Song Lili knew in her heart that most people were just there to eat whatever they wanted.
What she needs is for Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant to gain recognition today, so that many people will know that such a restaurant exists.
We also need to win over the hearts of those who come today, so they'll have the urge to make a second purchase and then bring new customers.
Therefore, cooking is the best thing to do today; this is her requirement for herself.
After all the vegetables were prepared, everyone came to help because there was a lot of meat today.
Some people were washing, some were cutting, and some were plating. Everyone was busy, but very orderly.
By the time everything was ready, it was almost 10 o'clock. Song Lili thought it was time to open the door and welcome the guests.
She opened the door and then personally pasted the written note on the front door.
The paper displayed today's special offer: 40% off everything on the first day of opening, for one day only.
The waiters, all dressed in black tops, stood neatly in two rows, ready and waiting for guests to come in.
Song Lili found someone who was quick-witted and went out first. Then, she read out the contents of the paper.
Zhang Qinghua set off the firecrackers, and after they went off, they attracted the attention of some people, and everyone gathered around.
The people Song Lili found also seized the opportunity to complete their tasks.
"Don't miss out! Today is our grand opening day, with everything 40% off! This offer is only valid for one day, so don't miss out!"
Song Lili set the price at 50 cents per person, with a 60% discount, which means you can eat for 30 cents.
This is cheaper than a meal for some students from well-off families, and even students from less well-off families can afford it.
Therefore, this immediately attracted the attention of another group of people.
However, many people just watched and observed, looking inside the store, and no one was willing to be the first to enter.
Song Lili was at the door when she heard them talking.
"The price doesn't seem too expensive, only three cents, just the cost of a meal. Why don't we go in and take a look? Try it? Maybe it'll be really delicious!"
"What if it tastes bad? I've never seen it before. I don't think it's reliable, but I'll still take a look."
"It's just one meal if it's not very good. Besides, it's not that expensive. If it's good, you can bring your classmates next time."
"You mean, it's really all-you-can-eat inside? It's not a scam, is it?"
"Probably not. Since they've said it outright, they'll definitely do it. Otherwise, who would come back?"
"That makes sense. Shall we go? I heard it's run by students from our school, so it should be alright, right?"
"From our school? How did you know? How come I didn't know?"
"You didn't know? A few days ago they were learning how to recruit people. They said they would pay by the hour, and a lot of people applied. I went too, but I wasn't selected."
"So that means everyone inside is our classmate? What's there to be afraid of? Let's go in. Our classmates wouldn't lie to us, would they?"
"Hey, wait a minute, let's take another look. Don't be impulsive."
Song Lili listened to the discussions outside from inside, thinking that after a while, someone should come in.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement, so we had no choice but to go out and take a look.
She thought that she should take drastic measures, otherwise everyone would be watching and no one would be the first to try something new.
So, she smiled and looked at the large crowd gathered outside, saying, "Today is our first day of business, so I wanted to thank everyone for coming."
"So our boss decided that the first three customers to enter the store will get in for free." After saying that, he looked at the crowd with a smile.
People like to take advantage of small things, and she didn't believe that no one would be unmoved.
Sure enough, many people were tempted after hearing that the first three would get it for free, and they all looked on with great interest.
The person who had just been stopped by his companion immediately stepped forward, saying, "Let's go, let's go, what are we waiting for?"
"The first three people get a free meal. Even if it's terrible, I'll still be making a profit. What are you all hesitating for?" With that, he went into the store.
"Welcome," Song Lili said with a smile to the man, and his friend followed her in.
"There are two spots left," Song Lili said calmly.
"Me, me, me, I'm here! Let us in quickly! Even though I'm rich, I still want to take advantage of others." Suddenly, Liang Yulin, along with Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan, squeezed through the crowd and walked in without hesitation.
This was like flipping a switch; everyone stopped waiting and rushed to compete for the last spot.
Seeing the crowd outside, Song Lili made way for everyone while saying, "Everyone, please be careful and don't get hurt."
Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed the first person to enter the store and said, "This is the third person today."
When the others saw that the others had already gone in and that they had been a step too late, they all sighed with regret.
Some people didn't get a spot and were turned away, while others, though disappointed, still got in.
Upon entering, a waiter immediately greeted them, led them to a table, and then someone came to pour them water.
Aside from the first three groups that came in, four more groups entered, and most of the ten tables in the store were full.
After taking orders for hot pot and answering some people's questions, the waiters began to perform their respective duties.
In the kitchen. It's not busy yet because all the ingredients are ready; this is the first batch of guests, and everything is well-prepared.
So, seeing how busy things were ahead, some people went out to help.
People at that time were more honest and simple; there were very few cunning and dishonest people. This job was hard-won, and many people cherished it.
Nobody wants to be idle, for fear that the boss will see them and they won't be allowed to come anymore.
Song Lili hadn't thought that way. She only asked everyone to do their job well, and then they could rest or help out.
Seeing that the store was finally bustling with customers, Song Lili was very happy, but she was afraid that no one would come in.
Song Lili personally went to Liang Yulin's table. "Do you all like spicy food, or is it something non-spicy?"
“I can eat spicy food, but the other two don’t know that,” Liang Yulin said first.
"We can both," they both said.
"How about we bring you a hot pot with two broths? We have spicy and non-spicy options, you can choose whichever you prefer."
The main reason was that Song Lili saw Yan'er was there, and since children shouldn't eat too much spicy food, it would be bad for her stomach.
"Alright then. Go ahead and do it, I trust you." Liang Yulin waved his hand casually.
"Okay, you can wait a moment." Song Lili went to place the order and told them to sit and wait. A waiter came over and poured a glass of water for each of the three of them.
"It seems Song Lili did a good job. I'm very satisfied with the service, and the waiters are very perceptive." Liang Yulin looked around with satisfaction; she also liked the decor.
