Chapter 271 Buying a Store
Five days in a row.
Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Dadan first went to see the spicy hot pot shops in Jiyun and Shibei City. Both were near the post station and were about 50 square meters in size.
During the rest of the time, I visited several shops in the town. They had storefronts of about 20 square meters and all had small courtyards. They were good in every aspect.
She didn't look at the rest. She believed in Lin Dadan's ability to do things, so she bought them all directly. Why were all these stores purchased instead of rented?
It was because she asked the system, since they were all her stores, why there was no display of loss-making stores. As a result, the system said that the stores were not hers, and only hers would display this information.
So she directly bought these ten small shops, spending a total of more than three thousand taels of silver, and the other two large shops cost more than four thousand taels of silver.
The money was spent too quickly like water, but fortunately the money for the construction of the park was paid in installments, which gave her a chance to breathe.
With this display, there is no need to check the accounts. All the information is clear at a glance.
After buying the store, I prepared to decorate it and recruit people for training.
For the decoration, she drew several pictures of different house sizes. The design was still based on the style of Nanshan City, and Lin Dadan found local people to be the construction team.
As for the employees, they are local people and only provide food but not accommodation.
She was very busy during the past five days. Actually, she didn't have much time to do anything, as it was all spent on the round trip driving, which made her back and buttocks sore.
After these things were confirmed, they immediately went to Nanshan City to open the Zhiwei Restaurant.
They set out early today, and when they arrived at Zhiwei, the door was not open. Lin Dadan parked the carriage in the stable at the back.
Perhaps the sound of the carriage stopping startled the people in the yard, and the door leading directly to the backyard in the stable was opened. It was Zhang Tong.
"I thought it was you guys who came, and it turned out to be you guys."
Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage with the help of Lan Jiu and greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, auntie. Thank you for your hard work in the store."
After she got off the carriage, she did not leave, so Lan Jiu could only stand aside. At this time, the curtain was opened again, and two little kids jumped out. Zhang Lianyu shouted excitedly when he saw his mother.
"Mom! Xiaoyu is here to see you."
Zhang Tong knew they would come yesterday. She hadn't seen her husband and children for almost a month and missed them terribly.
Lin Jiaojiao picked up the two little guys, and Zhang Lianyu ran over and threw himself into Zhang Tong's arms and acted coquettishly.
She smiled as she watched this heartwarming scene and was about to help Wu Yingchun down, but he swiftly jumped out of the car. What a kid.
Finally, Lin Yizhi got off the carriage with her help, and the group walked into the backyard. When they entered, the kitchen was already busy.
In the bamboo cages against the wall of the kitchen yard were the live chickens that had been caught yesterday, and against the opposite wall were ducks and rabbits, and there were a lot of them, making the yard very noisy.
The three male employees of the Malatang restaurant are preparing today's meals. The larger kitchen next door is also busy. Four men who have graduated from farm training are killing chickens, plucking the feathers, and marinating the meat.
Lin Jiaojiao took a look around and came out. The little ones were all standing by the bamboo cage looking at the rabbit inside.
She asked Zhang Tong next to her: "Where are the new waiters?"
"They are cleaning the store. I will go get them."
She immediately stopped him: "No need, I'll go up and take a look too."
The group entered the first floor of the restaurant from the door in the backyard. What caught their eyes were rockery and flowing water. The pool was already filled with water and red carp were put in it.
However, the store door was not open and the light was dim, so the group did not stop to take a closer look and went up to the second floor, where the view suddenly became brighter.
The first thing you see when you go up is a picture of a rockery and flowing water. The water flows down from the rockery like a waterfall, hitting the small windmill at the bottom, making a pleasant and crisp sound of flowing water.
There are also many red carps swimming in the water, which complement the plants planted on the rockery, forming a unique dynamic landscape painting.
"So beautiful."
"Come on, Xiaoyu, there are fish here."
The two little guys immediately ran to the pool to play, but fortunately they were all civilized and watched without playing in the water.
Four young women who were cleaning and inspecting on the second floor greeted them warmly when they came up, brought clean chairs for them to sit on, poured them some tea and melon seeds, and then continued to work busily.
Lin Jiaojiao was very satisfied when she saw these four pretty women with generous and decent behavior. These people were recruited by Zhang Tong, so she came to confirm and took a look.
At that time, she only had two requirements: good looks and high emotional intelligence.
Unexpectedly, she was actually recruited by Zhang Tong. Of course, her salary was also high, twice that of the Malatang employees below.
They mainly serve the customers upstairs, and also teach customers who order hotpot for the first time how to eat.
Zhang Tong is mainly in charge of the restaurant on the second floor. The first floor is operating normally and there is no need for her to be there all the time.
There are a total of ten tables for four people and ten tables for eight people upstairs, and the remaining four private rooms are simply named Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
The menu is also made into a booklet, with each dish on one page, with food images drawn on the top and the name of the dish written below, so that customers who order can see at a glance.
When the street started to get busy, Zhang Tong went downstairs and opened the doors of both shops.
The receptionist in charge of the first-floor gate immediately went down to stand guard to attract customers. This stop attracted quite a lot of people to watch, especially when they saw the high-end rockery and flowing water inside the entrance, they all suspected that this newly opened store must be very expensive.
Because it was not yet mealtime, many people looked downstairs for a while and then left. Some passers-by with some money in their hands asked the receptionist about the price. When they heard that it was similar to the usual restaurant prices and not sky-high, they became tempted and said they would definitely come and try it after they were done with their work. After all, the spicy hot pot next door tasted so good, so the taste of this restaurant must be good too.
Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Yizhizi did not sit in the private room. Instead, they sat at a table for four by the window, eating melon seeds and looking at the scene outside.
But what surprised Lin Jiaojiao was that the first customer arrived before ten o'clock.
The receptionist led three young women up, and then Zhang Tong immediately stepped forward to entertain them, which surprised the three women. They thought they were early, but they didn't expect that there were people who arrived earlier than them.
The three of them went to Qingzhou to study together. They passed by Nanshan and planned to have a bite to eat. Before they went into the city, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the door. They learned that it was a newly opened store and the prices were not expensive. They were also attracted by the scenery at the door, so the three of them decided to eat here.
As they passed by Lin Jiaojiao's table, Lin Jiaojiao nodded at them in a friendly manner.
They saw that the woman had an extraordinary demeanor and the two men at the table were also good-looking, so they wondered if they were from some wealthy family. They nodded in greeting and followed Zhang Tong to a table at the back.
