Today is Monday, and it is also the opening day of "Mrs. Zhou's Restaurant".
The opening scene of Mrs. Zhou's restaurant was very lively. Lu Shiping specially invited a group of people to perform a lion dance in front of the store to add to the fun. The sound of gongs and drums was very atmospheric, attracting pedestrians around to stop and watch. Amidst the loud sound of firecrackers, Yan Tong
He and Lu Shiping pulled back the red brocade cloth covering the signboard, revealing the "Mrs. Zhou" trademark and the words "Mrs. Zhou Restaurant", and the surrounding crowd also applauded in unison.
In preparation for today's opening, Zhou Hao and Wang Xijun both took a day off to help. Even Situ Jianying came and joined Wang Xijun as a waiter to entertain the guests. Reporters from Xiangcheng TV arrived early, driving cameras.
Interviewed Yan Tong. Yan Tong had never encountered such a posture before, and was at a loss at the beginning. Fortunately, Lu Shiping was by her side, and she became more comfortable with it later. The reporter even wisely gave a red envelope when he left.
, making those reporters smile.
The front of the restaurant is also filled with flower baskets sent by others. Many merchants on this road have sent flower baskets to Mrs. Zhou's restaurant. They know that the restaurant was formerly the hardware store of the bully Huo Liang, and even Huo Liang succumbed to it.
The owner of this restaurant
After that, the surrounding merchants did not dare to offend, and at the same time they showed their kindness. A few people who were interested even discovered that there were two flower baskets in front of Mrs. Zhou's restaurant, and the signatures on them were actually Gao Houlu and Situ Li. They immediately thought that this restaurant had nothing to do with the government.
shallow.
Gao Houlu and Situ Li had a close relationship with Zhou Hao, but they did not come in person for fear of causing a bad impact, so they sent their secretaries to deliver flower baskets.
In order to attract customers, Zhou Hao let the restaurant sell meals at half price for the first three days. In addition, people were already very curious about this unique fast food restaurant, so a large number of people flocked to it on the day it opened, and soon it became popular.
It takes up more than 100 square meters of store space.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of food, not only meals, but also various desserts and drinks. The most popular one is the "Stockings Milk Tea". Everyone is very curious about this Hong Kong specialty drink, and they even praise it after tasting it.
As for the food in the restaurant, because Zhou Hao emphasizes taste and freshness, everyone feels that the food is not like fast food at all, and is much more delicious than the dishes in many hotels.
When school ended at noon, a large number of students who had already received the news swarmed out of the school to visit the newly opened restaurant, and a long queue of people formed in front of the door. Even Li Ruolan, Gao Jingyi, Liu Shichao and Luo Hui came.
, Zhou Hao had already reserved a table for them. Seeing the bustle in the restaurant
Li Ruolan and others were very surprised, and at the same time they were happy for Zhou Hao. When they tasted the dishes in the restaurant, they were full of praise. Liu Shichao wolfed them down and said: "It's much more delicious than the ones in the school canteen."
Okay, compared to you guys, the ones in the canteen are just pig food!"
The chefs in the kitchen and the waiters in the store were all busy, but no one felt tired. They were all filled with a sense of fulfillment and relief, and Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were even more happy. They looked at each other and said,
Everyone saw the excitement and satisfaction in each other's eyes. After many days of preparation, Mrs. Zhou's restaurant finally got off to a good start.
"Business is very good." Zhao Yuqin also drove here and was shocked to see how crowded the restaurant was.
"Sister, why are you here?" Zhou Hao held Zhao Yuqin's hand and smiled.
Zhao Yuqin stretched out her jade finger and tapped his forehead, "Isn't it just for you? I specially found a few traders in Hong Kong to help you manage the money, and now I have invested it all in the futures market."
"Thank you, sister." Zhou Hao hugged Zhao Yuqin's arm and said.
At this time, Zhao Yuqin took out an amethyst mountain with purple light from the car and handed it to Zhou Hao, "Here, this is to congratulate the opening of your restaurant."
Zhou Hao looked at the amethyst mountain in surprise. He estimated that it was worth more than 100,000 yuan. Just as he was about to say thank you to Zhao Yuqin, he saw her angry look. At that moment, he understood that given the relationship between them, saying thank you would seem to be disrespectful.
, and although the more than 100,000 yuan was a lot, it was insignificant compared to the funds the two of them had.
When Yan Tong and Lu Shiping saw Zhao Yuqin coming, they hurried out to greet her. Zhao Yuqin was really responsible for the success of Mrs. Zhou's restaurant, so Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were very grateful to Zhao Yuqin.
Looking at the long queue of students and adults in front of the restaurant, Zhao Yuqin smiled and said, "It seems you are planning to open a branch."
Yan Tong said: "This is the first day of opening. We don't dare to think about branching out so soon."
"You can't say that." Zhao Yuqin said with a smile: "You see the restaurant is so popular, you have to occupy the market as soon as possible before others follow suit."
Zhou Hao also nodded, "Actually, I think so too. Although today is only the first day of opening, our restaurant is also very popular with customers, especially students. Their spending power is very huge, so we can't let it go."
I took this opportunity." He said to Yan Tong and Lu Shiping: "Mom, Aunt Lu, didn't you see a good store in front of the main entrance of No. 2 Middle School earlier? If it is suitable, we will buy it.
"
Hearing what Zhao Yuqin and Zhou Hao said, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were a little moved. Besides, Yan Tong and the others didn't spend much money on this first Mrs. Zhou's restaurant. Huo Liang gave it to them for free, and he even paid for it.
One hundred thousand yuan was given to Zhou Hao. Even the decoration was done by him, so this restaurant can be regarded as a "business without capital". The one hundred thousand yuan that Yan Tong originally prepared can also be used for the second store.
Preparations are on.
"But I'm afraid we won't be able to manage the two stores." Yan Tong expressed her concerns.
"You don't need to take care of these things yourself. Just set up a store manager. Mom, you and Aunt Lu don't have to take care of the store. You only need to take care of people and money." Zhou Hao said with a smile.
Therefore, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were running the restaurant in front of Yuning Middle School while preparing a branch in front of No. 2 Middle School in Xiangcheng City.
The popularity of the restaurant was beyond Yan Tong's expectation. After the first three days of opening, the food and drinks in the store officially returned to their original prices, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the customers, because even if the prices returned to the original prices,
It is not much more expensive than other fast food restaurants, and the food here is delicious and the environment is good, which is far inferior to other fast food restaurants. In particular, Zhou Hao introduced the concept of "non-smoking area". Customers and waiters are not allowed to smoke in the store, which makes
Students are very useful.
At the beginning, some smokers were very repulsive to this "non-smoking area", and some people even wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but every time this happened, a few tall and strong men would drag them out and give them a severe lesson. Over time, they became
No one dares to cause trouble in Mrs. Zhou's restaurant.
Those strong men were actually Huo Liang's subordinates. After Huo Liang found out that Zhou Hao also had a close relationship with Zhao Dingzhou, the commander of the military region, he tried even harder to show his favor to Zhou Hao. Moreover, Wen Xiangdong, the most powerful man in the underworld in Xiangcheng,
He respects Zhou Hao very much, so Huo Liang doesn't feel ashamed at all to surrender to Zhou Hao, but is proud of it. With Huo Liang's secret care, no one in Mrs. Zhou's restaurant dares to make trouble in this area.
Create a good business environment for it.
Zhou Hao asked Mrs. Zhou's restaurant to follow the route of small profits but quick turnover, focusing more on building reputation. The reality did not live up to Zhou Hao's expectations. With the intentional publicity of the Xiangcheng City TV station, Mrs. Zhou's restaurant quickly became famous in Xiangcheng.
, many students from other schools made a special trip to patronize it, so Mrs. Zhou's Restaurant also got the nickname "Student Restaurant". At the same time, students from other schools also requested Mrs. Zhou's Restaurant to open branches near their schools.
Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were extremely excited about the restaurant's profits. After deducting various costs, Mrs. Zhou's restaurant had a profit of more than 50,000 yuan in the first month alone, which strengthened their determination to open a branch.
The days are peaceful and fulfilling, and Zhou Hao's life is also very nourishing. He can see Li Ruolan and Gao Jingyi at school, flirt with Wang Xijun at home, and occasionally go out to have fun with Situ Jianying or Zhao Yuqin, which makes Zhou Hao happy.
Hao felt as if he was living among flowers.
The final exam was approaching, but Zhou Hao did not focus on coping with the exam. In his eyes, an exam of this level was really not worth mentioning, and it was easy to pass. So during this period, he only focused on two aspects.
, the first is the information about the stock markets in Hong Kong and even around the world, and then cooperate with your own
The memory of his previous life remotely controls the money in the Hong Kong futures market. On the other hand, he has read the entire "Shen Nong Baicao" in detail. He has informed Yan Tong, Wang Xijun and others that he will use his winter vacation time to talk to Xiao Jiming
We went together to find the origin of those medicinal materials and got Yan Tong's permission.
She had met Xiao Jiming and knew that he was a responsible young man, and she also knew that Zhou Hao's son was very independent, so she was not worried about them going out.
At this time, Zhou Hao was in his room, holding "Shen Nong Baicao" in his hand.
Closing the book, he closed his eyes, and the contents of "Shen Nong Baicao" came to his mind. Then, he took out a lighter.
After being reminded by Zhao Dingzhou, he knew that if people knew that he had a large number of magical prescriptions, he would fall into a dangerous situation and be criticized by the public, so he could not let others know the existence of "Shen Nong Baicao". During this period, he
I memorized all the contents in "Shen Nong's Baicao" and copied the herbal pictures in it individually.
Regarding the "Qing Nang Sutra", he also memorized all the "Five Animal Plays" and "Yang Qi Lu" in it, and then destroyed the "Qing Nang Sutra" to prevent it from falling into the hands of criminals and becoming a murder weapon.
Lighting the lighter, he placed "Shennong Baicao" on the flame.
The book quickly burned. Looking at the flames, Zhou Hao thought that from now on "Shen Nong Baicao" would only exist in his mind.
However, Zhou Hao suddenly discovered that a page in "Shen Nong Baicao" swelled to both sides when it was burned, just like pancakes in a frying pan. After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Hao immediately put out the fire, because that page
It is obviously made of two pieces of paper stuck together, so that it will expand on both sides during the heating process.
In other words, there is something hidden in the middle of this page!
