Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "We'll have to wait a few more days."

The diner nodded: "I see."

The diners also showed happy expressions.

This is definitely good news for me.

I need to go to work every day, and the distance to the restaurant takes some time.

Even on such a hot day, you'll be covered in sweat walking over here.

The round trip alone takes up a lot of time. If there were delivery services, I could save that time and get some rest.

"I should be able to take this card with me, right?"

"sure."

These small cards are placed on the table in case diners forget the restaurant's phone number, so they are specially prepared.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day before the restaurant was officially scheduled to begin delivery.

The delivery time is also somewhat different from the actual opening time of the restaurant.

The call to make a reservation was forty minutes before the restaurant officially opened, but delivery would stop half an hour before the restaurant closed for the day.

In the evening, the delivery time is also 40 minutes, but it stops much earlier than at noon. Delivery is no longer supported after 8 pm, since some roads are not lit up at that time.

Safety should be the top priority.

The day before the delivery was made to the restaurant, several phone calls had already been received.

They all got the time wrong, mistakenly thinking that delivery started today.

If things go smoothly today, the restaurant will officially start offering delivery tomorrow.

To be honest, Zhou Wen was a little nervous, mainly because of Shan Wei.

If it were Shi Ying or Shi Ling, Zhou Wen would probably feel much more at ease.

They were also worried that something might happen to Shan Wei on the way.

……

the next day.

When the restaurant was ready to accept orders, Zhou Wen quickly made his first phone call.

Zhou Wen also held the phone between his shoulder and his arm while writing down the food orders placed by the diners.

Since it's still early, when customers call, they're just letting the other person know and checking if delivery is possible.

Zhou Wen also bought some sticky notes in case Shan Wei couldn't remember them and might get confused when there were many deliveries.

After the restaurant officially opened, Zhou Wen began processing the orders that had been placed in advance for delivery.

Within twenty minutes, Zhou Wen prepared the food and handed it to Ren Xuan to pack up. Finally, Shan Wei took the food away and put it in the box that was tied to the electric scooter.

Zhou Wen also came out with them, as there were some things that needed to be explained properly.

"Is everything all put away?" Zhou Wen asked.

Dan Wei nodded, opened the box, and said, "Boss, do you think there's anything wrong with leaving it like this?"

Zhou Wen glanced at it and saw that everything was indeed neatly arranged.

"Be careful on the road, drive slowly, and remember to call if anything happens," Zhou Wen said with a serious expression.

"Okay." Shan Wei nodded and then put on his helmet.

As Zhou Wen watched Shan Wei walk away, he still felt somewhat worried.

But worrying is obviously useless; all we can do is wait for Shan Wei to return.

About ten minutes later, Shan Wei returned to the restaurant.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Zhou Wen asked.

Dan Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, saying, "No, the food has been safely handed over to the guests."

Zhou Wen nodded, relieved that nothing had gone wrong.

"Take a break and have a drink of water. You might have to make another trip in a few minutes."

"it is good."

After each delivery, Shan Wei would usually get a few minutes to rest before heading to the next area.

Soon it was noon, the last trip of the day, and Zhou Wen asked Shan Wei to make an extra trip to the location.

"On my way back, I'll pass by an internet cafe and pop in to hand out a small business card to the people using the internet."

"That internet cafe is at the intersection up ahead, I think it's called something like 'Internet Cafe No. 6'."

Dan Wei nodded and then said, "Boss, is there anything else we need to say?"

Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "No need. Don't disturb other people's time. Just put the card next to you where it's conspicuous enough."

If you disturb someone's time while they're online, they might get angry and throw away the store's promotional cards.

Following Zhou Wen's instructions, Shan Wei returned to the internet cafe, which was a few hundred meters away from the restaurant.

After getting out of the car and parking it, we went inside the internet cafe.

Take out the pre-prepared small cards from your pocket, and then give one card to each person without disturbing anyone; simply place the cards on the table.

Those who were playing games glanced at it briefly, then looked away and continued playing.

After handing out the cards, Shan Wei left the internet cafe.

Some people who had finished playing the game also picked up the cards and started looking at them.

I had noticed Shan Wei earlier, but I only glanced at him briefly.

I initially thought it was someone from an internet cafe, but after looking at the card, I realized it wasn't.

Some people glanced at the card and then shook their heads slightly.

They either throw the card directly into the trash can, or they toss it casually onto the table.

A small number of people, however, took it seriously.

Although I read it carefully, I shook my head after reading it.

Well, it's 07 now, and a bowl of instant noodles only costs about three yuan. Adding a braised egg and sausage might bring it down to about five yuan.

They were enjoying their meal immensely, but the price of this bowl of rice was indeed a bit high; compared to other dishes, it was completely not worth it.

However, the internet cafe Zhou Wen chose was one that was relatively close to the restaurant, only a few hundred meters away from Zhongshan Street.

In recent days, Zhouji Restaurant has become famous on Zhongshan Street. Some of the netizens in the internet cafe have actually eaten at Zhouji Restaurant, or at least heard of it.

So, some people shared it with their companions.

"This week's restaurant has started offering delivery!"

However, his friend, who was playing a game, only gave a vague reply.

Because I was thinking about sharing, I stopped playing the game and started watching my friend's screen, waiting for them to finish.

Since I know that Zhouji Restaurant has also temporarily stopped playing the game, I plan to give it a proper recommendation later.

After his friend finished playing, the other person couldn't wait to say, "Zhou's Restaurant now offers delivery, want to try it?"

The man leaned closer and asked, "Zhou's Restaurant? The one you've been talking about?"

"You also have a small card over there, you can take a look."

"The price seems a bit expensive," the man said after looking at the price.
