My humble days in ancient times
Chapter 103 The second fast food restaurant opened
Xu Qinghe decisively bought two more shops in the county town. One shop was still a Ruyi fast food restaurant. He confidently let Zhuzi run it.
When Zhuzi heard the news, he was so happy that he danced with joy. He immediately took Li Hehua with him and carefully found two more people to help. He was full of anticipation and ready to work hard.
What else should I do? Xu Qinghe fell into deep thought for a moment, his brows furrowed, not knowing what to do.
"Brother, don't be so gloomy. We can slowly think of a use for this shop. How about renting it out first, and then taking it back and running it ourselves when we have a good idea?"
Xu Qinghe's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's a good idea, but who should I rent it to?"
Xu Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether the tenant's use of the property is suitable and whether the rent is reasonable. We can put up a notice and people will naturally come to inquire."
Xu Qinghe nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After a few days, many people came to inquire about renting the shop. Xu Qinghe and Xu Ruyi carefully screened the candidates and finally rented the shop to a silk merchant.
The merchant seemed honest and offered a considerable rent. Xu Qinghe finally felt relieved.
Xu Qinghe specially brought Zhuzi and Li Hehua to Lei Da's place. When Zhuzi first arrived, he heard Lei Da respectfully call Xu Qinghe "Young Master" and his eyes widened in shock. He never thought that Xu Qinghe actually had such a Ruyi fast food restaurant.
Many people in the village still knew nothing about this. This news was concealed very tightly! Everyone was still in the dark and had no idea that Xu Qinghe already had such an industry in the county.
Zhuzi and Li Hehua humbly learned cooking skills from Lei Da for more than half a month, getting up early and staying up late every day, studying hard. From the selection of ingredients to the control of the heat, from the precise seasoning to the innovation of dishes, they did not dare to be careless in every step.
After studying hard for a period of time, they finally accumulated enough experience and skills, and then they had the confidence to open Ruyi Fast Food Restaurant smoothly.
Thus, the second Ruyi fast food restaurant was successfully opened. The layout of the room was almost the same as Lei Da's, both were neat, orderly, warm and pleasant.
The first Ruyi fast food restaurant was located at the school in the easternmost part of the county town, mainly serving students, while the second one was located in the west of the county town, catering to the surrounding residents.
On the opening day, Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe were also busy helping out in the store.
Unexpectedly, business was surprisingly good. Xu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the residents have more money than the students!"
On the first day, we prepared a rich variety of ingredients, including six meat dishes and six vegetarian dishes: spicy chicken nuggets, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the spicy flavor was just right; braised fish nuggets, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bright red color; Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour, with a fragrant aroma; stir-fried pork and green peppers, the pork was smooth and tender, and the green peppers were crisp...
Unexpectedly, the residents came in waves, unlike students who had fixed time points. This made the store busy all the time and took a lot longer.
Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe helped serve the dishes, the two helpers kept clearing the dishes, and Zhuzi and Li Hehua continued to be busy cooking in the kitchen.
Finally, there were fewer people in the store, and everyone was able to take a break and have a quick meal.
Xu Ruyi ate the food with big mouthfuls and said with satisfaction: "Brother Zhuzi's cooking skills are good, the taste is really amazing."
After hearing this, Zhuzi said modestly, "Master Lei taught me well. I only learned the basics. Compared to you, I'm still far behind. Sister Ruyi, your cooking skills are truly superb."
Xu Qinghe's mouth was full of rice, and he said vaguely: "Well, I don't know anything about cooking. I can't tell the difference between what you cook. As long as I can fill my stomach, it's fine."
After hearing this, Li Hehua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. The laughter was crisp and pleasant.
Li Hehua smiled and said, "What they both cook is delicious. You should eat more! Don't just talk. The food is getting cold."
Everyone was talking and laughing, the atmosphere was lively and happy, and the joyful scene seemed to dispel all the fatigue of the day.
At night, Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe continued to help out in the shop. Under the lights, their busy figures kept moving back and forth.
The brother and sister worked tirelessly for three days. During these three days, with their assistance, Zhuzi, Li Hehua, and the two helpers became increasingly skilled, gradually becoming adept at all tasks. Xu Ruyi observed all this and finally felt relieved.
This shop's business is much more prosperous than the school's, and its income is three times that of the school.
So Xu Ruyi said to Zhuzi, "Brother Zhuzi, you see the business is so booming, why don't you hire two more people? Otherwise, if it goes on like this, you won't be able to handle it."
Zhuzi nodded repeatedly and said, "I've been really exhausted these past few days. Don't worry, I'll write a job posting right away."
Xu Qinghe also came forward and said to Zhuzi, "Brother Zhuzi, I'll trouble you to take care of this store from now on."
Zhuzi said modestly, "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and will never let you down."
Then Zhuzi patted his chest and continued, "Brother Qinghe, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of this store."
A few days later, Zhuzi's two new hires arrived and, after a brief training session, began helping out. Business was still booming, and Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe would occasionally stop by to check it out.
One day, when Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe came over, Zhuzi said happily, "Sister Ruyi, Brother Qinghe, if we keep up this momentum, we'll be able to open another branch soon."
Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "That's great, but we can't be impatient. We have to stabilize the business of this store first."
Xu Qinghe also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should take one step at a time."
As they were talking, Shopkeeper Zhao came over with his shop assistants, chatting and laughing to have dinner.
When Shopkeeper Zhao saw Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe as soon as he entered, he said cheerfully, "Looking at the name of this shop, I knew it was opened by you two. This sign, this style, it's obvious that you two did it."
After hearing this, Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe couldn't help but smile at each other, and their smiles were full of kindness and enthusiasm.
Xu Ruyi said gracefully, "Welcome."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao broke into a smile that was full of familiarity and joy.
Shopkeeper Zhao looked around the food counter with great interest. He saw a wide variety of dishes, all of which were delicious and mouth-watering.
Finally, he ordered four dishes: braised prawns in oil, bright red in color and fragrant; braised fish fillets, tender and tasty; stir-fried eggplant, soft and delicious; and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, red and yellow in color, very appetizing.
The prices here are slightly higher than at the college. Vegetarian dishes are one cent more per plate, and meat dishes are two cents more. But even so, it still doesn't stop the huge influx of diners every day.
Shopkeeper Zhao and his waiter ate with gusto. Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't stop praising the food while eating, "Delicious, delicious! The taste is absolutely amazing. I will come here often in the future."
Finally, after the meal, Manager Zhao took out the silver to pay the bill, but was stopped by Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe.
Xu Ruyi said with a smile: "We are all acquaintances. Even if I am treating you this time, Manager Zhao, please don't be polite to me."
Shopkeeper Zhao said politely, "In that case, I will shamelessly eat a free meal for once."
After saying that, several people couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the store, filling it with a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.
