Brush Up Your Proficiency
#118 - Grand Opening Ceremony (Part 2)
"Brother Hao, all kinds of equipment are ready, guaranteed not to have any problems. Many fans on the video account are here for you and want to take photos with you!"
Ma Yang saw Wang Hao come out and hurried to greet him, nodding to Cheng Yufei and Chang Lei as a greeting. He was very talkative towards Wang Hao, a clear difference in treatment, after all, Wang Hao was his idol!
Hearing Ma Yang's words, Wang Hao felt a burst of depression. He even had fans wanting to take photos with him. What was going on? He was just a cook. This world seemed a bit crazy.
Seeing that everything was ready and the auspicious time had arrived, Chang Lei went on stage and announced the official start of the opening ceremony.
As the music sounded, the surrounding people gathered together. Those passing by, seeing such a crowd, also stopped and watched.
Those who often passed by this place had long been curious about this place with the signboard of a Chinese restaurant.
Especially in the past two days, the tempting aroma that wafted over from time to time made them full of expectations for this restaurant that was about to open. The enticing aroma was really irresistible.
As the saying goes, "Good wine needs no bush," it couldn't be more appropriate to describe this place.
With so many people coming to support on the first day of opening, coupled with his own advanced cooking skills as a fuse, this restaurant was officially taking off.
Chang Lei in front was giving a long speech, obviously having memorized all the lines, speaking fluently and naturally without any pauses, perfectly demonstrating his professional qualities as a store manager and host.
"Thank you for leaving your blessings on the autograph wall, and I hope everyone can have a pleasant time at 'Food is Heaven'. We will also serve you wholeheartedly. Thank you, everyone. Now, let's proceed with the unveiling ceremony." After Chang Lei finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Yufei, Li Nan, and Wang Hao.
His voice echoed in the air, carrying a cheerful and solemn atmosphere.
People focused their attention on the three young entrepreneurs.
Cheng Yufei and Li Nan stood on the left, their beautiful figures attracting a lot of attention; while Wang Hao stood on the right, his ordinariness didn't attract much attention to those who didn't know him, but for those fans who came because of the video, it caused a burst of cheers and applause.
According to the pre-arranged positions, the three of them each picked up the red cloth in their hands, preparing to unveil the prelude to this important moment.
In Chang Lei's countdown, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense. People held their breath, waiting for that exciting moment.
When Chang Lei counted to the last sound, Cheng Yufei, Li Nan, and Wang Hao simultaneously pulled down the red cloth in their hands. The red cloth covering the signboard was lifted off, revealing the three characters "食为天 (Shí wéi Tiān)" - "Food is Heaven".
At this moment, the whole scene became quiet, and everyone was shocked by this name. The three characters on the signboard were concise, easy to pronounce, but also seemed to have profound meaning.
The design of the signboard was obviously carefully conceived. It was highly consistent with the style of the restaurant, forming a unique visual impact.
The overall color scheme was just right, making people feel very comfortable and in line with the aesthetics of Xingyun people.
Father Cheng and others nodded secretly in their hearts as they looked at these three concise characters.
As experienced people, they felt the young people's courage and determination from these three characters.
However, they didn't know that this was just a name they came up with on the spur of the moment. But it was this impromptu creation that made the name more charming and vibrant.
With the successful completion of the unveiling ceremony, warm applause and cheers rang out at the scene, and the atmosphere reached a high point.
Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Cheng Lei quickly arranged for the dragon and lion dances to begin, pushing the lively atmosphere to another high point.
Seeing that the ceremony had reached the second half, Wang Hao didn't stay any longer, said hello to the four elders, and went straight to the back kitchen.
Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, he thought to himself: "Judging from the current situation, I can start preparing for the next part."
"This kid Wang Hao is really an eye-opener. If Old Li hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have thought that he was hiding such abilities. We have to come and patronize more in the future to take good care of our bodies."
Father Cheng said with emotion, looking at Wang Hao's leaving back. Wang Hao's talent made him truly understand the meaning of the four words "求贤若渴 (qiú xián ruò kě)" - "eager for talents".
"I have carefully studied the menu. Our daughter has made two sets of menus. One set is common dishes in ordinary restaurants, and the other set is all health-preserving dishes. The price is obviously much higher than the former, obviously made by Wang Hao himself.
We can order a few health-preserving dishes later to experience it." Mother Cheng was meticulous and had already figured out the menu.
She remembered what Mother Li mentioned when chatting just now, that the hospital reportedly concluded after research that the health-preserving dishes made by Wang Hao can not only regulate the body but also have the effects of beauty and skincare.
Although Mother Cheng pretended not to believe it on the surface, she couldn't help but want to try it in her heart.
Objectively speaking, there was nothing wrong with the hospital's conclusion.
According to the laws of nutrition, if the body's functions are well regulated, then a person's mental outlook and overall state will naturally become better, thereby achieving the purpose of beauty and skincare.
Just as they were talking, Chang Lei's ceremony was also coming to an end.
As Chang Lei loudly announced "Food is Heaven, open for business!"
The waiters also followed and shouted "Food is Heaven, open for business!" and guided the crowd to enter the store one after another.
Afterward, the guests were warmly guided to their seats and began to order.
At this time, He Xiaoqing was standing at the front desk, patiently answering various questions raised by the guests.
After only one day of training, He Xiaoqing had obviously worked hard. She had already memorized these questions and was able to deal with each question easily, making people feel very experienced and reliable.
He Xiaoqing's performance made the other colleagues who were also working at the front desk look at her with admiration.
Everyone knew the reason why He Xiaoqing was temporarily added, so no one would say anything about her joining.
After all, everyone still admired Wang Hao very much. His cooking skills were obvious to everyone.
Leaving aside Wang Hao's identity as one of the three bosses, Wang Hao in the promotional video was indeed inspirational enough, which added a layer of filter to him. In addition, his god-like cooking skills made them have no opinion on Wang Hao using his connections to screen people.
After all, in society, having connections like Wang Hao is also a skill.
Moreover, since the person Wang Hao recommended was so capable, everyone naturally had nothing to say.
As time passed, more and more customers arrived at the restaurant.
The originally spacious three-story space was now completely packed.
However, many more customers continued to walk in. Facing such a booming scene, Chang Lei did not panic.
As an experienced manager, he had already prepared a response plan.
Since he couldn't conjure up seats out of thin air, he had to find a way to make these customers wait willingly.
This problem might have given Chang Lei a headache in the past, but now that they had Wang Hao, everything became easier.
"Are the snacks and iced drinks that Third Boss made ready?" Chang Lei asked the nearby staff with a calm expression, his tone even, as if he were asking about something completely ordinary.
However, behind this seemingly ordinary question lay the business acumen of an experienced manager.
"They're ready. Third Boss is so fast. Making those things is like child's play to him. He'd only been in the kitchen for two minutes and they were already done, just waiting to be picked up," a staff member exclaimed.
His eyes sparkled with admiration, praising Wang Hao's execution.
Chang Lei nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. He knew that the success of this event depended on controlling every detail, and Wang Hao's efficient performance made him feel very at ease.
"That's good. Follow the previous arrangement and give a portion to all the waiting customers. Go quickly," Chang Lei instructed. His voice was firm and decisive, with an unquestionable authority.
The staff member quickly nodded in agreement and turned to walk towards the kitchen, ready to deliver the snacks and iced drinks made by Wang Hao to each waiting customer.
Chang Lei couldn't help but admire Wang Hao's execution ability.
Although he had already arranged everything beforehand, Wang Hao's ability to complete the production in such a short time gave him a deeper understanding of Wang Hao's capabilities.
Wang Hao is indeed a reliable boss. Looking at the big boss next to him, who was showing off to people in his circle, he thought to himself, the two really complement each other.
Chang Lei's plan was to keep the customers with these delicious snacks.
In the catering industry, this kind of tactic is not uncommon. Almost all restaurants use similar methods to attract customers.
However, unlike other restaurants, the snacks made by Wang Hao were unique, delicious, and left a lasting impression. They were like a magical force that people couldn't resist, and once they tasted them, they would never forget them.
Therefore, using them to keep customers was naturally effortless.
Sure enough, the customers who were originally full of complaints about not having seats and were preparing to leave, miraculously quieted down after tasting these uniquely flavored snacks and stopped mentioning leaving.
They sat quietly in the waiting area, savoring the food, and occasionally looked at those who already had seats, thinking to themselves, "If even these snacks are so delicious, what will the main courses be like?"
"Ten servings of 'Di San Xian', fifteen servings of stir-fried mutton with scallions, five servings of sauerkraut fish, six servings of white fungus and lotus seed soup..." As the orders came in one after another, the entire kitchen instantly became lively.
With the blessing of advanced skills, Wang Hao's serving speed was astonishing. The stoves in the kitchen were at full blast, and with the full cooperation of the assistants, he could produce a large pot of food almost every minute, and this large pot of food could be divided into several servings.
For those dishes that required a longer cooking time, he could also use both hands at the same time, without wasting a second.
In this busy atmosphere, he even had time to observe other people's dishes and give some guidance and suggestions.
"Congratulations on completing five partial lessons, Advanced Cooking Proficiency +1, current proficiency: Advanced Cooking 986/10000"
At this time, the cheat also showed its existence, recognizing Wang Hao's guidance to everyone as teaching, adding new bricks to Wang Hao's proficiency cause.
And after Wang Hao's casual guidance, the chefs suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, as if they had been enlightened, and they could all infer other things from the key points Wang Hao pointed out, which made these knowledge points deeply imprinted in their minds.
Faced with this situation, the chefs did not feel abnormal, but instead sighed that the chef's vision was decisive and sharp.
After Wang Hao's guidance, these dishes were at least two levels higher. The chefs thought to themselves, maybe they would have to shamelessly ask the chef for advice in the future.
"Hey, aren't these precooked meals? We just ordered them not long ago and they're already done. I seriously suspect..." This male customer, who looked a bit domineering, was attracted by the tempting aroma and mouth-watering colors of the dishes before he could finish his words, and he swallowed the words of suspicion back.
Just kidding, it was the first time he had seen a dish that tasted delicious before he even ate it. If this was a precooked meal, he would rather eat precooked meals every day.
As the dishes were served one by one, the entire restaurant began to be filled with an intoxicating aroma of food. This aroma attracted passersby, who tasted the snacks and joined the queue.
The pervasive aroma of food also made the customers who had ordered food but had not yet been served, and those who were queuing and had not even ordered food, began to feel anxious.
The waiting people were okay. They had snacks to fill their mouths, and the complaints were still under control.
But those who saw the neighboring table already enjoying the delicious food, but were still staring at the empty table, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and complaints rose one after another.
Then this sense of loss was slowly filled by Wang Hao's extreme speed. The entire restaurant, which was still noisy before, became quiet, with only the involuntary exclamations and the sound of chewing food.
"Hey, you guys are done eating, right? Give us the spot, we haven't eaten yet!" In the queue, a few people couldn't help it. Without waiting for the waiter's notice, they directly targeted a table where the food had been eaten clean and went forward to discuss with the people.
"Who said we're done eating? The dishes we ordered haven't come up yet!" The two men, with a look of aftertaste, replied with a smile, without any sign of impatience.
After all, in their opinion, this delicious food made them feel that "the world is so beautiful, they can't be irritable."
"What? You ordered again?" Looking at the four plates on the table that had been eaten clean by the two, the questioning man couldn't help but think, how big are your stomachs! You're still ordering, aren't you afraid of being full!
But there was no way, so he had to go back to the waiting position in disappointment, sighing, it's really a case of some being flooded to death, while others don't even feel flooded.
