Chapter 14: The hot pot restaurant officially opens

Chapter 14 The hot pot restaurant officially opens

After seeing this line of words, Zhao Yingluo was ecstatic, which meant that from now on, she would have her own shop. She seemed to see countless gold and silver treasures running towards her one by one.

While she was happy, she also felt heartbroken for the old general. Although the prices of shops in Kaifeng City had dropped by half since the Jingkang Incident, this three-story building was still worth tens of really spent a lot of money to buy this small building for himself.

Thinking of this, she decided to pay back the money she owed Zongze and Lu Haowen immediately after making money.

"Thank you, old general, for fulfilling everything!"

"Your seeds have brought hope to countless people in the Song Dynasty. I should thank you. Go and see your shop. I also want to discuss the matter of the Supreme Emperor with Mr. Lu."

Zongze's words were exactly what she wanted, so she didn't even bother to eat breakfast before calling Chuntao and Luluo out of the house.

After arriving at the shop in a familiar way, the owner had just opened the door, followed by many strong young people and several carriages, who seemed to be packing things.

When the shop owner saw her, he hurriedly came up to talk to her, "I was mistaken. It turns out that this young lady is an acquaintance of General Zong. I should have treated her well if I had known."

"You're welcome, owner, where are you moving to now?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Let's go to Lin'an. Although Kaifeng City has ushered in a rare peace, who knows how many years this peace will last? If there is another war, Kaifeng City will be in disaster."

"What if Kaifeng City won't have another disaster like last year?"

"This little lady, I'm afraid you have never seen the ruthlessness of the Jin people. They are even worse than the Liao people. Although the Song Dynasty today has the pillars of the country like General Zong, there are people like General Zong in the court. How many people are like this? Sooner or later, the city of Kaifeng will be owned by the Jin people, and it is important for us and other common people to save their lives."

After Zhao Yingluo heard this, she didn't argue with him. Most ordinary people thought so. Those who had money to escape could not escape, and those who had no money and could not escape could only accept the judgment of fate.

After the old and new shopkeepers entered, the strong laborers immediately began to move the items.

"I'm about to travel south now. If you have any interest in these items in the store, just tell me and I'll keep them for you."

After Zhao Yingluo looked around, she found nothing that matched her decoration style, so she rejected the shop owner's offer. However, the dozen jars of wine in the wine storage area at the back aroused her interest.

Pair hot pot with wine, this is the best choice!The most important thing is that she feels that the wine here is mellow without irritating the stomach and has a unique fragrance.

"Shop owner, can you sell these dozen jars of wine to me?"

"Young lady knows the goods. These dozen jars of wine are all produced by famous brewers in Tokyo, including Fengle Lou's 'Mei Shou and He Zhi', He Le Lou's 'Qiongjiang', and Yu Xian Lou's 'Yu Ye'. If you want it, for the sake of General Zong, I will sell it to you at a [-]% discount."

When traveling south to Lin'an, these drinks are not suitable for long journeys. Since Zhao Yingluo is willing to ask for them, the shopkeeper is happy and relaxed.

After some calculations, Zhao Yingluo finally bought the dozen jars of wine for [-] yuan.

The owner evacuated very quickly. It only took half a day for the restaurant to be completely move of the restaurant also attracted crowds of diners.

"Why is this Taiping Restaurant closed? There are many customers every day."

"I heard that many officers and soldiers came last night. Could it be that the boss has done something?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If the boss commits a crime, can he still move happily?" "It's a pity... I just want to win and eat at their house."

……

After the shop owner finished moving the last items, he saw a lot of people gathered outside, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The Taiping Restaurant is about to move to Lin'an. Thanks to all of you for your support over the years, if we are destined to see you in Lin'an someday."

After being polite to the diners, the owner said hello to Zhao Yingluo and left.

After watching the shopkeeper leave, Zhao Yingluo took the heavy key, looked at the empty restaurant, turned to the diners who had not dispersed and said.

"Everyone, in ten days, the 'Drunk Furong' hot pot will be opened. I guarantee that you will experience a completely different hot pot flavor. You are welcome to come and taste it. You can make a reservation here tomorrow. The first ten guests are free of charge, and the first one hundred guests are free of charge. Half price.”

When a new store opens, the best way to turn losses into profits as quickly as possible is to quickly acquire customers. These old customers are treasures. As long as you keep these old customers, you won't have to worry about word of mouth spreading.

After arranging all this, Zhao Yingluo and the others immediately returned home. After lunch, they greeted the newly recruited shopkeeper Zhao Jinlai, the six newly trained chefs and the 28 waiters, as well as the dining tables, dining chairs and other decoration materials that had been ordered in advance. , together with the carpenters and masons, marched out of the house and went straight to the shop.

This battle is almost ready for the emperor's patrol.

High-profile?How can you get popularity without being high-profile?

Her customer acquisition tactic really worked.

Early the next morning, people queued up before dawn. By three o'clock in the morning, the queue stretched from one end of the street to the other. Experienced diners also brought their own small stools and waited patiently.

In order to avoid causing chaos, Zhao Yingluo had to ask the housekeeper Zhou Wang to mobilize more than a dozen servants in the house to help maintain order in the queue.

It only took an hour for the first ten free places and the first one hundred half-price places to be registered. Those who had not been registered were disappointed when they saw that they had not grabbed a place.

Just when they were about to disperse, Zhao Yingluo called them back again, "As long as you register as a member of our store today, you will get a [-]% discount on every meal in the future. After today, you will no longer have this discount."

With these words, she successfully recruited nearly two hundred members.

Ten days later, on the first day of September, the "Drunk Furong" officially opened. After the renovation, the three floors were completely new inside and out, and even the paint was repainted.

The moment special guests Zong Ze and Zhao Yingluo pulled off the red cloth together, a foot-long firecracker was lit, and the crackling sound continued, announcing the official opening of "Drunk Furong".

After the opening ceremony, Zong Ze, Lu Haowen, Li Gang and others came to the most luxurious private room on the second floor.

The bottom of the pot is naturally spicy. As for the dipping sauce, it is also prepared based on her experience in later generations. Chili oil, minced garlic, sesame oil, coriander, etc. are all available.

While explaining, Zhao Yingluo helped Zongze prepare a bowl of dipping sauce that she thought was moderately spicy, and told him to pick up the cooked ingredients in the hot pot.

Zongze felt a little excited. He picked up a tender piece of mutton and dipped it in some dipping sauce. After putting it in his mouth, the aroma, spiciness, minced garlic and coriander exploded in his mouth.

The spicy taste made him feel like his soul was about to leave his body.
