Chapter 255: The hot pot restaurant opens
October 1, National Day, celebrated all over the world.
In front of a certain building in Jinling Sanpailou, hundreds of people gathered in a circle, and the lion dance was being carried out inside.
There is a signboard covered with a red cloth just above, and the colorful balloons are very festive after being dressed, and the flower baskets on both sides of the row are far away, and there are passers-by who see the names on the top.
Huang Lei, He Jiong, Jay Chou, Zhang Jiayi, Wang Xiaochen, Xu Zheng...
They are all stars in the entertainment industry.
In the group of people who were applauding in front of them, Zhou Xiao and Chen Chichi knew it in their hearts, no wonder.
"This lion dance is good, it's quite festive. Chichi crossed his arms and stood there smiling.
"The main thing is not to let firecrackers go, or to be more lively. Zhou Xiao had some regrets.
"It's okay, when the staff plays the salute, the bang feeling is similar. "Chi Chi didn't care.
It was now eleven and twenty in the morning, and Zhou Xiao came to the store with his parents early in the morning.
didn't deliberately publicize it, but the vast number of fans and netizens quickly figured out that this newly opened hot pot restaurant was opened by him and Chen Chichi, and because it was a holiday, many people came to join in the fun.
Not only today at noon and evening, but in the next three days, the reservations are full, and you have to queue up to get the number if you want to eat.
"Eh," Chi Chi touched Zhou Xiao with his shoulder: "Why don't you invite a few celebrities to come over to help out, so you can open the business." β
"Aren't you? β
"Haha, the formation should be a little bigger, a little bigger. β
Zhou Xiao smiled: "I want to invite three people over, but I don't have that face, why don't you make a call?"
"Who?"
"Yang Baobao, Yang Mi, Yang Zi!" Zhou Xiao said one by one.
"Why the three of them?"
"Sanyang Kaitai!"
Chen Chichi: ......
When his personal store opened, Zhou Xiao didn't do any tricks, he just invited someone to come over and decorate the faΓ§ade, and the other is the lion dance, which is a tradition, as for other hosts or additional programs, there are none.
Oh, that's right!
Within a week of opening, the dish is 7% off!
"Zhou Xiao. Mom specially changed into a new set of clothes today, or the brand: "Those people are here for dinner?"
Zhou Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, there shouldn't be so many, and we can't sit in the store." β
The hot pot restaurant is on the first floor, and the hall part is only more than 400 square meters, with a total of fifty large and small tables.
As for the decoration style, it is uniform across the country, so there is no need to worry about it.
In Jinling, the surrounding TV is no longer a running man, but Zhou Xiao's various programs, but the songs in it are not all his, they are played randomly.
The time arrived, the staff in the store took the colored silk, Zhou Xiao and Chen Chichi cut the ribbon under the applause of everyone, and then the lion stepped forward and showed the red cloth on the signboard.
Bang bang bang ...
The ceremonial flowers sounded, and the streamers flew all over the sky.
The hot pot restaurant was officially opened.
Hulala, Zhou Xiao was followed by a group of people, a few of whom he already felt familiar, they were local fans of Jinling, and they often met downstairs in the company.
"You're here for dinner too?"
"Yes, I booked it two days ago, and I almost didn't have a place. One of the young ladies was a little proud.
"Yes, which table, I'll serve you later. β
"Oh, it's the 17th, don't forget, let's go order first. β
"Brother Xiao, we want it too. The people on the side were also shouting.
"No problem. Zhou Xiao made an OK gesture.
"This... Is there anything you need me to help with? Chi Chi made Zeng Xiaoxian's handsome signature move, and his palm slowly crossed his head.
"Yes, yes!" the customers were very face-saving.
Zhou Xiao and Chichi's task is very simple, that is, to show their faces in the lobby to help, and the star effect is good.
They don't need to be professional, they just chat with customers and friends, serve dishes, sign a name to take a photo, which is basically the role of the mascot.
To make people's money, the service must be good.
Chichi came over yesterday, and he didn't care about resting, so the two went directly to the store and taught him a lot of things to do as a star boss if they went to the store.
Interlaced like a mountain, Zhou Xiao also benefited a lot, if the business is really good, he also plans to avoid a few branches, so he is also very serious about learning.
By twelve o'clock, the fifty tables in the store were almost full, and there was already a long queue in the waiting area at the door.
Chi Chi pointed outside, Zhou Xiao understood, and walked out.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a while because it's full. β
The waiter must have explained, but Zhou Xiao still said it again.
After seeing him, the customers who were sitting there and waiting took out their mobile phones to take pictures, without the slightest impatience on their faces.
"Xiaolin, there is ice water, hurry up and get some first. β
"There you have it. The middle-aged man in first place said, "Just sit down and give it." β
"Are you all native to Jinling?"
Nagging is also part of his job.
Most of them nodded.
"I'm Yangzhou..."
"Suzhou..."
"Anhui..."
"Oh, Anhui is quite far away, where is it. Zhou Xiao was a little surprised.
"Ma'anshan. β
Zhou Xiao: "... Well, that's faster than coming from Suzhou. β
The young man nodded: "I don't need to drive for an hour." β
"How did you know the store was open? β
"There is news on the Internet. β
"I saw it in the fan base. β
"There are in the local forum. β
"I saw it in the circle of friends. β
Zhou Xiao chatted outside for about ten minutes, and when he entered the room again, he could already smell the fragrance of the hot pot, and his stomach growled a few times.
At ten o'clock, the chef made a working meal, and the manager called him to come, but he was not hungry at the time, so he knew that he would eat two bites of the mat.
Seeing that Chi Chi was busy socializing, Zhou Xiao was not embarrassed to be idle, so he found a table nearby and helped remove the plate or something.
Most of the guests who came today were his fans, or fans brought their families and friends, so they all knew themselves and could talk.
Idols serve on the side, and the atmosphere is so good that it can't be done anywhere, and after taking a photo, they will immediately post it to their respective circle of friends or Weibo.
Zhou Xiao is willing to cooperate, this is also to help advertise.
It can only be said that the business is too hot.
Since 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the guests have not stopped, and there have been queues outside, and they have always been full.
Even if the hot pot is slightly easier than other diets, the waiter and the back kitchen are also a little unbearable, and Zhou Xiao, as the boss, can't stop it, after all, the guests are waiting, and the best way is to give a bonus.
It lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, when it ended.
It's not because there are no customers, but because a lot of ingredients have been exhausted, and more than half of the menu is gone, so after discussion, it was decided to suspend business.
For those customers who are still waiting outside, the store not only apologized, but also gave a voucher.
In the end, when he looked at the flowing water, Chi Chi was surprised, 160,000.
As a hot pot restaurant with about 110 per capita, this number is not small, it is equal to nine hours, and more than 1,000 people came to the store to consume, no wonder the dishes are sold out, and the standard of preparing dishes is also based on previous experience.
Originally, it was planned that after the end, the employees and the boss would have a meal together in the store.
Seeing that the young lads and sisters were exhausted, they simply canceled it and went back to have a good rest, and then it was a holiday, and it was estimated that the business was too late.
