Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

Li Liang was extremely satisfied with the meal, patting his full stomach and letting out a satisfied burp.

After Li Liang finished eating and got up, Shi Ying came to the side and said, "Hello, take care. If you enjoyed the food, please come again next time."

As they spoke, they began to prepare to clear the table.

Li Liang's eyes darted around as he said, "Little sister, I have a suggestion."

Shi Ying stopped what she was doing, blinked, and then said, "Please go ahead."

"If I order tomato and egg noodles and fried rice, I can't possibly eat them at the same time. Could you bring me one bowl first, and then bring me the other one after I finish eating, so I can digest it a bit?"

"Otherwise, if you serve both bowls at the same time, and the store has the air conditioning on now, the other bowl might get cold before you finish the first one."

Shi Ying showed no discomfort with Li Liang's suggestion. Instead, she nodded and said earnestly, "Thank you for your suggestion."

I've rarely encountered this kind of situation, and I've never even considered it.

For Shi Ying, these are all things she will have to experience in the future, and the sooner she experiences them, the better.

The store closes in the afternoon.

Zhou Wen noticed that Shi Ying was in a particularly good mood for some reason.

Zhou Wen, the boss, joked, "You're in such a good mood today, did you find some money?"

After swallowing the noodles in her mouth, Shi Ying shook her head.

"A customer gave me some suggestions today that I hadn't considered before."

Zhou Wen was taken aback when he heard Shi Ying's answer; he hadn't expected the girl to be happy about this.

The fact that the customer gave feedback means that Shi Ying did something wrong. And someone as attentive and dedicated to service as Shi Ying might feel down after hearing the feedback.

After all, even though I was so serious and attentive, there were still some areas where I didn't do things properly.

Zhou Wen felt somewhat fortunate that he had called Xiao Shi at the time.

As Shi Ying's cousin, Xiao Shi used to perform exceptionally well at the store.

Thinking about it, Zhou Wen also recalled some things from the past. At that time, the restaurant was gradually declining, and many of the employees had already found a way out and started to slack off at work.

Only Xiao Shi diligently stood guard until the very end.

If the restaurant business gets better and better in the future, we can ask Xiao Shi if she would like to come back to work there. The salary and benefits will naturally be higher than before.

……

Some are happy while others are sad, and the one who is sad is naturally the Ruyi Hotel.

Since Zhouji Restaurant introduced pork tripe and chicken soup, the sales of their own pork tripe and chicken soup have been affected, but not by much.

After all, Ruyi Restaurant has been around for so many years and is located in a prime location on Zhongshan Street. Over the years, it has accumulated a large number of diners and its reputation is unmatched by ordinary restaurants.

The worrying thing is that more and more diners are saying that their own pork tripe and chicken soup is not as good as Zhouji Restaurant's pork tripe and chicken soup.

Not only pork tripe and chicken soup, but also their homemade shredded pork with garlic sauce.

The couple is now quite anxious and doesn't know what to do.

Ma Xianling couldn't help but complain, "Our two restaurants are quite a distance apart, and we never did so many things before, but you just had to talk bad about other restaurants in the restaurant."

"You blame me? Wasn't I telling the truth? Didn't Zhouji Restaurant do those dirty things?" Liu Fengru was also unconvinced by her husband's accusations.

"Besides, if I don't say anything, who knows if someone else will speak up against us first? I'm doing this to strike first, Ma Xianling, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianling fell silent, too tired to continue the argument.

A few days ago, Zhou Wen came to the restaurant for a meal. Liu Fengru felt from the beginning that he had ill intentions, but he did not do anything out of line when he came to the restaurant.

I just came to try it out and learn from others in the same industry.

Unexpectedly, Zhouji Restaurant has also started making pork tripe and chicken soup these past few days.

Liu Fengru is now very annoyed. If she had known things would turn out this way, she would have stopped Zhou Wen from entering the store a few days ago no matter what.

Looking at her husband, Liu Fengru said anxiously, "If this continues, our shop will really have to close down."

Liu Fengru knew in her heart whether Zhou's Restaurant was good or bad, but seeing other restaurants getting better and better while her own restaurant was always stagnating, she felt a sense of panic.

Ma Xianling rubbed his forehead, clearly feeling a headache at the moment.

"What do you think we should do now?" Liu Fengru asked her husband.

Having gone through so much, Liu Fengru had long lost her former independent thinking.

"We'll hire a top chef and offer a discount," Ma Xianling said resolutely.

"Will it work?" Liu Fengru asked with some doubt.

Ma Xianling nodded and said, "My cooking doesn't taste as good as Zhou's Restaurant's. I don't believe that the chef I hired wouldn't be as good as Zhou's Restaurant."

Liu Fengru was still somewhat reluctant to hire a head chef, after all, they had been doing it this way for so many years, but there really wasn't a better option at the moment.

Ma Xianling instructed, "Let's not cause any more trouble now. Let's just focus on doing our own thing."

The couple who own the Ruyi Hotel are overwhelmed by recent events.

However, Zhouji Restaurant obviously doesn't have these problems.

……

Time flies, and it's already May. The weather in Fujian Province in May is unbearably hot, not to mention July and August.

It's been a week since the pork tripe and chicken soup was launched, and the restaurant hasn't introduced any new dishes during that time.

As for the reason, Zhou Wen wanted to slow down and think carefully about what kind of food to produce next.

Sales of cold noodles have been gradually increasing recently, especially around lunchtime.

and.

Shi Ying has been working at Zhou's Restaurant for a month now, and today is payday.

When Shi Ying arrived at the store in the morning and saw the red envelope, she was a little stunned. It wasn't until Zhou Wen reminded her that she realized today marked one month since she started working at Zhou's Restaurant.

By mid-May, it was also time for the store to pay its water and electricity bills.

If you think about it, time is running out.

Since reopening this month, the store's sales have increased from less than 100 yuan a day to over 1,000 yuan, although only for a few days.

The rest of the time it's around 700 or 800, but this is, after all, the first month after reopening.

Overall, Zhou Wen was quite satisfied.

After deducting various miscellaneous expenses, you might end up with several thousand yuan in your pocket.

"Check it out and see if there are any leftovers," Zhou Wen said, pointing to the red envelopes.

"The boss gave me an extra two hundred," Shi Ying said, pointing to the amount in the red envelope.
