Since his daughter-in-law had given the order, Wen Zhichao had to act quickly. The place couldn't be too remote, otherwise it would affect his daughter-in-law's business. It's also best not to be too far away so that it would be convenient for his daughter-in-law to get there. The surrounding environment should be good, otherwise his daughter-in-law would not be safe.

Wen Zhichao searched for half a month and finally found a store that was for sale. The owner was preparing to pack up and do something else.

This is a single-family house, also a residential house. The house has three floors. It is estimated that the landlord lives on two floors, and the other floor is the storefront. The interior is well decorated and painted. It only needs to sweep away the dust and cobwebs.

Wen Zhichao took his wife to see the store. Xia Ruzheng looked at it carefully inside and out, and observed the flow of people. In the end, he felt that although there were still some flaws, it was acceptable.

Although there are two storefronts, Xia Ruzheng feels that the space is a bit small.

But when I think about it, since mine is the head office and theirs is a branch, I can accept it.

After signing a contract with the landlord, Wen Zhichao hired someone to do the renovation and bought tables and other things. Xia Ruzheng asked Haichao to help monitor the progress of the project, because Haichao would be the foreman and store manager here in the future, while Zhang Aiguo would be in charge of the kitchen.

After taking over the store, Xia Ruzheng called all the employees together and assigned them tasks.

Zhang Aiguo also knew in advance that Xia Ruzheng was going to open a branch, and it was not surprising for him to know that he had to go to the branch. Going to the branch was not because of distrust. On the contrary, it was because of trust that he was sent to the branch. After going to the branch, Zhang Aiguo became the head chef, and the head chef of the main store was Xia Ruzheng himself.

When Zhang Aiguo heard that Haichao was the store manager, he was not dissatisfied, because the store manager needed to deal with many things, not only managing people, but also money, customer needs and so on, which he really couldn't take care of in the kitchen.

After appointing the chef and store manager, Xia Ruzheng assigned the waiters, because the main store also had to host various banquets, and

After the distribution was completed, Xia Ruzheng said, "From now on, the benefits and treatment of employees of the same level in the main store and the branch stores will be exactly the same. Comrades who go to the branch stores don't have to worry about their wages and benefits."

Since the opening of Quanjiafu, except for two employees, one who went back to her hometown to give birth to a child and the other who was not here because her family arranged other work for her, the others have not left, because they cannot find a job with such good treatment and such a kind boss anywhere else.

Haichao became even busier supervising the progress of the project, and the whole family began preparing for Awang and He Lijuan's wedding banquet.

Awang's family conditions are quite good, and he must have met many girls before, but he still fell in love with He Lijuan. It can be seen that He Lijuan must have some outstanding qualities. However, Xia Ruzheng is not familiar with her. He only knows that she is the leader of a sewing group in the garment factory, and the efficiency of the group she leads is quite high.

Before the wedding banquet, Awang brought He Lijuan to confirm the menu, drinks, and the number of guests.

He Lijuan is a very pretty girl. I heard that she is a local and used to work in a state-owned factory. She has long and narrow eyes, delicate features, a fair face, and a tall and thin figure. She is very outstanding.

After the two of them looked at the menu and discussed for a while, they changed a few dishes, and Xia Ruzheng took note of them.

Awang's mother also came to see the banquet, but she didn't just look at the menu; she also took a look at the decor. In fact, Awang's mother had hoped her son would hold the banquet at a state-owned restaurant; after all, the family had the money, and it would be classy. After viewing the family portrait, she still had some objections, but considering Xia Ruzheng and Awang's good relationship, she didn't make any demands.

The most satisfying part was probably the menu. At noon that day, Xia Ruzheng specially invited Awang's mother to have a meal in the restaurant so that she could taste the chef's skills. The people Xia Ruzheng picked were certainly very good, and Awang's mother was very satisfied. She said, "Not bad, this tastes good."

Xia Ruzheng said, "Of course, my shop isn't big, but I rely on this skill to make money! Don't worry, Auntie, every dish will be carefully prepared by us, and we will definitely satisfy our customers and you!"

"That's good."

"Also, we'll decorate the restaurant to make it look festive, and the dishes will be generous, so the guests will definitely be able to eat their fill! When the guests think of it in the future, they'll say, 'Awang's wedding was so lively and festive, and the food was delicious!'"

These words made Awang's mother smile: "That's good, girl, I will remember what you said!"

Xia Ruzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after he had dealt with Awang's mother. Awang's mother had been a leader before, and she was really not that easy to deal with.

Because of Awang's family situation, the upstairs and downstairs will be occupied by the banquet. Xia Ruzheng thought about it and asked someone to build an awning outside and put a few tables there. Other individual customers can eat there at that time without affecting the store.

There are more guests this time, but Xia Ruzheng can cook by himself, so there is no need to worry.

The restaurant starts preparing the ingredients early. The meat is delivered from a nearby slaughterhouse early in the morning. Four pig halves plus some offal make up the equivalent of two pigs! The vegetables are also delivered early in the morning by nearby farmers, so they are very fresh.

Everyone arrived at the store early in the morning to wash and cut vegetables in preparation for the luncheon banquet. This day, Xia Ruzheng was so busy that he couldn't even get up, so he had to ask Grandma Liu to help look after the food. Tian Nier came to help again because she knew Awang.

Xia Ruzheng cut the vegetables quickly. At around nine o'clock, some dishes that needed to be boiled or stewed were put on the fire and cooked.

At around ten o'clock, we started preparing the dishes. We had already hosted two banquets before, so everyone was quite experienced.

At around eleven o'clock, guests began to arrive one after another. The waiters led the guests to their seats according to the seating arrangement provided by Awang. There were snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, small fruits, and of course some drinks placed on the table in advance, so the guests could chat.
