本期小尚带你走进这家“小”店↓↓
After the Spring Festival this year, there was a small shop on Qujiang Road that underwent some changes - the store sign that was originally "Fuda Grain and Oil" was replaced by "Fuda Roasted Grain and Oil". ”
This small shop, which has been open on Qujiang Road for 5 years, has changed its front door 3 times. "yes, we just like to toss. The proprietress Dong Wenhui said with a laugh.
In addition to rice oil, this grain and oil store, which is less than 80 square meters, also sells dumplings, wonton wrappers, eggs, pastries, steamed buns, grains, roasted nuts and other foods. The products they sell often have some changes, as the proprietress said, "constantly tossing" and grabbing the "stomach" of consumers. "Whatever people like to eat, the store sells, and the products must be carefully selected. "In recent years, with good food quality, the store has also accumulated a lot of repeat customers.
In 2019, Dong Wenhui and her husband Bai Luning from Inner Mongolia opened the first freshly wrapped dumpling shop on Qujiang Road - "Fuda Dumplings" with the skills of northerners making dumplings. At that time, the couple got up at five or six o'clock every day to prepare fillings, roll out skins, make dumplings, and hired three dumpling workers when business was at its best.
In 2021, the uncle of the grain and oil store next door could no longer renew the lease of the store due to personal reasons, and the "Fuda Dumpling" store took down the grain and oil store. Although they encountered the new crown epidemic, the couple is not worried about business, their dumplings already have many "loyal fans", and grain and oil are also everyone's daily needs.
Later, because her son was about to take the college entrance examination in her hometown, his wife Dong Wenhui couldn't rest assured, so she went back to Inner Mongolia to take care of the child, leaving her husband alone to guard the store. "In fact, making dumplings is a labor-intensive job, I am really too busy alone, small business, it is not cost-effective to hire people, so I had to give up the dumpling business, sublet part of the store, only do grain and oil business. "Fuda dumplings" were also renamed "Fuda Grains and Oils".
After her son was admitted to university, Dong Wenhui returned to Hangzhou, and Bai Luning didn't want his wife to work too hard, so the two simply ran the grain and oil store seriously. Every day, the couple gets up at 6 o'clock and works until 10 o'clock at night. Customers who come and go can always inspire them, such as when the weather is cold, everyone likes to roast rice, and when the weather is hot, everyone likes to eat braised duck......
In addition to listening to the opinions of customers entering the store, they often go out of the store to inspect the market to understand the current products and reliable purchase channels.
This year, the store sign of "Fuda Grain and Oil" was changed to "Fuda Roasted Grain and Oil". "Because my friend is in the business of roasting goods, the quality is assured, so we buy from him. The weather is a little hotter, and after the roasted goods are off the market, we will sell braised duck with a great reputation, and we will also sell fruits. Boss Bai Luning said.
A small grain and oil store can always keep up with the "food" generation under the "toss" of the couple, and their way of doing business is hard work and keen insight. It is precisely because of this that the small shop can be deeply rooted in the downtown area and ignite the city's fireworks with the power of healing.
