Chapter 66
On the first day of Yueting's self-service summer event, spicy marinated food and yogurt lychee jelly became everyone's favorite...
On the first day of Yueting’s self-service summer event, spicy braised food and yogurt-based lychee jelly were the talk of everyone’s mouth.
The braised food, in particular, has won the hearts of many new customers.
Unfortunately, the portion size is a bit small and it only lasts for three days. New customers will not be able to enjoy it after feeling regretful.
When the old customer heard about it, the word "ridiculous" popped into his mind and he immediately came out to refute the rumor.
"The crispy duck that Madam Xiao made last time was added to the menu after the event ended. It will definitely be the same this time, so don't worry!"
Does this mean that it is not only available during these three days, but can also be eaten every day thereafter?
The new customers suddenly realize, the new customers are satisfied, and then... then the new customers start looking for new customers.
Especially in universities, there has been a wave of enthusiasm.
Of course, in addition to this incident, there is another matter that is particularly worth discussing, which is the matter about the city lord giving Yueting a self-service plaque.
Some people were amazed, wondering if Madam Xiao knew an important figure like the city lord; some people disagreed, thinking that the city lord might have disguised himself and eaten here and found the food delicious; and a small number of gossipers were everywhere.
"I heard that Wei Ke Ju invited the city lord to be their guest yesterday, and a private room was prepared on the third floor, but... "
"result?"
"The city lord didn't go at all!"
It would be fine if he didn't go, but he turned around and gave a plaque to Yueting Self-service Restaurant the next day. How could he not be tempted to think about it?
Almost all old customers know that Wei Ke Ju is the Si family's shop. The second young master came to Yue Ting in person to learn how to cook and brought the recipes over.
Now that’s great, he got slapped in the face!
Although the main problem has not been solved, old customers have already spontaneously boycotted and are happy to see it happen.
"By the way, were there any guests visiting yesterday? How was it?"
"I didn't go, but my younger sister told me that the food was free."
“Is it really free to eat?”
"Yes, after the event, they said it was 99 copper coins per person, and you can take it out, but you have to pay extra..."
Wei Ke Ju was very popular yesterday. All the wealthy and prominent families in the city sent gifts, and the restaurant was indeed crowded with customers.
but……
Why would Xiao Yue care?
The next day, Yueting Buffet had just as many customers as yesterday.
Fortunately, today we have the help of Lu Ran, Sun Wen and the sisters. They already have experience in kitchen work, so it is much easier for them to handle it.
They immediately remembered what Xiao Yue had told them, and she even had time to chat with old customers.
For a moment, Xiao Yue felt truly emotional, and a long-lost joy surged in his heart.
"You're just daydreaming because you have nothing to do?"
When Fang Sanhong came to the kitchen, she saw Xiao Yue staring at one place. She had just finished adding a round of dishes, so she became free.
Xiao Yue looked up and accurately caught the mockery in Fang Sanhong's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had seen through his mood last night.
"Sister Sanhong." Xiao Yue called her and said helplessly, "I will correct it if there is any problem. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Fang Sanhong snorted lightly, walked over, and muttered something, which seemed to be Fu Xunzhou's name.
"What?" Xiao Yue didn't hear clearly and stopped picking vegetables.
Fang Sanhong stood aside, folded her arms, shook her head and sighed, "Nothing, go cook your food."
So Xiao Yue started cutting vegetables, but the hand holding the knife looked at her and then looked at her again while cutting.
"Sister Sanhong, how about you learn to cook from me?"
Fang Sanhong: “?”
Fang Sanhong: "I see you can't sit still, right?"
“…”
Xiao Yue, who was restless, was scolded. When he lowered his head and saw the jade pendant on his neck, he stopped talking completely.
She's going to become a cold person!
After the shop closed, the cold-hearted man hurriedly brought in lunch and started eating, calling her "Sister Sanhong" all the time.
…
The number of people on West Street these days has surpassed that of South Street, which is usually the busiest. Yueting Self-service Restaurant has become a must-go place for everyone.
Today is the last day of the event. Xiao Yue looked at the two long queues and announced two important things.
The first thing is that after today's event is successfully concluded, tomorrow's spicy braised food and yogurt lychee jelly will be officially added to the flavor snack series and cold drink series for everyone to choose from.
As soon as these words were spoken, new and old customers cheered.
“Okay, okay!”
"What about the second thing?"
“Is there a new product?”
Xiao Yue's lips curved up, and he said happily, "Starting tomorrow, Yueting's self-service business hours will be changed from noon to noon to noon!"
This incident was more serious than the previous one. The store was silent for a few seconds, then a heated discussion broke out.
Amidst the discussion, the two sisters Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan held a whiteboard in their hands and placed it at the entrance of the first floor.
Written on it were the new business hours, exactly the same as what Xiao Yue said.
Not only that, the store rules on the whiteboard are more concise and clear, and the additional coins required for unfinished meals are even marked in red font.
After all, there were a lot of people these days, and there was a lot of leftovers, so the money to be paid was not small.
In order to prevent further waste, Xiao Yue made special marks.
Not only is there a new white board at the first floor entrance, but also at the courtyard entrance.
After announcing these two things, Xiao Yue returned to the kitchen, leaving the customers still queuing up to enter the store in shock.
Until Yueting Self-service had fewer people, the incident spread quickly, and the final result was...
"I can finally make it in time for dinner!"
"Ms. Xiao is wonderful!"
"Since the store's opening hours have been extended this time, will we have dinner next time?!"
Xiao Yue heard about this from Su Xiaoxiao. She had just returned from outside and described it vividly.
"I went to buy the apron fabric you asked me to buy, and I saw people talking about it in every corner. Our Yueting Self-service Restaurant has become famous in Liuyun City!"
After Xiao Yue heard what she said, he felt a little moved.
It is impossible not to be happy. The more popular the store becomes, the closer we are to completing our mission.
But obviously, this level is not enough, we need to continue to work harder!
As for the dinner someone mentioned...
Xiao Yue took the cloth bought by Su Xiaoxiao and made new aprons for Lu Ran and the others with an expressionless face.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
*
After dinner, Xiao Yue sent several people from the store away.
Fang Sanhong and Su Xiaoxiao still live together because the former doesn't want her to be alone outside, so living with her provides her with more care.
Lu Ran lives on West Street, which is very close; the sisters live on South Street, which is a little farther away, but it’s not boring for the two sisters to go back together.
As for Sun Wen, she said that she and her sister lived near the school.
Xiao Yue looked at her back and inexplicably thought of Sun Shan who had come to the store before. The two of them had the same surname and their features were a little similar...
[Ding!] The host's fame progress bar has been detected to have changed. The current fame level is rising in fame. Congratulations on the upgrade, please keep up the hard work! 】
[Rewards for upgrading the fame progress bar have been issued: points x23000, random gift package x1, please check! 】
Just as Xiao Yue was thinking, the long-lost voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
As she walked back to the store, she opened the system panel to check.
I saw that the points on the middle panel already had several zeros, and I no longer had to plan everything I spent like in the beginning.
If I exchange ingredients today, I have to save them up tomorrow, and then exchange them for utensils the day after tomorrow when I have saved enough... It’s a headache just thinking about it.
Nowadays, you don’t have to worry about spending your points. You don’t have to worry about spending them at all.
Upgrades are also expected.
Xiao Yue was in a good mood, but not too excited. He glanced at the points and directly clicked on the random gift package, then returned to the room without even looking at it.
As soon as I stepped in, the system voice sounded again.
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the 'Ice Cream Mold Exchange Voucher x1'. You can choose any one of the categories in the mall to exchange and unlock it! 】
Xiao Yue paused, and waited until he sat on the bed before looking at the panel carefully.
Ice cream mold redemption voucher?
It was the first time that Xiao Yue heard that the gift was not received directly but given as a gift package with redemption vouchers.
She clicked on the mall and found this category. When she saw it, she fell silent.
Because there are fifteen pages of molds under this category, and each page has different shapes and colors.
There are common bamboo stick shapes for holding, bowl shapes for eating with a small spoon, and various animal and fruit building shapes... We even showed what the final shape of the ice cream will look like.
Xiao Yue had never seen so many kinds of ice cream before. After reading a few pages, he closed his eyes peacefully.
No wonder they gave a redemption voucher. There are so many of them. How could the system give all of them in this category for free?
Fortunately, if it is exchanged with points, the value is only 1,000... She was also flattered and actually thought it was cheap.
In short, Xiao Yue opened his eyes again and used the redemption voucher to exchange for the most common ice cream mold, the kind that has a flat bamboo stick inserted and can be eaten by just picking it up.
We’ll talk about what happened next. Xiao Yue was already dazzled by what he saw. He turned around to exchange the ingredients for the ice cream, then fell down.
This random gift package is really good. At least it solves the problem of what Xiao Yue wants to do next.
It’s not that she doesn’t know what to do, but there are so many cold drinks to eat in summer, she is confused!
Now, let’s start with the simplest ice cream. There must be at least three flavors. What should I make?
While thinking, Xiao Yue closed his eyes.
——
Night, Si Mansion.
Silence spread in the study. Si Pu stood aside, silently watching his father picking up a pen to write.
"You mean, the number of customers in these three days is more than double that of Shixianglou in half a month?"
After a while, Father Si finally asked.
Si Pu lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, since the opening three days ago, many people from West Street have come to the store."
"What's today's income?" Father Si dipped his pen into ink without turning his head to look at him.
The three-day Weikeju event has ended, and today is the first day of normal revenue.
Si Pu answered without hesitation: "It's 30% more than expected, and twice as much as Shixianglou."
Father Si's hand then paused and he looked at him.
"Father, if nothing unexpected happens, Wei Ke Ju will be able to earn back all the investment in one month." Si Pu's voice was emotionless, but full of confidence.
Father Si stared at him for a long while and laughed in an ambiguous tone: "Well done."
Si Pu loosened his hand on one side, his eyes moved slightly, knowing what was going to happen next second.
Father Si: "Your brother has already established a career and a family. Now that Shixianglou has been handed over to his confidant, it is understandable that the income has decreased. After all, Xiaoying is pregnant, and your brother can't spare time..."
Your brother, your brother.
Si Pu lowered his eyes and suddenly interrupted him: "My marriage to Xiaoxiao will be carried out faithfully. We will have children next year, and you will have grandchildren."
Father Si stopped talking and looked at him: "You know better than me what kind of wild girl Su Xiaoxiao is. Now she is in a rage with Old Master Su, and even ten cows can't pull her back. By the way, I heard that she went to that Yueting Self-service Hotel?"
"Yes." Si Pu replied, "But she is so precious that she can't stay for a few days."
Father Si smiled again, picked up the brush and stopped talking.
“…”
Si Pu left the study, clenching one hand into a fist.
