Chapter 541 People from the Town Who Came to Help
Over the next few days, Wan Qiqi shuttled between home and the restaurant, almost forgetting her promise to the child.
It was only after Wu Gousheng reminded her that Wan Qiqi remembered.
However, Wan Qiqi couldn't get away, so she handed the task over to Wu Gousheng and brought some new gadgets back to town.
The new building of Xinglong Restaurant has been completely renovated and is no longer the same as when Wan Qiqi first arrived.
The restaurant's signboard was also customized and hung up.
The second-floor terrace is furnished with tables and chairs, and the railings are decorated in various ways, making it look like a modern terrace for afternoon tea.
If it weren't for the fact that colored lanterns didn't exist in ancient times, Wan Qiqi would have simply hung them on the makeshift shed instead of using homemade wind chimes.
Not only that, next to the private room, there was a small wooden shed with a counter underneath, as if they were selling something.
Passersby who saw the second-floor terrace couldn't help but wonder what Xinglong Restaurant was up to.
Wan Qiqi's goal was actually quite simple: to turn the second-floor terrace into a place for afternoon tea.
That counter is the operating room.
There is actually a low door in the control room that leads directly to the corridor on the second floor, which is very convenient.
At the end of the second-floor corridor, there is also a door, which allows guests inside to go out to sit on the terrace, and also allows guests in the open-air area to come in.
Of course, the entrance from the first floor to the second-floor terrace was sealed off to prevent petty theft.
In addition, the restaurant has undergone tremendous changes.
There are no extravagant decorations, only simple yet elegant furnishings.
The first floor was already filled with chairs, making it look neat and clean.
The private rooms on the second floor are decorated with different themes, such as plum blossoms, orchids, and bamboo...
Each theme has its own significance and characteristics, which is what Wan Qiqi has always insisted on.
If there's anything different, it's the five private rooms on the third floor. Both the tables, chairs, and decorations are different from the other places.
Wan Qiqi uses a Chinese-style round table with a turntable, and the whole set of chairs can seat twenty people.
The two private rooms on the other side are furnished with daybeds, low square tables, and tea-making tools, creating a distinctly relaxed atmosphere.
The setup didn't take long because everything was already decided in the beginning, and adjustments were made based on the current situation.
Once these large items are in place, the smaller items can be added gradually.
Just like in town, after setting up the tables and chairs, the restaurant began a thorough cleaning, sweeping every visible area inside and out.
At the same time, in addition to the people who came to recruit, people from the town who were training also came.
Erpang followed behind Leizi, looking around and finding everything new and interesting.
Zhu Youcai was settling the expenses of the past few days and the restaurant's opening forecast when he saw the guests coming in. He stepped away from the counter and said in a gentle voice, "Gentlemen, are you from town?"
Erpang then turned his gaze to the person walking over from behind the counter and said, "Yes, are you the branch's accountant?"
"Yes, I am Zhu Youcai, the accountant of the Yunhe County store." After saying this, Zhu Youcai looked around and, not seeing the two owners, said, "My brother and Manager Wan are probably on the third floor. You can go up and look for them!"
He seemed quite at ease with the three people who came, and none of them suspected that there might be any problems with them.
"It's alright, let's take a look around first. Is the kitchen in the backyard?" Lei Zi was only concerned about the kitchen.
Previously, Panda was in charge of the restaurant's dishes. Now, he was asked to lead Feng Qing and two other novices in cooking. He was actually a little flustered, afraid that he would not do a good job and would disappoint Manager Wan's expectations.
Therefore, he came here thinking he would familiarize himself with the environment first before meeting Manager Wan.
Zhu Youcai didn't think much of it and pointed in a direction.
Lei Zi led Feng Qing to the kitchen, and Er Pang followed along to familiarize themselves with the new restaurant's environment.
The hall alone is several times the size of the one in town, and it has three floors. It's enough to keep you busy delivering groceries!
However, such a large restaurant is more in line with the size of Yunhe County.
The three of them went to the kitchen with great interest.
The kitchen was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, but when they saw three people burst in through the door, they froze on the spot, seemingly not understanding why three people had suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?" Hong Tian asked blankly.
Lei Zi didn't answer. He glanced at the people standing inside and asked, "Who's in charge of the kitchen?"
At that moment, someone timidly raised their hand and said, "It's me."
His voice was also somewhat weak, making one wonder if he could even flip a pot.
It's not that this person is weak, it's that Lei Zi has too much of an imposing presence and looks too rugged, making him look like he's here to cause trouble.
Feng Qing seemed to sense that something was wrong, so she stepped forward, smiled, and said, "We're from Hefeng Town. I'm Feng Qing, this is Lei Zi, and this is Erpang."
His innocent and pure demeanor contrasted sharply with Lei Zi's, like a little white rabbit standing next to a big bad wolf, making people hold their breath in suspense for him.
Before anyone else could react, only Hong Tian's eyes lit up as he said, "It's you guys! I heard from my sister-in-law that the helpers have finally arrived, and we're finally going to be saved!"
As Hong Tian spoke, he pulled Feng Qing aside and said, "Come and tell us how to cook these dishes. I'm really overwhelmed by them. I don't recognize many of the characters."
Actually, the person in charge was Lei Zi, but Hong Tian didn't dare to pull Lei Zi aside, so he could only pull Feng Qing aside to ask.
Erpang blinked, nudged Lei Zi gently, and whispered, "Brother Lei Zi, tone it down, don't scare them away!"
"I didn't do anything, I was just asking." Lei Zi put on an innocent expression.
