Chapter 524: New store, a good start...good luck?
Unexpectedly... the new store was put into operation by accident.
The opening time was set at 1 a.m. on January 5th. It was said that a fortune teller (but according to Mr. Nanami, he was just a guy wearing sunglasses and doing cosplay) had calculated that it was an auspicious day for the opening.
However, until twenty minutes before the opening, I still had no real feeling about it and was even prepared to give up on the first day.
My mother had no intention of interfering with the business strategy, but she was very determined that the drink menu she had drawn up must remain intact.
However, the problem lies in this menu. It was rushed to my door last night.
The high-end Morandi color scheme and the exquisite patterns specially designed by the designer cannot cover up the impact of the cold price.
"The lowest is one thousand yuan, the highest is six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan..." It is at least twice as high as the market price, and we don't even know what it tastes like. Who on earth would be willing to spend money to buy this drink?
And the names of these drinks.
Apart from the most basic [Bu Li Bu Qi Fruit Tea] which sounds a bit interesting, the rest are all weird species that were brought from somewhere.
[So good that you'll go bankrupt Milk Latte] Latte is coffee with milk added, why do we have to repeat it again, it's milk latte? Also, how can something so delicious go bankrupt? With this name, only people who are so depressed that they hope to become paupers will buy it.
[KunKunKunKun Tea] and [NanNanNan Tea], just reading them out loud gives people the feeling that even a normal person would be considered a stutterer.
[Work is shit coffee], even if it is true, and it is linked to Nanami Kento's famous line, but it is still hard to accept that the word "shit" is in the name.
Mom, it’s not that easy to make money in our two-dimensional world.
My eyes continued to move downward.
[I really can't think of a name like Shui], this is not even going to be a role. If you really can't think of it, then forget it. Why bother to come up with a name like this? It might as well just call it Shui.
Next line.
【water】.
I:"........"
Oh, so [I really can’t think of a name for the water] is coconut water, and [water] is just pure mineral water, that... that’s fine too.
But, at the end, what the hell is this [(●—●) milk tea] and [(?6?1_?6?1) milk tea]! It's so abstract that it's hard to read. What should I do when customers come to order? Should I make an emoticon on the spot? !
In short, for various reasons, I feel that even if today is the first day of opening, probably no one would be willing to come and pay.
Although it is located in a bustling area, there are many competitors around it, and the new store has no reputation. Now the price alone is enough to discourage a lot of people.
However, the result was quite different from what I imagined.
Without any discounts, not only were all the seats on the first and second floors of the store filled with people, there was a long line outside the store, and even the online reservation orders were suddenly postponed to a week later.
The reason why it was only a week later was because we were only open for a week.
The reason why the store is so popular...
"So this store is a Jujutsu Kaisen-themed store. Is that the store manager? I have such a wild imagination. How did he find a group of cosplayers who look so similar? So cool!"
"Why aren't Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Fushiguro Shinobu in the cast? I really like them. It's a bit of a shame."
"Teacher Nanami, I bought ten cups of [Overtime is Shit] to bring back for my colleagues. Can I do a stamp collection with you while I'm at it?"
"I bought twenty cups. Can you recreate the famous scene from the anime? I can add thirty cups!"
"Look, look, that's the cosplayer of Itadori Yuji, he has such a sunny smile, I'm his solo pusher."
"Sister Ding is here too. She seems to be hitting Tiger Stick on the head. This is too realistic."
What they said was basically what I was thinking when I first met Gojo Satoru and the others.
However, after knowing the truth, I felt a mysterious sense of satisfaction: “Haha, you didn’t know that they are actually the prototypes.”
"........."
The above remarks, and similar ones, filled the entire store, and the turnover soared to 100 million yuan in just two hours.
Although some people have complained before that no one would buy it at such a high price, but... yes, it is so easy to make money in our two-dimensional world.
"Is this really okay?"
Because I am not a cosplayer, although I also work at the front desk, I have much less work to do than others. I looked at the technical college students who were running very fast in the store, almost making smoke from their feet, and asked Principal Ye Moth, "They are all children. Isn't this too hard for them?"
"That's nothing." Principal Ye Moth's expression was inexplicably filled with emotion. He looked at me with very complicated emotions. "In the past, we had to work around the clock to exorcise cursed spirits. In the summer, when we were short of manpower, we had to work day and night."
Me: ...What's the difference between this and exploitation? And Principal Ye Moth, is it really okay for you to say this in front of me? I can't stop feeling like a social animal.
"But...looking at you guys now, it seems like you have quite a lot of free time." I blinked and asked in confusion, "Is it because you just happened to have some free time, or has the situation improved a lot now?"
"Well... although we still have to go to work, because... because the strength and number of cursed spirits have been greatly reduced, everyone including Wu and Jie has a lot less work to do."
"Even if there is overtime, it is beyond the control of the Curse Spirit." He replied in a deep tone, "This is all thanks to...thanks to someone."
I originally wanted to ask who this "someone" was, but after thinking about it, I gave up.
Because when he talked about this "someone", he seemed to feel very heavy.
"In short," Principal Ye Moth patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Don't worry about their health, just use them boldly. If they get tired because of this, it only proves that they are useless, not your problem."
I:"……"
Ah, Principal, you are their principal and also a teacher. Don’t you think there is anything wrong with saying this?
I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but was stopped by a sudden voice.
"Who is the manager of this store? Come out here, quickly!"
