Chapter 6 Top-Tier Customization, Catering Services
When they arrived at the guesthouse lobby, Su Qing was already sitting at the dining table.
The ceramic master has fully adapted to the pace of life at the mountain retreat these past two days. Every morning at seven o'clock sharp, he goes downstairs, sits by the window, and drinks tea while waiting for breakfast.
"Good morning, Teacher Su," Lin Yi greeted her.
"Good morning, Boss Lin." Su Qing replied with a smile, her attitude ten times more polite than when she first arrived.
He slept very well last night, feeling refreshed and more comfortable than at home. This guesthouse is a magical place, and he naturally felt a greater sense of admiration for the young owner who managed to create it.
A little while later, breakfast was served.
It was just simple porridge and a few side dishes—pickled cucumbers, pickled radishes, stir-fried pickled mustard greens, and a dish of peanuts.
But Su Qing ate with great relish.
The congee was cooked to perfection, the grains blooming but not mushy, soft and tender with a subtle rice aroma. The pickled cucumbers were crisp and refreshing, salty and sweet, making a satisfying crunch with every bite. Even the peanuts in the dish were fried to a golden brown and crispy perfection, sprinkled with a few grains of salt, and incredibly fragrant.
The chef at this inn is truly amazing.
As Su Qing was eating, she saw Lin Jianguo come out of the kitchen and greet him with a smile in another direction.
"Mr. Shen, the kitchen has prepared some fresh ingredients. Please take a look and see what you would like to eat, and I'll cook it for you!"
Shen Rongguang came down the stairs, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your help, Chef Lin."
The two then walked toward the kitchen, chatting and laughing.
Su Qing paused slightly in her hand holding the chopsticks.
Why is it that when it comes to him, it's just porridge and side dishes, but when it comes to Mr. Shen, it's like going to the kitchen to order food and having it made to order?
He's a guest too, what does he lack compared to others?
"Boss Lin," Su Qing couldn't help but ask Lin Yi beside her, "Why was Mr. Shen allowed to go to the kitchen to order food?"
Lin Yi had anticipated that a guest would ask this question, and calmly explained, "Teacher Su, Mr. Shen has been staying in a room at our guesthouse for a long time and has paid a vegetable selection fee, so he can enjoy our top-notch customized catering service."
He spoke with great confidence.
With the added attribute of being a God of Cookery's legacy, the claim of "top-tier customized catering service" is no exaggeration.
Su Qing found this explanation acceptable.
After all, this kind of amazing guesthouse and this level of delicious food are definitely not something you can experience for 500 yuan a day. He once ate at the most famous Michelin three-star restaurant in the United States, which only accepts reservations, and it cost him nearly 50,000 yuan. But the taste of the food at that Michelin restaurant, compared to the chef at this guesthouse, is, to put it bluntly, not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
"How much did Mr. Shen pay you?" Su Qing asked.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and then said truthfully, "Mr. Shen may be staying for a long time. He transferred 100 million to our guesthouse."
Su Qing raised an eyebrow: "100 million? How long can that cover?"
"That's definitely not short," Lin Yi said vaguely.
This isn't a rip-off place. If you only stay for six months, a million yuan would cost over five thousand yuan a day. It's not like this is an international platinum-level presidential suite.
Su Qing suddenly became interested: "One million for six months, okay. I want the same treatment as Mr. Shen. Also, I want to do some creative work here, I hope Boss Lin can agree."
This wasn't an impulsive act on his part.
Since moving into this guesthouse, his creative inspiration, which had been lacking for several years, has begun to resurface. This place has an indescribable aura; staying here, ideas keep popping into his head.
He plans to create a new batch of works here, which will take at least half a year.
Staying in this amazing B&B for six months, enjoying this level of delicious food every day, and still having creative inspiration continuously flow—it's really worth the 100 million.
Two years ago, he stayed in a private aristocratic vacation castle in Florida for three months, spending more than 1.2 million dollars. The accommodations were not as comfortable as here, not to mention the food. He felt nauseous after eating Western food for a week.
Lin Yi's lips twitched when he heard this.
This Ms. Su's BMW 7 Series is only worth a little over a million yuan, right? How come she's as extravagant as Mr. Shen?
But then I thought about it again, there are too many rich people in China, and what kind of car someone drives doesn't really mean how much money they have.
"Okay, Ms. Su, I'll take you to the kitchen and tell my dad." Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
At the front desk, Zhou Xiuying watched as Su Qing transferred another 100 million yuan into the guesthouse account, her face blank.
She had become somewhat numb.
In just a few days, two wealthy individuals decided to book rooms at the guesthouse long-term, with each transferring 100 million yuan.
My son said he was "taking the high-end route"... Could it be that he actually succeeded?
She simply couldn't understand the thought process of these rich people.
After registering, Lin Yi took Su Qing to the kitchen to find Lin Jianguo: "Dad, whatever Teacher Su wants to eat in the future, you can make it for her. She also transferred 100 million like Mr. Shen."
Lin Jianguo was chopping vegetables when he paused, his knife twitching slightly. "Another million?"
Shen Rongguang was watching Lin Jianguo prepare the dishes when he heard this. He smiled and nodded to Su Qing: "Mr. Su, Chef Lin's skills are even better than those of chefs who cook for state banquets. Plus, with the ambiance of this guesthouse, the 100 million yuan is well spent."
Su Qing nodded with deep feeling: "Mr. Shen is right. You can't eat such delicious food and stay so comfortably every day anywhere else."
Lin Jianguo listened to the conversation between the two bigwigs, feeling a mix of emotions.
He already felt incredibly lucky to have Mr. Shen, someone who genuinely appreciated his cooking. And now another one?
Could it be that I've truly had an epiphany in my culinary skills and reached some extremely high level?
He secretly resolved to study some cookbooks properly later. With these two tycoons, each willing to spend a million, here, he couldn't possibly cook ordinary home-style dishes every day, could he?
Lin Jianguo is now bursting with confidence.
I truly had an epiphany.
Studying recipes shouldn't be too difficult, right?
......
Lin Yi handed the two VIP clients over to his father for entertainment, then left the guesthouse and went to the open space in the parking lot.
He found a few wooden stakes about half a person's height and set up his phone next to them.
Yesterday's attempt to ride the wave of popularity was quite successful.
Having tasted success, they naturally wanted to continue riding the wave of "debunking martial arts frauds."
Although the comments section was full of criticism, as long as he could gain followers, likes, and credibility, none of that mattered.
His current method for gaining authenticity is quite clear: post videos to ride the wave of trending topics → spend money on promotion → go viral → likes skyrocket → authenticity increases.
The more followers you have, the more likes you get, and the faster your credibility increases.
More importantly, a large fan base can be converted into customers. He believes that once people come to his guesthouse, they won't want to leave and will definitely become repeat customers, even bringing their friends and family.
As long as the customer base remains stable, he can expand and open branches, and then use more realistic renderings of the Shenghun Village style renovation to carry out the transformation.
He currently prices his rooms at 500 per day, making a profit of over 400. If all twenty-odd rooms are occupied, the profit would be over 8,000 per day.
What if we expand to forty rooms? What if we raise the price again?
