Chapter Seven: The Taste Experience of Another Time and Space
On the first day, due to numerous promotions and an abundance of tastings, the earnings were minimal, almost negligible. However, the flow of customers was constant, and nearly all of them praised our dishes. Coupled with the impact of the promotional flyers, I believe we have achieved the most basic advertising effect, at least ensuring that a significant portion of the city's residents are aware of the existence of this restaurant in the west of the city, known for its delicious, affordable, and novel offerings.
The most popular dishes include West Lake Vinegar Fish, Oil-Braised Spring Bamboo Shoots, Prawn Crackling, and Stir-Fried Vegetables with Mushrooms, all of which are delicious and reasonably priced dishes
Zhiweiguan has opened
Of course, I did some work before the opening
Finally, considering that the establishment is aimed at the general public, it is not suitable to have a name that is overly elegant or sophisticated. Therefore, the name is chosen as "Zhiwei Guan"
We discussed naming for a long time. My intention is to make it more innovative, while Yueren hopes for a stronger cultural flavor
I asked Yue Ren to find many people who can write to create flyers, which include the prices of some of our dishes, an introduction to our establishment, and some promotional activities
Is there anyone in the world who finds being a small restaurant owner easier than I do at https://m.hetushu.com
He sat across from the stone table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "You ... ... guess"
What did you study for those nine years? Business? Such a curious little one... How annoying, asking me the question I least want to answer
Yue Ren is living the most carefree life, in a peaceful era, in a Hangzhou city that is even more peaceful than the peaceful era itself. He lives each day like a pig, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, occasionally strolling into my little shop with his doll-like face... and then I drag him off to do hard labor.
My establishment adopts the operational model of a modern fast-food restaurant, with menus on the tables and various condiments available. After placing an order, customers are required to pay before receiving their food (in ancient times, many people would enjoy a meal without paying, or would get into fights and neglect to settle their bills; I firmly oppose such behavior)
The future people have won
Thus, I wrote down the names of famous restaurants in Hangzhou such as "Louwailou," "Zhiweiguan," "Kuiyuanguan," "Caizhizhai," and "Jiubaowan," and tossed them to let them choose for themselves
The concept of taking things for granted and the "Taste of Books" has recently become the number one topic among ancient people leading a monotonous leisure life.
He glared and leaned back in his chair, feeling quite dejected, "How do you know? Do I still have to go to the teahouse to listen?"
"Mingqi, did you really not discuss this with anyone?" Yue Ren glanced at me sideways with a cup of tea in hand, his face full of doubt
Considering that many ideas may be copied by other stores, we have only included discount promotions and full-amount discounts. As for other promotions, we will use surprise offers to keep customers pleasantly surprised
How vulgar, how could they come up with this
For example, there is a different featured dish on discount every day. If you spend a certain amount, you can receive a discount. The first batch of customers will also receive a membership card, which entitles them to a 20% discount on all purchases. This card is valid for 1 year, and after one year, you can pay to extend its validity. Additionally, various promotional activities will be held periodically.
Yue Ren sighed in regret, wondering why he hadn't suggested that I hold a poetry gathering back then, which would have certainly brought me fame! I chuckled to myself in the corner

Tianshou used candied hawthorns as bait, gathering many friends to distribute flyers. The scope was extensive, covering the entire He * Tu * Book City. I couldn't help but lament that children in ancient times had fewer entertainment activities; they could only have fun when together. Unlike modern children, who often engage in PC games, battling and competing, which are bloody and meaningless. Ancient children had many friends, and there was no profit motive; they shared their hearts and were genuine.
The work began unexpectedly easily; I had thought I would be overwhelmed with busyness. However, Yue Ren took out his private savings to hire many cooks for me, all of whom were simple farmers from nearby villages. Those who could no longer do heavy labor came to apply. They handled the cooking and fire control, while the seasoning, sauce preparation, and ingredient pairing were my responsibilities. I only needed to keep mixing the seasonings and give verbal instructions.
I am 17 years old this year. I studied for nine years before this, played house for three years before that, and before that, I couldn't even recognize a single character. What do you think I can do? Reflecting on the painful struggles in the sea of learning, I can't help but feel a bit sorrowful. The beautiful high school life, the free university life, I am separated from you all by the realms of life and death
October 30, the day of the grand opening
I continued to design the menu, secretly finding his earlier antics amusing, "Because that is what I hoped for. I was merely checking whether the operations of the Taste View as seen in the - picture - book met the expected results."
Yue Ren has been lamenting these past few days about the people he has entrusted, saying that I am a cunning merchant in the world, absolutely someone who has fought for money.
It cannot be described as unprecedented; it can only be said to be a sea of people
A takeaway section is also set up in a corner of the store, where some dishes that are convenient for takeout can be purchased for home consumption. However, due to insufficient human resources, I am currently not offering home delivery services
Just yesterday, someone came to bribe our cook to fix Mom.
The bird that stands out gets shot, and my unavoidable flamboyance has also drawn the attention of other shops
Mingqi, do you know? Right now, Zhiweiguan is enjoying unprecedented prosperity
The small Zhiweiguan is gradually reaching its peak, operating smoothly, even though it is merely a small restaurant that can accommodate just over 30 people. However, it is fully booked every day, leaving me and the cooks overwhelmed with busyness
My task for Yue Ren was to go to some large teahouses in Hangzhou to gather information. After he went missing for a few days, he ran into our shop's backyard like a child, beaming with a bright smile and shouting loudly
All the dishes are styles that people in this time and space have never heard of. To prevent running out of stock in the future, I deliberately prepared only a few exquisite dishes, making them unforgettable and leaving others wanting more, in order to prepare for future innovations.
Let me carry forward the renowned establishment, Zhiweiguan, in this time and space
Isn't it just innovative, affordable, delicious, practical, and worth a visit? I thought for a moment and tentatively replied
A historic moment, the renowned restaurant Zhiwei Guan from another time and space in Hangzhou has begun its journey
I am feeling frustrated; these methods could be applied by anyone in modern times, but the key issue is whether the necessary conditions are present
"Learn everything except how to make money." I finished the last stroke, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen
Is that so? How do you say it? I put down the newly designed menu in my hands and asked with great interest
As the third place in the imperial examination, I have the most authority to speak on the matter of naming, and it seems that the three young men under my command also agree with the name "Yue Shi Ju" proposed by Yue Ren
Additionally, there are some northern snacks that are rarely found in the south, such as noodle dumplings, lamb paomo, and layered oil cakes
I shamelessly asked Yue Ren to write a plaque to hang up
