Chapter 187: Ms. Hu's Versailles Quotations

When Han Sishu followed the county leaders, he had been to many state-owned restaurants and hotels. However, he could swear with confidence that no state-owned restaurant had ever given him so many surprises like Fangjie Hotel.

There were many details that he hadn't thought of himself.

The last time he came, the open space in front of the restaurant was full of cars coming to eat, but he didn't notice it at the time. This time, because they wanted to have a meeting with the business owner, they came at 9:30 in the morning.

As soon as the car turned to the entrance of the hotel, a young man in a blue uniform immediately made the gesture of a traffic policeman directing traffic and neatly guided the car that Mayor Han was riding in to the marked parking space.

The parking space is painted with white lime and has parking direction arrows.

There is even a distinction between small and large parking spaces. Small parking spaces are for cars and vans, and large parking spaces should be for buses.

After getting off the bus, there is a cement sink on both sides of the "parking lot" with words such as "wash hands", "wash lunch boxes", and "add water" written on it in white paint.

Han Sishu nodded secretly, this is indeed much more hygienic.

Unlike some restaurants, which only have one faucet at the toilet door, every time the long-distance bus stops to eat, a bunch of people crowd at the toilet door, queuing up to wash their hands and lunch boxes, and even wash their feet in the summer, making the hygiene a mess.

For a mysophobia like his, taking a long-distance bus in the summer is a nightmare!

Walking over from the parking lot, I saw a few cement troughs under the eaves. What was transplanted into the cement troughs were not flowers or plants, but reeds that can be seen everywhere by the river!

It's no wonder that reeds grow very fast as long as there is water and soil, and they don't wither as easily as flowers. In the summer, planting a row of reeds at the door is both unique and refreshing.

When you walk into the restaurant, you won't feel the heavy smell of cooking fumes like in other restaurants, and there's even a light scent of mugwort in the air.

Jiang Tian personally walked beside Mayor Han and introduced them to him and the town's propaganda officer one by one.

"We clean the dining hall every morning and evening, and then burn some dried mugwort in a charcoal pot, which can repel mosquitoes and insects and purify the air."

In fact, the most convenient way is to spray disinfectant directly. Isn't it? Mugwort is free, haha~

In order to welcome the inspection team led by Mayor Han, Jiang Tian also made some minor renovations to the interior of the hotel.

In the past, after entering, customers would pick up a tray at the door and go directly to the window to get their food.

Now, Jiang Tian asked someone to make a row of narrow and long shelves to separate the food serving window from the dining hall.

In this way, the food serving window will be less contaminated by droplets, and there are reserved spots for product display on both sides of the shelf.

Jiang Tian put all of them in her own rice dumpling gift boxes, seafood gift boxes, and local specialties that she wholesaled from other manufacturers.

Han Sishu stood in front of the shelf and admired it for a long time, and even asked whose idea it was.

"It's my daughter's fault! She can't concentrate on her studies at all. Instead, she's obsessed with all these weird things!" Hu Qiongfang complained beside her.

There was a hint of Versailles in his tone.

Han Sishu couldn't help laughing: "Comrade Hu, if you say this, you will be hated! You should know that there are many girls in this world who can study, but it is rare to find a girl as good at business as your daughter. This is your blessing."

Hu Qiongfang was also somewhat proud, and could not help but show off to Han Sishu:

"At first I complained that this row of shelves was not bright enough and blocked the light, but who knew that after we put them up, our local specialties sold so well!"

"Mayor Han, you don't know that in the past two days, dozens of people have come to our house to visit this shelf."

"I have a sister whose family also runs a breakfast business. When she saw the shelf my daughter had made, she wanted to take it back for herself. I tried my best to persuade her and introduced her to the carpenter who made the shelf. Only then did she stop."

It’s easier for others to talk to him, but Secretary Sun from the town’s cultural and radio station, looking at this row of shelves, also wanted to move them back and use them himself.

This thing is so well made. It couldn't be more suitable to use it to store newspapers and showcase their excellent reports!

Han Sishu nodded in approval: "This shelf is well made. It not only increases the restaurant's turnover, but also helps promote our county's local specialties. It kills two birds with one stone."

As expected of a leader, he looks at issues from a different perspective than ordinary people.

When they reached the food window, Han Sishu wanted to go inside to take a look. Jiang Tian was well prepared and immediately asked someone to bring out some homemade dust-proof clothing, dust-proof hats, and masks. She explained to Han Sishu with an apologetic look:

"In order to ensure the safety and hygiene of the dishes, our restaurant has a rule that all staff entering the cooking and serving areas must wear dust-proof clothing, dust-proof hats and cotton masks."

Aren’t these sanitary conditions too formal?

It’s even more standardized than the state-owned restaurants in the provincial capital!

Han Sishu took the dust-proof suit, took off his coat and put it on.

While putting on the mask, publicity officer Xiao Sun raised his camera and asked his leader: "Mayor Han, do you want to take a photo here? I'll develop them and send two to the newspaper."

Han Sishu nodded: "Go ahead and shoot."

With a click, the photo that was published in the provincial newspaper a few days later was taken.

At noon, Mayor Han and his entourage had a special "fast food" meal at Fangjie Restaurant.

Why is it called "fast food"?

Of course it’s because the dishes are similar to the stir-fried dishes in other restaurants, but you don’t have to order the dishes and wait for the chef to cook them, and the price is cheaper than ordering dishes in a restaurant.

Han Sishu ordered a plate of amaranth with garlic, a plate of tiger-skin green pepper, a bowl of steamed egg with minced meat, and a dish of braised pork with pickled mustard greens, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus a small bowl of rice, a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, and a plate of kimchi, all for less than two dollars.

The food is clean, delicious, and the portions are generous. No wonder Fang Jie Restaurant has been so crowded with customers within just one year since it opened, and people have to queue up to eat during peak hours.

When Han Sishu and others were almost done eating, Fangjie Restaurant was already full. Those who were queuing up behind to buy fast food did not mind because there was no place to sit, and simply carried their trays and sat under the eaves to eat.

The scene can be said to be spectacular.

Secretary Sun shoveled the remaining rice into his mouth in a few mouthfuls, then ran off to take pictures with his camera.

I originally thought that the photo of Mayor Han wearing a dust-proof suit and inspecting with township officials could be used as the accompanying picture for the submission. But now, looking at the huge crowd of people, Secretary Sun couldn't help but feel entangled.

What should I do? This photo of a long queue seems to be more suitable as the picture for this post!

This Fangjie Restaurant is indeed worthy of its reputation. There is so much to write about it.

From the neatly marked parking lot at the entrance, to the dedicated washbasins on both sides, to the display shelves separating the dining room and the guest room, even the toilet in the backyard is specially built outside the wall to prevent contamination of the food in the store, with a small door in the middle, and you can only go out to the toilet...

These details might not be noticed if you don't pay attention, but once you notice them, Secretary Sun really wants to write down every one of them in the manuscript.

These are all the highlights!
