Chapter 114 Business is booming
I have to say that Uncle Liu really gave me face.
I originally thought that Uncle Liu would only bring my aunt with him, but I didn't expect that there were a few elderly people around.
Judging from the way they get along with each other, you can tell that these people probably had a high status before they retired.
Didn’t you see that Director Niu, who had just walked in, stopped and greeted the people coming behind him respectfully?
However, Lu Hai didn't have time to continue chatting with them.
After all, more and more people are coming into this store now.
Obviously, they were attracted by the piece of meat given by the boss.
In everyone's opinion, it's not a loss to buy a pound of beef for this extra dollar, right?
Therefore, Lu Hai could only send the few people to the box, bowed and said goodbye, and then went to the front door to welcome the guests.
No one paid much attention to it. Uncle Liu and his friends didn't want to get involved in anything after retirement, so they just chatted with Director Niu and his juniors for a few minutes and then sat in the box by themselves.
Lu Hai, who was standing at the door, soon saw Liu Guowei driving over.
There were a few other people with him.
"Brother Lu, good luck with your opening."
"Brother Liu, you are late. You will have to drink three cups as punishment later."
"Haha, every time we drank before, you were the first to give in. What's the matter? Are you tough today?"
"Before, we were all here to go home, but today is different. At worst, we can just sleep in the store."
"Okay, then when you're done, come find me. We haven't had a drink together in a while." Liu Guowei also saw the flow of people in the store and knew that Lu Hai might not be free now.
"Okay, I'll come find you later."
After saying that, Lu Hai led a few people to the box.
Then he told people to serve them the food and put the pot on.
Soon, the soup bases from several private rooms came up.
The fragrance spread instantly, and everyone's eyes lit up when they smelled it.
I have to say that this hot pot restaurant run by Lu Hai is really something.
As for hot pot, naturally there is no need to teach you, after all, few people don’t know how to eat hot pot.
Because the beef here at Lu Hai is marinated in advance, the taste is naturally unique.
After the meat was cooked, everyone praised it after taking a bite.
Moreover, Lu Hai also prepares a variety of different dipping sauces.
Even the godfather’s dipping sauce was prepared just for them to go with the meat.
Of course, the northerners’ favorite sesame paste is also there.
It can be said that anyone who enters the store will be conquered by the meat in Lu Hai store after taking the first bite.
Moreover, because people have a good appetite these days, they eat as much as they want, and a pound of meat will probably be gone in no time.
Therefore, the first customers who entered the store quickly finished the free portion of meat, but their gluttonous stomachs were not satisfied.
It's already time for dinner, how can it be enough to just eat this little bit?
So, people started placing orders soon.
When everyone saw that the meat Lu Hai sent was only two yuan per portion, they were all stunned.
Of course, I don’t think it’s expensive, but I think it’s very affordable.
After all, in some high-end restaurants, this portion of meat costs more than 2 yuan.
Not only are the portions here at Lu Hai generous, but the taste is also really good.
So, naturally, I ordered two more without hesitation.
Although the meat is a bit expensive, after all, it is only 2 yuan per serving, and not everyone can afford it.
But there is something else here on Luhai.
Of course we also have pork belly, chicken and other things, which are slightly cheaper than beef.
There are also other vegetables, such as potatoes and lettuce.
There are also tofu vermicelli, fried bean curd sheets, etc. There are all kinds of food, so you don’t have to worry about others not being able to order what they like.
So, everyone enjoyed the two portions of meat plus some other dishes.
Moreover, Lu Hai also has drinks and wine, plus the kumquat lemonade that Lu Hai made himself. After eating, they can take a sip to relieve the greasiness. Everyone has only one thought in their mind, and that is comfort.
The atmosphere here is also very good. Everyone sitting together knows each other. After eating, they chat and drink some wine.
Besides, you need some snacks to go with your conversation and drinking, right?
Hey, do you know about some snacks like cold cucumber and peanuts that can go with alcohol?
So, before long, there was a wave of requests for more wine and food in the restaurant.
Moreover, the lively atmosphere in the store, the full seats, and the fragrance wafting from the store.
I also saw a sign at the door saying that if you order a hotpot base, you will get a pound of beef for free. Plus, the prices on the menu were a bit expensive for many people.
But that's just meat. Vegetables like these would only cost a few cents per portion at most.
It would probably cost three or four dollars, or four or five dollars for a meal, but it was no problem to eat there once or twice a month, so they all came in curiously.
But once you come in, hey, guess what?
Add wine and food!
After a quiet start to the business not long after it opened, Lu Hai and his colleagues became so busy that they couldn't stop.
It can be said that he has to do everything from cutting vegetables, serving food, to collecting cash.
Several people were so busy that they felt like they were about to fly.
After lunch time had finally passed, the number of people gradually decreased and the few people were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Director Niu and his entourage came out of the box with beaming faces.
Looking at their bloated bellies, I knew that they all enjoyed the meal very much.
However, Lu Hai still smiled and asked, "Director Niu, have you finished your meal?"
"Have you eaten, young comrade? The food here is really delicious, even better than the state-owned guesthouses we went to before." Director Niu replied with a smile.
"Our small business cannot compete with the national business. I guess this is your first time eating it and you want to try it for fun. If you eat it often, you probably won't think so." Lu Hai said.
"Young comrade, it's not good to be too modest." Director Niu retorted, but he was still very satisfied with Lu Hai's humble attitude.
"It's getting late, let's pay the bill. I have things to do when I get back."
"What bill do you want to pay? I invited you here to support the party, so how can I ask you to pay? This meal is on me." Lu Hai replied.
"What?" Director Niu was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and saw that Lu Hai did not reject his kindness.
"Then I won't be polite. Thank you for your kindness, comrade."
"Director Niu, you are being too polite. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to open this store." Lu Hai waved his hand quickly, "If you really want to thank me, then help me promote it more. Come back next time and I'll give you a discount."
"Hahaha, of course. I'll leave first then." Director Niu naturally did not refuse. It was just a matter of a word for him anyway, and it didn't matter where they went to eat, right?
"Okay, Director Niu, take care."
