Chapter 131
The popularity of Yueting Self-service was reflected in the moment when the new restaurant on South Street put up a plaque...
The popularity of Yueting Buffet was reflected in the fact that the moment the new restaurant on South Street put up its signboard, the news spread quickly.
Many customers are wondering whether the store is about to open.
Before they could ask Xiao Yue, explosive news came out from Yueting Zizi the next day.
——Yueting Self-service South Street branch will officially open on August 15th.
"What?!"
“It’s so fast!”
"Wow, then the day after tomorrow will be the fifteenth!"
There was an uproar.
When more people found out, what they saw was the white board that Xiao Yue had posted at the two entrances... no, it should be said that it was a red board.
The red background with yellow characters is eye-catching and festive, and the content above is simple and crude——
[The Yueting Self-service South Street branch has been renovated and will officially open on August 15th. To thank new and old customers for their support, the rotating self-service hot pot will be open for free for one day on that day. Everyone is welcome to come and taste it. 】
There was no one who saw it who wasn't shocked, and the news spread faster than ever before.
Yueting Buffet was packed that day, and after closing time, people flocked to South Street to explore the area.
Su Xiaoxiao and the others saw this scene, and their attitude this time was not "Fortunately we knew about it in advance", but "We are not much better off."
God knows how confused they were when they heard it last night. They were even floating as they walked.
One day free?
I dare not imagine it, I dare not even imagine how many people would come on that day given the reputation of Yueting Buffet. The most important thing is that a delicacy like hot pot cannot be bad!
Those who have eaten the hotpot made by Xiao Yue have deeply experienced this and can only say silently in their hearts: the business of the South Street branch is probably more popular than that of the West Street branch.
However, Xiao, the person involved, did not have time to think about these things for the time being. He put up the festive sign and rushed to South Street.
Jiang Yi, Xiao Nuo and others had been waiting in the backyard of the restaurant. When they saw her coming, they immediately followed her and started working together.
Today we mainly familiarize ourselves with tomorrow's procedures, such as the arrangement of food, the intervals between servings, precautions for serving hot pot soup base, etc.
Even though it is written in the guide, the actual practice is different, so you naturally need to be familiar with it in advance.
Xiao Yue took them through the process from beginning to end as if she was opening a new business, and finally said to them, "As for the things in the queue room, Ah Qin is in charge of that area. You must make sure to check them at all times. If the snacks are empty, replenish them, and put the entertainment items back in place in time..."
The woman whose name was called nodded in response and followed Xiao Yue to the storage room.
When they saw the boxes of entertainment toys, Aqin and the others gasped.
After Xiao Yue gave every detail, most of the day was spent preparing the inventory.
Before that, she took out a small box, which contained twenty-four aprons, all of which had the word "Yueting" and a moon logo embroidered on the chest.
"Why don't you try it?" Xiao Yue looked up at the group of women and mentioned one of them with a smile.
Of course, it was not just her who did this. It was also done by two sisters, Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan. In fact, they will also come to South Street to help officially in the future.
Jiang Yi, Xiao Nuo and others didn't know what she was thinking, and were very surprised by the apron that suddenly appeared.
“So pretty!”
Xiao Nuo took the piece that Xiao Yue handed to her and felt that it was soft to the touch, the embroidery was delicate, and the color was very beautiful.
She clenched her fist silently, and her heart became more determined.
Later in the evening, Fang Sanhong came with a few sisters, and even Xiao Lian came to help in preparation for the opening tomorrow.
After dinner, Xiao Yue let out a long sigh.
Sitting next to her were Fu Xunzhou, Fang Sanhong and others, even Duan Lin and Cheng Min were there.
Fang Sanhong said, "Why are you still so nervous? Everyone will be here tomorrow, it will definitely be a great opening!"
Xiao Yue smiled faintly and said nothing.
She was not nervous at all; she was clearly more excited than anyone else.
But what Fang Sanhong said was right. Tomorrow, except for Su Xiaoxiao, Sun Wen, Lu Ran and the three sisters who were sent over extra, everyone else will come to the new store to help.
I'm afraid that when I get busy, all the surging emotions will be forgotten.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and drank the last sip of wine.
In such an atmosphere, August 15th arrives in the blink of an eye.
South Street is very different early in the morning, with people flowing towards the tall restaurant in the center.
Two quarters of the morning.
Xiao Yue opened the door and came out. As expected, he saw many familiar faces in the front row.
Li Xiong, Zhao Liang, Liu Meng, even Sister Luo, Bai Ting, and the Qian sisters...
"Madam Xiao!"
"Finally the door is open! I was so anxious!"
“What exactly is the rotating self-service hot pot?”
"Never mind. I believe that as long as it comes from Yueting Buffet, it must be delicious!"
A smile appeared in Xiao Yue's eyes. Seeing that everyone in the store was ready for action, she did not delay the process.
"Everyone, please wait a long time. Today, the restaurant will open a rotating buffet hot pot for free from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Anyone who enters the restaurant during this time period can enjoy it! However, if the seats in the restaurant are full, you still need to queue up, and if the leftover food exceeds the specified weight without the soup base, you will also have to pay extra money..."
This is to avoid wasting food, and it has always been the rule of Yueting Buffet.
Xiao Yue raised her hand as she spoke, and as soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out a red rope with force.
“Wow!”
There was a sound of wind, and the red cloth on the plaque above was torn off. The font on it was warm and elegant, and it read:
"Welcome everyone to the 'Yueting Self-service Hotpot' restaurant!" Xiao Yue said loudly, kicking off the opening on August 15th.
Customers poured in at the door, but there was a bit of order and habit influenced by Yueting Self-service.
However, when everyone arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they suddenly stopped when they saw the large round table in the center where dozens of people were gathered with their hands raised.
It is not just a big round table. The center is empty and there are chairs placed in the inner circle. There is also an entrance on the side, which means that this is a special circular table where people can sit inside and outside.
There was a medium-sized pot on each corresponding position on the table. The pot was steaming, and chopsticks, plates and cups were placed next to it.
However, this circular table is in a "convex" shape, with a seemingly suspended wooden board in the middle. There is nothing on it, only a half-finger-high railing on the edge to block something.
It can be seen that this table is used for today's self-service hot pot, but...
"What kind of table is this?"
"Wow, there's enough room for many people inside and outside!"
"Why is there no food? How can we eat this?"
Xiao Yue stepped forward in confusion and began to introduce himself naturally.
"This is the revolving table for the self-service hot pot. It's on the first and second floors. You can choose your favorite seat and sit down. We'll put the ingredients on the table right away!"
Novel things can always make people concentrate and pay full attention. What's more, this is Yueting self-service store. The number of people who come for free is not even as many as those who come for the novelty.
Customers on the first floor found a seat nearby and sat down, while those who didn't have a seat hurried up to the second floor, fearing that they would be late.
Xiao Yue also walked to the entrance of the circular table, looked up at Fang Sanhong who was in charge of the second floor, and nodded at her.
Next, under the curious gazes, Xiao Yue pressed a raised button on the round table.
With a slight "click", the raised wooden board in the middle of the large round table began to rotate, like a dragon winding on the table!
The commotion caused many people to exclaim in surprise, but before they could come to their senses, a group of women in aprons came over.
Each of them was pushing a small cart with plates full of food on it.
One of the women came to the entrance of the round table and stopped. She bent down, picked up a white plate with pork belly, and gently placed it on the rotating wooden board.
Driven by the force of the rotation, the white plate carrying the pork belly moved lightly under everyone's eyes. It turned to the corner of the entrance and exit and then turned back again so that people inside and outside could grab it.
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Yue took a small cart and went to another transfer point, where he began to place the ingredients on plates one by one.
Beef rolls, shrimps, meatballs, chicken wings... After the meat, there are vegetarian dishes, such as tofu skin, baby cabbage, enoki mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, etc.
The variety of ingredients is simply endless!
Zhao Liang came back to his senses with difficulty, looked down at the small hot pot in front of him, and found that it was still a shuangxiang hot pot. He immediately understood how to eat it.
This is the self-help method!
Zhao Liang also discovered that there was a groove on the bottom of the small hot pot to prevent slipping, and there were three buttons on the side facing him.
On the left and right, there are simple and clear labels "add heat" and "reduce heat", and in the middle is "on/off."
Zhao Liang figured it out after studying it, and felt like "I am worthy of being a regular customer of Yueting Self-service Restaurant."
However, after studying it, Zhao Liang suddenly remembered that there was also a revolving table on the second floor, but why didn’t he seem to hear any sound?
Zhao Liang wanted to look up, but he froze as soon as his eyes reached the stairs. He reached out and slapped Liu Meng frantically.
Liu Meng was staring at the turntable like countless people around him, when he was suddenly interrupted. He looked over and made a "tsk" sound, but no sound came out.
Because when following Zhao Liang's line of sight, the first thing he saw was a white plate slowly "flying" up along the outer circle of the stair handrail!
It was only when I took a second look that I could see clearly that there was something at the bottom of the plate that was like the rotating wooden board on the table, carrying plates of food upwards like a conveyor belt.
At the entrance of the stairs are the women who can place as many food ingredients as they want without having to go upstairs...
The two were dumbfounded, and looked along the conveyor belt towards the second floor, where they met the eyes of a group of people who had already disappeared.
They sat at the fence on the second floor, because there were tables, hot pots and turntables on the inside, or in other words, there was a whole big turntable on the inside of the fence surrounding the second floor!
The people on the second floor were confused when they went up, then surprised when they lowered their heads to listen to Xiao Yue's words, and finally watched the food come up from the stairs.
How can I express my shock?
Zhao Liang and Liu Meng's heads were sore from raising their heads, and they were thinking in a daze... they didn't know what to think anymore.
Not only them, many customers also realized it later and the big turntable on the second floor was shocked and started discussing it heatedly.
It was not until the turntable was almost full of ingredients that they discovered that there were not only ingredients that needed to be blanched, but also fresh fruits, drinks of various flavors, steaming ice cream... almost everything edible could be found on it.
In about a quarter of an hour, the first and second floors were fully decorated.
Xiao Yue said apologetically, "There is a switch and a function to increase or decrease the heat at the bottom of the hot pot. There is also a dipping sauce area in the store, so you can mix and match as you like! After all, it's the first day, so I wanted to show it. From tomorrow on, you won't have to wait when you enter the store, and you can eat the rotating hot pot faster!"
He was so candid that not only were everyone so shocked that they didn't feel they had been waiting for long, but even if they watched it again tomorrow, they wouldn't get bored!
