Chapter 1978

That afternoon, after watching a domestic movie in the mall cinema, I went to the Chuanyan Restaurant on the same floor of the mall for dinner. I also had dinner at the Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles restaurant that I had eaten at many times.

If you dine at a rice noodle restaurant, ordering a regular meal for two people will cost you the same as a mid-range dish in other restaurants. It's very affordable and great value. There's a circle of ingredients that can be put into the rice noodles in the hot soup and can be used after it's cooked. The store is quite clean and tidy, but I wanted to eat better food this time.

I saw the Chuanyan restaurant, and there were not many customers inside. It was afternoon, not meal time, so there were many empty seats in the restaurant. My family said that we could use the app to order the discounted set meal that we had eaten before, and thought the quality was OK. I said it was OK, just change some dishes, don't order the same as before, and see how other dishes in that restaurant are. I looked in the app and saw that there were discounted sets of mao xu wang, sweet and sour spare ribs, and spicy pepper twice-cooked pork, priced at more than 140 yuan, which looked good and moderately priced. I ordered it with two bowls of rice.

With the help of the male waiter outside the restaurant, you can take a number and queue up to use the dining boat. Because it is not a holiday, there are not so many customers. Even if there are only two people dining, you can use the dining boat in the store. There are only three small boat-style dining boats in that store, but you can use them by queuing up. There is no limit on consumption and number of people. As long as the customer consumes, it can be used. This is good and fair. This service is good, unlike some restaurants that refuse to use private rooms if there are not many customers, and think that the number of people must meet the standard. Of course, if the customer is willing to spend more money and consume more, it is also possible.

Because I had already used the dining boat on the right side of the restaurant, I wanted to use the one in the middle this time, so I had to wait. I sat on a bench outside the restaurant for a while, and the dining boat was cleared out. Since it was not a holiday and it was not a peak dining time, I didn't have to wait too long.

After we were seated, a waitress in a peach-pink skirt brought us a pot of barley tea and placed an alarm clock on the table. If the time shown on the electronic watch had ended but the full meal had not been served, we would be given a discount as compensation.

There used to be a roast duck restaurant on a street in the suburbs. It promised to serve the food as soon as possible, and if it failed to do so, it would give a discount. Unfortunately, it no longer has such a configuration, but the serving speed is still OK most of the time. Later, the restaurant closed down because of the continuous price increase of dishes, which caused dissatisfaction among many consumers, and opened a new store in another place. I don’t know if the previous membership recharge can be refunded or used in other chain stores. Some large recharges should be vigilant. The amount that has been recharged should be used as it should be. Don’t delay too long and make reasonable arrangements.

After the food was served, we took photos and started eating. The Maoxuewang in that restaurant was quite spicy. Although the basin was not small, the basin was shallow. It only looked like the portion was good, but the actual amount was not much. The taste of the food was okay, but the amount of meat was not much, which seemed a little flawed. It was different from the big plate dishes and big pot dishes in the north, but there were a lot of peppers and oil soup in the dishes to ensure that the taste of the dishes met the expected standards. The taste of the sweet and sour spare ribs was quite satisfactory. They were all the size of dry-fried small ribs. Unlike the homemade ones, they could use ribs with more meat and thicker meat, which would be more flavorful. The raw materials were of better quality than the chopped small ribs used in the restaurant. The sliced ​​chili peppers in the twice-cooked pork were quite spicy. In the meat slices, there were thin slices of mushrooms mixed in, which was different from the traditional method. The restaurant has the style of Jiangnan cuisine. The dining environment is also decorated with small boats docked, pavilions and rockery, and a little pond and tributaries as the decoration of the scenery. There are also some wooden ladders and stone steps in the restaurant as the basis for matching the real scene. That restaurant is one of the largest restaurants on the floor. The prices of the dishes are relatively high, but the prices of some dishes are still lower than those of the roast duck restaurant on the same street. There were two spicy dishes that I ordered that had a stronger taste. I used up the rice in the set meal and ordered more rice. I also drank some tea. There were some spare ribs and twice-cooked pork left. I asked for a takeaway box, packed it up and put it in the refrigerator, and heated it up the next day.

After leaving the boat banquet restaurant, I went to the first floor of the mall. It was past three in the afternoon, and the sky outside was still bright and the sun was still hot. I didn't go home directly, but went to the fast food restaurant to order ice cream. I often go there. Although there are still many ice cream bars in the refrigerator at home, I still eat ice cream outdoors from time to time.

The air conditioning in the fast food restaurant was working fine. While waiting, I saw a female clerk wearing a hat and employee uniform. She got an ice cream cone, went to the employee lounge, ate an ice cream, and then came out to work. It was not the peak dining time, and the store was only half full, so it was not that busy. I saw a middle-aged woman wearing glasses walking by. She looked a bit wealthy, wearing a cartoon headdress, a skirt like a Western maid in movies and TV, and holding a plastic toy hammer. She might be a cast member on some floors of the mall. Many young people came into the store one after another. Many people bought ice cream and cold drinks, some ordered food, and some entered the mall through the door of the fast food restaurant. That fast food restaurant is still the store with the highest profit in the mall. It is on the first floor of the mall. The fast food restaurant has a door. You can enter the mall through the small door of the fast food restaurant without going through the main door of the mall. Some people eat or buy ice cream and cold drinks on the way. I have eaten and eaten ice cream in that fast food restaurant many times. Most of the time, I see that the business of that store is good. Although the overall consumption is much lower than that of some mid- to high-end restaurants, if you buy multiple hamburgers and some fried foods, the total cost is about 100 yuan. If you don't catch the discount, the price of some dishes is also relatively high. I have seen that fast food restaurant many times. During the peak ordering period, people will line up to pick up their meals. Regardless of holidays, there are often many consumers going to eat there. Because there are bus stops and subway stations nearby, there is a lot of passenger flow and the geographical location is superior. The total revenue of that fast food restaurant in a year is quite considerable. It is estimated that the business area of ​​that fast food restaurant is 100 to 200 square meters, which is several times less than the business area of ​​several-story mid- to high-end restaurants. However, if the annual revenue is compared, it may not be inferior to those of mid- to high-end restaurants, and the net profit may be even higher. At mealtime, there may be a queue for food at that fast food restaurant, and the delivery staff are also busy picking up and delivering food. Such business has far exceeded that of dozens of restaurants in the same shopping mall. It can be said that it is one of the most prosperous fast food restaurants in the entire suburbs. The business of the beverage store next to the fast food restaurant is also good. There are often some customers, but the number of customers is far less. The main drinks in that beverage shop cost less than 20 yuan per cup, some cake rolls and similar pastries cost more than 10 yuan per box, and there are many kinds of bread to choose from. You can buy drinks and snacks and eat at the seats in the store, but the available area in the store is only 30 to 40 square meters. The store is relatively small and narrow. The store was designed with no partitions or gates from the first floor of the mall, but an open style. Some people would buy some drinks and pastries when entering and leaving the mall.

A few days ago, the author watched an introduction video on the Internet, saying that the chain of fast food restaurants had increased the prices of some products. For loyal consumers in first-tier cities, they can accept price changes, as long as the increase is not too large, it is not a big deal, and the merchants will also launch preferential activities, so the number of patronage will be quite high. In big cities, people have high incomes and high consumption. Not to mention the basic consumption of dozens of yuan, even spending hundreds of yuan is also a common thing. Just like the roast duck restaurant that the author often went to in August this year, in the lobby on the first floor, there were several elderly people gathering on the left. They ordered the signature roast duck and steamed sea bass, and dumplings at 18 yuan per tael. They directly ordered a catty, not caring about the price. The restaurant's one catty of dumplings is less than 200 yuan, and only three dishes are already 500 yuan, and you have to add a few more dishes to make it okay. The male waiter kindly advised that he suggested trying three or two dumplings first. There were about ten. If you think it's good, you can order more. You have already ordered multiple dishes and may not be able to use up all the dumplings. But an old lady said that they were dining together, and ordering a pound of dumplings was not enough. If they liked it, they would order more. A pound of fresh sea bass in a big supermarket costs about 30 yuan, and it is cheaper during the evening promotion, but the price of steamed sea bass in that restaurant is directly increased by 100 yuan, and it is also calculated by pound, but it only costs 80 or 90 yuan per pound. There are two young men at the table on the right. I can't understand what they are saying. They seem to be complaining about the low monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan. They think it is a waste of talent. They are both ambitious. At such a young age, they want to rise to the top. Not long after graduation, they want to step directly into the peak of life and take fewer detours. They feel that they are not valued. It is really a waste of talent. They are talking about some business things. I don't understand some of the terms, but I can understand that they hate some people and some industry rules. I glanced at the dishes ordered by the table. A plate of shrimp is almost 100 yuan, and there are several dishes. 300 yuan is not enough. Sitting between the two seats, I could only order one dish because of my limited budget, which was the duck rack with salt and pepper and the cold dessert of mango sago. To keep my spending down, I had to buy the duck rack, so I ordered a simpler dish. I also wanted to order more expensive dishes, but it was just a thought. Obviously, this is a way to order food without spending a lot of money, but I'm used to it if I go there often. I always order food this way and keep my consumption budget under a hundred yuan or less.

  Under limited conditions, reasonable arrangements should be made, which may make some things safe and well completed.
