Chapter 402 Opening Ribbon Cutting
Wang Qiong's family had several uncles in the army, so Ye Qian was not polite. After knowing this, she gave her a few black cards. Regardless of whether others were willing to come to the opening ceremony or not, she had to do everything in advance.
She also did not forget about Gu Jinyan. They had only been in Beijing for a short time and would be settling down here in the future, so naturally they had to build good relationships with their "colleagues". She gave him all the remaining black cards, a total of 20. It didn't take much time to distribute these cards. Ye Qian was stunned for a moment as she looked at the empty box.
Seeing her like this, Wang Qiong said, "Isn't this card too small?"
"A lot. This is for us to use. This card can give you a 40% discount on meals. It's not free." Ye Qian instructed, fearing that these people didn't understand clearly and would think it was free. It would be bad, so she had to make it clear.
"Do we have to pay for meals?" Fu Shan asked.
"If you're paying, just sign the bill. I'll deduct the money from your salary. This is our internal family card. We won't print more than these 20, so you can handle it on your own. Don't give yours away and ask me for it later. I don't have any more for you."
"We have so many relatives, these cards are not enough to share." Fu Ming said with some difficulty.
"That's why I let you do whatever you want. Besides, if we print too many cards, our other cards will become worthless. We still have to prioritize the cards sold in the store."
Fu Ming wanted to say something else, but was silenced by Li Manyu's look. Ye Qian nodded with satisfaction.
It's just an internal benefit, and he asked so many questions for free. He was simply asking for trouble. If Li Manyu hadn't stopped him, Ye Qian would have really scolded him if he had said a few more words.
Since she had invited the person, she naturally couldn't just give him the card and let him go, so she paid for his lunch.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, everyone seems to have trouble eating. Ye Qian didn't cook any greasy dishes. She just fried a few plates of vegetables, made a serving of sweet and sour pork ribs, a serving of roasted pig's trotters, and a serving of bone soup. After lunch, they even drank the soup and ate it all up. If Ye Qian hadn't been watching, she would have thought they had washed the dishes for her.
Forgive her for really thinking that everyone had no appetite. No one cooked anything. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, everyone suggested leaving.
They were already very familiar with each other, so Ye Qian didn't hesitate to send the person to the door.
The store will open in a few days, and Ye Qian has become more diligent in buying vegetables and fruits recently. From time to time, she goes to the space to collect some vegetables and fruits, and also goes to the store to see if there are any seeds of vegetables that she has not bought, so that she can plant them in time.
Ye Qian took out some vegetables, and the grassy area in the space became a little empty, so she could put more vegetables and fruits on it.
She had only raised some fish and shrimps in the stream water before. There were not many kinds of fish, all of which were nutritious yellow croaker, silver carp, crucian carp, and other fish that can nourish the body. The shrimps were ordinary mud shrimps, but because the water quality was good, the fish and shrimps in the stream were not only much bigger than those outside, but also tasted great, and they were all lively and looked fresh at first glance.
Ye Qian didn't want to waste such good materials in the space, so she placed two extra-large barrels in the warehouse outside, specifically for storing fish and shrimps. However, the quantity was not too much, so she could only sell them in limited quantities.
The employees changed into their work clothes, and they also changed into festive clothes to welcome the opening.
June 1st is Children's Day and also Sunday, a day when adults and children have a day off, so there will definitely be a lot of pedestrians on the streets.
Their store had been renovated a long time ago, but it had been vacant for a long time. People living nearby naturally knew about it. When they heard that the store was finally going to open, everyone came over excitedly to see what was going to be done here.
After all, the decoration here is not very obvious from the outside compared to the current decoration. Just when everyone thought it was going to be a hotel, it suddenly became a restaurant, which really surprised everyone.
"What kind of restaurant would need to serve this kind of food? It must be expensive."
"It's expensive, but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't taste good."
"If it's expensive and not tasty, it won't be long before it goes out of business."
"If it's too expensive, it will go bankrupt after a while. Who has the money to eat out every day?"
"Yes, it seems this store won't be open for long."
Ye Qian walked back and forth at the door, listening to the comments of passers-by. She was not worried about the taste, but she was afraid that it was too expensive and people would not dare to come in, so she was a little troubled.
Ye Qian was not stingy, so she held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the door and then asked people to sing and dance. The atmosphere was very lively for a while, and people stopped to watch. Taking advantage of the crowd, Ye Qian took out the disposable transparent small bowls without LOGO that she had prepared earlier, and asked the chef in the back to fry some vegetables and put them in the small bowls, and then brought them out for people to taste.
In fact, it would be better to put fruits in it, but her fruits are not cheap. If she cuts them into small pieces and gives them to people to taste, no one will buy them, so there is no need to do that.
The weather is hot now, so eating cold dishes won’t be a big deal. When everyone heard that there was something to try, they didn’t want to leave and wanted to try what it tasted like.
Soon, the dishes were served. The food in each small bowl was bright in color and smelled fresh. But after all, it was just vegetarian food. Everyone had eaten it before, so how could a vegetarian dish be delicious? But everyone still had the good habit of not wasting food. Although they complained, "It's just cabbage. I've been eating it for decades, and it tastes the same. The store owner is really stingy."
Although he said this, after putting the dish into his mouth and chewing it for a few times, his attitude changed completely, "It's delicious." The slap in the face came so quickly that the people around him could not cope with it. At this time, the look in their eyes looked strange. They all wondered if this person was a liar or was in cahoots with the store owner and had deliberately mixed in with them.
But after everyone tried the food, they understood what the man had said. They thought the food was just fresher, but they didn't expect it to be so delicious.
All of a sudden, everyone started saying, "It's delicious, really delicious."
The food in her space is delicious, for sure. But she also knows that city people and country people are different in this respect. Life was hard back then, and there were few vegetables. In the country, people would pick and eat the vegetables right from the fields. But it is different in the city. They buy the vegetables according to the date, put them aside, and won't open the store until the right time. Who knows how long they will be kept for? So it is completely understandable that the vegetables are wilted.
But at that time, being alive was already very good. Who would care about these things? If you complained even though you had something to eat, others would hear it and think you didn't know anything. What if you were dragged out for criticism?
