Chapter 14 The hot pot restaurant officially opened

After seeing this line of words, Zhao Yingluo was ecstatic, which meant that from now on, she would have her own shop, and she seemed to see countless gold and silver treasures running towards her one by one.

In addition to being happy, she also felt pain for the old general, although since the Jingkang Change, the price of the store in Kaifeng City has fallen by half, but this three-story small building is also worth 10,000 yuan. He bought this small building for himself, and he really made a lot of money.

Thinking of this, after she decided to make money, she immediately returned the money she owed to Zong Ze and Lu Haowen.

"Thank you, old general, for making it complete!"

"Your seed has made hundreds of people in the Great Song Dynasty see hope, the old man should thank you, go and see your shop, the old man will discuss the matter of the Emperor Taishang with Lord Lu."

Zong Ze's words were exactly what she wanted, so she didn't even bother to eat breakfast and beckoned Chun Tao and Green Pothos out of the house.

When the shop had arrived, the owner had just opened, followed by a number of sturdy young men and a few carriages, which seemed to be packing their things.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was her, he hurriedly stepped forward to talk, "I looked away, it turns out that this little lady is an acquaintance with the old general Zong, and I knew that I should have treated her well." ”

"The owner doesn't have to be polite, where are you going to move now?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Go to Lin'an, although Kaifeng City has ushered in a rare peace, but who knows how many years this peace will be?" In case of repeated wars, this Kaifeng city will be miserable. ”

"What if this Kaifeng City won't have last year's catastrophe?"

"This little lady, I'm afraid you haven't seen the ruthlessness of the Jin people, and it is better than the Liao people, although the current Great Song Dynasty has the pillar of the country like General Zong, but how many people are like General Zonglao in the court? Sooner or later, this Kaifeng City will be owned by the Jin people, and it is important for us to save the lives of the small people. ”

Zhao Yingluo listened to it and didn't argue with him, most of the ordinary people think so, those who have money can escape, and those who don't have money can only be judged by fate.

As soon as the old and new shops entered, the able-bodied laborers began to move their belongings.

"I'm about to cross to the south now, if you have any of these objects in the store, just tell me, I'll leave them for you."

After Zhao Yingluo looked around, there was nothing that matched her decoration style, so she refused the kindness of the store owner, but the dozen urns of wine in the wine storage area behind aroused her interest.

Hot pot with wine, this is the best choice! Most importantly, she feels that the wine here is mellow and not irritating to the stomach, and has a different fragrance.

"Shopkeeper, can you sell these dozen urns of wine to me?"

"The little lady knows the goods, these more than a dozen urns of wine are all from Tokyo winemakers, there are Fengle Lou's 'Meishou, and Zhi', there are Hele Lou's 'Qiong Jelly', and Yuxian Lou's 'Jade Liquid', if you want it, for the sake of General Zong's face, I will sell it to you at a fifty discount."

Nandu Lin'an, these liquors are not suitable for long-distance travel, since Zhao Yingluo is willing to ask for it, the owner of the store is also happy to relax.

After some calculations, Zhao Yingluo finally bought these dozen urns of wine for 500 yuan.

The evacuation of the owner was very fast, and it only took half a day for the restaurant to be emptied. The move of the restaurant also attracted onlookers from diners.

"Why is this Taiping Restaurant closed? There are a lot of customers every day. ”

"I heard that a lot of officers and soldiers came last night, could it be that this boss did something?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if the boss makes a mistake, can he still move happily?"

"It's a pity...... I'll just be good for their family's wine and food. ”

……

After the shopkeeper finished moving the last bit of things, he saw that there were many people outside, so he arched his hand and said with a smile, "Taiping Restaurant is about to move to Lin'an, thanks to your love over the years, if he has a fate, we will see you in Lin'an." ”

After a polite exchange with the diners, the owner said hello to Zhao Yingluo and left.

After seeing the owner leave, Zhao Yingluo took the heavy key, looked at the empty restaurant, and turned her head to say to the diners who had not yet dispersed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ten days later, the 'Drunken Hibiscus' hot pot will be opened, to ensure that you can experience a completely different hot pot charm, you are welcome to come and taste, you can make an appointment here tomorrow, the first ten guests are free of charge, and the first hundred guests are half price."

When a new store opens, the best way to turn losses into profits as soon as possible is to get customers quickly, these old customers in front of you are treasures, as long as these old customers are left, you don't have to worry about word of mouth not going out.

After arranging all this, Zhao Yingluo and the three of them immediately returned to the house, and after lunch, they greeted the newly recruited shopkeeper Zhao Jinlai, the newly trained six cooks and the twenty-eight shopkeepers, as well as the dining table, chairs and other decoration materials ordered in advance, together with the carpenters and masons, and went straight to the store.

This battle is almost in time for the emperor to go out on patrol.

High-profile? Where does the popularity come from if it's not high-profile?

Her trick to acquire customers really worked.

The next morning, before dawn, people came to line up, and by the time the sun was up, the queue stretched from one end of the street to the other, and experienced diners brought their own small stools and waited patiently.

In order to avoid chaos, Zhao Yingluo had to ask the housekeeper Zhou Wang to transfer more than a dozen servants in the house to help maintain the order of the queue.

It only took an hour for the first 10 free places and the first 100 half-price places to be registered, and those who were not registered saw that they did not grab the places, and all the disappointed people hung on their faces.

Just as they were about to disperse, Zhao Yingluo's words beckoned them back, "As long as you register as a member of our store today, you will receive a 10% discount on every meal in the future, and there will be no such discount after today." ”

With this sentence, she successfully recruited nearly 200 members.

Ten days later, that is, on the first day of the ninth lunar month, it was the official opening day of "Drunken Hibiscus", and the renovated three-story building was renovated inside and out, and even the paint was repainted.

The moment the special guests Zong Ze and Zhao Yingluo tore off the red cloth together, the sound of firecrackers was ignited, and the crackling sound continued, announcing the official opening of "Drunken Hibiscus".

After the opening ceremony, Zong Ze, Lu Haowen, Li Gang and others came to the most luxurious private room on the second floor.

The bottom of the pot is naturally spicy, and as for the dipping sauce, it is also prepared according to her experience in later generations, with chili oil, minced garlic, sesame oil, coriander, etc.

While explaining, Zhao Yingluo helped Zong Ze prepare a bowl of dipping sauce that he thought was moderately spicy, and told him to pick up the ingredients in the hot pot that were already ripe.

Zong Ze was a little excited and a little excited in his heart, took a piece of tender mutton slices, dipped it in some dipping sauce, and put it in his mouth, the fragrance, spiciness, garlic and coriander flavors exploded in his mouth together.

The spicy taste made him feel like his soul was about to go out of his body.
