Chapter 158: Business is booming in Beijing
On the opening day, every table of customers who come into the store can enjoy a 20% discount, and each table will be given a plate of watermelon.
If you spend more than 100 taels of silver, you can participate in a lucky wheel draw at the door
There are free dishes, half-price dishes, free meals, gifts, etc. on the turntable. In short, you will not go home empty-handed as long as you spin!
In order to ensure the smooth opening of the restaurant tomorrow, Yunli stayed until the evening and invited all the staff to dinner. They had a meal before the opening.
In the future, we will all work together, and we must know what the food we sell tastes like, so that when we recommend it to customers, we can be more optimistic about introducing the best food to them!
She has always been generous to the people who work for her. She gives her people as much as she wants! Only when they are well fed can they work hard! Only when they are well fed can they stop envying others and work wholeheartedly for her boss!
…
The next morning, Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant officially opened. The ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony had already been held. Fireworks were set off continuously, gongs and drums were beaten at the door, and lion dances were performed to liven up the atmosphere. Although it was daytime and the fireworks could not be seen, the publicity was strong!
The first and second floors of the two-story building were overcrowded with people, and there were no seats. Yun Li had a long row of chairs placed outside the door, with a queue and a number-taking mode, first come first served. The number lined up for 300 tables alone.
Three hundred tables is the number of dishes prepared by the hot pot restaurant today. This is fixed! She plans to serve three hundred tables every day in the future. Once the number is sold out, there will be no more on the same day.
First, it is to keep everyone's enthusiasm, and second, it is for the guys in the store. Catering is hard work, and she doesn't want everyone to work overtime too late and overwork. Silver is endless for her, so there is no need to exploit employees.
Because hot pot is a new way of eating for the people of Yueqi Country, everyone is a little cramped when eating it for the first time, so Yunli specially asked each table to have a waiter to help introduce the dishes to the customers, and provide services such as shabu-shabu meat and hot dishes.
In the largest private room on the second floor, Yunli invited Wei Sisi, Xia Yanzhi, Cherry, Strawberry, and Raspberry.
Watermelon juice and ice cream cake were prepared for them in advance, and one was placed in front of each of them.
Wei Sisi couldn't stop eating, her mouth was full of oil.
"Woo woo~ It's so delicious! I couldn't stop thinking about it after eating it last time I went hunting. I wanted to shamelessly go to Prince Yu's mansion to find you countless times, but in the end I couldn't help it, mainly because I was afraid that Prince Yu would kick me out...
I didn't expect you to do something so great without making any noise and actually opened a hot pot restaurant! That's great, I'll come here every day from now on!"
Xia Yanzhi's face flushed as she ate, "Yunli, how did you make something like this? The food looks fresh, and the taste is spicy and delicious. I want to eat a second bite after just one!"
Yun Li evaded the question casually: "I just have nothing better to do than to tinker with food and research it. Maybe I have a talent for it! Haha..."
At this time, Wei Sisi picked up the wine glass, looked at Yunli and said: "Yunli, I wish you a prosperous birthday, and may you make more and more money! Mankouxiang will definitely be popular throughout the capital!"
"Haha~ Thank you! I'm so lucky for your words!"
Xia Yanzhi toasted Yunli at night, "Yunli, I wish you and His Royal Highness the Prince a happy and fulfilling life! May Mankouxiang's business continue to flourish!"
"Blessings received! Thank you!"
Then Cherry and Strawberry also picked up their glasses and prepared to toast Yunli, but Yunli quickly stopped them.
"You're one of us! Let's skip this step! I won't say any polite words!"
Seeing this, Wei Sisi asked, "What? Aren't we considered family?"
"Hehe, that's fair, but not as close as them. They live with me in the palace and I see them every day!"
Wei Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk..."
The few of them were eating happily. Yun Li picked up the wine glass and went to the next room. Next door was a table that he had asked Helian Chi to arrange for the Shadow Guards and the two stewards of the palace. During this period, the Shadow Guards and the stewards had made a lot of efforts, whether it was decoration or opening, they were busy running around, which made her worry less. It was reasonable for her, as a princess, to have another glass of wine.
…
Yueqi Country, the news that Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant opened and was doing a booming business spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
On this day, there was almost no business at Xiangyunlou, which was close to the restaurant. Customers who came to eat at Xiangyunlou were attracted by the sound of gongs and drums, and came to have a look out of curiosity. Seeing this kind of food they had never eaten or seen before, they stopped in their tracks. The spicy and fresh aroma of the hot pot in the restaurant wafted out, constantly attracting their taste buds, making them want to try it.
All customers who have eaten Mankouxiang Hotpot come in with anticipation and curiosity, and leave with a smile on their faces, praising the taste and service of Mankouxiang.
For a time, everyone's favorability towards Princess Mingxi reached its peak.
Yes, Yun Li from Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant did not hide her identity on purpose. She wanted to blatantly grab the business of Prince Xiangyunlou. She wanted to see how Yun Wei and the prince would deal with her.
On the day Mankouxiang opened, news of Xiangyunlou's poor business reached the prince's ears.
When the prince learned about this, he was furious and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Damn it! Who allowed her to open a shop across from my Xiangyun Building? She's clearly trying to steal my business!"
No wonder she ate hot pot in the tent when we were hunting. She didn't tell me when I asked her. I didn't expect her to be secretly planning to open a shop so soon! Without Helian Chi's help, could she open a shop in this location? "
A flatterer beside the prince said:
"Your Highness, the hot pot restaurant opened by Princess Mingxi seems to have food that we haven't seen in Yueqi Kingdom yet! I have never seen it not only in Yueqi Kingdom, but also in other countries. I heard that the restaurant has a rich variety of food and customers are full of praise!
But I still think that before long, everyone will get tired of it and the business will go down. It can't be compared with our Xiangyunlou, so Your Highness, don't worry!"
"Nonsense! I've eaten the food called hot pot before, and to be honest, it tastes really good. I still can't forget it when I think about it now! Princess Mingxi said that hot pot is a food from Lanxi Country, and it's normal that it's not available in other places!
Don't take it lightly. Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle! Since she's trying to steal my business, she's well prepared! I'll fight her to the bitter end! I'm going to show her who's in charge in the capital!
"You must immediately send someone to her hot pot restaurant and gather all the information about how the hot pot is made, as well as where her ingredients come from! I'll give you five days! Investigate thoroughly at all costs. If you can't find out, don't come back!"
"Yes... yes! I obey your command!"
