Chapter 121 Calling for Meals
Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently.
"As the saying goes, first the villains, then the gentlemen. I pay you all to work so that you can have a stable income. I also hope that you will be loyal to me and promise not to leak the food recipes I gave you!"
"If anyone violates the terms of this confidentiality document, I will not forgive them. Not only will they have to pay me compensation, but they will also be sued and sent to jail!"
Liu Fugui and Jiang Xingjun nodded.
"So that's what happened!"
"Little sister is right. We should act like we are doing things properly. I will sign this confidentiality document!"
Liu Fugui also said: "I will sign it too! I will sign it too! We can't work to earn money without conscience."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Fugui and Third Brother."
The confidential document is made in two copies. After both parties sign and seal it, each party will take one copy.
Su Xiaoxiao put away the documents signed by Liu Fugui and Jiang Xingjun, and took out some more.
"Uncle Fugui, please give these to the people working in the village. If they agree, please sign. If they don't agree, that's fine. I'll find someone else to help!"
Liu Fugui folded his own document and put it in his arms, then immediately took the confidential document handed over by Su Xiaoxiao.
"They will all agree."
"Well, please, Uncle Fugui, bring me the signed documents when you deliver the goods next time."
"no problem!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the shop to open.
Early in the morning, everyone prepared everything, opened the shop door, and came to the shop door.
Jiang Xingjun brought a ladder, leaned it against the door, climbed up with the string of firecrackers Su Xiaoxiao handed him, and hung the long string of firecrackers at the door for use.
Before he came down, he saw a lion dance troupe coming from a distance.
He pointed in that direction and said, "Little sister, auntie, look!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Wanzhu looked in the direction of Jiang Xingjun's finger, and sure enough, they saw a lion dance troupe coming towards them.
They arrived at the door of Su Xiaoxiao's shop, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Miss Lan asked us to come and celebrate the opening of Boss Su's shop."
Su Xiaoxiao and the others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Lan Ling would invite a lion dance team for them. She was really a thoughtful girl.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she must thank Lan Ling later.
Following the order from the leader of the lion dance team, the instrument team on the side began to make noises by beating and banging. The performers of the lion dance team also found their positions and performed very hard following the beat of the drums.
Their participation also successfully attracted passers-by to stop and take a look.
Seeing the red cloth on the signboard of Su Xiaoxiao's shop and the firecrackers hanging on the side, everyone guessed that this was a newly opened shop.
Among the onlookers were also some of Su Xiaoxiao’s former customers.
They always remembered the day when Su Xiaoxiao's shop opened, and they rushed over early in the morning to support Su Xiaoxiao and see what new food Su Xiaoxiao had added to the shop.
The lion dance team performed very brilliantly. After one dance ended, they performed another one, which made the onlookers shout that it was very enjoyable and applauded continuously.
After the lion dance performance, Su Xiaoxiao gave the corresponding reward money and Jiang Xingjun lit firecrackers.
The crackling sound of firecrackers was deafening. Everyone covered their ears and dodged to the side for fear of being hit by the firecrackers.
After the firecrackers were set off, Su Xiaoxiao pulled down the red cloth on the plaque, and the red cloth slowly fell to the ground. Su Xiaoxiao strode forward a few steps and bowed to the onlookers.
"Dear fellow villagers, dear elders, today we are opening our Su-style noodle shop. We will provide free tea and melon seeds to anyone who enters our shop. During the first three days of opening, all customers who consume in our shop will receive a two-cent discount!"
"it is good!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the others began to applaud.
Su Xiaoxiao made room for half of her body, "Welcome everyone! Welcome everyone! Please come in! Please come in!"
The onlookers no longer hesitated and walked into the shop together.
Soon, the hall was full of people.
Those who didn’t have seats found a suitable place to stand and comment on everything in the shop with the people around them.
In the middle of the front hall, there is a striking board with a detailed list of the various noodles and spicy hot pot offered by the store, and the corresponding prices are marked on it.
Su Xiaoxiao was worried that there might be illiterate customers, so she asked Jiang Xingjun to shout a few times in the store.
"Hot dry noodles and noodle soup are priced at ten cents a bowl, fried noodles with egg, fried noodles with shredded pork, and fried noodles with fish flavor are priced at twelve cents a bowl, and spicy hot pot is priced at fifteen cents a bowl! Customers who want to order can go to the pick-up counter and tell us what they want. We will give you a small wooden sign with the corresponding number on it. When your meal is ready, we will call your number to pick it up!"
This method was also told to them by Su Xiaoxiao.
Customers can pick up their meals by calling their numbers, without having to wait in line, and can also avoid picking up the wrong meals, which is very convenient.
In order to distinguish the different types of food, Su Xiaoxiao even painted different colors on the small wooden signs.
Two small wooden signs of the same color and with the same numbers written on them are given to the customer, while the other is placed on the corresponding tableware.
When cooking, you can tell what kind of noodles you want to make by looking at the color of the wooden sign on the noodle serving tableware.
This also makes it easier for people cooking in the kitchen to avoid mixing up the food.
The customers had never heard of this novel way of ordering and were very curious.
In addition, there was a promotion where all food was two cents cheaper, so everyone was eager to try it.
Someone decided what to buy, walked to the ordering counter, and said to Zhao Wanzhu who was waiting inside, "I want an order of egg fried noodles!"
Zhao Wanzhu took out two small yellow wooden signs with the number "one" written on them, handed one to the customer, and placed the other on the empty plate.
"Okay! Take your number plate. I'll call your number when you're ready!"
"Good good!"
The customer returned to his seat with the small wooden sign, waiting expectantly for the noodles he wanted to eat.
After the first person placed an order, the second, third, and fourth customers followed.
Seeing that more people were ordering food, Su Xiaoxiao ran to the kitchen and started working with Jiang Xingjun and Zhao Wanzhu.
Su Chengen was also busy, helping to move the customers' tableware from the front hall to the kitchen.
The four of them were busy for a full hour.
After the morning meal, there were fewer customers and the few people could take a break.
At this time, Cui Boxian and Lan Ling came with gifts.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao hurried out to greet him.
Cui Boxian and Lan Ling presented gifts one after another.
Cui Boxian was the first to ask, "How was Miss Su's business this morning?"
Lan Ling also came over, his dark eyes filled with light.
"Are you busy?"
Su Xiaoxiao thanked them for their gifts and replied, "I'm really busy."
Lan Ling had an expression that said, "I knew it," and said proudly, "We knew you'd be busy, so we came a little late on purpose!"
"Sister Ling'er is so thoughtful. Oh, and I also want to thank Sister Ling'er for inviting a lion dance team to help me celebrate!"
Lan Ling waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
Why does this sound so familiar?
Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at Cui Boxian. Cui Boxian smiled and shook his head slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao said the same thing when she rescued him from the river.
