Rebirth of the Guardian Cute Baby

Chapter 257 Attracting Customers

Opening a store is much more troublesome than selling a small food truck. After all, the space of a small food truck is limited, and the wide variety of goods sold is already overwhelming. Nowadays, opening a restaurant requires careful consideration and careful planning.

Zhen Jing originally planned to hire two part-time workers, but before she could post the job posting, two aunties in their forties came to her house to apply for jobs. Zhen Jing asked them to try out in the kitchen and found that they worked efficiently and paid great attention to hygiene, so she decided to hire them both.

Considering that summer is coming to an end, she plans to change noodles to hand-rolled noodles, and use stir-fried vegetables and stews as the main dishes, while grilled skewers and other dishes will be served according to customer demand and will no longer be recommended.

"Auntie just opened her business and hired two people. What should she do if there are no customers and she can't even pay the employees' salaries?"

"You're such a jinx!" Zhen Yu confidently put her hands on her hips and said, "It doesn't matter if there are no customers. We can go out on the street and hand out flyers to attract customers! My mother's cooking is delicious, especially her chicken soup. The rich aroma will surely attract many customers."

"Little boy, have you ever seen a cow? You're such a boaster!" Cheng Haoran expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhen Yu's boasting, "You have to be down-to-earth in analyzing the market situation. Sometimes it's not just about delicious food that will attract customers. It takes the right time, place, and people, as well as luck."

There were no customers yet, and the two children were refusing to give way to each other.

"Of course my mom is lucky. Have you ever eaten the kebabs she made? Have you ever eaten the noodles she cooked? What am I bragging about?"

"I have. I didn't say Auntie's cooking was not delicious," Cheng Haoran squinted his eyes and shook his head. "Is your mother a chef in a restaurant? She was delayed because of taking care of you!"

"My mother is not a chef. She paid a lot of money to learn how to cook! After she finished her studies, she was even given a small car that can cook."

"Oh"

Cheng Haoran stopped arguing with Zhen Yu. He went to the door and stood there watching the people passing by on the street.

Zhen Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, remembering that the food her mother cooked when she was at work was not tasty at all, not even as good as the food in the kindergarten. Her mother was really amazing. She could cook so deliciously after just a few days of learning. She would encourage more children in the kindergarten to bring their families to her mother's restaurant for dinner.

"What delicious food do you have in your store?"

A pregnant woman with a big belly came to the restaurant with her two children and an old lady.

Cheng Haoran said: "We have noodles, grilled skewers, and stir-fried dishes. Welcome."

"Well, let's try it. Can we order?"

"can."

When the pregnant woman was ordering food, the two children who came with her were running around the table, looking around with curious eyes. The old lady sat on the chair and reminded them from time to time, "Be careful, don't run around, or you'll break other people's things."

Zhen Yu wanted to play with the two children, so she watched intently from the side. Cheng Haoran led her to the entrance of the restaurant, "Didn't you say you wanted to attract customers? Hurry up!"

Zhen Yu looked up at him and said, "Yes! Then let's have a competition to see who brings more customers."

Cheng Haoran shook his head. "No, what if you fail to bring the customer and the customer takes you away? Let's just look for the target here together."

"OK then!"

Zhen Yu put her hand to her mouth as an amplifier: "Selling noodles, my mother made noodles, you will want to eat more, don't miss it if you pass by, come and taste it!"

Cheng Haoran also shouted in a youthful voice: "Come over here and take a look. There's a new restaurant opened over here. It doesn't matter if you want to eat there or not. Come over to the door and have a taste first..."

Zhen Jing, who had very good hearing, couldn't help laughing when she heard the two children shouting.

After the pregnant woman ordered the dishes, she asked if there were any discounts. Zhen Jing smiled and said, "There are no discounts. The food I cook is made with real ingredients. The ingredients are also carefully selected at the vegetable market. They are nutritious. There are also pregnancy meals for pregnant women."

The old lady beside him was dissatisfied:

"Boss, give us a 8% discount! Others who have just opened a new store are offering a 5% discount, but you can't do business like this! How can you not offer discounts or gifts?"

Zhen Jing looked at the pregnant woman, then at the old lady, then at the two children they brought, shook her head and said nothing.

The old lady was very angry: "Xiao Wen, we don't want to eat here anymore, let's choose another one, there are so many restaurants!"

The pregnant woman was obviously in a good mood. She said softly, "Mom, the food has been ordered. Didn't you just say that the smell of this restaurant is pleasant? Let's try it."

The old lady turned her head and said, "Well, I'm telling you, you can't pay if it doesn't taste good!"

Soon, sauerkraut fish and braised spareribs were served on the table.

Three bowls of hand-rolled noodles were also cooked, one bowl each for the woman and the old lady, and one bowl for the two children.

"Wow! Grandma! This noodle smells so good, it must be delicious!"

The old lady looked at the noodles and said, "It's just hand-rolled noodles. Grandma can make it, too."

The boy curled his lips and said, "I've never eaten noodles made by my grandma."

The pregnant woman divided a bowl of noodles into two portions for the two children. The little boy was about four or five years old and no longer needed to be fed. The little girl was too young for the pregnant woman to feed her, but she refused and insisted on eating with chopsticks.

"Wow! This braised spareribs is delicious too! So delicious. I also want to eat cola chicken wings!"

The little boy kept talking while he ate.

"It's just braised pork ribs, how delicious can it be!" The old lady also picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her mouth, and then stopped talking.

too delicious.

She couldn't help but glance at her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, then stopped talking and started eating quickly.

The pregnant woman asked Zhen Jing to add a cola chicken wing and candied potatoes, and also asked for an extra bowl of noodles for the old lady and the boy.

The old lady and the boy shared a bowl of noodles.

Of the four dishes they ordered, only two chicken wings were left because they couldn't eat any more.

“This dish is delicious, but the portion is too small!”

The old lady wiped her mouth with a tissue and did not stop her daughter-in-law from paying the bill.

When the pregnant woman was checking out, Zhen Jing looked at her and her child again. She smiled and asked, "It must be very hard for you to take care of two children, right?"

The pregnant woman smiled and said, "It's OK. I get up in the morning and send the eldest child to kindergarten. I pick him up after school in the afternoon. My mother-in-law takes care of the second child during the day, and she also takes care of the two children at night."

Zhen Jing saw her future misfortune through the pregnant woman. When her mother-in-law was taking care of the children, she was careless and the boy got lost, and the girl fell into the water and died.

As for the one in her belly, the pregnant woman was devastated by the loss of two children. The child was malnourished when it was born and has been in poor health ever since, and did not live to the age of twenty.

Zhen Jing just felt very sad, an unprecedented sadness. She didn't care about how she could see these things again. She just wanted to tell the pregnant woman to take good care of the child.

"I've paid, please take a look." The pregnant woman saw Zhen Jing looking at her two children in a daze, and frowned unconsciously, suspecting that there was something wrong with her boss.

But because the meal was so delicious, better than anything she had ever had, and no worse than eating in a big restaurant, she didn't take Zhen Jing's distraction to heart.

"We'll come back to eat next time."

Zhen Jing came back to her senses and smiled at the pregnant woman: "Thank you for your recognition, you are our lucky customer, next time you come, I will give you a 50% discount."

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard about the 50% discount from a distance away.

She came over quickly and asked:

"Do you have a discount card? If you don't leave evidence, what if you deny it when we come tomorrow?"

She saw the dishes posted on the wall and wanted to try many of them. The key point was that they were 50% off.

The lucky customer was someone Zhen Jing had temporarily introduced. There was no discount card available, so she took a piece of paper, wrote a 50% discount on a lucky customer card, and handed it to the old lady.

She had to keep this carefully. The old lady put the discount card in her pocket. She asked for a take-away bag and put the remaining two chicken wings into it.

"Thank you, boss."

The pregnant woman left the restaurant happily with her child and mother-in-law. On the way out, she met several customers coming in.

"This restaurant is actually called Zhen Xiang Noodle House. This name is so down-to-earth."

"I don't know if it's really delicious, let's try it!"

"Haha, I don't know where the boss hired those two kids at the door, they are so eloquent."

These were customers attracted by Cheng Haoran and Zhen Yu, and a few came because of the aroma of the noodle soup.

Soon the tables in the restaurant were full. Zhen Jing and the two hourly helpers were busy all the time, and Cheng Haoran and Zhen Yu also came back.

Cheng Haoran was responsible for serving the dishes. Zhen Yu was tired, so he stopped asking for help and just sat aside to rest.
