The shops opened in Cheongdam-dong, whether they are fashion stores or restaurants, are definitely not places for civilian consumption, and luxury is the main theme on this street.

Lee Jun-hyuk's café and restaurant on the side of Cheongdam-dong is only 5 meters wide, and he himself considers his shop to be a medium-class shop, but in any case, it is in the most prime area of Cheongdam-dong Premium Street. Therefore, the consumption of the small shop opened by Lee Jun-hyuk is definitely not low. Even if he opened the takeout window, it would only be a little cheaper, and it would still be very expensive compared to the takeout from restaurants that opened elsewhere.

Therefore, no matter how hot Lee Jun-hyuk's afternoon tea is, no matter how delicious his pastries are rumored to be, the eight tables in his small shop are rarely full.

Of course, this is also because Kim Soon-ae opened a window and takeout, otherwise. It's tea time at the shop, and it's really going to be in line.

Three-tier afternoon tea for two, about 20 cookies, four breads, four scones, and two-flavor jam. That's all there is 50,000 won. Plus two cups of strong milk tea or coffee, the cost of two people is almost 100,000 won.

This is not a small amount, you must know that it doesn't cost 50,000 won for two people to eat all-you-can-eat pork belly in the alley behind Lee Jun-hyuk's shop.

In addition to afternoon tea, the two meal times at noon and evening have become the main source of income for the small shop, although its net profit is not as high as afternoon tea, but compared to those pure French restaurants, Li Junhyuk's dishes here are still very cost-effective. After Yang Lei's slightly Korean-specific taste, the restaurant's delicious food has surpassed afternoon tea to become a new selling point, and it is basically full at noon and night every day.

Throughout November, Lee Jun-hyuk's shop's turnover has been rising in a straight line, and in the last week of November, the shop's turnover finally exceeded 20 million won per day. Of course, although the turnover has increased, the actual net profit share as the cost of the small store increases is not as huge as it was at the beginning, but in any case, the net income of 3 million a day is still there. These profits, excluding employee expenses and Yang Lei's mother and son's share, Lee Junhyuk can get about 1.8 million won.

This means that if the small store can maintain this momentum, Lee Junhyuk's annual revenue will reach 650 million won.

The shop's profits were steadily rising, but Lee Jun-hyuk's interest in it was declining, and after signing Kim Soon-ae's settlement in the last week of November, he officially announced that the settlement inspection would be changed to once a month in the future.

In other words, Lee Jun Hyuk has now completely become the shopkeeper of the shop, the boss behind the scenes, in the words of Zheng Xiuyan, Lee Jun Hyuk has become an idle person in the shop.

After finishing the work in the Rubik's Cube studio, Lee Jun Hyuk stayed in the store for a week with nothing to do, except for the fixed piano practice and study every day, Lee Jun Hyuk really didn't care about anything at all. Fortunately, Yang Lei and Kim Soon-ae are used to the days when there is no Lee Jun-hyuk in the shop, and they are the same with him or not.

Zheng Xiuyan and several little girls have not come for this time, because the company's annual big exam has begun. is different from the small exam every quarter, the big exam will affect the future debut assessment, so even Zheng Xiuyan, who usually has very good grades, will become very nervous.

"Aunt Jin, I went out to buy Christmas items, do you have anything you want, I will buy it for you." In the blink of an eye, Christmas is coming, and three days before Christmas, Lee Jun-hyuk is going to buy some Christmas decorations.

"Go ahead, I'm not interested in any of this, you can ask Arei if he has any ideas, I remember that he started looking forward to Christmas a few days ago, he must be very interested in this." Kim Soon-ae said as she cleaned up the plate she had just eaten for breakfast.

"Okay, I'll go find him, I'll trouble you here." No matter when, Lee Jun-hyuk is very polite to Kim Soon-ae.

Li Junhe got dressed and walked to the operation room, and saw Yang Lei leading two workers there to clean up the ingredients, and from time to time he also told the workers what to pay attention to, just like a chef's posture.

"Chef Yang, are you getting more and more stylish?" Lee Jun Hyuk laughed.

"Big brother, why are you so idle today, and come here?" Although the operation room is in the small shop, after returning from the studio, except for boiling water and making tea at the bar, Li Junhe has never stepped into the operation room for the rest of the time, and the entire back kitchen has become Yang Lei's territory. So Yang Lei said jokingly when he saw Li Junhe walking into the back kitchen.

"Well...... I thought Christmas was coming, and I wanted to teach you a few new dishes, but I didn't expect that Chef Yang's private territory would not welcome me, so I had better leave. After speaking, without waiting for Yang Lei's reaction, Li Junhe turned around and left very quickly. Every time they tease each other, Yang Lei has never tasted victory.

"Big brother, big brother, you are my own big brother." Regardless of the grease on his hand that he had just grabbed the meat, Yang Lei grabbed Li Junhe's hand.

"Uh, what's the matter with you?" Lee Jun Hyuk looked like he didn't know anything.

"Big brother, look, this new dish thing." Yang Lei sneered.

"Oh, this thing, didn't I tell you, after I teach you how to handle the ingredients, can you try to develop your own, and ask me what is the use." Lee Jun Hyuk said with a smile.

"Big brother, do you think it's so easy to develop new dishes to tell you, I've been trying every morning for the past two months, and I've only made two new dishes until now, and the others are either this or that. Super troublesome. Yang Lei didn't complain, he just said this, and by the way, he expressed his unhappiness.

"It's good to take it slowly, and when you have your own understanding of all the ingredients, it's not difficult to create your own dishes. Compared to Chinese food, French cuisine is still very simple, and I believe that sooner or later you will develop your own set of French dishes. Lee Jun Hyuk encouraged.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll do it. But then again, big brother, you don't have something to do, otherwise you wouldn't be in the back kitchen. Back to the topic, Yang Lei asked.

"Isn't it Christmas in a few days, and I want to go out and buy some festive supplies and order another batch of ingredients for a special menu on Christmas Day. That is, I said that I want to teach you a new dish. Lee Jun Hyuk returned.

"Big brother, I'm also prepared when it comes to this, you wait, I'll give you my plan." Hearing Lee Jun Hyuk mention preparing Christmas items, Yang Lei also became excited.

After a while, Yang Lei took out a small book from the locker room on the second floor. Walked up to Li Junhe and said excitedly: "Big brother, you see these, they are all Christmas customs in some European and American countries that I am looking for on the Internet, I think, since our small shop is European in terms of decoration and dishes, then we will also follow the European form for Christmas, so that it should attract more customers to dine in the Christmas days." ”

"Arei, have you forgotten something?" Hearing Yang Lei's words, Li Junhe couldn't help but laugh and reminded softly.

"No, big brother, I remember it in detail, you see, the British tradition, the French tradition, although they are all similar, but there are still some differences in the details, and it took me a lot of effort to find these." Yang Lei still didn't react to Li Junhyuk's reminder.

"I mean, have you forgotten where I used to come from?" Helpless, Lee Jun-hyuk had no choice but to say it clearly.

Hearing Li Junhe's words, Yang Lei was stunned, and when he reacted, he patted his forehead with his hand and said in annoyance: "Ah! I forgot big brother, you grew up in England. ”

Looking at Yang Lei in annoyance, Li Junhe smiled unscrupulously. "Okay, don't be upset, you have the same idea as me, which is to make Christmas in the small shop European. This not only fits the style of the store itself, but also attracts customers. I agree with you. But now, you have to tell me what Christmas is like in Korea. As with the dishes, we can cater to the Korean Christmas habits in some details, so that customers can bring a fresh feeling without making them feel distancing. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you more about ......"
