Chapter 286 Our Restaurant

"Go out and take a look!" the manager said anxiously.

Hua Xiali was suspicious and asked Zhang Yongfeng to help her keep an eye on the food in the pot. Then she took off her apron and walked outside. She was surprised to see two rows of police officers standing outside the door. She saw Yu Qingxin and Yan Yisheng there too, so she hurried over and asked worriedly, "Comrade Yu, Comrade Yan, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, we are here to maintain order." Yu Qingxin said expressionlessly.

Hua Xiali looked at the people watching the movie, thought of the grand occasion when the movie opened, and nodded. This was the area under their jurisdiction, and if anything happened to anyone, they would be held accountable, because maintaining public order was their responsibility.

Although it was just his duty, Hua Xiali was very grateful to them.

"Thank you everyone for your hard work. I will pay for your lunch today." Hua Xiali said generously.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yu Qingxin and Yan Yishen said with a smile.

Afterwards, Hua Xiali returned to the kitchen, put on an apron, and continued to cook dishes. The reason why she asked Zhang Yongfeng to cook in the kitchen together was mainly to gain work experience and then pass the chef's certificate exam. In this way, everyone will know that the owner of "Xia Li Restaurant" is a chef.

Before ten o'clock, the door of the restaurant was already full of people, forming a long line. In order to prevent people from pushing, wrestling or trampling, the manager and employees asked everyone at the door how many people were coming so that they could let everyone in one table at a time. This way a lot of trouble could be avoided.

If someone gets hurt on the first day of a new store opening, it is very likely that the store will be closed. They have finally found a job that can earn money near home, and they all hope to continue working there!
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the store manager and employees began to let in tables one by one. Those with more than six people were allowed to go directly to the second floor, because there were large round tables on the second floor that could seat many people. Those with six or less stayed on the first floor.

There is a menu on each table, and you can pick it up and study it as soon as you sit down. By the time the staff come over, everyone will have already studied what they want to eat, so there is no need to waste time.

Every time a table places an order, the staff will send the order to the back kitchen. The staff will directly bring the prepared dishes over, and the chefs will quickly prepare the dishes that have not yet been prepared.

The main dishes and cold dishes are almost all prepared in advance, so there is no time wasted. Only vegetables and stir-fried dishes need to be made on the spot, so even though the kitchen is very busy, it is not messy.

After ordering from several tables, Hua Xiali saw that no one ordered fish. This made her even more certain that the people here really didn't like to eat fish, so Hua Xiali sent a bowl of fish fillets to each table. The fish fillets were picked from the pickled vegetable and fish pot, and were all fish meat, without a single pickled vegetable. She had plenty of fish here, and no one ate fish, so how could she make money by selling fish!

Sure enough, after trying the food, everyone was impressed. Many people asked to order a fish dish. Fish can be eaten in various ways, so everyone ordered something different. Pickled fish, boiled fish, braised fish, fish hotpot... people ordered everything.

In Xiali Restaurant, meat dishes are two yuan more expensive than in other small restaurants, and vegetables are one yuan more expensive. Although it is more expensive than other places, the taste here is good. People who finish eating here not only eat it willingly but also praise it again and again!

The people queuing outside couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard everyone exclaiming about how delicious the food was. They really hoped that everyone would finish eating quickly and leave, so that the tables could be vacated so that they could go in and eat.

Every time a table of guests leaves, the staff will quickly carry a basket to clean up the tableware and leftovers, and then wipe the table clean so that they can entertain the next table of guests.

After things stabilized in the kitchen, Hua Xiali went to the lobby to check on the situation. Seeing that everyone was working in an orderly manner, he nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, she had trained everyone in advance, so on the first day of opening, everyone was able to get started quickly and there was no chaos. At about eleven o'clock, Huo Beixi came over, but the people queuing outside the door thought he was going to cut in line and didn't let him in. Hua Xiali heard the noisy sound coming from the door and walked over. Seeing that it was Huo Beixi, she stepped forward and took his hand, smiling and saying to everyone, "This is my husband. I asked him to come over to help. Excuse me."

Everyone had no choice but to stop stopping him.

Hua Xiali brought Huo Beixi to his office, asked him to sit down and rest, and then poured him a cup of tea. "You rushed here right after work. You must be exhausted. When I make more money, I will buy you a motorcycle. It will be much faster to go to town."

Huo Beixi rode his bike here after work at noon. The sun was so strong along the way, it was hot and sunny.

Huo Beixi stood up and locked the office door, then sat back on the sofa and hugged Hua Xiali over. He looked at her tenderly while the fan was blowing on her. "Thank you, my wife."

"As long as I think about seeing you soon, I won't feel tired at all. How about I show you now?" Then he kissed her...

Fortunately, there was the sound of an electric fan whirring, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing if others heard the rustling noise coming from the office.

Hua Xiali was very busy in the days leading up to the opening. She did not go home and lived in the office. It was summer, so she could just sleep on the floor. She didn't even need a bed. However, there was a sofa and a small single iron bed in her office, which was enough for one person to rest.

Hua Xiali got up and opened the window to ventilate the office. Then he and Huo Beixi leaned on the sofa and turned on the electric fan. "How do you like my restaurant?"

"Very good, no restaurant in the city can compare to yours." Huo Beixi put his arm around Hua Xiali's shoulders and said seriously.

"It's our restaurant." Hua Xiali emphasized.

Because it was Huo Beixi, she was willing to share her wealth. If it was someone else, they would go wherever was cooler.

Moreover, Hua Xiali knew how much money Huo Beixi could earn from his job, which meant that Huo Beixi could foresee the end of his life, so the task of making money for the family had to be left to her.

But Huo Beixi must be loyal to her, otherwise she can leave him with nothing.

"You take a rest first, I'll go downstairs and bring us the meal." Huo Beixi still had to work in the afternoon, which meant he had to rush back soon. No matter how hot it was or how scorching the sun was, he had to go back.

In his position, he must set a good example, otherwise he will cause dissatisfaction among the villagers.

Hua Xiali walked to the mirror and checked her hair and clothes. Otherwise, if others found out that she had taken time out to meet with her husband, who knows how they would laugh at her!

All this free time is needed...

But who made her not go home for several days?
