Chapter 291 Immersive Experience at "Unforgettable Spicy Hot Pot", New Store Opening Immin
Upon entering the store, the two were even more amazed.
The high ceilings make the interior of the shop spacious and airy, and looking up, you don't feel cramped at all.
The shop has a floor and a half of usable space, with wide and exquisite red pillars standing inside, each with a gold relief carved at the top and bottom.
From a distance, they resemble a pillar stabilizing the sea; upon closer inspection, one discovers that the reliefs are actually carved with various pictures of spicy hot pot ingredients, each one incredibly lifelike.
The shimmering green light that we saw from the outside was actually the constant green backlight emitted by the half-height dining table that spanned the entire interior space, standing out conspicuously against the backdrop of deep red.
The gray-black square-shaped floor tiles, understated yet elegant, are quietly laid out in the shop, their presence seemingly only to silently accentuate the shop's brightness and brilliance.
The entrance is used as a boundary to cleverly divide the space.
On the left, three rows of tables are arranged in an orderly manner, spaced apart from each other, which is generally suitable for two to four people to dine together.
Walk through the empty corridor in the middle on the left, and at the end, you will see the staircase leading to the second floor quietly waiting.
The staircase is entirely enveloped in red, with both the steps and the handrails being a striking shade of red.
The most innovative feature is that each step has a hidden display screen embedded in its vertical surface.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs, one can easily see the blessings and good wishes for food on the facade of each step, which brings joy to the heart.
At this moment, after her initial surprise, Kong Nishang excitedly ran to Bai Mengran's side.
She was immediately drawn to the highly creative staircase design and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
Then, she stretched out her fingers and began to carefully count the steps, reciting the beautiful messages word by word:
"A life where one has no worries about food and drink is auspicious; "It signifies a prosperous life."
Two steps to eating without gaining weight, wishing to maintain my figure as before;
Three steps to a full stock of snacks, enjoy countless delicious treats;
Four-step milk tea with sugar, sweetness fills the heart;
Enjoy unlimited barbecue in five steps and let your taste buds dance!
Six steps to dessert delights, happiness accompanies you every moment;
The seven-step hot pot is piping hot, its passion burning like fire;
Eight-step delivery service ensures smooth operation; delicious food is available anytime, anywhere.
Jiubu's late-night snacks are amazing; the nights are no longer lonely.
Delicious meals every ten steps, life is made better by food!
After reading it aloud, Kong Nishang pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up with excitement. "Wow, what a wonderful meaning! Sister Bai, what should I do if I want all ten steps? I have to step on them and get some of this good luck!"
After saying that, she actually started stepping onto the stairs.
With each step she took, the steps beneath her feet glowed with a soft light, as if truly guiding her towards the path where her dreams would come true…
Seeing how enthusiastically she was stepping on the stairs, Bai Mengran couldn't help but be infected by her joy and followed her up the stairs, wanting to take a look at the layout of the second floor.
Above the steps, the spaces on both sides suspended above the first floor have been cleverly designed into small private rooms, making the second floor an elegant private room for large gatherings.
There are at least dozens of private rooms, suitable for dining with family and friends.
After the tour, the two returned downstairs and went to the most crucial right half of the area.
The space mainly consists of a long row of dining tables arranged in a "回" shape, paired with comfortable high stools for one person each.
But that's not all; its desktop background is clearly unusual, obviously containing some ingenious design elements...
Passing through this U-shaped table area, on the far right of the shop, a row of transparent, built-in freezers that fit into the wall comes into view.
The various spicy hot pot ingredients are neatly arranged in separate compartments.
The variety of dishes is simply astonishing!
This was the first time Bai Mengran had ever seen a mala tang restaurant with so many kinds of ingredients. It seemed like every ingredient that could be used for blanching was listed in this freezer...
The shock she was witnessing at that moment could only be described as "astounding"!
"My goodness, how come there's so much food?! Wait, why is it all raw...?"
Kong Nishang excitedly approached, a new question arising in her mind: "Sister Bai, can all of these be used for mala tang? There are so many! If I had to choose, I'd probably hesitate for a quarter of an hour, oh no, at least forty-four minutes..."
She hadn't noticed that the entire row of freezers at the far end was filled to the brim with food!
Curious, she took a closer look and was surprised to find that all the dishes inside were still raw!
This reminded her of the hot pot that Sister Bai had treated her to that day. Could it be that the so-called mala tang (spicy hot pot) is similar to that hot pot?
"You're right. The advantage of this mala tang is that you can choose the ingredients you like and take as much as you want."
Just like hot pot, the fun lies in the process of freely choosing your favorite ingredients after they've been cooked in the broth!
After Bai Mengran explained in detail, she nudged Kong Nishang and said to her, "Yiyi, hurry up and go pick out the ingredients before anyone else comes!"
Excuse me for a moment, I'll be ready to open for business once all the staff are settled!
Upon hearing that Sister Bai was busy, Kong Nishang obediently and sensibly replied "Oh," and then ran off to the food area to study and ponder the matter by herself.
Bai Mengran quickly called Xiao Yi from the back office, asking her to send over more waiters, as the opening of the new store would likely involve a large workload.
In less than five minutes, Xiao Yi personally led a group of new employees to report for duty.
The moment Bai Mengran saw this group of people, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, which immediately created an awkward moment...
Although Xiao Yi didn't understand why Boss Bai smiled as soon as they met, her strong professional skills allowed her to continue performing her duties without changing her expression.
"Mr. Bai, I've arranged for someone to come to this shop to provide service from May 1st to June 5th. I'll adjust the schedule as needed based on the actual business situation. Is that alright with you?"
Xiao Yi had already synchronized the information with the twenty employees that Boss Bai had given her that morning, and had also assigned tasks to each of them.
At this moment, Bai Mengran's attention was still focused on this group of new employees who all looked like Lin Hua from the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
For some reason, whenever this group of people appeared, she couldn't help but want to laugh, because she would always imagine herself in the TV dramas they were acting in...
It seems we should be more careful about using actors from the show next time. The immersion is just too strong, especially when all those characters from the show are standing right in front of her. She was completely stunned.
"Ahem, Xiao Yi, now it's your turn to assign tasks to them based on the job requirements of this store!"
Um, remember to assign two of the best-looking people to greet guests at the entrance...
"I understand, Mr. Bai, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away."
After Xiao Yi responded, he immediately turned around and went to assign tasks to the others.
Bai Mengran has it much easier now that she doesn't have to worry about these kinds of trivial matters.
Seeing that everything was ready, she asked Tongzi to help announce that the new store of "Unforgettable Mala Tang" was officially open!
