Since many things didn't need to be prepared again, the time was set for two days later.
New menus, new restaurant decor, and new promotions don't need to be customized anymore.
However, Liu Yiyi's exclamation upon seeing the restaurant was quite loud.
"Wow! Weidong, didn't you say your sister only runs a small restaurant? Is this really just called a small restaurant?"
The restaurant had ten large round tables, some small square tables that were hard to see, and several private rooms.
With this size, it shouldn't be called a small restaurant, right?
Lin Weidong scratched his head sheepishly and said, "That's just how I call you, I'm used to it!"
After that, they began preparations to reopen the restaurant in a flurry of activity, but no one came in to inquire about it during that time.
Many people witnessed what happened last time, and it had a significant impact.
Everything was ready the day before the opening, and we were just waiting for the grand opening the next day.
Lin Qingyu sat in the hall, not doing any work, but mainly supervising.
So when someone pushed the door open, she saw them immediately.
"Hello sir, we're not open for business yet. How can I help you?"
The newcomer was a middle-aged man wearing a thick gold chain and carrying a briefcase in one hand.
"Hey girl, I heard you're having a grand opening event tomorrow?"
Lin Qingyu immediately stood up from the chair; her pregnant belly was still quite noticeable.
The man quickly waved his hand: "Young lady, you can talk while sitting down, no need to stand up. Hey! You little girl over there, come here for a second!"
This man was quite particular; he called Zhou Jiahui over.
Lin Qingyu sat there, listening to Zhou Jiahui introduce the activities to her older brother, and she would add anything that needed to be added.
After listening, the elder brother remained expressionless, and Lin Qingyu assumed he was about to turn and leave.
The next second, the older brother pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket.
"Hey girl, I'm treating some guests to dinner tomorrow. I need your biggest and best private room, the ambiance has to be nice and quiet!"
"Bring me the most expensive food and drinks!"
After hearing his brother's instructions, Zhou Jiahui was stunned, especially when she saw the money on the table.
The older brother smiled as he watched Zhou Jiahui's stunned expression, and Lin Qingyu quickly pulled her aside.
"Cough cough!"
"Oh, okay, brother, let me show you the private room and introduce you to our dishes while I'm at it!"
Zhou Jiahui's eyes practically lit up with excitement as she led her older brother around with a beaming smile.
So, the day before the opening, I received a pretty big order?
Lin Qingyu was quite satisfied. As long as there was business, she was confident that people would come back a second or third time.
In the end, the older brother was quite satisfied, but Lin Qingyu did not accept the deposit and told him to come over at the appointed time the next day.
"Your older sister is alright, not a bad person! And this little girl is quite interesting too! Hahaha!"
"My brother left with a smile," Zhou Jiahui said anxiously, pulling Lin Qingyu along.
"Oh dear, boss lady, why did you really refund them? What if they don't come tomorrow? Wouldn't all the food we prepared have been for nothing?"
Lin Qingyu gently patted her hand, "It's okay, if that's really the case, we can just eat the food, right?"
Zhou Jiahui was so anxious she was almost in tears. So much cash! So much pure white cash!
However, the next day, Zhou Jiahui was the one who was smiling the most.
Because her older brother specifically asked her to go in and provide service, and not for anyone else to disturb her.
After the first firecracker went off outside, the opening ceremony began.
The eldest brother's table was the first table of customers in the restaurant; they had arrived very early.
The man looked quite like an official, so Lin Qingyu guessed that he probably really was.
I don't know what they're talking about, coming over for breakfast so early in the morning.
However, these were not her concerns. The outside became lively again as Lin Weidong's classmates arrived.
"Wishing you a prosperous business opening, sister!"
"I wish you booming business and boundless good fortune!"
"May your business flourish, your restaurant be packed with customers, and your profits keep increasing!"
...
One by one, vibrant college students came to send their blessings to Lin Qingyu.
They even ordered a flower basket with a long, flowing inscription:
All students of the Class of 1977, School of Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, wish Sister Qingyu a grand opening of her Jade Restaurant!
This is truly unprecedented!
Lin Qingyu greeted several lively students with a smile. Lin Weidong was also present, and he seemed quite embarrassed.
Lin Qingyu waived the bill for this table, not taking any money from them, and treated them to a meal.
Before long, the restaurant was full, and the waiters were too busy to keep up. Lin Qingyu didn't dare to help herself.
Upon seeing this, Lin Weidong stopped eating, put down his chopsticks, and started helping Lin Qingyu with her work.
"Hey Weidong, go keep your classmate company! You don't need to help out at the shop!"
Seeing that a group of guests were getting up to leave, Lin Weidong prepared to go and clean up. He turned to Lin Qingyu and said...
"It's okay, I'm so busy today, you absolutely mustn't come along to do the work!"
After saying that, she immediately started clearing away the dishes and got busy.
Perhaps it was influenced by their classmates! Back in the village, the most common thing they heard was that some women were still working in the fields even when they were about to give birth.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyu has never heard anyone around her say such things so far.
It's harmless, but it's still annoying.
In her opinion, if her wife is about to give birth and still has to work, doesn't that mean the man is incompetent?
Watching Lin Weidong's back as he worked, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but think of these things. She shook her head and continued to do what she could.
After busying herself for a while, Lin Qingyu decided to check on the situation in the private room.
When she looked up, she saw Liu Yiyi and Lin Weidong together, clearing the table together.
"Hey Weidong, why are you making your classmates do the work? You guys should go and rest! There aren't many people left now!"
Lin Qingyu walked over and tried to take the rag from Liu Yiyi's hand, but Liu Yiyi smiled and dodged, saying directly.
"Sister Qingyu, it's nothing. I felt embarrassed to sit there and eat because your shop is so busy!"
Lin Weidong couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
He added, "Yiyi has always enjoyed working. She can't sit still, so she just wipes the table. It's no big deal!"
Lin Qingyu tapped his head, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.
"How can you talk like that? They're guests, so why should we make them do the work?"
Lin Weidong smiled sheepishly and took the rag from Liu Yiyi's hand. "Yiyi, go sit down! This chef cooks really delicious food!"
She then reluctantly left and returned to the table where the students were sitting.
Lin Qingyu was about to say something when she suddenly saw the people from the private room come out, presumably having finished their business and leaving.
She quickly went over to see the person off, leaving Lin Weidong with only a disdainful look.
