Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

They stayed in an inn near the city gate in Hangzhou, so they could meet each other when Situ Jin arrived.

She arranged the twelve people in two rooms, with Kongqing and Shizhu each taking care of one room.

She asked the other guards to look after the twenty-five cars while she strolled down the street.

In the past life, the lights would have been on by now. Now, many merchants on the dim streets were about to close their stalls.

She looked around, saw nothing interesting and decided to go to the restaurant to see what the food was like.

She has a problem wherever she goes: she has to go to a restaurant to taste the food.

Zi Su and Fu Ling, who were following behind, looked at each other and followed in.

"You're following me here to get free food and drinks." Charlotte already knew that they were following her.

"Madam, the Master has told me not to leave your side."

Outside, the guards knew their limits. They called her Madam and Situ Jin Young Master.

"He is just being pretentious. I'm an adult now, and he's worrying about nothing." Xia Luo blamed Situ Jin for meddling in other people's business.

Her martial arts and wisdom are unmatched.

But Situ Jin was worried about her safety.

"It's better than anything else for you to get my father to the capital safely. I don't need you to worry about me."

"Waiter, is your boss here?" Charlotte ordered a large table of dishes.

Every dish tasted somewhat familiar.

"Yes. I'll go get the boss right away!"

"Who's looking for me?" A man lifted the curtain of the back hall and walked into the lobby.

"Ding Dafu?" Charlotte didn't expect that she had given Ding Dafu time to develop. But he opened a restaurant in Hangzhou.

"Boss, I'm sorry for neglecting you." Ding Dafu bowed and saluted.

The waiter was confused.

What's going on? Is this little girl their boss?

"Tell me, what progress have you made this year?"

"Boss, please go to the private room on the second floor for a detailed discussion." Ding Dafu invited Charlotte to the private room on the second floor and asked the chef to re-cook a few of the restaurant's signature dishes for Charlotte to taste.

Ding Dafu knew that Charlotte was an expert in the food world.

He is just like that. He would rather suffer himself than trouble others.

"Where did you invite this great chef from?" Charlotte took a bite of the braised pork.

"They are all invited from Jiangnan. The price is cheap. How do the dishes taste?"

"When did your restaurant open?" Charlotte didn't say how the food tasted, so she continued to ask him.

"It's only been open for more than half a month."

"How's the profit?" That means your vegetables can still be sold.

"Not very optimistic." Ding Dafu lowered his head and looked depressed.

"How many restaurants do you open?" Charlotte continued to ask.

"Three. None of them are very good." Ding Dafu's voice became lower and lower as he was questioned by Charlotte.

"Do you know why you made money running a cloth shop but couldn't make money running a restaurant?" Charlotte developed his brain little by little.

"Please let me know, Boss!"

"You have been involved in the fabric industry since you were a child, and you know all the processes of fabric making like the back of your hand. People think you are professional, so they recognize you. You are also honest. After doing this for a long time, you will naturally have more regular customers."

"If you run a restaurant now, first, you don't understand the taste of the food. Second, you hire southern chefs who know nothing about the tastes of diners in the Central Plains. It's like northerners are not used to eating southern food."

"Third, all three restaurants have the same dishes, which disperses the flow of diners. It doesn't matter which restaurant you go to, the food is the same. Fourth, you didn't hold any grand opening promotions for the opening of any of your three restaurants. Why should people eat a meal they don't like? Am I right?"

"Boss, I've learned your lesson. I'll make these changes tomorrow." Ding Dafu's head was full of sweat. He felt ashamed. He had failed Charlotte's expectations of him.

"Every failure is a learning experience. Tomorrow I'll have Xia Yunyuan come over to help you run the business. I guarantee you'll recover your investment in a month. But you need to use your brain more. When I'm not around, you need to communicate more often and don't just work on your own."

"Thank you, Boss. Every time I encountered difficulties, you helped me out. You have given me a new life."

"Okay. I'll write to Liang Sheng tonight and ask him to transfer three shopkeepers and three chefs to you. We'll reopen the day after tomorrow. All three stores will open together."

In the evening, Charlotte wrote a letter to Liang Sheng and asked Falcon to deliver it to him.

Falcon completed the task in just one hour, and she also received a reply from Liang Sheng.

The letter said that Mr. Liang would personally bring them to Hangzhou tomorrow night.

The next day, Xia Luo asked Xia Yunyuan to help Ding Dafu run the restaurant's opening promotion.

Ding Dafu never thought that this restaurant could be run like this.

He first closed the restaurant for a day on the grounds that it needed to be rectified.

The owners and chefs of the three restaurants were fired.

The masters are confused. They were doing a good job, but they fired them just like that.

I can't help feeling dissatisfied.

After all, they were all introduced by relatives.

It would be embarrassing to go back.

Ask the employer why they were fired.

The boss said that the big boss was here for inspection and asked everyone to go home.

So they were curious about who this big boss was and why Ding Dafu listened to him.

In the evening, Liang Sheng arrived with three shopkeepers and three chefs.

Without resting, they went to three restaurants respectively to plan the grand opening promotion activities for tomorrow.

Charlotte's father also wanted to come over to watch the fun. Charlotte asked the guards to accompany him and come over to help.

After being busy until 5 p.m., Charlotte told everyone to go back and rest. The store will open on time at 7 p.m. tomorrow.

The next day, they got up early. Charlotte's father also wanted to go to the opening ceremony with them.

Charlotte saw that the guards all wanted to watch the fun, so they went together.

Kong Qing and Shi Zhu were left at home to look after the goods and the twelve people.

Naga and Xia Yunyuan also went to the restaurant together.

At the entrance of the restaurant, there was a sign written on a big red paper saying grand opening sale.

Charlotte prepared all the seasonings, vegetables, pickled cabbage, and hot pot seasoning the night before. She also prepared a few buckets of milk tea brought back from the Western Regions. This is free to taste.

During the first three days of opening, anyone who spends two taels of silver can enjoy a free glass of kumis.

If you spend five taels of silver or more, you can enjoy a free glass of kumis and all dishes will be discounted by 20%.

If you spend more than ten taels of silver, you can enjoy a free glass of kumis and a 30% discount on all dishes.

If you spend more than 20 taels of silver, you can enjoy a free glass of kumis and a 40% discount.

And so on.

For those who spend more than 50 taels of silver, there is a 50% discount all year round. There is no limit on the number of cups of mare's milk you can taste.

Moreover, Charlotte invited Naga to help make kumis, and asked Ding Dafu to find a smart and capable young man to learn how to make kumis from her.

Sign a five-year contract with the young man. He is not allowed to make kumis privately within five years. If he is found, he will be required to pay a compensation of three hundred taels of silver.

On the opening day, diners were curious about what kumis was?

Once you drink it, you can't stop. You want to drink more.

Among the three restaurants, one serves hometown cuisine and is named "Dingji Hometown Cuisine".

One restaurant is hot pot and dry pot. It is named "Dingji Hot Pot".

One of them is a restaurant specializing in making cakes. It is named "Western Region Flying Cake City".

On the opening day, the turnover recovered the entire restaurant's investment.

Ding Dafu admired Charlotte's wisdom and courage. He was deeply impressed. This was something he could never have imagined in his dreams.

On the second day of opening, the turnover doubled again, because the first day's diners spread the word, and everyone said that the food in these restaurants was the best in the world.

On the third day, Situ Jin came back.
