A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 133 Only when customers say it is delicious will they come back

Zhang Xingyun: "Uncle, please be careful on the road tomorrow and don't be too anxious. Safety is the most important thing."

Zhang Cheng patted Zhang Xingyun on the shoulder and said, "Your uncle knows this, don't worry too much, just continue to help at the food store tomorrow."

After that, Zhang Cheng continued: "Okay, it's late now. Everyone has to get up early tomorrow, so we should go to bed early."

The next day.

Zhang Cheng had breakfast early and brought some snacks from the hot pot restaurant, ready to eat if he got hungry on the road.

Then he drove the carriage as soon as the city gate opened and rushed to Sanhe Town at full speed.

Not long after Zhang Cheng left, Zhang Xingyun also packed up and went to the food store.

In the back kitchen, the vegetable vendors, meat vendors, and chicken vendors all delivered all the vegetables, meat, and eggs needed by the hot pot shop to the hot pot shop.

Several chefs in the kitchen began to boil the bone soup for the hot pot, and Aunt Fang also started making snacks.

At the exact time of 9:00 pm, the waiters and kitchen helpers in the store arrived one by one.

As soon as the waiter and the helpers arrived, they began to clean the store and wash various vegetables in the kitchen.

At 9:00 pm, the hotpot shop started to open for business.

As soon as the waiter opened the door of the hot pot shop, there were already customers waiting outside.

The customer in front of me asked, "You guys are finally open. I thought I had to wait. Why are you opening now?"

The waiter who opened the door said, "Sir, the hot pot we sell in our store is a staple food, so we are closed in the morning. We are open now just in time for lunch."

"I see."

"Dear guests, please come in and walk slowly and carefully." The waiter led the guests waiting outside the door into the lobby with a smile.

A guest who entered the lobby and sat down said to his friend next to him:

"Yesterday I heard at home that a new hotpot restaurant had opened in the county town and the food was delicious, so today I brought my friends here to try the delicious hotpot that others had mentioned."

"Yes, I have to try it. I heard about it yesterday. As soon as you invited me, I came right away. Hahaha."

"Sir, this is the menu of our restaurant. There is hot pot and various vegetables that go with the hot pot. You can choose what you want to eat. In addition, our restaurant also provides some stir-fried dishes, steamed dishes, snacks, drinks, etc. You can take a look."

After the waiter finished speaking, he handed the menu to the customer.

"Well, let me see what kind of hot pot you have." Just as he was about to look at the menu, he suddenly looked at the waiter and asked, "Which hot pot was the most popular in your restaurant yesterday?"

The waiter replied, "My dear, the most popular hotpots in our store yesterday were the spicy chicken hotpot and the pickled pepper hotpot. Many customers also ordered the clear chicken soup hotpot and the tomato hotpot."

"In that case, give me a double pot of spicy chicken hotpot and tomato hotpot, three plates of pork belly, one plate of your crispy pork, two plates of mutton, and one plate of fish balls.

For the remaining vegetables, I want this, this, and this. For dessert, I want this caramel pudding, which has a rather strange name. I want barley tea to drink. "

"Okay, sir. By the way, do you want ice in your barley tea? We can add ice in our store."

"Okay, come on."

"Okay, please wait a moment, we will serve you food, tea and snacks in a moment."

After the waiter finished speaking, he took the recorded menu and went to the backyard.

"Waiter, I want to order. I want this salad, a tomato hotpot, a braised pork trotter, and these are the vegetables."

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will be right there."

"Come in, waiter. We are four people. We need to order food."

"Hey, look, the paintings on the walls of this hot pot restaurant are quite interesting."

The lobby was bustling with the sounds of guests ordering food, the waiters responding, and guests chatting with each other.

Li Wenyu and the waiter stood at the door greeting customers to come in for dinner, while Zhang Yunyue stood at the counter looking into the lobby, and the waiter shuttled back and forth between the tables.

The kitchen also started preparing various hot pot dishes, and some customers ordered both hot pot and stir-fried dishes.

Sometimes when Zhang Yunyue sees that the waiter is too late to hand the menu to the customers, she will act as the waiter and take the customers' orders.

This is the food store.

Because some people like to eat noodles for breakfast, the food shop starts selling noodles at noon, and there is a constant stream of customers in the shop.

Just yesterday, many people fell in love with the noodles in this restaurant, and many new customers came today.

Zhang Xingyun felt relieved when he saw the comments from customers who came to eat noodles. Most of them said that the noodles were delicious and they liked them very much.

After all, for a food shop, customers will only come back if they say the food is delicious. If customers say it is not delicious, they definitely won't want to patronize it again.

Back to the hot pot shop.

Zhang Yunyue stood at the counter, watching the customers and the waiter coming and going. She thought about the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow. She thought about asking Aunt Fang to bake more mooncakes in the next two days. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, each customer would be given a mooncake. It would be like the hotpot shop celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with its customers.

Moreover, this will allow more people to empathize, have a good impression of the hot pot restaurant, and be willing to dine in the restaurant.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a good idea. Although it will cost some money, just like in modern times, advertising also costs money. Spending some money here can indeed make more people know about the hot pot shop and increase the number of customers. It is worth it.

Zhang Yunyue called Li Wenyu to stay at the counter to prevent someone from checking out.

He went to the backyard.

"Aunt Fang, come here for a moment."

Fang Shufen walked up to Zhang Yunyue and said, "I am here, girl. What can I do for you?"

"Aunt Fang, are you busy making snacks now?"

"Miss, it's okay. It's not busy. The snacks have been prepared long ago. Now we just need to serve them to the guests who need them. We will bake some more at noon."

"Okay, Aunt Fang, I just thought about it. I plan to give a mooncake to every customer who comes to the restaurant to dine in on the fifteenth day of the following day.

So I think you can lead people to make more mooncakes today and tomorrow, make a few hundred first, and if there are more than 15 people, you can continue to make more then."

Aunt Fang replied, "Miss, I can do whatever you want, but the store doesn't have these materials, so you have to ask someone to buy them. Although I'm not busy now, I can't leave."

"I know. I'll tell you first. I'll ask someone to buy it and send it to the kitchen. You can start making it when you have time. We'll continue making it together after work in the evening. We'll be busy for the next two days and it will be ready after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Don't worry, girl. We understand. You are also trying to get more customers for the hot pot shop. We are not afraid of hard work."

Aunt Fang replied, indeed, after all, the host also has the young master and the second master, all three of them are very kind and do not treat them as servants. They eat and drink together every day.
