Chapter 4 Commencement

The next day, An Juan, Song Jian and Song Qin all got up early, planning to find a good location to open a hotel.

The three of them are all newcomers, and they are not familiar with Jincheng, so they don't know where to find a house to redeem.

At this time, the shopkeeper came forward again and introduced them to the courtyard next door.

While thanking her, An Juan couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you afraid that we will rob your business?" ”

The shopkeeper did not answer An Juan's straightforward question, but turned his head to look at her with a smile after shaking his head: "Little Lao'er actually has no shortage of food and clothing at home, but he has nothing to do, so he opened this inn. ”

There was a bit of humor and a hint of self-deprecation in his words, and An Juan followed behind him, listening to him finish speaking, and then replied in the affirmative: "I will definitely open the hotel prosperously!" ”

The old shopkeeper had actually seen through the warmth and coldness of people, so he turned around and tried to persuade An Juan kindly, telling her not to be so ambitious and to know how to look at her feet......

But as soon as he turned around, he crashed into An Juan's eyes.

The girl's expression was resolute and confident, as if the great problems could not repel her.

The shopkeeper silently closed his mouth, and no longer commented on An Juan's thoughts, only afraid that he would kill a dream.

The owner of the courtyard next to him is a friend of the shopkeeper, and now when he sees him bringing someone to see the house, he looks at the face of his old friend and gives An Juan a very low price, letting her rent fifty taels for half a year.

I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, An Juan smiled and couldn't stop thanking the old man.

Before the owner could speak, the shopkeeper took the initiative to take over the conversation, and snorted very arrogantly: "Old man, this is a chance for you, if your business does not improve at all after half a year, you will have to collect the price as usual." ”

His appearance was vicious, but An Juan could see the true meaning hidden under the skin, so he responded with a smile: "Thank you, I will definitely make the hotel bigger!" ”

Now that there is a store, An Juan's heart is also a lot more relaxed, and she hurriedly began to prepare tables, chairs and kitchen utensils with Song Jian and Song Qin, and also give their small restaurant a name......

An Juan has also done these things in modern times, so if she starts again in ancient times, she can also consider the needs thoughtfully, so that she will not find that there is a lack of salt and oil after half of the cooking.

The shopkeeper next to him was idle all day long and had nothing to do, seeing that An Juan was busy here, and he also appreciated the enthusiasm of young people, he often took the initiative to provide her with some information, and even took the initiative to go out to bring her some high-quality spices from Jincheng.

In this kind of busy moment, the old man's help and encouragement are like a gentle dose of Chinese medicine, dispelling the anger in An Juan's heart, allowing her to stabilize and continue to plan her small business little by little.

She had the intention to let the old man join the shares, but she felt that it was really suspicious of making money to say this kind of thing now, so she made a plan, and when she made achievements in the future, she took the initiative to give him a part of the shares, which could be regarded as a reward for his help.

After three days of hard work, this ordinary courtyard has finally been made with some fireworks, and it looks like a cozy little restaurant.

At this time, An Juan had also harvested three waves of vegetables, and they were stacked to the far corners of the space, densely squeezed together, but naturally tender, as if they had just been picked from the field.

Song Jian and Song Qin are both people who have read books, so An Juan asked one of them to help run the hall and the other to be responsible for bookkeeping.

Now that everything has begun to take shape, as long as the red cloth on the plaque is removed, the hotel called "Yuanju Pavilion" can be opened smoothly, but Anwan still has no plans to officially open.

Song Jian and Song Qin watched time pass day by day, but An Juan was haunted all day long, and they were very anxious.

One night, Song Qin blocked An Wan and frowned to ask her about her plans.

Only then did An Juan remember to share her plan with the two of them, so she pulled Song Qin to the other party's room and told her plan:

Since An Juan is a person who came from modern times, even if she can't fully comprehend those marketing tricks of modern times, she can always know several methods, such as discounts, promotions, buy one get one free, membership cards, etc......

In the past few days, An Wan has found someone to draw a big sign that can stand at the door, and found someone to make a few exquisite membership cards out of wood chips.

Song Qin didn't know much about what An Juan did, but vaguely felt very interesting.

After explaining all these things, An Juan told Song Qin that she had contacted a vegetable farmer, and they would send a cart of vegetables over tomorrow morning.

Song Qin listened to An Wan's string of beads, and just wanted to say something, but was robbed of the language by the other party again: "By the way, Qin'er, when you keep accounts, you must write it down carefully, and there must be no mistakes...... We're just a small shop now, and if someone catches something, it's just over. ”

Hearing An Juan say the word "finished", Song Qin's figure shook unconsciously, and then nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Well, Sister An is right, my father and I will definitely be careful!" ”

After she finished saying this, she saw a relieved expression on An Juan's face, and then turned around and walked out the door.

Song Qin opened her mouth, and just wanted to ask An Juan how much the dishes she sent tomorrow morning and whether they were new or not, when she suddenly recalled her tired eyes.

Forget it, anyway, the dish has been ordered, and I can't regret it temporarily, so let's watch it tomorrow morning.

Thinking about it like this, Song Qin went to Song Jian and relayed to him what An Juan had just told her.

Song Jian's first reaction to An Juan's many ingenious ideas was surprise and doubt, but after realizing the reason, all that was left in his heart was admiration for this young woman.

In the early morning, An Juan got up early, had breakfast at a stall on the street, went to the backyard to dig out the cart, and then picked out a part of the vegetables in the space, and the cart was piled up in an instant.

These green vegetables are excessively tender, and several of the leaves are even wet with water droplets, which makes people happy to see.

An Wan paced to the door of the Yuanju Pavilion, and found that although it was not the peak period for pedestrians, there were already several people gathered here.

Seeing An Juan coming out of the door, an aunt who took the lead asked in a loud voice: "Girl, is it really buy one get one free for the food here?" ”

Finding that this aunt shouted, the eyes of passers-by were also attracted, An Juan realized that now is a good time to advertise, so he stepped forward and replied loudly: "Yes, absolutely buy one get one free!" But only for the first 100 people today, one person can only buy one plate of buy one get one free dish! ”

Saying that, An Juan looked around and saw that everyone was coming around one after another, so he put a smile on his face and continued to introduce the benefits of their store: "Because our store just opened today, as long as you buy something today, you will get six percent off!" The original dish with a hundred copper plates can be bought today with sixty copper plates! ”

Now that Song Jian and Song Qin have arrived, An Juan asked one of them to continue shouting for himself in front, and the other went to the backyard to help with the vegetables.

As soon as Song Jian walked into the backyard, he noticed a pile of vegetables on the small cart.

He was far away, and he didn't see the specific situation, but he felt that these vegetables were so green and beautiful.

After walking in, his evaluation of these dishes is not just good-looking...... All the vegetables were big and beautiful, tender enough to pinch out the water, and he didn't have to think about it to know how nice and delicious things would look and eat with them.

Together, the two of them pushed the dishes to the back kitchen, and then sorted them out for Anwan's use.

As for the meat that was needed, it had already been cut and placed in the basin next to it.

An Juan checked the spices, knives and stoves again, and made sure that there were no problems, so he signaled Song Jian to go to the unveiling.

At the same time, An Juan also put up the bottom of the pot, and the dish can be prepared faster in a while.

When they opened, it was when the number of people on the street began to increase, and many people were attracted by the bustle at the door and came to join in the fun, but when they heard about the generosity of the new store, they became one of the customers who were attracted to it.

Although An Juan is very confident in her plan, the goal she set for herself is only "200 people for the first opening".

She now uses her hands together and moves quickly, making a dish in almost a few minutes, but looking out, this small restaurant is still crowded with people, and it is estimated that it can only be compared to the subway during the morning rush hour.

When there are too many people, disputes are likely to arise.

Seeing the people outside huddled together like ants, An Juan felt panicked, only afraid that they would have some dispute and cause trouble for her small shop.

So when Song Qin came to pick up the food, An Juan warned her again and again that she must work with Song Jian to control the order of the scene, and would rather have fewer customers than accidents.

Song Qin's father and daughter also knew about this problem, so they repeatedly asked customers to line up in the house to pick up food, and took care of the elderly present from time to time, trying to make no soil for disputes to breed.

They were so careful to maintain order all morning, and by the time it was almost noon, the 100 plates of buy one get one free were finally sold out, and the restaurant was suddenly a lot more free.

At this time, it happened to be the time for lunch, and many passers-by saw that there was a new restaurant here, and it seemed that there were still many people in it, so they also walked in with their friends in twos and threes, and chose two dishes and a plate of staple food on the menu hanging on the wall, and sat down gracefully.

Now there are not so many things, so Song Qin came to the back kitchen to ask An Juan if she needed help.

An Juan had been cooking all morning, and her arms were faintly sore.

Although she had drunk a few sips of spring water before, she was afraid that the hotel would be delayed after drinking, so she didn't dare to take a bath with spring water like the heroines of other novels, completely detoxifying and nourishing her skin, and her energy was not enough.

Seeing Song Qin come over to help, An Juan breathed a sigh of relief and asked her to help take care of the movement of the stir-fry in the pot, while she sat on the small stool next to her, picking vegetables with her sore arms, which was also a kind of rest.

Song Qin has never cooked, so An Juan was by her side to guide her throughout the whole process.

When another table of guests came, An Juan drove her over to entertain the guests, and she continued to take charge, spreading the aroma of the dishes throughout the small restaurant, and even overflowing to the outside.

When researching the recipes, An Juan wanted to make some Western dishes for these ancient people to taste, but after thinking about it, not to mention whether Western food can be understood and accepted by the public in this era, she can't find a substitute for those salads and sauces.

It's better to cook oriental food honestly...... But fried chicken and mashed potatoes can be on the agenda.

An Xuan's brain was spinning rapidly, but the movements in his hands were not delayed, and he quickly put several dishes on a plate, and then beckoned Song Qin to come and serve them to the guests.

And so they ended the day's work.
