Although she didn't know what the wild vegetables and spices that Shang Jinxiu found looked like, she had been in and out of the merchant restaurant many times, and she was very impressed.
Even if some of the details are not clear, she remembers the general situation. For example, the decoration of the merchant restaurant is very special, and it seems to add some exotic elements, which does not look abrupt, but has a unique beauty.
For another example, the tables and chairs in the merchant restaurant are also different, the surface of the chair is not flat, but slightly concave, and the back of the chair is slightly convex forward, showing an arc. When it's cold, the chair is cushioned and covered with a cover, which is both beautiful and comfortable to sit on.
Not only that, but there are both small square tables and large round tables. The square table is set by the window, and the round table is in the center. A round table can accommodate ten people, and there are larger tables in private rooms, the largest of which can accommodate twenty people. The table top of the round table is divided into two layers, inside and outside, and when you press the center of the inner layer with your palm and press it gently, the inner layer will rise to the height of one finger, and you can rotate it by pushing it by hand, which is convenient for picking vegetables.
The dΓ©cor of the private rooms is even more elegant, and the styles are different, even the tableware, tables and chairs are different. There is a little two waiting outside each private room, the private room has a soundproof effect, and a delicate silver bell is hung at the door, as long as the person inside gently pulls, the silver bell will ring.
The little two in the restaurant are all dressed in uniform clothes, which are ordinary short fights, but they are tightened at the wrists, about the length of the width of the palm, and are buttoned with buttons. The belt is also palm-wide, fastened with a buckle, and looks particularly spiritual. There is also a pattern embroidered on the wrist and belt, the pattern is very special, exactly the same as the pattern on the signboard of the merchant restaurant, like a logo.
There are not only junior two in the restaurant, but also specially trained maids. Every time the food is served, a group of maids come out in a row, and the dishes in their hands are full of color and flavor, which becomes a special scenery.
Many people deliberately go to the merchant restaurant to eat, for this pomp. Whether it's a guest or a diner, they all feel very face-saving.
Another feature of the merchant restaurant is that its menu is very chic. Each dish is not only given a special name, but also accompanied by a description and an illustration. The drawings are very realistic, and the colors are extremely bright, and at first glance you think they are real. Just hearing the name of the dish makes people want to try it, and then looking at the illustrations and descriptions, it makes people salivate.
The restaurant usually sells refreshments, and a two-foot-high platform is set up in the middle of the lobby, where there will be a storyteller every day. Every day, the merchant restaurant is almost full of customers, which makes people not jealous.
He Yunqi carefully recalled the situation of the merchant restaurant, recorded the things he remembered one by one, and then began to propose to Zhang Xiuhua how to decorate the restaurant. Zhang Xiuhua was stunned by what she said about the lotus flower, and she didn't doubt it much, so she sent someone to invite craftsmen according to her words and began to decorate the restaurant.
Shang Jinxiu didn't know that He Yunqi had instigated Zhang Xiuhua to take over a restaurant, and she was busy looking for someone to make porcelain, tables and chairs. The restaurant is only in her hands, she is young now, her prestige is not at all, it is not easy to make big changes, and the old people inside are even more difficult to offend, so she can only start from the subtleties and make some changes.
After much deliberation, she decided to start with utensils and tables and chairs. The dishes and chopsticks used in the restaurant are commonly used by ordinary people, and there is no special feature, so Shang Jinxiu decided to find someone to make some porcelain with unique shapes. As for the tables and chairs, the restaurant uses a boxy eight-immortal table and slender stools.
The bench is narrow, uncomfortable to sit on, and there is no place to lean on. Shang Jinxiu thought about it and decided to make a round table with a turntable and a chair with a backrest like the one found in restaurants in later generations. The chair is made of an ergonomic design that makes it more comfortable to sit on. For tables, you can also add some small square tables and place them against the wall to facilitate the small number of guests.
None of these can be done overnight, Shang Jinxiu thought about it and decided to take advantage of the waiting time to improve the dishes. She drew the appearance of the tableware, tables and chairs, and went to find Li Shuhua. After all, she is still a child, and she has to rely on Li Shuhua to find someone.
Li Shuhua was very surprised when she saw the pattern, and asked Shang Jinxiu how she came up with it, Shang Jinxiu found an excuse to fool the past, and Li Shuhua praised her for being smart, patted her chest and promised to help her find someone to do it.
With her assurance, Shang Jinxiu was not worried, and told Li Shuhua that she would go to the restaurant to try the dishes. Li Shuhua saw that she was decent, very assertive, and very happy, so she arranged the tableware, tables and chairs, and took Shang Jinxiu to the restaurant.
Shang Jinxiu looked at the lobby and private rooms of the restaurant, and then went to see the kitchen, and then began to try the dishes, and asked Xiao Er to serve every dish sold in the store.
Li Shuhua knew that Shang Jinxiu had some experience in eating, so he didn't stop it. After the dishes were served, Shang Jinxiu found that the taste was not much different from what he usually ate in the business, the amount of each dish was quite large, and there was nothing particular about the plating, almost just a casual serving on the plate, which was very real.
When I asked about the price of the dishes again, it was not high, and it could be said that it was very affordable.
Shang Jinxiu couldn't help but think, no wonder the restaurant business is okay, but it doesn't make much, this is too real! She didn't rush to give her opinions, but spent a day running through the restaurants in Qingshan County and doing some market research.
In comparison, Shang Jinxiu found that the taste of the food in his restaurant was not much different from that of other restaurants, and the quantity was slightly more, that is, it was affordable enough. Maybe it's because the people here are more realistic, and they don't pay much attention to the art of plating, and the quantity is more, unlike later generations, the price is expensive and small, and the taste is average.
Shang Jinxiu thought about it, the market demand must be considered first to do business, Qingshan County is not big, and the people here are all ordinary people, if the dishes are blindly pursuing the art of plating, it is not practical, and the amount cannot be too small. The original ones still have to be kept, just pay a little attention to the plating, and at the same time find a way to improve the taste, and reduce the amount a little.
As for the rest, if there is an opportunity to open the restaurant to a prosperous place in the future, you can think about it and slaughter those rich people fiercely.
However, the private room can be changed. Generally, there is a lot of money in the private room, and you can change a different dish from the lobby.
When she got home, she wrote down her thoughts. However, it didn't take long for Li Shuhua to call her over, frowning slightly, looking at her suspiciously.
Shang Jinxiu sighed in her heart, almost thinking that Li Shuhua had seen through her identity. She walked up to Li Shuhua calmly and asked as calmly as possible, "Mother, what's wrong?" β
Li Shuhua took out the drawings drawn by Shang Jinxiu, frowned and asked her: "Xiu'er, tell me honestly, these are really what you came up with?" β
Shang Jinxiu was surprised, the things on the drawings were indeed her own thoughts. The shape of the tableware adds classical elements to the modern common shape, and the color adds geometric elements to the classical elements, which are divided into several categories.
Shang Jinxiu nodded and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" β
Li Shuhua's brows furrowed even tighter, and she said, "Someone told me that the He family is also looking for someone to make similar things. β
