Chapter 40 The opening of the restaurant
"It turned out to be someone sent by Mr. Yu, it's really a long way to go, please come in!"
Zhao Qingyan raised his hand respectfully, and casually beckoned a shopkeeper to let him lead the distinguished guests to their seats, and it is estimated that there is no place to settle down in the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Yu is still a person who does what he says, and she was worried that she would make him dissatisfied if she politely rejected the olive branch thrown by the other party.
Looking at the gift sent by Mr. Yu, the big stone in Zhao Qingyan's heart also slowly fell, and she felt that she had great confidence that she would definitely be able to run the third or fourth restaurant prosperously.
"Come on! The shopkeeper shows tea to all the guests! ”
In the blink of an eye, her crisp voice spread through the restaurant.
Time passed little by little, and people with coupons appeared at the door of the third or fourth restaurant one after another, most of them had never seen this method of soliciting customers, and they were very curious about the red posts in their hands.
"I don't know how the dishes of this restaurant are, to be honest, we are also trying to have a sense of freshness, if it is not affordable, we will not come next time!"
A middle-aged man in a linen robe was talking to Zhao Qingyan while queuing, he didn't notice that the person in front of him was a woman dressed as a man, and only regarded him as the shopkeeper who had a good relationship with the prince.
As soon as his words fell, many people around him also echoed a few words, and their noisy appearance made Zhao Qingyan have a headache. The fame gained in the cooking competition does not represent the standard of the entire restaurant, and the people know it. It is indeed difficult to cater to the tastes of so many people, and most of the dishes she has developed are relatively heavy in taste, which is difficult for people who are used to light to accept in a short period of time.
However, Zhao Qingyan thought about it again, her dishes were also loved by Shizi and Xiao Lan, and even the concubines of Shangshu Mansion praised her again and again, and she would never capsize here.
"Rest assured, today is the first day of business for the shop, but any dishes that don't meet everyone's taste can be discounted by 5%!"
She came up with modern methods, after all, she is a chef who is a private chef, and it is more than enough to appease the emotions of the guests.
Zhao Qingyan kept giving herself a shot in the arm, and her figure was flexible at the door, Wen Qiao and Xiao Lan, who were sitting in the noble seat on the second floor of the wine shop, stared at her figure tightly, and the corners of their mouths invariably raised a good-looking arc.
"Look, it's only the first day's work, the first floor is almost full, I didn't expect this Miss Zhao to really have a good trick!"
Not to mention what the future of the restaurant will be, it is estimated that with today's turnover, the third or fourth restaurant will make a lot of money. Xiao Lan narrowed her eyes with a smile, as if she had seen Miss Zhao transform into a rich gentleman.
Wen Qiao was silent, he picked up the Biluochun on the pear blossom wooden table and took a sip, feeling the aroma of his lips and teeth before nodding.
"I do have the ability, which also shows that I have a good vision and I don't see the wrong person."
He couldn't help but show a triumphant smile, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and his joking tone made Xiao Lan smile even more cheerfully.
I think Wen Qiao didn't know what the use of issuing coupons was, and no store in the whole capital would come up with such a good idea, focusing on the profits in the hands of the people, and running a restaurant with small profits and quick turnover, which was much more popular than the Yellow Crane Tower and Hookah Building, which were dedicated to serving dignitaries.
Zhao Qingyan is a woman who should not be underestimated, don't look at her young age, and she has easy means and ghost ideas.
Wen Qiao looked at the beautiful back in the distance in a daze, and the appreciation and approval in his eyes were clearly visible.
The lobby on the first floor of the restaurant is full of guests who come to eat, the chef and apprentice in the back kitchen are busy, some are holding a spatula and turning the spoon, some are steaming fish on the fire, and the tempting aroma of the food is slowly spreading, which arouses the cravings in the stomachs of many diners for a while.
"Shopkeeper, why hasn't the food been served yet? It smells so good, I guess the dish is good! ”
"Yes! The shopkeeper hurried to the back kitchen to urge, he couldn't wait! ”
Zhao Qingyan, who was busy entertaining guests, was naturally very happy when he heard these urgings, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if he hurried up, I was afraid that the quality of the dishes would decline.
"The shopkeeper will serve you a few plates of Poria cake to cushion your stomach, and I'll go to the back kitchen to have a look now."
Zhao Qingyan instructed skillfully, and as soon as the words fell, the person went into the aisle to the back kitchen. At this time, Gu Zhiruo appeared at the door of the third or fourth restaurant with a maid, she was wearing a goose-yellow Luo skirt, and her graceful figure attracted the attention of many diners.
Everyone recognized her true identity at a glance, and they couldn't help but talk about it in private.
"Look, Miss Gu is here."
Xiao Lan followed the sound and looked over, even with Wen Qiao's attention moved, the two men stared quietly at the shadow downstairs, the other party seemed to be searching for someone, and took the maid up the stairs in three steps and two steps.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Zhiruo stared at Wen Qiao's eyes steadily, a moment of surprise appeared on his face, and then he pulled a pear blossom wooden chair to sit beside him, and it seemed very natural for the two of them not to speak.
Zhao Qingyan, who ordered the back kitchen, walked out with a few plates of dim sum, and handed it to the shopkeeper next to him, and deliberately left a plate of osmanthus cakes and sent them upstairs.
"How? Business in my small shop is still booming, do you know when you came over? ”
As she spoke, she handed out osmanthus cakes, took a small piece and stuffed it into her small mouth, staring at the three people curiously. At first glance, the three of them should know each other, but just sitting and not talking made Zhao Qingyan suspicious.
Who knew that as soon as Xiao Lan opened the chatterbox, Wen Qiao and Gu Zhiruo next to him made a fuss, the two of them chatted about some interesting things in the capital, and laughed and scolded each other with each other, as if they had known each other a long time ago.
"Miss Zhao, you don't know yet, Shizi and she met when they were children, they studied in the same school, and they have been a pair of happy enemies since childhood."
Being explained by Xiao Lan like this, Zhao Qingyan understood, Wen Qiao frowned and glanced at him complainingly, and spit out a faint sentence in his mouth.
"Remove the word joy, she and I are enemies."
"Cut, I don't bother to mess with you."
Gu Zhiruo also put up the eldest lady's shelf, completely lacking the gentle and virtuous style on weekdays, just like a childish little girl.
The two of them made a lot of noise, and Zhao Qingyan was too busy to greet the guests and had no time to take care of it, so he asked Xiao Lan to accompany them to drink tea and chat, and the atmosphere of the entire third or fourth restaurant became very lively.
After a stick of incense, most of the diners in the lobby on the first floor were full of food and drink, and those who had questioned the strength of the shopkeeper also came over and asked Zhao Qingyan to open the store.
"In the future, the food of the brothers will be settled, don't be proud of the shopkeeper!"
"No problem, as long as you have the heart to come and cheer, I will definitely do a good job."
