Chapter 18: Grand Opening & On Track
After a short light sleep, it was dawn, and the new day was infinitely busy.

After several days of hard work, the small shop has taken on a new look, with clean floors, new tables and chairs, all the new wood selected by Xia Lan, painted with varnish, retaining the ground color and natural texture of the wood, full of freshness Clean, people will feel that this restaurant is clean and trustworthy at a glance.

Hanging directly above the door are the words "Xiajia Xiaodian" inscribed by a talented local scholar Xia Lan.

At that time, the scholar was very unwilling, and kept saying that doing business was something for low-level talents. He didn't bother to get involved with these things, and it just stained his innocence. He also said that Xia Lan was a girl who didn't stay in the boudoir and went out to show her face. , not in harmony with etiquette, Xia Lan raised the price a lot before he dawdled and was willing to write, and he still looked like a good girl who was being molested.

Xia Lan not only sneered at this, but also felt very helpless. For a person whose life is extremely difficult, talk about integrity, which is purely false and not suitable for food, not to mention that quality is internal.

But this scholar is indeed talented, and his handwriting is very clear, no wonder he is proud of his talent.

As a female man, she must go to the living room, go to the kitchen, raise a younger brother, manage the shop, greet politely, serve her family well, and develop her family business.

This is the first day of opening of the new store, Xia Lan got up on the fourth watch and started to make breakfast.What she sells are spicy soup and deep-fried dough sticks that are very popular in modern times.

Flammulina velutipes, gluten, fungus, beef offal, stewed pork ribs soup, blending a small amount of flour, many ingredients together, the longer the cooking, the more fragrant, put a bowl of hot tenten, put a small spoonful of sesame oil, sprinkle A small handful of chopped green onions, served in a bowl with a white porcelain blue rim, and served with golden fried dough sticks, charred on the outside and soft on the inside, whets the appetite.

The firecrackers were set off, and a large group of people gathered outside the store. Xia Lan tore off the red cloth from the signboard.

"Dear folks and elders, today my small shop in Xia's is happy to open. It mainly deals in special breakfast and lunch. You are welcome to taste it. Order today is half price for all consumption, and there is no tea fee. Don't miss it when you pass by, affordable price It tastes good, if you are satisfied after tasting it, please help me, a little girl, to make a publicity, if you are not satisfied, feel free to give me any comments."

Not long after, there were already a group of customers in the store, and Niu Niu helped serve the meals. After the two of them were busy, the guests all commented that the food was delicious, which was a reward for the two of them.

In the evening, Xia Lan counted the total of [-] cash earned today. The most important thing is that most of her raw materials are directly taken from the mountains, and the cost is extremely low.

On the second day, the number of customers doubled again, and the business of Xia Lan's small shop was booming.

Xia Lan's shop's discounted prices three days before its opening attracted many customers. She was clever and sweet, and the food was really delicious and affordable, so more and more people came to eat slowly.

The reputation of Xia's small shop has been established. Of course, there are inconvenient troubles. Xia Lan spent a lot of brain cells to deal with them.

Small troubles are easy to deal with, but big restaurants like Yipinju are not.Xia Lan didn't expect that a big restaurant like Yipinju would be jealous of her small business.

That day, a customer left after eating and did not come back within a quarter of an hour. He insisted that Xia Lan's store was not clean. Xia Lan thought that as usual, those small restaurants bribed people to slander her, so she sent them to the town. Li Zheng asked him to investigate, but he didn't want Li Zheng to ask casually and let him go, and he didn't give Xia Lan a clean answer.

At first, Xia Lan didn't pay much attention to it. Later, she noticed that there were fewer and fewer customers in the store, and she couldn't find the reason. After careful screening, she found this omission.

However, such things have happened many times before, and the reaction was not as big as this time. Xia Lan felt a little strange.

It took a lot of effort to find out that Yipinju was responsible.But she didn't pose much threat to Yipinju, she was a little puzzled.

Later, she visited and found out that recently several big families in the town like to buy breakfast in their own store. Among them, Guo Yuanwai recently held a wedding at home. He not only invited a cook from Yipinju, but also asked her to go too. Xia Lan didn't know about this at all.

The shopkeeper of Yipinju used to have a close relationship with the people in Tongshantang.I heard that Tongshantang lost its business with Renhetang in the state capital because of a ginseng, and Ji'antang robbed the business. Unfortunately, this ginseng was sold to Ji'antang by Xia Lan, so it was sold by Tongshan Church to hate on.

Originally, her small shop was at most a blockade for Yipinju, and Tongshantang increased the hatred value. Together, the two families found a rascal from another town and gave him a few taels of silver to let him I went to eat at Xia Lan's shop, and fed him laxatives after the meal, the man was willing to do it for the money, and when he was done, he took the money and left.

Xia Lan couldn't help but draw a circle around that person and cursed at the side.Li Zheng received money in advance and refused to do practical things.This time Xia Lan could only explain and apologize to the customer, but she couldn't move Yipinju.

Slowly the business came back, but Yipinju monopolized Guo Yuanwai's business, but something happened because of the chef's feud with Guo Yuanwai, and his reputation was ruined.

After half a year, Yipinju couldn't survive, and Xia Lan took over at a low price as the business became better and better.

With Qinghe Town as the center, Xia Lan's business keeps expanding.
