Chapter 521
The next day was the last day before the opening, and the focus was on promoting the new store.
Early in the morning, Su Yuanzheng, Su Miao and all the employees in the store went out, holding carefully made flyers, and started busying themselves in the streets and alleys around the store.
Everyone dispersed and enthusiastically handed out flyers to everyone they met, introducing the news of Su Ji's upcoming opening and the special features of the restaurant's dishes.
If someone waves their hands and ignores them, they won't bother to argue with them. But if they meet someone who is interested, they will give them detailed directions to the store and explain the store's opening promotions, hoping to attract more people to come and try their food.
Finally, the opening day arrived.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the lion dance team members were already ready at the door of the store. They were dressed in bright performance costumes and looked full of energy.
Master Zheng, the leader of the lion dance team, said to Su Yuanzheng, "Boss Su, isn't the auspicious time almost here? How about we dance a bit first to attract some attention from the surrounding area? We're sure to get more customers when we officially open!"
Su Yuanzheng nodded quickly: "Okay! Then it depends on you masters!"
"Boom boom boom! Clang clang clang!"
As the passionate sound of gongs and drums sounded, the lions began to dance, and the lively sound quickly attracted many people.
They sometimes jumped and sometimes fluttered, and their flexible movements drew cheers from the surrounding audience. In addition to the curious residents in the surrounding area, there were also many diners who came here specifically after receiving flyers.
After about ten minutes, the crowd had gathered in three layers, surrounding the store entrance.
The lion dance masters gradually stopped their movements in tacit understanding, slowly stepped aside, and handed the stage to Su Yuanzheng.
Su Yuan was standing at the door of the store, wearing neat and appropriate clothes and smiling.
He cleared his throat, looked at everyone sincerely, and said:
Dear friends, family, and neighbors, today is the official opening day of our Su Ji Beijing store! Thank you all for coming and supporting us!
We mainly serve Nanning-style dishes and hope to bring a brand new experience to everyone.
The shop is ready and the sign is about to be unveiled. This is not only a new starting point for Su Ji in Beijing, but also the beginning of our fate with all of you.
During the first three days of opening, all dishes and set meals in the restaurant are 30% off. In the days ahead, we hope everyone will keep in touch with us, come visit Su Ji often, taste our food, and offer valuable feedback.
"good!"
As soon as Su Yuanzheng finished speaking, the neighbors who came to support him applauded. Inspired by them, others also did not hesitate to add some good mood to this lively scene.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Su Yuanzheng slowly unveiled the red cloth on the signboard, and the two big characters "Su Ji" shone brightly in the sun.
At the same time, firecrackers on both sides of the store entrance were lit. The deafening sound of firecrackers announced that the new store was officially open to customers.
The red lanterns on both sides of the store door swayed in the wind, contrasting with the colorful balloons and ribbons inside the store, making the entire store look particularly festive.
The waiters were standing on both sides of the door, waiting for customers to enter the store.
The Ye couple, who had arrived at the store a long time ago and were standing in the front row of the crowd, were the first to walk into the store and winked at Su Miao who was standing at the cashier.
Father Ye asked loudly, "What's the signature dish?"
"Hello, this is the price list behind me. The main dishes in the store are the Nancheng style, including white-cut lemon duck, fried lemon duck, fragrant braised duck and Laoyou fried pork offal.
You can order a set meal or individual dishes. You can dine in or take away.”
Her clear and pleasant voice, like a silver bell, could be heard clearly outside the store, attracting many people to look in curiously.
Several neighbors also came in and ordered food. Su Miao stamped the note with the engraved seal, which was much faster than writing it by hand.
Today, Jiayin and Ziyi also came to help. They took the initiative to take on the task of attracting customers outside the store, enthusiastically introducing the characteristics of Su Ji to passers-by and guiding customers into the store.
This way, Su Yuanzheng would have time to go into the kitchen and prepare meals with Meng Sui.
With the Ye couple and their neighbors taking the lead, more and more customers came into the store.
As soon as customers step into the store, they are attracted by the clean and bright environment.
The wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, the floor is as clean as new, and several exquisite paintings depicting the scenery of Nanning are hung on the walls, creating a warm and unique atmosphere, which instantly won the first impression of customers.
Then, the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen filled the air, successfully arousing the customers' taste buds at this time when it was almost noon and they were all hungry.
Soon, the restaurant was full, and the waiters shuttled between the tables, serving food to the customers skillfully.
Customers tasted Su Ji's special dishes with satisfied expressions on their faces, and gave thumbs up to praise the delicious taste.
"The taste is so unique, completely different from the food in Beijing, delicious!" A middle-aged diner gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, the price is not expensive. You can come here often in the future." A young girl next to her agreed.
Outside the store, the lion dance performance was still going on. The lions shuttled through the crowd and interacted with the audience from time to time. The atmosphere was extremely warm.
Laughter, the sound of gongs and drums, and conversations intertwined together to compose a lively chapter of Su Ji’s opening.
In a lively and festive atmosphere, Su Ji’s opening was a complete success and set a good start for its future development.
After two days of excitement, Su Ji’s Beijing store received its first large delivery order.
An uncle came to the store and asked:
"Is it still 30% off? Last day discount? If I order today and it's delivered tomorrow, will it be based on today's price?"
"Hello, if you pay today, you can still get the discounted price." Su Miao said with a smile.
The uncle frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Do I have to pay first? If I order a lot, can I pay a deposit or something? You see, the store just opened, and I came to support it. Please do me a favor and I'll pay the balance after the goods are delivered tomorrow."
This form of paying a deposit is quite common, and it's also the same in Yongcheng, so Su Miao asked, "What dishes do you want to order? And how many are you going to order?"
"I'd like to order five pounds of braised food and ten pounds of boiled lemon duck! I've never eaten your lemon duck this way before, but I found it quite appetizing when I tried it yesterday."
"Thank you. I hope you like our dishes. If you want to order a custom dish, you need to pay half of the price first, and then we can deliver it within five kilometers."
"Okay, I'll pay for it. Please prepare it and send it to me by 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. My mother is having a birthday party. Please ask for some extra pork head when she cuts the braised food!"
Su Miao nodded quickly, and while carefully recording in the notebook, he said:
"Okay, I've already noted it on the order. We'll separate the marinade and sauce. You just need to pour it on after it's delivered."
The uncle paid the deposit, left his address and phone number, and left in a hurry.
