HCB Chapter 151 The restaurant opens!
Chapter 151 The restaurant opens!
After an afternoon of conversation and planning for the restaurant's future, Fang Yuanqi was extremely satisfied with Cheng Yingying, a typical restaurant management talent.
It is not difficult to imagine that with Cheng Yingying's help, they will definitely have an easier time in the future.
Then during dinner, Fang Yuanqi introduced Cheng Yingying to Su Fuying and Mu Lingyan.
Upon learning that the person opposite her was the prince's consort and the other was Her Royal Highness the Princess, Cheng Yingying instinctively wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by the two.
Cheng Yingying didn't expect that these royal family members were so easy to get along with, and she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings for a moment.
A bully from a small place always acts like the boss, second only to the boss.
But these true descendants of the phoenix and the dragon, they are so approachable, it is really sad...
After learning about Cheng Yingying's restaurant management skills, Su Fuying and Mu Lingyan were extremely welcoming to this new member.
The running around these two days have exhausted the pampered Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Now that they have new helpers, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yingying's abilities also amazed everyone. Not only was she able to quickly solve various problems, she also put forward many practical suggestions and ideas.
Her appearance was like adding wings to a tiger for several people...
For a time, both the renovation and decoration of the restaurant and the recruitment and training of waiters were progressing very smoothly.
And under her suggestion, the restaurant's decoration style has also been completely renewed...
A few days passed in a flash, and with everyone's joint efforts, the new restaurant was finally open!
Of course, they also did sufficient publicity before the restaurant opened.
The day before the opening, the streets were already full of discussions about Hongyunlou.
"Hey, have you heard? There's a Hongyunlou restaurant opening on South Street tomorrow. It's said to be a branch of the Hongyunlou restaurant in Beijing."
"Of course I've heard of it. Now everyone knows that there's a Hongyun Building in our town too. Let me tell you! There's one not only on South Street, but also on North Street."
"I heard that two Hongyunlou restaurants are opening at the same time. Is that true?"
"Really? I'm from North Street. The sign is already up, and they said they'll open tomorrow."
"I heard they say the ice in Hongyunlou in the capital is more plentiful than in the homes of officials?"
"Won't you know when you go and see it?"
"But how can we ordinary people afford to go there?"
"I heard the first 100 customers can enjoy half-price discounts when the restaurant opens."
"Then I have to line up early tomorrow."
"I'm going too! I'm going too!"
……
Then early the next morning, long queues formed in front of Hongyun Tower in the south and north of the city, and even some maids and servants were holding seats for their masters.
As soon as the door opened, the people who had been waiting for a long time rushed in.
Mu Lingshuang and Fang Yuanqi stood on the second floor, looking at the lively scene downstairs, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
This amount of traffic was beyond their expectations. But when running a restaurant, the more people come, the better!
"Sister, it seems that our promotion some time ago was very successful!" Fang Yuanqi said in a good mood.
Mu Lingshuang glanced at the crowded crowd downstairs and said with a smile:
"But everyone will be busy later!"
"Yeah, with so many people here, it's definitely going to be very busy today." Fang Yuanqi nodded and continued, "But luckily we're well prepared and have already trained a group of guys in the past few days."
Mu Lingshuang heard her say this, smiled and hugged her in his arms, whispering:
"Of course, my sister's sweet baby is the best!"
The moment before Mu Lingshuang bent down to kiss him, Fang Yuanqi turned away.
"Sister, this is still outside."
Looking at his wife's shy and timid look, Mu Lingshuang's throat moved slightly, "Then shall we go inside?"
The "inside" that Mu Lingshuang was talking about was a small courtyard below the restaurant.
The small courtyard was cleverly designed. It was not accessible from the first floor. One had to go up to the second floor, go down the stairs, and then enter the small courtyard.
Moreover, as long as the door is locked from the inside, people upstairs cannot enter the yard at all. It can be said to be a wonderful private space.
It must be said that the design of this small courtyard really won Mu Lingshuang's heart, especially since the two of them hadn't had a good exchange of feelings for many days due to the busy opening of the restaurant, hehe...
After spending so much time with Mu Lingshuang, Fang Yuanqi could almost see through her thoughts with just one look.
Just as I was about to push the person away, a waiter suddenly ran up from downstairs and said that the first floor was full of guests.
"Then let someone come up!" Mu Lingshuang said and really took his wife to the resting place in the small courtyard inside.
Don't get me wrong, Mu Lingshuang, the wife-protecting maniac, is just afraid that his wife will be touched by others, and he doesn't want to do anything shameful.
But I don't know why Mu Lingshuang brought in Fang Yuanqi's lunch, ha ha ha...
The Hongyunlou on South Street is the original Fumanlou. Because there are more people on South Street, it has more customers than the Hongyunlou on North Street.
However, many of the people who came to Hongyunlou on South Street today were old customers of Fumanlou. When they saw that the restaurant had changed its name, but the young lady of the Cheng family was still the head of the business, they immediately understood that this meant they had found a backer, and from then on they dared not underestimate her.
Su Fuying, Mu Lingyan and Cheng Yingying were also very satisfied when they saw the upstairs and downstairs crowded with guests.
"Dear fellow villagers, today is the grand opening day of Hongyunlou. To thank you all for your support, all dishes are half price today. Please enjoy!"
As Cheng Yingying finished speaking, the guests who had already taken their seats cheered and the sounds of ordering dishes rose one after another.
The chefs in the kitchen are busy preparing various delicious dishes, while the waiters are moving back and forth in the lobby, providing attentive service to the guests.
Because the dishes at Hongyunlou are exquisite and delicious, and there are some novel ways of eating that no one has ever heard of, everyone who comes here feels that the food is worth the money. For a time, the entire Hongyunlou was filled with laughter and the business was extremely hot.
Mu Lingyan, who couldn't sit still, pushed the waiter at the counter aside and sat behind the counter, counting the bills until her hands cramped. She was still there with a silly grin on her face until closing time at night.
Su Fuying, who was standing by, twitched her lips slightly. The Sixth Princess was a princess after all, so why did she look so ignorant?
