The result of the food tasting was very good, and everyone praised it. Even Mr. Cen nodded in approval at the end, saying that Mrs. Ye's cooking skills had indeed improved.
This gave Mrs. Ye a lot of confidence, and she was not as nervous about the opening three days later as she was at the beginning.
After seeing all the guests off, Lu Hongyun gathered everyone in the store.
“Everyone performed well today. There were no major problems, but there were still a few minor mistakes.
“Anyone who has made a mistake should know it in their heart, so I won’t elaborate on it here.
“I told you before that if nothing goes wrong today, I’ll give you all a reward.
“Originally, I thought that since it wasn’t error-free, it shouldn’t be given.
"But Madam You said that firstly, everyone was working very hard, and secondly, the mistakes were minor and innocuous, so many people corrected them right away.
"So the rewards that should be given to everyone will still be given this time. I hope everyone can be fully focused on the opening day and try to avoid the mistakes made today."
Everyone working in the store was a little discouraged at first, but after hearing what was said next, they immediately cheered again.
Although the reward was not much, everyone was still very happy to get some extra money.
Mrs. Ye once again felt fortunate that she had invited Lu Hongyun.
She put all her energy into cooking today and didn't pay any attention to how other people were doing.
Moreover, she had already given the reward money to Lu Hongyun, and it was agreed that she would have the final say.
Unexpectedly, even when Lu Hongyun was giving everyone rewards, he did not forget to give everyone a warning, and also reminded everyone not to forget to thank Mrs. Ye.
After everyone left, Mrs. Ye specially expressed her gratitude to Lu Hongyun.
Lu Hongyun didn't think it was a big deal, and said with a smile: "Madam You, you hired me to do something, so of course I have to consider you wholeheartedly. Of course, you are the one who should be the good person, not to mention that the money was originally paid by you.
"Besides, I'll be managing these people in the store from now on, so it won't hurt to let them think I'm a little strict. It will make it easier to handle things impartially."
Mrs. Ye took Lu Hongyun's hand and said, "I'm so lucky to have you here!"
…
On the sixth day of July, Mrs. Ye got up early, dressed herself up, and put on the gold bracelet given by Boss Ye and the gold earrings given by Qingtian.
After she had tidied herself, she called Qingtian up and put on new clothes for her.
After the whole family had breakfast together, Boss Ye took Sister Ye and Qingtian straight to the new restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, everyone else had already arrived.
Several servants were tying big red silk flowers on the doors and windows under the command of Lu Hongyun.
Several long strings of firecrackers had been hung out on wooden sticks.
Mrs. Ye stood at the door, looking at the plaque covered by red silk, feeling a mixture of emotions.
She said to Ye Laoda, who was holding Qingtian beside her, “This past year felt like a dream.
"Now we have a daughter, and we've opened a restaurant that's this big and this grand.
"In the past, this was something we wouldn't even dare to dream of."
Boss Ye held Sister Ye's hand and said, "I will work hard together, and our family will live better and better in the future."
Mrs. Ye immediately shook his hand back.
It has to be said that the fact that Mrs. Ye won third place in the cooking competition and then opened such a large restaurant did put a lot of pressure on Boss Ye.
But although Mrs. Ye knew the pressure he was under, she didn't say much.
A few words of comfort are only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
Besides, it’s not a bad thing that Boss Ye knows how to make progress and work hard for this.
Everyone spent the morning busy preparing for the opening.
The auspicious time calculated by someone happened to be close to noon, so we could open the door and welcome customers directly after the opening ceremony.
Lu Hongyun had already asked people to spread the word throughout Beijing about Madam You's plan to open a restaurant.
Three days ago, after everyone came to try the dishes, they also recommended it to people they knew.
So before the auspicious time arrived, there were already some people watching the fun and interested diners gathered outside.
Seeing that more and more people gathered outside, Lu Hongyun immediately asked the dragon and lion dancers to go out and warm up the atmosphere.
The sound of gongs and drums and the cheers of the crowd soon attracted more people.
Soon, the auspicious time arrived, and Mrs. Ye went out and tore off the red silk on the sign, revealing the four big words "Youji Restaurant".
In fact, when naming the restaurant, You Bin suggested that they should choose a name like Qionghualou that looked formal, and he even wrote down several alternatives.
And even if we have to call it something, it should be called Cen's Records. How can it be called a travelogue?
However, Mr. Cen felt that they should continue to use the name "Youji" because it was very simple and easy to remember, and there was also the foundation laid by the previous Youji Dumpling Restaurant, so many people in Beijing still knew Youji.
Such a consistent name will make people think that the dumpling restaurant has the same owner even if they don't know the truth.
Changing the name may cause you to lose some customers.
The two people held different opinions, and in the end, only Mrs. Ye could make the final decision.
In fact, from a rational point of view, Mrs. Ye is more supportive of Mr. Cen and thinks it is better to continue using the name "Travel Notes".
But she was not very good at saying this.
After all, this store belongs to Mr. Cen, and even the decoration was done by Mr. Cen himself.
Her father had already said it was inappropriate. If she said that travel notes were better, it would seem like she was plotting to take over the old man's property.
