Chapter 160: Tired and happy
Cha Yong arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon, and when he arrived, he first found the winery, and then Wu Mei. Wu Mei sent him home first, and cooked for him, because he still had to go to work, so she let him eat and rest first, and brought him over after work.
They came by bicycle, and Gu Minli was still behind, walking over with Linlin's grandmother and second uncle.
Linlin's second uncle, Gu Jinrui, harvested his wheat and dried it in the warehouse with his father at home, so he hurriedly came down to work in the hot pot city. Wu Mei called him over to attend the opening celebration dinner.
The family members who were going to attend the banquet in the evening were originally Wu Mei, Gu Minli and Linlin's grandmother, as well as Yaya's mother and younger brother, plus Uncle Zhang's family. Uncle Zhang's family, except for Zhang Xin, who no longer participated, the rest of Zhang Lin and Zhang Min and his wife all participated, exactly ten people. Now there are two more of them, so I can only add stools.
But things were far from Che Jin and Gao Mingchun's expectations, which caught them off guard.
The people who were originally scheduled to be invited in the evening, one table for his family, and one table for Gao Mingchun's family, were all arranged on the first floor, and the second floor was reserved for the visitors outside. But before they could arrange for their families to sit down, there was an endless stream of guests coming over, and the four private rooms on the second floor were not enough, and the first floor still had to occupy two tables.
For the guests outside, Sun Youming brought two tables, which were the bureau leaders of the Commercial Bureau and the managers of the units below. Zhang Kai and Yaya's father, the director of the stone factory, also brought another table, and among the leaders who had eaten here at noon, a few people came together to come over.
These guests not only give real money, but also the future customers of the hot pot restaurant, so they have to take care of others first. Gao Mingchun and Che Jin happily met together. How to solve this little trouble. zuihou OK. Let the old people and distinguished guests sit at the same table first. Regardless of yours or mine, let the young and close family members wait, and wait for the table to be freed up before sitting.
It's easy to do in the summer, so I invite the rest of the people to the courtyard to drink tea and wait, anyway, my family doesn't care. On the table were Gao Mingchun's parents and parents-in-law, Uncle Zhang and his wife who came in the car, Linlin's grandmother and aunt, and a distant guest who came to Che Yong. and Zhang Xin's brother-in-law, exactly ten people.
Wu Mei and Gu Minli couldn't go up for the time being, and they didn't go to the yard to sit and wait, but also went to the hut to mingle with the beauties. Wu Mei is Che Jin's "wife", Gu Minli is Che Jin's "Yahuan", and the rest are Che Jin's "concubines", Wu Mei and Gu Minli took this opportunity to contact them again.
At seven o'clock, Wang Xiaoyan and Ni'er had to leave first, and at eight o'clock, the family members at that table had left the table full of food and drink, and a table was vacated. But Wu Mei and Gu Minli were already full of eating sheep bones. I didn't want to go any further, and I had to go back with them. It is also to arrange a place for Che Yong to live.
When the distillery sells its products, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival, because of the large increase in sales, it will work in three shifts, and each employee is arranged to have a dormitory. Wu Mei and Gu Minli occupy a room, and now they live in the family building, even if they work overtime at night, they don't have to go to the dormitory to live, the dormitory is empty on weekdays, and they have to arrange for Che Yong to live there.
Wu Mei and Gu Minli didn't eat shabu mutton today, and they haven't eaten it these days, listening to Yaya go back and talk about how delicious mutton is, they have long been anxious to eat it, but they haven't found a suitable opportunity.
I finally ushered in the opening and wanted to enjoy a good meal, but I didn't eat it, but I was even happier than eating. I am happy because this hot pot restaurant is hot, I haven't eaten it, the hot pot restaurant is opened by my own "husband" in partnership with others, it can also be equivalent to their partnership with others, the first day of opening is so popular, even if it is not the turn of the future, I will be very happy.
It's a big deal to come early on Sunday morning, open a table early, and call the sisters to have a hearty meal. I didn't like to eat a meal, so I came over to eat it every week, and after laughing with Che Jin, who was very sorry, Che Jin agreed with a bite. Two days later, it was Sunday, and everyone came at 9 a.m. to have a table and eat and drink to their heart's content.
Xia Wenhui has the same mood as them, Xia Wenhui has not been idle since she came early in the morning, she came in the morning to help with steamed cakes and cakes, and at noon and at noon, she helped the third sister to adjust the dipping sauce, and after the guests left, she followed the chef and waiter to eat a big stew.
I was not idle in the afternoon, at first I was taking care of Gao Mingchun, who was drunk, and then I rested for a while, and when I rested, I was busy again, until all the guests left, and then I rubbed my tired waist and sat down and waited for dinner.
However, she didn't sit at the table first, but sat in the bar and watched her second sister count her income for a day. This income really makes her like it badly, and she can't even feel tired and hungry when she likes it.
When Che Jin encouraged Gao Mingchun to partner in a hot pot restaurant, Che Jin said that the hot pot restaurant would at least double Gao Mingchun's current income, and he could earn an average of more than 1,000 yuan a month. Let them become 10,000 yuan households in a year. At that time, Xia Wenhui couldn't believe it, but her husband Gao Mingchun was very enthusiastic about it, and she could only support her husband as a good wife and mother.
During this busy time, Gao Mingchun, the snack bar at home, was almost thrown to her alone, she was cooking meat and running a small shop, and the family's money was taken out by Gao Mingchun to prepare for this place, she was tired and worried. I'm not afraid of being tired, and I'm still very energetic when I sleep, but I'm worried that I won't be able to get back the money I spilled.
Finally waited for the opening, and I was very nervous in the past few days, but I didn't dare to show it, and still did my best to support my husband. At noon, when she heard that the guests had given a lot of gifts, she happily threw away the sorrows of these days and smiled.
However, no matter how much gift money is collected at noon, it does not mean that the hot pot restaurant will be able to make money in the future, but the praise of the guests has made her feel a lot more at ease. In the evening, the crowd of guests made her very happy, this is not invited, it is specially here that people like to eat.
The second sister calculated the account for her, and the six tables of foreign guests consumed a total of nearly 1,000 yuan, which made her really happy and a little surprised.
She heard Gao Mingchun say, "Half of the hotel 46 hotel", that is, the profit of the hotel can generally reach half, and the hotel is higher, and the profit can reach 60%. She also has experience in running her own snack bar, and the profit is almost the same if it is not in half, but the profit of this hot pot restaurant can definitely reach half.
Before opening, they calculated when they set the price of the recipe. A live sheep slaughters the meat that has been removed. The price of the whole sheep is converted into about five pieces per catty. The hot pot restaurant is served on a plate. The price is also calculated according to the market, with five yuan for the large market and three yuan for the small market. The large plate is three taels per catty, and the cost is two dollars, and the small plate is seven taels, and the cost is more than one piece.
This profit is more than half, and the lamb tripe, sheep blood and sheep intestines in the offal are essential side dishes, many people like to eat, and a small plate of cooked lamb belly is five yuan. A small plate of blood tofu made of sheep blood and boiled sheep intestines is three yuan, because the quantity is limited, it is not worrying about selling. The heads, hooves, sheep bones and leftover offal can still be sold for money, and the profit is really considerable.
Those vegetable side dishes are a little cheaper, the highest is only one yuan, and many are five dimes, but the cost is lower, and the profit is more than half. It's just that the profit of tobacco and alcohol money is lower, and it can almost reach half of the profit.
If the profit is halved, there will be a profit of 500 yuan for 1,000 yuan of income, and at least 300 yuan of net profit after deducting labor and other expenses. There is still one hundred and fifty yuan in half with Che Jin, but this is only one night.
And she didn't dare to hope that every day would be like this. That is, in the future, I will be satisfied with a daily turnover of 1,000 yuan. Even if the profit is less, she can get 100 yuan a day, or 3,000 yuan a month, which makes her happy, not to mention that the snack bar at home still has income.
It's really hot here, and she is reluctant to leave that snack bar, and she is not willing to earn five or six thousand yuan a year. She discussed with Gao Mingchun, and Gao Mingchun will be busy here in the future, she pulled her second sister Mingxia to help her, that is, she gave Mingxia a salary of 100 yuan per month, and she still had an income of 3 or 400 yuan, which was much better than a person who went to work.
In the next two days, Xia Wenhui still threw away the snack bar at home. The next day, she came over to worry, worried that there would be no guests suddenly, and when it exploded at noon and night, she was not worried, but came to guard the bar with her second sister, because Hongyu was too busy to mix dipping sauces, and the Gu Jinrui introduced by Che Jin was just a starter for the time being.
For three days in a row, including one of them, Sunday, it was full of guests, and there were customers who didn't book a table every day. Because this is a very rare delicacy, those who have eaten it still want to eat it, those who have not eaten it are anxious to eat it after hearing it, and those who have not eaten it will rather wait for a table to eat.
The business turnover in three days exceeded 2,000 yuan, and Gao Mingchun was really happy. The car is also happy, but he can basically predict this situation, this is the only sale in the river, and it is a food that is beyond the times, and it is unreasonable if it is not popular.
When Gao Mingchun saw the hot pot restaurant, he looked forward to opening a large hot pot restaurant in the city as soon as possible. According to the car, he told him that if there are 30 tables in a hall and private room in the city, the daily turnover can be almost tens of thousands of yuan, think about how much money should you earn? I don't even dare to imagine.
Che Jin thought more than Gao Mingchun, and he still had a few things to do quickly, because school was about to start, and the bookstore was about to open.
His cousin Che Yong came just in time, otherwise he would have to call the fourth aunt to urge.
From the second day of the opening of the hot pot restaurant, he asked Gao Mingchun to come forward and take his cousin to negotiate with Zhang Kai to buy all the land of the big set of courtyards in Chengguan Town, of course, he would not tell Gao Mingchun that he bought it, that is, his lobby brother wanted to buy it.
Gao Mingchun took Che Yong to meet with Zhang Kai that day, and Zhang Kai asked them to wait a few more days. This is not important, Che Jin and Gao Mingchun and Che Yong still have something to do, which is to select the fields to build vegetable greenhouses.
To build a vegetable greenhouse, the first choice is to have flat and fertile land and must have a water source for irrigation, and there are many such fields on both sides of the bank of the river. On the north bank of the Wei River, near the city, Gao Mingchun's own family has it, and the green jade family and Zhang Xin's family also have it. Although there is not much good land in Shangshui, the three of them together are still rich and more than a dozen vegetable greenhouses.
In the early days of Che Jinjihua, six greenhouses were built, one for Luyu's family, one for Zhang Xin's family, and one for Gu Minli's parents. The remaining three are one each for Nan Fengwu's parents and Liu Qiqi's mother, and one is Che Yong's.
When Che Yong came over, he was also curious that there was no vegetable greenhouse in Weishenme, and when he heard Che Jin let him stay to build a vegetable greenhouse, he learned that the farmers here would not be able to serve. Che Yong very much agrees with Che Jin's idea, thinking that building a vegetable greenhouse here is more profitable than that of his hometown, and it is a lot of money.
In the winter of Yuhe County, most of the vegetables eaten at home are Chinese cabbage saved in autumn and pickled pickles. In the wheat fields on both sides of the river, wheat is harvested this season, and then everyone grows vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, cabbage, and turnips, and after the late autumn harvest, they save some for their own families to eat, and sell the rest.
It's just that it can't be sold for a few dollars, because there are many plantings, and they can't be sold for export, so they are sold to the county and mountainous areas, and they are sold in bags, and a bag is sold for less than a penny. In winter, all kinds of fresh vegetables are not planted, and they have to be trafficked from outside, but the price is very high, and a pound of fresh and rare vegetables costs a few cents, and not many people can afford to eat them. (To be continued......)
