In the next few days, Xue Poye took Lao Song to prepare for the opening of the restaurant. Large-scale purchases of various necessities were a top priority. In addition to the twenty smart brothers selected by Qinglianzhao who applied for jobs, Xue Poye More than a dozen new waiters were recruited in Poye. After all, the two restaurants add up to nine floors, and the service area cannot be short of people.
Every new employee must receive training from Lao Song. Of course, what Lao Song calls training are the rules and regulations that Xue Poye has already set.
"Remember, when working in the store, you have to wear a smiling face. Only a smiling face can make customers feel like they are in the spring breeze. In a restaurant, the customer is always right and there is never a mistake. No matter how wronged he is, he will never be wrong. You have to keep a smile on your face, and if you cry, wait until the guests leave and find a place where no one is around to cry. If you really can't solve the problem, you can come to me or even shopkeeper Xue to solve the problem. In the final analysis, you must never retaliate or hit someone ." Lao Song told every clerk Xue Poye's instructions word for word.
The guys are naturally obedient. They are very excited and satisfied to work in such a unique restaurant and get generous rewards.
"But I seldom smile, for fear that I won't be able to laugh." A waiter said with some embarrassment.
Xue Poye on the side heard this, smiled faintly, and said leisurely: "Then practice smiling in front of the lake before the opening, and smile until you are satisfied. If you can't have a small face when the opening..." Slowly, he smiled: "Then someone else will take your place."
The waiters in the two restaurants have uniform attire, blue robes and blue hats, which are consistent with the layout of the building. When hired, they will get two sets of brand-new clothes. Each waiter is more determined to work hard.
Although Qinglianzhao's brothers don't know Xue Poye's true identity, they also vaguely learned some information from their boss. The meaning above is very clear. You must obey Xue Poye's instructions in everything and you will not be able to dig holes. Fill the hole and let you be naked, so there can't be a trace of cloth on your body. For a very disciplined congregation, everyone will naturally understand the meaning deeply.
While the waiters were in place, chefs, fruit chefs and pastry chefs who spent a lot of money also arrived one after another. Xue Poye didn't care about the wages that were twice as high as those in other stores. This was the rigid standard of the restaurant, as long as these chefs worked hard and made the same food. The natural delicacies that match the restaurant's characteristics can be earned easily, so it is a happy cooperation for everyone.
In addition, each restaurant employs a very experienced third shopkeeper to assist Lao Song in handling daily affairs.
Xue Poye understands deeply that only by spending money can you make money. As the popular saying goes, if you are willing to give it up, you will get it if you can give it up!
It seems that they have forgotten that there is such a competitor, or out of deep-seated disdain, the Lu family disappeared without any action.
Xue Poye was already mentally prepared in his heart. If he just gave up, the Lu family would no longer be the Lu family, and Mrs. Fang would no longer be Mrs. Fang. That woman who was serious on the surface but lascivious on the outside would always have some conspiracy waiting for him. .
Xue Poye was very good.
August 20th was a good day. In addition to the two restaurants opening at the same time, the weather was also very cooperative. The breeze was blowing to resist the heat.
Surrounded by countless people, the waiters from the two restaurants in matching suits stood respectfully on both sides of the gate. When the two gilded plaques with "Han Yuan" were hung on the door, gongs and drums shook the sky, and firecrackers blasted.
, the two most impressive restaurants on the edge of the West Lake opened at the same time.
The restaurant is decorated with red and green lanterns and colorful lanterns, making it look extremely festive. What is even more amazing is that under the word "Han Garden" on the plaque, there is a line of small gilded characters that reads "Inscribed by Han Mozhuang". Han Mozhuang is the Hanlin Academy.
After retiring, Hangzhou literati knew its name well.
On the opening day, "Hanyuan" was offering a 50% discount for guests. Guests who had never known the internal environment of the restaurant entered Hanyuan in an orderly manner amidst the smiling faces of the staff.
Everyone will be amazed when they step into the restaurant.
The scenery is spring to the eye, with a very imaginative layout, green vegetation, tall green trees reaching the top, green vines intertwined among them, and sometimes there are rockeries that look like real ones where they should appear, and even a gurgling stream slowly flows through the mechanism.
flow.
Among the flowers and grass, tables carved out of rocks seemed to be hidden in a natural but very regular manner. What was even more amazing was that on the flowers and grass, there were occasionally butterflies dancing lightly and dragonflies circling.
When the guests touched it unnoticed, they realized that it was a model. It was made of thin threads strung among the flowers and grass. As long as there was a breeze, the butterflies and dragonflies would appear from the grass and dance there.
This is not a restaurant, but everything you look at is crisp and natural, and it is a completely natural landscape with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Everyone sincerely feels that their body and mind are relaxed and comfortable the moment they step into the restaurant. Drinking and having fun in such an environment is nothing more than a god.
In the midst of admiration, the two restaurants were full of guests, feeling this extraordinary and unique atmosphere. There was a word hanging on the rock counter of each restaurant.
"Spring in the West Lake Scenery Building!" The signature is also "Hanmozhuang".
This simple word suddenly adds a literary style to the beautiful landscape. This makes every guest not only feel the refreshing natural beauty, but also feel like bathing in the rippling literary style.
There were many people celebrating. After all, Xue Poye's reputation had already been established in Hangzhou. He saved Yuexuan from danger, saved Mrs. Wang from despair, and even won the civil and military championship at the Lu Mansion Night Banquet. Both familiar and unfamiliar people
Come and join us, both restaurants are very lively.
While Han Garden was filled with laughter and laughter, the Huiyuan Pavilion seemed quite deserted. However, at this time, the Lu family finally took action. On the big day, they even sent the fat butler Lu Fu to deliver a plaque.
Everyone is a little strange. The so-called colleagues are enemies, and the appearance of Hanyuan has had a major blow to Huiyuan Pavilion. To put it bluntly, the two sides are already enemies on the surface. Is it possible that the Fang family is really so open-minded?
, giving gifts so grandly to show your goodwill?
But more people just think that the Lu family's wealth is beyond Xue Poye's reach. Even if Huiyuan Pavilion's business is damaged, the Fang family's status in Hangzhou will not be affected in any way. The Lu family's gifts are nothing more than showing some Hangzhou
The demeanor of a merchant also reflects from the side that the Fang family does not care about the opening of Hanyuan.
However, this speculation will soon be denied.
The black gauze that Lao Song used to cover the plaque revealed a very exquisitely crafted plaque, with four large gilt characters shining brightly in the sun, and the words next to it read: "Like the sun rising to the sky."
Many people immediately frowned, and one person already said loudly: "I have only heard of the sun rising into the sky, but there is no such thing as the sun rising into the sky. Wrong, wrong, this is very unlucky." The guests around them nodded, obviously agreeing with this dear friend.
statement.
Lu Fu lazily said: "Did you write it wrong? Hey, Shopkeeper Xue, I'm sorry, but my wife specially ordered this to be made to congratulate Shopkeeper Xue on his successful opening. Now this plaque is here.
Naturally, there is no reason to take it back. If it is wrong, it is wrong. I wonder if Shopkeeper Xue dares to take it back?"
He spoke very arrogantly, and many people were very dissatisfied and disgusted with this slave who took advantage of others. However, the Lu family was powerful, and this time he was deliberately provocative. If shopkeeper Xue did not accept it, he would definitely offend the Lu family.
Yes, but everyone didn't know that this young shopkeeper had long been at odds with the Fang family, a wealthy family in Hangzhou, or at least had a falling out with their head, Mrs. Fang.
Lao Song was a little angry, but more uneasy, looking at the shopkeeper who was still smiling.
Xue Poye touched his nose and said leisurely: "Ascension to heaven? What an ascension to heaven. I thought the Lu family was deliberately trying to dismantle me, but Butler Lu's words made me understand that this was just a misunderstanding. It turned out to be just a typo.
Wow, haha, Jiangnan is full of literary talent, and Hangzhou is a gathering place for literati and poets. The dignified Lu family actually sent a plaque with the wrong words. If this spreads, it will really be a big joke, haha...!"
When he said this, everyone was startled and started laughing. Shopkeeper Xue was quite powerful. In the midst of his laughter, he made the Lu family laugh at him with just a few words.
Lu Fu blushed, glanced at everyone fiercely, and said coldly: "Then will you accept this plaque?"
"Take it!" Xue Poye immediately smiled and said, "Why don't you accept it? Mrs. Fang gave it to me as a gift. If I don't accept it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me?" As soon as he pouted, two waiters stepped forward and took the plaque.
Everyone sighed. It seemed that shopkeeper Xue was still afraid of the power of the Fang family, so he gave in.
Unexpectedly, while everyone was sighing, Xue Poye said coldly: "Smash this plaque for me!"
Everyone was extremely surprised and looked at Xue Poye. No one could have imagined that shopkeeper Xue was so brave. He even smashed the plaque sent by the Lu family in front of everyone. This was really courageous.
The other guys were still hesitating, but several Qinglianzhao brothers were very straightforward. As soon as Xue Poye finished speaking, the plaque was immediately thrown to the ground. Several people stepped forward and removed the delicate plaque.
The incomparable plaque was smashed to pieces. Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Lao Song showed a trace of fear. Lu Fu's face turned the color of pig liver, extremely gray.dd
