Thinking of the little things they had experienced together over the years, Yuan Jianing couldn't help but burst into tears. She told herself that after crying this time, she should let everything in the past go with the wind.

A few days after Lu Yichen sent his wife and children back to the Luo family, the police station had a case and needed him to lead a manhunt. Unexpectedly, he would be away for more than a month.

Luo Qiao had a big cart made for her. Every day when she had nothing to do, she and her grandmother would push the children to the square in front for a stroll. The two children were very well-behaved. The twin boy and girl from her third brother's family would stay by the cart and call them their sister when they had nothing to do.

Looking at the two babies with rolling eyes, she plans to add complementary food to them at the end of next month. After all, they cannot stay at home all the time after school starts. Besides, they will be five months old by the end of August, and her milk is indeed not enough for the two children.

That day, Luo Qiao settled the children and went to Jinyuan, taking with her a menu of eight dishes that she had written in advance. In the past two years, many restaurants have been opened in Beijing, and there has been competition, so it is time to introduce new dishes.

When Luo Qiao arrived, the lobby was busy in an orderly manner, so Luo Qiao went straight to the office upstairs.

I knocked on the door and heard someone say, "Come in."

Luo Qiao then pushed the door open and saw Han Yuchen and Xiao Jingyu both there. It was obvious that they were discussing something, with tea sets in front of them.

Xiao Jingyu stood up: "What kind of wind blew the busy man here today?"

Han Yuchen helped her pull out the chair next to her. Luo Qiao sat down and put the things in her hands on the table: "I heard that our bookings have decreased in the past few months, and some have even canceled their orders."

Xiao Jingyu put away the joke on his face: "Yes, in the past six months or so, many restaurants of similar size to ours have opened in the city, each with its own characteristics. Our dishes do taste good, but after a long time, those customers may want to change their taste."

Luo Qiao nodded: "You are right, but even if it is a change of taste, I don't want them to change the place."

Han Yuchen and Xiao Jingyu both looked over, and Luo Qiao pointed to the recipe on the table: "This is the counterattack secret I prepared for you."

Xiao Jingyu reached out and picked up the paper, and showed a few sheets to Han Yuchen. When they saw what was on it, they both laughed. Xiao Jingyu gave a thumbs up and said, "Luo Qiao, you are really our lucky star."

Xiao Jingyu said: "It's really because the prices of those larger restaurants are much cheaper than ours, and the dishes are different from ours, so we can understand why they run away with the bill."

Luo Qiao said: "I have been too busy recently and neglected this matter, but the enthusiasm of the kitchen staff to develop new dishes should not be dampened. I can reward them generously in the future."

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, “It seems that the three of us still have some tacit understanding.”

The three of them laughed at the same time.

Luo Qiao picked up the water on the table and asked, "Is the hot pot restaurant affected?"

Han Yuchen said: "There is not much impact over there. I listened to your advice and spent a lot of money to install air conditioners and exhaust fans. Business is better now."

Xiao Jingyu interjected: "No matter how much you say, it's all because of the quality of our dishes. The taste is really many times better than other restaurants."

Luo Qiao tapped her fingers on the handle of the chair. "For all branches and hot pot restaurants of Jinyuan, I suggest that starting from next month, the prices of all dishes should be increased by 2 percentage points from the original basis, and there should be a 30% discount for tasting new dishes."

Han Yuchen said, "I think it's feasible. Our vegetable prices have not increased since we opened the store. We can write a notice and post it at the same time to announce these two things."

After they discussed the details, Luo Qiao stood up and prepared to leave.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Luo Qiao didn't let the two of them send her off, and went downstairs by herself. When she reached the lobby on the first floor, she happened to run into her former classmate Di Manning. Luo Qiao didn't have a good impression of this guy, he was simply a troublemaker.
