Chapter 22: The Eve
The next day, Fu Yi went to school again, so he specially brought a thermal box made by Yingqi. It just happened to be made last afternoon.
The box was made by Ying Qi and her father to go to the blacksmith shop with the remaining pieces of iron, the upper layer was divided into twelve compartments, and the lower layer was filled with warm water, and it was made into a hand. This keeps warm very well. Because it was three small collectives, I also prepared two pieces of clean oiled paper for him, so that it was convenient to wrap the buns for others.
When it was noon, Fu Yi gave one to a few friends around him, and then mustered up the courage to give it to the other six people.
"Song Gongzi, this, this...... This one is up to you. Fu Yi looked at Song Mingfeng's serious face, feeling more terrible than facing Mr. Song, and finally finished speaking in one breath, and then slipped away.
Song Mingfeng looked at his figure of running away, turned his head to Fan Haoyan and said, "Am I so terrible?" He Guangyao laughed heartily on the side. "Mingfeng, look at you, I usually say don't keep a straight face, everyone treats you as the king of Hades. ”
Fan Haoyan also smiled, but didn't say anything. Just opened the clean oiled paper handed over by Fu Yi, and it was three mini buns. The chrysanthemum petals are layered in layers, and the fragrance comes to the nose.
"Looks pretty good. The paper package is also clean. Do you want to taste it?" Fan Haoyan said.
"It's verbose. He Guangyao directly took one and threw it into his mouth. "Hot, hot!" The juice splashed in his mouth after a bite, fortunately it was already warm, otherwise He Guangyao would have to burn his mouth.
"Zhu Bajie. Fan Haoyan glared at him. "Seriously, no?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's delicious. Not bad. He Guangyao expressed his opinion.
So Fan Haoyan also ate one. "It tasted delicious. Mingfeng, you try. ”
So Song Mingfeng also picked it up and ate it, and then nodded.
At this time, Fu Yi had already handed Fang Sheng another oil-paper bag, which was also filled with three buns. "Whatever you want to eat or not. Then he quickly turned around and left.
"Who is rare. Chen Sheng took the bun and was about to throw it out, but Fang Sheng stopped him.
"Look at Song Mingfeng's side. The three of them looked at Song Mingfeng, and it happened that Song Mingfeng had eaten the last bun.
"Let's try it too. Fang Sheng said that, and picked up the bun and ate it.
Chen Sheng and Guan Jingmo also took a bite each.
"It's ok. "Ordinary. "It's truly unique. The first two are the comments of Chen Sheng and Guan Jingmo, and the last one is the comments of Fang Sheng.
The three of them looked at Zhou Fuyi's direction speechlessly for a while.
Fu Yi was laughing with the other five people while eating.
"I said Brother Yi'er, you are too mini, they are all exactly the same, half a palm is bigger, one bite is not enough. And every time you bring one, where will we have enough to eat? Good brother, you have to share more. Zhao Yu complained.
"My steamed bun shop will open in two days, so you can eat enough by yourself. Fu Yi didn't care about him. "But before it opened, my sister said that I can bring you one every day, hehe, this is called a taste. ”
Today, Mr. is going to teach Fu Yi the next eight sentences, so he first asked Fu Yi to memorize what he learned yesterday, Fu Yi practiced with Ying Qi for a long time last night, and he had already memorized it backwards, and he recited it easily.
"The children can be taught. Mr. Song made a comment, so he added eight sentences today, taught Fu Yi sixteen sentences of the "Three Character Classic", and looked at the words he wrote yesterday, although the handwriting was crooked, but it could be written smoothly, so he nodded. He was taught five more words and corrected some inconsistencies in his handwriting. Writing is not as good as reading, you have to follow the rules and take it step by step.
After going back, Fu Yi taught Ying Qi again. Fu Yi found that as long as he taught his sister two or three times, his sister could memorize the "Three Character Classic" very smoothly, and he couldn't help but be secretly unconvinced, encouraging himself, how could he be stupider than his sister. So I listened carefully to the lectures every day at school, and I tried to recite them repeatedly after school, striving not to be surpassed by my sister. I don't dare to talk to my classmates and friends, even if my sister is very smart, it's too embarrassing to be an older brother if I can't catch up.
Therefore, the speed of learning is very fast, and Mr. Song is very satisfied with this student. It's not the kind of talent and intelligence that can be seen through at all, but it's very diligent and studious. And the progress is also very fast.
Every day, Fu Yi would bring a bun to his classmates. Everyone is very satisfied with the taste, and it is true that it cannot be made in other places. Fang Sheng took one home and asked the chef of the restaurant to try it, but he couldn't make this taste. So everyone was looking forward to the day when their house opened.
The most successful thing about the food strategy is that Fang Sheng and his gang of rich children were ready to bully and bully Fu Yi, so that he would know who was the eldest and who was the second in the school, but because of the short hands and soft mouths, it was finally gone. After all, they eat every day, so why are they embarrassed to do it again.
Zhao Xuan and the others talked to Fu Yi with envy, because the five of them had been bullied miserably before. At this point, Song Mingfeng's group of people did not participate, neither bullied them together, nor helped them.
Fu Yi was said by them, and felt quite lucky, thanks to the fact that he had a good sister.
Finally, after Zhou Chungui went to Fucheng to get the plaque back, he looked at the yellow calendar and chose the opening celebration day of April 17, which happened to be a market again, so it is foreseeable that the business should not be too bad when it opens.
The storefront is based on the various shops they visited in Fucheng for comprehensive reference.
There are two long tables on the left side of the store, each long table is equipped with four benches, and a long small table is fixed in the middle, on which are placed dishes, chopsticks, porridge spoons, small plates, the blue plate is filled with soy sauce, vinegar, salt, chili oil, green onions, ginger, garlic, and the white plate contains a variety of vegetarian dishes: minced cowpeas, lettuce caught alive, cucumber strips mixed with vinegar, cold fungus, lightly pickled pickles, and crispy radish heads.
In the middle is the counter where money is collected. The back is partitioned. Because Yingqi suggested that she should make a simple pure white stove house at the same time, and make it while selling. And it is necessary to clean up the stove house, make people feel clean and comfortable, and make it transparent. Of course, because of the lack of expensive items such as glass, it is only simpler.
On the right is a countertop connected to the counter in the middle. It is used to put the five-layer cage drawer of steamed buns, and the budget is two-layer steamed buns and three-layer buns.
Paper bags are placed under the counter. The stove is on the back right.
In terms of price, after several people discussed, steamed buns were priced at one penny, steamed buns were priced at three pennies, and porridge was priced at two cents. If you enter the restaurant to eat, no matter what you eat, you will need an extra three pennies. In addition, the price of braised eggs is a penny, and the price of fragrant brine is calculated according to each plate, which is also a penny. That is, meat should be on the expensive side, and vegetarian food is cheap.
The price alone is not higher than that of others, but once it is combined, if a person enters the store to eat a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a braised egg, it will cost 14 yuan. The profits are quite substantial.
The real price is made of blue cloth strips and hung below the plaque.
"Sister Qi, wouldn't this be too expensive? Our steamed buns and steamed buns are so small, although they taste better than others. However, it is estimated that people will be full for a penny and a steamed bun outside, and we estimate that it will take four or five to be half full. Zhou Chungui said.
"Yes, what if no one buys it then?" Zhao Yulan was also worried.
"Mother, we want to be a brand. Do you know what a brand is? We have to do our vertical linkage on the smell of parking, smell the fragrance and get off the horse. What is parking, what is dismounting, of course, is to sell fame, sell to the powerful, rich and noble people to eat, not simply sell to ordinary neighbors to eat. That way people won't be able to do it themselves. Didn't I tell you at the beginning, you want to spread your craftsmanship all over the world, let people smell it, and let us know that the taste concept has become a famous brand in Chongqing Mansion. When other places mention Chongqing, they say, "Oh, when I hear about Chongqing, I must go to eat this Zhiweiguan." If you don't eat the pastries and snacks of Zhiweiguan, you won't be called to Chongqing. That's my long-term goal. Ying Qi paused, "Our family is not short of money now, my father now has enough farmland to plant, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, if you want to do it, you have to make a reputation." Otherwise, just open a bun shop, and in the future, my brother will become a showman and an official, and we will still open this, and we will not be laughed to death by others. We want to be famous all over the country, so that others will hear that the official brother is from our family, that is, to say, no wonder, it is from such a family, and there is a background. ”
The whole family laughed and laughed. "Sister, your ambition is too good!" Fu Yi smiled.
"Alright, brother. You have to work hard, too. I'm waiting for you to become a big official so that I can take care of your sister and me. Ying Qi smiled and gave her brother a little pressure.
"Don't worry, Mr. Song said that I am diligent and smart. Although your brother is not a prodigy, he must not lose to Xiaobao and his sister. My goal is to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a senior official!" Fu Yi raised his head and expressed his ambition.
"Okay, they're all capable children!" Zhao Yulan smiled from ear to ear.
"Mother, except for a few classmates from my brother, we didn't invite anyone to open the store, and we didn't know anyone in Ba County. I think we should have a little bit of strategy. ”
"What do you think, just open it, and others will slowly know about our store, and they will come to buy it if they need it." Do you want to invite anyone?" Zhou Chungui scratched his head.
"Dad, you're stupid. Ying Qi glared at him.
"Brother, you come. Ying Qi pulled Fu Yi. Twitter said a few words to him. Fu Yi's eyes widened first, then frowned, and then nodded slowly.
"Mother, I have already discussed with my brother, and my brother will be responsible for the invitation, so before noon on the first day, we don't greet customers in the store, so we can only buy at the counter, so as not to bump into my brother's friends. Ying Qi and Fu Yi said to Zhao Yulan after muttering.
"Your brother only has eleven classmates, so he may not come. Zhao Yulan was a little strange about her arrangement.
"Mother, just listen to me. Zhao Yulan couldn't survive Ying Qi, so she nodded.
"Mother, let's make a little discount on the day of opening. I think so, Xueyun embroidery is okay, we go to the ready-to-wear store to ask for a little bit of cloth that they don't want, that is, the kind of small cloth that has been broken and can no longer make any small things, they have to discard the kind of small cloth strips, and then let Xueyun embroider a small bun as an icon of our perception of taste, and then distribute it in a market in advance, on the day we open, all the cloth strips with this logo can go to our store to get a steamed bun for free, or buy two buns and give a bun. We distributed 200 pieces out, and my budget was 600 Wen, and our actual cost was only about 200 Wen, even if it was all steamed buns, we couldn't lose anything. If we buy steamed buns, we can still earn 200 Wen. ”
Several people looked at Ying Qi and were a little speechless. "Sister Qi, how did you come up with it? You're so smart. Even Xueyun was secretly surprised. You won't lose money at all. And if so many people come, it will be able to become famous at once.
"Mother, I'm already very smart, okay. I went to Fucheng with my father, and I saw a lot. Ying Qi smiled and covered up the past.
"Okay, Xueyun will embroider in Suzhou, none of us here will, and we won't worry about others cheating. And if the business is good, we can distribute it like this every once in a while, and these two hundred strips of cloth can be used repeatedly. I don't have to go to the ready-to-wear store to ask for it, my mother went directly to buy a piece of cloth and came back to make it. Niang can also embroider a little, and she can give Xueyun a hand. Zhao Yulan also agrees with this opinion.
"Mother, you are amazing, how can you do anything. He can make steamed buns, steamed buns, cut clothes, and embroidery. Ying Qi deliberately showed that she was very surprised.
"My mother used to learn a little bit from a little sister. Zhao Yulan smiled, didn't want to talk about it, and said it shallowly.
