After ordering, the waiter brought a fruit platter and four aprons, three large and one small.
Soon, the soup base and dishes were all served, and several guests started to enjoy the hot pot.
For a moment, the air in the entire store was filled with the spicy and fragrant aroma.
Five or six more tables of guests came in one after another.
Passersby at the door smelled the fragrance and walked into the store out of curiosity.
I just saw people eating hot pot in the restaurant sighing from time to time.
"This tripe is absolutely amazing, so delicious!"
"Yeah, I'd like to order two more."
"This beef roll is also delicious. I like beef rolls."
"Oh my god, isn't the yellow throat the cow's large blood vessel? You can eat it like this!"
A little girl's crisp voice rang out from somewhere, "Mommy, I like this Taro Bobo Milk Tea, it's so delicious!"
“…”
The customers who entered the restaurant waited for their food to be served at their seats, swallowing their saliva.
By half past eleven, two-thirds of the seats in the store lobby were already occupied.
At this time, the first table of guests finished their meal and took the bill from the waiter to the cashier to pay.
Yan Ning also got a membership card at the hot pot restaurant, which does not require recharging and is used to store points for consumption.
When you accumulate a certain number of points, you can redeem a dish.
For example, two thousand points can be exchanged for a meat dish, and one thousand points can be exchanged for a vegetarian dish.
The cashier introduced the membership card system to the customer.
The guest filled out a form and applied for a membership card with the card number HY00001.
The four of them spent a total of 537 yuan, and their points totaled 537.
The cashier handed the customer the receipt and a few breath-freshening mints.
Several guests took their receipts to the side to draw a lottery. The child reached into the lottery box and then grabbed a lottery ticket.
There is a layer of coating on the ticket that needs to be scratched off by yourself.
The child scraped off the coating under the waiter's guidance and said, "Wow...it's the third prize. What is the third prize?"
The waiter smiled and handed over a coupon, "You are so lucky, kid. The third prize is a coupon worth 100 yuan.
Next time you come to our store to make a purchase, you can use this coupon to get a 100 yuan discount."
The child looked happily at her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, can we come here to eat hot pot next time?"
Her parents smiled and nodded in agreement, and then the family happily left the hot pot restaurant.
It is dinner time now, and people are coming and going in the hot pot restaurant.
The lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor were full of people.
The peak lunch period didn't end until after two o'clock.
Only the staff at the hot pot restaurant have time to eat lunch.
At three o'clock, the night shift staff came on time to take over.
The morning shift is from nine to three, and the evening shift is from three to nine.
At dinner time, the hot pot restaurant is still crowded with customers.
After closing the store in the evening, the store manager and supervisor calculated the day's sales and found that they had made a total of more than HK$143,120 on the first day of opening.
There are forty tables in the lobby on the first floor and twenty in the private rooms on the second floor.
The table turnover rate is not very high. On average, the store can accommodate about 300 tables of customers a day.
For a period of time afterwards, Yipintang became the most popular restaurant in Hong Kong.
Hot pot, dry pot, fruit tea and milk tea of various flavors all stimulate people's taste buds.
In this port city where light flavors are the main flavors, the emergence of Yipintang has set off a craze.
Two months later, Yan Ning began planning to open a branch of the jewelry store.
The tasks of finding a store, decorating it, and recruiting employees were all left to Jiang Yan.
On September 10th, the "Only" jewelry store opened two branches in Kowloon City and Wan Chai District at the same time.
Business was still very brisk on the opening day.
Yan Ning planned to return to the mainland in October, so she wrote to Yan Yuqi in advance to tell him the time of her return.
During this time, she has to arrange all matters in Hong Kong City.
Jiang Yan has been promoted to the manager of the 'Only' Jewelry Company. In addition to the jewelry store, she is also responsible for managing all matters related to the hot pot restaurant.
Yan Ning felt very relieved to leave all the matters to her, after all, the Ning family members were there to help keep an eye on them.
October 10th soon arrived.
Yan Ning took a train from the port city back to the mainland, passed the Luohu Port, and arrived at Bao'an County Railway Station.
After leaving the train station, she found a corner nearby and entered the space, then appeared at the anchor point of Anping Commune carrying two boxes.
Yan Ning went directly to the ox cart parking area near the station and rented an ox cart to take her back to Daliushu.
Staggering along the way, she looked at the desolate and desolate scenery on the road, and for a moment she felt as if she were in a dream.
It's like traveling through time.
It was already past three in the afternoon when we arrived at Daliushu.
This period is the busy time for autumn harvest. People don’t get off work until seven o’clock every evening, and there are not many people in the village.
After returning to the Yan family, Yan Ning took the two boxes to the main room and put them away, then went back to her room to clean.
At six o'clock, Yan Ning went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
It’s no wonder, she hasn’t cooked for a long time, and she doesn’t even know how to light the stove.
It took more than ten minutes to light up two stoves. First, wash the rice and put it into the pot to cook.
Heat some hot water in another pot.
Yan Ning took out a few pounds of pork and a chicken from the space, as well as some vegetables.
First stew the chicken and make a chicken soup with chicken mushrooms.
She didn't start cooking until 6:40.
One dish of braised pork, one dish of stir-fried pork, one dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers, one dish of spinach with garlic, and one dish of cold cucumber salad.
At around 7:10, it was already dark outside.
The team members were exhausted after a day's work.
At this time, everyone dragged their tired bodies towards the village.
When Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan and Song Xiuyuan reached the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, they saw a ray of light shining from their own yard in the distance.
Old Madam Yan was surprised and asked, "Why is there someone in our house? Could it be that Xiao Qi has returned?"
Old Master Yan: "There is no one else except that kid."
As they were talking, they quickly walked out of the yard, pushed open the door and entered the yard.
I smelled a fragrance as soon as I entered the yard.
Old Mrs. Yan said, "We are in for a treat tonight. We will have a hot meal as soon as we get home."
Song Xiuyuan looked around the yard and said, "Mom, it doesn't look like Xiaoqi. His bicycle isn't even here. He probably hasn't come back yet."
Old Madam Yan also looked around the yard and asked, "If it's not Xiao Qi, then who could it be?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Ning walking out of the main room carrying a kettle.
"Grandpa, grandma, second aunt, you are back."
"Ning girl!"
Old Mrs. Yan exclaimed in surprise, then asked in delight: "When did you come back?"
"I came back this afternoon. I have something to do this time."
Yan Ning said as he carried the kettle to the well, "Grandma, I've boiled some hot water for you. Wash up first.
I have prepared the meal, and we can eat when Second Uncle comes back."
