Chapter 518 "Xiang Shabu-shabu" Hot Pot Restaurant
The next morning, Zheng Sisi learned the effect of trying on the down jacket.
Sure enough, it was very warm after putting it on, and just as Mrs. Zheng said, she actually got up in the middle of the night and changed to a thinner quilt.
After hearing the result, Zheng Sisi felt relieved and immediately notified the cloth shop that they could start mass production of down jackets.
Due to the need to select and dry duck feathers, the cloth shop was seriously short of staff, so she recruited a group of workers nearby. After all, this kind of work was relatively easy and many women could do it.
Therefore, the cloth shop not only retained the original embroiderers, but also hired more than 20 women to clean the duck feathers.
As a result, the status of many women has been significantly improved. Because they are able to earn money through their own labor, their backs have become straighter and their voice in the family has increased a lot.
Zheng Sisi did not realize that her unintentional actions had such a positive impact on these women.
With the launch of down jackets, the shopkeeper specially made a set of down jackets for each of the female employees in the store and asked them to wear them for promotion. This move made down jackets quickly occupy a certain market share in Beijing.
Zheng Sisi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the shopkeeper, because she just gave a brief reminder but did not expect that the shopkeeper would think of letting the waiters act as models.
This kind of personal demonstration promotion method is more attractive and persuasive than simple verbal sales, and these down jackets are designed to be slim-fitting, so they have been warmly sought after by everyone.
Especially those ladies and young ladies who like to dress up, in winter, in order to avoid looking fat and to show their beauty, they wear thin clothes.
Even though they brought hand warmers with them when they went out, they still felt unbearably cold. Now, down jackets have been introduced and are greatly loved by them. Therefore, down jackets have quickly become popular.
After finishing the down jacket business, the hot pot restaurant was also renovated. With the experience of opening many stores before, everyone was already able to do things with ease.
Seeing the beautifully decorated hot pot restaurant with neatly arranged tables and chairs, Zheng Sisi praised the staff for their ability. She felt that she didn't have to worry about anything and could just sit back and enjoy the results.
With only one day left before the opening of the hot pot restaurant, Zheng Sisi decided to let all employees officially take up their posts. Since they had already been trained in the early stage, this time they would put the staff into actual operation.
Several managers of the hot pot restaurant were transferred from the Yingbin Building and the Food Court. Among them, Hu Zi used to work in the Yingbin Building. He was transferred to the hot pot restaurant as the front desk supervisor, which made him ecstatic. He never thought that he would have such a glorious moment.
In practice, Zheng Sisi invited some relatives and friends to warm up the atmosphere and provide services according to the normal reception process.
After the guests have finished their meals, the staff can order dishes according to their personal preferences and experience hot pot for free. In this way, the staff can accumulate practical experience and better serve the guests.
While eating, Zhong Ruiyu finally understood what the spoon with small holes was for. When he saw Zheng Sisi skillfully using the colander to scoop up the cooked food from the pot, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Sisi is really creative!"
This time, we invited relatives and friends to warm up the atmosphere. The new dining style of the hot pot restaurant opened everyone's eyes. It turns out that dishes can be eaten in this way. In particular, the two uncles and cousins who have not left Beijing were the most excited.
"Why didn't we think of eating in this way in the North in winter? This way the food won't get cold and you'll be warm after eating."
Duke Zheng reminded, "You can use it when you go back to save the soldiers and civilians in the north from suffering. Sisi also has a method for building earthen kangs. I will give it to you when you leave Beijing."
The old father had returned to Beijing for many years but still remembered the soldiers and people in the north, which moved the few people deeply.
On the day the hot pot restaurant opened, there was no need for these friends and relatives to help with publicity and promotion. The store was already full of guests and business was booming.
Later we learned that it was because everyone heard that this store was a gourmet food store opened by Princess Anping, so they had been waiting for a long time and would send people every day to inquire when it would open, all wanting to come and try something new.
Princess Anping certainly would not let everyone down. She really let everyone taste the freshness, because this was an unprecedented way of eating - the raw ingredients were directly served on the table, and the customers could eat them themselves.
This novel way of eating immediately caused a sensation and attracted more people to pay attention and try it.
Since then, the "Xiangshuanfang" hot pot restaurant has quickly become a hot topic in Beijing for its unique taste and novel dining method.
