For several days, the business promotion of pig-killing dishes has been tepid, saying that it is not good, and the favorite diners are full of praise, and after a few days, the daily sales of pig-killing dishes are also good.

Say it's okay, but it's far from being a hit, and there are always some customers who don't like it at all, and they don't have any interest in the pork belly and fat sausage inside.

A few days later, Xia Wenjing made a statistic.

On the first day of the official sale, 21 copies of pig-killing dishes were sold.

The next day, 28 copies were sold.

On the third day, 33 servings.

Day 4, 37 copies.

Day 5, 36 servings.

Day 6, 37 servings.

Day 8, 35 servings.

Day 9, 38 servings.

In nine days, from the fourth day of the official sale, after the sales of the pig killing dish reached 37 copies on the same day, it was as if someone had cursed it, and until the ninth day, the daily sales still could not exceed 40 copies.

It stands to reason that such a small shop, a certain dish can sell more than 30 copies in one night, which is already a very good result and a properly popular dish.

Compared with the previous crayfish peak season, the sales of more than 100 copies a night, the performance of pig-killing dishes is inevitably disappointing, not to mention, the price and profit of pig-killing vegetables are not as good as crayfish.

A pig-killing dish costs 25, and a crayfish 45, the price difference is nearly half, but the sales volume is not as good as the daily sales of crayfish in the peak season.

Is the guest out of money?

Apparently not!

Crayfish 45 servings, so many people bought them every day in the first few months, and the guests were rich at that time, but now they are suddenly poor?

After nine days, Zhou Anxin already knew that the reason was still in the audience.

The audience of pig-killing dishes can't be compared with the audience of crayfish, the two are not of the same magnitude at all, most people love to eat crayfish, but pig-killing dishes are not well-known in the local area, and there are more people who don't eat pork belly and fat intestines than he imagined.

The time has come to November, after a heavy rain the day before yesterday, the weather has become significantly cooler, especially at night, before 9 o'clock, it is okay, the rampaging crayfish can still have an hour or two full time, but once it is past 9 o'clock, not only his rampaging crayfish, the entire food street has become deserted.

Catering in such a small city with distinct seasons is too much affected by the seasons.

Zhou An noticed that a few shops on this street have adjusted their business hours, some start at noon, some start in the morning, but close early in the evening, making this food street even more deserted after dark.

In recent days, the business of rampaging crayfish has dropped significantly.

This can be seen in the turnover at the time of the handover of accounts every night.

On the night of the heavy rain, there were few diners, only the takeaway business was better than usual, and the turnover for the day was less than 2,500.

Yesterday, business picked up slightly, with a turnover of 5400+ that night.

Tonight, due to the cold air, the turnover was affected again, around 3800.

There are fewer and fewer people eating crayfish, and there are not as many people drinking beer as in previous months.

The sales of Xuanjiu and Erguo first-class liquor are selling well, but this new profit cannot fill the crayfish and beer at all.

Affected by the season, not only Zhou'an's violent crayfish, but also most of the store business in the entire food street have been affected.

It is not that there are no people who have risen against the market, but there are relatively few.

For example, there are several barbecue restaurants and spicy hot restaurants in it, and after the cold weather, the popularity of those restaurants is obviously better than in summer.

The hottest thing is the mutton skewer stall set up by a few young people who have saved the mutton skewers, and the mutton skewers that cost five cents a string are the most popular among diners because they cut meat directly from the freshly slaughtered mutton every day and skewers on the stalls.

In addition, even the business of Fu Man Lou has become a lot colder.

The business of killing pigs and vegetables did not meet his expectations, and Zhou An's mood was obviously not high these days, and a pair of naturally melancholy eyes seemed more and more melancholy.

Even with the staff in the store, they don't dare to smile too happily in front of him these days, for fear of stimulating him.

In fact, most of the store's employees have been happy lately.

The salary is the same as before, but the daily work is two or three times less, that is called a cool, even the work clothes on the body are a lot neater, and every day finally no longer have to be busy hands and feet are soft, and a stinky sweat. The only thing they regret is probably that there is no bonus this month.

There are also a few people who are not very emotional.

For example, Xia Wenjing, she is worried about Zhou An, afraid that he is too young to withstand such a blow, and she is still a little distressed when she looks at Zhou An's melancholy eyes every day.

Maybe it's the overflow of maternal love?

For example, Tan Guang.

As a professional chef with pursuits and ideals, Tan Guang has always had high requirements for himself, and he has been in Zhou An's small shop for so long, and he has not seen him lower his requirements for himself.

He came here mainly for a high salary.

On the other hand, I also want to steal Zhou An's skills in making meat dishes.

On top of that, he wanted to learn a little bit about running a small shop.

But recently, the business of rampaging crayfish has faded, and he feels a little too idle, which makes him feel that he is improving, which makes him very uncomfortable.

So he began to study new dishes, on the way to work every day, buy a few materials, and after 9 o'clock, when the store was not busy, he concentrated on research in the back kitchen, but the dishes he studied, Zhou An looked at it a few times and lost interest.

Because Tan Guang studied all the Cantonese cuisine of his hometown.

Of course, Cantonese cuisine is high, except for airplanes flying in the sky, except for ships, and cars running on the ground, there is almost nothing Cantonese food can't do.

Coupled with the delicacy and lightness of Cantonese cuisine, as well as the technology of making bird's nest and abalone wings, it has been very popular with rich people in recent years.

But Zhou An opened a small shop, how many of the real rich people will come to him to consume?

For the general public, Cantonese cuisine is too light, fade out of the bird!

Although he was not interested in the new dishes that Tan Guang had recently researched, Zhou An did not stop him.

After all, this kind of pursuit of learning attitude is worth encouraging, not to mention, he is also afraid that if Tan Guang is too idle, Tan Guang will not stay here for long.

……

Zhou An's mood here is not high, and he is disappointed in the recent business, but on the side of Fumanlou, the head chef Chen Fayin has a different opinion.

Huang Jinsheng's office, at this time, Huang Jinsheng was sitting in the boss's chair, and Chen Fayin, who was wearing a chef's uniform, stood in front of the desk.

Huang Jinsheng's expression was gloomy, he frowned and looked at Chen Fayin, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Chen, what's going on? Do you know how much the business in the store has faded recently? If this continues, let alone making money this winter, I will lose money in Fumanlou! The rent is tens of thousands of dollars every month, and the salaries of personnel, water, electricity and gas are also tens of thousands, not to mention other costs, but if you look at our business recently, I will transfer all kinds of mountain delicacies and game from Huangshan to you every day, and the business is still light like this, and it can't be compared with previous years at all, you can tell me about it yourself! What's the reason? Is it because the quality of the dishes in your kitchen has dropped this year?

Chen Fayin lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Boss Huang, the quality of the dishes in our kitchen has not deteriorated!"

Huang Jinsheng sneered, leaned back in the chair, and looked at him coldly, "Didn't go down?"

Chen Fayin hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and pointed to the entrance of the food street, "Boss Huang, a Shuxiangge hot pot restaurant has recently opened outside the food street, and it has been full every day recently, do you know? There is also a rampaging crayfish, although their crayfish business has been weak recently, I heard that there are still many people who bite sheep at their fish, kill pigs, or duck soup, Wuxi sauce pork ribs or something, and go there to consume! And many of them are our original old customers!"

Huang Jinsheng's face became gloomy, "Shuxiang Pavilion...... Raging Crayfish ......"
