"Little boss, I heard you've started a recipe voting on Weibo. Is that true?"
It was a little after five in the evening. Yuan Jue came with three old friends. Yuan Tiantian had met them a few times before. As soon as the four of them sat down, Yuan Jue asked Yuan Tiantian. The latter gave him a puzzled look and then nodded.
She didn't expect they'd heard about it.
"If netizens have the chance to vote, why can't we? Little boss, you can't just focus on the young and ignore us!"
Yuan Jue and his friends didn't use Weibo or WeChat. Naturally, they didn't know Yuan Tiantian had set up an official Weibo account for Sweet Food Store. It was his son who mentioned it last night. His son had eaten here once before and had been craving it ever since. But since he worked in another city and rarely came back, he didn't get to visit often.
However, after that first taste, he came back more frequently, and every time he did, he would definitely come here to eat.
If it weren't for something he had to do tonight, Yuan Jue's son would have come along too. He'd been quite annoyed about it.
"Grandpas, you can also leave a message under the daily menu collection or give a like to the dishes you like!"
Yuan Tiantian explained with a wry smile. She didn't expect to have upset these old gentlemen. But after she said this, the four of them looked at her as if she knew nothing.
"We don't use these things, little boss. You need to take us old folks into consideration!"
"Yes, yes. There are quite a few other old folks around us who also want to participate!"
Yuan Tiantian: "......"
Although she really wanted to give them an offline chance, Yuan Tiantian also found it quite inconvenient. In the end, she sat down and carefully explained the situation to them.
Hearing that it was inconvenient, the four of them disappointedly gave up the idea. Seeing this, Yuan Tiantian still came up with a great idea. They could participate in the daily menu collection and also increase communication with their children. That was to directly tell their sons or daughters what they wanted, and let the children participate on Weibo.
"Hey, that's a good idea!"
"It's really good. I'm lucky if I get a call from my son once a month. This way, I can talk to him every day. This is great, great!"
......
After Yuan Tiantian gave her suggestion, she stood up. The four of them started to talk about how the younger generation didn't come back often. She then left for the kitchen. More people would soon come for dinner. This busy period would last for at least an hour. By the time Yuan Tiantian got a little break, it was already half past six.
Yuan Tiantian picked up a glass of lemon water on the table and gulped down more than half of it. There were beads of sweat on her cheeks.
"Didn't you turn on the air - conditioner?"
Sheng Jing saw this and silently handed Yuan Tiantian a wet wipe. Yuan Tiantian shook her head.
"It would be a bit cold if I turn on the air - conditioner on a day like this."
She had the windows open. The cool autumn wind from outside was quite chilly. She'd sweated because she'd been in a hurry while cooking. It would be better if she took it slower.
"Don't worry. I'm fine."
Seeing Sheng Jing's concerned look, Yuan Tiantian quickly said. Sheng Jing saw that she seemed okay and didn't say anything more.
Then, around seven o'clock, another group of people came. They were all strangers.
There were five of them in total, three men and two women. They were dressed very appropriately in formal clothes and looked quite imposing. After Sheng Jing showed them to their seats, they were surprised when they saw the menu.
"Only these few dishes?"
Sheng Jing nodded and briefly explained. The five of them nodded. Some of them looked a bit unhappy on their faces, but probably because of their upbringing, they didn't say anything unpleasant.
These five people had come to City H to look at an investment project. They passed by here in the evening and were attracted by the signboard of Sweet Food Store.
They didn't expect there to be only a few dishes in this store. But since they were already here and these people were quite concerned about their face, they simply ordered all the dishes once and two servings of staple food.
After Sheng Jing left, a man started to complain in a low voice.
"I told you. If we drove for another two hours and went to the next city to eat Japanese food, wouldn't it be better?"
The others didn't say anything when they heard his complaint, but their expressions changed from the expectation they'd had when they first saw the store's signboard to a more indifferent one.
However, these five people still went through the process of being slapped in the face by Sweet Food Store. After the food was served, they smelled the strong aroma of the dishes. After taking a bite, they all fell in love with the food. Especially the man who had just complained, he didn't stop using his chopsticks.
"Isn't it better than Japanese food?"
A woman gave him a sidelong glance. The man had a thick skin. He didn't blush at all. Instead, he let out a big laugh.
"It's better, much better!"
It was indeed better than Japanese food. Not to mention Japanese food, even the food in a five - star hotel couldn't compare to these few dishes. They seemed simple, but they brought out the best flavor of the ingredients. In less than ten minutes, they'd finished all the dishes, leaving only a little staple food.
"I'm still hungry!"
Someone said. Then they called Sheng Jing over and ordered another set of all the dishes. They even added two more servings of chicken with taro.
This time, they were finally full. Looking at the empty plates in front of them, suddenly one person laughed, and the other four also burst out laughing. Looking at the empty plates, they all had the same thought. They felt like they hadn't eaten for eight hundred years.
"Waiter, can we get take - out here?"
A woman really liked the chicken with taro today and wanted to take it away. Sheng Jing came over and explained. Hearing that they didn't offer take - out, she was very disappointed. Since they didn't have any containers either, they had to give up the idea.
After this group of people left, more people came one after another, but they came in twos and threes. It wasn't until half past nine in the evening that the number of diners finally decreased.
"Close the store."
Yuan Tiantian said. Bai Ying then closed the store door.
The group went upstairs. Xiao Jiu and Ling were already playing crazily on the bunk bed. Looking at the messy bedding, Yuan Tiantian couldn't help but smile.
She'd just finished calculating today's accounts in bed at night when Si Mo appeared.
"Congratulations, host. Your revenue has reached 38,888. You're rewarded with three spins on the system roulette, which are rewards for reaching revenues of 18,888, 28,888, and 38,888 respectively."
Huh? 38,888? That couldn't be right. Yuan Tiantian had just calculated the accounts, and it was only a little over ten thousand.
"Host, you didn't include the income from selling the vegetables from the back mountain."
Ah, right. This was also part of Sweet Food Store. Hearing what Si Mo said, Yuan Tiantian got excited. In just two days, they'd sold nearly 30,000 yuan worth of vegetables? That was amazing!
Although she hadn't received the detailed income report from Lu Yong yet, with Si Mo "spoiling" the result, she more or less knew. However, it was a bit disappointing to think that the vegetables were making more money than the food in the store every day.
Actually, it was mainly because the vegetables were positioned at a high - end level and had a high price. Unlike the food in the store, Yuan Tiantian had set the prices at a more moderate level.
So there was a big difference. Of course, the number of customers also played a role.
"They're all little piles of money~"
