Chapter 137: Human Routines
Courtesy!
Sycophants!
This is the essence that Li Qi summed up from the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In fact, no one doesn't like to listen to good words, whether it is a loyal minister or a traitor, the key is whether the sycophants can be in place and whether they can leave no traces.
Li Qi's sycophant is very in place, and it makes sense, spirits with heroes, it's a good story!
Unicorn Fury certainly considers itself a hero, at least in Cow Hump.
The unicorn fury likes Li Qi more and more, and the reward is naturally not a problem, and it is a very precious set of bronze objects to reward Li Qi.
But then again, apart from sycophancy, Li Qi and Unicorn Fury have nothing to talk about, besides, Li Qi is also very busy today, so he didn't stay for dinner, so he rushed back to the trade fair!
The one-horned fury didn't force him either, and he just wanted to taste the fury alone for now.
At this moment, the trade hall is really full of beasts, and the outside is even more lively than the inside.
"Hey! What number are you? ”
"Alas... It's too late! Fifty-four. What about you? ”
"Huh! I'm twelve. ”
.....
"Who came up with this by name, I really want to beat him to death."
"Don't! At least we can still drink today, and if we want to beat him to death, we can only smell the fragrance outside. ”
"That's right! How many numbers do you have? ”
"One hundred and one!"
.....
I saw a pile of customers in front of the trade fair, all sitting on small benches eating snacks and scolding their mothers.
After all, the trade fair hall has a limited space, and it is really impossible to squeeze inside, it was originally four tables, but now it has become six, which is a serious overload.
And a hungry shop, that is, a restaurant, diagonally opposite the trade fair, was deserted, and the owners of the property were idle to the door to watch the spectacular scene.
His heart is really dripping blood!
The guest is at the door, but does not enter.
"Alas... What kind of iniquity have I had? The owner sighed, becoming more and more puzzled, and asked the chief right beside him: "Little girl, you said that this human race is only a third-class race, why can they make this wine, incredible, incredible!" ”
The long right man called the little obedient said: "I... I don't know. ”
"That's fine!" The owner choked up and said, "Why didn't he come to our store in the first place, but ran to the trade fair, where business is already very good." ”
The little boy looked at the owner and thought to himself, if you want to come to you, you must not cook him and eat it.
......
In this situation inside and outside the museum, of course Li Qi didn't dare to go to the front door, and secretly went up to the private room from the back door.
"Richie! You're here! ”
When Ji Jiao and Xiaobai saw Li Qi coming back, they immediately screamed excitedly, pulling Li Qi and talking endlessly.
The farmer ignored this at all, and hid in the corner with a large plate full of all kinds of fruits, snickering as he ate.
In fact, they don't have much shock about multi-race, their shock comes from this house, table, bed, jade cup, what kind of environment is human beings now, what kind of environment is here, they suddenly came here, you can imagine what they feel.
I saw that the chicken prostitute jumped again while talking, and landed on the big bed, and the chicken froze and said, "It will be very comfortable to mate here." ”
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Is there anything else you have in mind besides mating?" Now, I'm very busy today, I don't have time, you can stay in this house in peace, but don't go out. ”
The chicken prostitute shook her head and said, "Why? We also want to go out and check it out. ”
"We don't want to." Xiaobai and the other two apprentices spoke in unison.
The chicken prostitute looked at the three of them in surprise.
Li Qi said: "Don't forget, some of them are cannibals, if you go out, be careful of being eaten by them." ”
The chicken prostitute was a little frightened, "Okay... Okay, let's just not go out. ”
After instructing them, Li Qi secretly went to the kitchen, and today he is in charge of the kitchen, fortunately, the basic skills of the chefs here are very solid, and when Li Qi arrives, the materials are ready!
......
"Excuse me, what would you like to eat?"
"Whatever, whatever, if you have wine."
"That's right, our trade hall has prepared some new dishes to welcome the arrival of wine."
"Really? Let me see. ”
"Redcoat pupae?"
"Oh, this is made with goldworm chrysalis."
.....
"Invincible pastry? What is it? ”
"Fish belly beef balls?"
“......!”
......
When those customers saw the new menu in front of them, they couldn't help but be a little surprised to see how so many new dishes could be created at once.
"Redcoat pupae, I want cardinal pupae." When Xu Xu heard that the red-clothed insect chrysalis was made of gold worms, he immediately screamed excitedly.
"Excuse me, do you have a small portion or a large portion?"
"Why divide small portions into large portions?"
"That's right, we will introduce many new dishes at the trade hall, and in order for customers to taste more dishes, our chairman decided to divide each dish into two large and small portions by quantity, and if you order a small portion, you can order a few more dishes."
"This cardinal chrysalis still needs a large portion."
Lifelike insisted.
Ah Hao said: "Lifelike, you like to eat golden worm chrysalis, we don't like to eat it, you can't just think about yourself." ”
The beast sitting next to Bei Bei said, "Ah Hao is right, let's try it first, we can't just come once." ”
Xu Xu pointed to the hourglass on the side and said, "You forgot that today's meal has to be timed, and if you want to order again, it's too late." ”
Ah Hao said: "Yes! This is who came up with a bad idea. Okay, okay, all of them are large portions. ”
The beast said to himself, "But this is too wasteful! ”
They're traders, and they're very good at calculating.
Xu Xu grinned and said: "Xiao Wu, you don't know, I dare to say that this dish today must not be made by those cooks under the president." ”
The beast called Xiao Wu asked curiously: "Who did that?" ”
"Richie!"
Lifelike, Hao, and Bei Bei said in unison.
......
The kitchen entrance!
"You see, all these new dishes are coming up with him, and if I don't cooperate with him, once he cooperates with other owners, it will have a big impact on our trade club."
Black Sheep Jiuzhen said to the white sheep beside him.
Aries Xiuwen looked at Li Qi, who was busy inside, with shock in his eyes, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he looked at Black Sheep Jiuzhen and said, "President, this... That's a fifty percent share! ”
"It's just money." Heiyang Jiuzhen said: "But if I earn more, I still earn it." And his dishes, at the same price, have reduced the cost by more than half. ”
"How can this be lowered?"
"It's about cooking with fewer ingredients."
Aries Xiuwen said: "How can you do this, customers will be dissatisfied because of this, and it will affect the credibility of our trade club." ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen said with a smile: "That's why there are packages and sizes, whether it is a package, or a large or small portion, there are discounts, which are lower than the previous price, but based on the reduction of materials, as well as the price of the entire package, there is a lot of profit!" ”
Aries Xiuwen is a trader, so he will naturally understand this when he hears it.
At the beginning, Li Qi said that he must reduce the amount of dishes, but as a businessman, he can't say that he will cut it in half, which is unprofessional, Li Qi will come up with the means of large and small portions and set meals, and the large dishes are more expensive than the original, but in fact, the amount is the same, and the small portions are cheaper than the original, but the cost is much lower. In the case of a set meal, on average, it is cheaper than before, but the profit of a set meal is far more than that of a single dish.
These are all very common methods in later generations.
Heiyang Jiuzhen said: "This is only secondary, in Li Qi's words, we used to sell food, but now we sell craft." ”
They used to have a lot of portions of each dish, and eating is eating, not for deliciousness, but now the dishes have become richer, but the methods are complex, which undoubtedly increases the cost of labor, so of course the price has to rise, no matter which era, wisdom is the most valuable.
Aries Xiuwen nodded slightly and said, "He's just a human being?" But... But why is it that the wisdom he shows is not at all human-like, he is even more shrewd than the traders of our royal family. ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen frowned slightly, and said: "I'm also very curious about this, he can speak the royal language, which I believe is related to the Spirit Clan, but the Spirit Clan is not as shrewd as him, these skills are not something that the Spirit Clan can teach him, do they humans really contain such great potential?" ”
The implication is that this is a human race talent?
It can only be explained in this way.
At this moment, Changyou Xiaoyin walked over and whispered, "President, the wine is ready!" ”
Heiyang Jiuzhen glanced at the kitchen again, then turned around and walked upstairs.
When the customers saw Heiyang Jiuzhen coming upstairs, they immediately stopped communicating.
"First of all, I have to express my gratitude to you. It's because you don't come to the fair these days that we chefs have time to develop more new dishes. Black Sheep Jiuzhen was expressionless, and there was no sense of gratitude at all.
This is obviously to vent the grievances in his heart, now that the wine is in place, he is not afraid of offending customers, if you have the ability, you will never come to patronize, you still have to vent.
Laughter rang out from downstairs.
After a while, the laughter dissipated, and Black Sheep Jiuzhen continued: "Now that the wine has been delivered to our trade hall, everyone will be able to taste the wine soon. But you should also know that because of the limited production of the Huaxia Alliance, our trade hall does not bring enough wine, so in order to allow more customers to taste the taste of wine, and in order to avoid the closure of our trade hall again, we are going to sell it in limited quantities, and one person can only buy one glass of wine. ”
"What? A glass of wine? ”
"How does this work?"
"That's a little too little."
"We've waited so long for you to have a drink with us!"
......
When the customers heard the news, they immediately went crazy!
Heiyang Jiuzhen said: "I can't help it, if there is no limit, many customers will not be able to drink this wine, you see how many customers are waiting outside." However, this situation will not last long, I am already discussing with the Huaxia Alliance to send a convoy over as soon as possible to try to bring more wine here, and when that time comes, there will be no limit. Moreover, according to Richie, this wine is suitable for tasting slowly, not the same as drinking juice, and our dishes today are also made to accompany this wine, if you taste it slowly, a glass of wine is actually enough. But I also know that everyone has been waiting for a hard time, so I made an exception today to allow you to order two drinks, but only for one day. ”
When the customers heard this, not only did they no longer feel angry, but they also suddenly had a sense of luck, if they could drink two drinks today, they would only be able to drink one tomorrow, then of course they were lucky.
Heiyang Jiuzhen saw it in his eyes, and wondered more and more why Li Qi knew the psychology of customers well.
Of course, this is also what Li Qi thought, first stating that he would limit one cup and then add one glass, the purpose of which was to avoid customer dissatisfaction, as long as the day passed, then it would be easier to say in the future.
Not long after Black Sheep Jiuzhen left, a burst of fragrance swept through the entire hall.
Everyone looked for incense, only to see a long right walk out of the kitchen.
"Wow---!"
"I'm not mistaken! That dish... Dishes that actually glow? ”
But when he saw the long on his right, he came up with colorful dishes, not only the colors were bright, but some of the dishes seemed to shimmer with a faint brilliance.
That's how Richie goes with the ingredients here.
