Chapter 299 Another Splendid Scene
"These two are scaled-down versions of the floor plans. Everything on the large picture is on these. You can refer to them when you order, but remember not to smudge with your hands."
Sang Yu said this not because he was afraid that they would dirty the picture, but because the pictures and small words on it were all drawn with sharpened charcoal pencils.
If you apply it randomly, it will soon become a mess and you won't be able to see it clearly.
Flat drawings on large paper can be drawn with a brush, but it is impossible to draw such fine details with a brush on normal-sized paper, so only charcoal can be used.
Sang Xingjia has been busy working in the store during the day these days. When he goes home at night, he not only has to copy new chapters of "Journey to the West", but also has to light a lamp to make blueprints. His eyes are red like a rabbit from staying up all night.
He was really exhausted, but fortunately today was the last day. He could have a good rest tomorrow and go to Master Chai to study.
With the large and small floor plans for comparison, and the fact that every time a customer came into the store to place an order, the waiter would add a message saying that Qinghuan Street can deliver to your door, someone came in the afternoon of that day to place an order for delivery.
For the delivery order, Sang Yu added an extra request. Although bamboo sticks were still used to mark the drinks, a thin linen cloth had to be tied to the sticks for distinction.
The function of bamboo sticks is not only to facilitate the preparation of meals in the kitchen, but also to serve as a reference for counting revenue at the end of each day.
The money from every drink sold must go through the cashier who takes the order.
It was impossible for Liu Mao to keep an eye on things all the time, and there was no surveillance, so he could only rely on reconciling accounts from all sides to verify whether anyone was stealing money.
The number of bamboo sticks used for ordering should match the number of bamboo sticks sent out by the kitchen, and then the amount on the bill should be checked to see if there is any discrepancy. If there is any discrepancy, the person who made the mistake can be found immediately.
Sang Yu took the initiative to offer to deliver the first delivery order himself, to a nearby restaurant.
Relying on the floor plan she knew by heart, she accurately found the restaurant with two cups of milk tea in hand.
When he walked in, he was not flustered when he saw the waiter coming up to him. He directly explained his purpose: "Waiter, I'm the guy from the pearl drink shop. I'm here to serve milk tea to the customers."
As soon as these words came out, the waiter who had just come over with a smile on his face and was about to show her to her seat froze his smile. He didn't turn his face away, but just nodded lightly: "Then hurry up."
Sang Yu did not look around the restaurant for the customer who requested takeout, even though she remembered the customer's face and clothes and could recognize him at a glance.
She cleared her throat, took a deep breath, and stood at the doorway, shouting into the lobby, "Pearl Drink Delivery Customer No. 001, your pearl milk tea is ready."
The sound was like thunder, attracting the curious gazes of the guests. Almost everyone in the hall looked in her direction.
Soon someone stood up and waved. Sang Yu, who had just finished speaking, didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and walked forward leisurely.
"Guest, please show me your number plate."
The woman in her thirties picked up the wooden sign on the table and handed it to her.
The wooden sign is slightly different from the one used for ordering in the store. The front side still has a serial number composed of Arabic numerals. In addition to the iconic three words "Pearl Drink", the back side also has two additional words - Takeaway.
After verifying that everything was correct, Sang Yu gently placed the two cups of milk tea on the table, smiled and bowed slightly: "Your two cups of pearl milk tea have been delivered. Please enjoy them. Welcome to visit us next time."
The attitude was respectful and polite, and there was nothing wrong with it.
After she left, the woman with a bun sitting opposite chuckled and said, "The service at this sweet shop is quite different from the ones I've seen before. It's quite interesting."
The woman nodded slightly, agreeing with her opinion: "It is indeed interesting and tastes good, sweet but not greasy. Come and try it."
Sang Yu also has certain requirements for the takeaway process.
Once a customer places an order and requests delivery, the person who placed the order is responsible for reminding the customer to keep the tag. When the food is delivered, the customer must use the wooden tag to confirm their identity and collect it.
If the guest accidentally loses the wooden tag, Pearl Drink will still give the drink to the guest, but will also put the guest on the grey list.
If no similar incidents occur within three months, the order will be removed. If a similar incident occurs again within three months, the other party will be directly banned from placing orders.
This is also to prevent someone from impersonating others or maliciously defrauding them of their meal. Although most people who come and go on Qinghuan Street don't lack the money, the saying "it's better to be safe than sorry" still applies.
A step that can be done easily can prevent a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The pearl drink business gradually maintained a relatively stable state, and many people who passed by Qinghuan Street knew that there was such a sweet drink shop.
However, the "Journey to the West" at Zhongjia Teahouse was a completely different spectacle.
Sang Yu has been busy with pearl drinks recently, and doesn't even go to Zhong's Teahouse often. She just asks Manager Liu to send someone to pick them up.
When she finally found some time, she took the latest two chapters of the thread-bound "Journey to the West" and slowly went to Zhong's Teahouse.
Before she even entered the door, she was shocked by the scene before her.
There were several rows of long benches in front of the open door of Zhong's Teahouse, with three people sitting on each bench, all craning their necks to look inside.
“…”What is going on?
For a moment, Sang Yu didn't know whether he should go through these people and go in, or turn back.
She couldn't help but look up at the plaque on the door. It was indeed the Zhong Family Teahouse.
How come the guests of Qinghuan Street, who always care about their reputation, are now sitting at the gate so openly? And not just one or two people, but a group of people.
She had a vague guess in her mind, but she really couldn't believe it. Could a "Journey to the West" really make them so crazy?
It was obviously impossible to get through the main entrance, let alone squeeze in through the crowd. I was afraid that even if I finally squeezed in, I would find that the lobby was also full of people.
Fortunately, most of the shops on Qinghuan Street have back doors. Since Zhongjia Teahouse is so large, it is naturally impossible for it to purchase goods through the front door every day.
Sang Yu walked around and came to the back door. After shouting a few times and giving his name, he was welcomed in.
Before she had taken a few steps inside, Manager Liu, who had heard the report from his servants, came out to greet her.
"Miss Sang, I'm so glad you're here. I've been waiting for these two new chapters to come out today. If you don't write again, I'll send someone to urge you."
"I'm not too late, am I? Besides, don't new chapters usually start after noon? Why are you in such a hurry today?"
Sang Yu was a little confused. Wasn't it usually delivered at this time? In fact, today she came earlier, just a little delayed due to the detour.
"You came in from the back door, so I think you've already seen the scene at the main entrance. Come with me to see the scene in the lobby first."
Manager Liu did not answer her question directly, but led her to the lobby in front.
Sang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and followed. She wanted to see what the Zhong family teahouse looked like now.
