Chapter 307: Congshan Zhai

Zhao Cangting's bar had only ten employees. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the acting store manager, there is a male chef, a female cashier, a male DJ, a male foreman with two men and two female waiters, and two on-site security guards.

Among them, only the acting store manager, cashier, and foreman are Zhao Cangting's classmates, and the others have no friendship with him.

The next morning, Cai Pingping came to the bar as promised and announced to the employees who arrived that the bar had ended its business and would switch to the tea house business in the future.

In other words, as the nature of business changes, working hours will change from night to day.

If you are willing to stay, the tea house will try to provide similar jobs as before, which may require some on-the-job training, but the salary package will ensure that the previous level will be maintained.

As soon as these words were said, DJs and security guards, who were accustomed to nightlife, immediately said that their schedules were used to the previous rules, and they probably couldn't accept the commuting time of the tea house, so they planned to resign.

Since they said so, Cai Pingping had no intention of retaining it, so she signaled the agent manager to settle their salaries on the spot and go through the resignation procedures, while the rest of the people signed new contracts with the tea house.

After sending away the DJ and the security guards, Cai Pingping assigned tasks to the employees who were nervous.

To put it simply, male employees are responsible for counting the traffic data of several streets in front of the door, including salient characteristics such as age and gender, while female employees go to nearby streets to distribute questionnaires.

The content of the questionnaire was translated from the ready-made questionnaire of Cai's Tea Company. The main content is whether you drink tea often, what kind of tea you usually drink, what specific requirements are for the environment in which you drink tea, and some aspects of dining.

Three days later, Liu Kewei and Rao Hong got their South Korean driver's licenses as they wished, and the statistical results on Cai Pingping's side were also roughly out.

University students make up nearly two-thirds of the traffic in the neighborhood, presumably because the bar is sandwiched between Seoul National University to the south, Sungkyunkwan University to the northwest, and Cadto University to the northeast.

The second is tourists, who account for about a quarter of the total, apparently because of the proximity to Changdeokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace, two of the so-called five palaces in Seoul to the west.

There is no doubt that among these tourists, the Celestial Empire people account for the vast majority, and many of them are tourists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

When Liu Kewei and Rao Hong drove the former's newly bought white Hyundai Langdong sedan to the bar according to the address, Cai Pingping, Ruoying and Zhao Minlong were sitting in a booth at the bar, staring at a large number of questionnaires on the table.

"Yo, what's wrong?" Liu Kewei sat down beside Zhao Minlong with a big grin, waved his hand to everyone, and then opened his mouth to ask.

"It's a bit different from what I expected, there may not be many commercial areas nearby, adults are usually foreigners, and there are more young people living in this area. Therefore, the direction of the Kung Fu Teahouse, which is mainly oriented to business entertainment, is not suitable, and the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in the direction of fast food may be a more reasonable choice......" Cai Pingping replied with a frown.

"I said cousin, can you say something that normal people can understand?" Liu Kewei joked without seeing it, "I've been to Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, and I've also been to kung fu tea houses, can't I like both? I should be a young man." ”

"Most young people don't have the patience to go to the teahouse to taste tea, okay! If you like to go to the Kung Fu Teahouse, you should be considered a freak among your peers!" Cai Pingping pouted and complained, "The Kung Fu Teahouse mainly sells tea, while the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant mainly deals in all kinds of gourmet snacks, and the wine and tea are only incidental, and there may not even be tea." Don't look at the fact that both have the word 'tea' in their names, it's almost a world of difference. ”

"Well, even if you're right. Will there be any impact on our tea house?"

was pushed up by Cai Pingping for a few words, Liu Kewei was not angry, usually outside the workplace, he was originally a person with no fight. So he continued to ask with a grin.

"If the business direction is a teahouse, the decoration should be based on closed and independent boxes, and the number of tea masters should be increased, so as to ensure that the three boxes can be assigned to two tea masters, so that when the business is good, it will not be too busy. If the business direction is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, the decoration should be based on semi-enclosed booths and open individual seats, and the main business will become a fast-food gourmet snack, and the number of tea masters can be considered whether to reduce, as long as it meets the needs of display tea art when necessary. ”

Cai Pingping glanced at Liu Kewei and explained in detail according to her temperament.

Seeing that the other party was right, Liu Kewei immediately said again, as I said before, the operation of the tea house is completely up to you, and our brothers are all laymen, so they won't join in the fun, and they won't have any opinions if they want to come to Che'er and Uncle Duan.

Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you, you can discuss it with Sister Hong.

Because of the driver's license test, Rao Hong did not follow up on Cai Pingping's three-day investigation, so she came to Ruoying's side to ask about the progress.

I don't know if Liu Kewei is used to being a shopkeeper, or if he is really very relieved by Cai Pingping, Rao Hong and Ruoying, the three post-80s women's scouts, he directly threw the car keys to Rao Hong, and then took the subway back to the studio alone.

After all, for him, opening a tea house is just the original intention of helping Rao Hong find something to do, compared to the six tribulation projects that are still in the internal test in the studio, the weight in his mind is not an order of magnitude at all.

After Rao Hong learned about the investigation of the business district near the bar in the past three days, Cai Pingping discussed with her the specific plan for decoration. In the end, it was decided that the renovated tea house should have a kitchen, a staff lounge and dressing room, two private rooms, and a tea art exhibition hall, and the remaining about half of the building space should be divided into semi-enclosed and booth seats and fully open scattered seats.

As for the style of decoration, according to Cai Pingping's concept, only the tea art exhibition hall and the two private rooms need to be built with the atmosphere of the Celestial Empire teahouse, and the booth seats and casual seats completely imitate the mainstream style of Korean mid-range restaurants.

The number of tea masters remains unchanged at four, and when they are not busy, they can work in shifts to ensure that at least two people are stationed on site. This is to prevent that if someone wants to quit their job and change jobs, they will not be unable to find someone to save them temporarily.

The direction of the concurrent operation is also determined to refer to the style of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, but it will not be completely copied, and a small number of mainstream cuisines that are more popular with Koreans, especially young people, can be selected.

As Zhao Minlong, who studied at Sungkyunkwan University not far away for four years and often helped Zhao Cangting manage this bar, he is also a competent local snake in this area. With his help, he was soon contacted by a "suitable" renovation company nearby, which was said to be "very efficient, of relatively good quality, and not too high".

This bar has been well renovated before, and the tea house that has been converted into a tea restaurant does not need to be completely overturned and started over, it only needs to remove the previous nightclub-style decoration design, repaint it, and then add the elements that a normal restaurant should have - as for the interior of the box, according to Cai Pingping's request, it is just a wooden exterior wall.

Ornaments or something, Cai Pingping planned to go to the Celestial Empire to find ideal wooden furniture and transport it over, and only put a few ordinary tables and chairs to make up for the time being.

If the booth and the scattered seat follow the style of a Korean restaurant, it is a routine that people can't be more familiar with.

In this way, the renovation does not take too long, even considering that the neighborhood is a residential area, it can only start during the day, and it will take a week at most.

During the renovation period, Cai Pingping also began to train several pre-tea masters that Wakazakura had just recruited. Because the tea house has already begun to be renovated, the training location is in the living room of Liu Kewei's apartment - in Cai Pingping's words, anyway, you have to go to work during the day, and you don't have time to stay in the apartment, and it's a waste to be empty there, so it's better to let me use it.

Wakazakura and Zhao Minlong went to run the procedures for business licenses.

At the same time, Cai Yanming sent the first batch of tea and the box ornaments requested by Cai Pingping, which have also been shipped by sea, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Incheon Port in three or five days.

Cai Pingping also specially hired an authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant chef to come to the rescue and training through a Hong Kong tea house that has business dealings with the Cai family's tea factory.

Rao Hong was in charge of the tea house, keeping an eye on the status and progress of the renovation. When the operator himself had to be present, he occasionally accompanied Wakazakura and Zhao Minlong to run the business permit process.

Although Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong and Duan Shanshan are more or less concerned about the progress of the tea house, most of their time and energy must be invested in the studio. After all, the internal testing of the Six Tribulations of the prosperous network is still underway, and who knows when something will go wrong.

Time passed quietly, and a week passed before I knew it.

On the day of March 25, the decoration of the tea house supervised by Rao Hong was preliminarily completed, and the tea leaves and box ornaments were also in place; and just the day before, Ruoying and Zhao Minlong were responsible for running the business permit procedures were also completed; as for Cai Pingping's side, the professionalism of the four novice tea masters, such as their understanding of tea culture, was of course not so quick to get started, but after the appraisal of Liu Kewei and others, at least the method of making tea could barely bluff the layman; finally, the Hong Kong chef also arrived in Seoul on this day.

In other words, the next day, Saturday, the tea house called "Congshanzhai" will be officially opened.

Obviously, the name of the store is still Duan Shanshan's suggestion, and his reason is that the latter sentence of "threesomes must have my teacher" comes from "choose the good one and follow it".

Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong felt that there seemed to be a little bit of reason, so they pinched their noses and recognized it.
