Chapter 42: Shizuka House Opens!
The third day of the fifth month is a good day for the market to open.
The day before, Song Jingshu refused Zhou Youan's help, and had already cleaned the shop, and the floor was also wiped with a clear figure.
Of the people she recruited, the little girl who started was named Cuihe;
The kitchen helper who does chores is called Li's mother;
The two young men who ran the hall, one named Dashan and the other named Qiangzi.
Compared with other shops, Song Jingshu pays more generously, so these people are also very diligent and conscientious, which makes Song Jingshu very satisfied.
She didn't want to use Zhou Youan's fame to attract customers.
Therefore, just after the ugly hour, Song Jingshu had already arrived at Shizuka Building with several people.
Mother Li and Dashan went to the vegetable market to select the freshest vegetables, all in accordance with Song Jingshu's requirements, bought the vegetables that should be bought, and bought them in strict accordance with her requirements.
Song Jingshu, Cui He, and Qiangzi are customizing "flyers" together, preparing to attract customers.
"Sister Song, I think we just opened today, and we should give customers some discounts, so as to attract customers."
Cuihe said seriously, "I look at the restaurants next door to us, and the business is very good. ”
"If we want to attract customers, we may have to start with the price."
Unexpectedly, Cuihe, this girl seems to be honest, and she also understands these doorways.
Song Jingshu couldn't help but look at her twice.
Originally, she thought the same way, not only was she able to get a better price, but she even instructed Dashan to buy a lot of small gifts, and customers who entered the store had a free gift to receive.
Her shop had just opened, and it was a blank period.
At this time, don't think about making money, the most important thing is to accumulate customers first.
Anyway, Zhou Youan borrowed a hundred taels of silver from her, and now there are sixty or seventy taels left, which is enough.
"Not bad."
Song Jingshu glanced at Cuihe appreciatively and continued, "I have already instructed Dashan to buy some small gifts, such as earrings, step shakes, etc., to give to female customers. ”
"And the male customers will give brushes, inkstones, etc."
"Kids, you can get some small toys."
"As long as I attract customers to the shop, I am confident that I can keep them to eat in our Shizuka Building, and even become repeat customers."
Regarding the plan for repeat customers, Song Jingshu plans to adopt a "membership system" or a "point system".
For example, send a membership card to a guest, and record how much silver or copper plate the guest has "recharged" in total, and become a member of Jingxiang Building, you can get 8.8% off each consumption, and even give a free dish on your birthday.
The point system is the original price consumption, but how many points can be accumulated at one consumption.
When the time comes, you can accumulate a certain amount of points, and you can eat a meal for free that is within the price of a few silver.
But that's all for later, you have to start the business before you can think about other things.
Song Jingshu's idea was unanimously agreed by Cuihe and several people.
When Mama Li and Dashan came back with vegetables and other things, Song Jingshu took Cuihe and began to prepare for the selling points to be launched in the morning, and Mama Li started.
Oyama and Hadron continue to race against time to prepare the flyer.
Seeing that there was already a trace of fish belly white in the sky, there was also a mouth-watering fragrance wafting out of the kitchen of Shizuka Building.
Cuihe is also used to housework at home, and for the steamed buns and steamed buns that she is used to eating, Cuihe does not need Song Jingshu's advice, she has already prepared them and put them in the steamer.
Song Jingshu was boiling beef and fat sausages, preparing to blanch rice noodles later.
Mama Li followed Song Jingshu's method and boiled a pot of thick porridge with mushrooms and lean pork.
After all this last night, the sky had already opened, there were already pedestrians walking on the street, and the steamed bun shop next door also began to sell hard, "In the bun!" Fresh and hot steamed buns, selling steamed buns! ”
Seeing that everything in the kitchen was ready, and the tables and chairs outside had been placed neatly, Song Jingshu was excited.
After calling Cuihe and the others together, Song Jingshu asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Ready, hostess!"
Cuihe and the others also said excitedly.
Several of them, although they have also worked for restaurants and run halls in the past, this is the first time they have started from scratch with one person.
What's more, they also know that behind Song Jingshu is Zhou Youan.
can get involved with the Zhou family, even if it is a buddy, Dashan and the others are very excited.
"Now that we're all ready, let's split up!"
Song Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and said.
Dashan and Qiangzi hung the red silk on the plaque and pasted the couplet, so that all the firecrackers were placed.
Song Jingshu, Cui He, and even Li's mother all took flyers and began to distribute flyers on the street to attract customers.
Whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, or a person who can see at a glance whether he is poor or rich, Song Jingshu does not want to miss the opportunity to win over.
"Hello, Shizuka House is open today, all dishes will be 20% off, as long as customers who enter the store will be free of charge!"
Song Jingshu presented the flyer with both hands, with a bright smile on his face, and said warmly and politely, "The dishes of Jingxianglou are novel and unique, delicious and fresh, you can try it!" ”
Even the customers who didn't want to go to taste it, but seeing such a bright and friendly smile from Song Jingshu and the others, they couldn't help but take the flyer and nodded with a smile.
As the saying goes: don't hit a smiling person when you reach out.
Cuihe and Li's mother also attracted a lot of customers.
Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Song Jingshu motioned to the mountain to light the firecrackers.
The sound of crackling firecrackers was deafening, and it attracted many pedestrians to come and see the excitement.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiangzi also began to distribute leaflets, enthusiastically reciting the set of rhetoric that Song Jingshu taught them.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, and even the shopkeeper and his buddies from the bun shop next door came over to see the excitement, Song Jingshu became more and more excited.
After the firecrackers were set off, puffs of green smoke floated in the air.
Song Jingshu cleared his throat and said aloud to everyone, "Everyone! Today is the opening day of my Jingxiang Restaurant, and all the dishes will be 20% off! ”
"I know that everyone is used to the taste of various restaurants, but the dishes at Shizuka House are very new! Guaranteed you haven't eaten it! There are some tastings at the door, so everyone can come in and try them, and if you like to stay. ”
Song Jingshu clapped her hands, didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "In addition, free small gifts have been prepared for customers who enter the store today, as long as customers enter the store can receive them for free!" ”
Hadron instantly ripped off the red silk, revealing the signboard of "Shizuka Building", and everyone immediately began to applaud enthusiastically, "Good!" ”
When I heard that there were free gifts to receive and food tastings, many people began to pour into the store.
Qiangzi kept handing out the dishes to everyone at the tasting table, and Cuihe smiled and beckoned customers who were willing to order to sit down and handed over the menu.
Dashan is still working hard outside.
Seeing that more and more people were entering the store, and there was already a long queue, Song Jingshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, she found that not far from the crowd, Zhou Youan was looking at her with a smile.
