Chapter 36: The First Pot of Gold
Accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, many people quickly gathered in front of the restaurant, and everyone wanted to know that this long-closed restaurant is now open with gongs and drums? What's going on here? After Kong Haoyu and Nangong Xue cut the ribbon, Nangong Xue first announced to the onlookers: "Nancheng neighborhood leaders, in such a good day today, our Jin Fu Xuan will be opened from today, the young student standing next to me is the head chef of our family, I dare not say that the food he makes is the first but it is not worse than the first, and we dare to say that the dishes of our Jin Fu Xuan can not find a second one in the country, in order to celebrate the opening of the auspicious, We will give you a discount on all the diners who eat at our Jinfuxuan today, and we will accumulate repeat customers for nothing else. Eat whatever you want! The second day is three folds, the third day is half price, and the fourth day is back to the original price. Please don't miss it when you pass by.?
Just after Nangong Xue unveiled the plaque of the restaurant, Kong Haoyu looked very surprised, he had been preparing materials every day for the past few days but forgot to think about the name of the restaurant, and now he was given by the careful Nangong Xue, and he also made such a delicate plaque, and his heart was full of admiration. "Jin Fu Xuan, Splendid Blessing, it's so good, and it's easy to remember. It's a name that's so much to my liking. Kong Haoyu thought to himself.
When Nangong Xue finished announcing, Kong Haoyu straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to everyone, and said gratefully: "In the future, I will ask the neighborhood leaders to give me more advice, and the younger generation will definitely do their best to satisfy your taste." After saying this, the onlookers looked at each other and thought about it disturbedly: "This chef looks quite young, not to mention whether his cooking skills are good or not, let's just say that the price of this opening is okay, I have seen so many restaurants and I have never seen that the price of the restaurant was so low on the first day to attract diners, this is really no one." The price of a discount is not a loss even if it is not in line with the taste. Nangong Xue's ears are also extremely good at this moment, and under the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, she can also clearly and completely hear the disturbing discussions of the crowd, after she heard this, she hurriedly raised her voice and proclaimed: "We Jinfuxuan have the strength to dare to do such an affordable, you neighbors may wish to move to our Jinfuxuan to taste and taste, if it is not delicious, we will compensate you according to five times the original price of the dish, what are you waiting for to come to Jinfuxuan to taste!" After speaking, Nangong Xue gently touched Kong Haoyu with her elbow, and whispered in his ear: "You go to the back kitchen now to prepare our signature dishes for breakfast, I guess I will have a lot of people coming in to order the signature dishes to taste when I am publicizing." I'll leave it to me. I'm going to make our restaurant pop. I'm sorry for you today. ā
When Kong Haoyu heard this, he confidently promised: "Who are the two of us, and you said it so politely, it's not hard, since you said so, then I'll go to the back kitchen to work, don't worry, I won't let you down." After speaking, Kong Haoyu went to the back kitchen and began to prepare the signature dishes. Here Nangong Xue continued to promote, and the onlookers saw Nangong Xue working so hard to promote, swearing so promises, all of them were a little impatient, and they all became more and more curious, and the last one poured into the restaurant with curiosity to sit, and soon the restaurant was full of people, and the people standing outside invariably lined up in a long line, waiting for the people inside to come out, and they were going in in order. Nangong Xue hurriedly came in when she saw this scene, and then introduced to all the diners present: "First of all, thank you for your support, we have a recipe on each table for you to order." As soon as Nangong Xue's voice fell, everyone present browsed the recipes one after another.
Sure enough, everyone didn't know the dishes on this recipe, and they saw that they were in the clouds, and they didn't know what to do, and they all looked very dazed. This scene was also expected by Nangong Xue, so Nangong Xue began to guide: "Since everyone doesn't know what to eat, then the little girl is here to recommend our signature dishes of Jinfuxuan to everyone!" Now that it's morning, don't eat too greasy, let's have something light and filling, then give each person a vegetable bone broth to fill their stomachs first. How is it? Everyone listened to Nangong Xue's introduction, and on the other hand, they looked at the name of this dish that was so unfamiliar that it could not be unfamiliar, and subconsciously looked at the dishes recommended by Nangong Xue one by one, and after hesitating again and again, they all obeyed Nangong Xue's Jian yƬ and ordered vegetable bone soup noodles, Nangong Xue greeted happily: "Thirty-two bowls of vegetable bone soup noodles!" ā
Hearing Nangong Xue's greeting, Kong Haoyu began to admire Nangong Xue again for a while. It really made Nangong Xue right, while admiring, while cutting the rolled noodles into noodles with the same thickness and the same length, and put the noodles in the pot, during the time when the noodles were cooked, Kong Haoyu will wash the selected green vegetables and blanch them in a pot of boiling water for later use, and then put the washed bowls neatly on the countertop for later use, when the noodles are cooked to eight minutes, Kong Haoyu will take them out and put them into the prepared bone broth to continue cooking, until after cooking, Kong Haoyu will put the noodles into thirty-two bowls, After putting a spoonful of bone broth into each bowl and adding freshly blanched greens and chopped green onions and coriander, he let the shopkeeper leave.
When this bowl of fragrant noodles was served in front of everyone, everyone was deeply attracted by the fragrance of this noodles, everyone looked at the noodles in front of them in a daze, and they all felt a little surprised, when they ate the first bite of noodles, they were all shocked, and they even couldn't believe their taste buds, "It's so delicious." It's simply unique. Everyone praised in unison. At this moment, not only the people sitting in the restaurant are deeply attracted by this unique noodle, but also the people standing in line outside are also attracted by the aroma of this noodle, even if they have not eaten it yet, but the fragrance is enough to eat. Everyone is looking forward to going in and tasting it. Nangong Xue was very happy to hear such a high evaluation from the diners, and looking at so many people waiting outside, Nangong Xue was also excited, such a result was completely unexpected by Nangong Xue. "Kong Haoyu, you really deserve to be from a chef's family. I'm really not wrong about this treasure. Nangong Xue thought to herself.
At this time, He Xingpeng, who was standing on the side, and several people he hired were also shocked by this situation. He Xingpeng recalled that when he opened a restaurant in the past, he had never seen so many customers come in to eat in waves, waiting in line outside in waves, and he never had the impression that there was a restaurant or a small restaurant that could do such a scene today. I can't help but have a strong interest in this simple vegetable and bone soup noodles, and I want to taste it, but if it weren't for the fact that so many guests eat it first, they will definitely come to a bowl and eat it. It's too late to have such a popular scene and face now. So several people came to help Kong Haoyu.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
In this way, he was busy until the sun set, every household on the street also turned on the lights, and the people who came to eat went home, and the diners were gone, and a few people who had been busy for a day were able to take a good rest, although Kong Haoyu was tired to the point of exhaustion, but he was still extremely excited, he didn't expect that this was the first day to be so popular, then it can be imagined that there will be busy, as soon as he thought of this, Kong Haoyu was full of energy, In the future, he was determined to study the recipes provided by Xiaoxue, because if it wasn't for the recipes provided by Xiaoxue, he might not have been able to get to where he is today.
He Xingpeng, who was sitting on the side, was able to taste the vegetable bone soup noodles that he bought for a day at this time, and the expressions of several people were frozen after eating the first bite, and several people showed happy expressions on their faces, all of them were fluttering, as if they were living happily in the country of food. After eating the noodles, He Xingpeng couldn't help asking: "Young master, this is the first time that the old slave has eaten this noodles in his life, if you want to describe it, I really can't think of any words to describe it, in simple terms, the two words are delicious, this noodle soup is no different from ordinary noodles in terms of appearance, but this taste is extremely unique." The old slave is really curious, what kind of secret recipe are you using? ā
When Kong Haoyu heard this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret, I won't tell you now." After speaking, he laughed with Nangong Xue with a "poof". He Xingpeng immediately understood, and thought: "I also rely on this exclusive secret recipe for cooking, if this secret recipe leaks out, then this restaurant will not need to be opened again." ā
"By the way, I have good news for everyone." Nangong Xue said, "Do you know? Today, we have been busy all day long, and our dishes have been launched out of ten, all of which are our main dishes, all of which have been unanimously praised, of course, the most important thing is that you have to ask, how much did you earn in a busy day today, then you have to drag your jaws well. I'm afraid I'll surprise you so much that your jaws drop. ā
"As long as you don't lose anything." Kong Haoyu said. He Xingpeng, who was on the side, also said: "What the young master said is that as long as we don't pay compensation, then even if we haven't worked hard for a day in vain." ā
"It's not going to be a loss," Nangong Xue smiled and said with relief, "Since you are all mentally prepared, then I will announce the answer, although it is said that it is a discount to sell the main dishes today, but we are still making money, I counted it, today we earned four hundred taels a day!" ā
"What? How much did you just say? Kong Haoyu was very surprised and confirmed, "Four hundred taels? Is it a day today? Is this a net profit or is it not cost-free? ā
"It's a net profit, and I remove the cost of materials and labor." Nangong Xue replied affirmatively, "How about the surprise?" This is our first pot of gold! How happy are you? ā
After hearing Nangong Xue's answer, Kong Haoyu hugged each other happily with He Xingpeng and several clerks, Kong Haoyu couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, and said in a choked voice: "Finally, I finally have such a day, I can finally show off my achievements to my family, it's really good." Of course, this is all thanks to Xiaoxue, if it weren't for Xiaoxue, I wouldn't be able to do as well as I am today. Nangong Xue said: "Kong Fatty, look at what you said, I just set you up a bridge, this cooking is the result of your own efforts, how can it be said that it is my credit, it is all thanks to your cooking skills, your cooking skills are exquisite, and you can make a little difference, so the biggest credit today is your hard work." We've all followed you to get naked, I'm just counting the money, and I'm almost soft when I collect money today. If four hundred taels are credited to the account every day, it is really perfect, and it has a future than those merchants. ā
"That's not it," Kong Haoyu replied, "At this rate of earning money, you will have enough money to renovate Xicheng in a month, which is completely self-sufficient." You don't have to let the emperor allocate funds to you. But then again, if you want to go on like this, you really need to add more manpower in a few days, otherwise you will be tired to death. ā
After speaking, Nangong Xue smiled "haha" and replied: "As long as you open your mouth, we will immediately add more manpower to you." In the future, you will be our God of Wealth and the Lord of the Stove, we have to serve you well, otherwise our group of people can only sit at the door and drink the northwest wind. You can't just leave us alone. In the future, we will follow you to eat and drink spicy food. After speaking, Kong Haoyu also laughed "haha", and after a while, everyone laughed happily. In any case, this way of making money is such a hard work, and the rewards of hard work will increase exponentially. Nangong Xue was also very happy when she looked at this result. It seems that it is no problem to use the recipes of her previous life to stand on this foothold, as long as the word of mouth accumulates, more people will come to eat, and even if it is not discounted, there will be people willing to pay. If this continues, it is not only a reconstruction of the western district, but also the reconstruction of the entire capital, so it is no problem to rely on this money, as soon as she thinks of this, Nangong Xue is full of longing for the future. "Anyway, this is also the first step of a long march. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and I still have work to do. Nangong Xue thought to herself.
