The leisurely January passed without much surprise, and as soon as February arrived, everything seemed to pick up speed and become busy.
At the end of January, the renovation of Joy Soon Loy Restaurant was completely finished. Cheng Su led all the staff in a thorough cleaning, and after that, the furniture and stoves that had been prepared in advance were all moved in. Then, they did another round of cleaning inside and out, preparing for the opening.
The new restaurant has three floors; the first and second floors are halls, and the third floor consists of private rooms. However, the first floor, equipped with a reception desk and a seafood fish tank, is relatively narrower than the second floor. Despite this, the space is much larger than before, and there’s no problem fitting ten or eight tables.
The first floor also has two separate areas for the kitchen and pastry department, connected to the main hall, which is a significant upgrade compared to simply setting up a kitchen in the yard as before.
Cheng Su toured the new restaurant along with a few shareholders, and upon seeing the kitchen, she laughed and said to Old Song, "You’ll really have a place to show off your skills from now on."
Old Song smiled modestly and said, "Not at all, not at all. But this kitchen is really well designed, the counter is big, so even if we get a large banquet order, we won’t have to worry about where to put the dishes."
Luh Kai, standing nearby, said, "Then Old Song, you’ll have to create a few more signature dishes and make our Joy Soon Loy famous as soon as possible."
"Certainly, certainly."
Ning Ge, who often found Luh Kai annoying, folded his arms and said, "Luh Kai, don’t you know Joy Soon Loy’s reputation is already well-established? Old Song’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall attracts lots of diners! Clearly, you don’t know enough about Joy Soon Loy!"
Faced with Ning Ge’s provocation, Luh Kai merely smiled and said, "It’s my mistake, I’ll make sure to thoroughly study the rise of Joy Soon Loy."
"Don’t listen to his nonsense; there’s no history, it’s just a little restaurant started from scratch!" Cheng Su retorted.
"Still, that’s not easy." Luh Kai replied sincerely.
