Chapter 522
After the three-day opening promotion period, the surging influx of customers has eased a little, but business is still booming.
There were many diners in the restaurant, but fortunately they could provide takeout, which could alleviate some of the waiting time.
Among the diners who come to patronize the restaurant, there are naturally some who are not used to Nanning cuisine. Most of these customers are not used to unique side dishes such as sour bamboo shoots and pickled lemons, but they still approve of braised food.
More diners who came to the restaurant praised the dishes here. After trying them on the first day, many of them brought their friends to eat here for three consecutive days.
During these few days of high-intensity work, the restaurant staff team has become more and more tacit in their cooperation.
Ordering food, serving dishes, clearing the table, and answering diners' questions, each link is closely connected to form an efficient service chain.
As the team collaboration continues to improve, the restaurant's praise rate has skyrocketed.
Diners not only praised the unique flavor of Nanning cuisine, but were also impressed by the restaurant's efficient and attentive service.
It was around three in the afternoon, and just like the daily routine in Nanning, the store was on break, and they wouldn't start preparing for dinner until four-thirty in the afternoon.
Su Miao is mainly responsible for front desk work, introducing dishes to customers and taking orders. It is relatively easy, so she is not very tired.
At this moment, she followed Fang Zheng to deliver goods to customers.
The reason why Fang Zheng was put in charge of delivery was because he was familiar with the roads in Beijing.
If the number of orders requiring delivery increases in the future, it is not ruled out that he will be transferred to a dedicated delivery position.
Fang Zheng rode a tricycle, carrying Su Miao and the packed dishes, and traveled through the alleys and lanes of the capital.
"If we take the main street, it'll take more than 20 minutes to get there. I'm familiar with the side roads here, so taking a shortcut can speed up the journey by 10 minutes!"
Fang Zheng said to Su Miao as he skillfully turned into an alley.
Su Miao responded with a smile:
"Brother Zheng, thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, our delivery business would have taken a while to figure out. If I were to deliver the goods myself, I'd probably have to ask for directions while looking for a place."
"Hahaha! It's okay. There are only a few roads. The layout of the capital is easy to remember. I'll tell you a few more times and you'll definitely remember the way."
The two chatted and soon arrived at the yard where the uncle's address was written.
It is a very typical slum, divided into many households through a narrow gate, and it is very crowded inside.
Fang Zheng stopped the car and said, "I don't know which room the big brother who placed the order lives in. Let's go in and look for him."
After locking the car, Fang Zheng and Su Miao walked into the compound carrying two large bags of vegetables.
The original yard was actually very large, but no matter how big it was, it could not accommodate so many residents.
Every family wants to occupy more space and have their own small area, so you block off a little and I block off a little, making the place winding and easy to get lost.
The two asked along the way and found out that the uncle who took orders was in the room at the back.
But when they arrived at the door, before they could knock, they heard the sound of a porcelain bowl breaking in the room.
At the same time, there were also sharp shouts and curses: "Second brother, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I'm staring at Mom's house every day? Don't we have a house? My house is much bigger than this!"
At this time, another man's voice rang out: "Oh! Come on! Your house is in Ping County, which is in the countryside. How can it be compared with this place? A few decades ago, it was not even considered the capital!"
"Who says Ping County isn't the capital? It always has been! It's only been separated from it for a dozen or twenty years, and it was long ago returned to the capital. It's a county now, but it won't be one soon!"
Su Miao and Fang Zheng looked at each other and stopped unconsciously.
"Look! You admit it yourself, right? Ha! If we use the old saying, you come to my house for dinner, I'm doing you a favor for my country neighbors. But there has to be a limit to the aid, what's the point?"
"Gao Jianmin! You're being so harsh! As long as Mom is still around, this is my home! If I hadn't come to visit so often, Mom might not even have enough to eat!"
At this moment, a female voice joined the quarrel:
"Little sister! What you said is so heartless. I get up early and go to bed late every day. In addition to working and taking care of the children, I also have to take care of my mother. I have a clear conscience!
If you think I'm not taking good care of you, then take Mom back to your home. When Mom was still able to speak, she often said, "Sons and daughters are the same. If they're the same, why can't I raise a daughter?"
The woman who spoke first snorted coldly, her tone full of sarcasm:
"Huh! Sister-in-law, you're really calculating! We have three rooms now. This big room is the original one. When we were little, the three of us siblings and our parents all lived here.
Later, when my eldest and second brothers were getting married, my father spent money to rent these two adjacent rooms from the neighbors on both sides to use as your new houses.
In 1981, the year my son was born, my father spent all his savings to buy these two rooms!
It was originally agreed that my eldest brother, second brother and I would each have a room. Later, my eldest brother got a room at work and moved out, so it was impossible for my whole family to squeeze in.
I've made a deal with you guys. You guys will take care of mom, and these three rooms will be yours from now on.
What? Are you thinking about just taking the house and kicking Mom out? Today is Mom’s birthday! Look at what you just said, you pissed off Big Brother and ran away!
Su Miao and Fang Zheng heard everything the family said clearly outside the door, and once again looked at each other silently. Did they... come at an untimely time?
There was a constant noise in the house, and they were hesitant about whether to knock on the door, but they still had to deliver the braised food and lemon duck.
"Alright! Alright! Stop arguing! Today is Mom's birthday! Are you guys behaving like this?
"Second brother! Do you really not want to take care of Mom? If you really don't want to, just say it! I will take Mom home right now! Your eldest brother and I will take care of Mom until she dies!"
A new female voice joined the battle, her voice rising a few decibels, with a hint of anger and helplessness.
"Um...sister-in-law, this is what you said. Can you represent my brother? My brother has a very bad temper. He ran away just because he was not happy with a few words I said. Don't let the two of you quarrel later." The man said sarcastically.
"Oh! Okay, I know what you mean. Your eldest brother never said he didn't want to take care of Mom. Since you want to get rid of her quickly, then quickly pack up all of Mom's things. I'll take her away now!"
"Oh my! The old lady lives a very luxurious life and has a lot of luggage! You can't carry it all by yourself, sister-in-law. Besides, Mom can't walk and needs a wheelchair. Let my younger brothers and sisters come and see you off!"
The old lady's second son and his wife were happily going to another room to pack their things. As soon as they opened the door, they bumped into Su Miao and Fang Zheng, and they stared at each other.
