"Is your guarantee useful? Besides, how do we know how many servings you have sold?"
Someone asked. A shop that only sold chicken blood soup and nothing else. Moreover, there was a limit to the number of servings sold. Although 5,000 servings was a lot, it was still unbelievable.
No matter who opened a restaurant, they were all businessmen. Businessmen pursued profits. This was their nature.
"My name is Gu Zheng. I am one of the owners of this shop. My guarantee is definitely useful. In the future, no matter if there is a waiting list in the shop, every bowl of chicken blood soup we sell will be numbered. This way, you can see how many servings we have sold online at any time!"
Gu Zheng said softly. He was the boss. Of course, his words were useful.
Hearing Gu Zheng's self-introduction, some people were still discussing softly. Most of them were readers of the gourmet channel. They knew about Gu Zheng from the article. They also knew that Gu Zheng was a food critic. Many of them were fans of Gu Zheng. They didn't expect Gu Zheng to not only write good articles, but also have good culinary skills.
The boss personally promised that every bowl would be numbered. Everyone believed him. At least they could see Gu Zheng's sincerity.
"Now you understand why we limited the number of servings. It is convenient for you, but it is unfair to those who can only come later. Not only do we limit the number of servings, but we will also limit them in the future. Even if we can't sell them all, we will still do so!"
Gu Zheng said to the noble-looking woman. The noble-looking woman looked around, nodded, and didn't say anything.
She wasn't stupid. Gu Zheng's explanation was for the convenience of more people. If she continued to object, those who couldn't come earlier would stand up for her even if the people in the shop didn't say anything.
Moreover, she couldn't guarantee that she would come in the morning every time. Occasionally, she would come in the evening or afternoon. If the shop did this, even if she came later in the future, she would still be able to eat the delicious chicken blood soup. It was also beneficial to her.
The noble-looking woman didn't insist on the number of servings. With the problem solved, Gu Zheng returned to the kitchen.
The shop was still busy. Many people agreed with Gu Zheng's rules. Especially the strict limit on the number of servings to ensure the taste. Many people were praising it.
It wasn't easy for a shop to sell less for the sake of taste. Everyone could clearly see how popular this shop was. If it were someone else, they would even dare to sell 10,000 servings, let alone 5,000 servings.
As Gu Zheng said these words, the store manager had already gone to prepare.
The boss had already said that every bowl that was to be sold in the future could be checked on the Internet, so this function was necessary. Their public account had already been approved, so it was not difficult to connect to the Internet and do real-time sales tracking.
The problem of no takeout was solved, but there were still customers who didn't understand. The store manager didn't need to explain in detail, as other customers helped to explain. Soon, everyone accepted the new rules of the restaurant.
That day, they only sold 4,300 servings of chicken blood soup. Not all 5,000 servings were sold out.
Not packing and not selling had indeed affected a portion of the business.
However, the number of people who had completed the test had increased to 1,400, which was about 400 more than the previous test. Gu Zheng was very satisfied. Fortunately, the artifact spirit had discovered the loophole in time and made a supplement. Otherwise, the number of people who had completed the test would have been wasted.
To Gu Zheng, the most important thing was not whether the business was good or bad, but the progress of the test.
Changfeng had something to do at home, so he went to Beijing. Not only him, but Chang Le also went. It seemed that something had happened at home, so he didn't come back for ten days.
These days, when Changfeng was not around, Gu Zheng only asked about the kitchen. The store manager was in charge of everything in the store, and the daily turnover was also collected by the store manager. Then, the next morning, it would be transferred to Changfeng's account. Gu Zheng didn't want to care about the money, nor was he in the mood to do any supervision.
After limiting takeout and takeout, only 5,000 servings had not been sold out in three days. After that, they were sold out every day. As the reputation of their chicken blood soup spread, more and more people knew about them. In addition to the word of mouth, the time they took to sell out the chicken blood soup every day was shortened.
Yesterday, it was past 6 pm. When dinner started, the chicken blood soup was sold out, so they could only close.
Not only was the chicken blood soup sold out, the number of people who had completed the test had been steadily increasing. Now, more than 20,000 of the 50,000 people had completed the test. Only 20 days had passed for the test, and there were still more than two months left. This gave Gu Zheng a lot of hope.
Some old customers found that they really only sold 5,000 servings. As long as they were sold out, they would close at any time. They were very impressed. There were also many people who posted online and praised them in their circle of friends, saying that they were a restaurant with a conscience. They only cared about the taste, and no matter how good the business was, it would not affect the taste.
With a good reputation, the business became even better. Guji Chicken Blood Soup had completely become famous and had entered a virtuous cycle.
The Sun family had been operating in Bian City for decades. Gu Zheng had obtained the reputation in a very short time, which made Gao Changhe sigh.
However, Gao Changhe also understood that there were many reasons why the president was like this. First of all, the era was different. The people now had a high standard of living. They were all pursuing a high-quality life and really liked delicious food. Secondly, the place was different. After all, this was Shen City, an international metropolis.
Another point was that Gu Zheng had improved the chicken blood soup. The taste was a lot better than before. In addition, the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself was even more delicious. It was impossible to get it every day. That was why it had a good reputation.
But no matter how many reasons there were, it was a fact that Guji Chicken Blood Soup was really popular.
"Despicable villain!"
Outside Guji Chicken Blood Soup, a dozen people stood on the opposite side of the road. Everyone's face was filled with hatred and resentment.
There were a total of twelve people, both men and women. The five children of the Sun family were all there. The others were also related to them. Several daughters-in-law of the Sun family's sons and the husbands of the Sun family's daughters all followed.
The five siblings of the Sun family relied on the chicken blood soup. After the pot of old soup was gone, the five of them had no choice but to make a new pot of soup and continue to sell their chicken blood soup. But without the old soup, the taste was not as good as before. The diners were not satisfied and gradually, their business became worse and worse.
The price of the chicken blood soup sold by the Sun family in Bian City was not as high as Gu Zheng's, but it was not cheap either. It was divided into several grades. The cheapest was 18 yuan a bowl, and the most expensive was 38 yuan.
The only difference between the 18 and 38 yuan was the amount of chicken blood. The soup was basically the same.
They did not have the old soup, but they were unwilling to change the price. The diners found that their 18 and 38 yuan chicken blood soup was not even as good as the ones outside. Naturally, they were not happy. In just half a month, their business plummeted.
In half a month, they went from being crowded with customers to being completely deserted, which made all of them feel extremely unbalanced.
Now there were only a few hundred customers in the store every day. The business was not worse than ordinary chicken blood soup stores. However, it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. They used to have thousands of people, but suddenly the number dropped to one-tenth. Moreover, their management team did not change at all. Naturally, they could not accept the fact that their income had plummeted.
After a discussion, the children of the Sun family unanimously decided that it was because Gu Zheng took away their old soup. In particular, the second son of the Sun family heard that Gu Zheng used the Sun family's old soup to open a Guji Chicken Blood Soup in Shen City. The business was booming, which made them even more unable to accept it. After a discussion, the Sun family decided to come to Shen City together. No matter what, they had to bring back their old soup.
This was the reason why they were here.
