"Our family sells skewers in Shuangqing and rents a very small storefront. It's about the same size as your storefront, near the Liberation Monument. But now the rent is expensive, more than 7,000 a month. Wang Qian said.

In the previous conversation with Zhang Tong, she found out that Jiang Hua did not tell Zhang Tong about the specific situation in her family. Zhang Tong didn't know that his family had five hot pot restaurants in Shuangqing.

So Wang Qian directly said that she actually sells skewers. It's too normal to sell skewers in Shuangqing, and there aren't too many people doing this business. And Wang Qian is not wrong to say that she sells skewers, after all, Jiang Aijun did sell skewers at a street stall twenty years ago.

It's just that the skewer business has become a little bigger now.

Wang Qian said that the skewers are the first to say, how to choose the materials, how to choose the pepper and sea pepper in the base, that is like a number of treasures. Zhang Tong nodded as he listened. What Wang Qian said was right, and Zhang Tong did not doubt that Wang Qian and her lover were really selling skewers in Shuangqing.

Wang Qian said these words like this, and at the same time chatted with Zhang Tong seemingly casually about the hardships of setting up a stall.

Because those hardships were all experienced by Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun before, there was no sense of disobedience when it came to it.

When the topic of rent was discussed, Wang Qian asked, "Boss Zhang, how much does your store's rent cost for a month?"

Wang Qian's words were very smooth, because there was so much foreshadowing done before, so there was no abruptness at all in asking like this now. It's like two peers discussing the survival of food and beverage in a modern city.

Zhang Tong had almost no defense against Wang Qian's question, and he didn't feel that Wang Qian was actually testing himself. Because this is an asymmetry in information and psychology.

"What about the rent?" Zhang Tong said after washing the cutting board after handling the eel: "If it is here, it will cost at least 18,000 a month, which is the least." Generally, the average rent in this area is already 25,000 a month. Well, the above accommodation is not included in this price. ”

Zhang Tong's shop is two-storey, and there is a large one-bedroom house of more than 50 square meters from the independent back door. Generally, other people rent out the storefront and don't rent the above accommodation together, of course, if you want to rent it, you can also do it, that is, you have to add more money.

Wang Qian opened her mouth wide: "Obediently, is the housing price in Huaihai City so expensive now?" She continued to ask with a frightened look: "Boss Zhang, if you don't make 50,000 yuan a month in this small shop, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep this store." ”

Generally speaking, this is true, and the gross profit of the catering industry is 60%. The bulk is rent and labor, and a monthly turnover of 50,000 yuan has a gross profit of 30,000 yuan, and if you calculate it with a rent of at least 18,000 a month, you can still leave 12,000.

Then pay the water, electricity, gas and management fees with the remaining money, and I am afraid that I can only get 8,000 yuan in my hands. It can be said that this is the minimum and minimum, and the store below this turnover is basically impossible to do.

Therefore, on the street where Zhang Tong opened a store, there are a few people like him who use regular shops to open restaurants, and even if there are, they are bakeries with higher profits and unit prices.

The few small restaurants that open restaurants almost all start with breakfast, breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Eighteen hours a day is the norm. There is no such thing as a break when you don't have a meal.

Most of these small shops are opened by husbands and wives with their relatives, and they have to be very diligent to survive in Huaihai. If they don't make 3,000 pieces of running water a day, they are all called busy in vain.

Xiang Zhang's restaurant, which only serves two meals at noon and in the evening, is definitely an outlier on this street.

Zhang Tong's shop is like a leisurely stroll, and a profit of several hundred and one thousand a day is enough for him. The opening of this store is just a way of life for Zhang Tong, rather than really being too busy to live or die.

And the confidence that he can do this is because this storefront and the upstairs house are his own family property. So after listening to Wang Qian's words, Zhang Tong didn't think too much and said, "Actually, it's okay." I don't want to be particularly busy because I'm alone in the restaurant. If I'm too busy, I can't do it well. ”

Wang Qian looked at Zhang Tong's shop, and it was indeed very clean. The floor and wall tiles were shiny and shiny, and no smudges were visible. Even the kitchen was well organized. The exhaust fan on the cooktop looks like it's been in use for quite some time, but there's no oil staining it.

This is obviously the effect of careful scrubbing by the owner every day with detergent such as dish soap. Generally, the exhaust fan of the hotel is oily, and the flies fly up and can't stick to it.

In addition, the gaps between the kitchen floor tiles do not have the black color of ordinary restaurants, and the black color is caused by the long-term contamination of oil and dust. Wang Qian could also see the white beauty between the joints of the floor tiles.

This is incredible, Wang Qian thinks that Zhang Tong has cleaned up the restaurant kitchen cleaner than Jiang Hua's bedroom.

Wang Qian hadn't paid special attention to these before, but now when she heard Zhang Tong say about hygiene, she really paid attention to it.

"Really, your shop is really clean. How many people's kitchens and dining rooms are not as clean as yours. It will take a lot of time to clean. Wang Qian was indeed surprised, she had seen many restaurants and hotels in the north and south. This was the first time she was shocked by the cleanliness of the shop, even though it was only a small shop.

"Where to eat, the food is going to go into people's mouths in the end, how can you get into your mouth if it's not clean?" Zhang Tong said as a matter of course.

"Isn't there no time to run the turnover? Wang Qian still said incredulously.

"It's okay, I don't have that high requirements for turnover. Zhang Tong looked a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, this house belongs to my family, and I don't have to pay rent, so I can still support it." ”

Oh, and the store is my own. Wang Qian nodded. Then she said seemingly unintentionally: "Boss Zhang is really a patient person." Your parents must be happy to have a child like you. Unlike my family's Jiang Hua, he doesn't know how to take care of himself when he grows so big. Twenty-eight years old, still like a child. ”

"I don't know when Jiang Hua will be able to mature like you, by the way, Boss Zhang, how old are you now?" Wang Qian chatted while helping Zhang Tong pick vegetables skillfully. It looks like the aunt next door at home gossiping.

"How? That's a bit of a hassle to say. Zhang Tong thought about it for a while, and briefly talked about his age and the things about the returnees.

After listening to this, Wang Qian said quietly: "Even if you are thirty-five years old, it is nothing." Now people live longer. Thirty-year-olds are still like a lot of children. It's a pity that you're just like this, it's a pity for your parents. I didn't see my son grow up to be so good. ”

Zhang Tong smiled and did not answer. A bowl of yellow eel jelly ended in a seemingly homely chatter between the two. The dishes are done, and the topic is over.

Zhang Tong strongly asked Wang Qian to bring back the freshly made yellow eel gel pot, which was regarded as a return gift for sausages. In the end, Wang Qian excused herself, but finally took it away with a smile, and said that she would wash the small casserole and bring it back after eating.

Zhang Tong stood at the door of the store and looked at Wang Qian's departing back, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Whew~, it's dangerous. I was almost tricked by this woman, and if I hadn't asked about the running water in the store, I would have almost spoken stupidly. How can Jiang Hua have such a powerful old lady. almost revealed a flaw, Zhang Tong almost broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about the seemingly daily conversation just now.

How many times have there been hidden blades, if one of them is not corresponding, I'm afraid that I haven't fallen into the abyss. Fortunately, I was able to cope with it properly.

What should be all right? It's like a spy game!
