I slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
The crowing of roosters in the town was rare. After many days of training, getting up early had become a habit for Tian Sangui.
Unlike at home, children in the store can't sleep in until they naturally wake up.
Perhaps it was because of the change of environment, the two little ones did not cry or fuss, and were full of energy as Zhang dressed them. When they were dressed quickly, they did not forget to make a face at Tian Sangui to show their victory.
As a result, they fell victim to Tian Sangui's cruel clutches, and both of their chubby faces were squeezed and kneaded.
With improved nutrition recently, the little ones' faces have gradually become smooth and round, and their skin is as tender as a baby's, feeling extremely comfortable to the touch.
The biggest changes were in Tian Da and Tian Er, who had grown considerably taller, but they still looked skin and bones. Zhang said it was normal, that boys were growing taller and that's how they were, and that they wouldn't get fat no matter how much they ate.
Tian Sangui remained skeptical and secretly began to ponder the nutritional meal plan.
Starting today, we'll buy ingredients and order a signboard; the menu will also need to be written out by the husband.
The family continued with their usual division of labor. The fourth and fifth children were sent to play in the backyard by Zhang. When things got busy, no one was watching them, and it would be a very troublesome situation if they got lost.
When Tian Laosi arrived at the construction site, he was greeted by several colleagues who put their arms around each other and started talking.
"Hey bro, why isn't your breakfast stall open? We haven't had roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) for two days, we're going crazy craving it! What happened?"
"Brother, you're being a bit unfair. You let us enjoy the food, and then you suddenly stopped making it. Now I can't taste anything in my mouth these past two days."
"Did something happen at home?"
Otherwise, they shouldn't have turned down such a good business opportunity.
Hearing his coworkers' feedback, Tian Laosi smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Everyone, it's not that we don't want to set up shop, it's just that my daughter has been busy with the shop lately. It will be open in a couple of days, so please come and support us!"
The area in front of the construction site was deserted, especially early in the morning. The echoes of voices were constant, and all the workers at the gate could clearly hear the good news of the opening.
"Oh my, I knew it! They couldn't possibly be giving up such a good business. Turns out they've opened a shop and become big bosses."
Upon hearing this, his fellow workers were even more excited than Tian Laosi. They applauded him on the spot and said expectantly, "The location you mentioned isn't far from our construction site. Let us know when it opens, and we'll go support your daughter."
"Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely notify you in advance."
"Oh, put everything else aside, you absolutely have to have roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), I'm drooling over the smell."
"No problem, I'll definitely have my daughter prepare plenty so that everyone can have roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)."
Tian Laosi's words were like a reassurance to the workers, filling them with anticipation and making them eager for the business to open the next day.
Tian Sangui led the donkey cart to the market. At this time, the sky began to brighten, and the morning light slowly rose from the clouds, radiating a soft glow.
She needs some vegetables from the market to complement the dishes in the space, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Only when the donkey cart was fully loaded did they lead it back to the shop.
Passing by Tongfu Restaurant, a man in gray was standing outside, squinting in the morning light, shaking his head up, down, left, and right to confirm that the person pulling the cart was an acquaintance.
"Miss Tian, I spotted you from afar! What brings you here...?"
When Tian Sangui approached, Steward Li finally confirmed it was her and greeted her warmly.
He pointed to the car full of things behind her and asked.
"Oh, I rented a shop near the school in front. These are the ingredients I prepared."
They're all on the same street. Even if she doesn't say anything, they'll find out on opening day anyway. Rather than being accused of being dishonest later, it's better to inform them openly beforehand.
"This looks like a restaurant! I, Old Li, congratulate Miss Tian on her grand opening and wish her business great success!"
Manager Li congratulated Tian Sangui with a sincere smile and bowed respectfully to her.
"Haha, thank you very much, Manager Li. I'll take your kind words with me."
People who have seen the world will naturally not be stingy with her. After all, she runs a large restaurant while he runs a small eatery. Their personalities are completely different, so there is no need for them to be reserved with each other.
Seeing her politeness, Manager Li leaned back and laughed heartily before getting to the point.
"The Spicy and Sour Jade Green Tea is currently in short supply. I wonder if Miss Tian has made it at home? The restaurant only has one jar left, and it looks like it will be sold out tomorrow."
Manager Li frowned as he thought about this. Why didn't Tian Sangui make some of these vegetables that sold so well? It would be best if he could prepare a hundred jars for them, enough for a whole month's sales.
"I know Manager Li is anxious, but it will only be three days from now, and the food won't be delivered until the day after tomorrow. We can't rush this, or there will be problems."
Hearing that the sales of pickled cabbage were only increasing, no one could be happier than her. She also wanted to deliver the goods as soon as possible, but the time had to be strictly controlled, otherwise the consequence would be ruining her own reputation.
In the end, it will only result in more harm than good.
After hearing this, Manager Li's headache worsened. He was already getting blisters on his lips from dealing with those customers every day; what was he going to do tomorrow?
Seeing him squatting on the ground with a melancholy look on his face, Tian Sangui also tried to think of a solution for Steward Li.
"By the way, Manager Li, I have a suggestion. Let me know if it will work."
You could offer a limited-edition White Jadeite drink, with a limit of two small dishes per person. If someone wants more, they'll have to wait until tomorrow. This would create anticipation for diners and stimulate their spending.
As the saying goes, the more unattainable something is, the more desirable it becomes, thus fueling a competitive spirit. How about that?
Manager Li immediately stood up, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.
Wouldn't that solve his headache?
"However, if this continues, it might affect Ms. Yu Tian's end-of-month bonus."
"No, this plan is set for the restaurant's event dates, with prices lowered by one level. This way, it won't cause any complaints from diners, and it will also create a sense of novelty, allowing guests to experience more enjoyment."
Once I restock, the price will return to normal. This promotion can be run on the last day of every month from now on!
Upon hearing this, Steward Li's spirits lifted. How could he not have thought of this method? He had lived for forty years and was still inferior to a little girl of a few years old. He had truly wasted his life.
“I am deeply impressed. If Miss Tian ever needs my help in the future, please feel free to come to Tongfu Restaurant to find me. I will do my best to help you.”
See, he's gained connections now. Tian Sangui's eyes crinkled into crescent moons. With Manager Li's words, his future path has become even wider.
"I, Tian Sangui, will keep Uncle Li's words in mind and will definitely ask for your help in the future!"
"Haha, I couldn't be happier! Let me know when you open, and Uncle Li will come and support you!"
"Alright, San Gui, I'll take my leave now!"
After saying goodbye to Manager Li, Tian Sangui hummed a little tune and skipped back to his small shop.
