The seller hesitated for a moment, and finally gave in: "Okay, seeing that you really want it, I'll lower the price a little more."
After some bargaining, the two sides finally agreed on a price.
Zhao Gang signed a contract with the seller and officially bought the store.
After buying the store, Zhao began to prepare for the renovation in full swing.
We searched everywhere for skilled craftsmen, who visited our homes in person and invited us to participate in the decoration of the store.
"Master, we want to open hot pot restaurants all over the country. You have great skills. If you can help us decorate, it will be a great honor for you when the signboard is well-known!"
At Zhao Gang's sincere invitation, many famous craftsmen joined the decoration team.
The craftsmen began to renovate the store.
Zhao Gang took the drawings given by Bai Linglong and carefully explained every detail to the craftsmen.
"The hot pot table must be arranged neatly. The round hole in the middle is used to place the hot pot, and the size must be accurate.
The walls should be painted in warm colors, and some murals showing delicious food and a lively atmosphere should be hung;
And the signboard should be eye-catching and visible from a distance. ”
During the renovation period, we encountered many problems.
First, there was a delay in the supply of materials. The high-quality wood that was originally promised has not arrived yet.
Zhao Gang was extremely worried and rushed to the timber merchant in person and said sternly, "What's wrong with you?
If this material is not available again and the construction period is delayed, you will have to bear all the responsibility! ”
The timber merchant quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, there was an accident on the way. We will definitely deliver the timber as soon as possible."
Under Zhao Gang's urging, the wood was finally delivered on time.
Then, we encountered the problem of insufficient manpower.
Some craftsmen left temporarily because of family matters.
Zhao Gang had to look everywhere for new craftsmen and posted notices in the market, promising generous remuneration, which attracted some craftsmen to come and help.
After more than a month of hard work, the store was finally renovated.
A brand new sign was hung high, with the words "Linglong Hotpot Jiangcheng Branch" written in large letters.
Inside the store, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the copper pots on the hot pot table are polished to a shine.
There are exquisite murals hanging on the walls, showing people sitting together eating hot pot with happy smiles on their faces.
After the decoration was completed, we began to prepare for the opening.
Zhao Gang and Su Yu were busy promoting the event in the city.
They posted flyers at markets, inns, docks and other places to introduce the characteristics of the hot pot restaurant.
"Dear guests, our Linglong hotpot has many flavors, including spicy, clear soup, and tomato. The ingredients are fresh, the price is reasonable, and we have a big sale for the opening!"
Su Yu enthusiastically introduced it to passers-by.
They also set up a stage in front of the store and invited a local opera troupe to perform, attracting many people to watch.
"This hot pot restaurant looks really good, I must go try it when it opens!"
A passerby looked at the flyer and said excitedly.
At the same time, we started recruiting young people.
Zhao Gang and Su Yu set up a table in front of the store to interview applicants.
"Have you ever been a shop assistant before?" Zhao Gang asked a young man.
The young man nodded quickly: "I have done it before. I worked as a shop assistant in another store for two years. I am very skilled and I guarantee that I can serve customers well!"
Su Yu then asked: "Then do you know how to greet guests and serve food?"
The young man said confidently: “Of course I know!
Guests should be warmly welcomed when they enter, dishes should be introduced patiently when they are ordered, and dishes should be served quickly and steadily. ”
Zhao Gang and Su Yu looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, you can come to work tomorrow."
After several days of screening, we recruited a group of smart and capable children.
After simple training, these young people are familiar with the dishes and service procedures in the store, and are waiting to open for business.
Finally, the opening day arrived.
The entrance of the Jiangcheng branch was decorated with lights and firecrackers were set off.
The store entrance was crowded with people, all attracted by the lively atmosphere.
Zhao Gang stood at the door, welcoming the guests.
“Welcome to Linglong Hotpot!”
The children shouted in unison.
When people walk into the store, they are infected by the decoration and lively atmosphere.
“This store is so beautifully decorated!”
one guest exclaimed.
"Yeah, this hot pot must taste great!"
Another guest echoed.
Soon, the store was full. The aroma of hot pot filled the entire store. People ate hot pot and chatted, with laughter and joy all the time.
“This spicy hot pot is so delicious!
Very spicy! ”
One guest's face turned red after eating and he praised the dish highly.
"This tomato soup base is delicious, sour and sweet, very appetizing!"
A lady said with a smile.
Looking at the lively scene in the store, Zhao Gang's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
We know that this is just the beginning. There will be more branches waiting to be opened in the future, and Bai Linglong's business territory will continue to expand with our efforts.
At the same time, Wang Meng in Qingyan Mountain was not idle.
Every morning, the selected little beggars would be woken up to start the day's training.
"Come on, everyone! If you want to be successful, you have to endure hardships!"
Wang Meng shouted loudly.
Although the little beggars were young, they were very motivated and followed Wang Meng to seriously learn various martial arts moves and lurking techniques.
"Master, is this action correct?" asked a little boy.
Wang Meng walked over and corrected her posture: "That's right, bend your waist a little more, and move quickly, accurately, and fiercely!"
During breaks, Wang Meng would tell the little beggars stories about the underworld, so that they could understand the dangers and rules of the underworld.
"You are all the same. To become a secret guard, remember that loyalty and caution are the most important!"
As the days passed, the little beggars made rapid progress under Wang Meng's strict training.
Their martial arts became more and more powerful, and they became more and more proficient in lurking and reconnaissance techniques.
Wang Meng looked at them, his heart filled with relief: "I will definitely complete the task assigned by you!
These children will be our right-hand men in the future! ”
