me the Invincible Devil's Spicy - that's a mouthful of a name."

"I'm here today to do an exclusive interview with you, besides grabbing a meal, do you think you're free?"

Zhang Yin accepted Lin Xiaojian's kindness frankly, and then asked directly.

In his many interview careers, this trip was considered shabby, and he was sent away with a bowl of Malatang.If you interview those big businessmen, you can get some souvenirs back.

What impressed me the most was the interview with an agricultural cooperative that grows oranges the year before last. They brought back more than a dozen boxes of oranges, filled the entire back seat of the car, and got 1000 yuan according to the market price.

"What? Interview!?"

Lin Xiaojian said in surprise, even though he had decided to change himself and wanted to be a person with an inflated sense of superiority from now on, he still couldn't help showing a look of astonishment when he suddenly heard the courtesy that only the big bosses had in his impression.

"Yes, this time is an exclusive interview."

Zhang Yin looked at Lin Xiaojian's surprise with some pleasure. This was the sense of honor that the reporter, the uncrowned king, gave him.

"I wrote an article for your Malatang before. It was similar to a travel note or an essay. It was published on the cultural life page. It is different from today's interview in terms of strength and angle."

Lin Xiaojian, who had never been in contact with it, was puzzled by the few professional vocabulary Zhang Yin said—the newspapers seemed to be divided into grades, and today’s trip sounds more compelling than ordinary newspapers.

"Yeah!"

He hastily agreed, carefully caring for the big reporter's Mala Tang, trying to make a good impression on him.

Who cares about being famous?Anyway, it doesn't cost money to publish in newspapers, so after printing, it will attract a few customers, right?

Zhang Yin looked around at this well-known Mala Tang, the facilities were very simple, no different from a few days ago.There are three wooden tables under the dilapidated shed, and the criss-cross lines on the table reveal the traces of vicissitudes of life.

From the perspective of a well-informed reporter, the taste of Xiaolin Malatang is up to standard, but the environment is a bit inferior, not up to the grade of an online celebrity shop.

Many Internet celebrity shops, in terms of environment, are different from traditional restaurants. They are usually small and fresh, brightly lit, and embellished with various fashionable elements.

Another plan for self-made roadside stalls like Xiaolin Malatang is to develop in the direction of fly restaurants, completely abandoning decoration, and creating a delicious flavor that is completely opposite to the environment.

Usually, the better the decoration environment, the higher the customer's expectations for the restaurant. The requirements for 10 yuan tomato scrambled eggs and 30 yuan tomato scrambled eggs are definitely different.But if it's a roadside stall, I don't have much expectations. The taste is good and the food is full. If you can put less oil, salt, monosodium glutamate and other heavy-tasting condiments, it can be regarded as very particular.

"Hello, Boss Lin, can we start now?"

"Okay, okay, do you think I want to change clothes?"

"It's okay, you are very energetic today. By the way, does Boss Lin usually do facial maintenance? Why is the skin so good? I have the impression that the skin of chefs is a bit rough. This should be regarded as an occupational disease?"

"Ah? It's okay, there's no maintenance. I'm a big man, what are you doing with those things? Does it count to use Dabao facial cleanser once a week?"

"Haha... Let's get started, just ask a few random questions, it's not a live broadcast, you can relax a little bit."

After Zhang Yin finished eating, he took a camera and took pictures everywhere in the stall.The diners at the same table looked at him in puzzlement, wondering what this guy was doing, an ordinary roadside stall, what's there to photograph?After the diners gradually dispersed, he sat back on the table and chatted with Lin Xiaojian.

"Where is Boss Lin from? How long have you been here?"

"Shengouli Village, Honghegou Township, Gulu County, Cigarette City, Southwest Province, I have been to Fengzhou for less than a year."

"From humble beginnings, strive for self-improvement."

"..."

"Before selling Malatang, did you do any other work?"

"I worked as a mechanical apprentice in a plastics factory. Because I didn't like the control, I started setting up a stall."

"Innocent and unrestrained."

"..."

"What prompted you to sell Malatang? Have you ever worked in catering?"

"No, didn't the news call for all the people to set up stalls? It just so happened that the fellow who sold Malatang quit and went back to his hometown, so I took all the things over. I don't know anything, and I learned from scratch."

"Intelligent, hard-working and studious."

"..."

"Your Malatang soup base, the original sweetness and devil's spicy are different, did you invent it yourself?"

"Yeah, just, let's learn more and try more. In order to make a good soup base, I use several times the ingredients of my peers, and the cost is very expensive..."

"Conscientious and meticulous."

"..."

In Ask Me Answer, the interview was successfully completed, and the process was not as grand as Lin Xiaojian imagined.It's just under the simple booth, there is no camera, no beautiful assistant lady, just turn on the recording function of the mobile phone, and ask some very basic questions, without any depth at all.

He found that his communication skills were not bad, and he could occasionally make a few jokes, which amused reporter Zhang.Probably because I have been living in seclusion for the past two years, I am too housebound, and I have too little communication with people. I subtly think that I have social anxiety and don't like to communicate with people.

Thinking about when I was still studying, I was at the top of my class and often recited compositions on stage, but I didn’t feel that I was an introvert at the time.

In the parallel world in the dream, Lin Xiaojian was only a little shy in front of Lin Sisi, and made quite a few friends during his college career.It's just that money is tight, and I can't participate in various activities like ordinary college students, so I don't seem to fit in well.

As the wallet gradually thickened, his self-confidence slowly returned.As the saying goes, "Money is the guts of a man", most problems can be solved with money.A man who can solve problems is a good man.

"Okay, thank you Boss Lin for your cooperation."

"Let me add your WeChat. When the newspaper is published, I will send you an electronic version."

Zhang Yin said politely.

"Okay, you sweep me."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaojian quickly opened his WeChat QR code, leveled his hands, and respectfully asked him to scan it.

This is a joke that Lin Xiaojian saw on the short video, saying that when exchanging business cards in the mall, you have to pass them with both hands, so that you are polite and show that you value each other.In the Internet age, business cards are not used much anymore, and WeChat is added instead.Then when you ask someone to scan the code, offer it with both hands, such details can reflect self-cultivation.

Lin Xiaojian grew up freely and casually in a poor mountain village. His parents were farmers, so he never thought about teaching these things.Thanks to short videos, I often see some interesting jokes. I don’t know whether they are true or false, but they sound quite reasonable anyway.
