The shop was already quite hot because of the fire, and the steam made the temperature even higher.
Some people unbuttoned their clothes while eating, while others took off their outer cotton coats because it was just too hot.
The people inside were also eating with great enthusiasm.
Outside, some people remained, still observing.
Watching their pots bubbling away, everyone's face was filled with satisfaction, sweat pouring down their faces, yet they also looked thoroughly pleased.
Some people still gritted their teeth and came in.
Some of the first group of people who came in had already eaten their fill and were planning to leave.
Song Lili instructed the waiter to keep an eye on the table and, if they wanted to have more, to immediately clear the table and wait for the next group of guests.
The first to leave were Liang Yulin's table; they got up and left after they finished eating.
Because it was free, Liang Yulin left with a clear conscience, and even told Song Lili, "I'll pay you next time I come."
Song Lili watched Liang Yulin pat his butt and leave with a flourish, speechless. She really didn't know what to say about this guy.
When I first met her, I thought she was arrogant. Now that I know her, I realize she's actually a very easygoing and carefree girl.
Her words drew the attention of the other customers in the store, who then noticed that the first three customers got a free meal, and only then did they lower their heads and resume eating their own food.
Song Lili shook her head helplessly. This girl's personality was quite likable.
After Liang Yulin and his group left, a waiter went to clear the table.
Song Lili went to the kitchen and said, "Keep an eye on things. If we run out of ingredients, get more as soon as possible. If we're still short, tell Qinghua and have him go buy some more." Everything must go smoothly today.
Everyone agreed, and some people even started washing the vegetables.
Of all the ingredients, meat is consumed the fastest, almost at a very rapid pace.
Fortunately, Song Lili was prepared in advance. She had already prepared a lot of meat when she was cleaning it earlier, so she wasn't in a hurry.
The kitchen staff continued to slowly prepare the meat.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do in the kitchen, Song Lili went out. "If the ingredients run out, you'll have to make another trip."
Sitting down at the cashier's desk, Song Lili looked at Zhang Qinghua and said.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "I know, I'll be careful. If I don't have it, I'll buy it myself, don't worry."
"good"
From opening to lunchtime, we welcomed two groups of guests.
The second time there were noticeably more customers than the first time, probably because they had heard it was really delicious.
Or rather, it's confirmed that you can eat whatever you want inside, even meat.
At noon, some people came in, but everyone was relatively calm and able to keep up with the work.
While everyone else was busy, Song Lili went to make staff meals.
Meals are included here.
However, the staff need to cook their own meals, and she was too busy today, so she did it.
Seeing that everyone had been busy all morning and was tired, she made shredded chicken noodles as a reward.
The noodles were handmade by her, very chewy, and the shredded chicken was also from the restaurant's ingredients. So it was quick to prepare.
Lin Xue assisted Song Lili.
"Sister-in-law, business seems pretty good today. There are quite a few people coming into the store. It should be good in the future." Lin Xue was in a good mood and had a sense of confidence that Song Lili would succeed.
Song Lili was in a good mood, but she remained rational, saying, "There are so many people here today because it's the opening day and there are special offers."
"Starting tomorrow, the number of people will gradually decrease, eventually stabilizing at a certain level." This is probably something all newly opened shops go through, right?
"Is that so?" Lin Xue didn't understand these things, but after hearing what Song Lili said, she felt that it seemed to make sense.
“I was saying that we didn’t have enough staff in the store, and you were probably going to hire more people tomorrow. But now that you’ve said this, it seems like we have enough staff.”
After all, there aren't as many people later on as there are today, so it won't be as busy as it is today.
"We won't be hiring for now; these people are enough," Song Lili said, glancing outside.
After preparing lunch, the three children ate first, and then the adults ate in shifts, as someone still needed to look after the shop.
The Zhang family was used to everything about Song Lili, so they weren't surprised. But the others were overjoyed to see that they were having chicken noodles for lunch.
The wages at the store are high, so even if meals aren't included, no one complains.
Not only did Song Lili provide meals, but she also cooked so well. At that moment, all the employees thought, "This boss is so good."
From now on, I must work hard, otherwise I will not live up to such good treatment.
Song Lili was unaware that she had won over many people with just one meal, making them all wholeheartedly follow her.
Many of the people here later became her right-hand men and her core team.
After lunch, there weren't so many people left, just one or two tables scattered around. Taking advantage of this time, Song Lili let everyone rest for a bit.
After all, I'll probably be busy for a while tonight.
The afternoons, especially around mealtimes, are very busy, even busier than the mornings.
Many people come here because they've heard from others that the food is delicious and that you can eat as much meat as you want.
So the table was quickly filled.
Some people come and there are no seats, but they will wait, just waiting for a seat to be available so they can have a meal.
This made Song Lili sigh, the meat was really attractive, she could stand in the cold wind for so long.
However, she didn't just stand by and watch. She asked the waiter to give each of the people waiting outside a cup of hot water so they wouldn't be too cold.
Her actions won the hearts of some people, after all, such thoughtful service is still rare these days.
Because there were so many people that evening, even Lin Xue, Zhang Qingguo, and Zhang Qinghua went to help out, and Song Lili was also extremely busy in the kitchen.
Finally, Zhang Shengtian was responsible for boiling water and taking care of the three children, which left him exhausted.
When things calmed down a bit, it was already past 7 p.m., and everyone finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
With the waiters finally able to keep up with the workload, Song Lili was able to free up some time to prepare dinner.
The employees are still hungry.
In the evening, Song Lili made sour soup noodles. The sweet and sour, steaming hot soup could relieve people's fatigue.
A hot meal can relax the body, relieve fatigue, give everyone a breather, and also stimulate the appetite.
Perhaps because they were tired, everyone had a big appetite. Song Lili made two large pots of sour soup noodles. They finished them all.
Today is the weekend, so all the part-time workers are working full-time, which is why there are so many people here.
Song Lili thought that there shouldn't be so many people during the week.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people today, otherwise I would have been exhausted.
By the time there were no more customers, it was already 9 p.m., and by the time everything was packed up, they closed the door, and left, it was past 10 p.m.
After closing the shop, the family trudged home, their steps uneven.
