Chapter 71: A Meow Drives the Business of the Whole Street?
The seventh day of the opening of the [No. 1 in the world] store is the last day of the 11th long holiday.
The streets of Ruicheng, which should be bustling, began to see a noticeable decrease in footfall compared to the first few days of the long holiday.
Some students and small white-collar workers who returned to their hometowns for vacation began to pack their bags on this day, and once again left this small marginal county town for their future and future.
Coupled with the so-called seven-day long vacation, not everyone can have it. In recent years, for the performance of companies and enterprises, all walks of life have seen a holiday cut in half. Many office workers in Ruicheng returned to work on the fifth day of the long holiday.
Not to mention the self-employed who run a business, as well as those who work in the service industry almost all-round. For them, a long vacation is simply a luxury.
It's just that the number of passers-by hanging out on the street has decreased, and the traffic of many hotels and restaurants has begun to decline to varying degrees. Including Chen Hao, the [No. 1 in the world] store, it also encountered the first cold situation since its opening.
"The holidays are over, and business should be a lot worse, right?" Pan Qin, who was busy cleaning the tables and chairs in the store, looked up at the row of colorful plastic stools outside the curtains, and muttered in her heart.
If it were left on the first few days of opening, these small stools, specially purchased for customers, would be filled with foodies from all walks of life as early as 11 o'clock when they opened.
It's good now, it's almost half past ten, and there is no queue waiting at the door of this store, only a few young foodies who come in pairs, playing with their mobile phones, while sitting listlessly on a small stool.
This scene can make the waiters of the [No. 1 in the World] store, who have rested all night, have a sense of doubt.
"Could it be that these eleven long fakes are really so powerful?"
"As soon as the long holiday is over, there are so many fewer guests queuing at the door. ”
"I guess today's turnover won't be too high!" The six waiters who had just been recruited began to whisper while cleaning.
Fu Xiaomi, who was pestle at the cash register, was quietly "crackling" on the keyboard, counting the remaining steel cheat sheets left over from yesterday in the change cabinet, and muttering: "Isn't it like this when you open a restaurant? There are off-seasons and peak seasons." ”
"This eleventh long holiday is only two Golden Weeks in a year, and it is normal for there to be less business after Golden Monday. It is estimated that next weekend, business will pick up again. ”
Just when Fu Xiaomi thought that he had seen through the industry rules of the Ruicheng catering industry, he was bored and tapping on the keyboard. Chen Hao, who has never walked out of the back kitchen during the daytime, is holding a cute cartoon beckoning cat at the moment, and he escapes from the small door locked in the back kitchen.
"Huh?"
"Little liar, why did you come out?" Hearing the movement of the small door behind him, Fu Xiaomi paused and glanced back at Chen Hao with a slight suspicion. It's just that in the next second, she was attracted by the cartoon beckoning cat in Chen Hao's hand.
"Wow!"
"Little liar, where did you buy this lucky cat? Fu Xiaomi's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed. Women love these cute things.
Not to mention the [Toy Lucky Cat (Low-level)] that Chen Hao has in hand, but it is an anti-heaven prop produced by the system mall. In addition to its powerful ability to attract guests, its own appearance is naturally impeccably "stupid and cute". As soon as people see it, they want to hold it and take a few puffs.
"It's a mascot for the store, so don't let people mess with it. Looking at Fu Xiaomi's reaction, Chen Hao smiled with satisfaction, and easily placed the [Toy Lucky Cat (Low-level)" in a conspicuous position at the cash register.
The reason why Chen Hao put this beckoning cat in the front desk, instead of placing it in the back kitchen to avoid the eyes and ears, was really because of an experiment in the back kitchen covered with black cloth just now.
"Ding Dong!"
"System: Please note that [Toy Manekiko (Low)] needs to be placed in a prominent position in the store to be effective. Placed here, the effect of randomly attracting customers by 2 to 5 times will be greatly reduced. ”
Listening to the cold system prompt in his ear, Chen Hao dared to stay in the back kitchen longer. Hurriedly holding this fairy meow, he ran to the front desk. This is the scene of Fu Mi being a baby, taking a group photo again, and moving the cute little hand of the beckoning cat.
A few waiters who heard the movement at the front desk saw this stupid toy beckoning cat appear in the store. They also came around and began to point out the appearance of the beckoning cat, and began to chatter.
It's just that what they didn't expect was. Not long after this [Toy Manekiko (Low-level)] appeared at the cash register, there was an unexpected sight on the empty plastic stools at the door!
……
Wu Feng is a salesman who sells insurance in Ruicheng, and his monthly income can be seven or eight thousand yuan at its peak.
Originally, on the last day of this long vacation, he planned to cuddle his girlfriend who had just lived together and sleep in the rental room for a while. However, as soon as the department head made a phone call, he was urged to a residential building on Wansong Road.
No way!
The customer who bought the insurance was an old man, and in addition to his age, the old man's legs and feet were also a little inconvenient. As a result, Wu Feng, an unlucky baby whose performance this month was not ideal, was sent over to handle business for the old man.
It's just that as soon as he came out of the residential building after signing the insurance contract, Wu Feng felt that there was a mysterious and strange magic on the east street of Wansong Road that attracted him.
In a daze, he followed the mysterious inspiration and walked along East Street for more than 5 minutes. In the end, I stood at the door of a second-floor hotel called [No. 1 in the World] store unconsciously.
"Huh?"
"Isn't this the restaurant that has exploded the circle of friends?"
"How did I get here?" Wu Feng looked up at the signboard of the [No. 1 in the World] store, and muttered a few words softly. By the way, I glanced at the young foodies who were dressed in youth and fashion at the door of the store, and I felt a trace of envy in my heart.
Don't look at his monthly income of seven or eight thousand, but in Ruicheng, a strange place where prices are comparable to first-tier cities, Wu Feng's salary is not spent at all.
Coupled with the pressure of a car loan, in addition to paying rent every month, he is living a tight life.
Although I occasionally take my girlfriend to a small restaurant with a good reputation for a good meal, it only costs a hundred or ten yuan. An Internet celebrity store like [No. 1 in the World] that sells for 199 yuan for a cage of roasted wheat, Wu Feng can't think of it on weekdays.
Just, this time. Wu Feng felt that there seemed to be an unknown force in the restaurant that had exploded the circle of friends, like a black hole sucking himself in, and he couldn't have the slightest idea of leaving!
"I heard that this restaurant is very expensive, but it is outrageously delicious...... I just made an order, and the commission is a few hundred yuan...... Why don't you call your wife to try it together?"
