In the previous life, Lan Kwai Fong was a good place for nightlife. Many shops only opened in the afternoon. Why did I have to change it to all-weather hours?
Sun Dahai first arrived at the development company not far from the entrance. He happened to see Zhao Jun from the property department walking out. Sun Dahai went over to inquire and found out the situation.
It turns out that there were indeed fewer people entering the store today. But yesterday was the first day of opening. The existing 35 merchants in Lan Kwai Fong were open for business at the same time, and their reception capacity was strong.
Starting today, some disco bars and nightclubs will open in the afternoon. As a result, Lan Kwai Fong's reception capacity during the day was suddenly reduced by one-third, making it appear to be overcrowded.
Those shops are open during the day, so it doesn't mean much. Yesterday was the first day, and it was busy with tourists. Many people only visited but did not spend money. They visited the thirty-five shops door to door.
Merchants don't care and happily receive tourists. It's good to be popular. It doesn't matter whether you spend money or not. The opening of a new store is just for good luck.
Today is already the second day, and tourists are reluctant to go shopping anymore. Merchants are more practical and just resume their normal business hours to avoid unnecessary unnecessary personnel and operating costs.
"There is still no way. We can only wait for the second phase of the project to be delivered to alleviate the passenger flow problem." Sun Dahai also has no good solution.
"This is Central, one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong. At this time, many young people from nearby office buildings come to visit during their lunch break and have some food.
During the meeting in the morning, Manager Zhu Lihua said that the passenger flow is expected to decrease in the afternoon, and it will not be until the evening that the real passenger flow peak period comes here," Zhao Jun said.
"Oh, if that's the case, I have a temporary diversion plan. Are Uncle Zhao, Sheng Zhiwen and Zhu Lihua all in there now? You can also come together and let's discuss it." Sun Dahai thought of the opening of Sewijinghao Cafe.
With the diversion plan, Zhao Jun was dragged into the development company.
Sun Dahai's plan is to organize merchants to sell takeaways together.
Merchants open during the day, whether fast food, pastries or simple meals, will sell food.
There is a piece of flat land behind Building 89, which is the isolation zone reserved between the first and second phases of the development project. Sun Dahai suggested that merchants focus their takeout sales here.
Soon, the diversion plan proposed by Sun Dahai was implemented after everyone discussed and revised it.
Sheng Zhiwen and Zhu Lihua came forward in person and went to each merchant to explain. Zhao Jun took the staff to the isolation zone, set up parasols and tables, and temporarily pulled in electric wires.
After a while, waiters from merchants began to arrive one after another, pushing carts or carrying boxes, transporting the food prepared in the store. Some merchants also brought in simple tools such as induction cookers, microwave ovens, and ovens, and sent chefs out.
, in order to attract popularity, it is prepared to be produced on site.
Because merchants all understand that diversion of customers or revenue from takeaways are trivial matters. The most important thing is to promote their own stores through takeaways and induce customers' willingness to enter the store for consumption.
Today's unified takeout was decided at short notice. From the development company to the merchants, everyone was unprepared and in a hurry.
However, interested merchants have already privately approached the marketing department and property department to request the division of areas, and are preparing to operate takeout stalls well during this period.
Old William took his troops and came out early to set up the stall.
After the discussion just now, Sun Dahai directly called No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant and Feilin Slow Shake Bar and expressed his proposal. Old William and Williams naturally supported Sun Dahai's proposal.
So Old William dispatched people, brought cooking utensils and ingredients, arrived early at the stall assigned to No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant, and started making preparations.
No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant originally did not have take-out food, but Sun Dahai helped them come up with an idea, which was to make hot pot noodles on site.
Add beef, mushrooms and vegetables to the pot, cook noodles at the same time, add stock. Add seasoning before serving, and finally sprinkle with sesame seeds and pepper.
The fragrant beef hot pot noodles are freshly cooked. Simple and fast, the hot pot noodles can be said to be delicious.
The chef from No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant was the chef who organized a tasting organized by Sun Dahai a few days ago. That day, Sun Dahai used the big pot in the store to make hot pot noodles for everyone. Naturally, the chef does not need to work alone for such a simple thing.
Learn and master the method by reading it once.
Amid the hustle and bustle, the newly opened takeout area has begun selling to the outside world.
The first store to open was Feilin Slow Shake Bar. Williams was very trouble-free. He packed the sandwiches prepared in the store, paired them with a cup of iced coffee, and started taking out.
The first customer turned out to be Sun Dahai. He was not here to be a babysitter. He was not old enough and could not openly enter the slow bar for consumption, but no one would care if he ate a takeaway sandwich.
As soon as the news came out that the takeaway area was open, people on the streets of Lan Kwai Fong immediately flocked here.
Most of these people are working people from nearby. They used their lunch break to visit Lan Kwai Fong. When they wanted to have a meal, they found that there were no vacancies.
They were considering which merchant to queue for and whether it would affect their work in the afternoon when they heard the announcement from the development company on the loudspeaker.
This is perfect for them. They can have a takeaway for lunch, and then if they still have time, they can find a few restaurants they like and visit them, so they can explore the way in advance for inviting friends to come here for fun in the future.
The takeaway hot pot noodles from No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant are very popular among customers. The reason is simply that they are greedy to look at, smell delicious and enjoyable to eat.
There are four large pots on site at the stall, which are used to make hot pot noodles at the same time. Plates of chopped beef, pots of washed mushrooms and vegetables are poured into the pot, and fish balls, shrimp dumplings and crabs are added to enhance the freshness.
stick, and finally add noodles and seasonings.
A large pot can produce ten bowls of noodles. Just like this, more and more people are queuing up. The chef has no choice. Now he is temporarily using an electric stove. The power is only so powerful. He can't cook it without cooking it.
.
The chef made a decision in his mind. He must move out the gas tank and booster pump before he goes out to do takeout. He couldn't save trouble. Not only were the customers queuing anxious, but he himself was also anxious.
Sun Dahai, Battelle, and Ren Zhifeng who came over, each had a set of sandwiches and a bowl of hot pot noodles, and were enjoying themselves in the temporary dining area set up by the property department.
There are no chairs in the dining area, only a few long tables. These are temporary tables borrowed from the construction site and covered with plastic sheets to form a simple table.
Although Sun Dahai is not used to it, he has no problem eating. It is already very good to be able to do this in a short period of time. This shows that the property department led by Zhao Jun is still very effective.
Sun Dahai and the others finished their meal and handed the tableware to the cleaners. Something happened suddenly today, so the merchants did not prepare disposable tableware, so everyone used regular tableware and had to hand it back after use.
