After Dingxiang Garden opened successfully, business became more and more prosperous in the following days.

Relying on word of mouth, a large number of repeat customers were born in a short period of time and became the main consumer force.

The consumption capacity of customers on Helin Road is significantly higher than that of the snack street outside the north gate of the School of Management. Most of them are in the society and there are very few students. Most people are skillfully ordering orders according to their tastes and preferences, and eating openly is not a problem of wallets.

When guests check out and leave at each table, there are often a lot of bamboo sticks left on the table and empty porcelain plates to be cleaned up, which makes people sigh at the strong appetite of consumers.

The discount activity with a 20% discount was only maintained for one day, and the original price was restored on the second day of opening. In response, some old customers who have visited many times and are more familiar with Aunt Wu made suggestions, saying that the current catering industry is popular in the membership system, VIP cards, etc., and cardholders can enjoy booking, dining priority and price discounts. I hope Dingxiangyuan can also refer to it. Of course, old customers such as them should be given priority.

Aunt Wu told Jiang Yichen about this opinion. Jiang Yichen thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and rejected it.

Membership system, VIP gold card and other models are mainly used by restaurants to win over and retain customers. It seems to have become a common practice in the industry and there is nothing new. However, the spicy hot pot foods here are currently selling very hot and the supply is in short supply. There is no need to do this set of things, and concessions are meaningless. In addition, when the business area is tight, it is divided into different levels, and it is unfair to treat them. Maybe it will easily cause conflicts and disputes.

So let’s forget about this set, at most it’s enough to remove a fraction at the time of checkout.

After listening to his analysis, Aunt Wu felt that it made sense. Now the store is strong, so it is natural for the store to make its own rules. Then she politely rejected the old customers.

In terms of the supply of ingredients in the restaurant, it is still provided by two vegetable dealers who Aunt Wu knew before.

Currently, restaurants consume a large amount of ingredients every day, especially vegetables such as vegetables, lotus root slices, and tofu, which are more considerable, so the enthusiasm of vegetable vendors to deliver goods to their homes has also increased.

Based on the principle of not bothering the two owners, Aunt Wu gave a list of ingredients and asked the vegetable vendor to prepare as ordered. If you don’t have anything, you would buy it and deliver it together. This saved a lot of trouble.

At the same time, two vegetable vendors take turns to supply the goods, maintaining a certain degree of competitiveness to prevent problems such as opaque prices, infresh ingredients, and untimely delivery.

In addition, since the store’s business is so prosperous, there is no need to save too much expense in some places. In addition to the delivery of goods directly to the door by vegetable vendors, gas tank ventilation, rice, flour, grain and oil procurement, etc., are mostly handled accordingly. Although it is more expensive than going there by oneself, it saves a lot of time and energy, which is obviously worth it.

Aunt Wu has multiple jobs alone, and now she is not as good as the wild stalls she used to do. She has many things in all aspects, including logistics procurement, account management, reception of customers, making food, cleaning and hygiene, etc., and she has to do everything, and she gradually feels overwhelmed and is really too busy.

So, she followed Jiang Yichen's advice to add staff, went to the basement rental house where she originally lived, asked for an acquaintance, and saw if there were any suitable conditions and willing to work in the Malatang store.

After searching for him, I met a neighbor who had known Aunt Wu and had talked to each other when I met him.

This is a standard family of three. The couple brought a boy to elementary school. Both of them are from other places and have been working in Linjiang City for more than three years. The woman is in her thirties, named Zhang Fenglan, with round face and short hair, big eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very capable. She used to be an online worker in a private toy factory, but later she also proposed a team leader, and her husband worked in an auto repair shop.

Unexpectedly, in recent years, the toy factories' main export business was greatly affected, and they were forced to reduce production capacity and lay off a group of employees. Zhang Fenglan was unfortunately designated among this group of people.

The family lives a tight life with a man's low salary alone. After a while, Zhang Fenglan couldn't stay anymore and planned to go out to find a job to subsidize the family income, but happened to meet Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu liked this down-to-earth and virtuous woman very much, so she stepped up her recruitment. Zhang Fenglan heard that her work location was not far from her residence, but she was still satisfied because it was convenient for her to go home to take care of her children.

After a while of negotiation, the two sides successfully reached an agreement. Zhang Fenglan went to the store to work. The probation period was one month, the salary was 1,800 yuan, and she was in charge of two meals. After the probation period, she mentioned 2,000 yuan. If the benefits were good, there would be bonuses, holiday expenses and other benefits.

In this way, the Malatang restaurant has added a main staff member and finally it is not so nervous.

Regarding the business hours of the Malatang store, Jiang Yichen also made a unique arrangement. Although the number of clerks increased, he did not intend to develop a continuous business model of more than ten hours a day that most of his catering industry peers were popular. Because it was really unnecessary, the store did not rely on small profits and high sales, and the other hand, it was not good to make Aunt Wu’s grandparents and grandchildren overworked.

So, after discussing with Aunt Wu, he set the daily business hours to two sections: open at 10:30 in the morning, rest at 1:30 in the afternoon, open at 5:00 in the afternoon, close at 7:30 in the afternoon, and posted notices to officially announce them to customers.

Jiang Yichen himself began to enter the internship stage. After the school arranged it, he and several other classmates in his class were sent to an internship at a trading company in Chengbei, the city.

Originally, they still had some expectations for the internship unit and thought they could learn something. But after work, they realized that the so-called internship is actually doing odd jobs, sorting out materials, typing, sending and receiving letters, picking up newspapers, moving things, cleaning, and doing everything. They are basically regarded as free labor. They have nothing to do with the e-commerce major they studied.

However, this is also impossible. The unit holds the power of internship appraisal. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the roof.

Jiang Yichen and his classmates had to cheer up and follow the instructions. They were busy every day and did not dare to be late or leave early.

After a week, perhaps the department manager thought these young men were doing well and were honest and obedient, so in addition to a free lunch, they also gave them a subsidy of 100 yuan each. It was considered an additional gain.

Because internships are similar to work, and there are three magic shows a week, Jiang Yichen has no spare time and has fewer opportunities to go to Dingxiang Garden.
