Chapter 224: We Don't Have These
The person who asked the question was a master who was not bad for money, and subconsciously thought that the one with a menu was better and more faced, so he stretched out his hand along Xia Yu's words: "Menu? Can you show me? ”
Originally, Xia Yu's hand was empty, but as soon as he said this, he saw Xia Yu stretch out a hand and scoop it behind him, and a long strip of wood was held in his hand, and the wood chip was also filled with a lot of rice paper, and the rice paper was tightly fixed with an unknown thing. Then he touched the root of his ear with his empty hand, and there was a wooden stick pinned to Xia Yu's ear.
The man was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused by the scene in front of him.
"Guest, this is our menu, what do you want to eat? If it's not convenient to see, I'll give you the name of the dish directly! "The so-called inconvenience is actually to take care of some illiterate guests.
Although this is a prosperous Huating County, don't forget that this is also a backward and ancient place where there is no universal education. The vast majority of people are illiterate, and even those with small wealth are mostly illiterate.
However, what Xia Yu didn't know was that this seemingly ordinary guest was actually literate. But he felt that since he entered this store, what he saw and heard was something he had never seen in other stores.
So, he lied without blinking his eyes and said, "It's not convenient, please ask the little brother to report the name of the dish."
Xia Yu didn't doubt it, and opened her mouth to come: "Steamed bear paws and steamed deer antlers." We don't have any of that! ”
Guest: "." You don't mean so much about feelings! It hurt him to think that he had entered some kind of high-end restaurant hidden in the city! At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't, although he had a lot of money in his pocket, but that was only a comparison.
Compared with the common people who do not have enough to eat, he can be regarded as a small landlord. But compared to the rich man of silk and satin, he is just a small shrimp that is not eye-catching.
If you really give him a whole table of steamed bear's paws or something, he will take off his clothes and sell them today, but I'm afraid he won't be able to repay his debts!
"Ahem, what do you have here?"
Xia Yu was actually extremely worried after reporting the names of the dishes that didn't exist. asked him to say that such behavior was undoubtedly underserved, but Xia Huai said that their store should be different from the one next to them, and what kind of temperature restaurant should they have. Let the guests who come to Xia Kee Restaurant come happily and leave satisfied.
It's not that Xia Yu doesn't believe Xia Huai, the main thing is that he has never heard of such a thing! These unpredictable guests, can they eat this set?!
Obviously, they did eat it.
When Xia Yu received guests, the rest of the people who entered the hall of the restaurant were also assigned to receive them by the people of the old Xia family.
Whether it's the menu or the name of the dish, whether it's explaining the in-store furnishings or introducing the opening offers. These things, which seem to have never existed in this world, have magically made these natives easily acceptable.
Not only did they accept it, but they also seemed excited. Sitting at the table is eager to order all the dishes!
Lao Xia's family is actually very happy about this situation, but Xia Huai said again, order in moderation, and be sure to remind guests in time not to order too much. In particular, the number of à la carte dishes is much higher than the number of diners.
Xia Huai is not only afraid that the food will be wasted, but also worried that after these masters who are not bad for money have eaten and drunk, there are a lot of dishes left on the table, if this is seen by the guests who have just come in, what will they think?
There must be some people wondering in their hearts, is the food here not delicious? Otherwise, this is both oil and meat, why don't people finish it? Could it be that their money is blown by the wind?
It is true that the ancients were more frugal than the modern people.
But don't forget, the character of a good face, whether ancient or modern, exists. In order to prevent this matter from fermenting to the point where it affects the reputation of the restaurant, Xia Huai can only remind in advance and let everyone pay more attention.
People are curious, and the more you don't let me do more, the more strange I feel in my heart, and I will rebel and want more.
But the rules are in front of you, and you can only order the dishes you eat. This not only eliminates the danger of ruining the restaurant's reputation, but also increases the desire of these customers to order again after eating.
No, according to the practice of many. But whoever goes to the restaurant, orders as much as he eats, even if he is not full, that's it.
After settling in the customers for stir-frying, soon a large number of people who did not have so much spare money in their hands poured into the store.
This type of person doesn't have much money, but he wins by numbers. The so-called small profits but quick turnover, as long as the quantity comes up, I am not afraid of not making money!
"Guys, this is our self-pickup area, and this is where you pay. Pay the money first, then choose the dishes. For all dishes, the price of each of the five items is 10 Wen, and so on. If you want to continue to take it, the 10 Wen dish will pay 5 Wen for the second time, 1 Wen for the third time, and so on, and the guests who understand please come to my left hand side to pay the money. ”
These people are illiterate and their brains are not so bright, so they can't avoid explaining it several times. But Xia Huai said that the customer is a soldier sent by God, and he must be served! It's all for the people who make money for them, what's wrong with explaining it twice more?!
After they absorb and digest it, they are guided to line up on one side, each holding a wooden disc and waiting in line to eat. Those who have paid will receive a wooden plaque with colours and specific words to distinguish them.
For example, a person who buys five kinds of dishes holds a wooden sign in his hand that is square, with 'five' written on the top and 'one' written on the bottom. The ten dishes are round wooden plaques with 'ten' and 'one' written respectively.
If it is renewed for the second time, it must be replaced with a brand like "five", "two" or "ten" and "two".
Just in case someone fishes in troubled waters, the store must find someone to keep an eye on every customer. Although this is indeed troublesome, there was no monitoring in ancient times, and it can only be done temporarily.
The people who were outside couldn't help but wonder when they saw that those who had gone in had not come out for a long time. In the past, there were people who joined in to see the opening of other new stores, but most of them didn't stay to eat, and they were just happy!
What's going on today?
Seeing this, Shi struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, have you seen it too?" Our Xia Ji Restaurant is definitely worth the money, but if anyone comes to our Xia Ji Restaurant, I don't say a big thing, at least there are one or two dishes that you can't eat outside! ”
"Besides, our Xia Ji Restaurant is for the common people, as long as there are a few copper plates in your pocket, you can afford to eat and eat enough!"
"What are you hesitating about? Go straight in! I promise that you will not be disappointed when you come to eat at our restaurant! And it's cheap to eat today, don't take advantage of nothing! ”
This is true and has reached the hearts of everyone, this year, especially when natural disasters have just passed, it is the time when there is no success, and it is a bastard to take advantage of it!
