Chapter 591: 598 First step successful_1

’The design you made is excellent, thank you!’ Lin Xiangwan replied, shrugging off all resentments.

Qin Muchuan sent her a smile, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Then he asked further, "Have you hired any wait staff? What about the chefs?"

’Yes, we’ve hired three servers. One young girl is in charge of ordering, followed by two aunties!’ replied Lin Xiangwan.

’Just hire the three first. If it gets busy, we’ll need to hire more people,’ replied Qin Muchuan. ’Are you sure you’re making Spicy Hot Pot yourself?’

’Yes, I’ve practiced many times, and I think the taste is excellent!’ Lin Xiangwan said confidently.

’You could give it a try, but make sure to emphasize the words "health" in your promotions. We’re making the healthiest Spicy Hot Pot!’ Qin Muchuan suggested on the spot.

’Sure!’ Lin Xiangwan agreed. This was indeed a great idea!

’Let’s call it that. It’s unique and attractive, especially since people are now very health-conscious!’ Qin Muchuan continued to ask. ’What about your sales strategy? Any good ideas?’

’Um, I have some, but I’m not entirely sure if they’re correct. More trial and error is needed!’ Lin Xiangwan had lots of plans in her mind, but she was afraid of being laughed at for being naïve.

But anyway, she owns the restaurant. She can do whatever she wants!

Whether her creativity could work or not, only practice would test...

On a sunny day, the sign for ’Love Home’ was hung up. It wasn’t officially open yet, so the sign was covered by a red cloth.

Lin Xiangwan kept it low-key and didn’t tell anyone.

However, Shen Hanqian travelled all the way from Yu City to give her a large, lucky cat figurine.

’Thank you,’ Lin Xiangwan said, moved.

Shen Hanqian rolled her eyes at Xiangwan. ’What are you thanking me for? It’s to be expected! Yuyun wanted to come too, but she’s too busy with her work. However, she promises to make time to come over on the official opening day!’

’Okay.’

’Do you need any help here?’ Shen Hanqian put on an apron, ready to assist.

Lin Xiangwan quickly stopped her. ’No, no, you can’t do this! Your clothes are so expensive; I can’t afford to ruin them!’

Shen Hanqian waved her objection aside. ’I’m quite familiar with these tasks, don’t forget I’m a master at Jiangnan cuisine. As for my clothes, they’re for fashion’s sake, and I only wear them a few times. I won’t wear them again after using them a few times!’

’Rich girl!’ Lin Xiangwan muttered under her breath.

Shen Hanqian rolled her eyes in response to Xiangwan’s comment. ’Yes, I’m not like you, so willing to live in such a messy and dirty place. Thinking about it makes me shiver!’

’Cut it out, not everyone is as lucky as you, being born into a wealthy family. I don’t have that kind of life!’

’Hehe...’ Shen Hanqian chuckled.

’Love Home’ had a very unique name, drawing customers in just half an hour into its soft opening.

Lin Xiangwan enthusiastically greeted them. ’Hello, I’m delighted that you two lovely ladies are the first customers in our restaurant!’

The two ladies were thrilled. ’Really? We were actually attracted by your advertisement!’

’Yes!’ Lin Xiangwan handed them the menu. ’What would you like to eat? The top two rows list our signature dishes!’

’Let’s go with the do-it-yourself Spicy Hot Pot!’ The two ladies decided.

Lin Xiangwan hurriedly said. ’Alright, today is the opening day of our restaurant, and you are our first customers. So, I will give you a 30% discount, plus complimentary fruits and drinks!’

’Great, fantastic!’ The young girls replied, beaming with joy.

Very soon, Lin Xiangwan carried the vegetables the girls had selected to the back kitchen and started to prepare their order.

While watching her friend’s skilled maneuver handled the orders, Shen Hanqian couldn’t help but feel impressed. ’I didn’t expect your movement to be so smooth. You must have practiced a lot, haven’t you?’

Lin Xiangwan scooped up the vegetables from the water, proudly boasting. ’I tell you, I practiced countless times. At first, I used premium vegetables, then I started buying the cheapest vegetables from the market. Sometimes, I even used the leftovers that people didn’t want, just to get the taste right!’

Lin Xiangwan then added the carefully developed seasonings into the bowl, creating a very captivating dish judging by its color and aroma.

The moment the two girls got a whiff of the dish, they couldn’t contain their excitement.

Standing on the side, Lin Xiangwan was eager to hear their feedback. ’How is it? Is it delicious?’

The two girls nodded. ’It’s delicious!’

With the positive feedback, the worries in Lin Xiangwan’s heart started to ease. Previously, she gave free food samples to the public, and everyone said the taste was fantastic.

However, she wasn’t sure if people would still compliment its taste when they had to pay.

Lin Xiangwan attempted to establish a rapport with the young customers, taking selfies with them.

The young girls were more than happy to comply, marking the completion of Love Home’s first successful order.

This gave Lin Xiangwan a confidence boost.

Meanwhile, she had hired several people to distribute flyers near the Computer City, which is their targeted customer group.

The promotional flyers were well-designed. Every customer who dined in on the opening day would enjoy a 30% discount, free fruit and drinks, and could apply for a membership card, which would grant them a 25% discount on all future purchases!

The promotion was successful. Quite a lot of deliveries were made for lunch, with a total of 76 lunch boxes sold by noon.

By evening, Lin Xiangwan had counted a total sales of three thousand Yuan.

’For the first day, I think this income is pretty impressive!’ consoled Shen Hanqian.

Sigh, her reassurances were not needed, because Lin Xiangwan too felt that the results were quite satisfactory.

’It is great to have made so many sales on the first day! I originally expected to sell a few Spicy Hot Pots and some takeaway meals at most. I didn’t expect this many. I think our sales will continue to climb tomorrow!’

’Of course, of course!’ Shen Hanqian felt like asking, did you calculate how much you’ve made today? From her observations, they should be glad they didn’t make a loss!

However, Lin Xiangwan was not bothered by this.

’Where are you staying tonight?’ Shen Hanqian asked.

’Oh, I’m staying at the small inn I own. I initially planned to stay at the restaurant, but I thought that doing so might seem unprofessional and unsanitary to the customers. I plan to rent a small room nearby, but haven’t had the time yet,’ Lin Xiangwan replied, grinning from ear to ear.

Shen Hanqian couldn’t help feeling defeated by her. ’Miss, I’m asking where are you staying tonight?’

Lin Xiangwan chuckled awkwardly. ’For tonight, I’m staying at my small inn!’
