Chapter 364: Weilou's business is booming
This is his first time opening his own store, and he can't mess it up.
"Ah! You actually poisoned the food and tried to murder me?" Suddenly, a customer screamed and pointed at Lin He.
Lin He shuddered with fear and hurried over. "Sir, I don't know why you are slandering Qianweilou. We've only been open for business for the first day. How could you possibly poison the food?"
"You said you didn't poison me, but as soon as I ate this dish, I felt something was wrong. My tongue felt a stinging pain. If this isn't poisoning, what is it?" the man said, pointing at the Mapo Tofu.
"Go get a pair of clean chopsticks." Lin He calmed down and said to the waiter beside him.
"Sir, I told you that the food in our restaurant is unique. We use a special seasoning called chili pepper. The taste of this chili pepper is different, but it is very delicious. And this Mapo Tofu uses this chili pepper seasoning." Lin He explained.
Just then, the waiter brought over clean chopsticks. Lin He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu, and put it into his mouth. "I'll try it myself. I won't hurt myself, right?"
After seeing Lin He really swallowed the Mapo Tofu, the young man relaxed a little and picked up another piece of Mapo Tofu and started eating.
"The taste is indeed unique. I would like another pot of tea. Please bring it up quickly." The man said while fanning his mouth with his hand.
After saying that, the young man picked up another piece of Mapo Tofu and continued eating, sighing as he ate, "Delicious, delicious, so satisfying! This is much more satisfying than drinking!"
His friend jokingly said, "Is it really that delicious? You just said you were poisoned, but now you say it's delicious. I want to try it and see if it's really as delicious as you say."
After saying that, the man also picked up the chopsticks and tried it. The taste was strange, but after a while, an indescribable feeling spread in his mouth. It was indeed a unique taste.
"Yes, this taste is indeed unique to the Great Xia Dynasty! It's delicious, really delicious!" The man gave a thumbs up and praised.
Seeing the two men enjoying the meal so much, the other three men at the table also tried Mapo Tofu. They were reluctant to accept it at first, but then they became more and more addicted to it.
Especially when I ate the stir-fried pork with green peppers, I was even more shocked, and even ordered another plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers.
After finishing the meal, everyone was still reluctant to leave. The young man who had just led the group asked as he paid the bill, "I heard you say when I came in just now that if you deposit twenty taels, you get one tael free, right?"
Lin He was standing by the counter, smiling and saying, "Indeed, sir, would you like to top up your account?"
"Recharge, just fifty taels! And deduct today's meal money from it." The young man reached into his sleeve to take out the silver.
"Sir, everything goes smoothly. Why don't you give us 60 taels and we'll give you 3 taels. What do you think? It's another good start!" Lin He said.
"Hey, you're so talkative at such a young age! Then let's do as you say and charge sixty taels!"
"Okay, may I ask your name, sir..." Lin He took out the account book and wrote down the name of the young man, the recharge date, the consumption date, the amount, the balance, etc. After he finished writing, he showed it to the young man.
"This accounting method is quite unique, but it is indeed clear at a glance." The man signed his name in the account book and left with his brother happily.
Before leaving, he kept saying that he would bring his wife and children to try other dishes tomorrow.
With them taking the lead, others began to try Qianweilou’s new dishes.
Most people love chili peppers, and only a few people don’t like the taste of chili peppers.
Some people ordered hotpot, and they were very curious about the way of eating and cooking at the same time.
Their hotpot is a specially made shuangyuan hotpot, which is suitable for some people who like spicy food and some who don’t.
On the first day, not many people knew about Qianweilou, but customers still occupied more than half of the seats in the restaurant.
The next day, perhaps because the signboard from the previous day had spread, coupled with word of mouth, there were so many customers coming to Qianweilou that day that the entire place was almost packed.
There were even quite a few people queuing outside, waiting for the customers in front of them to finish eating before they could come in to eat.
After three days, Lin He collapsed on the counter, exhausted. "Oh my god, I didn't expect there would be so many people. I'm almost dying of exhaustion!"
Shen Wanning smiled and patted his shoulder. "It's only been three days, and you're already tired?"
Lin He nodded. "Before, I took over Mingyuelou and Zuihongzhuang directly, and they basically had a fixed sales model. But Qianweilou was founded by me single-handedly. I had to greet customers myself for the first three days of opening. It was really tiring."
"There have been discounts these days, and people may be coming to see what's new, so business is better, but it may not be so good in the future. By that time, when things stabilize, you won't have to do everything yourself, you can leave it to other people." Shen Wanning said.
"Yeah, it's just these few days that we're tired. And in just three days, we've made a lot of money! I haven't calculated it carefully, but the money they recharged in three days has already earned back the money we spent on buying the restaurant." Lin He immediately became excited when he talked about money.
"So many? That means chili peppers are quite popular!" Shen Wanning exclaimed.
Thinking of the chili peppers, Shen Wanning began to think more. She had already given away some of them, and was worried that someone might sell them. It seemed she would have to tell Aunt Zhang and the others not to give too many to the villagers in the future.
Even if you want to give them as gifts, you should give those seedless dried chilies.
Sooner or later, their peppers would be discovered and grown. After all, if someone was really determined, they could even steal them at night and sell them. However, at this point in time, Qianweilou had just opened, and they couldn't let other restaurants imitate them so quickly.
After the three-day opening ceremony, Shen Wanning returned to Daqing Town, leaving Lin He alone in Fuzhou to continue to look after Qianweilou's business.
He will go back after Qianweilou’s business stabilizes.
Aunt Zhang and Lin Dashan went back the day after the opening. They came just to join in the fun.
After returning to Daqing Town, Shen Wanning's first thing was to go to the fields to check on her rice.
The rice is now starched and the grains are plump. Once they turn yellow, they can be harvested.
"Chen Zihao, why are you still here? It's already November and it's so cold. Aren't you cold still guarding here?" Shen Wanning was very surprised that Chen Zihao was still guarding here at this time.
