Chapter 81: Helping (Part 2)
Finding that someone had entered the store, Tang Jianhe hurriedly put down the menu, looked up and saw that it was Lin An, and he greeted him, "Lin An, it's here!"
Lin An walked to the No. 9 table where he often sat and looked around, not understanding Tang Jianhe's expression just now, at this time, after the peak of students' meals, there were not a few people at such tables in the store. Sitting down, he glanced at the back kitchen door and replied, "There is something to delay at noon, and it is a little late." β
"Sit down, and I'll bring it up." With that, Tang Jianhe turned around and went into the back kitchen, and when he came out, he had a tray in his hand, and on the plate was a casserole that was slightly larger than the rice bowl.
Put it in front of you, and as the lid is lifted, the aroma is fragrant. Even if he didn't listen to Tang Jianhe's introduction, Lin An knew what this so-called new dish was. In 01, in this Changxi County, there were almost no casserole noodles and porridge, and after a few years, this kind of shop was quickly rolled out.
"I tasted it, I went to the sea sand to learn from people. Seeing that there were no new diners coming in, Tang Jianhe sat down directly across the table and said with anticipation, "There is not much difference in the ingredients, but I use a casserole to cook, and I feel that it tastes much better!"
As soon as it was served, the things in the casserole were still very hot, so Lin An picked it with chopsticks and ate a few bites. The noodles and rice noodles of Tang Ji themselves are delicious, and they taste even better when they are made into a casserole.
"It's delicious, and the noodles are a lot stronger. Lin An praised it from the bottom of his heart, and looked up at the fan that was stopping on the wall. After the holiday, the temperature seems to drop suddenly, and it is not too hot at noon. It's just that......
That time, when I heard Lin An's construction, the business in the store suddenly improved a lot, and now the store is going to launch new dishes, Tang Jianhe not only wants to hear praise, but also wants to know what are the shortcomings. Seeing that Lin An wanted to speak and stopped, he said with a smile, "Hehe, if you have something to say, you can be polite to me." β
"The taste is very good, but the casserole will take a little longer, right?" Lin An put his chopsticks on the casserole, and when he saw Tang Jianhe nodding and admitting, he continued, "Tang Ji is basically for the students of the first and second middle schools, and it is often the case that the store is full as soon as the meal arrives after school. Also, making a casserole is time-consuming, and the price is more expensive than the soup powder, which is ...... in terms of students' spending power alone."
Tang Jianhe's brows furrowed when he heard this, after learning the casserole, he only thought about making the taste better and the launch more popular, but it was not as comprehensive as Lin An thought.
"If the main source of customers is not students, it will be very good to burn pot noodles. In addition, the high school curriculum is relatively tight, and students generally eat quickly, even if the consumption power allows, it is estimated that some will choose soup noodles. Lin An thought about it and said, "It's not that it can't be done, Tang Ji still has to promote soup powder, cook less pots, and try to make a little higher price, there is an obvious comparison ......"
"That's right. Tang Jianhe nodded while listening, and then smiled at Lin An, "Look, please come and taste it first." Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, I have planned to change the casserole powder to the main push!"
Looking down and seeing that the pot powder was colder, Lin An took two more bites of chopsticks, raised his eyes and saw Tang Jianhe sitting opposite him in a daze, and his face floated with the sad look he saw when he entered the door, so he asked curiously, "Uncle Tang, is there something wrong in the store?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Tang Jianhe, who was looking at the menu, smiled embarrassedly, seeing that no one had entered the store for the time being, and those who were eating in the store would not leave immediately, he motioned for Lin An to continue eating, and sat next to him and chatted, "When you came over today, did you see that some shops on the street were closed?"
Lin An eats a lot of breakfast and dinner here, but rarely comes at noon, just now I came to see a few shops pΓΉ closed, thinking that they were closed for rest after the time, or they have not come back to open the door after the long vacation with the students. Listening to Tang Jianhe's question, he knew that he had guessed wrong.
"Anyuan Square became popular, and the shops on the street here, the larger ones, tried to squeeze into the Anyuan Building, and the smaller ones also moved to that vicinity. Now the East District is preparing to open a new bus line, and by the way, the old commercial street will be demolished and rebuilt. Tang Jianhe turned his head to look at the store and sighed, "In the past two days, I have found a shop near the school, the small ones don't want them, the big ones are too expensive, and who is willing to transfer them out if the location is good." β
Lin An stopped his chopsticks. No wonder Tang Jianhe was so worried, after thinking about it carefully, when he came to Tang Kee, he felt that there were more students on the street than usual, because many stores were doing clearance promotions, and this was the reason.
"In the morning, I went to see another shop, in addition to the location is more partial, the size of the space, the rent is also suitable, just by the third middle school. Tang Jianhe patted the menu in his hand and said with a smile, "When Tang Ji moves places, you have to come again." Hehe, it's time to exercise, walk a few more steps every day!"
Seeing Tang Jianhe's reluctant smile, Lin An didn't have to guess at all, it must be that Tang Jianhe was not satisfied with the newly found shop, and if the location was close to No. 3 Middle School, there would be many fewer student customers than here.
The incident of the blackboard report that day came to mind again, he put down his chopsticks and coughed, "An Yuan has not been soliciting investment, I heard that the fifth floor is the catering center, and there are empty shops, there are so many customers every day, why don't you move there?
Tang Jianhe's eyes lit up and darkened, and he said self-deprecatingly, "You think you can enter there if you want to!" It's okay at first, but now I heard that only three applications are accepted a day, and I don't know if I can approve it in the end." Besides, what is the rent going up there now, and these shops that go in later have to pay another deposit, and An Yuan will really think of ideas to collect money! Alas, this deposit alone is difficult enough, and you have to decorate according to the high specifications mentioned by An Yuan......
Lin An lowered his head, the corners of his mouth grinning.
In order to pass the audit, some even promised to pay the whole year's rent and other conditions at one time, in order to raise the company's next funds for the development of the square, so that the merchants could pay a certain deposit, which is the method he came up with to solve part of the funding gap.
"Uncle Tang, what, my cousin works in Anyuan, if you want to move in, you can find him, the security deposit and the rent, I heard that Anyuan has a preferential quota, it should be negotiable!"
"Huh?" Tang Jianhe was stunned, and after reacting, he asked in a cut voice, "What is your cousin doing in Anyuan, office?"
"I don't know, it seems to be the assistant to the store manager. Lin An looked left and right, then took the pen that Tang Jianhe put on the table to write a list, tore off a list, wrote Yang Wenmin's mobile phone number on it, and said, "I'll go back and call my cousin, Uncle Tang, if you really want to move over, just ask my cousin to see if there are any preferential places or something." β
Lin An often comes to the store to eat, although he is not very generous, but he does not care about the price, Tang Jianmin knows that Lin An's family background should be good, but he didn't expect Lin An to have a cousin in Anyuan, or the assistant to the store manager of Anyuan Plaza.
Regarding the preferential quota mentioned by Lin An, he didn't know if it was really true, and he didn't know if it was useful to contact Lin An's cousin, but when he thought of the shop he "fancied" in the morning, he decided to try it, just in case. If you can really "go through the back door" into the Anyuan building, of course it would be good to have less rent, and the most important thing is to see if the deposit can be reduced!
Tang Jianhe carefully put away the list with his mobile phone number written on it, saw Lin An bowed his head and ate the powder, remembered that he was chatting here, and the powder in the casserole should have been soaked a long time ago, so he hurriedly got up to interrupt Lin An, picked up the casserole and said with a smile, "Don't eat it, the casserole won't taste good when it's cold, I'll make a new one for you." Hehe, whether you can help or not, thank you, uncle has a treat today. β
"Thank you, Uncle Tang. At this time, no matter how polite it was, it was not suitable, and Lin An had to accept it with thanks.
After lunch, Lin An was sent out by Tang Jian and enthusiasm.
After coming out, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, if he really moved the store, it is estimated that if he comes here to eat again, Tang Jianhe will not collect money, in this way, he is embarrassed to come to eat, but fortunately, if Tang Ji moves to the Anyuan Building, it will be far away, and he will have an excuse not to go.
On the way to school, he found a phone booth to call Yang Wenmin, told him about Tang Ji, and then rushed to school. As soon as I walked downstairs to the new teaching building of the first year of high school, I bumped into Tang Xiaonan standing at the entrance of the building, talking softly with a girl.
