Jin Se put down the chopsticks in her hand, and she said to Wei Qingchen with a serious face: "According to my observation, there is nothing wrong with the dishes on our table. ”

"So, someone deliberately released rumors to damage our reputation as a hot pot?" Wei Qingchen was very angry, someone dared to ruin the reputation of his shop, and he caught that person and punished him severely.

"No, you're mistaken." Jin Se sighed, "There must be a problem with the food in a hot pot restaurant, but the problem is quite big." ”

Jin Se's words made Wei Qingchen's heart heavy. His face was very bad, and he even put down the mutton that was sent to his mouth.

"What the hell is going on?" Although Wei Qingchen is a foodie who can only eat, he is extremely serious when it comes to things around him.

At the beginning, he opened this hot pot restaurant in the hope that the food of hot pot would be carried forward in the imperial capital of Shangxuancheng. Shangrao is cold all year round, and with food like hot pot, people can also eat heart-warming dishes in winter.

Although his eldest brother is a stuffy gourd and his words are very short, Wei Qingchen knows that his elder brother Wei Huaguang likes hot pot very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have written the signature inscription for a hot pot.

"I just took a closer look at the dishes on the table next to me when I was making the seasoning. Most of their meat is not shiny, and the vegetables are somewhat yellowish. The ingredients in the hot pot restaurant must be fresh to retain customers, and now the food in the restaurant is problematic except for our table. ”

Although it was cruel, Jin Se still had to tell Wei Qingchen the truth.

Wei Qingchen was very angry, he was bent on making a hot pot. Now that something like this has happened, how can he explain to Jin Se and his brother, and to the guests who have a hot pot.

Holding back the anger, Wei Qingchen sent someone to call Sister Lan Fu, the shopkeeper of a hot pot, over.

"Master, is there any problem? If you still want to eat, I'll let you do it. "I've been working in the mall for many years. Sister Lan Fu knew at a glance that Wei Qingchen was in a bad mood.

She thinks that what she has done is seamless, and she is not worried about Wei Qingchen's accountability.

"Eat? I'm not in the mood to eat right now! What you did without me, you know in your own heart that I don't want to be too ugly. You tell me honestly, I think I will spare your life for the sake of your hard work for so long. Wei Qingchen's eyes stared at the boss, and fire was about to burst out in his eyes.

"I'm wronged, I don't know what the master wants me to say! I worked hard to take care of this shop. Get up early and be greedy late every day, and dare not be sloppy. Sister Lan Fu shouted injustice.

But Wei Qingchen didn't believe her words.

"Don't make any effort in vain, since you don't want to say it. See you in court! Wei Qingchen originally wanted to give Sister Lan Fu another chance, but since the other party was stubborn, he had no choice but to take tough measures.

Hearing that Wei Qingchen was going to send her to the court, Sister Lan Fu's face was panicked.

"Ye can't send me to the court indiscriminately, I do all this for the good of the store, and I have absolutely no selfish intentions." Sister Lan Fu wanted to defend herself.

"When a hot pot restaurant opened, I asked my brother to bring the freshest ingredients here. I have a tavern and Qinglian Zhai in various countries to cooperate, and the ingredients they send are guaranteed. Jin Se lightly said everything he saw today.

"When I came to the store today, the ingredients you prepared for me and Qingchen are the freshest, both in the bottom of the pot and the dishes, which means that there are still fresh dishes in the store. But I observed the dishes on the next table, their meat and vegetables are not very fresh, you said that you are good to have a hot pot, is it shoddy? ”

Jin Se was also very angry in his heart, in addition to the taste of the bottom of the pot, the most important thing in the hot pot restaurant is the quality of the dishes.

Now that such a thing has been served, the guest has eaten a bad stomach and left a bad impression in his heart, how can he be willing to come again.

"I'm here to save money in the store, and it's a shame that these dishes are thrown away in just one day. Obviously, there is no problem with the dish, so why not use it. I didn't use shoddy, I still used the ingredients sent by Qinglian Zhai, but I put it for a few days, no problem. Sister Lan Fu still didn't realize where her mistake was.

In her heart, she did this so that the store could save a lot of money.

It's just some vegetables and meat, so even if you use yesterday's food, it's no problem at all. Sister Lan Fu felt that she was right, but Wei Qingchen and Zhuang Jinse were calling the truth.

"You think it's okay, but the fact is that some customers have bad stomachs. We have a hot pot reputation that has taken a hit. Wei Qingchen slapped his palm heavily on the table, making a loud noise.

Sister Lan Fu was taken aback, but she didn't dare to refute.

"I have already paid money to the guests who ate badly, and they promised not to pursue it." Sister Lan Fu whispered to defend herself.

Of course, she knew that there were guests who had eaten bad stomachs, but that was only a minority. As an experienced shopkeeper, she came to the door as soon as possible to pay the money to the guests. After receiving the money, they naturally do not talk nonsense.

"Do you think you can solve it with just losing money? The reputation of a hot pot has been damaged, and the guests have become distrustful of us. Business is not as good as it used to be! Jin Se said in the affirmative.

"I didn't ...... No, business is still as good as ever. Sister Lan Fu was reluctant to admit her mistake.

"That's why I saw that there were no new customers in the store, and these people were sitting there all the time. They're the helpers you hire, and they're paid just for sitting here. Jin Se pointed to the guests at the table next to the spice table, "I heard their conversation when I was next to them just now, complaining that the food is not fresh, even if it is fake, they don't want to eat it." ”

Sister Lan Fu couldn't imagine that her little trick of soliciting business was also seen by Jin Se. She was white and didn't know how to explain it: "That's ......"

Because there were no customers in the store, she didn't want the store to look deserted, so she took care of people occupying a place in the store. Such outsiders who don't know the truth think that the business in the store is not bad, and there will be people who don't know the situation to come in for dinner.

"If you engage in so many crooked ways, it's better to improve the dishes in the store." Wei Qingchen listened to the conversation between the two, and was even more disappointed in Sister Lan Fu.

He originally thought that Sister Lan Fu had many years of business experience, and it was easy to deal with the matter of having a hot pot. But I didn't expect that everything she did was self-righteous.

Obviously, she can rely on the taste to retain customers, but she chose a path that should not be taken. Sacrificing guests for their own interests makes guests disappointed in having a hot pot.

While it is true that you can save money by using stale dishes, it comes at the cost of the taste of hot pot. If a restaurant doesn't taste good, no matter how cheap it is, it won't be able to retain customers.
