While Wang Yitong was busy with her own affairs, Zhao Yunhao contacted Wang Yitong again, saying that it was his fault and he wanted to start over. Wang Yitong smiled and refused.
As for Zhang Benyuan, Wang Yitong felt very complicated. Perhaps it was because he was the only one who treated her well at the moment, but his love was full of calculations and had no morals, which scared her and she rejected him.
Wang Yitong said to Zhang Benyuan: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect the child well. Thank you for being good to me, but I want to have my own life. Now I just want to have my own career and improve myself. When I meet the right person in the future, I will have my own feelings. Even if I get hurt, I still believe in love, but I have to keep my eyes open."
After knowing Wang Yitong's feelings, Zhang Benyuan said: "Tongtong, I always respect your choice. I hope we can be friends. If you need any help in your career, please feel free to contact me."
Zhang Benyuan didn't want Wang Yitong to know what role he played in her previous marriage, nor did he want to lose even their last friendship.
After Wang Dawei, Chen Jie and Wang Yitong took a liking to the storefront, they found out that it was also a soup pot restaurant, but it had gone bankrupt. The owner of the tables, chairs and benches was selling it at a low price, just wanting to recover the cost. After some bargaining, Wang Yitong was able to rent it. After paying the transfer fee, he renewed the contract with the landlord and signed a 3-year contract, and added a clause that if there is any sale, there will be an outstanding purchase.
Wang Yitong hired someone to redesign the shop, adding a youthful and fashionable touch, with Chengdu characteristics, pandas, facial makeup and other elements. In particular, the kitchen was equipped with half-floor glass, so people could see into the kitchen, which made people feel more at ease. In addition, he also went through the relevant procedures for opening a hot pot restaurant as before, and hired someone to register the shop name and logo: Jiawei Hot Pot.
At the same time, Wang Yitong also specially designed co-branded cards and coupons for the joint activities of Style Clothing Store and Jiawei Hotpot, so as to increase the interaction between the two stores.
At the same time, my second aunt, Chen Yinyi and people from my hometown have been trying the food and are almost vomiting. Fortunately, the store was renovated quickly, and they did a lot of publicity in the early stage and distributed flyers.
On the day of the official opening in July, Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, and Wang's father were in charge of the kitchen. Chen Jie, the daughter of Wang's father's friend from his hometown, and a newly hired older sister took care of reception. Uncle Chen Jie also took care of the bills, and the other two older sisters served the hot pot. In total, besides Wang's father and uncle Chen Jie, there were six regular employees, plus two older women from the neighborhood helping out in the kitchen. Wang Yitong also called Zhou Yinuo and Chen Chuan to help out.
Thankfully, the crayfish had been pre-fed and cleaned, and the sight of them being cleaned reassured passersby. A large pot and a mobile serving rack were set up at the entrance. Wang's father, donning his chef's uniform, began stir-frying spicy crayfish, the aroma of beer and a secret seasoning wafting through the air to the surrounding crowds. Orders for crayfish followed one after another. Meanwhile, Uncle Chen Jie explained that the restaurant's hot pot is also made with a secret base, free of gutter oil, and that diners can take the hot pot base to go.
Hearing about this unique feature, many people felt relieved and ordered a portion of crayfish, which is limited to one per table, and then ordered hot pot. After tasting the hot pot, they paired it with the special dipping sauce and enjoyed this delicacy.
Wang Yitong emphasized that in order to differentiate the hot pot restaurant, quality and reputation must be prioritized, and there must be a balance between giving and receiving. Her father, who had been working since summer vacation, prepared the ingredients in advance, allowing him to devote himself to the restaurant. Wang Yitong also installed security cameras in the hot pot restaurant, clothing store, and milk tea shop to prevent potential problems.
Fortunately, we now use computers to keep accounts and have specialized revenue software, making it easy to issue invoices. Also, if you spend over 300 yuan, you'll get a custom-made tote bag with the store name and address printed on the front and a panda on the back, which left a lasting impression.
In the summer, the restaurant is packed with people, and tables are set up outside. As the popularity of the restaurant grows, more and more people are lining up.
People around here also know about Jiawei Hotpot Restaurant.
Evening drinks were also a big expense. On the first night, the business lasted until midnight, and when the last table of guests left, Wang Yitong checked the first day's sales and saw they had already exceeded 15,000 yuan, a good start. Excluding labor and store costs, if sales exceeded this amount for four consecutive days, the basic costs would be recovered.
My uncle and Father Wang were overjoyed to see the income. The house in Le City was also owned by my fourth cousin's mother, so half the business profits went to her, while Chen Chuan went to Chen Jie. This time in Rong City, he invested all his money, along with Father Wang's, in the hot pot restaurant.
With the remaining money, they used it as a down payment and bought a two-story, three-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood behind the hot pot restaurant. They each had a room, and the other was used to store their belongings. They also moved their child's household registration to Chengdu. Xichuan Middle School gave Chen Chuan an admissions test and found his grades to be decent. They also paid a portion of the school selection fee, and he was successfully transferred to the high school department as a freshman.
Chen Chuan now eats regularly, and Wang Yitong even makes sure he drinks milk and goes to the park for a run every day. She also uses her vacation time to have Zhou Yinuo tutor him in math and English.
A few days later, the hotpot restaurant started operating smoothly. Although the hotpot wasn't as popular as the first day, it still made at least 12,000 yuan a day. As word of mouth gradually built, it sometimes exceeded 30,000 yuan a day, especially on weekends. The restaurant also implemented a rotation of Monday to Friday and no weekends.
Wang Yitong discussed with her father that the school work wasn't complicated, so she continued working. She would go to the hot pot restaurant in the afternoon to fry the ingredients in advance, and then leave the rest to Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, and her uncle Chen Jie.
To Wang Yitong's surprise, the limited supply of crayfish this summer actually attracted more people to the hot pot restaurant. The busy and clean kitchen can be clearly seen through the glass, and people can choose whether to take away the hot pot base. More and more people come to the restaurant to eat hot pot, and they feel that it is clean and reliable, and they don't mind the increased cost of the hot pot base.
