日賣千顆的好吃餡餅 / Delicious pies that sell a thousand pieces a day

聽說很多名店的商品都是限時限量販售的，因為好東西不等人，所以讓人們趨之若鶩，後來，有個術語，叫做飢餓行銷，飢餓行銷我不知道是褒義還是貶義，因為很多店家會故意製造一物難求的排隊假象，藉此製造話題，帶動商品的銷售量，實際上，商品是否有那麼優質呢？天才知道。

利隆餅店是家老店，聽說早期是開在中華路，後來才搬遷到東門市場，搬到東門市場也三十多年，算不上百年老店，但是也有個四十多年的歷史，主要的商品有蔥油餅、牛肉餡餅、豬肉餡餅、紅豆餅、蘿蔔餅絲等，餅店不好找，它不在顯眼處，反而藏在東門市場的深處，我嘴饞想吃時，通常都在早上十一點時，過去買，因為晚點過去，就要排隊了，對地，雖然店家的外表非常樸實無華，我很少看到像這家店一樣，這麼斑駁的招牌，看來老闆是不打算要管這面招牌，不論如何，它算是一間排隊名店，有很多吃了多年餡餅的死忠客戶，默默的支持它，

我覺得它的特色是餡餅的皮非常的薄，但是餅皮煎的非常酥脆，內餡很多汁，一口咬下，口感豐富，因為裡面的內餡不止有肉，還有蔬菜，所以吃起來格外清爽，另外值得一提的是，它的價錢非常合理，我去買的時候是，每個餡餅的價錢是二十五元台幣，幾年前我剛知道這家店時，那時候，每個餡餅的價錢是二十元台幣，雖然漲了五元台幣，還是非常划算，因為很多店家賣的餡餅是一顆四十元台幣，因為這些因素，它可以日賣千顆，我的印象，他從早上開賣，賣到差不多中午就賣完了。

我那天去買餡餅是臨時起意的，所以中午十二點多才到達，到達時，牛肉餡餅已經賣完了，現場幾個店家員工一邊擀麵糰、一邊包餡料，再一邊油煎餡餅，我後面排了好幾個人，排我前面的婦人，一次就掃光了二十顆餡餅，所以我還要等十分鐘，另外，店家還有用電話預訂取貨的客人，好險，最後我還是有買到餡餅，我吃過不少排隊名店的食物，需要排隊的理由各有不同，其實，可以的話，還是盡量挑不用排隊的店家購買，我一點小小的體會。

I heard that many famous shops sell their products for a limited time and in limited quantities because good things are in high demand. This phenomenon has a term called "hunger marketing". I'm not sure if it's a positive or negative term because many shops intentionally create an illusion of scarcity to generate buzz and increase sales. But are the products really that good? Only time will tell.

Li Long Bakery is an old establishment. I heard it used to be located on Zhonghua Road before moving to Dongmen Market over 30 years ago. Even though it's not a century-old shop, it has a history of over 40 years. Their main products include scallion pancakes, beef pies, pork pies, red bean pies, and radish cake shreds. The bakery isn't easy to find; it's hidden away in the depths of Dongmen Market. When I crave their snacks, I usually go around 11 in the morning to avoid the long queues. Despite its modest appearance, I rarely see a sign as weathered as theirs. But regardless, it's a place where people line up, and it has its loyal customers who have been enjoying their pies for years.

What stands out about their pies is the thin, crispy crust and juicy fillings. With both meat and vegetables inside, they offer a refreshing taste. Plus, the prices are reasonable. When I last visited, each pie was 25 NT dollars. A few years ago, they were only 20 NT dollars each. Though the price has gone up by five, it's still a great deal compared to other shops selling pies for 40 dollars each. Because of these factors, they can sell thousands of pies a day, usually selling out by noon.

I decided to buy their pies on a whim one day, so I arrived around 12 noon. Unfortunately, they had sold out of the beef pies by then. Behind the counter, the staff were busy rolling dough, filling, and frying the pies. There was a queue behind me, and the woman ahead of me wiped out 20 pies in one go, so I had to wait an extra 10 minutes. They also had customers who had pre-ordered by phone. Thankfully, I managed to get my hands on some pies in the end. I've tried food from many famous places that require queuing, and each has its own reasons. But if possible, I'd still prefer to avoid the queues and shop elsewhere. Just a little insight from my experience.
