Chapter 368: Food Street Becomes a Hit
After hearing what the emperor said, everyone was frowning. How could the emperor have no good food? There were so many chefs and so many good ingredients in the imperial kitchen, which was what many people coveted. Yet the emperor said there was nothing good to eat.
Zheng Sisi was also helpless. She said, "If Uncle Huang wants to eat, just ask Uncle Mu to pack it up. We will definitely prepare it for you."
Emperor Yongshun was satisfied: "Okay, I'll ask Xiaomu to pack it up from now on, hehe!"
The carriage started back to the palace. Everyone looked back and saw the words "Foodie Food Street" shining brightly. The food street was impressive, the experience was great, and it was very appropriate. Wouldn't everyone become a foodie after coming here? If you don't become a foodie, then you're a saint.
After seeing off the emperor and the ministers, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Sisi bowed to the people watching the excitement at the street entrance and said, "Thank you all for coming to support us. The Food Street is open today and is now accepting customers. If you need to taste the food, please come in."
Finally we can go in. Some people couldn't wait any longer and rushed forward immediately after hearing this. They had just observed carefully and would not be like some fools who only eat one kind of food and would enjoy eating all over the street. They don't lack this little money.
In an instant, many people poured into the empty streets, and the waiters at the door of each store were doing their work in an orderly manner and serving every customer well.
Cleaning staff were also on the streets, picking up the garbage discarded by guests.
Old Madam Zheng came with her daughters-in-law on time. After finishing the story of "Journey to the West", Old Duke Zheng urged her to go back, which made her very unhappy. She said that Sisi cooked delicious food every day in the mansion, but she could not eat it now that she was back.
Duke Zheng Lao said angrily: "You have eaten so much, why didn't you think of me and bring me something delicious."
Mrs. Zheng was speechless because she had never sent them food. Fortunately, Zheng Sisi sent people to send some food every day to comfort the two old people.
The wives of several families also came. Zheng Sisi welcomed everyone into the house. When they saw the crowds of people on the street, everyone was shocked. How could they eat with so many people? They couldn't even squeeze in to buy something.
Zheng Sisi had no choice but to take everyone to a shop with fewer customers, because customers would not sit down, but would rather take their food to the next shop to buy other things, eating while waiting without wasting time. Just like a modern food street, it is more delicious to eat while walking.
She took her three sisters to other shops to get food to entertain everyone. The ladies in the shops were all familiar to her, so they sat in the shops chatting and laughing, enjoying the service of the younger generations.
The food street was very busy that day, with customers coming in batches, all of them coming to try the new food. The waiters were so busy that they had no time to eat lunch. Zheng Sisi told each shop to take care of itself and just eat whatever they wanted, since it was impossible to eat in batches.
Because she couldn't find a more suitable manager, Zheng Sisi asked Chuntao to be the manager of this street, and the financial power was in her hands.
Zheng Sisi said to Chuntao, "Looking at this situation, the turnover will not be small. Everyone has worked hard today. You can count them and give a bonus of 50 cents to all employees and helpers. Let's do this for now. I will set a target for you when the turnover stabilizes."
Chun Tao said happily: "Thank you, County Lord. We will work hard."
By four o'clock in the afternoon, all the stock was used up. Gradually, some shops had nothing to sell, but there were still so many people buying. There was no time to rush to buy more. We could only explain to the customers and welcome them to come back to buy next time. The customers also understood that with so much food, it didn't matter if they didn't have one or two and just went for other things.
By five o'clock, the place was completely sold out and the guests who came in had to leave disappointed and look forward to coming back tomorrow.
Everyone is very happy about the food street's instant success, and the opening of the food street has made the area bustling.
When Zheng Sisi and her friends returned to the county lord's mansion with boxes of silver coins, they looked at the boxes in disbelief. Originally, each store had a box with fifty taels of silver coins and copper coins in it, which was used to change the customers' money. It only took up a small corner of the box, but now it was already two-thirds full, with more than a dozen boxes added up. What kind of concept is this? This is still at a 20% discount, if there is no discount, it will be much more.
Zheng Sisi didn't expect there would be so many. She said, "Your task today is to count the silver. I want you to experience counting money until your hands cramp. Hahaha!"
Zheng Zhimin said excitedly: "Who doesn't love to count silver? Don't worry, you won't see that kind of situation."
Several people nodded in agreement. Zheng Sisi just smiled and said nothing. Just wait and see!
