Chapter 131 The Door Finally Opens After Much Anticipation
Seeing that Gu Qingshi was closed, it was boring for Brother Qian to stay there, so he went home to celebrate the New Year comfortably. After the New Year, he came to inspect the results.
He had not contacted Boss Chen in advance. It was dinner time when he arrived. He thought the place was packed with guests, but in fact there were only a few people eating there. In addition, there were noodles and brown sugar placed at the door as gifts for eating.
Brother Qian frowned as soon as he saw it, "What's going on? Didn't they say they would stop delivering it? Why are they still delivering it? And where are the guests? Why are there so few people?"
When Boss Chen saw Brother Qian, he felt like he had found a savior. He quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother Qian, this is still a lot today. We have had fewer and fewer customers in the past few days. I was forced to continue giving out these gifts. I just want to attract customers back."
“Why is the business suddenly bad and the taste has changed?”
"No, the taste hasn't changed, it's just as good, and I've kept the ingredients the same as before."
"Then why did it become like this?" Brother Qian frowned, and happened to see that the door of Gu's Kitchen opposite was still closed, but there were people gathered at the door, and they seemed to be talking about something excitedly.
Seeing that Gu's Kitchen was still closed, Brother Qian's expression finally improved a little. "What's going on across the street? Why are there so many people gathered before the door even opens? Are they in trouble?"
Boss Chen looked unhappy when he heard this. He hesitated and seemed to find it difficult to speak. "No."
"No? Then why? Stop hesitating and tell me." Brother Qian was impatient.
Boss Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qian, they are collecting everyone's names and handprints, and want to ask Gu Qingshi to open the door."
Boss Chen almost said the last sentence with his eyes closed. Looking at the excited expressions on the other side, you can tell that they must have collected signatures from a hundred people, so they are excited.
"What? Why don't I understand what you are saying?" Brother Qian frowned.
At this point, Boss Chen naturally told the whole situation honestly.
"Everyone was like crazy, begging Gu Qingshi to open the door. When Gu Qingshi said she would wait for someone to beg, I laughed at her, but..."
“How could this happen!” Brother Qian was shocked and furious. He came back intending to completely get rid of Gu Qingshi, but how did it turn out like this?
"Have they been given some kind of drug? Or have they added something bad to the food?"
"No." Boss Chen requested with difficulty, "Brother Qian, I have had your suspicions before, but I have checked them all and their dishes are fine. Although I have not eaten their dishes much and do not know the details, according to the results of the previous hospital examination and what they said, Gu's Kitchen's dishes do seem to be good for the body."
"Impossible!" Brother Qian, who is very knowledgeable, doesn't believe it. "If vegetables can have such an effect, then it must be medicine, and a medicine with special effects. If it really has such an effect, how can they sell it so cheaply? Maybe Gu Qingshi did something, or maybe she hired someone to act out the story so that she can save face."
Boss Chen was worried. He had fought with Gu Qingshi twice, and he was also an old man in the county town. He knew those people outside. They were basically ordinary office workers and he knew them well. It was impossible for them to act or something.
Calm down, Boss Chen was actually forced to accept that Gu’s Kitchen’s dishes might really be that magical.
But he could see that Brother Qian didn't want to believe it, and deep down he didn't want to believe it either. What if it wasn't true?
With this thought in mind, Boss Chen stopped arguing, "I think so too. So, Brother Qian, what should we do next?"
Brother Qian ordered the dishes first, confirmed that the taste had not changed, and finally thought about it and said, "Continue the gift, and add eggs."
Everyone has the instinct to take advantage, and no one can refuse. "As long as they come into the store and eat, in addition to the brown sugar noodles, everyone can get an egg. I don't believe they won't come!"
After the news spread, Chen's Kitchen finally became lively again. But upon closer inspection, something strange was discovered. There was a large table of people, and more than a dozen elderly people came in, ordered a vegetarian dish and a soup, and then took their food and left?
What they ate was not even enough to pay for the eggs!
Brother Qian is good at calculating, but I didn’t expect these people to be even better at it.
These people received noodles and eggs, and walked across the street leisurely, carrying the things they had received from Chen's Kitchen. Some signed, some put their fingerprints, and some shouted at Gu's Kitchen to open the door. They went to Chen's Kitchen just to get a bargain.
Brother Qian almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "How could they do this? How could they be so shameless!"
Boss Chen: "Calm down, they are just like that." They are always so shameless.
In the end, Brother Qian just watched as everyone really took those signatures and begged Gu Qingshi to open the door.
Gu Qing pretended to be serious, and finally seeing that everyone was really sincere and Bai Yang was almost back, he finally nodded and agreed to open the store on the 20th of the first lunar month.
On the 20th, after much anticipation, Gu's Kitchen reopened. Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, people were waiting since early morning. As soon as the door opened, everyone rushed in. Those who came later had to queue up. The restaurant was packed with people.
Gu’s Kitchen is very bustling, in sharp contrast to Gu’s Kitchen is Chen’s Kitchen across the street.
Chen's Kitchen said that as long as you come in, you will get egg noodles and brown sugar, but except for a few people who came, everyone else went across the street.
After giving gifts for a long time, they don’t seem to be so rare anymore, and people always say they will give them tomorrow.
In less than a month, the positions on both sides were completely reversed.
Boss Chen's face was gloomy, and Brother Qian's face turned blue with anger. Then he suddenly stood up and went straight to find Gu Qingshi.
"Gu Qingshi, you are so resourceful."
The angrier they got, the more nonchalantly Gu Qingshi smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. I can't compare to you two."
"you"
"What's wrong with me? By the way, I should say thank you to both of you, because it's because of you that Chen's Kitchen reminded everyone of the irreplaceability of our Gu's Kitchen. I believe they will always remember this and be impressed. No matter how many people come to get free food, they won't run away so thoroughly again."
Gu Qingshi smiled, but this smile was extremely dazzling in Brother Qian's eyes, "Okay, okay, Gu Qingshi, do you think I will give up? I won't, let's wait and see!"
Brother Qian left in a rage. Anyway, he was not short of money. Even if there were few customers, he could hold on. He would definitely find a way to defeat Gu Qingshi.
Brother Qian’s plan was very good, but the chefs refused to work on it. It was not a good idea for them to just sit there doing nothing without customers. Having no customers meant they were incompetent. How could they face people if this got out?
They were all well-known figures, how could they lose to a young boy? Absolutely not!
How their boss fights has nothing to do with them, but it is obvious that they are not used to the environment here and they have to leave.
