First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 241 Calling Numbers and Queuing

The method of cooking steamed pot chicken is not found in Mangcheng, let alone in the whole Daxie.

So even though twenty-nine servings were given away for free, anyone who has drunk the soup and eaten the meat knows that the deliciousness of this steamed pot chicken is unparalleled.

The only steamed chicken dish that was paid for was from a table of guests who ate the free portion and paid for the second portion directly.

The chicken soup was so delicious that they had never tasted anything like it before.

So much so that just from this lunch, the reputation of Caidiexuan Steam Pot Chicken spread like wildfire.

At night, many people came here to try the so-called delicious chicken soup, which was free of charge.

But after these people came to Caidiexuan, they found that there were only a limited number of thirty servings a day, and they would not make them again after they were delivered.

These people came here with great excitement, and although they didn’t taste the legendary extremely delicious steamed pot chicken, after trying the other dishes at Caidiexuan, they were completely won over by the food here!

The first batch of dishes launched by Caidiexuan were not many.

Because the training time was limited, Su Jixiang could only teach ten dishes to the four chefs first.

Although these ten dishes are available in almost every restaurant in Mangcheng, they are far better than those in other restaurants in terms of flavor and presentation.

Su Jixiang offered few dishes, firstly because of the short time, and secondly because although the Spring Festival has passed, it is only the end of the first month of the year, and the weather in Mangcheng is still very cold. In addition, after a winter of consumption, there are really not many ingredients available.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without ingredients, no matter how good she is, she can't make a success.

They can only make dishes that are almost exactly the same as those in other restaurants, but because of Su Jixiang, the color, aroma and taste of Caidiexuan are better than those in other restaurants.

Su Jixiang had already considered this point, so she put a lot of effort into the cooking method. This steamed pot chicken has already made everyone talk about it with relish.

At noon the next day, before Caidiexuan opened, a line had already formed at the door, and a huge crowd of people was blocking the door waiting for it to open.

Qu Wanning and Su Jixiang entered Caidiexuan from the back door. Looking out of the window, they saw a group of people outside.

"What should we do?" Qu Wanning said to Su Jixiang, "If these people rush in, it will be bad if they get hurt."

"It's okay. You can call out your number." Su Jixiang took out a stack of bamboo cards and said with a smile.

"What is this?" Qu Wanning had never seen this before, so he took one over. The bamboo plate was made to be about the size of a palm and oval in shape. The words "Cai Die Xuan" were engraved on it, with the number in the middle.

"There are a total of thirty tables in our restaurant, including the eight private rooms on the second floor." Su Jixiang smiled, "The corresponding numbers on these are the numbers of each table. When the time comes, just find someone to distribute the cards outside. Those who get the cards will come in first to eat, and the others will queue outside. Every time a card is collected, it will be given to the people in line outside. If they are willing to wait, they can wait first. If they don't want to wait, they can leave. Those who have cards outside just wait until the people inside have finished eating, and then bring them in directly. In the second round, there is no need to sit according to the table number. The table that is vacant first will be arranged to come in first. And so on."

"That's a good idea!" Qu Wanning clapped his hands and laughed, "I find that your brain is really useful!"

Su Jixiang smiled, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

It's not that she is smart, she just copied the modern calling number system. Modern restaurants have computerized calling number systems for queues, but Mangcheng doesn't have one, so they can only make slight modifications and use manual calling number system.

"Our takeaway shop isn't open yet, so let those who are willing to wait go in and wait first, so that they won't catch a cold just for a meal when it's freezing outside," said Su Jixiang.

"You have thought it through very carefully. I will arrange for someone to move the stools in right away." Qu Wanning was also a smart man. He understood it immediately and immediately arranged for his men to move the things.

"My teahouse isn't open yet, so why don't I go and help call numbers and hand out signs?" Hua Rui said.

She also came to the restaurant yesterday, but it was the first day of opening and her teahouse was not popular yet, so she didn't have much to do.

Judging from the situation today, she was afraid that the teahouse would not have much business.

"You don't need to help call numbers and issue cards." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I have already arranged a seat for you at the tea table. Among the people waiting today, there should be some who are willing to sit more comfortably. I will ask someone to ask if there are people willing to wait in the tea room, and your skills will be put to use."

Huarui's eyes lit up.

So many guests came yesterday, but they all came to eat and no one was interested in the tea room. To be honest, she still felt a little sad and lost in her heart.

"I'll follow the boss's arrangements." Hua Rui happily bowed to Su Jixiang and turned to go to the tea room at the back to prepare.

Gradually, Su Jixiang became everyone's backbone, and no matter what she said, everyone thought it was reasonable.

"Then who do you think is more suitable to distribute the signs?" Qu Wanning asked.

"I brought Guihua and Lushui here today and let them go. They both know martial arts and can handle it if they encounter troublemakers outside." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

She had considered it carefully.

When it comes down to queuing, it all depends on your personal qualities.

Even in modern times when the level of civilization and education is very high, there are still quarrels and arguments because of waiting for seats, and some people even get into physical fights.

Although Su Jixiang didn't know much about the customs of Mangcheng, she believed in human nature...

So she brought both osmanthus and green water today.

Calling numbers and queuing are not easy. The other guys in the store are all military dependents of the Mangcheng Black Tiger Army, and they are all beautiful young ladies. If they really encounter a few hooligans coming to make trouble, these young ladies will definitely not be good enough. Su Jixiang is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want anything to happen.

These military dependents believed in her and were willing to follow her out in the open to make a living, so she had to be responsible for their safety.

She had already talked to Guihua and Lushui last night, and taught them how to call out numbers and how to queue up more reasonably and effectively, so today she let them maintain order outside.

Su Jixiang asked Guihua and Lushui to take a carbon pen and a notebook and go out to arrange the queue first.

Su Jixiang also found a charcoal burner to make this charcoal pen. Mangcheng is too cold. If she used ink, it would be frozen into ice immediately outdoors. It was too inconvenient. So she thought of making some simple charcoal pencils. Basically, they were the prototypes of modern pencils, but they were simpler and rougher in production. Anyway, they were used for marking and writing, so there were not many requirements.
