Chapter 295: Mutton Soup Beard Cake
"What now?" Xiong Kuohai asked.
"Wait and see, pay close attention, and do a good job in your own business."
Li De doesn't want to do too much, the market is very big, things that offend people can't be done, there is one today and tomorrow there will be a second and a third, if the road is blocked, I am afraid that the Li family's restaurant will also come to an end.
It is impossible to put an end to following the trend, and they will not be the only hot pot restaurant in the future, what he doesn't want to see is that someone does the same business in order to do the same business with him.
Such an opponent is not worthy of being an opponent at all, except for having a bag in his head.
Thinking about it carefully, in fact, I can't complain about the Wang family's approach, I'm afraid that I was affected by Tang Guogong, who can I find to reason with this matter, and tell the people of the Wang family that I am not in the same group as the third uncle, to put it bluntly, it is because of the conflict of local interests.
Replace himself, don't believe it.
The hot pot in the West Market shop, the hot pot in the store is the same as the hot pot in a restaurant, and even the layout in the restaurant is the same, which can be said to be a perfect replica.
"Shopkeeper, why is there only mutton shabu in your hot pot, and there are no other ingredients?" Some guests complained.
Not a single person reacted anymore.
Wang Jiali explained with a smile, it was nothing more than looking for excuses such as insufficient supply and using the price to say things, cheaper than the hot pot in a restaurant, what else do you want.
Having to explain it many times a day has become a must-have job for Wang Kerry.
If you don't explain it dozens of times, you will feel uncomfortable.
In the private room upstairs of the restaurant, Wang Shixu flipped through the account books, and there were two bookkeepers around him who kept calculating.
"The business is so good every day, why can't the income go up, can you explain?" Wang Shixu asked.
He didn't know how to open a store, but he could see the problem in the books, and the problem wasn't in the books, and he needed a reasonable explanation for that.
The hot pot restaurant in Xishi used a lot of his connections and money to prepare, and he gave a lot of hope, if he couldn't even make money by copying the way he operated, he couldn't afford to lose this person.
Wang Kerry was already prepared, as the shopkeeper of the restaurant, it was not that he did not work hard, but the time was not ripe for the store that had just been prepared, so he was asked to open.
Now that something is wrong, I have to explain it.
"Head of the house, this is the situation......"
The hot pot itself has a cost, and every time it is used, charcoal will be consumed, and it all depends on the customer's choice of ingredients, thinking that their preferential price is calculated, ordering one does not lose money, ordering two ingredients to make a little money, and the more ingredients consumed, the more profitable it is.
The problem lies in the ingredients, their ingredients so far only have mutton, and there is no unique soup base and ingredients, it is cheap, but no one will order more after trying it, and in the end even the mutton soup is drunk.
Said by customers to be the most economical hot pot, a pot of hot mutton soup with Hu cakes.
The key is because of the influence of the taste of the hot pot, and after trying it, you can know how much difference there is between the two.
Wang Shixu's expression was very complicated after hearing this, and he was very depressed in his heart, this matter really can't be said about the housekeeper.
"Prepare more ingredients, there is a restaurant that can give money to buy it, why can't we." Wang Shixu asked.
It's okay, it's not because there are no special ingredients, the wild vegetables are hard to eat.
Wang Jiali really couldn't bear to hit the head of the family, but he couldn't say no.
"Is there a solution?" Wang Shixu asked.
"One is to spend a lot of money on the development of spices, the other is to spend a lot of money on processing new ingredients, and the other is to run a new business."
"It's going to cost money again, do you know that 20,000 yuan has been invested for this restaurant, and you told me to either spend more money or change your business, I'm really angry with the old man."
Wang Shixu's mood fluctuated greatly, his small heart beat actively, and he became nervous when he saw Wang Kerry.
"The head of the family is now an official of the imperial court, don't be angry." Wang Jiali persuaded.
It's okay not to persuade him, this persuasion reminded Wang Shixu of the depression of officialdom, as a confession, the task is to advise the Son of Heaven, which is the most relieving position in the imperial court.
But I just met an emperor who could have no friends with the Manchu officials, and turned Nayan into a false position, and if you don't speak, if you really say all kinds of no, wait for bad luck.
Wang Shixu's career is not smooth, and the more he thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes.
Wang Jiali was really panicked, seeing that the situation of the head of the family was not right, he immediately called someone to call Lang Zhong, if the head of the house has three long and two short, he is the housekeeper who has done it, and maybe he is worried about his life.
Wang Shixu's condition was not good, so he had to be sent back to the house to recuperate, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Wang Jiali to take good care of the store's business.
"Don't worry, I will live up to my trust."
Wang Jiali expressed his determination again, what to do specifically, Wang Shixu didn't say, what to do with the money that needs to be spent, the problem left to him is not small.
In this case, he decided to hire more chefs, not wanting to believe that he couldn't mix ingredients.
Innovation is the right way.
Li De would agree if he knew that Wang Kerry adopted this method, blindly imitating is not favored, but he is also not optimistic about their hot pot restaurant, the reason is because there are too few ingredients, and he knows that innovation cannot be taken into account.
Wang Jiali wanted to develop everything, but where did the money come from.
The news that Wang Shixu was unwell and was carried back to his house was quickly brought back to Youjia Restaurant by the people who were staring at the door, and he knew himself and his opponent, and even the situation in the hot pot restaurant was clearly understood, and a detailed analysis was made in a period of time.
"The most money-saving hot pot, mutton soup with Hu cake is a little interesting."
Li De stayed in the private room of a restaurant and listened to the news that the guy brought him back, and immediately smiled, isn't this a ready-made market research.
can make the hot pot business into a mutton soup and beard cake, and it is also a talent.
Hu cake and mutton soup is really a mainstream food at present, since the business is so good, why not do it.
"Drink mutton soup and send Hu cakes!"
Li De arranged for people to go to crowded places in the morning to set up pots, take baked cakes, make mobile vendors, and start the sales mode.
There are many cooks and more guys in a restaurant, and after they are dispersed, they need to recruit another person.
For a few days, the sheep soup and nearly 100 Hu cakes in two large carriages every morning sold very well, especially the merchants in the West Market liked this bite the most.
Drink mutton soup and send Hu cakes, the price is a little more expensive, but you can also put some green vegetables in the Hu cakes, and there is enough mutton soup to drink, and you can no longer find a more cost-effective food.
Wang Jiali didn't know, he had already realized this matter, but Wang Shixu didn't care, and now he was discovered by someone with a heart, which affected the business of the hot pot restaurant.
So without the consent of the head of the family, I had to change the hot pot restaurant into a soup pot restaurant, mainly dealing in mutton soup and beard cakes, so that it really turned losses into profits, reduced costs, and barely operated.
