55: The supermarket is my home
How did the restaurant become popular?
How did it become popular?
To prevent the restaurant from becoming popular, he didn't even publicize it!
Qian Ziyong rushed to the restaurant.
He was usually very lazy, and at noon, his employees would deliver food to his office.
After not coming for a few days, how did the restaurant become completely full?
If old people filled the place, Qian Ziyong could still understand.
But why were young people joining in the fun?
Qian Ziyong sat next to a young man his age and asked with a smile, "Brother, is the food here delicious?"
The young man with the buzz cut looked up at Qian Ziyong but didn't recognize him as the owner of Feihuang Supermarket.
He shook his head and said, "Not very tasty!"
"However, if you haven't eaten, I highly recommend you try it!"
He thought Qian Ziyong was also here to eat but was afraid the taste wasn't good, which was why he asked him.
Hearing the other person say the food here wasn't tasty, yet still advising him to try it, Qian Ziyong instantly felt uneasy.
"Are you wondering why I recommend you try it even though it's not tasty?" the young man said, taking a bite.
Qian Ziyong nodded.
The young man laughed and said, "Do you think the food we usually eat at home is delicious?"
Qian Ziyong shook his head: "Not delicious!"
The young man said, "But we eat at home for at least three hundred days out of three hundred and sixty-five days a year!"
"Why is that?"
"Because you don't get tired of it, and it's not bad even if it's not delicious!"
"And if you don't eat home-cooked meals for a long time, you'll really miss them!"
As he said this, Qian Ziyong couldn't help but nod.
It was true; when he was looking for a job outside, he often missed home-cooked meals.
Were they delicious?
He couldn't say!
But if he didn't eat them, he would miss them.
And he never got tired of them.
The young man rubbed his head and said with a smile, "To be honest, I don't like cooking."
"But eating takeout often isn't healthy."
"If there's food that's cheap, healthy, convenient, and you never get tired of, why refuse it?"
"Try it and you'll know, you'll fall in love with this place."
"Every day when it's time to eat, my legs just walk here uncontrollably."
"Thank you!" After thanking him, Qian Ziyong walked around the restaurant with a grim expression.
The surroundings were full of praise for Feihuang Restaurant.
"Sigh... such a good restaurant, why didn't I discover it sooner? I ate instant noodles for half a month because of it."
"If I had known there was such a cheap and healthy restaurant, I would have died before eating instant noodles. What a regret!"
A young man complained.
A companion next to him said, "You couldn't have discovered it earlier, because the restaurant has only been open for less than a week!"
Hearing that it had only been open for a week, the young man was instantly heartbroken.
"Why didn't the owner of Feihuang Restaurant open it sooner with such a good idea?"
"He really deserves to be struck by lightning!"
His companion next to him agreed deeply: "He made us eat takeout for so long, instant noodles for so long."
"He really deserves retribution."
"I've decided, from now on I'll come here every day, twice a day, never missing a meal!"
"Such a good restaurant, Feihuang Supermarket deserves to make a fortune!"
...
Hearing this, Qian Ziyong's face turned ashen.
He never would have thought that Feihuang Restaurant became popular because the food wasn't good.
What did he just hear?
People were comparing Feihuang Restaurant's dishes to instant noodles.
They said instant noodles were tasty, but only the first time, and became harder to swallow the more you ate them.
Feihuang Restaurant, however, was the opposite: it was bad the first time, but got better the more you ate it, until you couldn't live without it!
And many people had already agreed to come every day!
Every day?
Are they not letting people live?!
They actually treated the supermarket as their home!
Qian Ziyong was angry at these young people for not striving and for being too lazy.
"These people are too lazy; they don't even cook for themselves and treat my place as a canteen!"
"As pillars of society, how can they be so lazy!"
Qian Ziyong was heartbroken.
Society was going to end!
Today's young people really couldn't shoulder the burden.
"Boss, your methods are truly brilliant!" Zhu Daqiang accompanied him throughout, and at the appropriate time, he gave a big thumbs-up.
Qian Ziyong smiled bitterly and pressed Sun Daqiang's thumb back down: "I have acrophobia."
"Don't flatter me anymore."
Qian Ziyong was very speechless about these young people.
However, he wasn't too sad.
Because the restaurant's prices were very low, he wasn't making any money at all!
So even if there were many people, it didn't have much impact on him.
He just lost a tiny bit less.
In a dozen days, he would let these young people see his power.
As soon as he thought that in a dozen days, the restaurant along with the supermarket would close down, these young people who treated the supermarket as their home every day would immediately find themselves homeless.
Qian Ziyong felt a mischievous thrill!
Hmph... let you buy, buy, buy!
Hmph... let you eat, eat, eat!
You'll get what's coming to you!
...
On the other side, at Yongnian Supermarket,
Manager Li and Manager Sun came together to the Yongnian Supermarket owner's office.
Yamazumi Arimatsu and Yamazumi Arimatsu were both there.
Yamazumi Arimatsu had originally returned to Sakura Country.
He trusted his younger brother very much.
He thought that if his younger brother made a move, it would be a piece of cake.
But he didn't expect that his younger brother had been here for so long and hadn't won against Qian Ziyong even once!
Liu Gaoda was also sitting in the corner.
"Something big has happened!" Manager Sun said.
"What is it now?" Yamazumi Arimatsu raised his tired eyes.
He hadn't slept all night again yesterday.
"Boss, Feihuang Restaurant has become popular!" Manager Sun said.
Yamazumi Arimatsu was startled and sat up: "Didn't you say Feihuang Restaurant was just an employee cafeteria?"
"How did it become popular?"
He certainly knew that Feihuang Supermarket was building a new restaurant.
The undercover agent sent back news that it was a very large employee cafeteria, intended to improve employee benefits.
He didn't believe it at first.
However, Qian Ziyong was indeed very good to his employees.
Plus, Feihuang Restaurant hadn't been publicized at all, seemingly not intending to make money from the restaurant, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Especially on the first day Feihuang Restaurant opened, he even sent people to taste the food.
The taste was indeed very ordinary.
The prices were also ridiculously low.
It clearly wasn't meant to make money.
It was indeed an employee cafeteria without a doubt.
Since it was an employee cafeteria, how could it be popular?
And how did it become popular?
Manager Sun said, "That insidious and vicious fellow, Qian Ziyong, he hides very deeply!"
"He clearly knows that young people nowadays are very lazy and don't like cooking much."
"So he made the restaurant's food authentic, exactly like home-cooked meals."
"And the prices are very cheap."
"So cheap that young people can't put it down!"
"Young people working nearby, and residents of the surrounding communities, all treat Feihuang Restaurant as their own home kitchen."
"And it's the kind of kitchen where you don't need to buy groceries yourself, and you don't need to cook yourself!"
"If we don't think of a solution soon, they'll treat Feihuang Restaurant as their home!"
