Chapter 33: Food & Beverage Industry

Before the reform and opening up, there was no private business practice, but in the 80s, although the private sector was developing rapidly, it was still strictly regulated, and it was not until 1992 after the speech of the Southern Tour that the private economy was completely freed from the shackles and developed rapidly.

In the eighties, state-run restaurants were everywhere, and in the early nineties, despite the impact of private restaurants, state-run restaurants were still plentiful.

In this city, there is a time-honored state-run hot pot restaurant called Xu Fu Restaurant.

After completing the registration of the enterprise, Guo Wendong took his sister to Xu Fu Restaurant a few kilometers away.

The two of them came to the door, and there was no counselor in sight, perhaps the position of counselor was not set up at all.

It's already night, after entering the hotel lobby, Guo Wendong looks around, the hall is full of steam, steam rises from the steaming hot pot, the diners have eaten the hot pot with relish, about half of the tables have guests, and the business is not bad.

Guo Wendong found a vacant seat to sit down, and until this time, there was still no staff to greet him.

When she was in high school, Guo Liyun never went to a restaurant once, and it was not until a few days ago that her brother took her to eat in the restaurant for the first time.

What is the taste of shabu mutton hot pot? She was full of novelty, witnessing such a lively scene, the aroma of the hot pot came, and she was even more excited about it, and she was already greedy.

Guo Wendong is a little unhappy, until now, no staff has paid attention to it, and the service attitude is really bad.

At this time, a table next to the guest left, and a waiter cleaned up the table.

Guo Wendong raised his hand to her and said, "Waiter, order!"

The waiter just glanced at him, didn't stop, and said impatiently, "Don't you see I'm busy? ”

Guo Liyun looked at the menu and told her brother that she wanted several dishes.

Guo Wendong also looked at the menu carefully, there are three kinds of hot pot bases, including regular hot pot side dishes such as beef and mutton.

After deciding on the dishes to order, Guo Wendong called the waiter again.

That's when someone like a minister came over.

He looked flat and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Guo Wendong said: "I've been sitting down for so long, why are you here now?"

The minister said-for-tat: "You first take a good look at what dishes you want to eat, and I will naturally place an order for you!"

In his eyes, it would be a waste of time to come and wait for customers to think or discuss what to eat.

It's really good, Guo Wendong sighed.

Guo Wendong asked for the bottom of the clear soup pot, and then said the side dishes, after the minister recorded it in the small book, then a waiter came to serve tea, and after a short while, the waiter served the soup pot, put it on the gas stove on the table, and turned on the fire.

Guo Liyun said with great interest: "Brother, aren't you that this hot pot restaurant is a time-honored brand, you see that everyone eats with relish, it must be delicious." ”

Guo Wendong said: "What do you think is wrong with this store?"

Guo Liyun was stunned and said, "No problem!"

In her eyes, she really doesn't think there is a problem, maybe in the eyes of many people, there is no problem, anyway, they are used to it.

In Guo Wendong's eyes, there is a big problem, in the state-run restaurants in the eighties and nineties, the waiters in the iron rice bowl are very angry and have a very poor service attitude.

Because of this, this kind of restaurant was eventually eliminated in the development of the times.

Subsequently, various side dishes came up one after another.

After the hot pot boiled, the two put the side dishes into the pot, and Guo Liyun ate them with relish.

Guo Wendong also ate it, according to the taste, it was actually quite passable, and he just passed in Guo Wendong's mind.

In this day and age, the service of state-run restaurants is indeed poor, and private hotels are better in this regard, but in fact, they are not much better.

Even if the service attitude is poor, compared with private restaurants, some state-run restaurants still have certain advantages, that is, hygiene and product quality.

The media has repeatedly reported on the food hygiene problems of some private restaurants, and it is not surprising that there are food accidents in private restaurants, and state-run restaurants will generally do a better job of food hygiene, without the need for water and oil, gutter oil, and basically there have been no similar problems.

What's more, the taste of this restaurant is passable.

Xu Fu Restaurant is the best state-run restaurant in Nanzhou, and other state-run restaurants have either closed down or been contracted to private operators in recent years.

After eating for a while, Guo Wendong asked the waiter for some seasoning.

The waiter pointed to a table not far away and said, "There's it there, won't you go get it yourself?"

After Guo Wendong got up to go, the waiter nagged: You have a lot to do!

Before Guo Wendong went to the stage, there were many large bowls here, which were filled with sesame sauce, garlic paste, bean curd, sesame oil, red oil, leek flowers, light soy sauce, sesame seeds and other seasonings.

After eating enough, Guo Wendong said to his sister: "The service is too poor, if you don't make changes, it will go out of business in a few years." ”

In the original history, Xu Fu Restaurant's business situation became worse and worse after the next year, and it was finally acquired by a private person a few years later.

Guo Liyun was puzzled: "It seems that there is no problem, the restaurant I went to last time is not much better, the time-honored store here tastes good!"

Guo Wendong commented: "The taste and texture are barely passable, there is room for improvement, the service attitude is really poor enough, and there is basically no marketing means." If I were to open a hot pot restaurant, it would definitely be a hundred times better. ”

Guo Liyun was surprised: "Brother, you don't want to open a hot pot restaurant, do you?"

Guo Wendong smiled mysteriously and said, "It's completely possible. However, the time has not yet come, and we must do a good job of Meiduobao before we can do the foundation for the next step. Do what you need to do first, and then go your separate ways tomorrow to expand your retailers. ”

If Guo Wendong said this sentence when he was still in his hometown, Guo Liyun would just be joking and bragging, in the past ten days, she has seen the advantages of herbal tea products developed by her brother, and appreciated her brother's excellent marketing methods, she no longer doubts her brother's ability.

Guo Liyun smiled brightly, adding a bit of beauty.

After paying, the two of them went out to the door and looked at their watches again, it was not too late at eight o'clock.

Guo Liyun said: "Brother, I want to go to the makeup shop on Yonghu Road to learn thrush and makeup, and I will use the money I share dividends." ”

Since the beginning of the week, she has made changes in her clothing and maintenance care, and has not involved makeup.

Guo Wendong said: "Now it is not working time, your time and money are at your disposal. ”

After the two took the car back to Yonghu Road, Guo Liyun went to a makeup shop, which not only sold cosmetics, but also made up for people and taught them makeup.

Guo Wendong went directly back to the rental house and seized the time to make drinks.

The environment of the rental house is really not good, and when the factory is mass-produced in the future, he will move to the community to live.
