Cassia was a little shocked at the six demons sitting at the door eating enthusiastically, and even more surprised that they, with their rough looks, could make eating hot pot so enjoyable.
A fire in winter has a fatal temptation for passers-by.
After looking here for a while, most people can't stand the temptation of the aroma and want to go into a hot pot restaurant to taste the hot pot in person.
"Boss, is this an actor?" the secretary whispered in Cassia's ear.
"Whether he is an actor or not, it is enough to prove that this boss is extraordinary." Cassia said solemnly, looking away from the demons, turned and walked towards the door of the hot pot restaurant.
"Welcome, how many of you are there?" A tall elf came forward with a smile.
"Both of you." Cassia looked at the elf waiter and nodded slightly.
"This way, please." The elf smiled and guided Cassia inside.
"You actually use elves as waiters? The monthly salary of an elf with this level of appearance is no less than fifteen thousand copper coins, and the cost is five times that of an ordinary human waiter." Cassia frowned and followed behind the elf. There are also some restaurants Elves or beautiful demons serve as greeters to increase the number of people entering the store.
After entering the gate, Cassia stopped and looked at the magnificent hall with a bit of surprise.
There are hundreds of hot pot tables in this hall of more than 1,000 square meters, which is more than twice the size of Cassia's hall. At this time, most of the seats are occupied by guests, and the boiling hot pot is emitting a hot smell. Very lively.
What surprised him even more was that all the waiters in this hot pot restaurant were elves! ?
Beautiful young elves are scattered throughout the hall, serving guests with smiles.
There are about thirty elves scattered in the hall on the first floor. According to the market price, the salary paid to these elves alone costs four to five million copper coins per month, not counting the salary of the chef.
In their Cassia Hot Pot, the total salary of the chefs, waiters, and managers is only 250,000 copper coins.
"Is it possible that the owner of Maimi Restaurant is planning to expand the scale of Maimi Restaurant's hot pot restaurant? This hot pot restaurant is a replica of Maimi Restaurant?" Cassia looked confused. With such a configuration, the restaurant in Aden Square is probably not the same. It can only be compared to Maimi Restaurant.
"Sir?" The elf who was leading the way stopped, turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Where do you want to dine?"
"I like the excitement, so just choose a middle position for me." Cassia said with a smile.
"Okay, please come this way." The elf nodded slightly and led them to a seat near the middle.
"Please wait a moment, someone will take your order soon." The elf waiter left with a smile.
"Boss, this hot pot restaurant is so big." The secretary looked around and said in shock.
"They also have a second floor." Cassia glanced at the spiral staircase on the left. This hot pot restaurant broke the rules and set up the kitchen on the second floor, and also set up private rooms on the second floor to adapt to the diverse needs of customers.
"Their business is so good, will it affect our store?" The secretary was a little worried, looking at Cassia with a pair of big watery eyes.
"You'll know after looking at the menu." Cassia looked around, standing at the door and seeing that the entire hall was very open. Although there were some green plants embellished with it, it did not affect the transparency of the space at all.
However, after sitting down, I discovered that although the distance between each table and chair was not far, they were cleverly separated by various green plants or thin bamboo curtains to avoid being constantly surrounded by guests at the next table during the meal. Their eyes met, speechless and choked with embarrassment.
Cassia thought thoughtfully, the taste of the dishes determines whether the guests come to the store to consume, and the dining experience determines whether the guests will consume again.
"As expected of the restaurant opened by the owner of Maimi Restaurant, even the details are so well done." Cassia said to herself in her heart, feeling a little heavy.
"Hello, excuse me, this is the menu, please see what you want to order." An elf came over with a menu and said with a smile.
Cassia took the menu, took a deep breath, and then opened the menu.
Looking at the vivid pictures and prices on the menu, Cassia's hand holding the menu trembled slightly, and many beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The secretary leaned forward slightly, glanced at the prices on the menu, and covered his mouth in surprise.
The prices of various dishes on this menu are actually very close to the prices of Cassia hot pot, and even the prices of vegetarian dishes are cheaper than Cassia hot pot.
The elf was a little surprised by the two people's reactions, but he didn't show it and just stood aside quietly.
"A mandarin duck hot pot soup base, and then duck intestines, tripe, spicy beef, and more..." Cassia ordered with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Okay, please wait." The elf took back the menu and left with a smile.
"Boss, what can we do? Their prices are almost the same as ours." The secretary looked at Cassia with a melancholy look on his face and said.
"Shut up." Cassia said calmly, tapping the knuckles of her right hand on the table, and her left hand unconsciously clenched her fist.
If there is an opponent he is least willing to face, it must be Mag.
He must admit that Mag is a talented chef who created such delicious and unique food as hot pot.
And he was just a poor imitator. He never thought about surpassing Mag, and he never even thought about chasing.
He just wants to make some money on the different levels of Maimi's restaurant. There is a mountain between the well water and the river water.
But I never expected that Mag would start to enter the mid-to-low-end hot pot market, and it would be such a big deal.
The price benchmark with Kasia means that they will face the same customer base, and there will be extremely fierce competition between Meirui Hotpot and Kasia Hotpot.
Cassia was indeed a little panicked.
Not long after, the mandarin duck pot and various ingredients ordered by Cassia were served on the table.
The mandarin duck hotpot is a pot-in-pot style. The clear soup is as white as milk, and the red soup is as hot as fire. The strong aroma is already hitting your face with the heat. Just one sip will drive away the chill that just came in from outside.
Cassia looked at the soup pot in front of him, pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. With just this pot of soup, he had already lost.
Then his eyes fell on the dishes on the table. The duck intestines were cut open in the middle. They were cleaned thoroughly and soaked in clean water. The tripe was cut into equal-sized pieces. The surface of the black film also had no trace of scratches. Impurity, all dishes are exquisitely presented, and the degree of completion is no less than that of Maimi Restaurant.
After a moment of silence, Cassia picked up the chopsticks, added a piece of duck intestine, boiled it in the pot, and then fed it to her mouth.
The spicy soup explodes in the mouth, and the crispy texture of the duck intestines is perfectly released during chewing. The spicy red soup removes the fishy smell of the duck intestines, and at the same time gives the duck intestines a wonderful taste and the sound of slag. I almost chewed my tongue off.
"Eat." Cassia said looking at the shrinking secretary, and then continued to add various ingredients to the hot pot.
"Yes." The secretary agreed cautiously, eating carefully and glancing at Cassia from time to time.
A hot pot meal ends in silence.
Cassia paid the bill, got up and left with her secretary.
"Boss, I've already told you at the market that our people will come to guard the door of their store tonight. We will soon be able to determine who their suppliers are. From the ingredients..."
"Okay, cancel all these plans." Cassia interrupted the secretary.
"But……"
"If our opponent is someone else, this method may be useful." Cassia smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "But our opponent is the owner of Maimi Restaurant. He is now a popular person in front of the city lord. In his I don’t want to become the second Bennet when you use such little tactics in front of me.”
The secretary's face changed slightly when he heard this, he hesitated, and then said: "What should we do at our hot pot restaurant?"
"Starting from tomorrow, we will cancel all kinds of activities and close the store for a week. Let the people in charge of the kitchen department go to Mairui Hotpot to eat two hotpot meals every day. I will pay for it and let them figure out how to clean, cut and mix the hotpot ingredients within a week. After one week, if there are any unqualified ones, they will all be expelled.”
Cassia paused, looked at the secretary and said: "Also, you will be responsible for formulating new dish prices, reducing them by 30% from the existing prices. Cassia Hot Pot will next make hot pot with an average price of 60 copper coins."
"If you can't beat me, just run away."
