Chapter 374 Shanhai Tower
Qintai Street in Kuizhou City has become bustling recently.
It is said that two new shops have opened on the street, diagonally opposite each other, one is a breakfast shop and the other is Shanhailou, both selling food.
The breakfast shop was run by a young couple with a baby who was less than one year old. The shop was packed on the first day of opening, attracting most of the people in Kuizhou City to come for breakfast.
The person who runs Shanhailou is a little girl who is barely a head taller than the table.
The girl had red lips and white teeth, and was fair and cute. She often wore a pink dress and was followed by a majestic white dog.
Unlike the newly opened Yunji breakfast shop diagonally across the street, Shanhailou was deserted on its first day of opening, with not a single customer.
After all, a five-year-old kid opening a restaurant, isn’t that a joke?
Everyone thought that it must be the master and mistress of a wealthy family who bought a restaurant just for fun to please their daughter.
Therefore, on the first day of opening, Baoya's Shanhailou, which had a new plaque hanging on it, had no other customers except for a number of curious people who came in to take a look in the morning.
Moreover, the prices of dishes at Shanhailou are slightly higher than those at ordinary restaurants. A customer who wanted to order dishes swallowed his words when he saw the prices.
That night, Baoya hugged the chubby Gu Wang and sat in her own little room on the third floor, with a bitter face and sighing.
My parents' breakfast shop was very popular, but she didn't have a single customer.
Baoya held her rosy little cheeks and suddenly missed the simple and warm-hearted people from her hometown of Ping'an Town.
At that time, no one thought she was incompetent just because she was young. They knew that the snacks in the shop were made by her mother, and they kept praising her for her good craftsmanship.
Why do people in Kuizhou City all judge others by their appearance?
As for the price of dishes at Shanhailou, she had no choice.
Although Grandpa Yin Qiu bought the person for her, everything else was her responsibility. She had to pay monthly wages to the twenty servants, plus Uncle Chang.
She found that if she continued to charge the same price as before in Ping'an Town, the money she earned might not be enough to buy daily ingredients for the restaurant, as well as the food expenses for twenty servants, Uncle Chang, herself and the lonely king, not to mention the monthly salary.
Knock knock, someone knocked on her door.
"Young boss, are you asleep?" A somewhat low male voice sounded outside.
"Not yet." Baoya stretched, rubbed Guwang's head, and sent it to open the door.
The lonely king went there happily and pushed the door open with his long, flat wolf mouth.
A middle-aged man wearing a brown robe and a black cloth crown walked in.
It was the man who was used to calling people "boss" and "little boss" that Rong Bing brought them to meet on the day he bought the house.
The middle-aged man's name was Chang Li. He was of medium build and looked haggard, perhaps because of his previous bad business.
He entered the house, bowed to Baoya and said, "Young Boss, how about I go out to the street and bring back some customers tomorrow?"
This building originally belonged to Chang Li. He used to be in the jewelry business, but unfortunately he was not careful enough and was cheated by someone. He had to sell the building to pay off his debts.
Just then, he met Rong Bing, who was anxious to look at a shop. After the two of them discussed it, Chang Li sold the building to Rong Bing at a low price of five hundred taels, on the condition that he could stay there and do odd jobs to earn a living.
After all, he has lived here for decades, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings for it.
Moreover, Rong Bing's name was known to everyone in Kuizhou City. He originally thought that the old Pavilion Master Rong was planning to set up a branch store in Kuizhou City, and the small building could be well managed and utilized, so he was naturally very happy.
Unexpectedly, the old man took the house deed and the land deed and gave them to the little baby in front of him who still had the smell of milk.
Chang Li complained in his heart, but the matter was settled, and he now just wanted to help this little girl run the restaurant.
Otherwise, if this building were to be sold again, there might not be a buyer as easy to talk to as Rong Bing, and he would definitely move out.
"Uncle Chang, no need." Baoya frowned and rejected his suggestion.
"What if tomorrow is still the same as today..." Chang Li looked embarrassed.
Baoya tapped her cheeks rhythmically with her short little fingers.
She felt that it was impossible to retain customers who were forced to come, and that the diners had to be interested and eager to come.
In this way, as long as she can capture the stomachs of these diners, these diners will spread the word, and the reputation of Shanhailou will quickly rise.
"Well, please ask Uncle Chang to help me post a notice tomorrow morning." Bao Ya said.
She remembered that she had asked Nan Xuan about running the shop before. What if the shop business was slow and failed to attract customers?
Nan Xuan said at the time: "Then we should seize the customers' curiosity, desire to see the excitement, and desire to get a bargain, and find a way to attract them." Because only by attracting people into the shop can we move on to the next step and retain them.
She thought at the time that although this method was good, she would not need it.
Because in Ping'an Town, everyone knows that her breakfast and snacks are delicious, and that she has extraordinary cooking skills despite her young age, so her shop is crowded every day.
But I didn't expect that I would have to use it now in Kuizhou City where I am unfamiliar with the place.
"Post a notice?"
Uncle Chang was still confused, but seeing that Baoya was so sleepy that she yawned, he stopped disturbing her, helped her close the door and left.
As for posting notices, he had used this method when he first opened the jewelry store. It was nothing more than that the first dozen or dozens of customers who arrived could receive bracelets, earrings, etc. as gifts from the store. It was just a small trick.
However, it is not bad that a five-year-old kid can think of this.
He shook his head and went back to his room, but he was thinking in his heart that if this method didn't work, he would swallow his pride and go find the old customers and a few partners who used to come to his jewelry store.
Alas, after his business collapsed, those old customers and partners all avoided him like the plague. I don’t know if this will work.
As soon as he left, Baoya rubbed her grape-like eyes and immediately became alert.
Grind the ink, pick up the pen, spread out the white paper, and soon a notice with beautiful handwriting was written.
The next day, Chang Li was stunned when he saw the content of the notice.
The general meaning of the notice was: This restaurant has just opened, and in order to attract diners with similar interests, the owner has organized a special event. At 5 p.m. in the evening, the owner will personally cook a dish, and this dish will only be given to the first three people who arrive for free.
In fact, if this notice were placed in an ordinary restaurant, it would probably not be very attractive.
But it’s different in their Shanhai Tower. The people in Kuizhou City haven’t forgotten that the person who opened Shanhai Tower was a five-year-old kid.
It is rare to see a five-year-old kid cooking.
