352: Five minutes per pot

The next day, Feihuang Plaza opened as scheduled.

After all, it was a plaza with an investment of over five billion, so many people came to see the excitement when it opened.

When they entered the plaza, they found that there were no activities whatsoever.

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

No activities at all?

They asked the staff, unwilling to give up, but received a definite answer: that's right, there were no activities!

Many people were immediately disappointed.

"I thought Feihuang Plaza would have big discounts to compete with Qinghui Plaza, and I wanted to get some good deals, but who knew there was nothing? I came for nothing!"

"I don't understand, I truly don't understand why Feihuang Plaza opened without any activities. Which plaza in Shen City hasn't held activities when it opened? Even if it was just giving away eggs, that would be good!"

"It's clear at a glance that Feihuang Plaza is bound to go out of business. What kind of broken mall is this? It's far worse than Qinghui Plaza!"

"No activities, no promotions, nothing at all. Just waiting for Feihuang Plaza to go out of business!"

"..."

Most customers were not optimistic about Feihuang Plaza.

Because even on opening day, not many people came in.

Feihuang Supermarket on the first basement floor, however, attracted quite a few people.

It was their first time seeing a supermarket that actually displayed the cost price next to the selling price.

Moreover, the supermarket's service was excellent; it wasn't just about smiling service, but rather, if you weren't satisfied with the fruit, you could return it directly, and if you weren't satisfied with the vegetables you bought, you could return them directly.

Even ordinary goods supported seven-day no-questions-asked returns.

The employees were all busy with their own tasks and didn't particularly like to introduce products to customers.

Only when customers were confused would employees proactively step forward.

The vegetables and fruits in the supermarket were truly fresh!

There weren't many people in the entire Feihuang Plaza, and there was no festive opening atmosphere; the employees were all busy with their own tasks.

This situation continued until noon.

At noon, inside Feihuang Supermarket, Chen Jingfu, Zhao Kaixuan, Sun Youan, Tang Lezhan, Qu Yuanliang, and Jin Hongda gathered together, all with worried expressions.

They had invested so much money in Feihuang Plaza, but today, on opening day, the foot traffic was sparse.

How could they not be worried?

Sun Youan asked, "What exactly is Ziyong's strategy? When will it take effect?"

Everyone shook their heads.

They didn't know, none of them knew!

Qian Ziyong hadn't revealed what the strategy was, only that he was full of confidence.

They also found it difficult to ask.

They could only fret.

Just then, Chen Jingfu suddenly slapped Sun Youan's large hand next to him: "Look, aren't there many people coming over there?"

Sun Youan looked forward and saw a large group of people, dressed in uniform, who appeared to be white-collar workers based on their demeanor.

After they entered, they walked straight towards Feihuang Restaurant and immediately began ordering.

Some people were also smiling and recording videos, watching the chefs cook inside.

"Are they really here to dine at Feihuang Restaurant?"

"They seem to be from one company..."

"Just this few people, nothing strange..." Sun Youan hadn't even finished speaking when he saw another group of white-collar workers approaching.

Besides white-collar workers, there were also college students.

They headed straight for Feihuang Restaurant.

The first basement floor only had Feihuang Supermarket and Feihuang Restaurant. Feihuang Supermarket occupied 30,000 square meters, while Feihuang Restaurant and Heli 撈 hot pot occupied nearly 20,000 square meters.

They didn't understand why it was designed this way.

Li Lian told them that it was because Feihuang Restaurant had always been full.

Since the entire first basement floor belonged to them, they decided to make Feihuang Restaurant larger.

All employees of the entire mall, as well as surrounding Feihuang employees, would come here to dine.

And the restaurant was also open to the public, so bigger was better!

Indeed, Li Lian was truly professional and had foresight.

Who would have thought that Feihuang Restaurant, upon opening, would have so many people dining on its first day?

"So many people!" Chen Jingfu stood up excitedly.

He saw college students, white-collar workers, elderly people, and even children.

In a vast crowd, they quickly formed lines at the food serving windows.

"Let's go, let's experience it," Sun Youan rubbed his big belly, stood up, and suggested.

Everyone had the same idea.

They immediately went forward to queue.

As wealthy individuals, they rarely ate such fast food; even if they did, their subordinates would prepare it and bring it to them.

Sun Youan was at the very front, looking at the sign above.

First, he had to download the Feihuang Restaurant app, then locate the current restaurant on it, and directly start ordering.

Sun Youan chose three dishes and one soup: two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one pork rib soup.

Soon, the system prompted him that he had successfully purchased, totaling fifteen yuan.

So cheap?

Sun Youan looked at the price curiously.

The two meat dishes were eight yuan in total, one vegetable dish was two yuan, one soup was four yuan, and rice was one yuan, totaling fifteen.

As soon as he finished looking at the prices, he saw the server in the display window begin to dish out his meal.

The server picked up a plate, glanced at the screen next to it, then scooped a spoonful to the left, a spoonful to the right, another spoonful in the middle, and then served a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup.

The entire process took only a dozen seconds, then the server called out, "Number 112, ready!"

After speaking, he placed the meal on the counter and began to work on the next order.

Sun Youan glanced at his phone; he was indeed number 112.

This speed was too fast!

Sun Youan exclaimed, then heard the server mutter softly, "The farmer's stir-fried pork is gone so quickly!"

While muttering, he tapped a few times on the panel next to him.

Sun Youan immediately became interested and watched from the side.

He saw the chefs busy inside, cooking with high heat, flames leaping half a meter high, drawing gasps from the surrounding people.

The chefs were already accustomed to it, adding water, seasonings, and taking the food out of the wok. Helpers were already prepared, immediately bringing the plates over.

The chef poured the dish onto the plate, and the helper quickly carried it to the front hall, placed it on the table, and took away the empty plate.

It took a total of five minutes.

A dish was prepared from scratch in such a short time.

Sun Youan knew without looking that it was freshly cooked and would definitely taste delicious.

Sun Youan noticed that almost all the dishes brought out would be served within ten minutes, and then special staff would immediately bring out more dishes.

This ensured that the dishes customers ate were all freshly cooked.

Just as he was watching with great interest, Chen Jingfu said, "What are you looking at? Our brothers are almost done eating, and we're just waiting for you!"

Only then did Sun Youan realize that he had been standing there holding his bowl, effectively frozen for several minutes.

However, even after several minutes, the food in his bowl had not gotten cold.

Sun Youan quickly carried his bowl over and found that all the surrounding tables were already full of people.

Fortunately, Zhao Kaixuan had saved a spot for him, and the six of them just fit perfectly at one table.

Sun Youan sat down and said, "I just watched their serving speed; they can stir-fry a pot in five minutes. The speed is truly impressive!"

"Look, my farmer's stir-fried pork is still hot!"

Zhao Kaixuan laughed, "Not only is it hot, but it was also scalding hot when I first started eating it!"

"But the taste is very ordinary, just normal home cooking.

"But I don't know why, it just feels very comfortable to eat."
