After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and answered with a smile:

"Yes. The second floor is Brother Lin's newly opened VIP room area. There are six rooms in total, named Pine, Bamboo, Plum, Orchid, Lotus, and Chrysanthemum."

"The private rooms have a separate rest area and tea table, and the soundproofing is excellent. However, there is a minimum spending requirement for the private rooms, starting at 1,000 yuan per room. They just opened today, so no reservations are needed in advance; it's first-come, first-served."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the restaurant owners at the surrounding tables lit up instantly.

A minimum spend of 1,000 yuan?

This is no big deal at Lin's shop! Just order half a roast duck and two bowls of beef brisket noodles and that's enough!

When this group of people go out to eat, the most important thing they value is privacy.

Previously, the Lin family shop only had a main hall, so if you wanted to discuss business or invite a few important clients, you simply couldn't open your mouth.

Now that they have private rooms, it has solved their biggest pain point.

"Give me a restaurant with the 'Relaxed' name on it!" The casually dressed owner immediately decided, stood up, and went upstairs. "I'll call a few friends to come over and eat together!"

"Reserve me a shop with the character 'Bamboo' in its name!"

"I want one!"

In less than two minutes, all six private rooms on the second floor were booked.

The individual diners in the hall didn't mind; being able to sit comfortably in a spacious and bright place and enjoy a hot meal was already a huge upgrade for them.

The kitchen area has undergone a complete transformation.

The originally semi-open kitchen has now been extended back by more than double.

A huge transparent glass panel completely separates the kitchen from the front of the house.

Diners sitting in the hall could clearly see every move Lin Fan made while cooking, but they couldn't hear a single sound from the range hood.

Lin Fan, dressed in a clean white chef's uniform, stood in front of the brand-new workbench.

Four powerful stoves are lined up in a row, with purple and gold kitchen utensils securely embedded in them.

Next to it are specially separated cutting and preparation areas and chilled food areas.

The newly delivered large hanging stove was placed in the far corner, the fire was burning brightly, and it emitted an enticing aroma of fruitwood.

"Table number one, one serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and one bowl of rice." Su Xiaoxiao pasted the printed order form on the food service window outside the glass.

Lin Fan glanced at the order form and started heating the oil in the wok.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and stir-fry. The purple-gold Bagua pot instantly locks in the aroma, and a thin layer of golden mist rises from the surface of the pot.

With the kitchen space expanded and fully equipped, Lin Fan was able to unleash his full potential.

With the left hand tossing the wok and the right hand controlling the heat, a plate of bright red and tempting scrambled eggs with tomatoes was ready in less than three minutes.

"Table number two, two bowls of Supreme Clear Broth Beef Brisket Noodles."

Boil the noodles in water, drain and cool them, then pour on the amber-colored old-fashioned broth and top with red and white beef brisket.

Lin Fan served meals more than twice as fast as before.

Plates of steaming hot dishes were served through the serving chute.

The young man in the white shirt sitting in the lobby brought over the beef brisket noodles he had ordered.

He took a deep breath of the soup's aroma, picked up his chopsticks, and put a roll of noodles into his mouth.

The noodles are chewy and springy, and the broth is delicious and rich.

He turned to look at the glaring sunlight outside the window, then at the simple and elegant dining environment in front of him.

Listening to the faint sound of flowing water in the pool, I felt that the 188 yuan was more worthwhile than ever before.

"With this ambiance and this skill, Boss Lin's restaurant is going to be a legend in Jiangcheng," the young man exclaimed as he ate.

As time went on, the number of people queuing outside grew larger and larger.

Although the expanded store can accommodate 120 people at the same time, it is still not enough to meet the demand of hundreds or thousands of customers every day.

But today, the people queuing outside were noticeably more composed.

Because Su Xiaoxiao had set up a small shed at the entrance and moved in several benches. Not only were there sun umbrellas, but they also offered free chilled barley tea.

"Don't rush, everyone. There are plenty of seats inside, and the turnover is quick." Su Xiaoxiao held the number book and maintained order in an orderly manner.

Second floor, the "Plum" themed private room.

Pushing open the heavy solid wood door completely shuts out the noise.

The shop owner who was dressed casually was sitting at a mahogany round table with several customers in suits.

A whole roasted duck, fresh out of the oven, sits on the table.

The dark red duck skin glistened with oil, and 108 slices of duck meat were stacked layer upon layer on a white porcelain plate, like a blooming flower.

"Mr. Li, please try this." The casually dressed boss personally picked up a lotus leaf pancake, put in two pieces of crispy duck meat, dipped them in sweet bean sauce, rolled it up, and handed it to the customer at the head of the table.

"Old Zhang, you just love doing all this fancy stuff. You dragged me out of the office so early in the morning just to eat roast duck?" Mr. Li took the bread, his tone somewhat dismissive.

He took a bite.

"Click."

A cracking sound rang out in the private room.

Mr. Li froze in his tracks.

The melted duck fat, mixed with the rich sweet bean sauce, explodes on the tongue. The sweet aroma of fruitwood rushes straight to the brain through the nasal cavity.

He suddenly opened his eyes and swallowed the duck meat in his mouth in a few quick movements.

"This duck..." Mr. Li stared at the meat on the plate, his eyes shining.

Old Zhang smiled and poured himself a cup of tea. "So, Mr. Li, is this place sincere enough for discussing business?"

"Enough! That's more than enough!" Mr. Li picked up his chopsticks and rolled up a second pancake himself. "This skill is amazing! Hurry up and get the contract out; let's sign it while we eat!"

The weight lifted from Old Zhang's shoulders.

He knew that the private rooms in this restaurant would become his trump card for winning over big clients.

The kitchen on the first floor.

Lin Fan continued slicing the last roast duck without stopping, and plated it up.

He glanced at the time; it was 12:30 PM.

Today's stock was double that of yesterday, but it still sold out in three and a half hours.

The effects of expanding the store were immediate. Not only did sales double, but the dining experience for customers was also greatly improved.

"Xiaoxiao, put up the sign, it's closing time."

Lin Fan walked to the sink and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

"Okay, Brother Lin." Su Xiaoxiao hung the "Sold Out Today" sign outside the door.

The last few tables of customers left the restaurant satisfied after finishing their meal.

Lin Fan took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

He walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of warm water, and glanced across the empty hall.

This is exactly what he wanted. Not a trendy restaurant that relies on crowds and scarcity marketing to create hype, but a top-tier restaurant that truly retains customers through quality and ambiance.

"Brother Lin, I just did the math."

Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a calculator in her hand, her eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Today, we served over four hundred guests in the main hall and private rooms. That includes the revenue from those twenty roast ducks."

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath: "Our revenue today has exceeded 500,000, reaching a new historical high!"

Record high.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan nodded, his expression remaining calm.

This was all within his expectations.

After all, with the store expanding, a daily turnover of 500,000 is a natural outcome.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Host's daily turnover has exceeded 500,000!]

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the intermediate-level business milestone!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received one free chance to win in the "God-Level Gourmet Lucky Draw"!]
