Chapter 793: Not quite yet
Facts have proved that if you want to attract customers to the porridge shop on a hot afternoon, you only need to write four words on the publicity sign at the door that the air conditioner is on.
With these four unique and charming characters, the first floor of the porridge shop was quickly filled up, and even the second floor was occupied by many customers. After the number of guests gradually increased, the Han Guishan family quietly left, leaving empty tables for the guests behind them.
In the afternoon, the best sellers are naturally mung bean soup and various juice ice drinks.
It only takes 20 minutes to cook a pot of mung bean soup. Add ice and chill for up to half an hour to turn it into iced mung beans. Most of the guests who come in order one or two bowls of iced mung beans, plus at most two snacks, and chat while eating, blowing on the air conditioner, and spending a leisurely and pleasant afternoon tea time.
There are also some customers who pack a few snacks and two cups of mung bean soup before leaving. They drink the mung bean soup while walking and take the snacks back to eat. They do not occupy seats but also increase sales and strive to become high-quality customers.
But this is not enough.
Not nearly enough.
Jiang Feng and the other two knew very well that the gap between them and other restaurants was not just a few hundred points but thousands of points, it could be one or two thousand or three or four thousand. They didn't know exactly how big the gap was. But one thing that is certain is that if they can be one or two thousand points higher than other stores today to even out the previous gap, they will be very confident that they can qualify in the next competition.
One or two thousand points higher, not getting one or two thousand points.
That means that nearly a thousand dishes need to be sold today.
Jiang Feng did the math. As of 4:20, including takeaways and takeaways, the store had sold more than 160 portions of iced mung beans, more than 40 portions of dim sum, seven portions of cold dishes, 19 portions of stir-fries, and twenty-four portions. Porridge and a dozen other drinks.
The main reason why mung bean soup sells so much is because the average person drinks more than two bowls of mung bean soup.
In fact, this sales volume is already very good. Calculated by three times the points, Tai Feng Building has now obtained more than 700 points, which is basically the total points obtained in the previous few days.
But it's still not enough.
Jiang Feng glanced at his phone, it was four twenty-six.
There are still five hours and thirty-four minutes left before the end of the test.
There is also an evening rush hour.
but.
Jiang Feng raised his head and glanced at the store. It was very lively. In order to maintain normal business, the program team sent two more staff to serve as waiters. Now the porridge shop has two waiters upstairs and two downstairs.
The porridge shop is almost full.
Table turnover rate is probably the biggest headache for every popular Chinese restaurant. Store owners can't drive customers away, but they really want to let them go.
There is only so much prime dining time. If a customer sits in a restaurant for an hour or two and can only turn tables once during a peak dining period, then the restaurant will most likely be difficult to make a profit.
When Jiang Jiankang opened a healthy snack in City Z in his early years, there was no air conditioning in the store due to lack of funds in the early days. There were only a few old electric fans spinning, and the wind blown out was negligible. In the hot summer, the table turnover rate in the store is extremely high, and basically no customer can last ten minutes with healthy snacks.
Jiang Feng once felt that if Jiang Jiankang's craftsmanship was not among the best in Z City at that time, Healthy Snacks would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could he have waited until Jiang Jiankang saved up the money to buy an air conditioner.
Jiang Feng almost wanted to turn off the air conditioner, saying it was an air conditioner failure.
But obviously he can't do this. The customers in the store are attracted by the turning on of the air conditioner. If the air conditioning is not turned on, he will have no customers.
"Fengfeng, do you need to cook two more pots of mung bean soup?" Wu Minqi asked.
"Just boil it in one pot." Jiang Feng said.
"The second floor should be almost full." Sun Maocai, who had been quietly making snacks, suddenly said.
Jiang Feng nodded: "It should be soon."
"How many dishes have we sold now?" Sun Maocai asked again.
"Almost seven hundred cents, and there is still an evening peak. If this trend continues, we should be able to sell it for about two thousand cents today." Jiang Feng said this, but the expression on his face did not look very happy.
The business is already very good. It can even be said that it has been completely transformed since the promotional sign was put out. Maybe now the program team has begun to secretly investigate whether Tai Feng House spends money to buy customers.
But Jiang Feng always felt that something was missing.
It shouldn't be.
Fortunately for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the current business is still far from being PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Logically speaking, the lucky buff cannot be so weak. In theory, the lucky buff should be the most powerful buff.
Just when Jiang Feng was wondering what was wrong and how to survive in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, two more guests walked in.
There were two girls. One of them, a girl with short hair and a fat figure, was holding her mobile phone as if watching a video. As soon as she came in, she said loudly and exaggeratedly: "Wow, it's so cool!"
The sound was so loud that Jiang Feng, who was in the kitchen through a layer of glass, heard it.
The short-haired girl also realized her gaffe. She grabbed her phone and looked up at the menu. She then turned her head to look at the guests at other tables and said, "Two bowls of mung bean soup. Are there any seats upstairs?"
"Yes." The waiter smiled.
"Let me see again, what kind of snacks are they eating? What is the specialty of your store?" The short-haired girl put down her hand holding the phone, and her fingers accidentally touched the screen, causing the live broadcast on the phone interface to cut to another place. A live broadcast.
"Today's shrimp dumplings and egg yolk siomai are selling well." The waiter said with a smile.
"Then let's have another basket of shrimp dumplings." The short-haired girl said cheerfully, picking up her phone and about to pay.
When I noticed that the live broadcast interface had switched to another one, another girl with short hair frowned and was about to exit when she was stopped by the girl next to her.
"Hey, isn't this the recently popular mukbang? She is in Peiping now. I also ate at the restaurant she went to last time. It was quite delicious." The girl next to her pointed at the screen of her mobile phone. With an excited look on his face, he said, "She is live broadcasting now. How about we watch it and then go to her restaurant for dinner later."
The short-haired girl exited the live broadcast interface and scanned the QR code to pay: "What's so interesting about mukbang? I think the most boring thing is mukbang. Haven't you watched the news now? It's so fake. It's either fake eating or vomiting. It's just a waste of food." .”
"But I feel like she doesn't eat a lot, just twice as much as us normal people. She has been on trending searches for eating too much before, so she must be really eating." The girl who was traveling with her said that she quite liked this. I'm a foodie, so I made two excuses.
"It's all for show. How can a normal person go on the trending search just because she's full? She must have bought it." The short-haired girl looked determined, re-clicked the live broadcast interface, and switched back to the live broadcast she had watched earlier.
In fact, if she stayed on the live broadcast interface just now for a few seconds, she would find that this so-called mukbang was less than ten meters away from her.
Outside the porridge shop——
Liu Qian raised her cell phone and looked up at a porridge shop that looked ordinary, but seemed to have a lot of customers inside. The sign at the door looked very familiar, and the words on it looked familiar.
"It's really hot this afternoon. After shopping in this snack street for more than an hour, I feel like I can't even eat. Why don't we go into the porridge shop and drink something to cool down." Liu Qian said. Walking towards the porridge shop, I didn't forget to say something before going in.
"Actually, the characters on the sign at the door are a bit like the characters of my classmates in the former club. The character for porridge is quite similar to the characters of our president. I don’t know if there are any friends in the live broadcast room who remember our president. Let me tell you. The porridge made by our president is so delicious. No porridge shop has ever made porridge as delicious as our president’s porridge.”
"Come, let's go in and see how the porridge in this porridge shop is cooking." There will be more in the evening (expected to be after twelve o'clock)
