The parking lot that occupies a huge area of land in the city center business district is packed to capacity, and luxury cars can be seen everywhere, so that teams of security guards are constantly patrolling, always on guard against those who take photos with reflectors.
Traffic jams were unavoidable at this time. When Lu Chuan drove in, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Qiao Qiao was very hungry. The girls gathered together and kept watching Chang Leju's comments, and they became even more hungry.
You might as well not look at it if you don’t want to, but you’ve spent so much money on such a meal, and it’s hard to avoid feeling anxious if you don’t look at it more. But let’s look…
The more I watched, the hungrier I became. Now I was thinking about the dish Qiao Qiao shared at noon. If I hadn't been sitting in someone else's car, I would have started drooling if I opened my mouth.
And amidst this rumbling stomach, Changleju finally arrived.
Until now, there are still people queuing up in the store - the sofas in the waiting area are full of people, obviously customers who haven't waited yet.
The girls also said goodbye to Qiao Qiao happily but with some trepidation.
If we don't say goodbye, I'm afraid we will have dinner together. Although their conditions are so good, although they are willing to take advantage of the car, they are not willing to take advantage of it.
Song Tan never expresses his opinions on Qiao Qiao's friends. Good or bad, what's the use of others' opinions? He only needs to like him. Now seeing Qiao Qiao follow him to find a seat and come back, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's a loss."
You don’t plan to get married…”
Otherwise, a man who is as warm as a central air conditioner will cause many conflicts in the daily relationship between lovers!
Qiao Qiao didn't know why, and just complained to Song Tan quietly with wide eyes: "Boss Chang's things are so expensive!"
As he followed Lu Chuan to the reserved box, he gestured: "He still sells rice soup so expensively! Fried rice costs hundreds! And our lettuce, a plate of cold salad costs 188 yuan!"
Qiao Qiao thought about the price at which her home was sold, and concluded at this moment: "He is such a profiteer!"
Boss Chang heard such words as soon as he opened the door and walked in. This is incredible!
He hurriedly explained: "I am not a profiteer! The main reason is that my cost is here! Look, for such a big place in the city center, I even hired dozens of security guards, waiters and a team of chefs!
"
Then he vented his bitterness: "Qiao Qiao, you don't know! It's not easy to live in the city! It costs a lot of money to clean up the garbage! Our commercial water and electricity are several times more expensive than those at home!"
"Also, look at the box reserved for you. Does it look good? Is it comfortable? It cost a lot of money to decorate it!"
Then he pulled Qiao Qiao and pointed out the window. The building opposite was also brightly lit, and it was low-key and luxurious: "Look, we have invited many high-quality tea masters over there! This late at night, the boss is drinking tea and discussing business.
, don’t they also have to be given high wages for working overtime?”
"Yes, really?"
This extravagant cost calculation succeeded in making Qiao Qiao, who had no entrepreneurial experience, become confused, as if it was natural for a dish to sell for two to three hundred.
but……
"188 is still so expensive! Is that a big pot of cold lettuce? How many big lettuces should I use?"
Qiao Qiao asked for details.
Boss Chang cleared his throat and stopped talking.
Lu Chuan moved his finger when ordering and quickly checked it.
At this moment, Boss Chang was complaining to Song Tan, seemingly true and false: "Look, our customers don't choose anything. We have good things at home, even if they are one or two, bring them to me in the car, and we will still calculate the price."
.”
This is a duck egg that still resents him.
"And that fish, haven't we covered a river beach now? There should be no shortage of fish. We can also put a water tank in our fresh-keeping truck, so we can catch thirty or fifty fish every day, isn't it easy?"
He said it was his, and Song Tan was smiling at the side, obviously like a scumbag - in short, he didn't promise anything.
Boss Chang sighed with resentment, and finally had to turn his resentment into reality: "Come on, come on, what else are you ordering? I'll show you all the signs in our store!"
"No." Qiao Qiao rejected him first: "We can't waste food. There are only three of us and we can't finish it!"
Song Tan, on the other hand, looked at the teahouse across the road curiously: "Are there so many people there at night?"
Boss Chang nodded: "What we do over there is a club model, which is more private. There are tea art demonstrations, and you can also have private gatherings and chats. Aren't we all paying attention to health these days? The younger ones don't like to go there at night.
It’s a lively occasion, so it’s nice to drink tea and talk quietly in this place.”
Of course, the tea has also been sold better, which is something Boss Chang deliberately kept secret. Now that the cash flow is abundant again, he has more confidence when he speaks.
"So, just drinking tea in our teahouse will make your stomach too light! When the fruits ripen in summer and autumn, give me more!"
Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry—Boss Chang was really trying to find every opportunity to do his business.
While I was talking, the cold salad I ordered at the beginning came out.
Qiao Qiao watched the waiters one after another and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, did you order a lot of dishes?"
Lu Chuan nodded: "Three cold dishes, four hot dishes, one dessert, one soup, and one staple food platter."
Is this too much?
The siblings watched him together.
Unexpectedly, Boss Chang asked: "Is it enough? If it's not enough, add more!" This is a flashy and extravagant catering style.
When the food was served, the two of them understood.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao pointed to a ball of cold bamboo shoots as big as a fist on the big white plate, her eyes full of disbelief: "Does this want 188?"
"Of course!" Boss Chang said without changing his expression: "My labor costs, my infrastructure and restaurant environment, and our exquisite cuisine are all cooked by Master Qian and his apprentice..."
He was talking endlessly, but Qiaoqiao had already clenched his fist to measure the size of the lettuce shreds, and finally came to the conclusion:
"Sister, one of our big lettuces can make three plates!"
But Lu Chuan laughed: "No wonder I saw that a single meal set costs three to four hundred, and a table of dishes can easily exceed two thousand. I thought it was just to attract customers at the beginning."
Now it seems that the most affordable ones in the whole store are those single-person and multi-person packages.
Generally speaking, the target customers of Changleju are not ordinary people at all.
On the other side of the lobby, the three girls sitting in the corner finally took a photo, edited it and posted it on WeChat Moments, then took a deep breath: "I'm starving to death!"
Now, all the late spring set meals are good, and the girls quickly poured down a bowl of rice soup according to the guide: "Take a sip of this quickly. I read that the reviews say that you must drink this first. It has a pure natural rice taste and is delicious!"
"The comments I read said that you should drink less in the early stage! Otherwise, it will occupy your stomach and you will regret it later when you eat!"
