144 Chapter 144 Grassland Taste
“It’s what he should do. You guys go ahead.” After Manager Liu finished, he looked at Sun Hongliang and said, “Since Mrs. Zhou gave you a chance, you must do your best.”
“Don’t worry, uncle. I will do my best.” Sun Hongliang bowed.
After the two of them sent off Manager Liu, Zhou Ying took Sun Hongliang to the kitchen and introduced him to the main dishes in the restaurant.
Finally, she said, “Bring a menu home later and note the main points. Also, there will be a 30% discount event tomorrow.
“We’ll only charge 70% of the total price, which is one of our publicity highlights. You must remember it well.
“In addition, we have a membership point system. If anyone spends ten taels of silver tomorrow, you will issue them a membership card until you have issued all 100 cards.
“After that, tell them they could get a 10% discount with the card. Of course, the points would not be recorded after the discount. The customer can get back 10 silver taels for every 100 silver taels spent.”
“That means there are two different ways to discount, which is a good way to attract customers.” Sun Hongliang commented.
“Yes, there are only 100 membership cards. I’ll bring them back tomorrow.
“Understood.”
“Oh right, where’s your hometown? How far is it from here?”
“It’s almost near the Northern Territory, about 1200 miles from here. But don’t worry, several counties are between us, so the refugees rarely reach here.
“I only came here because I have relatives here.”
“When do you plan to go back?”
Sun Hongliang shook his head. “Our house has already collapsed. If I can continue to make a living here, I will stay.
“That’s good. You don’t have to be so polite to me; it sounds awkward. Just talk to me casually in the future.”
“I… alright, I understand.”
“Okay, dress up tomorrow and come early.” Zhou Ying then handed him a menu.
“See you tomorrow.” Sun Hongliang bowed and turned to leave.
After returning home that night, Gu Chengrui went to the village to inform the guests he was planning to invite.
After dinner, the two entered the interspace. Zhou Ying printed 100 cards on special printing paper used for business cards. The front of the membership card was printed with the traditional characters of “Grassland Taste Membership Card” in gold.
There was also a picture of a grassland shepherd in the background.
The back was empty, and she planned to use a quill to add the member’s information. This way, it would play an anti-forgery role to a certain extent.
Finally, she used the same paper to print 100 copies of the menu.
“You shouldn’t do this as this paper isn’t waterproof, and it’ll be destroyed if the customers aren’t careful. ” Gu Chengrui walked over and reminded her.
“Then what do you think we should do? We can’t possibly laminate it, right? There will be problems if others see it.” Zhou Ying turned her head and asked.
“I remember we received a batch of transparent waterproof paint before, the kind used to paint furniture, so we can try that. If someone asks, just say that you used tree oil, and no one will look into it.
“Then let’s try that.” Zhou Ying agreed and went to a warehouse to find the paint.
After mixing the ingredients according to the ratio instructed, she found a brush and lathered it on a membership card. She didn’t expect the effect to be so good, as even the handwriting wasn’t affected.
Then, she painted all the membership cards, dried them, and swiped the other side. She gathered them all after they dried.
The next morning, because they no longer had to make tofu, the two carried the hotpot base ingredient Zhou Ying had prepared beforehand and went out in new clothes.
After they reached the restaurant, Sun Hongliang and the rest were already prepared. They hung a red silk cloth on the signboard and went up and greeted them politely. They didn’t stay long at the entrance and handed over the restaurant’s opening to Sun Hongliang.
In the backyard, Zhou Ying walked to Fang Qing, who was cutting meat, and asked, “Fang Qing, have you done what I asked you to do yesterday?��
