Chapter 53. Restaurant Opening

     Li Yaolin did not expect that the mini program had just released the pre-sale of boat tickets and tickets for the seven-day National Day, and it was almost booked in less than half a day. Among them, the online tickets for the second and third days of the National Day were sold out, and a large number of netizens began to clamor for Xingzhou Island to open the reservation function for guest rooms and camping areas for the seven-day National Day.

 

     Peng Shaoyi said to Li Yaolin: “Fortunately, 30% of the tickets were reserved for offline sales, otherwise I was really afraid that those tourists who bought tickets on site would not be able to buy tickets and complain to us again.”

 

     Li Yaolin said: “This is also good. These pre-sale tickets can predict the number of tourists during the National Day, so we can formulate various emergency plans.”

 

     However, the speed at which the tickets were sold out made her feel a little strange. According to the data analysis of the system, these tourists came from all over the world. Suddenly, there were so many tourists from all over the country, and something must have happened.

 

     Later, Manager Qi gave her feedback, and she realized that it was the effect of the live broadcast of the popular science blogger. At the peak of his live broadcast, 300,000 people watched online at the same time, and the time period of this peak was exactly the one and a half hours when he went to eat seafood buffet at noon.

 

     After that, Xingzhou Island was on the headlines again. 

 

 

 

     #Xingzhou Island Seafood Buffet Restaurant opened, the chef made his debut, shocking everyone! #

 

     #How good are the dishes cooked by the robot? #

 

     #The chef of Xingzhou Island Restaurant is an intelligent robot! #

 

 

 

     Xingzhou Island has frequently appeared on the headlines of major news media these days, and netizens have long felt that it is not new, and even think that the other party is too much marketing and is ready to “turn the road to black”. But seeing this explosive title, they still clicked in involuntarily, and then they were shown by the robot of the seafood buffet restaurant.

 

     The video was edited from the live broadcast of the popular science blogger. At that time, the popular science blogger was walking around the food area and introducing the seafood of the restaurant. Then a robot about 1.2 meters tall, snow-white, and full of technology appeared in his field of vision.

 

     The popular science blogger thought it was just a robot similar to the customer service robot in the bank lobby, so he didn’t take it seriously. But when the robot stretched out eight slender mechanical arms from its body, just like a mechanical spider, he was stunned.

 

     The audience in the live broadcast room also paused for half a second and shouted “Fuck”.

 

     One arm of the robot reached into the fish tank and caught a still alive blue grouper. The second arm held the knife, the third arm held a clean towel to wipe the cooking knife, the fourth arm held a scaler to scrape the fish scales, and the other four arms were making teppanyaki squid, sea bream sashimi, etc.

 

     What shocked everyone even more was that another robot came behind. Under its supervision, the robots would obediently disinfect and clean their mechanical hands after cooking.

 

     There were quite a few people watching here like the popular science blogger. Lin Qitong explained: “This is one of the chefs in our restaurant. It’s called ‘Good Delicious’. It’s a top chef in the robot world. The dishes it makes are very delicious and people can’t stop praising it.”

 

     As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva subconsciously when she thought of the breakfast she had last time.

 

     Her reaction was so real that the popular science blogger believed it, and the audience also believed it to a certain extent.

 

 

 

     “Also, this is our supervisor robot ‘Good Safety’. It is responsible for supervising the food safety and sanitation work in the back kitchen. If the chef is not hygienic, it will warn him. Dishes made without meeting the food safety and sanitation standards will be treated as failures by it.”

 

     Lin Qitong continued, “There is also a kitchen assistant robot ‘Good Diligent’. It is responsible for handling most of the seafood here. With them, our efficiency in handling seafood has been greatly improved.”

 

     Although everyone was very curious about the origin, structure and program of the robots, Lin Qitong was unwilling to reveal any of the secrets of Xingzhou Island.

 

     The science blogger considered this as a trade secret and wisely stopped asking.

 

     There are precedents of robots cooking in the catering industry. Although people are fresh about this, they don’t think it’s magical. The only thing people are concerned about is whether the food made by the robot is really delicious.

 

     In order to verify the robot’s cooking skills, the science blogger specially ordered some dishes that need to be processed by the robot.

 

     Lin Qitong reminded him: “We prohibit waste here. If you can’t finish it, you can buy it at the market price. But if you don’t want to buy it but want to waste it, you will be blacklisted.”

 

     Before the popular science blogger spoke, the hater who came over after smelling the smell posted a barrage: “Spend 318 yuan for this service? Blacklist warning every day, what is this if not a threat? Such an island, just seeing the name makes me disgusted!”

 

     When the popular science blogger saw this barrage, he immediately said seriously: “I am very much in favor of the practice of Xingzhou Island. It is common sense to take as much as you eat. And when we entered the island, we saw the blacklist on the LED display at the door. They were blacklisted entirely for their own fault.

 

     “Destroying the ecological environment, stealing on the island, fighting, and even urinating and defecating everywhere, these are not only uncivilized behaviors, there are even those who are suspected of breaking the law! If we don’t control this situation and set an example, how can other tourists visit the island safely ?”

 

     “On this journey, we can see that there are many tourists who come here alone. They put some gifts that cannot be put into the lockers on the beach and go to the sea happily. Are they stupid? Obviously not, because they know that their things will not be stolen even if no one is watching.

 

     “This will raise a new question. Why no one steals here? Do all tourists have very high quality? Not really.

 

     “The only thing we can be sure of is that if you steal here, Xingzhou Island will always find a way to catch you, and the evidence is conclusive. At that time, you will be directly handed over to the police. Being blacklisted is nothing, leaving a criminal record is really what you regret!

 

     “Although I don’t know how it is done, I have to say that Xingzhou Island can give tourists a sense of security. When everyone goes out to travel, many attractions will remind tourists to keep an eye on their belongings. Therefore, tourists are always not satisfied during the tour. They have to guard against others stealing things and guard against others’ personal infringement. But Xingzhou Island is different. There are many tourists who come here alone. They don’t have to worry about losing their property and not being able to find it back. They can relax completely here. “

 

     After the popular science blogger finished speaking, he realized that he had just agreed with Xingzhou Island. Didn’t he come to explore the truth about the glow of the seabed? Are these words too embarrassing?

 

     He didn’t care, because as a popular science blogger, he must be objective about things and people. If it is proved that his previous judgment is wrong, he will never distort the truth for the sake of face.

 

     Lin Qitong did not interrupt, but said after he finished speaking: “It will lose its original taste when it gets cold, try it quickly! ”

 

     The popular science blogger chose a rotating hot pot seat and sat down to taste the dishes he chose.

 

     Although the waiter served the dishes very quickly, the seafood on the rotating hot pot side was always quickly snatched up. Seeing the tourists wolfing down the food, the popular science blogger almost thought that they were from areas where seafood was rarely available.

 

     When he started eating, he understood the tourists.

 

     The deliciousness of these seafoods was so good that he thought it was worth it even if it was 418 yuan, not to mention 318 yuan per person!

 

     He quietly pointed the camera at the plate with ice cubes next to him and whispered, “See, this guy ate five servings of red sea bream sashimi. I tell you, I have eaten red sea bream sashimi in Japanese restaurants before, and I thought it was delicious, but I didn’t expect that the red sea bream sashimi here is really amazing. Compared with Japanese restaurants that cost thousands of yuan, this is really a good deal. ”

 

     The tourist next to him burped. Although he wanted to eat more, he was already very full. If he ate more, his stomach would be stretched.

 

     After the waiter took away the extra plates, the science blogger found that the tourist was also a live streamer. He was holding his phone and talking about his feelings after the meal: “After this meal, I can only say that this seafood buffet restaurant is very sincere. You can see that we have eaten all the way here. The variety of seafood seems small, but they are all very fresh and very big! ”

 

     The popular science blogger thought, isn’t it? Although he was focusing on the robot just now, he also saw the seafood in the food area.

 

     There are processed seafood here, such as red sea bream sashimi, conch slices, shelled mussels, oysters, jellyfish, and some are still alive, such as shrimps, crabs, clams, clams, etc., which look very fresh.

 

     The small blue crabs are five taels, and the big ones are more than one catty. Those who know how to choose can pick the female crabs with full roe. After eating one, you want to eat the second one.

 

     It is said that eating four or five crabs can make a profit, but no one will really only eat blue crabs after coming here, so try everything else and you will be full soon.

 

     These seafood are big, and it sounds like you don’t eat much, but in fact, for diners, it is a great pleasure to eat such good crabs. It is worthwhile to spend 318 yuan on seafood.

 

     The popular science blogger even began to worry that the store would make a loss.

 

 

 

…

 

 

     It is impossible to make a loss.

 

     Blue crabs and sea bream sashimi are basically limited in quantity. In order to ensure that later tourists have the opportunity to eat them, they will be replenished once in the middle of the meal time. If you come late, you can only eat other seafood.

 

     After lunch, according to the preliminary statistics of the hotel management supervisor, a total of more than 500 tourists were not scared off by the price and chose to try it, so the turnover for half a day was nearly 160,000 yuan. Excluding the costs of ingredients, labor, water and electricity, and restaurant operations, the profit was about 40,000 yuan.

 

     Li Yaolin asked: “How is the evaluation?”

 

     “Except for a few who complained about the lack of ingredients and came late and could not eat sea bream sashimi and crab, the feedback from other diners was very good. Mr. Li, you asked people to prepare the feedback card, but only about 200 diners gave reviews. Among them, 127 gave five-star reviews, and the rest all gave four and a half stars. They said that the variety of seafood was a bit limited, so they couldn’t give it a full rating. “

 

     Li Yaolin looked at the positive reviews of the buffet restaurant in the system, and the number did match, which showed that Li Yaolin’s physical method of getting good reviews was feasible, but the premise was that there could be no guidance, such as promises of cashback, discounts, etc. in order to get diners to give good reviews.

 

 

 

     【Seafood Buffet Restaurant (1 star)】

 

      Five-star reviews: 127/1000

 

      Operating cost: 5,000 yuan/day

 

 

 

     Only one-fifth of the people gave five-star reviews, and it seems that this good review is really hard to get.

 

     Or should she purchase from other channels and add more seafood ingredients? But in this way, it is difficult for her to ensure the freshness of the seafood. If it is not fresh, it will lead to a decline in reputation…

 

     After thinking about it, Li Yaolin finally gave up this idea. Five-star reviews are rare, which makes the evaluation seem to have high gold content. As long as the score is not lowered due to seafood quality issues, it is acceptable.

 

     After discussing the seafood buffet restaurant, Li Yaolin asked again: “What about the camping area? ”

 

     “The situation of booking camping sites during the day is not very ideal. There are more people booking for the night. Currently, there are two reservations for the large camping area, four for the medium camping area, and half for the small camping area.”

 

     Li Yaolin is very optimistic: “There are a total of 50 camping sites, and 20 were rented out on the opening day, which is pretty good. ”

 

     She felt that it was time to release the “sea fire” as a benefit for the first batch of tourists who stayed overnight on Xingzhou Island!

 

     So, when the first batch of tourists who stayed in the holiday cabins were feeling that they could finally enjoy the night breeze on Xingzhou Island while walking with their lovers/friends/family and enjoying a relaxing holiday, the fluorescence that suddenly appeared on the originally dark sea surface slowly attracted their attention.

 

     The dots of fluorescence gradually became brighter, as if the stars in the night sky were reflected on the sea surface, and finally burst out with brilliant colors like nebulae in the vast universe. The tourists felt as if they had witnessed the birth of the universe and were shocked.

 

     However, considering the Haize phenomenon, the glowing seabed, the massage beach, and the stars that could not be seen on the other side of the island but could be seen on the island, the tourists actually felt that it was not strange that this scene would appear on Xingzhou Island.
