Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 2107 - 1809: Bigger and Stronger (Part 2)
"Changleju is indeed expensive, but it’s worth it! I celebrated my birthday in spring, and my kid snatched a Spring Banquet set there... My goodness! It was so delicious, we almost swallowed our tongues!"
The driver group always received the latest news, and ever since Changleju’s renovation, they gradually stopped doing regular business.
Those so-called gourmet dishes easily cost three to four digits, it’s simply hard to accept.
The drivers often said behind the boss’s back that he was crazy for money.
However, anyone who had tasted it described it as so delicious that they couldn’t help but mention it every day, dream about it, and wake up drooling on half a pillow...
Over time, even those who hadn’t eaten there knew that it really provided value for money.
But exactly how delicious it was, many people still couldn’t imagine.
Everyone was chattering away, and as they watched the fleet orderly picking up customers at the airport, three to four out of ten clients would mention Changleju, prompting the drivers to join in the praise.
And they couldn’t help but exclaim:
"This banquet is really on a grand scale."
Honestly, even the most famous tycoons in Shan City hosting banquets don’t usually go this all out, so it’s a bit unexpected to see such a fuss.
But the problem is, this wasn’t merely a gathering of friends and family! Instead, it was an event with people from all over, including epicures, celebrity foodies, and internet influencers.
Not to mention, when slightly famous influencers come here for a meal, although they can’t live stream it, their teams have quite a few people getting everything ready outside.
Moreover, a whole fish feast is different from a regular banquet.
Banquets typically have cold and hot dishes, with meals, soups, and main courses served in an orderly sequence even if hastily prepared hours earlier.
But this is something Boss Chang wouldn’t even bother with!
Everything has to be live, with the best taste right then and there!
As such, they didn’t know how many temporary workers were hired to assist in the kitchen, as everyone was bustling about.
The kitchen was packed, the front hall was lively, and the private rooms were quiet and elegant.
If it weren’t for Chang Letian, with his connections and ability, even securing prompt approval for this event wouldn’t have been certain. A lot of people were required to maintain order.
But, all of this was worth it.
Boss Chang had just returned to the hotel, washed up, and opened his Douyin account to find his followers and private messages increasing non-stop, making him beam with joy.
If only there was enough room for food production, he would have loved to expand next door!
Dad! Grandpa! Your good son and grandson have made our family business bigger and stronger today!
But amidst making it bigger and stronger, he quickly changed clothes and rushed back to the kitchen:
"How’s it going, how are the fish doing?"
Master Qian, busy as a bee, pulled a fish from the tank, its body flailing and slapping against him, with a happy face:
"Look at this bighead carp! So full of energy!"
Boss Chang looked at him, thought to himself, that enthusiasm was akin to when he first held his grandson at the hospital.
But he was tactful enough, and he quickly asked while staring at the fish:
"How do we prepare it?"
How to prepare it? Of course, with the classic styles: chopped chili fish head and fish balls.
Boss Chang nodded, "Prepare extra fish balls today. Some invited guests can’t make it or are on duty—let’s pack them up for everyone to sample."
Master Qian nodded, "Rest assured, there’s plenty of hand-rolled noodles with fish soup today."
It can’t just be fish balls, right?
Boss Chang glanced at the lively fish in the aquariums, finally feeling at ease, and then turned to find logistics:
"Have the small boxes we talked about preparing all been sorted?"
Logistics could barely stop herself from rolling her eyes.
What day is it? The day of preparing a whole fish feast!
She was so busy she wished she had roller skates on, yet the boss kept arranging this and that.
Called at 5 in the morning, and now it’s needed?
Yet, as a senior in this industry, she sighed, "I reached out to familiar suppliers, found a similar one, and got two thousand on short notice..."
Boss Chang sighed in relief: "That should be enough."
Doctor Xiaoguo’s ordinary hawthorn pills weren’t needed in large volumes today—they brought about two thousand tops.
On top of that, there’s a more premium version, about two or three hundred, which will suffice.
He was about to discuss the hawthorn pills when he heard the logistics intercom buzzing and so paused:
"Go ahead with your work, I’ll discuss it with you later."
Logistics’ eyes widened: "Boss, if there’s something, don’t arrange it last minute—tell me now!"
Boss Chang paused: "Not much, I just want our service to be flawless. It’s not quite right to always have the staff hand out digestive tablets; I brought hawthorn pills from a renowned herbalist to serve as a snack."
"That’s all, we’ve got ordinary ones and premium ones. Our top-tier members can use different boxes post-meal. Ordinary ones get the usual packaging..."
"This procedure isn’t complicated, and preparing it before the banquet should be ample time."
Logistics, resembling a fish out of water now, even sounded like summoning ghosts while speaking:
"Shouldn’t the hawthorn pills have proper packaging? Shouldn’t the high-end and ordinary ones be clearly distinct? How should the waitstaff present it to make the right impression? Preparing when the banquet starts? Can the staff sit idle when the banquet starts?"
The logistics needed proper packaging—sorting, cleaning, and sanitizing to be perfect. Front desk and customer service had to brief again, and the waitstaff needed to cooperate...
At this moment, logistics about opened her mouth, wanting to emulate the fearless groundhog—
"I’ll add bonuses," Boss Chang decisively declared:
"Didn’t we agree, once these three busy days are over, everyone gets overtime pay and bonuses? This time it’s so exhausting; I’ll give an extra 200 for each waiter, cleaner, and kitchen staff; management will have theirs separately."
Logistics shuts her mouth, suddenly smiling like a spring breeze:
"Then no worries, feel free to instruct me with any arrangements. I’ll get the floor and customer manager to sample the hawthorn pills right away..."
