On TV, as Hu Qiongfang spoke, pictures began to appear.

An uneducated widow from the countryside, with her own hands, ran a private restaurant next to Provincial Highway 336, which far exceeded the standards of "state-owned restaurants" in terms of environmental hygiene and service attitude.

At this time, the camera successively captured the parking lot in front of Fangjie Restaurant, a row of neatly arranged seats under the eaves, and the spacious and bright dining hall, with a serving window whose glass was so clean that even a fly would slip on it...

"My goodness~ Why do I feel that with the TV station filming this, it is reasonable for Boss Hu's lunch boxes to be sold at five yuan each?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but mutter.

There are also those who are well-off. After seeing this, they boast to others around them in a low voice: Let alone the state-owned restaurants in the provincial capital, even the hotels for foreign guests, I don’t think the hygiene is as good as that of Boss Hu’s.

"Did you see that? Everyone at the food counter at Boss Hu's restaurant was wearing dust-proof clothing, dust-proof hats, and cotton masks. None of the waiters serving food at the Foreign Guest Hotel wore masks."

"Wow! Then if we go to Boss Hu's restaurant for dinner, wouldn't that be more luxurious than having foreign guests?"

"Hey~ Please stop talking. I guess after today's news story is broadcast, there will definitely be more people lining up to eat at Boss Hu's restaurant."

"No! I must take my wife and children to Boss Hu's house for a meal tomorrow!"

The crowd was chattering, mainly because in the second half of the news story, Hu Qiongfang, the "news subject", had nothing to do with it.

Instead, two middle-aged men with ordinary looks sat there, seriously analyzing what kind of inspiration the emergence of Fangjie Restaurant had for individual business owners across the province, and how relevant departments should encourage more individual business owners to learn from Hu Qiongfang...

These topics are so boring that no one is interested in them at all.

A few old guys, who were not as handsome as Boss Hu, and whose voices were not as pleasant as his, made people feel sleepy.

The crowd was talking about it, and everyone was discussing that they must go to Hu Qiongfang's restaurant tomorrow to try the "fast food" they saw on TV to see how delicious it is.

There are also neighbors who often go to Hu Qiongfang's house to eat fast food, and they are frantically selling it to others, telling them which dishes in Sister Fang's restaurant are delicious at noon and which dishes in the evening are not to be missed.

It seems that he has become a die-hard fan of Fangjie Restaurant.

However, the neighbors' gossip reminded Jiang Tian, ​​who had already watched the show.

People of this generation still have a high degree of trust in traditional media such as television and newspapers. What the neighbor just said is right. After tonight's show is broadcast, starting tomorrow and in the next few days, their restaurant will definitely welcome a large number of new customers who come to eat after watching TV.

Whether you can retain these new customers depends on your preparation.

After watching the show, Jiang Tian immediately called her mother aside, regardless of her joy and excitement.

"Mom, they are right. Many people living along the provincial highway have televisions. I'm sure many of them saw the news report about our restaurant tonight."

"I estimate that either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, more people will come to our house for dinner."

"And these people are basically new customers who have never eaten here before. We have to find a way to keep these new customers!"

Don’t be unprepared when the time comes, when customers come and you don’t have enough food, and it gets sold out. Then they’ll have made a wasted trip and may not come back next time.

Hu Qiongfang's expression also became serious.

"Let's build four more stoves in the yard and hire two cooking masters from outside to help."

"Oh, and prepare more dishes that can be prepared in advance. If the dishes in the front are almost sold out, stir-fry them in the back. They must be ready for sale at the window within five minutes."

"There aren't enough seats in the canteen. If that doesn't work, we can just enclose half of the parking lot. On days when there are a lot of people, only large buses can park in, and cars and vans can park on the side of the road. This way, the parking lot can accommodate more than a dozen tables."

"If I had known there wasn't enough space, I should have enclosed a larger plot of land when I bought it last year," Hu Qiongfang said in annoyance.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian smiled.

"It's better if there's not enough space! I'll ask Secretary Sun to come over later and take some more photos of our restaurant where there are too many people to sit."

“When the time comes, I’ll take it to the town and see if I can ask Mayor Han for help. I’ll grant us a piece of land next to the provincial road to open a branch store… hehe!”

In this way, in a few years, when Provincial Highway 336 is widened, their family will be able to get more residential land.

"Open a branch? There is only one now, and the two of us are already busy. If we open another store, who will be in charge of it?" Hu Qiongfang said worriedly.

Anyway, don’t even think about the Jiang family’s relatives!

She would rather not open this branch than let the Jiang family interfere in their restaurant business.

Unexpectedly, my daughter pointed to the backyard and smiled proudly:

"Mom, how could you forget that we have ready-made helpers at home, and they came to our door on their own, haha~"

Hu Qiongfang's eyes lit up: "You mean...your Aunt Yao?"

“That’s right!”

The person Jiang Tian was talking about was Yao Huifen, who lived in their backyard with her son and daughter.

When selling dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Tian discovered that although Yao Huifen looked like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth, she was actually quite creative in doing business and was quite courageous. Hu Qiongfang entrusted her to look after the store, and she dared to open the door and sell dumplings on New Year's Eve, making a small profit for their family.

What Jiang Tian didn't tell Hu Qiongfang was that she was planning to turn their meal box restaurant into a chain brand fast food restaurant similar to the later "Lao Xiang Ji".

As long as you do a good job in brand promotion and food distribution, control food safety and the taste of the dishes, and provide good quality products at low prices, you will have no worries about running out of business.

Besides, the provincial TV station just gave them a free advertisement. Jiang Tian planned to ask Secretary Sun for help to see if he could make a copy of the news feature film shot by the provincial TV station.

If we open a branch in the future, we must install a TV and a VCD player in the store, and play this news feature film on loop whenever we have nothing to do.

Wait! It’s only 1986, and it seems like VCD players haven’t been invented yet…

No matter! Get a copy first and post it later if you have the chance!

The most important thing now is to seize the time to expand the reception capacity of the head office.

I also need to talk to Yao Huifen and ask her to bring both mother and daughter on board her warship.

As long as Yao Huifen agrees to be the branch manager, she can immediately go to Mayor Han and take advantage of the popularity of this program on the provincial TV station to ask the town to grant them land to open a branch!
