Catering God

Chapter 70 Trial opening

"Yuanyuan seems sad..."

Chen Jingyu seemed to be able to feel Gao Jiayuan's sadness, but didn't know why.

So she could only think about the conversation just now and look for clues from it... Suddenly, she remembered what Gao Jiayuan had just said.

"...I believe his shop will soon be prosperous, and then he will have time to play with you..."

"Well."

Chen Jingyu's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had an idea. She nodded in approval and murmured to herself, "Although Yuanyuan is sad, and I don't know why, but...it really is a blessing in disguise."

She was very sure.

That’s how the proverb works.

……

The next day.

Training is over.

Jiang Feng prepared to go to the store to inspect and see how the trial operation was going today.

Because of military training, my cell phone was turned off. When I turned it on, I saw several missed calls from Tang Wenjun.

He thought something had happened and quickly called.

When the call was connected, Jiang Feng frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you calling me so many times?"

Tang Wenjun on the other end of the phone said cheerfully, "Didn't you say yesterday that we'd have a soft opening today? You only asked me to prepare 80 copies of the materials. But we sold out as soon as we opened this afternoon. The two employees were so busy that they were exhausted... I've already told them to close the shop and take a break."

Jiang Feng was a little surprised: "So soon? Are there many people here?"

"I didn't know. You know, I'm also in military training. I just finished training and went to the store. I saw two employees sitting there playing. I thought there were no customers, but who knew they were all sold out? That's why I called you."

"Then I won't come over. Ask the staff if they've encountered any problems during business operations. If there are any, make timely corrections... Well, prepare 300 copies of the materials for tomorrow."

Finished the phone call with Tang Wenjun.

Jiang Feng called Chen Jingyu again: "Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll take you to eat tofu rice."

……

Wait until the next day when it opens.

As luck would have it, the weather was not good and it started to rain.

Fortunately, the military training was temporarily cancelled for one day.

Jiang Feng arranged two sophomore seniors to work part-time to distribute promotional cards in the school.

With this card, you can redeem it for a serving of crispy rice potatoes at the store.

In marketing, this is a violent method of attracting new customers. Later, when playing with private domain traffic, this method was also often seen.

The effect is quick, but the only drawback is the high cost, and if the product is not good enough, customer stickiness will be very low.

Jiang Feng is not short of money, so even if he has to spend so much money on advertising, he will do it for a period of time.

What we need is efficiency and to quickly build up this store.

Ordinary people need natural traffic to open a store, but he doesn’t have so much time to wait, so he is willing to invest in publicity and promotion costs.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng had not yet finished distributing the promotional cards when he received a call from Tang Wenjun.

"Jiang Feng, sold out again!"

"What?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised: "It's only been open for two hours and it's already sold out?"

Because the store has just opened and there is only one store at present, and there is no central kitchen for centralized supply, he temporarily requires the employees to prepare the ingredients in the store in the morning.

The business hours are moved to the afternoon, which happens to be the peak sales period for snacks.

Looking at the time, it’s only been open for two hours and the three hundred servings of crispy rice potatoes are already sold out?

Tang Wenjun said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Yes, I heard from the store staff that there's already a long line before we even opened today. It seems our rice-crust potatoes are a huge success."

Jiang Feng frowned.

I feel like there's something fishy going on.

Based on his many years of experience in the catering industry, how could the store's traffic be at this level when there was no time to carry out opening marketing activities and no prior publicity?

Just when he was doubtful.

I heard a few classmates passing by discussing: "Hey, have you heard that there's a new shop selling fried potatoes opened over on the snack street? They're delicious and not expensive, only three yuan a portion."

"Yes, the store is handing out promotional cards at school today. With the cards, you can get one for free."

"Free is a bummer! The store over there at the North Second Street intersection is having a promotion, giving away a free serving of fried potatoes and five yuan in cash."

"What? Take us there!"

After listening to this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but frown as he looked at the classmates walking away.

……

North Second Street.

A tall man wearing sunglasses was holding a stack of banknotes and handing out money to the long queue next to him.

The people in line, each holding a serving of rice-crusted potatoes, came to the man in sunglasses one after another. The man in sunglasses marked the paper bowls of rice-crusted potatoes with a pen, and then gave them eight yuan, repeating this process repeatedly.

The man in sunglasses was very serious and was busy for a long time.

Finally, there was only one person left in the team.

He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give money to the boy in front of him when he was suddenly stunned.

Jiang Feng held a serving of crispy rice potatoes in his hand and asked jokingly, "I heard that you can earn eight yuan for a serving of crispy rice potatoes here. Is that true?"

The man in sunglasses was stunned on the spot.

When he turned around and prepared to run away, Jiang Feng stopped him: "Don't run, it's not like I haven't seen you before."

This person is the bodyguard who delivered the car to Jiang Feng a few days ago.

Jiang Feng remembered it very clearly. Although the other person was wearing sunglasses at the moment, he could recognize him at a glance.

The man in sunglasses stopped and looked at Jiang Feng very awkwardly: "Young Master Jiang, I said I have a lot of money today and nowhere to spend it, so I want to do charity. Do you believe me?"

"Yeah, I believe it."

Jiang Feng handed the rice-crusted potatoes in his hand to the bodyguard, then took out his cell phone and called Chen Jingyu.

If he still doesn't know what's going on now, then he's mentally retarded.

When the call was connected, Jiang Feng said:

"I heard from my classmates that there's a beef rice restaurant near the school that's really delicious. Come out quickly."

"it is good!"

Chen Jingyu's tone was as excited as yesterday.

"It's on North Second Street."

"Um... Jiang Feng, I want to eat in the cafeteria today, why don't we go to the cafeteria."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "No, there are people doing charity work on North Second Street..."

He glanced at the bodyguard.

Then he said, "Buy a serving of crispy rice potatoes and get eight yuan for free. What a good deal."

Chen Jingyu on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Jiang Feng sighed softly: "Come out, let's talk."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng looked at the bodyguard in front of him who was very unnatural, crossed his arms and asked: "I thought you went back after giving me the car that day."

The man in sunglasses replied, "Master Tiankuo arranged for me to stay in Handu so that I can take care of Miss Jingyu."

"Only you?"

"Yes." The man in sunglasses nodded and hurriedly explained, "Master Jiang, don't be angry. This is actually my own idea. The young lady doesn't know about it."

As soon as the man in sunglasses finished speaking, a man of the same height and build as him ran over from a distance and reported happily, "Brother Zhao, the money over there has been distributed. I promise that we will never be discovered. The lady also asked me to..."

When he ran closer and saw Jiang Feng in front of his colleague Brother Zhao, he stopped talking mid-sentence, stopped jogging and stood still.

He was a few steps away from the two of them, and he began to walk in circles, looking around, and even acted like a real person: "Hey, where is my brother Zhao? Why is he gone?"

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at the bodyguard wearing sunglasses, as if wanting an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the bodyguard in sunglasses started touching his nose awkwardly.
