Xiahao Street used to be a new and necessary place to connect Longmenhao Wharf and Shangjie. It is one of the most representative old streets in ZQ, which used to be very prosperous, but now, this street can only be regarded as an old street, a place forgotten by the prosperity of the city. The prosperity is nowhere to be seen, but a feeling of being through the vicissitudes of life is coming, full of the precipitation of the years.

Wu Xiaoli took a few people into an inconspicuous shop in the corner alley, but there was no signboard. The restaurant is run by a couple in their sixties, there are no waiters, the old man is in charge of ordering and serving the food outside, and the old lady is in charge of cooking in the kitchen. Fortunately, the area of the small shop is really small, with a total of five long tables, which is more than 10 square meters. So it's kind of busy. It was just over five o'clock, and there were already three tables of people, and business seemed to be good.

Wu Xiaoli knew the purpose of Chen Cong and others, and quickly ordered three plates of grilled fish, the boss glanced at Chen Cong and a few people with some differences, three plates of grilled fish for four people to eat a little too much, generally speaking, it is enough to order a plate of grilled fish and add a few plates of side dishes. But the boss didn't say anything, and there was no reason for the guests to order food.

"I've been here for a long time. Wu Xiaoli looked at the back of the boss leaving and said, "I remember that their grilled fish tastes very good, and the business used to be very hot, but now in the Internet era, the boss is probably too lazy to promote, and the word-of-mouth stores will never be as good as those Internet celebrity stores, so now they are not very famous." However, the old ZQ in the neighborhood should have heard of this one more or less, many years, and I had it when I was a child. ”

"Well, let's eat and see. Chen Cong nodded and said, "Let's have two bottles of beer, clear your throat, you have eaten lunch and dinner, and your mouth is numb." ”

The table of three plates of grilled fish was full, and there was almost no place to put cups, so Chen Cong and the others naturally would not care. I put down the wine glass in my hand and couldn't wait to taste it.

"It's spicy. Jiang Huiqin just put the chopsticks into her mouth and screamed.

"Huh. Wu Xiaoli smiled and said, "This is not the kind of big store outside, there are few outsiders, and there are many locals who eat, so the taste has not been improved, and it is more spicy." ”

Chen Cong and Zou Zhanye glanced at each other and smiled in unison.

"That's it, this smell is definitely funny. Zou Zhanye said with a smile.

"You guy is the material for opening a restaurant, and his vision is not bad. Chen Cong laughed and said, "This spicy Nanjing people can't stand it, put less is it, this fish is absolutely grilled, I haven't eaten such a good heat in an afternoon, this black fish almost has a bit of a melt-in-your-mouth feeling." ”

"Nonsense, this line of work is ancestral in our family. This rattan pepper flavor is also very interesting. Zou Zhanye picked up a piece of fish and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, as if he was admiring a work of art, "38 A plate, it's really cheap." Chen Cong: If we make this plate of fish in our store, how much do you think it will cost to sell for a plate?"

"If you don't sell it by the plate, you sell it by the catty, and a fish is two to three catties, so you have to sell it for dozens of dollars a catty. The fish is not the same, the price is not the same. There are four positions at a table, ordering fish, adding some side dishes, fruit juice drinks, etc., how can you spend more than 200 yuan. Chen Cong said.

"Sell by the catty?" Zou Zhanye thought with a puzzled expression.

"We can only make grilled fish in the store, but we can add side dishes to the grilled fish, so there is a change, the side dishes can be sold very expensive, a small plate of vegetables can be sold for 6 yuan, 8 yuan and 10 yuan, and the cost is only a few cents. Fish, different fish have different markets, for example, grass carp itself is very cheap, we can sell it cheaper for 38, 48 a catty. The black fish itself is expensive, you can sell it a little more expensive, 68 pounds is no problem, and then find some varieties that are not available in Nanjing, you can sell it more expensive, in this way, a fish with some side dishes, more than 200 yuan for a table, proper. 200 yuan is the foundation, and it is best to strive for an average of 250. Chen Cong is naturally clear about the pricing of grilled fish, and there are too many cases in his memory that can be referenced. Although the era is different, the price of 07 is not so high, but the place is not the same, what is the location of Xinjiekou, this price is not a problem at all.

"Two hundred and five tables, four people's tables, how many tables can we put up?" Zou Zhanye began to calculate in his mind.

"Depends on how much space you have left in the kitchen. A four-person table, three square meters is enough, remove the kitchen, the foyer is more than forty sheets, and it can be placed. Chen Cong said, "We don't have to sell wine, although the profit of wine is high, but we don't sell wine, a table of grilled fish, at most an hour to eat." If it's fast, it's half an hour to 40 minutes, and the average table is about the same as waiting for food an hour. A table can be turned over three or four times for a meal. You can receive seven or eight waves of guests in a day, and forty you can calculate how many tables you can make in a day. 250 yuan a table, which is more than 60,000 yuan a day, even if it is only 5 percent, there is an income of 30,000 yuan, and the rent cost of 10,000 yuan a day plus the operating cost of two or three thousand should be no pressure. ”

"In that place in Xinjiekou, as long as the taste is good, adding it is this taste, on average, at least 7 percent, if I only make 50 percent, I will jump off the building. Zou Zhanye said with a smile.

"Is that a head?" Jiang Huiqin glanced at Chen Cong and the others, picked up a piece of rattan pepper-flavored grilled fish, and tasted it, "Well, it's still delicious." It's not so spicy, and it's so appetizing. ”

"It's definitely a trick. Chen Cong and Zou Zhanye said in unison.

Zou Zhanye added: "If we join the grilled fish to achieve this level, and then improve the taste, I guarantee that our investment of 7 million will return on its investment in one year." ”

The rent of 10,000 yuan a day is more than 3 million yuan a year, and 7 million investment? Wu Xiaoli silently picked up the chopsticks and ate fish with her head down, hiding the shock in her heart. Along the way, I heard Chen Cong say that Xinjiekou rented a storefront, but there was no too intuitive feeling. At this time, I silently calculated, and the rent was more than three million, and I was suddenly a little confused, and the world of local tyrants was not understandable to me at all. secretly glanced at Chen Cong, and was a little relieved, the local tyrant drove more than one million cars, and it was normal for several people to invest seven million in a joint venture to open a restaurant. Thinking that I am still worried about the cost of living because of unemployment these days, I can't help but feel a little unfair.

A few people chewed and ate this meal of grilled fish slowly, this was the first normal meal after coming to ZQ, and Chen Cong and the others ate it deliciously.

The boss didn't expect Chen Cong's table of guests to come to the fifth store, and it was a night to eat, until more than 8 o'clock, there were almost no other customers in the store, still drinking beer and chatting. But the boss doesn't care about anything, after all, open the door to do business, the customer is God. Besides, Chen Cong's consumption at this table is not low, three grilled fish, plus a few side dishes and beer added later, are worthy of making three tables usually.
