Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Opening Is Imminent
Barbecue is a down-to-earth thing that many people love, skewers are more like a culture, smoke and fire chat a little brotherhood, skewers drink and brag, as the saying goes, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved by a skewer, if it can't be solved, then have another meal.
Xin Andong just arrived home and went to the county seat non-stop, he had to go to Tong's house, it was one thing to forget the beef he promised to take yesterday, and more importantly, he wanted to ask Brother Zong for another favor, and wanted to ask him if he could buy some beef from his friend, if there was mutton, it would be better. Of course, beef and mutton skewers are indispensable for skewers, but beef is definitely more expensive than pork, and Xin Andong is not ready to buy much, so he wants to buy a piece to test the water first, if the residents of Qingshui County are too expensive, then he will give up decisively.
The stupid father was with him, Xin Wenfang was not at ease, and Xin Andong couldn't carry that bag of beef.
When he arrived at Tong's house, Brother Zong was also there, Xin Andong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't beat around the bush, and directly told him about selling barbecue in the lobster restaurant, and then asked him if he could help and ask his friends if he could sell him a little beef.
I didn't expect Brother Zong to be easy to speak, so he directly asked him to use the bag of beef on hand first, just make a little bit of beef jerky, Xin Andong didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and his mind was still a little confused when he went home with a bag of beef with his stupid father.
The Xin family didn't come out of the stall today, the family went to the store to clean the inside and out, the problem of tables and chairs still has to be tangled, who knows that luck can't be stopped, a restaurant next door is ready to rent out due to bad business, and the tables and chairs left behind and some pots and pans have become a problem, and they can't give the employees as wages, who wants so many bowls at home, the boss is worried, Xin Andong quietly stepped forward to ask.
"Uncle, what are you going to do with these tables, chairs, and chopsticks?"
The middle-aged uncle held a cigarette in his hand, sighed and said, "What else can I do, I can sell it, I can't sell it and send it to the scrap yard to see if I can exchange it for a few dollars, the waiter's salary is not enough, I still have to sell it for some money." "He ran a restaurant at that time to see that other people could make money, who knew that the master was difficult to invite, they were all latte rice bowls in the public canteen, who rarely came to a small restaurant like them, the restaurant was open for less than a year and saw that it couldn't hold on, he just wanted to redeem the store as soon as possible, so he couldn't lose money.
The shop in the downtown area is not worried about selling, but the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs left over from the restaurant have become a big problem, and the new one he bought at the beginning also cost him a sum of money, and even in order to look good, he also specially invited someone to carve the pattern on it, all the white porcelain bowl blue pattern is very beautiful, just throw it away can be more painful than his heart.
But he was too particular at the time, this patterned porcelain bowl is good-looking, flashy, and the price to be sold is twice as expensive as others.
It's really sad.
Xin Andong's eyes lit up, like a child who couldn't help but want something he liked, and he said to the boss, "Uncle, I see that your porcelain bowls are very beautiful, I want to buy them." ”
"Do you want to buy it?" the boss was pleasantly surprised, then saw that the other party was still a teenager, and said hesitantly, "I don't sell two pairs of pieces, I have exactly sixty pairs of chopsticks here, if you really want it, you have to take them all, it's best to let your parents talk." ”
"Uncle, wait for me. Xin Andong said hello and walked into the next door and called Xin Wenfang.
The middle-aged man watched him walk into the next door, and the hope in his heart was instantly ignited, he threw away the cigarette butt, stood up and stared at the door next door with good eyes. A few days ago, I heard that the shop next door was rented out, and I wanted to open a store, and the kid was probably the boss's son, and he wanted to buy his dishes and chopsticks, and it seemed that it was also a cooking restaurant business.
This is a play, the middle-aged man's heart is like a cat scratching and waiting for Xin Andong to come back, he pondered that his dishes and chopsticks are specially customized with patterns, the price must not be low, and those who don't understand the market may be able to make a profit, the man has a calculation in his heart, standing at the door of his restaurant and waiting silently.
Soon, the man saw the boy pulling a middle-aged woman out, and the woman's face was impatient, as if she had whispered two words to the young man, and the young man pouted and was unhappy.
When the middle-aged man saw it, he immediately felt a sigh in his heart.
"Big brother, my child has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he pulled me to buy a flower bowl, we have a lot of chopsticks, and the bowl with flowers can produce more fragrant rice, he is a little kid fooling around, big brother, don't worry about him, I'll come out and say, I'm sorry to delay my eldest brother's time." After speaking, Xin Wenfang patted his son on the shoulder and reprimanded, "Are you still unhappy? Your father and I are so busy that we don't even have time to drink saliva, you can make trouble, when can you learn from your sister! There are dishes and chopsticks, tables and chairs at home, and you still need to buy them, and you have flowers in your eyes?!"
After listening to Xin Wenfang's words, the boss's face changed suddenly, and he looked at the woman reprimanding his son in embarrassment, his mouth was bitter, and he saw that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, so he hurriedly grabbed the woman who was leaving, and persuaded, "Big sister, my family's dishes and chopsticks were only made a few years ago, eighty percent new, and carved flowers, no worse than those of state-run hotels. ”
"I'm not as knowledgeable as my eldest brother, I'm just a peasant woman who farms in the field, but I know that whether the business is good or not depends on the craftsmanship," Xin Wenfang looked unhappy, but she was dragged by her son's hand and coquettish, so she had to say to the boss helplessly, "That's it, big brother, I'll pay five yuan, I bought your dishes and chopsticks, if it weren't for the children, I don't want to spend this tongue, it's useless to be beautiful." ”
The boss frowned, "The eldest sister said that she laughed, I got my bowl of chopsticks back for twenty yuan, and you cut me fifteen yuan as soon as you turn over your mouth, the eldest sister is also in business, business is not like this, if you really want it, count you fifteen yuan." "The boss took a step back.
"Fifteen is not worth it," Xin Wenfang shook his head, dragged his son who was about to make trouble and turned around to leave, just stepped into the door, suddenly remembered something, and said casually to the boss with anger between his eyebrows, "The tables and chairs of the eldest brother's house are also going to be sold?
Fifteen yuan of dishes and chopsticks are reluctant to buy, how can it be possible to buy more expensive tables and chairs, the boss has no hope for the two of them, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, took a puff, and said casually, "Eight tables are not empty, seventy yuan to take away." This is the lowest price the boss can give, he thinks that this big girl is fooling her, and she definitely doesn't buy it intentionally, so the price is really not high.
Seventy yuan and eight tables, although it is eighty percent new, it is almost impossible to buy a table of the same color and size at this price, Xin Andong pinched Xin Wenfang's palm.
Xin Wenfang understood in seconds, so she frowned in embarrassment, and then said under the boss's stunned gaze, "I gave my eldest brother ninety yuan, eight tables and those stools, and sixty pairs of dishes and chopsticks to take away together, they are all real people, and it is fate to be able to do a business with the eldest brother when I go out, how does the eldest brother think of this price?"
In the end, Xin Wenfang called Xin Dazhuang, and happily moved all the tables, chairs and chopsticks of the restaurant next door to his own store.
When he bought these things, he spent almost two hundred yuan, and in the blink of an eye, he sold them to others, and he only got ninety, not to mention half of them!
Xin Andong didn't know that the restaurant owner at this moment was about to be suspicious of his life, but he was happy, he only spent ninety yuan to buy these ninety percent of the new tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks without much effort, and moved them from next door, and there was no shipping cost, isn't it worth being happy?
Although the money was spent, Xin Wenfang was a little painful, but since he decided to open a store, the money was spent on the blade, the key is to see that the store that was empty before was full of tables and chairs, and those engraved dishes and chopsticks were really beautiful, and the money spent was immediately forgotten.
She was once again proud of her son for being so smart, she was a little nervous just now and was afraid that she would not play well, but she didn't expect her son to be calm, until the boss let go, and the mother and son of the Xin family took these tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in one fell swoop.
"Son, why are you so calculating with such a little head!" Xin Wenfang rubbed his son's head and said happily and excitedly.
Xin Andong saved his head from his mother's arms, combed his messy hair, and said, "It's not enough to have tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, you have to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen, you have to sell two iron pots, you can't lack spoons and shovels, you have to buy some plates, and you have to find a blacksmith to beat a barbecue stove, and there are still many places to spend money. ”
Xin Wenfang's face was happy, and it hurt when she heard that it was going to cost money, but when she caught a glimpse of her son's old god's expression, she immediately scolded with a smile, "Looking for your mother to be happy, right, I am reluctant to spend money, but I still have to spend it, and it is like seeing no one when your mother has more buckles!"
Just be willing to spend money, Xin's first lobster restaurant Xin Andong is never allowed to play casually, and the Xin family will develop other branches in the future, which is a symbol on behalf of the Xinjia lobster restaurant.
He had never been in business in his previous life, and the Xin family's parents were even more blind, in this case, Xin Andong could only try to follow his own memory, but the very little family background showed that Xin Andong could not let go of his hands and feet, fortunately, it was nothing, don't forget his own job in his previous life, but he was a careful accountant.
This Saturday and Sunday, although there was no stall, but it was almost busy with the Xin family, Xin Wenfang's handkerchief wrapped in the money ticket continued to decrease at a visible rate, she clutched her chest and bit her teeth for a while, but when she saw the lobster restaurant look new, she instantly recovered.
The oven that was made by the blacksmith was delivered on Sunday evening, and Uncle Wang's lobster was also delivered as soon as possible. In the small kitchen in the backyard of the lobster restaurant, Xin Andong and the third sister are in full swing making all kinds of seasonings and sauces. The several baskets in the yard are full of vegetables picked from home, as well as those bought from the vegetable market, the lobsters are jumping around, and the small fish are cleaned by Xin Wenfang, and the seasoning prepared by Xin Andong is being put in the pot to pickle.
Grandma Xin took her grandfather and stupid father to string the lot, the beef she got back from the Tong family had been seasoned as early as yesterday, and it was cut into pieces of small diced meat waiting for the skewers, potatoes, leeks, eggplants, enoki mushrooms, tofu skins and lotus roots, these cheap vegetables had already been cooked and waited for the strings, and there was a plate of chicken wings and duck wings next to it, don't look at just these things, but it has already taken out all the money of the Xin family, and used all the money earned from selling lobsters during this time.
It's already dark outside, many of the shops on the street have closed, and everyone in the Xin family is struggling with the time, they plan to stay up late, and the lobster restaurant will open tomorrow, in order to be able to sell things and sell them at a good price, everyone is working hard.
