Chapter 126 An Unprecedented Crisis
Bai Yang was anxious, and so were his aunt and the others. "Yeah, what should we do? So many people are eating for free, are they crazy?"
It's their business if they are crazy, but it affects their business.
"Just treat it as a day off. Everyone likes free things. If it weren't for my special status, I would have wanted to go and eat. I heard there is a chef." Gu Qingshi was not in a hurry.
"You kid." Aunt patted Gu Qingshi.
Gu Qingshi and the others were standing at the door looking across. Brother Qian was sitting on the second floor admiring the embarrassment of Gu's Kitchen. He was waiting to see Gu Qingshi's angry face, but he never waited for it.
Gu Qingshi seemed very relaxed, and later he just started to crack melon seeds. Several people were cracking melon seeds at the door and watching the fun, as if they didn't care at all.
After watching the excitement for a while, Gu Qingshi went to work in her factory nearby and never came back.
Brother Qian was a little unhappy because he didn't see the scene he expected. Boss Chen brought the plates up himself. He was in high spirits, but when facing Brother Qian, who invested in him to open the store, he was very humble. After asking Brother Qian the reason, he persuaded Brother Qian.
"Brother Qian, don't be fooled by her. She appears calm on the surface, but she doesn't show it because she wants to save face. I'm afraid she would cry when no one is around."
It was true. Brother Qian imagined Gu Qingshi crying out of anger and finally felt happy.
Boss Chen was also happy to see that he was happy. Although they didn't spend much time together, Boss Chen had figured out Brother Qian's temper and what he liked to hear.
Although many people said that he was spineless and only cared about studying all day long, he relied on his ability to study and made a comeback with the help of Brother Qian.
Relying on the abilities that they looked down upon, he really found a way out and started over.
On the first day of opening, most of the people in the county, including those who came to the market, ate at Chen's Kitchen. On the first day of opening, the queues lasted until late at night, and money was spent like water, with people purchasing ingredients four times in a row.
But the first shot was really a success. Soon the next day, many people still came to Chen's Kitchen to ask if they could still eat for free.
The free meals are no longer available, but Chen’s Kitchen has launched a new activity, which is to give gifts to anyone who comes in to eat. The gifts include brown sugar and noodles, you can choose whatever you want, as long as you make any purchase.
If you spend more than ten yuan, you can get brown sugar noodles for free.
Noodles and brown sugar are good things these days. When they heard that everyone was going out again, many elderly people came to line up, planning to eat less to receive the gifts.
I had eaten there yesterday and saw there was a promotion, so I went in and ate again without hesitation.
The main thing is that Boss Chen and his team really used their best tricks this time. The ingredients are fresh, and they have really invited great chefs. The reason why chefs are called great chefs is that they are different. They all have the ability to turn ordinary things into something magical.
They are willing to spend money to make things, and they have good craftsmanship, so the food is really delicious. There are also many flavors that people have never tasted before, so everyone is attracted, not to mention that there are gifts for free.
The dishes at Gu’s Kitchen are delicious, but we’ve been eating them for a while now. No matter how delicious something is, it’s no longer a savory dish after eating it too much. So everyone goes to try Chen’s Kitchen.
Gu's Kitchen was closed yesterday, but it finally opened today. However, the business was not as good as before, and all the customers left.
Aunt Bai Yang was getting a little anxious, "Qing Shi, how about we send something as well?"
Gu Qingshi thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, if I give it to them, it will be exactly what they want."
"So we're just going to watch?"
"Well, let's take a look first." Gu Qingshi nodded. They couldn't act rashly.
But in the next three days, the opening event across the street didn’t stop, and they kept giving away gifts. My aunt was shocked when she saw it. “They’re still giving away gifts. Are they crazy? They have free food and gifts. How much brown sugar and noodles must they have given away in so many days? Aren’t they afraid of losing money?”
"They don't lack money, that's why I said we won't send it, we can't send it as much as they can."
"What should we do? Are we just going to let them take away our business?"
Before Gu Qingshi could speak, Grandpa Li, a rare guest, comforted them, "Don't worry, it will only take a while. Your dishes are better and good for your health. Theirs are just ordinary dishes."
After this period of recuperation, Grandpa Li’s constipation and hemorrhoids have improved a lot. He doesn’t need to come every day to eat, just every three or five days is enough.
For this reason alone, Grandpa Li also strongly supports Gu’s Kitchen, but after he finished speaking, he also revealed a reality - he has been to Chen’s Kitchen.
Facing his aunt's gaze, Grandpa Li felt a little embarrassed because he had been given free things before and he had been dragged by an old friend to eat across the street.
He felt a little embarrassed, but Gu Qingshi didn't care and even thanked him.
Grandpa Li was right, her space dishes were irreplaceable, but it was a fact that they had run away, and it was also a fact that they could not compete with the opponent.
After all, they have little financial resources and cannot match the financial strength of Chen's Kitchen, but they are willing to spend a lot of money.
Bai Yang had been listening to the other side bragging about the chef. As a chef of Gu's kitchen, he felt very uncomfortable and miserable every day. Finally, he couldn't help it and disguised himself to go to the other side to gather information and see how powerful the chef was.
As soon as he arrived at Baiyang, he was hit hard, because a chef is a chef, and compared to them, he was really much worse.
Bai Yang was already shocked, and he was recognized by someone. "Hey, isn't this Chef Bai Yang from Gu's Kitchen? It's a great honor for you to come to our restaurant. Come and take a seat."
In fact, Boss Chen had recognized him a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't call out. He waited until Bai Yang finished eating before he greeted him teasingly, looking at the empty plate.
Bai Yang felt that he had embarrassed Gu Qingshi and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Boss Chen, "Chef Bai, it's rare for you to come, please give us some advice. Our brother Qian was very happy to hear that you were here, and he is waiting to hear your advice."
"I don't have any suggestions." Bai Yang's face turned red, and he felt panicked and ashamed, but Boss Chen would not let him go and dragged him to see Brother Qian.
"Brother Qian, this is the chef of Gu's Kitchen across the street."
"I know, I've seen him. Sit down, Chef Bai."
Brother Qian motioned Bai Yang to sit down, "Don't be afraid, it's our honor to have you eat at our restaurant."
"I don't have any suggestions. Your chef is very good, but I will become great in the future!" Bai Yang didn't want to embarrass Gu's chef in public, so he raised his neck and said firmly.
Brother Qian laughed, "You are quite ambitious, but what can we do? You don't have any guests at home."
Bai Yang was so angry, "You are shameless!"
"How am I shameless? Doing business is all about relying on one's own ability." Brother Qian could clearly see Bai Yang like this, with three parts of pride and four parts of pity in his eyes.
"Don't be too angry, young man. This is not your fault. You can't beat us, and it's not your fault. I met you today because I want you to tell Boss Gu a message."
"What?" Bai Yang asked alertly.
"Tell her to stop holding on and admit defeat. I have no shortage of money. She can't beat me in terms of financial resources, let alone connections and background. We are not even an open opponent at all."
