Chapter 363 Preparations
After it was decided to promote the event, Zheng Sisi asked if we should cut the ribbon. But no one knew what cutting the ribbon meant.
Zheng Sisi said: "Cutting the ribbon means setting off firecrackers at the opening ceremony, and then several shareholders cut a piece of red silk together, which means that money will come in abundance."
Several people shook their heads. Zheng Sisi said helplessly, "If we don't cut the ribbon, then we can just unveil the red silk!" Seeing that everyone looked at her in confusion, Zheng Sisi said, "It means covering the sign at the door with red silk, and then unveiling it when the firecrackers are set off at an auspicious time. This is a ceremony, and after the ceremony is over, we will officially open for business."
Sheng Zhen nodded: "This is fine, let's do it together with setting off firecrackers." Everyone agreed.
Zheng Sisi asked: "Is there anything else to do? I'm so nervous now that I can't remember anything."
"Hahaha!"
Zheng Sisi's words made everyone laugh.
Zheng Zhimin said: "I didn't expect my cousin would be nervous."
Zheng Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I am also a human being. How can I not be nervous when encountering such a big thing?"
Sheng Zhen touched her head and said, "It's okay. You have made all the arrangements. You can relax for the next two days. On the opening day, just sit back and count the money happily."
Zheng Sisi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the publicity. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, haha!"
Her words amused everyone again.
On May 28th, the sky was just getting light and the only people walking back and forth on the streets were people from various prefectures who were out doing shopping. However, there were already many people busy working on the street in front of the food court.
They were all the original residents of the food street and were also hired to work in the food street. Everyone was so excited that everyone arrived half an hour before work time. The sanitation of the food street had been done very thoroughly and it was clean everywhere. Seeing that the street in front of the door was very dirty, everyone spontaneously took tools and started cleaning.
This is the front of the food court, how could it be so dirty? Everyone was busy, and when they came back to their senses, most of the street had been swept clean by them.
Zheng Sisi also came early, because today's things had to start and there would definitely be a lot of preparation work, so she planned to start work early for the first five days of opening, and then set the working hours based on the situation once things were on track.
When she entered the street and saw how clean it was, she said to her three sisters, "I didn't expect the streets in the capital to be so clean. Someone cleans them before dawn."
The three of them had never been out so early and had no idea what was happening on the street, so they could only nod.
When Zheng Sisi saw her food court employees sweating profusely on the street, she realized that she had thought too much. This was all thanks to her employees, and the sanitation workers hadn't even started work yet.
With the arrival of Zheng Sisi and the cooks, everyone's work officially began. More than a dozen storefronts were opened, candles were lit, and the food court was brightly lit inside and out. The shoppers delivered the ingredients to the door, and the people from each store went to the car to get the ingredients they needed for their store and took them back for processing.
The employees of the food court, plus Zheng Sisi bringing most of the servants from the mansion to help, there are enough people today.
Washing, cutting, chopping, braising, stewing... Everyone was busy and happy. The food court did not sell the common breakfast buns, steamed buns, soup noodles, etc. on the street. She arranged a hot and sour noodle shop, but sweet potato noodles can only be made after the sweet potatoes are harvested, so she made noodles with soybean paste and rice noodles, which are not available on the street.
Because it was early, she asked the noodle shop to prepare breakfast for each employee first, including several shareholders, about 70 people. This operation left the plates of fried noodles with soybean paste empty, so they had to arrange more people to knead the noodles after breakfast.
A bowl of hearty noodles with soybean paste moved the original residents of the food street deeply. It also verified what Hu Zi said that the county lord was generous to her employees and the employees had good welfare, and it also strengthened their determination to work hard.
After breakfast, Zheng Sisi stood in the middle of the street and clapped her hands, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Today's preparations must be thorough. Our opening time is set at 9:00 p.m., so all shops must clean up their items."
Everyone was very excited and said in unison: "County Master, we got it."
Zheng Sisi and a few others checked every store, including food processing, storage, seasonings, and even the cash registers. They also checked the employees' appearance, attire, personal hygiene, and fingernails.
At the beginning, when Zheng Sisi said that employees should wear uniform clothes, everyone didn’t understand. Now, seeing all employees wearing uniform, hats and masks, they look very refreshing and energetic.
