Chapter 235 Hot Pot Restaurant Opening
The two of them walked around the store, and then Yao Wenyin looked at the door and said, "Have you thought of a name for the sign?"
Su Heng really didn't have time to think about it.
She originally wanted to just call it Chongqing Hotpot, but if she did that, if someone else also opened a hotpot restaurant in the future, wouldn’t there be no distinction?
Yao Wenyin also meant this: "If you open a shop, you have to make a name for yourself. Your clothing store doesn't have a sign, right?"
Su Heng nodded. She was too busy at the time and had no time to take care of it.
"Think about it carefully and hang up the sign before opening." Yao Wenyin said with a smile.
The food tasting happened to be at noon, so Lu Mingchuan and Su Jing came to eat together.
She told Lu Mingchuan about this. After all, it was a brand name, so the two of them should discuss it together.
In fact, the naming skills of both of them were a bit tearful, but unexpectedly, after Lu Mingchuan pondered for a moment, he said: "How about calling him Hengchuan?"
They will have more stores in the future, and his and Su Heng's names will always be listed together.
This is Lu Mingchuan’s little thought.
Su Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "Not bad, Comrade Xiao Lu, I think it sounds good."
Su Jing raised her eyebrows when she heard that. It was indeed good, her sister's name was in front.
He immediately said, "It sounds pretty good."
Yao Wenyin certainly had no objection. It was most appropriate to use the name of the young couple for the store they opened.
"Then find someone to make the sign and hang it up as soon as possible."
After everything was discussed, the hot pot was served.
I have to say that professional chefs are indeed different. Su Heng feels that the base of this pot smells much more fragrant than his own.
Although time was short to prepare the braised food, the fried meatballs were cooked to a very high standard, with a crispy outer skin and juicy inner part.
The marinated meat slices were also very tender and smooth. More than a dozen dishes were served one by one. Su Heng decided to hire him the moment she took the first bite.
This hot pot is much more delicious than the one I make myself!
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Yao Wenyin was old and couldn't eat spicy food, but Su Heng had been helping the two elderly people to maintain their health.
With the long-term nourishment of supernatural powers, although aging is still irreversible, minor illnesses have completely disappeared and his physical condition is very good.
Chef Hao also listened to Su Heng's advice and took into account that people in different regions have different tolerances to spicy food, so the hot pot is not really as spicy as that in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions.
So everyone accepted the food well. It was spicy, but at the same time they could taste the aroma of the food itself. It was not so spicy that their tongues would burn, and they could not taste anything other than the spiciness.
With the unanimous vote of the four people, Chef Hao was officially hired, and Su Heng immediately took him to confirm all the dishes.
Lu Mingchuan was going to add a freezer to the store because hot pot required a lot of fresh meat and vegetables, which could not be stored without a freezer.
He ran around a lot before he bought a freezer with the right capacity, as electrical appliances were generally expensive at that time.
The freezer has much more storage space than the refrigerator. This freezer cost fifteen thousand yuan.
After buying the freezer, I asked someone to make a sign for me on an expedited basis, which cost me dozens of dollars.
In the evening, I went home with Su Heng to check the accounts and found that even though the initial investment in opening the store was a bit large, it was nothing compared to the returns.
Before opening the store, their savings were just over 50,000 yuan. After buying a car last year, their savings have been slowly increasing thanks to Lu Mingchuan's sports car.
After opening the first clothing store this year, my deposits grew rapidly, with a net profit of 7,000 yuan in the first month and 8,000 yuan in the second month.
Although there are now clothing stores on that street competing for business, the styles and quality of the clothes are far inferior to theirs.
Because that store opened in a hurry and had a small storefront, even though it sold products cheaper than theirs, it didn't steal many customers.
With the profit from the clothing store plus the shipping costs of Lu Mingchuan and Su Jing's sports car running back and forth to pick up orders, the original deposit suddenly soared to more than 70,000.
However, Su Heng bought a shop, and with the money for the freezer, his savings dropped back to less than 70,000.
Su Heng had high hopes for the hot pot restaurant. She bought a shop, renovated it, and added a freezer, which cost her nearly 6,000 yuan.
However, the restaurants on this street are doing very well, so how bad can the hot pot restaurant be?
This is the capital! She didn't believe that with such a large flow of people, as the only Sichuan hot pot restaurant on this street, she couldn't make money.
"We'll have to hurry south once the hot pot restaurant opens."
It’s early April now and the policy will be released in July, so they have to get through it quickly.
Lu Mingchuan naturally had no objection.
While waiting for the signboard, Su Heng hired four young employees for the hot pot restaurant, two men and two women.
Since we all know how to cook, it’s no problem for us to help cut vegetables and prepare food when we’re busy.
There are dozens of tables on the two floors of the hot pot restaurant. She plans to hire more people if the business is good in the future.
Su Heng pays high salaries, and the uniform requirement for waiters is that they must have a good service attitude, and secondly, they must wear a uniform hooded apron and keep themselves clean and tidy.
After a few days of simple training and with the help of cash, the signboard was quickly completed.
The two words "Hengchuan" are a separate signboard, and the words "Clothing Store" and "Hot Pot Restaurant" are another signboard. The two words "Hengchuan" are slightly larger and are in a majestic regular script font.
The signs of both stores were hung up, and several large light bulbs were hung on the sign of the hot pot restaurant. Before opening, the sign of the hot pot restaurant was covered with red cloth.
Su Heng tried it in advance. When the light bulb was turned on at night, her hot pot restaurant was simply the brightest spot on the street!
The hot pot restaurant finally opened on a weekend in mid-April.
As the red cloth was lifted and firecrackers were lit, the attention of passers-by was attracted.
Seeing the same sign as the most popular clothing store on this street, people who have bought clothes there will be more or less curious to come over and take a look.
Su Heng called her friends and roommates in advance to have some fun no matter how business was.
There was a private room upstairs separated by a screen, but since there were so many of them and they sat at three or four tables, they simply used the screen to enclose a large private room.
The people in 305 have not yet recovered from the shock of finding out that my roommate from the countryside is a rich woman.
Last time, Su Heng from the clothing store was planning to hire a few people to act as the atmosphere group, but the business was so booming that she didn't mention it again.
This time, after opening a hotpot restaurant, Su Heng felt guilty about the many weekend gatherings she had missed, so she called everyone over.
"Everyone, eat as much as you want. All the expenses today will be paid for by our store manager!" Su Heng said proudly.
Dou Ning was very considerate and cheered, "Then we won't be polite!"
The others also laughed and joked. Lu Hong and the others, who were originally a little embarrassed, were infected and relaxed a lot.
There were some ice cubes in the freezer. Su Heng poured the ice cubes into the sour plum soup that had been prepared in advance and asked everyone to pour it themselves.
The store also wholesaled some soda, and when she went downstairs to get it, she found that there were several tables of customers on the first floor, looking at the menu curiously.
The waiters explained the characteristics of the dishes to the customers in a soft voice. The customers who came in originally thought that the dishes were a bit expensive.
Su Heng’s price was based on the mutton hotpot across the street, but her hotpot base is made of butter, so the base is charged extra, and the overall price is slightly more expensive than the mutton hotpot.
But she has a lot of variety here, with dishes that are fried, braised, and boiled, and the aroma is particularly overbearing.
Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen, the customer who had just thought the food was expensive could no longer move and had to sit down and order.
There's no way, this fragrance is just too overbearing.
You have to try it to see what it tastes like.
