Chapter 177
Everyone who came to the new store looked it up and down and praised the decoration, saying it didn't look like a small restaurant at all.
The girls touched the green plants dotted in the corner and said happily: "We have also planted flowers and plants, so we can have a bowl of porridge and feel a little bit rich."
The uncles and aunts seemed much more pragmatic and scrambled to sit under the ceiling fan.
"Old Li! Have you bought your tickets? If you have, come here! I've picked out my seat."
"Here we come! Hey, Old Ji, you picked a great spot! The breeze is blowing, it's so cool!"
"Of course! What kind of taste do I have? I can be like those young people, only interested in looking at the flowers and grass in the corner!"
Reporter Huang received a special free coupon from Su Miao, which meant that he could order anything he wanted in the restaurant and the restaurant would treat him.
He had heard before that Su Ji Food Shop first became famous by serving self-service porridge, so he ordered a bowl of self-service white porridge, and some of the signature Laoyou pork offal and braised food.
Don’t eat the food when it’s served. Arrange it at the right angle and disinfect it with a camera first.
After taking a picture, he savored the food carefully and chatted with the diners next to him while eating.
"Old comrade, do you often come to this restaurant to eat?"
Old Man Wang said, "Yes! We come every two days. Sometimes the weather is too hot or too cold, and my wife doesn't want to cook, so we come here to eat as soon as we get home!"
"Then you really are a regular customer. It seems this shop suits your taste very well!"
"Yes! The food here is delicious and affordable! They also eat in the restaurant themselves, so it's very hygienic!"
Old Lady Wang pointed at Su Miao, who was redeeming prizes for customers outside, and said:
"Did you see that little girl? Our famous Wenquxing! This year's top scorer in Yongcheng's high school entrance exam! What do you think this proves?"
"Prove what?"
"Oh! You are such a fool! This proves that the food in this house can only feed people!
I told you that before, it was mostly people from our neighborhood who came, but now many parents of students are also rushing to eat! Fortunately, they can take away the food, so we can take it home and eat it if we live nearby.
"Oh! So that's how it is!"
Reporter Huang turned around and asked another diner:
"Comrade, it's been almost two years since the announcement of the cancellation of food coupons. What changes have you seen in your production and life in the past two years?"
…
For the store’s anniversary celebration, we prepared twice as much dishes as usual. Due to the enthusiastic response of diners, all the dishes were sold out by 5 pm before dinner time.
After seeing off the last wave of customers, everyone worked together to clean up the store. Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu prepared a large table of delicious dishes to reward everyone who had worked hard all day.
From that day on, they paid special attention to the Nanning Daily, reading the newspaper from beginning to end every day to see if there was any trace of their own store.
Finally, a week later, the people's livelihood section finally started a special report titled "Reform and opening up have brought earth-shaking changes to people's lives."
Due to limited space, the report was divided into seven sections and serialized for one week.
Section 1: From basic survival to quality improvement
Section 2: From filling your stomach to enjoying delicious food
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, and this old saying has a new interpretation in the open spring.
In recent years, with the steady improvement of productivity, people's consumption concepts have also undergone profound changes.
Urban residents' demand for "food" has evolved from holding a clay bowl to fill their stomachs to enjoying delicious food on a white porcelain plate.
Food has become more about color, aroma and taste, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a balance of coarse and fine ingredients. Residents' consumption capacity and willingness have also increased to a new level with the growth of their income.
Restaurants and hotels keep popping up on the streets. The emergence of these businesses has filled the long-standing gap in food consumption for residents and satisfied people's desire for "delicious food".
As income increases year by year, while residents are able to eat well, the proportion of food expenses in their income decreases year by year. The decline in the Engel coefficient means that our people will gradually get rid of poverty and move towards prosperity!
Section 3: From one piece of clothing to avoid the body to multiple pieces to pursue beauty
…
The photo of Su Ji Food Shop appeared in the report of the second section, but in the end reporter Huang did not choose the photo taken from the "best photography position".
Instead, he chose a photo facing the main entrance of Su Ji, which he took by standing on a bench borrowed from the convenience store.
At this time, Su Yuanzheng lit the firecrackers, red paper flew everywhere, and everyone covered their ears and turned sideways, but they kept smiling on their faces. No one in this photo noticed the existence of the camera, and everyone's expression was a true expression of their feelings.
Such unintentional snapshots seem more lively.
The report included three photos of different scenes, one of Su Ji’s store anniversary, one of a vegetable market, and one of a company cafeteria, but did not mention the name of the specific store.
However, because the shooting angle is straight, the big sign of Su Ji Food Shop is clearly visible in the photo, and anyone who wants to know more can find out by asking.
This was simply a big advertisement in the first official media. With the distribution and spread of the newspaper, more and more people learned about Su Ji Food Shop. People developed a strong interest in this small shop and came to taste the food.
Su Ji Food Store's business became extremely popular, with customers coming in an endless stream.
As the store expanded and the number of diners dining at the same time increased, the pressure on the kitchen to prepare food also increased. After discussion, Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao decided to carry out a new round of personnel adjustments.
The three girls who came to help during the store anniversary performed very well. They were not only diligent and smart, but also had a good image.
They wanted to hire these three girls as waiters in the store. However, the family of one of the girls urged her to go home for a blind date and get married, so in the end only two were able to get the job.
They are then mainly responsible for customer service, collecting bowls and chopsticks, and store hygiene.
The job changes for other employees were relatively small. Su Hui and Jiang Fengyi were transferred to the new kitchen to cook porridge to increase the speed of serving food.
This was planned before the store expansion. After a trial run during the store anniversary, the effect was good. It can meet customer needs more efficiently and reduce waiting time.
Through this personnel adjustment, Su Ji Food Store has been able to better cope with the growing business volume, improve service quality and efficiency, and provide customers with a better dining experience.
To their surprise, at the same time as the report came out, they received more than a dozen photos from reporter Huang, all of which were taken on the store anniversary day.
There were lively game scenes, applauded lion dance performances, steaming hot and delicious meals, and diners with smiling faces and thumbs-up...
The photos were thoughtfully laminated. Su Miao bought a large wooden photo frame, put all the photos in it, and nailed it firmly to the wall so that every diner could see it.
These photos have also become a permanent memory of Su Ji Food Shop. During the 40th anniversary of the store, they and the rotating president Su Miao were on the hot search list.
