Chapter 456: Her Inscription, the Last Night (Part 3)
With such doubts in mind, Cao Dou looked at Jiang Da with a strange look in his eyes during those days.
"Little Bean, what are you looking at me for?"
"Ah~ Big Brother, it's great that you're still alive."
Jiang Da: “?”
Is this kid crazy?
Back to the present, Cao Dou went to the advertising company and modified the menu according to the suggestions of Han Yunru and Jiang Fuyue. He then redid it and the resulting sample was indeed better than before.
Another Reese Bye!
"Okay, let's make two hundred copies according to this seal and send them to Jiang's Private Restaurant this afternoon."
Then he looked at the finished product of the promotional banner.
Han Yunru said that red was too vulgar, so she changed it to a yellow background with blue words, and printed silver-gray patterns on the cloth, which was eye-catching.
It does look much more textured than the red banner.
"No need to change it, it's fine as it is. I'll send it over with the menu later. By the way, where's the framed sign you sent earlier?"
Boss: "It was just finished this morning. It's a bit heavy and I haven't moved it out yet. Can I take you over to have a look?"
Cao Dou: "Okay."
The two of them went into the inner room.
The boss lifted a piece of red cloth to reveal the signboard underneath, and the five big words "Jiang Ji Private Kitchen" jumped into view.
It can be seen that the current "Jiang Ji Pancake" sign was made by the same person.
Iron painting and silver hook, bold and unrestrained.
The boss rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "This calligraphy is really well written. Even though I don't know calligraphy, I feel it is majestic and powerful just by looking at it."
Cao Dou read it once, then read it a second time, nodding: "It's quite good..."
"Little brother, which master did you ask to make this brush? To be honest, several old customers have asked about it. Do you think it is possible to introduce one to them? My old customers are quite wealthy and can definitely afford the price."
As he said this, he handed Cao Dou a cigarette in a flattering manner.
Cao Dou doesn't smoke and politely declines.
The boss thought he was unwilling to reveal it, so he quickly assured him, "I'm not afraid of you. Those old customers really like this calligraphy. If you can help me connect them, how about we split it 70%? I'll take 70% and you take 30%."
“It’s not about the money…”
"I'm six, you're four!"
Cao Dou's mouth twitched, his eyes full of helplessness: "I really don't..."
"Alright, alright! Don't say anything more. Wuwu, just tell me that I'll give you half of the money I earn. This is like getting it for free. I can't give it up anymore!"
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to help you connect, nor that the money is too little, I just don't know who wrote this."
"Ah? Didn't you send this? How come you didn't know?"
"This was given to me by someone else. I was just running errands."
"Is that so..." The boss looked regretful, "Why don't you go ask that person who wrote it?"
Cao Dou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll try, but I may not be able to find out."
"Alright! Then will this sign be delivered directly to them as well?"
"Yes, cover it with a red cloth and hang it up when we open tomorrow to maintain a sense of mystery."
"good."
After dealing with the advertising company's matters, Cao Dou took a taxi directly to the store and inspected the site again. After making sure that the interview area, tasting area, dining area, and waiting area were all arranged correctly, he went outside to wait for the advertising company's delivery truck.
During this time, he cleaned the front desk again and polished the wooden carved fortune cat until it was shiny.
Soon, the truck arrived and all the materials were moved into the warehouse. He checked and counted them one by one before signing and paying.
After washing his hands, Cao Dou called a dozen newly hired waiters and asked them to gather in the store at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
He had clearly emphasized this at the end of the training, but to be on the safe side, he still notified them again.
All the people recruited this time are young men and women with good personalities, but they are also a bit lazy. Although they have received on-the-job training, they still need constant reminders and supervision.
After finishing all this, Cao Dou returned to the villa in the setting sun.
Jiang Fuyue was tasting the air chocolate newly made by Han Yunru. It was mellow and melted in the mouth.
She nodded: "It tastes better than the last time."
"How sweet is it?"
“It’s not greasy or oily, just right.”
Han Yunru immediately smiled, returned to the kitchen counter, and opened her notebook to record the amount used this time.
If nothing goes wrong, the recipe can be finalized.
In addition to Jiang Da’s original dishes, the private restaurant also sells desserts developed by Han Yunru.
Only three products are released each month, and the prices are not low.
If you want to eat, order it; if you don’t want to eat, forget it.
Want something else?
Sorry, no.
If a pancake shop is the atmosphere of daily life amidst the bustling crowd, then this private restaurant is positioned as a comfortable zone where one can temporarily stop and rest in the crowd.
Cao Dou walked over, picked up the remaining dessert and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "...delicious!"
Jiang Fuyue threw away the disposable plastic fork in her hand: "Is everything arranged in the store?"
"Don't worry, everything is ready. We just need to open tomorrow."
"Yeah." Cao Dou is so attentive that he doesn't seem like a man. He is a completely different type from the rough guy like Jiang Da.
He is the perfect person to handle the delicate tasks of furnishings and arranging receptions.
"By the way, I just came out of the store and noticed that the store next door is also preparing to open. Could it be tomorrow as well?"
Jiang Fuyue gave him a direct and affirmative answer: "Tomorrow."
"Tsk, Master... uh, Yu Shangmei really is going out of her way to make things difficult for us."
"Why, are you scared?"
"You're kidding! Do you think I, Cao Dou, am scared by this little fanfare? Do you think all my publicity work was in vain? I'm telling you, the number of customers coming tomorrow will only increase, not decrease. Just wait and see!"
Jiang Fuyue had no doubt about this.
After all, Jiang Ji has gained considerable popularity online through its operations over the past six months.
There are still some fans supporting it.
She was worried about...
"What do you think? If the store gets crowded tomorrow and the line gets too long, will some people lose their patience or get too hungry and just go eat next door?"
"This... is impossible?" Cao Dou was shocked. He had never considered this before.
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips. "From your tone, it seems you're not entirely sure. But if it were me, I can tell you with absolute certainty that if the wait was too long, or I was too tired and hungry, I would just give up and go to another place to grab a bite, and then I'd be full of resentment towards this place with the long queue."
For customers, this is really not a pleasant experience.
Cao Dou frowned. "Then what do you say we should do? If there are really too many people, waiting for a table is inevitable! Don't pancake shops also have long lines?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head. "They're different. Most pancakes are taken out, so you buy them and go. They're also quicker to make than a table meal. You don't have to eat in, so the meal time is shorter and the lines are shorter. They can't be compared."
Cao Dou fell into deep thought: "If we want to keep customers, we have to make sure they don't get bored while waiting and have the patience to continue waiting..."
Following this line of thought, "We can offer some free snacks and drinks! But not too much. If people are full while waiting for their table, they won't be able to order much when they get in, which will directly affect sales."
"And if something is too good, the cost will also increase. So, ordinary candies and sunflower seeds should be fine."
Jiang Fuyue: "But there's a problem here. If something is too ordinary and popular, it will appear to be without characteristics and cheap."
Cao Dou let out a light click of his tongue and began to frown again.
"That's easy," Han Yunru came over. She had already washed her hands and taken off her apron. "I can make some simple handmade desserts, like snowflake crisps. The wrapping paper is special, so it looks classy. Although it's more expensive, it's sweet, so you won't eat much."
Cao Dou nodded. "Sister-in-law, this idea is feasible. Oh, and I'm also thinking of organizing some kind of check-in event. Have them take photos and post them on Weibo, and then enter a prize draw. Young girls these days can spend thirty to fifty minutes taking a selfie. Add in editing, uploading, and responding to comments, and it could easily take two or three hours. It's time for someone to take their turn."
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
After nightfall, the villa was brightly lit and everyone was busy making their final sprint for the night.
Cao Dou then remembered to ask Jiang Fuyue about the calligraphy: "Who wrote those words on our sign?"
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him and said calmly: "Why are you asking this?"
Cao Dou told Jiang Fuyue everything the advertising company boss said: "...Should we make this money or not?"
Three updates, three thousand words.
Tomorrow will be the fourth update, and the branch will officially open~ Then Sister Yue will also return to the research team to continue working with Xie 99~
Thank you for the birthday wishes from everyone in the comment section. Love you all. Heart~
