Chapter 1226: Hot Business

Tu Yue was silent for a while: "Now I know why your business is so good. You really put your heart into it."

“My area is remote. If I don’t put in the effort, I’m afraid I won’t get any business, and all my initial investment will be wasted,” Shen Xuening said seriously. “Seriously speaking, doing business requires dedication; it’s our duty.”

Tu Yue felt as if she had been enlightened: "Xue Ning, I understand."

Shen Xuening handed the chopsticks to Tu Yue: "Try it, the hot pot here is no worse than the one at our restaurant."

Tu Yue nodded happily: "Okay."

Zhou Wen, sitting to Shen Xuening's right, couldn't help but say, "Blogger, if the food here is good, I'll definitely come here often in the future."

Shen Xuening said, "The taste will definitely be the same, please don't worry about that."

Smelling the incredibly enticing aroma, Zhou Wen asked, "What kind of hot pot base are we having today?"

"The most classic spicy beef tallow broth is available here, but this one is mildly spicy, which can satisfy everyone's taste," Shen Xuening said. "The beef tallow comes from my own cattle, as does the lard. You could say that everything in this shop is a replica of the original. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

Zhou Wen smiled and said, "I already feel safe just by smelling this fragrance."

Shen Xuening said, "Eat more later."

Zhou Wen nodded: "Mm."

The oil was bubbling and bubbling in the pot, it was time to add the ingredients. Everyone made their own dipping sauces and started cooking their favorite ingredients, enjoying the meal immensely.

Shen Xuening hadn't had hot pot for quite some time, and now that she was eating it, she felt it tasted even better than before.

Tu Yue exclaimed in amazement, "It's better than any hot pot I've ever had! Xue Ning, I'll definitely bring my friends here to try it!"

Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "You're most welcome."

Zhou Wen was also amazed: "Blogger, it's delicious, so delicious! I'll definitely bring my friends over to try it in a few days."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "You're welcome too."

"This beef is so tender, and it really tastes like beef."

"This Five-White Soup is so delicious! It's full of the aroma of grains, making me feel like I'm in nature. It's the first time I've ever had such a fragrant soup."

"This shiitake mushroom smells so good! It's the first time I've ever smelled shiitake mushrooms before. It's so amazing."

"Every dish was delicious, fresh and flavorful, and you could really taste the original flavor of the ingredients. It's so rare."

"This tea is delicious. I thought it was spicy, but after one sip it wasn't spicy at all. It's refreshing and clean, which is amazing."

"..."

Everyone ate while praising the deliciousness of the hot pot and ingredients; it was simply unbeatable.

Tu Yue picked up a persimmon and ate it: "Did you grow these persimmons yourself?"

Shen Xuening replied truthfully, "No, these were purchased from elsewhere. My area is a mountainous region where many people grow fruit. We used to sell to fruit vendors, but business has been bad these past few years, so the fruit vendors have stopped coming. They sell their fruit to me instead. If the fruit is good, I'll buy it; if it's not, I won't sell it."

Tu Yue smiled and said, "So the fruit we're eating now is carefully selected."

Shen Xuening said, "Of course, if it doesn't taste good, I definitely won't put it in the shop."

Tu Yue asked, "My hotel also needs to provide fruit. The fruit here is much tastier than the fruit I have. Could you sell me some? By the way, how much do you buy the fruit for per pound?"

Shen Xuening said honestly, "If you want fruit, just buy it from me. You can also buy vegetables from me. It will definitely be much cheaper if you buy from me. If you buy from me, I will definitely try to make a profit, and you will lose out."

Tu Yue shook her head: "But the ones you selected are even better."

Shen Xuening couldn't help but smile: "You... I can't refute that."

Tu Yue chuckled: "So, am I right?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and then said, "I still suggest you choose the fruit yourself. If you're not comfortable with that, you can come with me to choose fruit from an orchard."

Tu Yue's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."

Shen Xuening said, "If you need to buy fruit or ingredients in the future, you can contact me and I can introduce you to suppliers."

Tu Yue nodded happily: "Okay, I understand."

More and more people in Maoling are returning to their hometowns to grow vegetables, fruit trees, and spices. The demand from her factory is ultimately limited. If she wants to sell more products, she will definitely need to bring in buyers from other places. Once she reaches a certain scale, the buyers will come on their own without her having to ask anyone else.

Everyone chatted and ate hot pot, and it took them two or three hours to finish.

After finishing their meal, the store manager and the staff cleaned up together, while Shen Xuening went to upgrade the store's various electronic devices. The store would officially open tomorrow, and everything needed to be prepared today.

I was busy until after 5 p.m., and finally I finished.

Tu Yue said admiringly, "Xue Ning, I didn't know you could write code. Are you that good?"

Shen Xuening didn't think it was a big deal, and acted as if it were a normal thing: "You can come to me if you need anything like this in the future."

Tu Yue said, "I'll remember that."

Shen Xuening promised, "I will definitely help you whenever I have time."

Shen Yingying asked, "Sister, it's getting dark soon, where are we going next?"

Tu Yue continued, "You've come all this way to G City, so I should at least do something for you. How about this: I'll take you out to eat first, and then we'll go to Bogu Square to see a performance?"

Shen Xuening looked interested: "Okay, let me see if your performance can give me some inspiration so I can make some improvements on my end."

Tu Yue said happily, "Then it's settled. Come with me."

Shen Xuening gave the store manager some instructions, and then the group followed Tu Yue downstairs.

Tu Yue took them to a specialty restaurant for a meal. Everyone had eaten much better hot pot before, so the specialty restaurant seemed a bit ordinary. After a light meal, the group went to Bogu Square.

It's already dark, and preparations are underway for the performance at Bogu Square.

Shen Xuening asked, "Are there always performances here?"

Tu Yue shook her head: "No, it's only on Saturday night. There will be a lot of people here that night, and the performances will be all kinds of different. You can check it out later."

Shen Xuening pondered and said, "If it's a performance at night, then it will most likely need to include some firelight or color?"

Tu Yue thought Shen Xuening was very knowledgeable: "Yes, I heard there will be a fire lion show and a fire tiger show tonight."

Shen Xuening nodded, looking somewhat expectant: "I haven't seen these two performances before, I'll take a good look at them later."

Shen Baohong took out his phone and searched, and quickly learned that the fire lion and fire tiger performances are the same type of performance as the iron flower performance, but with more movements. If the performers are more skilled, the performances will be more entertaining, and they are also a kind of intangible cultural heritage.

"Xue Ning, look."

Shen Xuening turned her head to look: "Let's see if the live performance is really that amazing. If it is, we can invite someone to perform during the Chinese New Year."

Shen Baohong said, "That's a good idea. Having these performances during the Spring Festival will definitely make it more lively."

There are already dancers preparing in the square, and their performance looks quite impressive.

Tu Yue went and bought some milk tea: "One cup each."

Everyone took their milk tea and said thank you: "Thank you."

Tu Yue smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? We're all family. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll take you there."

The performance began shortly afterward.

The third performance was the fire lion dance that Tu Yue had mentioned. The performer held up a lion-shaped prop, and as the performance shook, sparks flew in all directions, making it look dazzling and beautiful.

Tu Yue asked Shen Xuening in a low voice, "How is it?"

Shen Xuening knew that such a performance was not easy, and gave it high praise: "It's very good, very creative."

Tu Yue said, "These people have to train every day, it's very hard for them."

Shen Xuening understands these things: "They definitely need to train, otherwise how can they present the best side? And their performances can't afford to make mistakes, otherwise they'll hurt themselves and others."

Tu Yue seized the opportunity to ask, "Does your arts troupe also practice frequently?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "They have to train every day and choreograph dances, it's very hard work."

Tu Yue was impressed and praised, "No wonder the people in your art troupe are paid so much. It's only right."

Shen Xuening's experience is different from others. She is very kind and generous to her employees. Working under her, hard work will be rewarded: "The high salary is all due to their hard work."

Tu Yue said, "I think I should learn management from you so that my employees can work harder too."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "As long as the work is linked to money, their enthusiasm will naturally be stronger."

Tu Yue glanced at Shen Xuening and understood what she meant.

The Fire Tiger show was the last performance. It was similar to the Fire Lion show, but much more difficult and more entertaining. During the performance, the children cheered and shouted encouragement.

Tu Yue asked Shen Xuening, "Xuening, what do you think?"

“Very good.” Shen Xuening answered honestly, “They worked very hard and the show was well done. I’ll go back and discuss it with them to see if they can perform. If they can, I’ll have them train. If not, I’ll invite someone else to perform.”

Tu Yue couldn't help but feel longing: "I'll go to your place for the Chinese New Year."

Shen Xuening readily replied, "Okay, I'll definitely treat you well."

Tu Yue said, "Then I'll take a look at the plans. If I have time, I'll come to your place during the Chinese New Year."

After watching the performance, Tu Yue took them back to their hotel.

Back at the hotel, Shen Baohong immediately edited a video to announce the upcoming opening of the branch, essentially serving as an advertisement.

"G City? Isn't that my city? And what's with all this talk about going out for hot pot tomorrow? I've been missing it for ages."

"Oh my god, Xifulai Hot Pot has opened in G City? How lucky!"

"Let's make a date! I've been craving that taste for ages. Let's go for hot pot tomorrow."

……

On August 25th, the third branch of Xifulai Hot Pot officially opened.

Thanks to the promotional videos and the word-of-mouth recommendations from the customers I met yesterday, there were so many people coming to eat hot pot today. Before 9:30, the entrance to the hot pot restaurant was already packed with people, noisy and crowded.

The shop opened at eight o'clock, but did not start business. Now that people have arrived, the staff still invited them into the shop to participate in the opening ceremony.

The shop was decorated with red flowers, red silk, and many potted plants, creating a very festive atmosphere.

The opening ceremony was hosted by the store manager. Shen Xuening and the others arrived early and were sitting on the side waiting for the ceremony.

The ceremony started at 9:30 and lasted for about half an hour. After it ended, we could serve everyone a meal.

The store manager walked to the center of the store and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, welcome to the third branch of Xifulai Hot Pot Restaurant. I am the store manager of this store, and I will be hosting the opening ceremony, which will consist of three parts..."

Under the store manager's guidance, the ceremony proceeded smoothly and the guests were very cooperative, creating a great atmosphere.

The manager said, "Next, we'll move on to the last part: the lucky draw. There are three prizes. The first prize is a 20% discount, for ten tables in total. It's an additional discount on top of the regular discount, so it's a great deal. The second prize is a plate of freshly sliced ​​beef and a serving of tea-based pastries, for fifteen tables in total. The third prize is a snack, for twenty tables in total..."

After he finished speaking, the shop assistant brought over a raffle box.

The store manager said, "The prizes are in this box. Everyone can draw a prize now."

The shop assistant carried the raffle box into the crowd.

Guests eagerly reached out to draw prizes.

Soon someone won the prize: "Hahaha, hahaha, I won the first prize, a double discount!"

"I won the second prize, which included beef and pastries."

"Haha, I also won the second prize! It's such a great deal! And I've heard that the food at Xifulai is delicious. I'm really lucky today."

"..."

The shop was filled with cheers, creating a positive cycle that attracted even more people.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Xifulai Hot Pot restaurant. It actually opened in G City. Now I don't have to go to tourist attractions to eat Xifulai hot pot anymore."

"It's great that we'll have delicious hot pot restaurants in G City soon."

"I want beef, with a butter broth..."

A group of customers found the store based on the address in the video. Before they even entered the store, they could smell the strong and tempting aroma, and they couldn't help but swallow.

"Welcome!" The greeter stepped forward to greet the guests and led them to an empty seat.

The shop is large with many tables and chairs, accommodating many people at the same time. Shen Xuening is well aware of her own capabilities, which is why she opened a large shop directly; otherwise, there would be even more customers waiting.

A customer asked, "Does the food at the branch taste the same as the original?"

The waiter answered confidently, "It's the same as the main store. The water for our branch is all transported from the main store, so the ingredients are all transported by large trucks, and the fresh beef is even air-freighted. You definitely won't be disappointed."

The customer exclaimed in surprise, "The beef is actually air-freighted!"

The waiter replied, "To ensure the freshness of the meat, it is all air-freighted."

The customer gave a thumbs up: "Now I don't have to worry about the taste of the hot pot anymore."
