In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 50 Swaggering through the market
Seeing the kitchen in such a miserable state, even though Boss Su was thick-skinned, he felt a little ashamed, especially when he met Su Zhizhi's worried gaze.
Seeing Su Zhizhi coming over to check, Su Laoda said a little embarrassedly: "Zhi girl, I'm sorry, uncle is clumsy and has not used the things in here much, so this is why the kitchen is like this, look at this..."
Su Zhizhi looked at the pitch-black kitchen in front of her, and she felt her heart bleeding. Although the kitchen had hardly been renovated, a lot of things had been added to it, and now all these things were destroyed. When she thought about having to allocate special funds to repair the kitchen, Su Zhizhi felt dizzy.
However, facing Boss Su's apologetic expression, Su Zhizhi couldn't get angry at him as an elder. What's more, Su Zhizhi didn't know what kind of person Boss Su was.
But after the kitchen burned down, Su Zhizhi suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
Her face lit up with joy, but when she met Boss Su's gaze, she restrained her expression and comforted Boss Su: "Uncle, you should go back and rest first. This place has become like this. If you continue to lead it from here, it will be bad if you get hurt."
After saying that, Su Zhizhi hurried to find Xie Chengjin.
Because the kitchen was destroyed, Laiyuelou had to temporarily stop receiving guests. After seeing off the last table of guests, Su Zhizhi closed the door of the restaurant.
She couldn't wait to find Xie Chengjin, who was still worried about the mess in the kitchen. Seeing Su Zhizhi coming over, he couldn't wait to ask, "Zhizhi, what are you going to do with the kitchen now?"
Su Zhizhi felt bad when she looked at the dark kitchen. Without answering Xie Chengjin, she reached out and pulled Xie Chengjin back to her room.
Then, facing Xie Chengjin's puzzled gaze, Su Zhizhi said excitedly: "I have a brilliant idea."
Xie Chengjin's face was filled with black lines. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Su Zhizhi again, "Don't say anything yet. I know you want to ask about the kitchen. My plan is to renovate the kitchen, but we won't renovate it indoors. I plan to separate a space facing the street to use as a kitchen."
After hearing Su Zhizhi's words, Xie Chengjin frowned tightly, "What do you mean...?"
"What I mean is, I plan to set up an open kitchen, a kitchen that can be seen by passers-by outside, and I plan to set up a small place for tasting food, so that we can attract more customers." Su Zhizhi carefully explained her ideas to Xie Chengjin.
Xie Chengjin's frown finally relaxed, and he nodded in approval. "Yes, that's a good idea. Let's do it this way. If we find a good person, it won't take long to fix it. Let's close the shop tomorrow and clean up the kitchen first. Otherwise, we won't be able to cook even if customers come."
Then the two of them began to act separately. This time, Xie Chengjin went out to find a suitable craftsman.
The craftsmen worked very quickly. With the money Su Zhizhi gave them, an open kitchen was built in just half a day. It was fully equipped with everything from stoves to kitchen utensils. It was almost a replica of an indoor kitchen. However, because it was open to the public, special attention had to be paid to the hygiene of the kitchen.
It took another half day to clean the kitchen thoroughly. Of course, all of this was seen by passers-by.
This was also the first time they had seen such a unique marketing method, so when Lai Yue Tower opened the next day, many curious people gathered around.
The old customers first praised the new kitchen and then walked straight into the restaurant. Those who had never set foot in Yuelou were also eager to try the food at the small table.
Su Zhizhi had already arranged for someone to wait nearby. When someone gathered around, the waiter immediately started calling out, "Don't miss out if you're passing by. Free samples, free tasting..."
Free things can arouse people's curiosity the most. More and more people came over, and after tasting the tiny portions of dishes in their hands, nine out of ten chose to step into the restaurant and become guests of Lai Yue Tower.
The result of this was that Lai Yue Lou's turnover on that day reached an unprecedented peak. Even the boss Su Zhizhi had no time to spare throughout the whole day. He was so busy that he kept his feet on the ground. When it was time to close the store, Su Zhizhi collapsed on Datang's table as if exhausted. He didn't care about anything else at all. All he wanted was to rest.
Mrs. Meng caressed Su Zhizhi's tired face lovingly and said with a smile, "Although I'm a little tired, if you knew today's gains, you probably wouldn't be so tired."
When Su Zhizhi heard the word "profit", she immediately recovered her energy for a few seconds and stared at Meng with bright eyes, but she seemed to have overdrawn her adrenaline throughout the whole day and soon became listless again.
Meng looked at Su Zhizhi with a helpless look, sat next to Su Zhizhi and began to settle the account book for the day.
Meng's hands were moving very quickly on the abacus, but the account book was too thick, and it took her almost half an hour to calculate it. Meng then breathed a sigh of relief and handed the account book to Su Zhizhi for inspection.
"Here, take a look. This is today's income. After deducting our costs, the remaining amount has almost doubled compared to before." Meng couldn't help but be amazed at this income.
Su Zhizhi opened her eyes wide, looked over and over again several times, and then exclaimed in surprise. Little did she know that her exclamation actually attracted the attention of Boss Su.
Although Boss Su also wanted to fish in troubled waters, the popularity of the restaurant today also made Boss Su very tired. Originally, he didn't believe that Su Zhizhi could actually lead a group of people to open a restaurant. However, just now, when Su Zhizhi and Meng were not paying attention, he saw the contents of the account book, and Boss Su's eyes instantly turned red.
The series of numbers on it was something that Boss Su couldn't even imagine.
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. How could so much money end up in the hands of that little girl Su Zhizhi? He thought that he had to think of a way to see if he could make some money out of it.
However, what Boss Su didn't know was that when Su Zhizhi accidentally turned around, she saw Boss Su's sneaky figure.
After that, Su Zhizhi became more cautious and wary of Boss Su. Because of Su Zhonghuai's matter, Su Zhizhi couldn't trust Boss Su completely.
