Chapter 156: The First Customer
Xiao Yi and Mu Ran, holding hands, came to a restaurant next to them and walked outside to see a lot of customers.
"Xiao Yi, shall we ask the waiter directly?"
"How is it possible, people will definitely not tell us about this kind of thing, we just pretend to be tourists who want to eat, and then take pictures of their menus. ”
"But if we look at the menu for a long time, take pictures, and finally order nothing, isn't it easier to arouse suspicion?"
"Uh... Well, let's order something cheap, or just order two drinks. ”
Xiao Yi pulled Mu Ran and was about to find a place to sit down, but when he heard the very familiar Chinese, his eyes immediately lit up, "I have a better way." As he spoke, he pulled Mu Ran and walked over to a table of tourists not far away.
"Hello, are you from Huaxia?"
"Xiao Yi? This is Mu Ran? Oh, you, why are you here?" Xiao Yi just said hello, and the tourists at this table immediately shouted in surprise.
"Hehe, hello, we're here to record a show, and I heard you speak Chinese, so I'm going to come and have a look. ”
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet you here, I'm so lucky, sit down, sit down. ”
This table of tourists from Huaxia should be a family, men, women and children, one of the middle-aged people asked Xiao Yi and the two to sit down with a smile on his face.
"Can you help me get a menu from the waiter? We have a Chinese restaurant over there, but we don't know how to set the price, so we have to find out what the market is. ”
"No problem, it's a big deal. ”
Later, Xiao Yi and the others chatted with these compatriots from Huaxia, took photos of all the dishes on the menu of this restaurant, and finally took photos with these people, invited them to eat in their store tomorrow, and left.
"I didn't expect to meet Chinese people here. Mu Ran said.
"Haven't you heard, now as long as there are people, there are our Chinese people, this is a very good tourist attraction, there will definitely be Chinese people. ”
"If they knew we had a restaurant here, our restaurant would be doing well. ”
"It's possible. ”
Back at the restaurant, Wang Hao and the three of them were already sitting on the recliners, blowing the sea breeze, drinking cold drinks, and resting comfortably.
"You're going to enjoy it. Xiao Yi said.
"You're back, how are you, have you found out?" Wang Hao asked.
"Of course, I took pictures of their menus and made a table for us. Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Wow, that's amazing, that's attracting guests. Yang Mi said in surprise.
"I just happened to meet a table of tourists from Huaxia, do you think they will refuse to come here to eat?" Mu Ran said.
"Hehe, too, so many big stars, it's a rare opportunity. ”
"Okay, let's quickly set the price and go back to rest early. ”
After more than half an hour of "verbal bargaining", Xiao Yi and the others finally set the price of the vegetables to be sold tomorrow.
The main reason is that there is a big difference between Xiao Yi, Mu Ran, and Yang Mi, Xiao Yi always feels that the price of the dish is low, and Mu Ran and the two feel that it is too high. For example, Xiao Yi made boiled fish at noon, Xiao Yi thought that the price should be set at 500 Thai dollars according to the menus of other companies he had inquired about, but Mu Rana and Yang Mi said that it was too expensive, because the price of a fish was less than 200 Thai dollars, and it was okay to sell it for 300 Thai dollars, and finally the three of them argued for a long time, and the price of boiled fish was finally set at 400 Thai dollars.
Wang Hao and Zhao Xiaodao followed the crowd and had no opinions.
Back at the residence, everyone sat and chatted in the living room for a while, and Xiao Yi's mother came over with the little girl.
When the little girl saw Xiao Yi and Mu Ranna, she immediately ran over, threw herself into Xiao Yi's arms and said, "Baba, Baba, Niuniu's grandmother went to the bottom of the sea today, there are a lot of fish, and there are so big and good fish, bigger than Niuniu." ”
"Really, have fun?"
"Happy, Niuniu hasn't had enough fun. ”
"Haha, it's okay, I haven't had enough time for you to play, we have to stay here for a month. ”
"Niuniu, didn't you see your mother, why did you only drill into your father's arms. Mu Ran deliberately said with a straight face on the side.
"Hehe, Niuniu saw Ma Ma, but Niu Niu didn't care about talking to Ma Ma yet. "The little girl is now a ghost, how could she be deceived by Mu Ran's expression.
Originally, Xiao Yi wanted to let the little girl also participate in this show, but after her mother also came over, someone took care of the little girl, so Xiao Yi didn't let the little girl participate together. And the mother is not happy to let her granddaughter participate in any show, she also wants Niuniu to accompany her on a trip.
Therefore, Xiao Yi's mother does not live with Xiao Yi and them, but in a small villa next door, which is also the residence of the program team staff.
After playing with everyone for a while, the little girl was taken back by her mother to rest, and Xiao Yi and the others also went back to their respective rooms to rest.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yi and Wang Hao went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, they needed to buy the ingredients they needed today, and Mu Ran and the three of them were arranged by Xiao Yi to go to the restaurant to clean up.
Due to its proximity to the coast, the restaurant is not the kind that can be enclosed, so the whole hall is covered with leaves and sand overnight, and it must be cleaned up.
……
"Sister Ran, it's so boring, why don't you come to the guests?" Yang Mi climbed on the table and said to Mu Ran who was standing at the bar.
"I don't know, but there aren't many tourists outside. Mu Ran looked at the beach outside, and there were not many tourists.
The two of them were arranged by Xiao Yi to come over to receive guests and collect money at the bar, while Xiao Yi and the three of them were busy working in the kitchen.
Originally, Xiao Yi also asked Zhao Xiaodao to help outside, but she took the initiative to ask to help in the kitchen, for a foodie, the kitchen is their favorite!
Xiao Yi will be preparing food in the kitchen, this is still Wang Hao's reminder. He worked in a restaurant before he became famous, and he knew that restaurants would generally prepare the ingredients needed for the day in advance, so as not to slow down the preparation of guests when they really came.
At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, close to twelve o'clock, but still no one came into the restaurant.
"Brother Yi, did you say that there will be no guests. Zhao Xiaodao looked at the empty beach road outside.
"I don't know, I don't think there are many people in the restaurant next door. Xiao Yi stood at the door and looked at the situation of the restaurants next door.
"It's boring. Yang Mi shouted again.
Xiao Yi was also powerless, no guests were not something he could solve, returned to the restaurant, sat in front of the electronic keyboard, and played boredly.
The melodious sound of the piano sounded, and several people in the store were attracted by Xiao Yi's piano sound, and quietly watched where Xiao Yi played.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaodao shouted, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, here!"
Xiao Yi stopped playing and said, "What's coming?"
"There are two foreigners. ”
Xiao Yi looked at the door, and the two foreigners walked in while talking. Xiao Yi hurriedly walked over, began to greet in English, and asked the other party what he wanted to eat.
As a result, foreigners didn't come to eat, but came to see the sound of Xiao Yi's piano, and they felt that the piano sound was very good, so they came to ask what the name of this piece was.
Xiao Yi was discouraged for a while, but he still told the other party very politely that this song is called "Starry Sky by the Sea" (Richard Clayderman). Then, a foreigner left with a smile.
"What's going on, what's going on. Seeing that two guests finally came, and they actually left like this, Yang Mi asked suspiciously.
"People just came to ask Xiao Yi what kind of tune he played, not to eat. Mu Ran said, everyone was disappointed.
So several people continued to wait for the first customer to come to the door on the first day of opening, and Xiao Yi didn't have the heart to play any more piano.
It didn't take long for a conversation to come from the door.
"Is this it?"
"It should be, this is a Chinese restaurant, and you can see that the sign hanging on it is also a Chinese restaurant. ”
"Then it should be here, go in and have a look. ”
With the sound of a man and a woman talking, several people walked in at the door, men and women, old and young.
Xiao Yi recognized at a glance that this was the Chinese tourist he and Mu Ran met last night, so he hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "You guys are really here." ”
"Hahaha, sure enough, it's here, of course we have to come, you are such a big star who runs a restaurant, and you are still in a foreign country, we have to come to have a show. ”
"Hahaha, that's a good dare, let's come in and sit down, what do you want to drink?" Xiao Yi beckoned everyone to sit down.
"What do you have here?"
"It's all written on the blackboard, you see what you need. ”
Xiao Yi pointed to a few small blackboards hanging on the bar.
"Then give each of the kids a glass of juice and make beer for the others." ”
"Okay, Mu Ran hurriedly prepared for someone to go. Xiao Yi agreed, and shouted to Mu Ran who was standing at the bar.
"Hahaha, we are so lucky to let you and Mu Ran serve us, it is really a blessing for three lives. ”
"Hey, don't say that, we are a little famous because of everyone's support, in fact, we are the same as everyone. Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"That's different, you're not just a star now, you're worth hundreds of billions now, right? Who can have our treatment and let a billionaire cook for us, hahaha. ”
"Don't tease me anymore, let's see what you need to eat. Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said.
"Just take it, you can look at it, it's good to be able to eat Chinese food here, there's nothing to pick. ”
"Okay, then I'll make you a few of my specialty dishes, and you sit down first. After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he entered the kitchen.
At this time, Yang Mi and Mu Ran came to serve them drinks with juice and beer.
"You, you're Yang Mi, you're here too?"
"Yes, I was also dragged by Xiao Yi to do hard labor. ”
"Haha, it's so unexpected, I didn't expect you to be there, so many big stars, it's so good. ”
"Not only the three of us, but also Zhao Xiaodao and Wang Hao. Yang Mi also smiled.
"Also, this, you are also going abroad to open a restaurant, if you are in China, you will not be crowded. ”
Mu Ran smiled: "Yes, so on the first day of opening today, until now, there is a wave of guests for you." ”
"Haha, don't worry, you don't know, tourists and residents on this island generally eat at one o'clock or two o'clock at noon, which is different from our country, and it has not yet reached the official meal. ”
"I see, I said why we don't have any business at all. Mu Ran said suddenly.
"Your business will definitely be good, there is a Chinese restaurant on this island now, and there are still a lot of Chinese tourists here. ”
......
Sure enough, as the customer said, after noon, there were more customers in the restaurant.
