I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

The restaurant is officially back on track and business is getting better day by day.

There are many returning customers.

Some people around them also followed their example and opened small restaurants. Gradually, noodle shops, steamed bun shops, snack stands, small restaurants and other stores appeared on the streets.

But the most prosperous business is still Haokezhai, which has become the signature restaurant of Huiqing Street. For many outsiders, the first restaurant they want to eat at is Haokezhai.

This incident also attracted the attention of local newspapers, which sent reporters over.

That day Ji Xiaoxi and several people in the store wore their most beautiful clothes.

Reporter Li took a group photo for them and said with a smile, "Comrade Ji, you are one of the first people to open a restaurant in Huinan City, and it is also the first restaurant on Huiqing Street. You are so successful now. Do you have any secret?"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "The service tenet of our restaurant is to satisfy our customers. Our menu is not fixed. It will be updated every once in a while. We use the freshest vegetables of the season and the best cooking methods, so that everyone can always taste the most delicious food in our Haokezhai!"

Reporter Li was taking notes frantically. "I heard that the waiters in your store were sent by former competitors to cause trouble. So why did you keep them?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "I firmly believe that people are inherently good. They did do something wrong, but I can give them a chance and listen to their reasons. In the end, I learned that they came to the city to work because of financial difficulties, but they mistakenly believed what others said and did something wrong.

So, I am willing to give them a chance to mend their ways, and now it seems that what I did was indeed the right thing to do.”

Reporter Li: "Comrade Ji, you are indeed a man who can accomplish great things. You have a broad mind and courage. Society needs people like you."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Thank you, I didn't do anything big, I just helped arrange a job."

Reporter Li: "Although the matter is small, the fact that you changed the fate of others is huge, which is equivalent to saving two families."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I didn't think so much when I did it."

The two had a pleasant conversation. Reporter Li then interviewed other people in the restaurant and some of the diners.

Everyone's words were full of gratitude and praise for Ji Xiaoxi. Reporter Li took several pages of notes and went back with his bag, feeling satisfied.

A few days later, her store's name appeared in the local newspaper.

Reporter Li praised Haokezhai from every angle, praising Ji Xiaoxi so much that he didn't recognize himself.

Ling Zhu smiled brightly while holding the newspaper. "This is my first time on a newspaper. I must take this newspaper back as a family heirloom."

Song Hong smiled and said, "It's my first time too. I have to show it to my son when I get back so he can learn from his mother!"

Dahei and Xiaosi were almost crying, "Wow, wow, wow... Mom, I've made it. I was even on the newspaper. This is a great thing for our ancestors. We will have face when we return to the village."

The scene of two big men hugging each other and crying was really not a pretty sight, and Ji Xiaoxi and the others laughed out loud when they saw it.

Thanks to the newspaper publicity, Haokezhai's business is getting better and better. Now it is basically stable at 500-1000 yuan a day. With the increase in self-employed individuals, everyone has money in their hands and is willing to come out to consume.

Haokezhai also undertakes wedding banquets and large gatherings. Sometimes it makes one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon, and can earn more than 2000 yuan a day.

Seeing that the business in the store was getting better and better, Ji Xiaoxi was mentally preparing to open a new store.

She taught Ling Zhu and Song Hong some of her signature dishes.

It just so happened that Jiang Qin had recovered and was ready to go out to work, so Ji Xiaoxi asked her to train her together with Lin Xing's wife Su Minmin.

When we are ready to open a new store, let them manage it.

Dahei and Xiaosi went to the village to find a few honest and reliable people to work as waiters.

Soon, everyone's training was almost completed.

Ji Xiaoxi began to look for a suitable store.

This time, she didn't want to buy a store in the alley again. She had to find a store on the main street, a little further away from the original store.

Jiang Qin rode a bicycle and accompanied her to stroll through the streets and alleys every day, and finally found a suitable store.

This store is right next to the cinema. There are also video stores, an ice skating rink, and a newly opened disco nearby. It is a street for entertainment and is perfect for the spicy hot pot restaurant she is planning to open.

That’s right, this time she plans to open a spicy hot pot restaurant.

After playing on this kind of fun street, you will definitely be hungry, and eating food that is quickly cooked, such as spicy hot pot, will definitely be very popular.

There are many dishes in the spicy hotpot and it is easy to make, which is suitable for beginners like Jiang Qin and Su Minmin.

If the business is good, she can build the spicy hotpot into a brand. As for Haokezhai, she does not plan to make it a brand. Scarcity makes things valuable, and if there are too many, it will not be surprising.

There was a sign in front of the store advertising the shop for rent. Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Qin walked in, only to see that the boss was already discussing the rent with someone else.

The two seemed to have failed to agree on the price, and the man left angrily.

The boss turned around and saw them, and said calmly: "My shop is not rented if it is less than 550 a year. If you can't pay for a year in one lump sum, I won't rent it."

The two looked at the layout of the store and found that it was only half the size of Haokezhai, but the rent was 550 a year, which was too expensive.

Jiang Qin whispered in Ji Xiaoxi's ear: "Xiaoxi, let's forget it and go look for something else."

"Wait a minute." Ji Xiaoxi said and looked at the shop owner, "Boss, do you have any difficulties?

I see that your shop was originally a breakfast shop, right?

Why did you suddenly stop doing it?"

The boss sighed and said, "I have opened the breakfast shop for a few months, but as you can see, the business is not very good. I have not sold many of the buns and dumplings I made in the morning.

I have a whole family at home waiting to be fed. I have lost too much money in the past few months. My family asked me to rent out the house as soon as possible and go back to my hometown.

At least we have the rent and the land at home, so we won’t starve to death.

Wait for a while and then come out and look for an opportunity."

"Boss, we came out early in the morning and haven't had breakfast yet. Can you give us a portion of xiaolongbao and a portion of steamed dumplings?" Ji Xiaoxi said.

"Xiaoxi, why are you still eating?" Jiang Qin said in a low voice.

"I'm really hungry. I didn't eat much this morning and I've been running all morning. I'm already growling with hunger."

"Ok."

The boss didn't think much about it. When he heard they said they were hungry, he stood up to get the buns and dumplings, and brought a small dish of chili. "This is the chili sauce I made myself. You can dip the dumplings in it. It tastes very good. Many customers wanted to buy more from me after they finished eating."

When talking about this chili sauce, the boss smiled and was obviously very proud of it.
