The Mid-Autumn Festival came to an end soon. On the 16th, Yan Xiao got up early, freshened up briefly and went out.
After arriving at the store, all the waiters had arrived. Yan Xiao gathered everyone in the lobby and told them about today's affairs again.
"Today is our first day of opening. There are many things to do, heavy tasks, and many people. Please be careful. Especially since we are selling new dishes, if guests have any questions, we must patiently explain them to them. If there is any problem,
, you have to tell me and the shopkeeper. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone replied in unison. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Okay, everyone returns to their seats and is ready to open." Yan Xiao clapped his hands.
Everyone then dispersed and went about their own business. Yan Xiao walked around to make sure everything was well prepared for today.
It's time to open the shop and welcome guests.
The guys took out bamboo poles and hung the firecrackers high, beating gongs and shouting.
Yan Xiao lit the firecrackers and uncovered the red silk cloth on the signboard, revealing the five gilded characters "Fire Qilin Hotpot".
As soon as the firecrackers went off, they attracted the attention of people on the street. The waiter took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Let's go and take a look. Huo Qilin Hotpot is open. It's a big treat today. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, come in and take a look. It's hot today."
Kirin Hotpot is open, offering a big discount to guests. Anyone who spends over 500 Wen in the store can get a 100 Wen discount, limited to the first fifty people."
People on the street were very curious when they heard the waiter shouting "hot pot", and they all came over and asked:
"Xiaoer, what is hot pot?"
The waiter glanced at Yan Xiao, who nodded and explained with a smile: "The so-called hot pot means putting raw food into a special soup pot, and then taking it out to eat after the food is cooked."
As Yan Xiao spoke, he demonstrated how to eat hot pot on the table at the door. The spicy and tangy smell of hot pot filled the air. Everyone saw the mutton that Yan Xiao picked up from the pot. The surface was bright with the red oil in the pot.
Yummy, it looks very delicious.
When everyone saw the hot pot in Yan Xiao's hand, they all wanted to try it, but they thought that this fresh way of eating might be too expensive.
"Your hot pot looks so delicious, so it must be very expensive!" asked a round-faced man in blue clothes.
Yan Xiao looked at him and said: "This customer, the clerk in my store just said that when it opens today, all the first fifty people who come into the store and spend more than 500 yuan can get a discount of 100 yuan. I will tell you here.
The good news is that all dishes today are priced at 90% of the price."
After Yan Xiao finished speaking, he asked the waiter in the store to take out a stack of menus and send them to the people watching in front of the store. Everyone took the menus and looked at them. They thought it was very interesting. Not only were there pictures of hot pot on it, but there were also categories of meat and vegetable dishes.
, as well as various snacks.
At this time, two lions jumped into the crowd. When Yan Xiao saw this, he was a little confused. He did not invite a lion dance. Then he thought that he told his two sisters last night that he would be opening today. These two
The lion should be...
While Yan Xiao was thinking about it, Qiao Yun and Su Niang walked over from the crowd. Those with sharp eyes could recognize the identity of the two people at a glance.
"Isn't that the icing on the cake, a clever lady?"
"Yes, isn't the girl next to you wearing a sky-blue dress from the rain a day from the Yue family?"
The two of them walked up to Yan Xiao and said hello.
"How's it going? Are my two lions okay?" Su Niang said, holding Yan Xiao's hand.
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "I thought you were busy today and couldn't come over."
"How is that possible? Today is your grand opening day. No matter how busy we are, we will come over." Qiao Yun also said.
"That's right, it's a coincidence that it happened just in time." Su Niang said with a smile.
Su Niang stood watching from a distance for a while, and saw that these people wanted to go in and take a look but were hesitant. She turned around and faced everyone and said: "Everyone, have you been attracted by this fragrance?
I was also attracted by the smell. This hot pot is so beautiful, you must try it."
"Since Madam-in-law said so, it must be really delicious, and I want to go in and have a taste." The man in blue clothes said.
"I want to have a taste too."
The first person to eat crabs will be followed by many others.
"Everyone please come to the store." Yan Xiao hurriedly invited these people into the store and invited the waiters to greet each customer.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people going to your store today!"
"Yes, the meal will be served in a while!"
"Sisters, let's go in and sit down too!" Yan said with a smile.
Qiaoyun Su Niang nodded, Su Niang took a menu and looked at it, exclaiming: "Xiao Xiao, the things on your menu are so interesting. I haven't eaten this crispy pork and brown sugar glutinous rice cake before!
"
"I have reserved a private room for you. You can walk on the second floor while you two sisters see what you want to eat. Today, my little sister is treating you."
Qiaoyun also looked at the menu in Su Niang's hand and found it really novel, and said: "Then we should be respectful and obey orders."
Yan Xiao sent Qiao Yun and Su Niang upstairs and into the private room of "Jing". He gave the menu to the two sisters, then took out a charcoal pen from his pocket and gave it to Qiao Yun, saying: "Here, you guys
If you want to eat, just circle it above. You can also choose this flavor. You see, the one with red soup is what I ate at my house that day. The clear soup is mushroom soup, which is made with pork bones and mushrooms. The taste is
Delicious.”
Qiaoyun looked at the pen in his hand and asked, "This pen of yours is very interesting. It looks a bit like the pen used for thrush but not quite like it."
Yan Xiao smiled and explained: "This pen is basically the same as the thrush pen, except that mine is made of flint and plant ash in the pot. It's mainly for convenience."
Qiao Yun and Su Niang finally ordered a small pot, half a catty of mutton, one fish ball, one beautiful tenderloin, one small crispy pork, and one assorted fresh vegetables.
Yan Xiao came out of the private room, stood upstairs and looked downstairs. The people downstairs were almost full. Many people ordered soy milk, and many people's faces turned red after eating it. It seemed that this was the first day of opening.
There were indeed a lot of people coming.
Yan Xiao took the menu in his hand to the kitchen and put it in the order of ordering. He was very satisfied when he saw the chef and the vegetable cutters carrying out the cooking process in an orderly manner.
When he came to the hall, Yan Xiao first walked around and asked all the guests to eat well. Then he went to the shopkeeper and asked how many people were there.
The shopkeeper said: "No one has come to pay the bill yet, but the downstairs is already full at the moment, and everyone has generally ordered five dishes. Today's dish should be good."
Yanxiao nodded.
The lively atmosphere lasted until midnight in the afternoon and finally subsided. At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the dishes in the store were sold out, and a sign saying it was closed was hung up.
Yan Xiao checked the accounts with the shopkeeper, while the other clerks in the store cleaned up the store.
After a while, the two of them settled the accounts. The shopkeeper said, "Boss, we made a net profit of three hundred taels after going out today." As the shopkeeper said this, he handed the account book to Yan Xiao to look at.
Yan Xiao took the account book and looked at it and said, "Today's profit is not bad. For the first three days, we will sell vegetables at today's price." This chapter has been completed!
