Chapter 275: Ups and downs in turnover
Xu Shiya came, Zhou An was very happy, eating the oranges she peeled, and asked her if she had eaten them at noon?
"I came over just after school at noon, did you think I had eaten?"
Xu Shiya asked playfully, her eyebrows and eyes were full of happy smiles, and a petal of orange was sent into Zhou An's mouth, she was very happy with it, and seemed to enjoy this state.
"Didn't eat? Then I'll cook two dishes, let's eat together!"
didn't say anything, Zhou An began to move.
Wuxi sauce pork ribs, white-cut mutton, fish head tofu soup, stir-fried small green vegetables.
Xu Shiya said to make less, but he wanted to make this for her to eat, and that one also wanted to make for her, originally he wanted to get two more dishes, but Xu Shiya stopped him.
There was still rice left over from last night, so he just fried it in the pan.
There is still a big pot of braised mutton in the pot, and there is also a large bucket of white soup mutton hanging in the soup bucket, all of which are on fire, and it is unsafe for no one to look at them, so Zhou An put a few dishes on the kitchen and ate them with Xu Shiya.
Wuxi sauce pork ribs, Xu Shiya had eaten what he made before, so when she started eating, she first tasted white-cut mutton.
"This mutton doesn't put chili peppers, can you eat it?"
She was curious.
Zhou An smiled and signaled, "You eat!"
With curiosity, Xu Shiya took a thin slice, dipped it in the dipping sauce, carefully put it in her mouth, her smart eyes turned around, and after chewing a few times, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhou An in surprise, "Hey, it's so fresh! Why don't you have any anger at all?"
Seeing her so surprised, Zhou An smiled with satisfaction, and boasted a little stinky fart: "This is the craft! How about it? It's delicious, right? If it's delicious, you can eat more!"
"I'll try this fish soup again!"
Xu Shiya smiled and squinted at him, and did not use words to spoil his interest, and took a spoon to scoop the fish head tofu soup with great interest.
Zhou An looked at it with a smile while picking up rice in his mouth, in his eyes, Xu Shiya's every move when eating was also so good-looking.
"Hey, you still put meat in this fish head soup?"
Xu Shiya, who was scooping the soup, was surprised again.
A small slice of lean and fat meat appeared in her spoon.
"This is ham, a few slices of ham in the fish head soup are very fragrant, you can taste it!"
Zhou An encouraged her with his eyes.
"I've never had fish head soup like this before......
Xu Shiya said, took a small sip, smacked her lips after drinking, and gave him a thumbs up with a smile on her face, "Zhou An, you really have a hand at cooking! It seems that you are really right in opening a restaurant!"
Zhou An chuckled.
This fish head tofu soup is one of his best dishes, and the owner of a small restaurant where he worked back then once affirmed his fish head soup: "Master Zhou, your fish head soup is absolutely amazing! I dare not say anything else, but we can definitely sweep it here!"
In fact, he didn't put any special seasoning in his fish head soup, and used ginger slices and two pot heads to remove the fish, which added flavor and freshness, and used ham slices, whitened the soup, and poached eggs, instead of like some chefs, the fish soup was stewed not white, and Sanhua evaporated milk was added to deceive people.
The fish head soup with Sanhua evaporated milk, although the color can also reach a very white level, but the fish soup also has a milky flavor because of this, and some people may love to drink that kind of taste, but Zhou An can't look at it.
Because in his opinion, that kind of fish head soup has lost the original flavor of fish soup.
A dish that fails to highlight the original flavor of the main ingredient is actually a failure from a chef's point of view.
Xu Shiya was very satisfied with this meal, too! The dishes that Zhou An carefully cooked for her could not be compared to the meals she usually ate?
……
As the days passed, the business of Zhou An's new store was like a roller coaster.
Although the turnover on the second day of business was not as good as on the first day, there were more than 18,000.
On the third day, sixteen thousand+.
On the fourth day, more than fourteen thousand.
On the fifth day, because it was Christmas Eve, the traffic of the entire food street skyrocketed, and on this night, the turnover of the rampaging crayfish exceeded the first day of opening in one fell swoop, reaching more than 26,000 in one fell swoop.
On the sixth day, Christmas, which is also Saturday, the turnover of the rampaging crayfish on this day is not as much as that of Christmas Eve, but it also reaches more than 21,000.
On the seventh day, Sunday, it stands to reason that the business of the food court should be very good that night, and the business of the rampaging crayfish should also be very good, but in fact, on the contrary, the whole food street seemed to be relatively deserted that night, and the business of the rampaging crayfish did not look rampant.
Chen Fayin, who has rich experience, analyzed with Zhou An, "In the past two days, it was Christmas Eve and Christmas, and many people have a lot of expenses, so I'm afraid they won't come out to eat again in a short time!"
In fact, there is no need for him to analyze, Zhou An himself understands this truth.
In the past, he worked outside, and similar situations have been encountered many times, such as the New Year, and the New Year's is a carnival of various stores, including restaurants, and business will be very hot.
But as soon as the New Year passes, the business in the store will fade out of a bird.
First, after the New Year, most people go to work and don't have time to go out to wave.
Second, it is also because I spent too much money in the New Year, and after the New Year, I had to cut back on food and clothing and live a dull life.
As a result, on the seventh day of the opening of the new Raging Crayfish store, the turnover plummeted to 1,08.
No one came into the store to consume all night, and even the pedestrians passing by the door were pitiful, and those who didn't know thought that the new store of Raging Crayfish was going to fall.
On the eighth day, the turnover still did not pick up, and on the ninth day too.
For about a week, the turnover of Zhou An's new store continued to hover around 2,000 per night.
If it weren't for Christmas Eve and Christmas, a batch of tickets were frenzied into the store, and with such a business, Zhou An estimated that he would have the heart to jump off the building.
"earning" about 2,000 in one night, which seems to be a lot, compared to the salary of ordinary people.
But in Zhou An's new store, it is an out-and-out bleak business, excluding various costs such as rent, staff salaries, etc., and the turnover is about 2,000 a night, he is definitely at a loss.
Fortunately, in the days of the holidays, he made a lot of money, so he can still hold it.
During this period, his uncle Tian Benye came to tell him about letting Tian Xiaofeng come to work in his store.
At that time, Zhou An didn't have to bother to think about it, and directly pointed to the extremely bleak scene in the store and said: "Uncle! Do you see how many tables of customers are eating here? Business has faded like this, how dare I invite people? I'm thinking about reducing the number of people, so let's talk about it later! After a while, if my business in the store can improve, let's talk about it?"
At that time, Tian Benye looked at the two or three tables of guests in the hall, and could only nod helplessly.
Because it was around 7 o'clock in the evening, it stands to reason that it was the best peak period for the hotel's business, and he still remembered the grand occasion of the first night of Zhou An's restaurant, which was incomparable.
Before leaving, he sighed and patted Zhou An on the shoulder and comforted: "Xiao An, don't be too anxious! Doing business, it's all good and bad for a day, maybe after a while, your business here will get better again!"
As for whether he believed it or not, just look at the way he shook his head and sighed.
