Since this place does not belong to the Ore Park Scenic Area, but is located on the mountainside of the Ore Park Scenic Area, the supporting facilities here are not complete.
Even the road is patched with gravel, and the store owner only filled the mud hole himself.
Therefore, the journey would be a bit bumpy, but fortunately the road was not too far. After looking at the lights, Gu Chen also drove cautiously on the mountain road, and finally saw a row of vehicles parked in an open space.
So Gu Chen followed suit and parked the vehicles side by side.
There is a light at the parking lot to illuminate the way for guests.
Not far away, there is an open flat land in front of the cave. Guardrails have been installed on the cliff, and this place has long been transformed into a camping ground.
Various colored lights flash here, and standing by the guardrail, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Ore Park in the distance.
Several fashionably dressed young women were taking photos and checking in in front of a blue street sign that read "The Wind I Miss You Blows to the Cave Restaurant".
"This place is so lively, there are so many people even so far away." Yuan Shasha couldn't help but said jokingly when she saw this scene.
He Junchao complained: "They are just following the trend. Don't look at the excitement now. After a while, this place has become cold. Every Internet celebrity store is like this."
"If you can keep the business going for a long time, it depends on your reputation and the taste of your dishes. Whether it's worth it for everyone to come all the way here."
"Is it worth it? You'll know after you eat it." Lu Weiwei is not someone who just depends on how others brag. The key is that Lu Weiwei is also famous for her mouth.
So everyone walked towards the cave restaurant.
The door of the cave restaurant is very spacious. Since the cave itself is large enough, the boss made a simple design at the door.
It not only retains the original style of the cave, but also carries out some romantic modifications.
There was melodious music playing inside, and under the dim lights, various lighting combinations directly filled the atmosphere.
Since the interior of the cave is large enough, it also appears spacious enough.
The huge space and various lighting embellishments make it look like a song and dance theater.
Since everyone came at the right time, all the restaurants were not full and there were still many empty seats.
In addition, there is a camping ground outside, and many people also like to dine outside. Therefore, although there are many customers in the entire restaurant, there is no need to queue up to wait for a seat.
"How many of you are there?" Seeing Gu Chen and others walking to the cashier, a young woman in fashionable clothes also asked casually.
"Uh, there are four of us." Lu Weiwei said quickly.
"Please wait a moment, okay, you can order." The young woman just operated the ordering system casually, and pictures of various dishes immediately appeared on a display screen opposite Lu Weiwei.
Afterwards, Lu Weiwei ordered some dishes and drinks based on everyone's general tastes. After finishing, she pressed the confirm button.
After a short while, the documents popped out of the machine.
The young woman tore off the side job and handed it to Lu Weiwei, then put the home page away and put it directly on the other side.
Then he extended his hand to Lu Weiwei and said, "Please find an empty seat and sit down. Dishes will be arranged for you right away."
"Okay." After completing the ordering process, Lu Weiwei immediately led everyone to find a seat against the wall and sit down.
Due to the stereo speakers here, equipment is installed in many locations, so listening to music is particularly comfortable throughout the cave.
It completely gives you the auditory enjoyment of being in a theater.
He Junchao rarely came to this kind of place, and he looked around curiously and said: "The decoration of this place is quite tasteful. It seems that the boss has quite a sense of style?"
"Is it possible to transform a cave into a restaurant without style? People should have bold ideas and then have the strength to realize them." Lu Weiwei said.
"If I have a few million in cash, I can open a business." He Junchao also said bluntly.
Lu Weiwei snorted and complained: "He Junchao, not any industry is suitable for you, just do your job well."
Just as Lu Weiwei was communicating with He Junchao, the two female guests standing next to them just got up and left.
After a while, a middle-aged man with long hair hurried over to pack his things.
Seeing Gu Chen and others, the man also adjusted his glasses. Out of curiosity, he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and walked directly to the crowd to ask:
"Are you from Furong Branch?"
"Uh..." He Junchao was stunned for a moment and asked out of curiosity: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before, especially you two."
After the words fell, the middle-aged man with long hair also pointed at Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen.
But after a moment, the man quickly added: "Oh, by the way, I saw you two on the poster over at my house. Yes, it's you two. You are Lu Weiwei and you are Gu Chen."
Seeing the middle-aged man with hair who seemed to recognize herself on the poster, Lu Weiwei felt happy, but she still pretended to be calm and said:
"That's okay, we are the ones on the poster every year."
"Hey, I always see your posters on the road. Today I can see you in person. Can I take a photo of you?"
The middle-aged man with long hair seems to be a fan of the two of them, which is very exciting.
Of course, Lu Weiwei would not refuse anyone who came, and quickly agreed: "Of course."
"Thank you." After the words fell, the middle-aged man with long hair immediately took out his mobile phone, then framed Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen into the camera of the mobile phone, and then made a scissor hand gesture towards the camera.
After taking one photo, I felt that the other two policemen should also take a photo. After all, although I didn’t know them, they were probably great people in the police force, and they needed to be equally exposed to rain and dew.
So the man moved forward a little further and continued to take pictures.
"Crack! Click!"
"Thank you." After taking pictures, the middle-aged man with long hair quickly thanked him.
"You're welcome." Lu Weiwei waved her hand and smiled.
The middle-aged man with long hair immediately said: "You can come to my restaurant to dine, and I will give you a free meal today."
"No... no, you are the boss?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a long time, and then she realized that she was the owner of the cave restaurant.
The middle-aged man with long hair also smiled and said: "Yes, I opened this store. If you can come to the store to eat today, it is a reward. I treat you."
"I'm sorry, no need." Gu Chen quickly refused, but couldn't bear the boss's enthusiasm.
Not long after, the boss took a small card from the cashier, handed it to Lu Weiwei and said:
"Our cashier system here collects money first and then orders food. Sorry, I collected your money first, so I will give you a free order. Next time you come to our store with this VIP card, I can give it to you.
One order is free.”
"How embarrassing." Lu Weiwei saw that she had just come to the cave restaurant for dinner, and the boss had already offered her a VIP card, so of course she had to reject it immediately.
After all, Lu Weiwei also knows very well that with her good reputation, many restaurant owners who know her will give her free orders, but Lu Weiwei does not dare to take advantage of this.
The offer is acceptable, but Lu Weiwei refuses the free payment.
After the two of them argued back and forth in the restaurant for a while, Lu Weiwei finally came up with a compromise and said: "Boss, we can't take your free VIP card."
"If you really want to give us a discount, then give us a few bottles of drinks. After all, your restaurant has just opened, and I don't want to take advantage of you."
"Haha." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was interesting, the middle-aged man with long hair also nodded silently and said involuntarily:
"Okay, I also know that you are disciplined and I won't embarrass you. I just want to get to know you and make friends."
"If it's really difficult, that's okay. I'll give you a few more bottles of drinks and a few more dishes later. It's my sincerity. Isn't this acceptable?"
"That's okay, haha." Lu Weiwei didn't want to embarrass her enthusiasm too much, so she agreed.
After a brief communication between the two, the middle-aged man with long hair returned to the kitchen with the empty plates from the next table.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with long hair came to Gu Chen and others, distributed some drinks to everyone, and brought some peanuts and pistachios for everyone to enjoy.
Later, the middle-aged man, who was also familiar with it, took a wooden chair from the next table and sat directly next to a few people. He couldn't help but sigh:
"I feel honored to be able to sit and chat with you several influential people."
"Haha, you are really good at talking." Lu Weiwei liked this kind of rainbow fart and asked teasingly:
"How did you come up with the idea of opening a restaurant in this place? I've also seen some of your videos."
"Harmful!" After hearing Lu Weiwei's question, the middle-aged man with long hair simply opened his chatter and began to share with everyone:
"Actually, my family is from a nearby village. Back then, this was a mine, and there were big trucks coming and going every day, which made the environment here very bad."
"Later, after I graduated from high school, I studied cooking abroad and worked as a chef for many years."
"Didn't I hear that the mines here in my hometown have been closed down? Then we need to restore the ecological environment and build some kind of mining park."
"When I thought about it, this might be an opportunity. I might be able to return to my hometown and make something in the mine park to make a living."
After a pause, the middle-aged man with long hair couldn't help but sigh: "But, I don't know what to do? I was very depressed that day, and I came to the place where I grew up playing. Well, this is it."
"When I was a child, I often came here with my friends, and then looked at the excavator in the distance, digging and digging at the mine opposite."
"Then I took a random video. It was mainly a video of the environment here, including the cave I grew up playing in, and the mine park that is about to be built opposite. Hey, I didn't expect that this random thing would become a hot mess."
"The gears of fate suddenly started turning because I said in the video that I didn't know what to do when I returned to my hometown. Many people started giving me various suggestions and leaving various messages in the video."
"Then, the comments asking me to open a restaurant in a cave received the most likes, so I came up with the idea at that time."
Pointing to himself, the middle-aged man with long hair also continued: "After all, I am a chef."
"So at that time I felt, hey, this thing might have something going on, so I just started working on it."
Spreading his hands, the middle-aged man with long hair also laughed and said: "At that time, I didn't know whether it would be successful. So, I shared my daily progress in renovating the restaurant here on the Internet."
"Unexpectedly, everyone seems to like it very much, and every video is very popular. Until I opened the business, there was an endless stream of customers who came here to check in and dine. I was so busy every day that I couldn't find where to go."
"Isn't that right? I have recruited some more employees, and I feel like I can do something big."
"Did you hear that?" Lu Weiwei listened to the middle-aged man's story, then quickly glanced at He Junchao aside, and couldn't help but complain:
"Starting a business is not just as simple as building an Internet celebrity restaurant. It is built step by step based on the suggestions of netizens."
"I think your restaurant can continue to do well, and its reputation online is pretty good now."
Seeing Lu Weiwei chatting with the restaurant owner, she involved herself.
He Junchao was a little embarrassed, but he smiled and said: "After all, my boss is powerful."
"I can't talk about my strength, but I've made a lot of money as a chef over the years. It's mainly because I can withstand the hardships."
"In addition, my parents at home are getting older, so I want to stay with my parents so that they can spend their old age peacefully."
"And the reputation of this restaurant is also thanks to word-of-mouth referrals from many customers."
After a pause, the restaurant owner quickly added: "By the way, after you finish your meal, please help us rate our restaurant."
"This is very important for a new store like ours, because a lot of money has been invested in the early stage, so it needs word-of-mouth spread to bring some traffic."
"Don't worry, if it's as delicious as advertised online, then I will naturally give you a reasonable rating. Of course, it's not just because you gave us some drinks and dishes. I still have to give you an objective and fair rating."
Hearing Lu Weiwei's teasing, the middle-aged man with long hair also smiled and said: "That's for sure. It's important for us to give more valuable advice."
"You can bring more friends over next time, and I can give you a discount here."
"I think your business here will definitely get better and better." Listening to the middle-aged man with long hair, Gu Chen also pointed outside and said:
"Now the Mine Park is almost completed. When it opens, it will definitely be very lively. You can definitely attract tourists from the Mine Park to come here to check in and take photos."
"After all, the location at the entrance of your cave is simply an excellent viewing platform."
"Many people want to check in and take photos of the Mine Park, so this viewing platform is definitely an ideal place to take photos."
"Yes, yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side quickly agreed:
"Sometimes, as long as you guard the photo check-in point in this three-thirds of an acre, the flow will be like tap water, flowing continuously. It seems that you will make a lot of money this time."
