Chapter 140: The Little Fool of the Times 29 Sooner or later we will have to live together...
After a few days, Chen Linye had completely settled his affairs in the town, so he moved there with the lamb.
There is a restaurant downstairs, which is well decorated, clean and simple, and looks very hygienic. For a restaurant, hygiene is a very important point. Making customers feel comfortable is the most important thing, and fancy decoration is secondary.
The two of them lived upstairs. The place was not big, but not small either, and was just enough for them.
The bedrooms where the two of them slept were not separated. Chen Linye was selfish and just put a screen in the middle to separate them.
The two of them spent a lot of energy on moving, and it was already afternoon when they finished packing.
The little lamb lay motionless on his little bed, throwing a tantrum: "Why don't I have my own room!"
Chen Linye wiped her sweat with a tissue and said, "This is Guaiguai's room."
"No, you're in there too!" The lamb pouted angrily.
Chen Linye touched his nose and thought for a while, "There's not enough room, dear."
"You're lying! How can it be not enough? You can use it as a storage room, so why can't you have my room?" The lamb was angrily and turned to the other side, not wanting to talk to him.
Chen Linye changed his excuse, "I'm afraid you'll be scared sleeping alone. Darling, you've never slept alone before."
Xiaoyang didn't say anything, so Chen Linye went to pull him up again, "Besides, sooner or later we will have to live together..."
"Shame on you!" The lamb blushed and stretched out her little hand to push his face away.
Chen Linye smiled and took a bite of her dimple.
……
In order to prepare for the opening, Xiaoyang asked Chen Linye to distribute "flyers" in the early stage. Although they were called flyers, they were actually just words scribbled on a piece of paper, with the restaurant's name, address and discount amounts written on them.
Chen Linye hired a group of children with candies and distributed them along the streets.
Many people would take it and have a look for the sake of novelty. The biggest words on it read "Chenyang Restaurant", and next to it was a string of words: "With this ticket, you can enjoy 7% discount on opening day July 3!" followed by the address.
"Hey, look, if you use this piece of paper you can get a 20% discount!"
"How do you say 20% off?"
"If it costs one dollar, with this piece of paper, we can buy it for 80 cents!"
"That's a good deal, save it and go take a look at it later!"
This flyer played a big role. People knew early on that Chenyang Restaurant would open on July 3rd. Even those who didn't plan to eat there wanted to join in the fun.
Soon it was the opening day, and there was a piece of cardboard on the door with a message: Today only, every table will get a free plate of peanuts.
Although peanuts are not expensive, who doesn’t like getting something cheap for free?
Soon people from all the alleys heard the news and rushed over, surrounding the restaurant entrance so that no one could get in. The first floor was already full, so they had to set up a few more tables outside.
The size of the discount is one thing, but what’s more important is that Chen Linye’s cooking skills are indeed good, and the chef he hired is a master chef with several years of experience. As a partnership between the two, the taste of the dishes is even better.
Chen Linye and Xiaoyang did not expect so many people to come. Besides being surprised, they were also a little flustered.
Chen Pandi is here today too. I don’t know how she negotiated with her family a couple of days ago, but she just moved here, determined to earn her own money.
But there were too many people today, and she alone was far from enough, so the proprietress Xiaoyang also shuttled among the crowd to deliver dishes and take orders.
Xu Nian also came today. She originally wanted to show her support, but she didn't expect that there were so many people that they didn't need her support at all. Instead, they needed her to help.
Many customers have not yet tasted the food in the new restaurant and don’t know what it tastes like, so they ask customers who are already seated to eat.
"Hey, how's the food here? Is it delicious?"
"It's really good! Especially the roast chicken they recommend. Although the price is not cheap, it tastes great!"
“It looks so fragrant!”
“It’s worth the price!”
There are many good reviews like this, and basically no one has anything bad to say about it after eating it.
After half a day, the ingredients were sold out.
Chen Linye had no choice but to come out of the kitchen and apologize to the customers who had not waited.
"I'm so sorry, everyone. We didn't prepare enough ingredients today. We will prepare enough for tomorrow. If you don't eat today, come tomorrow and I'll give you 20% off and a plate of peanuts for free!"
The boss said this, and the customers didn't get angry. They jokingly agreed, "Boss, business is booming today!"
Chen Linye smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's support!"
After all the customers left, the store employees gathered around the table to eat lunch. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon before everyone had time to eat.
Chen Linye did not treat everyone badly. There was a big table with chicken, duck and meat. You could never eat these at home. Even during the Chinese New Year, the feast was not so sumptuous.
Everyone was drooling and eating so fast that they didn't even have time to talk.
The restaurant's ingredients are all collected in the village, and the prices are relatively cheap and affordable. Chen Linye himself hired people to transport them from the village to the town, which is convenient for both sides.
Originally, the village was not close to the town, and people would not choose to take their vegetables to the town to sell. Not only could they not bring much at a time, they could not earn enough for the trip. But now that Chen Linye was earning in bulk, both sides benefited.
As for Xiaoyang's family's land, it has been rented out to others. Not much money can be made from it, but the main thing is to prevent it from being abandoned.
The little white rabbit and the little fox were naturally brought along as well, and they were lying at my feet, eating happily.
Chen Linye wiped the sweat off Xiaoyang's face and said, "If there are always so many people, then we can hire another waiter."
The lamb responded vaguely without swallowing the food in his mouth.
It was the first time that Chen Pandi saw so many delicious dishes on the table, and she felt a little embarrassed to start eating.
The lamb put a lot of meat into her bowl and said, "Eat quickly. You've been very busy today."
Chen Linye nodded, "The store is short-staffed. Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Pandi nodded embarrassedly. This little bit of hardship was nothing. The work she did at home was no easier than here.
Xu Nian helped for most of the day and still looked beautiful in her red dress. She smiled and asked, "Then how is Boss Chen going to reward me?"
Chen Linye said: "What kind of reward does Boss Xu want?"
Xu Nian turned his eyes to Xiao Yang, "How about you lend it to me, Madam Boss?"
The lamb didn't understand and blinked his eyes.
Chen Linye hugged her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Nian burst out laughing, "Boss Chen, relax. I just bought a new skirt in my store. It's very pretty, but it's suitable for petite people. I can't wear it, so I want Xiao Yang to be my model."
"Just help me put on your clothes?"
"Yes, and you have to accompany me to go around and sit in the store."
Got it, this is her unique way of publicity.
Chen Linye lowered his head and looked at the little sheep. "See if Guaiguai wants to go?"
The lamb pouted, "Sure, but I'll grow taller, and my brother has already ordered milk for me!"
