Chapter 84 Extra 4
After returning from the happiest place in the world, Zhou Qingti plunged into more intensive work in order to open the business on May Day.
She wanted to live in the store and check every day which desserts were sold during the opening period and which ones were on sale.
Since it is an afternoon tea restaurant, drinks are also required, including various flower teas, and a milk tea, the classic Hong Kong-style silk stocking milk tea.
On the last night before the opening, Zhou Qingti called a meeting of employees, including two pastry chefs, a European bread chef, two beverage chefs, three waiters, a cashier, and Xiao Li, the store manager.
"The most important thing tomorrow is to ensure the hygiene of the dining area and rest area."
Xiao Li asked, "Should we open two cash registers tomorrow? Otherwise, we might be too late."
Zhou Qingti shook his head. "It's too late. Customers have to queue up. Everyone has a herd mentality. The quieter the store, the less likely they are to go in. Your main job is to deal with emergencies, patrol the store more often, collect customer feedback, and record tomorrow's customer flow."
Xiao Li nodded: "Okay."
"By the way, the waiting time for customers must also be controlled, generally within 5-15 minutes is best."
Zhou Qingti looked at her new team and felt a little nervous. What if there were too few customers tomorrow?
But she couldn't say this to her employees, she could only say it to Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yanzhi explained to her in a clear and logical manner, "Tomorrow is the first day of May Day, and many people will come to G City for tourism. There's a park in Jiangdong District, and your store is across from the mall, so there will definitely be a lot of people."
"Besides, your store is high-end, so the traffic will definitely not be as high as that of internet celebrity stores."
Zhou Qingti hugged his arm and said, "As you said, there will be a lot of people coming. If there are fewer people, call some extras to help me with the show."
Lu Yanzhi patted her back and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a van to take you there."
Zhou Qingti was not particularly worried at this moment, as she still had such a powerful backer.
Lu Yanzhi sent several beautiful bouquets to the store, and unsurprisingly, it became a very popular photo spot.
God helps those who work hard. During the May Day holiday, the hotel was packed every day and the problems Zhou Qingti was worried about did not exist at all.
Zhu Jiajia brought several sisters over, and Zhou Qingti found that they actually preferred the sweet cake because they would not want to eat more after eating two bites.
They mainly want to see whether the film is good enough and whether the environment is good enough.
Zhou Qingti bought two Polaroid cameras in the store, and can give every customer who comes to the store a free photo. If you want to take two more photos, you just need to pay for the photo paper.
This marketing method has won the favor of many girls and has attracted many repeat customers.
However, most people still focus on the dessert itself, which has also received a lot of praise.
Assistant Dong came with his girlfriend, so Zhou Qingti waived his bill. After all, he was a major contributor to her and Lu Yanzhi's marriage.
If he hadn't discovered the cake she made and bought it for Lu Yanzhi, Lu Yanzhi would never have set foot in her little shop.
Lu Yanzhi also said that he would help her promote it on WeChat Moments, but Zhou Qingti refused and posted on her own WeChat Moments, which also attracted many wealthy ladies.
When you sit in her store carrying all kinds of Hermès items, the level of her store has indeed been raised.
There are three or four small booths in the store, which are more private and the most popular.
After the May Day holiday, Zhou Qingti was quite satisfied with the daily turnover of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Even if the first step was successful, Zhou Qingti felt relieved.
On the 6th, Zhou Qingti did not go to the store and rested at home.
I arrived at Lu Yanzhi's company early at noon and had lunch with him.
She went upstairs with ease, a bouquet of flowers hidden behind her. Because of the opening of the new store, Lu Yanzhi called her several times and asked her to go back for dinner, only then did she feel hungry.
She cared very little about him, although he never said anything. Instead, he always asked her if she was tired and massaged her shoulders and legs.
Zhou Qingti felt that she had been spoiled and pampered by him.
A lot of things in the new store were done by others for money, but when she opened her first store, she did a lot of things herself and learned if she didn't know how.
She does everything herself, including grouting tiles, assembling shelves, cleaning, and organizing the warehouse.
At that time, I never complained about the hard work. It turns out that love makes people become delicate.
She decided to start making it up to him now.
I knocked on the office door, and a voice came out without emotion: "Come in."
Zhou Qingti pushed the door open and walked in: "Mr. Lu, are you tired from work? Can I give you a shoulder massage?"
When Lu Yanzhi saw that it was her, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "Why are you here? I was thinking of going home to have dinner with you later."
Zhou Qingti walked over and took out the flowers from behind: "I'm here to give you flowers. You've worked hard at work."
Lu Yanzhi took it with surprise: "This is the third time I have received flowers from you." The first time was his birthday, and the second time was a potted jasmine, which is still growing healthily on his desk.
"Do you like it?" The overall color of the bouquet is blue and white, quite youthful.
"I like it." Lu Yanzhi placed the flowers on the desk and pulled her to sit on his lap. "It's a gift from my wife, so there's no reason not to like it."
Zhou Qingti rewarded him with a light kiss. If it were at home, Lu Yanzhi would definitely deepen the kiss, but in the office he was much more restrained.
"By the way, our first wedding anniversary is coming soon. How do you want to celebrate it?" Lu Yanzhi hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Going on a trip?" We were originally planning to go in March or April.
"Okay, where do you want to go?"
"Let's discuss it slowly when we get home tonight. I'm hungry." Zhou Qingti came without having breakfast, and his stomach was growling with hunger.
Lu Yanzhi let her go: "Then let's go eat first. Is there anything you want to eat?"
Zhou Qingti remembered that he had said before that he would take him to eat more delicious food that he had eaten before, so he suggested: "I'll take you to a Jiangxi restaurant that I often eat at. It's a little spicy."
"Ask the boss to stir-fry it slightly spicy."
He wasn't as good at tasting spicy food as Zhou Qingti, but Zhou Qingti still found the Jiangxi cuisine spicy.
Zhou Qingti took him to the place where they were having dinner, and the air was filled with the aroma and spicy taste of rice.
This restaurant is not a high-end private restaurant, it is just an ordinary small restaurant.
Zhou Qingti took him to a private room and showed him the plastic menu on the table: "Take a look at what you want to eat. It's my treat."
Lu Yanzhi took it with a smile: "Then I won't be polite."
The menu was so densely packed that it was dizzying. Lu Yanzhi gave up the right to order and handed it to her: "You are more familiar with it, so you order."
Zhou Qingti called the waiter over and skillfully ordered a few dishes: "Jiangxi fried rice noodles, edamame fried tofu, stir-fried yellow beef, a bowl of farmhouse fragrant, and two servings of rice."
I also specifically told the waiter: "Don't make the food too spicy, thank you."
It wasn't lunchtime for the office workers yet. The dishes arrived quickly. Lu Yanzhi took a few bites and found them a bit spicy, but he tolerated them well.
Jiangxi cuisine is mainly eaten with rice. A bowl of rice can be finished very quickly, and the fried rice noodles are different from any noodles he has eaten before.
"Fried rice noodles are the most delicious." Lu Yanzhi added another bowl of fried rice noodles.
The aroma of eggs and minced meat wraps around the chewy rice noodles, and the crispy bean sprouts and rice noodles complement each other, overflowing with freshness and fragrance.
Lu Yanzhi accidentally ate too much, and Zhou Qingti also ate quite a bit.
Zhou Qingti also kindly told him: "Drink more water in the afternoon. Eating oily and salty dishes will make you thirsty."
…
In late spring and early summer, the weather is a bit stuffy, and Zhou Qingti sometimes takes the lucky charms to the table and lets them crawl around.
Sometimes a small obstacle is placed in front of them.
Lu Yanzhi looked at Zhou Qingti who was carefully observing the turtle and found it funny: "Do you remember observing ants like this when you were a child? You are exactly like an elementary school student now."
"You said I was a primary school student?" Zhou Qingti glared at him and he immediately changed his words: "No, you have such a good figure, how can you be a primary school student."
Before Zhou Qingti could say anything, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at the number before answering it.
Lu Yanzhi's call was quick, ending in a few seconds. Zhou Qingti leaned over the table and asked, "Who is it?"
"Wedding photo shoot, send the photo album over."
