Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Two weeks later.

As per Ye Chen's request, the restaurant run by Luo Ling was the first to be renovated.

The original shop had two floors, but Ye Chen added an extra rooftop terrace on top of that.

In this way, sitting on the rooftop, one can see the smoke rising from the chimneys of the county town and take it all in!

It gives you a feeling of loneliness at the top!

Ye Chen's method clearly incorporated modern thinking. In a county town full of single-story houses at that time, such a height was enough to give one a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains!

"This place is nicely decorated, with a great view. You've got some real skills, kid!"

Even Third Master couldn't help but nod in praise when he saw the hotel's decor.

Luo Ling nodded with satisfaction, eager to try it out.

"The decor here is really nice. With Third Master's culinary skills and the menu Ye Chen gave me, this restaurant is sure to be a sensation after it opens!"

"Over the past month, I've completed the training for the restaurant's staff, and all the setup is basically in place. We'll have a practice run tomorrow, and then we'll open for business the day after!"

"By the way, Mr. Hu, I was thinking of hosting a special banquet for you contributors before the restaurant opens."

"You absolutely must show up tomorrow night at 7 PM. Our Luo Family Restaurant will be waiting for your arrival. We'll have a good discussion then!"

Luo Ling's idea of ​​a trial operation was something she had discussed with Ye Chen long ago. They would first receive some people with whom they had a good relationship, so that they could also take this opportunity to discover the mistakes of the entire team.

Make rectifications in advance to prevent accidents from happening.

That way, if you really encounter a large crowd, you might not even have time to correct it!

"Okay, that's a good idea. We can rehearse in advance and correct any mistakes. I'll definitely come tomorrow, but let's be clear: I'm very picky about food. If it's not to my liking, I'll criticize it to my face!"

Boss Hu smiled and joked. Then, at Ye Chen's request, he specially invited several familiar old friends over.

Ye Chen even asked Boss Qin to arrange a dinner with three to five people in advance, thus forming a dinner party for ten people.

They are all business savvy and influential figures who are very successful in the provincial capital!

……

The next afternoon, Luo's Restaurant was bustling with activity.

Seeing the restaurant bustling with activity and attracting many customers, people couldn't resist coming in.

"I'm sorry, our restaurant is having a soft opening today and is not open to the public yet. However, if everything goes smoothly during today's soft opening, we guarantee to open for business within three days!"

Luo Ling explained to the customers more than once that, as the boss, Luo Ling was busy running around, checking the kitchen and reminding the waiters to be careful not to make mistakes.

With such trepidation, the meal was finally served.

Luo Ling finally had some free time to keep him company!

"How was the meal, everyone?" Luo Ling asked with a warm smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone praised him.

"Excellent, excellent, especially this Squirrel Fish. The ingredients are exquisite, and the flavor is unique. How come I've never had it before?"

"And I also know about twice-cooked pork. It seems simple, but the flavor is unexpectedly amazing! Great, great, great!"

"This 'maocai' (a type of Sichuan hot pot) uses ordinary ingredients, but the way they're mixed together creates a unique and special flavor. Your restaurant really has a lot of variety; your business is sure to be booming after you open!"

Everyone was speaking from the heart; Ye Chen's menu, combined with Third Master's culinary skills, was simply a perfect combination.

All sorts of novel dishes were skillfully prepared and served by Third Master, which were a complete ripple effect compared to the food at the time!

"I've decided. From now on, whenever I come to the county town to do business, He's Restaurant will be where I entertain my distinguished guests! I just heard Ye Chen say that our restaurant has membership cards, and you can get discounts as long as you top up your account, right?"

Satisfied, Boss Qin took the initiative to ask, and seeing Luo Ling nod, he pulled out several thick stacks of ten-yuan notes from his pocket without saying a word.

"I won't say much more. Here's 10000 yuan, put it all into that membership card! What discount should I get, boss lady? Look, the food at this restaurant is pretty good, I'll definitely come more often!"

With Boss Qin taking the lead, the other bosses also generously contributed, some giving 2000, others 5000. In just one meal, the bosses had already prepaid more than 3 yuan!

"Ye Chen, you really have a way with things. Try setting up a membership card system where people can prepay and quickly recoup their investment."

"Once this store becomes successful, we'll have a considerable amount of money. Then we can open a branch without worrying about capital!"

While the dishes were being served, Luo Ling called Ye Chen aside and excitedly reported to her superior.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Today was just a small-scale event; the real harvest would come after the opening tomorrow!

Ye Chen's pricing for the restaurant is entirely geared towards the working class, truly catering to ordinary people who work or run businesses.

These people have plenty of spare money. Although each person can only spend a hundred or two hundred on a membership card, the price can rise as the number of people increases!

According to Ye Chen's estimate, the restaurant's hourly revenue from membership cards alone will reach 100,000 in the next week!

If business is booming, we can open a branch outside the county!

"Whether it's chain operations or membership card systems, these are ideas far ahead of their time. In this era where everyone is conservative, it's practically a game-changer!"

"As long as the food is good, the business will definitely grow rapidly. According to my prediction, within six months at most, Luo's Restaurant will become a sensation in the provincial capital and make a fortune!"

Ye Chen was pondering this in his mind and was about to speak to Luo Ling about some things she needed to pay attention to when, unexpectedly, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the rooftop on the third floor.

The commotion made Ye Chen's face turn pale, and without saying a word, he rushed to the rooftop!

Just one glance was enough to make Ye Chen's face fall. He had asked Boss Hu to install a lot of handrails along the edge of the third floor to prevent anyone from falling off the rooftop!

But now, the entire clapping hand on his right had fallen down, and recalling the exclamation from earlier, Ye Chen immediately realized...

Someone must have fallen from the third floor. This has really blown up!

"How are you? Are all the bosses alright?" With a hint of panic, Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

But then he saw that Boss Qin looked uneasy, and took a few deep breaths before regaining his composure.

"Ye Chen, it's lucky it was me just now. If it had been someone else, things could have really gotten really bad!"

"Your third-floor rooftop had a novel design, but why does the railing collapse as soon as you lean against it?"

"Old Hu, you were in charge of designing this restaurant. It's a good thing it opened for trial operation today; otherwise, with so many customers, the railings collapsing would have been a major problem!"

"Old Hu, you can make money, but you need to give me an explanation for what happened today!"
