Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

When the restaurant opened, there were indeed not many customers at the beginning. However, Han Qiyue’s promotion was a 30% discount on the first day.

"Why don't you go in and try it? It's 30% off, so it's a lot cheaper."

"Is the 30% discount fake? The price is raised and discounted again, but it's still the same."

"What's the big deal? Let's go in and take a look. Just tell us the price."

As more and more people gathered outside, some people who were not short of money decided to go in and give it a try.

After a few rounds, more than ten people actually went in.

Seeing the guests coming in, Boss Han was so nervous that he could hardly speak.

Han Qiyue stepped forward and said, "Comrade, what would you like to eat? We have local home-cooked dishes and Sichuan cuisine."

"There's nothing interesting about eating home-cooked meals all the time. How about something fresh?"

"What is Sichuan cuisine? I haven't tried it yet."

"Sichuan cuisine is quite spicy. Are you accustomed to it?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not afraid of spicy food, I'm just afraid of not being spicy!" the visitor said with a laugh.

"Girl, you don't look like a waitress in a restaurant. You look more like a college student."

When Han Laoda heard this, he was able to speak up and hurried forward to say, "You have a good eye. This is my eldest daughter, a college student from Beijing. She happened to be back these two days and happened to be in time for the opening of our family restaurant, so she came to help greet the guests."

"That's great. To be able to go to a university in Beijing, your grades must be very good!"

The guests became more interested and some began to ask about Boss Han.

Han Lao Da is the image of a simple country farmer, which looks quite different from Han Qiyue, the elegant and fashionable college student.

Boss Han talked to the guests about their children at home, and the topic continued.

Han Qiyue took the opportunity to recommend a few dishes to the guests, and then went to the kitchen to place the order.

With Boss Han here to chat, the guests are able to sit and wait patiently.

At around eleven o'clock, Ma Anmei and others also came.

Seven or eight people came in together, and instantly it seemed that there were a lot more customers in the restaurant.

Han Qiyue greeted a few people and recommended special dishes to them, without showing any sign of knowing them at all.

Then, Han Xiangyang and Han Siyang came with their classmates.

Boss Han was still telling the guests about his children with great interest. When he saw Han Xiangyang and Han Siyang come in, he smiled and introduced them: "These are the eldest and fourth children in our family. They are both college students. They are studying in our provincial capital."

"These two boys are not motivated. They are not as good as their sister in study..."

Han Qiyue felt too embarrassed to face anyone.

Why didn’t I realize before that Daddy is such a talkative person?

However, Dadi was willing to communicate with the guests and did not say a word to the headquarters, so Han Qiyue just let him do as he pleased.

People always have a herd mentality.

As more and more people went in, the onlookers began to get restless.

Especially when the aroma of food wafted from the restaurant, the onlookers felt their stomachs start to growl.

In this era when just a few drops of oil can spread the fragrance for miles, Sichuan cuisine with its spicy, fresh and fragrant flavors is definitely more attractive.

Soon, many more people came in.

When others were about to come in, they were surprised to find that the restaurant was already full of people.

Han Qiyue also found that the seats were full and there were still guests coming in.

She hurriedly asked her two brothers to set up the awning, put two small tables and stools under the awning, and invited the guests to sit down.

In order to prevent the guests from getting bored while waiting, Han Qiyue also prepared boiled water and melon seeds.

People at that time had never encountered such warm hospitality before, and for a moment, they were stunned.

Some people say that just for the warmth, they have to have a meal here.

At that moment, those who were not busy really sat under the arbour and started drinking water and eating melon seeds.

Grandma Han asked worriedly, "Qiyue, won't we lose money this way?"

There were discounts and free melon seeds. When Grandma Han thought about it, she felt it was a huge waste.

"Don't worry, grandma. We won't lose money. At most, we'll just make a little less money."

Han Qiyue has already calculated the costs, and as long as the discount is not less than 30%, there will be no loss.

"Besides, grandma, when we do business here, we are doing business with repeat customers, so we have to let them taste the sweetness first."

"In the future, if a regular customer comes to our store, we will give them a small cold dish or something. It doesn't cost too much, but it will make them feel good and they will come back again."

How many restaurants have had their business ruined by being too casual with their regular customers.

Many people who run restaurants think that customers are used to the food and will not change it easily.

But if there are other options, these regular customers who feel wronged will simply find another place.

Grandma Han was not an old lady who was conservative and she immediately understood what Han Qiyue meant.

"Grandma knows. I will also tell your aunt and your mother."

As soon as Han Qiyue heard it, she knew that the old lady could draw inferences from her example.

Han Qiyue comforted the old lady and continued to work.

The guests started to eat, and Boss Han finally stopped chatting with them. Only then did he remember that he was the owner of the restaurant and couldn't just ignore the business.

"Dad, you have to go out and greet people occasionally. Don't forget to tell them the approximate time. Otherwise, the guests will lose patience after waiting for too long."

The seven tables inside are already full, and there are three tables of guests waiting outside.

Han Qiyue urged Yang Chunzhi to serve the dishes quickly.

When running a catering business, especially a small business, the faster the turnover, the more money you can make.

Perhaps because the guests outside were sitting and waiting and could eat melon seeds and drink water for free, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

It actually attracted some more people to come over.

These people didn't come for the meal, but to get some water and some melon seeds.

Han Qiyue saw it, but just let them do what they wanted.

Anyway, I grow a lot of melon seeds and other things at home, so the stock here is enough before the melon seeds at home mature.

But Grandma Han was a particular person. Even though the family was very busy, when Wu Jiefang left in the afternoon, Grandma Han gave him a bag of food to eat on the road.

"Jiefang, come back when you are free. Grandma will make delicious food for you. I wanted to prepare more for you, but in this weather, I can't keep it. You can eat vegetables and cold noodles first, and meat sauce and steamed buns tomorrow. After you finish eating, you will reach Beijing City."

"I understand, grandma. I will miss you." Wu Jiefang hugged the old lady sincerely.

While hugging Grandma Han, Wu Jiefang secretly put fifty yuan into Grandma Han's pocket.

After seeing Wu Jiefang off, the whole family continued to be busy. Even Ma Anmei and a few others took the initiative to stay and help with some work within their ability.

There were really a lot of guests today. We were busy until after nine in the evening before we saw off the last table of guests.

After the whole day, everyone felt sore in their backs and waists, but they thought that since there were many customers today, they should make some money.

Grandma Han urged: "Qiyue, today we have a 30% discount. Are we making money or losing money?"

This is what the old lady is most worried about. She doesn't want to work hard all day and still lose money when she settles the bill at night.

"I definitely made money, but I don't know how much." Han Qiyue said with certainty.

The whole family didn't even have time to eat, and started calculating the profits first.

Han Qiyue checked all the accounts and quickly figured it out.

"After deducting the money spent on groceries, noodles and meat, I made a net profit of 109 yuan today." Han Qiyue said happily.

When she heard this number, Grandma Han was shocked.

I thought I would lose money today, but who knew I would make a profit.

"July, you're not lying, are you? With a 30% discount today, you can still make so much money?"

"Of course, grandma, why would I lie to you?"

"Wow, opening a restaurant, the income is really good."

"If there is no income, it would not be worth the hard work."

The old lady immediately began to calculate: "If we earn 100 yuan a day, that's 3,000 yuan a month. In just over three months, our family will become a millionaire."

Han Qiyue: "..."

If the old lady can’t become a millionaire today, she probably won’t be able to sleep next year!

It seems that I need to help my family more and make money faster.

"Grandma, we may not be able to make this much money every day in the future. After all, we opened today and have a discount, so there will definitely be a lot of people. After four or five days, the number of customers will definitely decrease. That's when we'll see the real customer flow."

"Even if I can only make 50 or 60 yuan a day, it's okay. We work hard in the village for a year to earn a few dollars."

Grandma Han didn't care and was obviously very satisfied with it.

"However, business is really good today. I didn't expect that there would be so many people." Yang Chunzhi said with a smile.

She always felt that her cooking skills were not that good, and she was worried about what would happen if she failed to run the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chunzhi made so much money on the first day, which gave her more confidence.

Han Qiyue glanced at Han Lao Da and said, "My dad is good at chatting with people, so he attracted a lot of customers!"

Boss Han touched his head embarrassedly.

He never thought about how more and more customers came as they chatted.

Moreover, the guests seemed to like hearing about the children.

"You don't look very smart usually, but you performed well today."

Grandma Han, who always praised her daughter-in-law and grandson, finally praised her son generously, which made the eldest son of Han feel proud.

My goodness, when has his mother ever praised herself?

"but……"

Just when Boss Han was thinking about whether to make a few words of thanks, he heard his mother say just two words.

He instantly felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next sentence was to deal with the person.

"Boss, today you have Qiyue, Xiangyang, Siyang and other kids to help you, so you can chat. But next time when you are alone, you can't chat."

Boss Han immediately lowered his head and played the cowardly role.

Yes, there are a lot of people today, so it’s not impossible for me to greet them myself, but what about another day?

"Mom, I get it!" Boss Han admitted his mistake obediently.

Han Qiyue immediately said, "Grandma, I'm thinking, we can hire another person. If we can find a suitable one recently, we will be too busy."

Han Qiyue has already seen from today that the restaurant business should be good in the future.

Today's guests had good reactions after eating the meal, and they all praised the delicious food.

After all, there is a reason why Sichuan cuisine has become popular all over the country in such a short period of time.

Although it is not easy to cook authentic Sichuan cuisine, in this era when people are not particularly demanding on taste, as long as it is delicious, it can attract a lot of people.

This is the reason why we choose Sichuan cuisine as our main dish.

Grandma Han was really exhausted after the day.

But when she heard that she had to hire someone, she felt a little reluctant.

"That will add another expense. It sounds like we made a lot of money today, but that doesn't include rent, utilities, etc., which all cost money."

Han Qiyue smiled and said, "Grandma, we have to look at the long term."

"From that perspective, it's not cost-effective!" Grandma Han muttered.

"Grandma, you can't exhaust yourself when doing business. What's the point of making money if your health breaks down?" Han Qiyue said firmly.

In my previous life, my family members ruined their health from working hard day after day. I can’t repeat the same mistake in this life.

The family members had originally planned to let their family members work harder and get through it, but after hearing what Han Qiyue said, they all fell silent.

Yes, my health is ruined and making money seems to have little meaning.

Han Xiangyang broke the silence and said, "I agree with what July said. If our business is this good in the next few days, we will hire someone."

Han Siyang also nodded in agreement.

In this way, the younger generations all agreed, and the elders also agreed.

"Now we are just hiring a handyman. In the future, we may have to hire a cook. That would be really expensive."

When Han Qiyue said he wanted to hire a cook, Boss Han asked, "You can cook, so why not open a restaurant? Why do you have to work so hard for others?"

It’s so profitable to open your own restaurant!

"Dad, not everyone can open a restaurant."

Money is one aspect. Currently, not many people have the first pot of gold in their hands, and the initial investment is insufficient.

Some people do not go there because the formalities are difficult to go through.

The Han family handled the procedures for the two shops at the same time. Han Qiyue had already contacted Secretary Zhao before. He is now in the province and is in charge of this area of ​​work.

Things that he is involved in will naturally be handled quickly.

Otherwise, it would take a long time to complete the procedures for the two shops at home.

However, Han Qiyue had no plans to say these words for the time being.

Fortunately, Boss Han just asked casually and didn't delve into it further.

Grandma Han thought for a moment and said, "Okay, how about we go back to the village and look for someone?"

Grandma Han has the same idea as many people, and thinks it is a good idea to use people she knows.

However, Han Qiyue did not think so.

The people in the village have similar relationships with each other, so the question is who to use.

Besides, many people in the village now work in luggage factories, soap factories and canning factories, and they probably don’t want to come out.

It’s better to find one directly in the provincial capital. It is not only convenient to use, but you don’t have to worry about accommodation.

"Grandma, in the future, even if we expand our business, we should try not to recruit workers from the village. After all, we are all from the same village, and it would be embarrassing to say something even if we did something wrong."
