The bright red color symbolizes a thriving business that will become increasingly prosperous.
As the applause subsided, he smiled and put down the scissors, saying, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for my shop."
"The ingredients are ready in the store. Today, please try my hot pot. I hope you can give me your feedback."
"This will give me some peace of mind, and I hope everyone has a happy day."
After saying that, Song Lili stepped aside to let people walk into the store.
The second branch is the largest of the three, much larger than the first two combined.
The decoration continues the previous style, with an elegant and antique feel. As soon as you enter, you can feel a spring breeze blowing in your face.
It brings a refreshing scent, which can greatly improve your mood.
And because of its large size and open view, I felt much more relaxed and happy.
Of course, I was in a good mood while eating.
Everyone looked on with admiration, praising the decor the most, saying it was incredibly comfortable.
The restaurant is elegant and understated, while the hot pot is vibrant and lively; yet they complement each other perfectly, making the restaurant even more flavorful.
Everyone did their work casually yet in an orderly fashion. The waiters, trained by Zhang Junlin, filed out, carrying fresh ingredients that had just arrived that morning.
Place it on the table, then retreat in an orderly and polite manner.
"These are ingredients that need to be processed immediately, so please put them in the pot as soon as possible. As for the rest, you will need to do it yourselves."
"After all, this is a self-service restaurant, so everyone can experience it."
She can't change the "self-service" label; everyone's still curious about it.
No one objected; this kind of business model is still quite novel in this era.
Even though Song Lili was the first to use it, there weren't many followers; for most people, it was still quite novel.
However, this makes it less convenient for everyone to move around and chat.
With this in mind, Song Lili arranged an extra half hour after the meal specifically for everyone to talk.
At noon, the ribbon-cutting ceremony concluded successfully, and those who had been invited began to leave.
"Lili, you've made quite a grand affair here!" Huang Zhen said with some admiration as he came over.
"I was thinking about opening a second branch, so I decided to have a big celebration." Otherwise, she would have just set off some firecrackers to celebrate.
After all, Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant already has a good reputation, so there's no need for further promotion.
Customers are the best advertisement.
“That’s good. You’re usually low-key and don’t go out much, so a lot of people are curious about you. This is a good thing.” Mu Shaohua nodded in agreement.
This satisfies the curiosity of those who are curious, so naturally they won't cause any trouble.
“I’ll write an article for you when I get back; I really like eating this,” Zhong Hu suddenly said quietly from behind.
"Really?" Song Lili exclaimed in surprise.
Although she had this idea, she only thought about it and never actually put it into action.
Zhong Hu is not the type to give preferential treatment to people he knows; even if you asked, he wouldn't agree.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Hu took the initiative to speak.
"Hmph, I think the main reason is that he likes to eat it." Mu Shaohua sneered.
“Yeah, I just love to eat, so what?” Zhong Hu retorted.
The two were about to have a big fight, which scared Song Lili so much that she quickly stopped them, lest they start arguing.
After seeing everyone off, Song Lili returned to the shop. "Everyone, go and eat first."
The kitchen staff are already preparing meals for the employees, and they can eat lunch in shifts.
Song Lili also took Wang Daming to lunch.
"Lili, can I work for you for a while?" Wang Daming suddenly asked.
"How could you have such an idea?" Song Lili was somewhat surprised by Wang Daming's decision to work here.
"I suddenly realized that I had acted impulsively before. I thought I would do it for a while, understand it better, and then talk about the future."
This was a decision Wang Daming made suddenly this morning.
The reason was that he overheard the conversations of the guests Lili had invited and found that he couldn't understand much of it, let alone comprehend it.
The enthusiasm I felt was extinguished and then frozen, like being hit by a heavy snowfall.
It was only at this point that he realized he had been too simplistic in his thinking; doing business was not such an easy thing.
There are many things to learn inside.
He needs to understand, he needs to comprehend, and he needs to be clear about it; this is about taking responsibility for himself.
"Okay, then you can stay here and work there. We'll plan the next steps when you feel the time is right."
Song Lili nodded, understanding that Wang Daming had his own considerations, and she would not interfere.
"But what position do you want?"
"I'll start as a waiter/waitress. If possible, I'd like to try every position."
Song Lili nodded again, "Okay, I'll let Zhang Junlin know."
Song Lili didn't know whether Wang Daming would be of any help to her in the shop.
What she knew was that Wang Daming was an adult with the ability to think independently, and that he was a person with his own ideas.
He won't do anything reckless.
So even though she didn't understand, she agreed.
Sometimes, life plays tricks on you; things you think you'll never need might come in handy someday.
So, let it be.
After that day, Wang Daming went to work at the hot pot restaurant, still living in the alley, and the hot pot restaurant gradually got back on track.
Song Lili was finally able to relax a bit.
Then she remembered that she had promised her son she would go to see an apartment, and she hadn't kept her promise yet.
"I'll take you out to play tomorrow," Song Lili said to her two children at dinner.
"Okay," Xiao Chen nodded, a happy look on her face, indicating that she liked it.
Xiao Hui seemed a little unhappy, pouting, and didn't react much to what was said, just lowering her head and eating her rice.
Song Lili raised an eyebrow. What's wrong? Is she in a bad mood?
She picked up her daughter, who was already crawling, and kissed, hugged, and lifted her high, having a great time and ignoring Xiao Hui.
Let's see how long he can hold it in.
To Song Lili's surprise, Xiao Hui actually held back and didn't say a word.
Song Lili waited until Xiao Hui fell asleep, but he still hadn't fallen asleep. In the end, she could only stare wide-eyed and say, "So, I failed? I got slapped in the face?"
That little brat, only a few years old, is really good at pretending; he didn't say a word.
But she's already asleep, what can I do? Oh well, I'll deal with it tomorrow.
Waking up refreshed, the family of five went out in high spirits, and Xiao Hui showed no signs of being unhappy.
"Mom, where are we going?" After all, Xiao Hui was still a child, and he couldn't wait to ask after leaving the house.
"Where do you want to go?" Song Lili teased him, finding his eagerness quite adorable.
"I...I want to go see a house, our house, an apartment building," Xiaohui said quickly.
I comforted myself, thinking that since Mom forgot, it's okay if he asks for it himself, right? That way, he can still see the buildings.
"So that's why you're unhappy?"
