The diners in the hall returned to their seats, with smiles on their faces, and all doubts in their hearts disappeared. Now, they no longer doubt the dishes of the restaurant.
As for the outside of the restaurant, many onlookers were originally vacillating, considering whether to enter the restaurant for dinner, but now they were so determined that they rushed in one by one, and the hall was overcrowded for a while.
This is the celebrity effect brought by Li Yuan.
Emperor Li Yuan, all approved of the dishes, are naturally excellent.
Countless people followed and entered.
Seeing more and more diners in the lobby, Li Yuan believed Du Qi's words in his heart. The restaurant is such a good business that it is easy to make money every day, and it is even a cornucopia.
But for Li Yuan, he doesn't care much about a restaurant of this level. What Li Yuan is concerned about is that the restaurant has recruited so many veterans and wounded soldiers, and how many refugees it has gathered, so that people can no longer be displaced, so that many people can support their families and live a stable and stable life.
This is what Li Yuan cares about.
Li Yuan had already eaten his fill and did not stay any longer. He ordered Du Qi to make persistent efforts and left with his guards. Li Yuan has already eaten the dishes from the restaurant, and he has supported Du Qi, and everyone is happy now.
After Li Yuan left, the discussion in the restaurant continued.
Du Qi went straight back to the second floor.
He sat down in an elegant room, admiring the scene on the ground floor of the lobby. Now there are a steady stream of people entering, even in the lobby, there are a hundred large round tables, but the people who are constantly pouring in quickly fill up these seats.
Among them, some people came in a group, some came alone, or in twos or twos. Even so, many people are still using every opportunity to ensure that every table is full of people.
At noon, there was no room for more people in the lobby. Some people are already arranged in the elegant room on the second floor, and they are no longer crowded in the lobby, which can divert some diners. In particular, there are a steady stream of people coming to eat and people leaving, and the restaurant is always overcrowded.
After noon, the flow of people gradually decreased.
Even so, there are still many people in the restaurant. Under such a situation, the cooks in the back kitchen never rest from the beginning to the end, whether it is the cooks, or the waitresses who serve the dishes, and even Zhong Laoba and others who are only responsible for maintaining order, except in restaurants. The outside guides, and the rest joined the ranks of helpers.
Inside the restaurant, it was completely crazy busy.
The same is true for those who are responsible for collecting money. Today, due to the large number of people, the bill is not settled after eating, but the bill starts after ordering, and you just leave after eating.
In this way, it is not easy to cause chaos.
? Avoid slipping through the net.
Even so, the place where the money is collected is also very busy. This kind of busyness lasted until around midnight in the afternoon, when people of all ethnic groups left in the lobby of the restaurant, leaving only a few tables for dinner.
At this time, the busy people were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Du Qi came out of the elegant room and went straight to the back kitchen. Now the back kitchen, because there is no range hood, in order to allow the fumes to go out, the windows around the four sides are open.
In this way, the oily smoke will not keep hovering in the back kitchen.
In the back kitchen, the cook and others are taking a short rest.
When Du Qi entered, everyone saluted together. Whether it was Aunt Gongsun, or Zhong Laoba, Zhou Shan and others, or the rest of the waiters, they all saluted Du Qi.
Du Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today is the opening day of the restaurant. It has been busy since the morning, and I have only breathed a sigh of relief. It can be said that the restaurant has been a great success. You have been busy today, and you have worked hard."
When everyone heard the words, they all shook their heads.
Although these people were tired, they were extremely fulfilled, with proud expressions on their faces. For them, being able to enter Du Qi's restaurant, even the emperor came to the restaurant, made them proud and proud.
All of them were talking in a hurry, and their hearts were full of joy.
Du Qi raised his hand and pressed down, and everyone fell silent.
A pair of eyes converged on Du Qi again, and Du Qi said: "The restaurant just opened today, and you are very busy. Whether it is the back kitchen or the rest of the people, it is very hard work. My son decided that the back kitchen All cooks will be rewarded with 300 qian today. Everyone else will be rewarded with 100 qian each."
The cook is different from the rest.
Because of the operation of the whole restaurant, it has to rely on the backWithout these cooks, otherwise the restaurant would be difficult to operate.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
"My lord is very kind!"
One after another, they kept opening their mouths, and when they looked at Du Qi, their eyes were full of gratitude.
For them, one hundred dollars and three hundred dollars are not small sums. Even, with the money, they can rent a house in Chang'an City and live in Chang'an.
Everyone in the restaurant is not someone with status or background, but a person with low status. For example, the old women cleaning in restaurants are in their fifties and sixties, and they live in poverty.
The veterans under Zhong Laoba's care were all injured one by one, and life was not easy. What's more, all the cooks transferred from Du's family are actually very ordinary, and they are all slaves of the family.
As for the restaurant, the women who are responsible for serving the dishes are all people whose families have been destroyed and who have been displaced to Chang'an. Now they can all live and work in peace and contentment, and can earn money to support their families.
Therefore, these people are grateful to Du Qi.
Everyone's eyes are shining, and they are all extremely happy.
They are very happy.
Du Qi raised his hand to press down, and everyone became quiet again. He continued: "My son opened a restaurant to open the door to do business, and to make money from it. But I hope that you can understand a truth after tax when you do things. .¡±
"When you do things, you must have a beginning and an end, and you must always maintain the best service level. Only in this way can the business of the restaurant be truly prosperous and sustainable."
"The restaurant makes money, and you can also make money in the restaurant. I will not treat you badly. So I hope that you will be like this in the future, keep your original aspirations forever, and don't forget your roots after a while. Original intention, perfunctory."
Du Qidao: "When doing things in a restaurant, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
For them, they were all grateful to Du Qi in their hearts, and they all made up their minds to do things well.
Du Qi continued: "Now you are temporarily working in a restaurant, so your monthly salary is not high. But you also know that my son not only has a restaurant, but also another tea shop."
"In the future, there will be even more."
"So in the near future, my son will specially ask my master to set up a private school affiliated to my son, so that your children can all read, so that they won't grow up without knowing a single word."
"As long as they are people under my command, Du Qi, their heirs can enter to study."
"This is my promise to you guys."
Du Qi assured: "As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner, everything will become better. Even if you don't have any special skills, you can still live in Chang'an safely. Your sons, who can read and write in Chang'an, are no longer big characters. know one."
Following Du Qi's words, everyone was even more excited.
When they looked at Du Qi, there seemed to be a trace of fanaticism in their eyes. In this era, a scholar is heaven. For an ordinary family, it is an extremely honorable thing to have a scholar in the family.
The scholarly family is even more remarkable.
If their heirs can study, they may even have the opportunity to be officials in the future. Even if you can't be an official, you can still do other things. As long as you can read and write, it means you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
So everyone is excited. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
