After coming out of Cuibao Pavilion, Fan Youling, who felt unhappy, was no longer so active.
It was time for lunch, and Shiweitian was nearby, so Shen Wan invited Wu and Fan Youling to have a meal with Shiweitian.
As soon as it was time to eat, Shiweitian was already full. Guests were chatting while waiting for the dishes, or enjoying the food by changing glasses. It seemed that Shiweitian was extremely lively and the business was booming.
There is a private room reserved in the building specifically for the host's friends or family to have a meal. Waiters in uniforms lead several people up to the private room.
Shen Wan asked Wu and Fan Youling what their taboos were, and they both said they had none, so she asked the waiter to notify the chef and watched as they prepared a table of delicious dishes.
Not long after the waiter left, he pushed us into the private room and served jasmine tea, a plate of cold braised dried tofu, a plate of cold shredded chicken, and a plate of cucumbers. The portions were all very small.
Fan Youling also knew that this restaurant belonged to Shen Wan. Seeing how little the cold dishes were, he asked, "Is the portion of the cold dishes so small?"
Looking at the decoration of the restaurant and the clothes of the guests who came in to eat, I knew that the food in this restaurant was not cheap.
The portion of the cold dish is so small. The county boss is really taking the people of Jiangzhou City as a scapegoat! The waiter who was pouring tea was afraid that the guests would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "This is a free cold dish before the meal. There is no charge." .”
"Yeah?"
Fan Youling smiled coquettishly. He originally thought that this cold dish was for money, but he didn't expect that it was given as a gift, but it was definitely not very delicious.
Mrs. Wu was a little hungry, so she picked up some shredded chicken and put it into her mouth. Suddenly her eyes lit up. She looked at Shen Wan and asked, "Why do you just give me such a delicious cold dish?"
Shen Wan said: "I am a food lover, so everything is delicious.
Cooking takes time, and the waiting time is the most long-lasting.
If you wait when you are hungry, you will feel restless and impatient.
Presenting three pre-dinner appetizers for guests to eat while waiting will naturally ease their mood while waiting.”
The waiter who finished pouring the tea added, "And many of the guests come here for the cold dishes we offer as gifts!"
Other restaurants don’t have free cold dishes, but Shiweiweitian does. Some of them ate the free cold dishes and felt that they were taking advantage! Although the prices of their food are not cheap, customers are more willing to come to them. Food is heaven.
The complimentary cold dishes are not only sold, but three kinds of cold dishes are changed every five days. Some customers will come to eat for several days in a row because the cold dishes they change are their favorites.
Mrs. Wu understood it herself and said, "Although you gave away dishes for free, it seemed like you were suffering a loss, but the cold dishes you gave away gave the guests a better dining experience. Not only did they retain the guests' hearts, but they also relied on this The complimentary cold dishes attracted more new customers.”
"That's right."
Shen Wan nodded, "And the complimentary cold dishes are usually one meat and two vegetables. Although they taste good, the cost is not high. You can make money by ordering just one dish."
Wu put down her chopsticks and said, "When it comes to doing business, I only obey you."
Sometimes when doing business, although every penny must be clearly remembered, sometimes there is no need to worry about it. A small sacrifice will actually make people gain more.
Fan Yuelan curled her lips, picked up her chopsticks and tasted the cold dishes. They were indeed delicious, especially the cold shredded chicken. She had never eaten shredded chicken like this! It was sour, spicy, and very appetizing.
