I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 239 Opening for businessOn the day of the official opening, Xu Congyi was still feeling nervous, and the nervousness was lingering in her heart like a tide. However, when she turned her head to look at Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao standing side by side, she found that they both seemed unusually calm and composed, as if the opening day was just an ordinary episode in their daily lives, without any ripples at all.
Xu Congyi could understand Shen Xiao's calmness to some extent. After all, that was just his personality. Moreover, whether the business made a profit or a loss, it would not have much substantial impact on him. After all, he was not the real owner of the restaurant.
However, Tang Wenhao's calmness was beyond her expectations. You know, during the days of preparing for the restaurant, Tang Wenhao was busy running around, worrying about all kinds of trivial matters, as if he wanted to pour all his efforts into this restaurant. But now, when it really came to the moment of opening, he seemed to have become a different person, not in a hurry at all. This completely different transformation surprised her.
Xu Congyi couldn't help but tell Shen Xiao about his thoughts. Shen Xiao just smiled after hearing this, "Yiyi, Tang's shops are all over the place. He grew up in such an environment since he was a child. He has learned more from what he has seen and heard. Moreover, Wenhao also runs a shop himself. He has experienced opening a shop several times before, so he is naturally not in a hurry."
After hearing what Shen Xiao said, Xu Cong suddenly realized that although she had traveled from the modern era and possessed knowledge and wisdom beyond this era, she knew nothing about doing business. After all, she was just a low-level worker in the modern era and knew very little about business. Fortunately, she had Tang Wenhao as her backer, so she didn't have to worry about opening a store and could do what she liked with peace of mind.
The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and the door slowly opened to welcome guests from all directions. Good luck in the opening! The first three days were for the opening activities. In order to attract customers, they decided to give 20% off on all consumption. This was also the result of the three people's discussion.
In the kitchen, a silent battle has already begun. Two experienced chefs are responsible for stewing the meat in the big pot in advance. They are skilled and control the heat just right, making each pot of meat fragrant and mouth-watering. Three other chefs stew in small pots, each of whom is responsible for a different type of burger. The work of washing vegetables and cutting meat is undertaken by three skilled sisters. They are quick and have superb knife skills. They handle baskets of fresh vegetables, fruits and pieces of tender meat in an orderly manner. Four other sisters are responsible for cold dishes and drinks, and there are also several aunts who wash dishes and pots. They are all skilled people.
Even before dinner time, customers have already arrived. The waiters are alert and alert. When they see customers coming, they immediately step forward with enthusiastic smiles. They are wearing clean blue shirts and a shiny rag tied around their waists, looking well-trained.
"Please come in, sir. Our Tangji Baoxiangyuan is newly opened today. All dishes are 20% off! I guarantee you will be satisfied!" The waiter's voice was crisp and pleasant, which made people feel good. Xu Congyi was also very satisfied watching from the side. In this era, restaurants did not use beautifully printed menus as commonly used in modern times. Usually, customers had to rely on the waiter's clever oral instructions to order dishes, or on the signs hanging on the walls of the store with a few simple signature dishes. Therefore, the waiter's on-the-spot reaction was very important.
When it was time for dinner, the downstairs was already full, and many private rooms upstairs were also open. Of course, there were guests who came to support Tang Ji, and at this time Tang Wenhao went on stage to socialize. Although he was not keen on such social occasions in private, once he was in such an environment, he could quickly adjust his state and show his extraordinary social skills.
After lunch, when the last group of customers left with satisfaction, the door of the restaurant slowly closed, marking the official end of today's lunch business. Shen Xiao went back to the academy first. Tang Wenhao, Xu Congyi and Zhang Guanshi, who was in charge of the daily operation of the restaurant, went straight to the kitchen, all of them worried about the consumption of lunch. The kitchen was no longer noisy as it was at noon. The chefs were busy cleaning the stove and washing pots and pans, while several sisters began to sort out the remaining ingredients and prepare for the afternoon. Seeing the three people coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Tang Wenhao spoke first, "Manager Xu and I will come to see how our three kinds of hotpots are selling at noon."
When Xu Congyi heard such a name for the first time today, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud and almost choked. But she quickly adjusted her mood, knowing that this was Tang Wenhao supporting her and letting her establish prestige in front of the guys, so that they would not dare to look down on her.
