Chapter 411 Business is booming
The King of Yue entertained wedding guests in his restaurant, and all kinds of news about Huixian Tower spread.

Whether it is the dozens or hundreds of delicacies that have never been eaten before in the restaurant, the delicious drinks, the luxurious decoration of the restaurant, the rotating tables, the various wonderful performances on the stage, or the gifts given to the guests. Souvenir……

All attracted the people of the capital to talk about it.

Customers who couldn't resist trying something new were already surrounded by people before Huixianlou opened its doors early in the morning.

The people sent by the King of Chu crowded in the crowd.

Seeing that many wealthy families had sent their servants to line up early, I felt dissatisfied because I had been standing there for a long time, so I immediately walked over and said some crooked words, which immediately made the group of servants start to boo.

"What does it matter if we work harder? Fortunately, we are here. If our master came, we would have to crowd at the door with so many servants."

"Your master is an official, while our master is just a businessman with a small fortune. The restaurant opened by the King of Yue is not something that a person of our master's caliber can be picky about. It's too late to fawn over."

Several servants who were sent to queue up were told by their master to get seats at the round table on the first floor, so they came to queue early. Just as they were getting impatient, the King of Chu's men stuffed them with money, which made them vent their dissatisfaction.

Several servants complained dissatisfiedly, which also made the customers who came to queue up dissatisfied. Huixianlou made them crowded together with a bunch of servants, which was simply degrading, and they felt that Huixianlou was bullying customers.

There was a conflict right in front of me.

These strange words and the situation outside the building had already been reported to the big shopkeeper Jiang Li by the man who was watching outside.

"We have all agreed to the outside world that we will not open the door until we are at the right time. Who asked them to come so early." This is Chenzheng, and the door will not open until an hour later. Why blame them for coming so early? They have to raise a bed and send a servant to take care of them so that they can sleep well?
The clerks became angry when they saw them complaining about their own prince in an irritated manner, saying that the prince was of high status and looking down on others, and that their shop was bullying customers.

I wish I could go up and give them a slap.

Jiang Li glared at them, "Your Majesty said that harmony brings wealth, have you forgotten? All the guests who come to our door are our distinguished guests and should be treated equally. If the guests complain and are dissatisfied, if they make reasonable demands, we should improve and encourage them. Are you as careless as those who are ignorant?"

The man who was sent outside to maintain order shut up.

The second shopkeeper, Shancai, was also dissatisfied when he heard someone slandering his restaurant before it even opened, "Shopkeeper, I guess there are people out there who want to cause trouble. We must be careful."

Jiang Li naturally also noticed that there were people stirring up trouble outside. It was the first day of opening today, so they couldn't let some people with ulterior motives ruin the reputation of their restaurant.

The daily opening hours of my restaurant are posted outside. I didn't expect that the customers would come so early on the first day of opening.

After giving some instructions to the guys, he sent someone to call in advance all the guys who had not yet come to work on errands. After giving the instructions, he followed him out of the restaurant.

Soon, the guests who were waiting outside Huixian Building saw a door open from the inside of the restaurant, and several waiters brought in a dozen long benches and placed them on both sides.

Just when I was wondering what Huixianlou was doing, I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper standing on the steps of the restaurant, clasping his fists at everyone: "I, Jiang Li, am the big shopkeeper of Huixianlou. Today, Huixianlou officially It’s business. Thank you all for coming to support me. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my master. Due to poor preparation, everyone has suffered.”

Seeing that the head shopkeeper of Huixianlou came forward in person, the person who complained just now became less angry.

Jiang Li first asked them to sit on the stools on both sides and wait, and then asked the waiter to bring out some tea. "It's cold in the early autumn. Everyone, please drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body."

Listening to the warm voice of the big shopkeeper, he entertained every guest who came to line up, regardless of high or low, and treated the servants sent by each family to line up as distinguished guests. His humble and courteous appearance immediately won the favor of all the guests.

"You're welcome, Mr. Boss. I was waiting early."

When the people sent by the King of Chu saw Jiang Li's arrival, they suppressed everyone's emotions. The guests who had been tempted by them to leave all stayed behind, feeling secretly resentful. They had no choice but to wait for another opportunity.

After the guests were calmed down, Jiang Li ordered people to register again and gave them their number plates. Some wanted to sit at a round table, some wanted to book a private room, and some wanted to book a booth on the first floor. They registered one by one.

"You can just go in with your number plate when the door opens. There's no need to wait here now."

Some people were persuaded to leave, holding their number plates and preparing to come back when the door opened later. However, the servants who came to queue did not dare to leave and were still sitting on the benches.

Jiang Li saw that more than half of the people were waiting for the door, and after discussing with Shan Cai, he asked someone to open the door in advance.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic today, so I opened the door first and asked everyone to go in and sit and wait. However, the kitchen is still preparing, so it is still open."

After saying this, the guests thanked him one after another and entered the building. Although it is only early autumn, there is still a bit of coolness in the morning. Sitting inside the building and waiting is naturally better than sitting and standing outside with the wind blowing.

Moreover, most of the people who came to line up were servants from various families. They usually wouldn't have the opportunity to enter such a luxurious restaurant to eat. Now that I was invited in, even though I was just sitting and waiting for a table, I felt extremely grateful.

At this moment, I remembered the goodness of Huixian Tower again, and wanted to find an opportunity to say more good things about it in front of the master.

After Lin Zhaoxia had taken care of the internal affairs in the house and sent away the mother-in-law and steward who came to report the affairs, the Huixian Tower was already open for business. When she heard that the Huixian Tower was full of people when the time came, and even the private rooms upstairs were reserved, she knew that the day was safe.

It is a good sign to have such customer flow on the first day of opening.

When I heard that Jiang Li sent someone to tell me what happened in front of the restaurant before opening today, I thought about it and had an idea in my mind.

Taking Jinxiu Yingyue and the two guards arranged by Zhao Guangyuan, they went to Huixian Tower.

Entered the building through the back door, went straight to the fifth floor, went to the largest private room reserved for the master's family, and asked someone to call Jiang Li.

While waiting for Jiang Li, Lin Zhaoxia stood at the railing on the fifth floor and looked down. In the lobby on the first floor, there was music and dancing on the stage. The round table was full of people, and every guest was stacked on both sides. The dishes and wine glasses were full, and the booths on the first floor were also full of people.

Looking at each floor, there were occasional customers passing through, and waiters running around delivering food. The small tables in the corridors on each floor were also full of people. Lin Zhaoxia looked very satisfied.

At the main entrance of the building, people were coming and going on the stairs leading to the upper floors on the left and right. Looking at the stairs leading to the kitchen in the middle of each floor, the waiters were walking in a hurry and in an orderly manner. He nodded and walked to the tea room next to the stairs.

Jiang Li came up and stood behind her, "Princess." He also followed her gaze and looked downstairs.

There are three stairs leading to the upper floor in the building. The left and right sides of the door are for guests, and the middle one leads to the back kitchen, which is reserved for some special guests and the staff in the building. Originally, the back kitchen was also planned to serve dishes. Go through this staircase. But then Lin Zhaoxia had other ideas.

The kitchen downstairs is busy. There are several ropes tied under the tea room, which are constantly shaking. The waiter in the kitchen puts the prepared dishes into the vegetable frame, hooks them to the iron hook, and shakes the ropes. Then I saw a waiter in the tea room on the third floor sticking his head out to take a look. Then the rope moved and the vegetable frame was pulled up.

While Lin Zhaoxia was watching, a waiter hurried into the tea room. When he saw the person, he stopped and said, "I've met the princess, the boss."

Just after he finished the ceremony, he saw the rope in the tea room shaking from the corner of his eye. He apologized, untied the rope from the wall, and pulled hard, and the dishes sent from the kitchen to the fifth floor were pulled away by him. Come up.

The waiter quickly took out two dishes from the vegetable rack, placed them one by one on the table in the tea room, handed the vegetable basket out the window, pulled the rope, and sent the vegetable basket to the kitchen on the first floor. The waiter tied the drawstring, picked up the dishes from the table, and held them in his hands, "Princess, the big shopkeeper, the little one is delivering the dishes."

"Go."

As soon as the waiter heard this, he took the plate and went out to deliver the food.

The princess watched the whole process with a smile, looking at his skillful operation with a look of approval.

Jiang Li watched the waiter who was delivering the food leave with a smile on his face, "Thankfully, the prince and princess came up with the idea of ​​using such a bearing to pass the food, which saved the waiter's time from delivering the food from the first floor to the upstairs, and also saved the guests waiting. "

Jiang Li had been the shopkeeper for more than ten years and never thought that he would see such a wonder one day.

The building uses a device that can move up and down to solve the problem of slow food serving in various restaurants. If it hadn't been welded shut, it would have been stolen by countless people. Just like the menu in the building.

Lin Zhaoxia smiled. This sliding bearing device was simpler to make than the rotary turntable on the first floor.

She was also thinking that Huixianlou would open in autumn, and it would have five floors. The waiter who delivers the food would have to take the food upstairs from the back kitchen, no matter how fast he walked, even if there was a lid on the dish, he would have to deliver it to the private room. Dishes will also lose their heat. Once some dishes lose their heat, their flavor will be reduced.

I thought of using this kind of sliding bearing and installing one on each floor. Whether ordering or passing dishes, it can connect the front room and the kitchen more quickly. It is more efficient and can improve customer satisfaction.

"Aren't there two waiters serving food in the tea room on each floor?"

One waiter stood guard in the tea room, pulling up the dishes on this floor and placing them in the tea room, while the other waiter brought the dishes to each private room.

"Yes, the two serving waiters are fixed, but there are too many guests here today, and it is not enough for one person to serve the dishes. The one in the tea room is probably also delivering the dishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, another waiter hurried over and asked about the situation. Sure enough, he was passing the food.

Lin Zhaoxia nodded and felt relieved when she saw that several floors were busy delivering food. She took Jiang Li to the private room of the master's house and asked about the situation this morning.

After listening to Jiang Li's words, Lin Zhaoxia said, "In that case, let's open a window on the first floor and be responsible for making reservations. If the tables are full the next day, or the private rooms are full, we will Hanging it out at the door will prevent people from queuing up early.”

People queuing up at the door should also do a good job of entertaining. In addition to providing free tea, it doesn't cost much to provide some free snacks. Improving customer satisfaction and attracting repeat customers is the best marketing.

Jiang Li listened and responded, and added: "I never thought that many customers would come to ask about the souvenirs I gave to my children yesterday. Not long after the store opened, many of them have already been given away."

Lin Zhaoxia also laughed. If this souvenir can make people think about it, it will be indispensable for repeat customers.

"The inventory must be checked immediately. If there is any shortage, it must be replenished in time. We must communicate well with the pottery shop and carpentry shop to avoid supply cuts and damage to the reputation of the restaurant."

"Princess, don't worry, in addition to the dedicated workshops, we also have many spare workshops on hand, and the deeds have been signed, so there will be no difference."

"That's good."

Today was the first day of business. Lin Zhaoxia was afraid that various unexpected situations would occur, so she stayed in the restaurant until the afternoon. It was not until Zhao Guangyuan came to pick her up from the office that the couple returned to their house.

In the evening, Jiang Li came to the restaurant in person to report today's business situation. He heard that there were 23,000 taels of silver in the turnover today, which made Zhao Guangyuan a little shocked.

The prices of the vegetables in their building are not high. Why is the turnover so high?
"Most people bought a variety of drinks to take back. A lot of wine, fruit wine, and liquor were sold. If it wasn't for a limited amount, I'm afraid there would be more than this. Some people also asked about what can add aroma and taste to the dishes. "Will the seasonings be sold? The younger one said no, and those people are interested in the sets of dishes and dinner plates in our building and want to know if they can buy them."

Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan looked at each other, this is great, not only selling vegetables, but also selling various peripherals.

If you open a shop outside, you will probably have a lot of sales.

"For guests with such special needs, please record it and only say that you will get back to everyone after a while."

"Yes, I also think that the seasonings cannot be sold, but if customers want to buy these dishes and plates, it can also increase our building's income."

"Well, the prince and I will consider it."

After several people talked some more, Jiang Li left.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at Zhao Guangyuan who was in a good mood and teased him, "Seeing that the restaurant will soon get its money back, the prince, who pawned half of the palace, will soon get it back. After the poor prince takes off his hat, , What is the prince planning to do?”

Zhao Guangyuan pinched her face gently and said, "Whatever the husband does, the husband will naturally listen to the wife. Whatever the wife says, the husband will do it."

"so good?"

"That can be even better." He took a step forward and lifted Lin Zhaoxia upright...

The Huixian Tower of the King of Yue was in full swing, with doors like a market and guests arriving like clouds, making everyone in the industry envious. The people sent by the King of Chu repeatedly sabotaged it, but they were all cracked down one by one. Watching Huixian Tower making money every day, the business of his own restaurant was bleak, and the evil fire in his heart kept rising.

Before he could do anything else, they were staring at the position of the magistrate of Lizhou, and before they could take action, they were snatched away.
