Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 430 Hot Pot Restaurant Opening
Shen Qing and his group looked around for a while. Jiang Xiangbei came over quickly and said excitedly, "Mother, there are already people who look like servants walking back and forth outside. I guess the master sent them here to investigate!"
They decided to open the restaurant at 4:15 PM. My mother said that once the sign was opened, they could welcome customers in for lunch.
Shen Qing was in a separate pastry shop, checking on the progress of the egg cake making. He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and turned around and said, "You can arrange for the waiter to announce the dishes outside!"
The most effective promotion these days is to recite the names of dishes fluently, so that people can know the characteristics of the shop. It is not only eye-catching, but most importantly, practical, and has become the characteristic of each restaurant.
She had thought that it was still early at seven or eight in the morning, and since the shop opened at ten, there would be enough time to start calling out the dishes at nine. Now it seems that new things are more attractive to the people of Jingchao who lack entertainment options than she expected!
"Okay!" Jiang Xiangbei responded and immediately went to notify them.
"Wait!" Shen Qing shouted, and added: "Also arrange for a few waiters to introduce our restaurant's dining methods, signature dishes, and special pastries during the break."
If a guy keeps talking for two or three hours, his throat will probably be hoarse for several days!
Moreover, if you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, the audience will get tired easily. They are a new shop and the way of eating is also new. They cannot just blindly copy the methods of other restaurants.
"Okay!" After listening to his mother, Jiang Xiangbei saw that his mother had no other instructions, so he strode out to make arrangements.
After a while, a well-trained voice announced the dishes outside the door.
When Shen Qing came out, there was already a circle of people surrounding the outside.
When it comes to the special way of eating, there are crowds of people inside and outside!
"Through our decades of experience, we've discovered that eating hot food in winter is incredibly good for both your health and your mood!
Healthy ingredients must first be fresh and secondly delicious. Keeping them warm in the cold winter is the most important thing, which is especially difficult!
In order to solve this problem, our host braved the severe cold and took the trouble to travel to several cities thousands of miles away. He gained an in-depth understanding of the differences in the quality of various ingredients and invested a lot of money to repeatedly try out which meat was more suitable for which way of eating.
In order to maintain the temperature, I tossed and turned day and night, thinking about it, and finally came up with the hot pot way of eating! "
I don’t know who applauded first, but one led to two, two led to four... and soon there was warm applause.
Liu Cuihua was stunned when she heard this, and sighed softly: "Oh my God, that's so true! Shen Qing, it's really not easy for you. You have sacrificed so much for the hot pot shop!"
Shen Qing: ...This is just storytelling, it can't be true.
It’s just like when you’re hungry in the morning and want to eat a bowl of noodles, but the high-end restaurant starts by explaining that the wheat used to make the flour is pesticide-free, and that the water used to cook the noodles is mountain spring water, and then says that the beef used to make the topping is free-range so that the meat has an elastic texture, etc., making you feel that the money is well spent!
Let them feel that what they eat is different from what poor people eat.
"Now, please invite our host to unveil the red cloth and congratulate the official opening of Weilu Xiaozhu!"
Amidst warm applause, Shen Qing stepped forward.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
No one expected that it was a woman!
She is not very young, and looks like a grandmother. She is not very good-looking, and even a little plain. The only special thing about her is that her smile is very friendly, which makes people off guard.
A woman like this would definitely not open a shop through improper means!
Everyone was in awe of her. She was able to open a shop in the capital, especially in the most prosperous street where rent was the most expensive, and it was not by any dishonest means. This woman was not only smart, but also hardworking.
Shen Qing pulled down the red silk covering the plaque, and the sound of firecrackers rang out at the right time.
The waiter shouted, "This small house around the fire is dedicated to those who are the best eaters and the most knowledgeable about food!
Weilu Xiaozhu welcomes every guest! ”
Amidst the bustle, someone rushed in, followed by a crowd of people.
The lobby was packed with people, some were there to watch the fun, and some were there to get their seats.
"My master sent me to set up the table. He's entertaining his friends, so it needs to be able to seat at least six people. By the way, what are your signature dishes? I'll order first, and you can go up. If there's not enough when my master arrives, he can add more."
"Our master asked me to come. He wants a secluded wing room. There are only three of us, but don't worry, the money will be there! Arrange a room quickly so I can return and report."
"I didn't eat much for breakfast and I'm already hungry. Go and prepare it quickly. I want to eat soon!
Oh, and please introduce me to the restaurant’s signature dishes and how to eat them.”
......
Jiang Xiangbei and his colleagues immediately got busy, recording various responses.
"The Tingzhu Pavilion upstairs is spacious and can easily seat six people. Leave it for your young master."
"The Hanmei Hall is at the innermost part. It's elegant and quiet. Leave it to your master."
"We use a copper hot pot here. You put the ingredients in and blanch them until cooked. Then you can pick them up and dip them in chive sauce, sesame sauce, oil sauce, or any dipping sauce you like. Since this is your first time here, I don't know what your taste is, but it doesn't matter. I'll serve you one of each. You'll know which one you like after you try it!"
“I must recommend our shop’s unique egg cake to everyone. It is fluffy, soft and delicate, and melts in your mouth. It is definitely worth a try!
But don't worry, everyone, you came early, so you don't have to order. If you like it, you can buy some to take home for your wife and children~"
......
Shen Qing watched from the side for a while, and seeing that the fourth brother and the others could generally handle it, he turned and went into the kitchen.
It's only ten o'clock now, and it's still a bit early for lunch, but some curious guests came here without having breakfast and want to eat now.
The other group of people who asked the servants to come and arrange their seats did not arrive too early, so it was good that they were separated from each other, so that the kitchen would not be so busy that they did not know what to do.
The beef and mutton had been processed long ago, and a portion had been cut in advance for emergency use. Now all that was needed was to put the cuts on the plate while the person in charge continued to cut without stopping;
Various vegetables and soy products were also cleaned and drained early in the morning and placed there, and were directly served on plates according to the menu ordered;
The pastry shop has been busy since morning. Anur is whipping cream quickly, Asu is beating egg whites, and others are mixing flour and baking egg cakes.
Batch after batch of egg cakes came out of the oven, and the spacious house was filled with sweet aroma!
Su Mu saw Shen Qing coming over and asked worriedly: "Auntie, is it too much?"
The pastry shop is the largest of all the rooms, and now the wooden shelves are almost full. What if they can’t be sold?
The weather is getting colder now, but not too cold yet. It’s okay to keep the meat and vegetables until tomorrow. But the aunt who made the egg cake said that it is the softest and sweetest when it is freshly baked, and tastes best when eaten hot. Is it okay to keep it until tomorrow?
