Thinking about such a life, Zhang Qinghua actually felt it was pretty good, and even had a faint sense of anticipation.
It seems that he would be very happy that way.
Zhang Qinghua made a decision in his heart: starting today, he would study cooking skills properly so that he wouldn't feel so helpless as he does now, and at least he could be of some help.
Despite Zhang Qinghua's concern, Song Lili didn't feel that she was suffering. On the contrary, she felt that her days were fulfilling and meaningful.
Although I was very tired, I felt satisfied, which made the physical exertion seem less difficult.
I felt much better, and it seemed like my resilience had increased significantly.
She was helping out in the kitchen, and the busier she was, the more excited she felt, and the more her blood seemed to boil.
Because her current popularity means that her career has taken off and is beginning to develop gradually.
This hot pot restaurant is the starting point and prototype of her business, and it will grow and expand in the future.
Things will get better from now on.
Starting at 11 a.m., people kept coming into the hot pot restaurant without stopping.
Lunchtime is a peak period, when many people choose to come and eat, and are even willing to wait.
By the time everyone had left and the shop was no longer busy, it was already 2 p.m.
Only then did everyone have time to sit down and rest, have time to drink some water, and have time to realize that their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Song Lili was also exhausted, as were the others.
She wasn't in the mood to cook anymore, and said directly, "Let's have hot pot for lunch. Everything is readily available, and it'll be quicker and more convenient."
Most importantly, hurry up! Everyone's starving, so let's not wait. Let's eat whatever's available.
So, this scene unfolded at the hot pot restaurant: Song Lili's family, along with the staff, sat at four tables and ate hot pot together.
Song Lili's family sat at one table, while the others sat at two separate tables, which was just about right.
"Everyone, please help yourselves to whatever you want to eat. Eat as much as you want until you're full. You're all tired after a long morning."
"Besides, since everyone here works here and hasn't tried our own restaurant's hot pot yet, it's not easy to recommend it to customers later. So, you should all have a good taste today."
"In the future, if any customers who don't know ask what's the best to eat, you'll have a better idea of what to recommend, right?"
"So don't be shy or feel embarrassed. Everyone, eat as much as you want. There's plenty to go around today."
"But this is your only chance. We don't know when the next one will be, so everyone should definitely seize the opportunity!"
Before eating, Song Lili looked at everyone and said.
She was worried that some people wouldn't dare to eat too much, thinking that the boss would be unhappy if they ate too much in front of him, so she spoke up in advance.
In this way, everyone felt less burdened.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, several people relaxed, and many shouted happily, "Thank you, boss!"
"Then let's eat!" Song Lili didn't waste any words and went straight to get her condiment bowl because she was very hungry and felt like she could eat a whole cow.
When the others saw her move, they followed suit.
So, they devoured all the remaining ingredients in a whirlwind.
There wasn't enough left, so Song Lili asked them to go to the kitchen and prepare some more, so that everyone could finally eat their fill.
After they finished eating, they sat contentedly in their chairs. Then someone remembered something they hadn't had a chance to say earlier.
"The hot pot in our restaurant is so delicious! It's the best thing I've ever eaten, bar none," said a young man who was one of the full-time employees. Song Lili had kept him on because he was clever.
"Yes, I didn't realize it when I saw others eating it before, but now that I've eaten it myself, I understand where their expressions of enjoyment come from."
"Ah, anyway, I've fallen in love with it. When I make money in the future, I'll bring my family here to eat together."
"Yes, I'm just waiting for my salary. Once I get paid, I'll bring my younger siblings over so they can try it too."
After they had eaten their fill, everyone chatted and laughed, and Song Lili overheard them.
"If your family comes, there's an employee discount; you get a 40% discount," Song Lili said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you, boss, you're so kind."
"I'll definitely bring my parents. The 40% employee discount is totally worth it."
Everyone was delighted to hear about the employee discount and looked at Song Lili with excitement.
Song Lili laughed, "However, the 60% discount is a benefit for permanent employees." That is, the full-time employees. "The benefits for part-time employees are not as good, but they are still there, at 80%."
This is Song Lili's way of motivating her employees, since in the future, she will still rely on full-time employees.
"A 20% discount is good too, thank you boss."
Even with a 20% discount, part-time workers are still very happy.
After all, the boss can choose not to give you a discount, and you still have to pay when you come. So, getting a two-cent discount is already pretty good.
This comparison made the full-time employees even more grateful. Suddenly, they felt a sense of belonging to the hot pot restaurant, as if it were no longer a stranger and felt like home.
Many people have decided to follow Song Lili wholeheartedly because she treats her subordinates very well, as evidenced by the past two days.
After lunch and a rest, everyone started preparing ingredients for the afternoon. Judging from the morning's situation, there should be quite a few people in the afternoon as well.
Therefore, we must make sure to prepare enough ingredients this time.
Zhang Qinghua went to the market again in the afternoon to buy ingredients, making sure there were enough, just in case.
Song Lili's prediction was indeed correct. With the publicity on the first day, and word-of-mouth recommendations from others, more people came today.
The restaurant was busy from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m., and people were still eating hot pot there.
When they saw that there weren't many people in the store, Song Lili and Lin Xue cooked rice and stir-fried vegetables for the staff's dinner.
After the guests left, I made dumpling soup as a late-night snack. I was busy all day and was hungry.
Then, he cleaned up the shop, closed it, and went home.
After returning home, things were the same as always. After the child fell asleep, the family sat together and counted the money.
When they counted it, they were all shocked: 225 yuan, almost double yesterday's amount.
"So much today?" With yesterday's setup, today's income still shocked everyone, and they all stared blankly at the money on the table.
Song Lili neatly put the money away. "There are a lot of people here today, more than twice as many as yesterday."
"I estimate there will still be more people tomorrow, but the number will gradually decrease starting the day after tomorrow."
Three days later, everyone who needed to know knew, and most of the people who wanted to come had probably arrived.
A week later, when the discounts are gone, there will be another drop before it stabilizes completely. Even if there are fluctuations, they will only be very small.
