Chapter 714 farewell banquet, buffet
The next day, Bai Ruozhu began to prepare for leaving Beiyucheng. She packed and sealed the mud from the pond with disinfected porcelain bottles, and then handed it over to Fang Guizhi.
"This production process is very complicated. It is difficult to master if you are not familiar with pharmacology. I made more, which should be enough for two months of dosage, but you must get the Donggong and cannot be taken away." Bai Ruozhu could only make a lie. She couldn't even make the Baixuan Jade Paste herself, so how could she teach Guizhi?
In order not to arouse suspicion, she did not teach Guizhi how to make pearl jade frost. The same reason was that the process was too complicated, she also prepared many bottles of pearl jade frost for Guizhi, and told her to look at things well.
Guizhi put away everything carefully, but was not very relieved, so she only brought a bottle to the hot spring farm and said that she would come back to get it when it was almost used.
Bai Ruozhu nodded, and she felt that the guinea twig was much more mature than before.
Then, she went to meet Chen Lu and told her that she was going to Beijing. Chen Lu hurriedly asked, "Are you staying there or will you come back soon?"
"I'll be back in one or two months." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.
"I'm going to go to the Beijing-based guest reception soon. I wonder if we can meet you." Chen Lu said with a smile.
Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought of an old saying and said, "I will meet you if you are destined to do so."
Chen Lu smiled, "We are indeed destined to be. I heard that you have become Elder Lin's disciple."
Bai Ruozhu saw Chen Lu smile like a fox, and suddenly showed a sudden look, "Are you a member of my master?"
"Haha, then you just discovered it now? I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but my identity is just average." Chen Lu said with a joke.
Bai Ruozhu guessed that Chen Lu must have more than the first level of the Chamber of Commerce, and there must be other backers behind him, otherwise even the Chamber of Commerce would have swallowed up his welcome.
After chatting for a while, she quickly got to the point and said, "Old Shen, I want to hold a farewell banquet before I leave, so I plan to welcome guests. The fee is calculated for me, and I will invite you to come and sit there."
When Chen Lu heard this, he was naturally willing, and he was just from the backyard to the front yard, so what was he unwilling to do?
"That's all the cost, it's the gift I gave you. You can also start a business in our restaurant." Chen Lu said.
Bai Ruozhu naturally wanted to spend money. She thought for a while and said, "I have a way. If we do it this time, we will use it to welcome guests in the future, which can be considered as my contribution to the restaurant."
Chen Lu knew that Bai Ruozhu had many ideas, and suddenly became energetic, "What method?"
"Buffet." Bai Ruozhu said with pride and then introduced the buffet form to Chen Lu. Then he said what to prepare, how to furnish the store on that day, etc., and then said that it would take up an hour and a half in noon five days to welcome guests and not pick up other guests.
One and a half hours are three hours, and the buffet is definitely long enough.
Chen Lu heard it very strangely, and he had never heard of such a method.
"You're welcome. If we open business, customers can eat without limit. Wouldn't it be a loss?" Chen Lu asked with some concern.
"So I didn't ask you to change the restaurant to a buffet, just on the first day of the month and the fifteenth day. Let's talk about giving back to old customers. Only old customers can set the location a few days in advance, and the number of people entering the venue is also limited. As for the price, it is definitely not low. For example, how much is a table of banquets for ten people on weekdays? Calculate how much a person can spread it to, and then add 30% appropriately. Think about it, the guests here are either rich or noble, how many can be opened and eaten without stopping?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.
"Of course there are other requirements. For example, such a buffet is only one hour. With time limit, how much can the guests eat? As for the precious dishes we offer unlimited, there must be a limited amount. For example, stewed bird's nest, one person can only take one cup at a time, and then take it again after eating. The table is naturally placed at the farthest from the seat. In addition, if you hang the poem "Hoe" on the wall, reminding guests not to waste it."
Chen Lu felt that Bai Ruozhu was very sarcastic, and couldn't help asking: "Is it okay to have a round table and have a banquet? Why is it difficult to do this?"
"You think, for example, I invited many friends to come, but one table can only be ten people. It is not good if I don't sit with you or do it with her, right? And it is not convenient to talk from a table, unless the owner goes to toast, you can go to another table to speak. And it is also said to the person on the table. Don't you want the people present to speak more freely? Without restraint?"
Chen Lu deserves to be an old fox. He soon heard the trick and kept nodding and said, "Okay, I have prepared all the items in the past few days for you to see."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen. Then you can see how the effect is, and then consider whether you should use it for the welcome guests." Bai Ruozhu said again.
Chen Lu stroked his beard and said with some emotion: "How did you think your head is growing? Why do you have so many tricks?"
Bai Ruozhu said embarrassedly: "This is not something I created myself. I once heard from a businessman who has been to a Western country that Westerners like to hold this kind of buffet on the grasslands with good weather, but it is more of afternoon tea time, and the scene is very pleasant. Maybe after welcoming guests, we can help some residences with this kind of banquet."
"Okay, okay, I'm already looking forward to seeing the results." Chen Lu said sincerely.
Then Bai Ruozhu said goodbye to the Hua Xiangrong Weaving Museum. The shop's business was pretty good. She went in and served Lai Fusao for a while to entertain guests.
After a while, Mrs. Liu, who rented a shop for Bai Ruozhu, came and said to Bai Ruozhu with a smile: "Ruozhu, I'm just looking for you, and you happen to be here, so I won't run around."
"What, is there anything wrong?" Bai Ruozhu asked with a smile.
Mrs. Liu still had a smile on her face, but her tone was already very stiff. "This shop said to rent it to you, but now I am temporarily useful and can't rent it anymore. As for the contract that is terminated before it expires, I will pay you the money."
Bai Ruozhu and Lai Fu's wife were both stunned. The business just started and she said that the shop would not be rented. What does this mean?
"Madam Liu, have you encountered any difficult things? You might as well tell me, maybe I can help you." Bai Ruozhu asked tentatively.
"I used to want to rent it because I couldn't continue my business, but now my sister-in-law is going to do business. The shop has to give it to her as a dowry soon, so I can't do anything about it. Let's get together and leave, so don't make things difficult for me. Why don't you rent it to another family?" Mrs. Liu said and fanned it with a veil, as if a little impatient.
Bai Ruozhu's expression became darker. It turns out that this is a rhythm of turning against each other?
