148 Chapter 148 Opening (4)
Soon, Zhou Huaiming and the others were about to pay the bill. Zhou Ying walked out and said, “Big Brother Zhou, you’re treating me like an outsider now. Why are you paying at your restaurant?”
“Today is different as I’m treating them. Otherwise, they’ll think that I’m not sincere.” Zhou Huaiming laughed and looked at Sun Hongliang. “Bill please. Also, give me one of those membership cards.”
“Sure, please wait a moment.” Sun Hongliang glanced at Zhou Ying, and seeing that she didn’t stop him, he lowered his head and got to work.
Zhou Ying looked at them and said, “Sirs, how do you like the food? If you have any suggestions, please let us know. We can improve it.”
“Yes, yes. Don’t be polite. Just say what you have to say.” Zhou Huaiming turned his head and added.
Soon after, he was the first to speak up. “I like the food. It’s just that I’ll have to go back and change my clothes after this meal.”
“Yes, yes, it’ll be good if it can be ventilated.” County Mayor Kong shook his head and added, “But the weather is too cold, so that will be difficult.”
“We have to think of a way to solve this. I’ll think about it later.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement. To be honest, she had forgotten about this.
However, even if she did not forget, there was no ventilation system in this period. It seemed that she had to find a carpenter to modify an exhaust fan.
“Does anyone else have more suggestions?” she asked.
“The dishes in your restaurant are indeed delicious, but the overall taste is slightly bland. The people in our area have a preference for a strong taste, after all.” Manager Liu said.
“That’s true, but the numbing and spice are just to my taste. I’ll come and try the other pots when I’m free.” Tian Jingzhong said with a smile.
“You’re welcome at any time.” Zhou Ying nodded.
As for the others, they were all fine and didn’t raise any opinions. They might have had nothing to say.
After Zhou Huaiming got the VIP-looking membership card, the others also asked for one. Zhou Ying then sent them out after everything was done.
Then, she sent the patriarch and the others out but didn’t accept their money. The response he got was that the food was good, but the restaurant’s interior was a little too stuffy.
After a busy morning and four whole turnovers in the afternoon, everyone was exhausted.
In particular, a few workers had run so much that their legs were jellified.
Gu Chengrui’s hands trembled as he cut the meat, and Zhou Ying’s heart ached when she saw this. She stepped forward and held his hand. “You’ve worked hard, Rui. Let’s not use a knife in the afternoon and switch to using a shredder.”
“No, it’ll be troublesome if we’re discovered.” Gu Chengrui shook his head.
“I’m talking about the guillotine-like knife-cutting tool,”
“We can try that.”
After lunch, they cleaned the kitchen and returned to their rooms to rest.
Zhou Ying took out a guillotine meat cutter from her inters.p.a.ce. Then the husband and wife sliced the meat in the kitchen. Because of the cold weather, they were not afraid of the sliced meat sticking together.
So, the two of them worked together for the entire afternoon.
After finishing that, Zhou Ying stir-fried more base ingredients and mixed more dipping sauce. She didn’t care about anything else.
Most of the people who came in the evening were students at the academy. Some came to taste it after hearing the news, but there weren’t many of them, so the overall number of customers was much lower.
After sending off the last guest, Zhou Ying waited for Sun Hongliang to calculate the bill before asking, “Brother Sun, how much is today’s revenue?”
“778 taels, the total gross profit is 352 taels. Of course, the remaining five sets of lamb chops are not counted.
“If we count them in, we should be able to add another two taels.” Sun Hongliang said.
