"Yes, I've already had the necessary ingredients prepared, and I've also had the meat marinated in advance today."

Seeing that Xiao Yuze had taken care of everything, Song Zhili had nothing else to say.

"Alright, then we'll look forward to opening tomorrow. You'd better make sure you have enough ingredients, because I'm afraid you won't have enough when customers come tomorrow."

Song Zhili was very confident in the roast meat; her only concern was that Xiao Yuze hadn't prepared enough.

"Yes, I know. I've prepared enough. I'm even worried that no one will order the barbecue tomorrow."

Hearing what Xiao Yuze said, Song Zhili nodded. The group didn't stay in the restaurant any longer. After checking the restaurant, they left together.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Today was the opening day of their Jixiang Restaurant, and Xiao Yuze got up early and headed to the restaurant.

After Song Zhili and He Chengjing finished packing, they didn't see Xiao Yuze. They learned from the servants that he had gone to the restaurant, so the two of them went there without even having breakfast.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Jixiang Restaurant, they saw Xiao Yuze standing at the entrance, instructing the restaurant's staff to remove the red cloth from the restaurant's signboard.

Then they heard firecrackers going off at the door. They were a little late; the store was about to open.

It didn't matter. Song Zhili and He Chengjing walked towards Xiao Yuze. As they walked, they heard people whispering nearby.

"Hey, have you heard? This newly opened Jixiang Restaurant also sells fish balls, and I heard the price is slightly cheaper than the Xilai Restaurant across the street."

"Yes, I heard about it too. That's why I came here. I've tried the fish balls at Xilai Restaurant before, and they were quite good. This restaurant is opening today, so let's go and try their food."

Hearing these people's comments, Song Zhili glanced at the Xilai Restaurant across the street. It was deserted, a stark contrast to their Jixiang Restaurant.

She even saw the waiters inside the Xilai Restaurant craning their necks, looking around at their Jixiang Restaurant with anxious expressions on their faces.

“Miss Song, why did you come so early in the morning? I was going to let you sleep a little longer and I didn’t ask the servants to wake you up.”

Hearing Xiao Yuze's voice, Song Zhili withdrew her gaze. "Today is the opening day of Jixiang Restaurant, how can we miss it?"

"Hehe, then, let me take you to the inner room." With that, Xiao Yuze led Song Zhili and He Chengjing into the Jixiang Restaurant and then led them to a private room on the second floor.

Xiao Yuze also asked the shop assistant to bring up a pot of tea and some snacks.

Song Zhili and He Chengjing sat down opposite Xiao Yuze. The private room they were in had a perfect view of the entire lobby on the first floor.

Looking down, almost all the tables in the lobby were full of people, and they could even see the direction of the entrance.

There were still many people queuing up at the entrance. The reason why so many people came to the opening of Jixiang Restaurant today was Song Zhili's idea.

She told Xiao Yuze yesterday that for the first three days after the opening, all customers who come to the restaurant will receive a 20% discount.

She also instructed Xiao Yuze to spread the news a few days in advance, and sure enough, this method worked extremely well. Today, so many people came to their restaurant as soon as it opened.

From the moment Xiao Yuze arrived until now, the corners of his mouth have never left his lips. He is genuinely happy, and he has to admire He Chengjing's gaze!

Such a treasure of a girl was snatched away by He Chengjing.

Thinking of this, he got up and sat down next to He Chengjing, speaking softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"He Chengjing, in your Peach Blossom Village, do you know any smart girls like Miss Song? Could you introduce me to some?"

"Ouch."

Xiao Yuze had barely finished speaking when He Chengjing unexpectedly tapped him on the forehead. He rubbed the spot where he had been hit, wincing in pain, and sat back down with a wronged expression.

"Fine, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Why be so violent?" He muttered to himself as he walked away.

Their interaction naturally did not escape Song Zhili's eyes. Seeing Xiao Yuze being beaten, Song Zhili couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The three of them sat upstairs, drinking tea and chatting while watching the guests come and go below.

Around noon, one of the waiters came to their private room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Xiao Yuze called out, and the waiter at the door respectfully walked in and said to Xiao Yuze.

"Boss, we don't have enough barbecue meat in the kitchen, and some customers downstairs said they want to order more. What should we do?"

Xiao Yuze thought for a moment, realizing it was too late to marinate it again now, and could only say helplessly, "Go down and tell them that there is no more barbecue today. If they want to eat, they can come again tomorrow, and we will reserve a seat for them."

"Yes." The young waiter responded and was about to leave when Xiao Yuze quickly stopped him. "Wait, go down and have the manager put up a notice at the door saying that there is no more roast meat today, and those who want to eat roast meat should come back tomorrow."

"Send someone to buy the ingredients now, and marinate them tonight."

After saying all this, Xiao Yuze dismissed the waiter and then glanced helplessly at Song Zhili.

Yesterday, Song Zhili specifically reminded him to prepare more, but he felt that he had prepared enough. However, before the day was even over, the barbecue was already gone. What a blunder!

He regretted it so much; he should have listened to Song Zhili yesterday and prepared more.

"It's alright, we'll prepare more tomorrow. Go down and tell the waiter to give a numbered plaque to everyone who didn't get to eat barbecue today."

Then tomorrow, have them bring their signs and we'll reserve seats for them in order.

Xiao Yuze nodded when he heard that Song Zhili's method was quite good. He got up and walked out of the private room. He needed to go downstairs to give some instructions.

Suddenly, only He Chengjing and Song Zhili remained in the room. Song Zhili had been there all morning and was feeling a bit bored, so she turned to He Chengjing and said something.

"He Chengjing, aren't you bored? I want to go find Liu Yiyi, do you want to come with me? Or are you going to stay here?"

"Go ahead, it's not appropriate for me to stay with you. I'll stay here and come find me at the restaurant when you come back."
