The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

The next day was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when shops resumed normal business.

There were as many guests as usual that day, and Lin Zhi and the three little ones all went to help.

Most of the customers who came at this time were old customers, so Lin Zhi took this opportunity to say goodbye to them.

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

The sun had not yet risen, but the carriage was already waiting at the door.

Because they were going to live in the provincial capital permanently, they brought a lot of things this time and even hired an extra carriage.

After the things were moved, the carriage slowly moved out of the city.

Lin Zhi didn't allow anyone to see him off, so those tear-jerking scenes did not happen.

Parting is just a prelude to the next meeting, there is no need to be sad.

Fucheng.

The shop renovation was completed before the New Year.

After the beginning of the new year, Shi Feiyang had the house cleaned up and invited his family to visit.

This was the first time he had done something so serious, and he wanted his family to praise him.

If he had a tail behind him, I wonder how happily he would wag it.

Shi Feiyang stood at the door of the newly renovated store, his face full of anticipation, constantly looking in the direction where his family was coming from. He sorted out the flowers placed at the door for a while, and then went in to check the layout of the store, fearing that there was any flaw.

Finally, footsteps were heard in the distance, and Shi Feiyang's eyes suddenly lit up.

As his family members approached, he excitedly greeted them and said, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, you are finally here. Come in and take a look at this shop I opened."

The store is well decorated, which makes people's eyes bright again and again.

However, the Shi family was not optimistic about the development of this store.

The main reason is that the location of this store is too remote. Will there really be customers coming to such a remote place?

Father Shi walked into the store, looked around, frowned and said, "Fei Yang, this store is indeed well decorated, but the location is too remote. Why did you choose such a place?"

Shi's mother also agreed, "Yes, son, there are not many people around here, how can we guarantee the flow of customers? To do business, you have to pay attention to the location."

Shi Feiyang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, the braised food shop in the county town is even more remote than this place, but Lin Zhi still has a lot of customers. I believe she can do it this time as well."

When the family heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that this was the first time their son had done something serious and the money he invested was not much, so it would be better not to discourage him.

So everyone praised him and then changed the subject.

No matter how much we say now, it will have no effect except hurting the relationship. It would be better to let this kid hit his head against the wall once, which would be much better than what they said.

With the praise from his family, Shi Feiyang became more motivated to do things.

Lin Zhi hadn't arrived at the prefecture yet, but it didn't matter. She listed all the things she needed to prepare before returning to the county.

Even a detailed plan was written for personnel training, and there were old employees from the county stores in Fucheng who could help Feiyang to find and fill in the gaps.

In mid-February, Lin Zhi finally arrived at the provincial capital again.

When Shi Feiyang learned that Lin Zhi had arrived in the city, he immediately went to greet him.

After seeing Lin Zhi, he said excitedly: "You are here. I have been looking forward to seeing you."

Lin Zhi smiled and responded: "How is the store doing during my absence?"

Shi Feiyang hurriedly reported: "According to the list you listed earlier, we are gradually preparing. Goods are also being received one after another, and personnel training is also being carried out with the assistance of old employees. It's just that the location of this store is an issue that my family is still a little worried about."

Lin Zhi nodded slightly: "Although the location is remote, it is not insurmountable as long as the business strategy is appropriate. Let's go to the store first."

When the group arrived at the store, Lin Zhi carefully checked everything in the store again and said, "The overall layout is well maintained. Next, we need to focus on publicity and promotion. We can distribute coupons in some busy markets in the city to attract customers to try. In addition, we can cooperate with some inns and pubs in the city and let them sell our braised food on behalf of us, which can also increase our popularity."

Shi Feiyang carefully recorded Lin Zhi's words and said, "Your ideas are all great. Why didn't I think of them?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "This is all about experience. With gradual accumulation, you will be able to take charge of your own business in the future. By the way, in terms of staff training, in addition to basic service standards, we must also focus on cultivating employees' adaptability. After all, there will be various situations when facing different customers."

Afterwards, Lin Zhi personally participated in the employee training. She explained the key points of the service in an easy-to-understand manner. The employees listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time. Lin Zhi patiently answered them.

Under Lin Zhi's guidance, the preparation work for the store progressed rapidly.

During the staff training, Lin Zhi personally prepared the marinade ingredients and began to prepare the braised meat.

The better the marinade, the more fragrant it becomes as time goes by, so the employees in the store tasted the braised meat before the store opened.

I have to say that the braised pork becomes more delicious day by day.

As the training progresses and the preparation of braised meat progresses, the store opening is getting closer.

Lin Zhi and Shi Feiyang became even busier. They repeatedly checked every detail, from the store's sanitation to the display of goods, from the employees' attire to the practice of service skills, striving to achieve perfection. Finally, the opening day arrived.

February twenty-sixth.

Early in the morning, before daybreak, the store was brightly lit and all employees were in high spirits, ready to welcome the first batch of customers.

Lin Zhi and Shi Feiyang stood at the door of the store, looking at the carefully decorated store and everything that was ready, feeling both nervous and excited.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the store entrance, Shi Feiyang took a deep breath and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, good luck with the opening!"

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers rang out and gongs and drums beated, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

"This is a newly opened braised food shop. It looks pretty good." said a passerby.

"Yes, just by smelling the fragrance, I want to try it." Another passerby echoed.

People living nearby have been drooling over the fragrance for half a month. As soon as the store opens, they rush inside without saying a word.

Customers came into the store one after another, and the employees greeted them warmly and guided them to choose braised food.

Lin Zhi observed the customers' reactions from the side so as to adjust the business strategy in time.

"This braised food is so delicious!" A customer praised it highly after taking a bite, "I will buy some more to bring back for my family to try."

"Your service is very thoughtful. I will definitely come here often in the future." Another customer said with satisfaction.

On the first day of opening, the store's business was extremely popular and the braised food was sold out quickly.

There was no way diners who wanted to pack the food to take home for their families to enjoy could even queue up.
