Chapter 183 Opening
On the opening day, Qin Yunie got up early on purpose. Even though she had started promoting the business long in advance, she was still a little nervous, wondering how the business would go on the first day of opening.
She prepared a lot of ingredients today, and also made a lot of different kinds of pastries as gifts.
Because many ghosts liked the cakes she made, Qin Yunie specially added a few delicious cakes to the menu and planned to set up a display cabinet to sell them separately outside.
In this way, Aunt Wang and the others would not lose their jobs just because she stopped selling lunch boxes. She only needed to teach them how to make the steamed cakes, and then she could take the cakes to the underworld to sell every day, which would also increase revenue.
When Qin Yunie arrived at the restaurant, the chef and Lin Sui were already waiting outside the door.
Seeing her coming, they all smiled and said in unison: "Boss Qin, I wish you a prosperous business! May your wealth and fortune flow in!"
After that, they all applauded.
Qin Yunie's originally anxious heart suddenly became less anxious after hearing their commotion. He smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."
Then he handed over the cakes he brought for them and said, "I'll trouble you all in the future."
Li Zihan took the gift box of pastries, smiled brightly and said loudly: "It is our honor to work with Boss Qin!"
Lin Sui also said: "Yes! It is our honor! If it weren't for Boss Qin, I wouldn't be living so well now."
After opening the door, everyone worked together to put the things Qin Yunie brought in order. The chef changed into his uniform and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, while Lin Sui and the others wiped all the tables and chairs.
Just as we finished cleaning up, ghosts started to appear outside one after another, but they were all outside and did not come into the store.
At this moment, the ghosts outside suddenly became agitated.
When Qin Yunie and his companions went out to take a look, they found that there was a lion dance in the lead, followed by two rows of ghosts carrying flower baskets. They also hung a banner with the words "Congratulations to Boss Qin on his grand opening and a prosperous business" written on it. They walked towards Qin Yunie's store with joy.
Qin Yunie then discovered that the person who appeared when the lion dancer lifted up the lion head was actually Uncle Qian.
Qian Da was holding a banner.
The familiar sound of lion dance drums resounded throughout Central Street. The sound of the lion dance in front of the hotel attracted all the surrounding ghosts.
While the lion dance was going on, the other ghosts arranged the flower baskets.
When the lion dance ended, Qian Da made a gesture, and all the ghosts said in unison: "Congratulations to Mr. Qin on his grand opening! May your business flourish! May the money roll in!"
Qin Yunie hurriedly walked over and called out with a smile, "Uncle Qian, Second Uncle Qian."
Qian Er took off the lion's head, came to Qin Yunie, and said with Qian Da, "Boss Qin, I wish you many customers, abundant financial resources, and prosperous business!"
Qin Yunie smiled and said, "Thank you, uncles. Please come in. Lin Sui, take Uncle Qian and the others to the private room on the second floor."
Lin Sui, wearing the shop uniform specially made by Qin Yunie, greeted them with a smile and said, "Please go upstairs, my two guests."
Uncle Qian took off his lion dance clothes, but before he entered the store, Xiao Nie arrived, followed by several ghosts carrying flower baskets.
Xiao Nie had just heard the sound of the lion dance, and hurried over. Just in time to see them getting ready to go in, he said with a smile, "It looks like I'm a step late! I thought I would be the first one, but I didn't expect Boss Qian to be there earlier."
Then he said to Qin Yunie: "Boss Qin, good luck with your opening! May your business be booming!"
Qin Yunie greeted him with a smile, "Thank you, please come in."
Qian Da also came over and said with a smile: "It's not too late at all. It's just right for us to go in together."
The next ones to arrive were the ghosts in the group. They had agreed in advance to come together, and they came early on purpose because they were afraid that there would be no seats if they arrived late.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately occupied a small half of the space downstairs.
After the ghosts in the store sat down, they began to study the menu.
The ghost who took the menu first said, "This price is not bad. It's much cheaper than expected."
Another ghost took a look and said, "After all, Boss Qin only sells a box lunch for 12 ghost coins, and other things are also slightly cheaper than the normal price in the underworld."
"I just calculated that even if we order five or six dishes, it would only cost less than two hundred ghost coins, and they are all good dishes. This price is really affordable."
"But does anyone know what the special dish written below is? It costs 1,000 to 5,000 ghost coins."
"Is it a special order that's not on the menu? It's similar to what Boss Qin did with private dining before."
Soon after, Xie Bian, Fan Wujiu, Ox-Head and Horse-Face also arrived, but they did not come empty-handed, they all held gifts in their hands.
Fan Wujiu handed the things in his hand to Qin Yunie, and at the same time took a look at Qin Yunie's store, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin's business is quite good."
"This is all thanks to everyone's support. Brother Xie, Brother Fan, please come in. Xiao Yu will bring the Seventh Master, the Eighth Master, and the four ghost officials, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Ghost, to the private room on the second floor." After Qin Yunie finished speaking, he shouted inside.
Qin Yunie was very busy here, and the ghosts who were watching the fun outside saw Xie Bian and the others coming to show their support, and they started talking about it.
"Who on earth is the owner of this restaurant? Even the Seventh Master, Eighth Master, Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Master have come to support him."
"You haven't tried her boxed lunches? Her boxed lunches are very famous. I didn't expect that they have opened a restaurant in such a short time."
"Boss Qin's cooking skills are really good. If I didn't have so much paper money, I would have gone to have a meal. Just smelling it is so delicious!"
"It smells so good! This meal must cost a lot of money, right?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Qin Yunie came out. She smiled and said, "Today is the opening of the First Restaurant. Thank you all for coming today. Today, the store will offer a 50% discount on all purchases! In addition, we will give away a gift box of the store's special pastries. Everyone is welcome to come in and taste them."
Qin Yunie had just finished speaking when he heard a familiar voice, "Xiao Yunie, congratulations on the opening of your first restaurant! Am I not too late?"
She looked up and saw two rows of ghosts carrying red spider lilies behind Meng Po. Meng Po was standing in front of the bright red red spider lilies in a clean and neat red dress. Her fair skin was almost translucent and glowing. Qin Yunie's eyes lit up when she saw it, "Sister Meng! You're here!"
Meng Po conjured up a bunch of gifts, stuffed the small ones into Qin Yunie's arms, and the big ones at his feet, "Here, your opening gift, let them help you carry it."
Then she pointed to the long row of red spider lilies behind her and said, "I think these red spider lilies are pretty, so I brought some here for you. See if you like them. If not, throw them away. If you like them, keep them. I used a special method to preserve them for a long time."
