Chapter 68: The Only One

In the morning, I accidentally overslept.

The fire kang in the new plate slept so well, plus I reclaimed a piece of land last night, and I was not lightly tired, so I slept until three poles in the morning.

Sleep until you wake up naturally, reach out and yawn, and there is no one by the pillow.

"Husband is awake."

The door opened, Wan Niang walked in, today's Wan Niang looks extraordinarily spiritual and charming, her face is like a peach blossom, take a closer look, only to find that she actually wiped her blush today, wiped rouge, and also inserted the golden hairpin given by Li Xiao on her head, and her hair was also extraordinarily neat.

Especially the red skirt on the body, which makes people look even more charming.

Li Xiao found that after cleaning up like this, Wanniang was no longer that simple appearance, and immediately glowed.

"You're so beautiful today." Li Xiao praised.

Wan Niang smiled slightly, and brought a tray, "Seeing how well you sleep, I can't bear to wake you up and let you sleep longer." If you're hungry, here's breakfast for you, steamed cakes and chicken, and porridge. ”

Steamed buns with steam, two boiled eggs, a bowl of porridge, and a thick love breakfast.

This day has made Li Xiao a little addicted, it is really gentle.

In fact, the life of the landlord can be very leisurely.

When you take a bite of the bun, the oil flows out, the leek pork is filled, and the soup is fresh and tender, which is called a delicious one. In particular, this bun has a thin skin and is very soft, and I don't know how much better it is than the ordinary Datang version of steamed cakes.

"Today's buns are so delicious, you can eat one too, lady."

"I've eaten it." Wan Niang smiled.

Li Xiao looked at the bun in her hand and knew that she definitely hadn't eaten it, this was a bun made of white flour, where could this stupid woman be willing to eat it, not to mention that it was still stuffed with meat.

"One for each person, I can't finish it."

couldn't excuse herself, Wan Niang took a bun and bit it down. Watching her eat, she is really gentle, like a kitten, and Li Xiao eats with a bit of a hungry feeling, swallowing like a dog grabbing food.

"Madame is really talented in cooking, I told you about this steamed bun once, and you are already better than me now."

Datang actually has steamed buns and even flower rolls, but they are basically called steamed cakes, and there are still some differences in the method, such as Li Xiao's buns.

"I think Madame can find two clever servants at home to learn how to make these steamed buns with you, and then let them go to the restaurant on the street with Biaozi. As long as they can live to six or seven percent of your craftsmanship, they will definitely make the business of the store more prosperous. ”

"It's not such an exaggeration." Wan Niang looked happy.

"I'm telling the truth, our steamed buns and steamed buns are really not ordinary, and I have also eaten steamed hu in Chang'an City, and the taste can only be said to be average. By the way, in our restaurant, it will be called steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and steamed buns, not steamed cakes and steamed hu, we have to be the only one. ”

"Everyone calls it steamed cakes, steamed buns, and other people can't figure out what it is?"

"This is called brand awareness, we can also add a blue bridge name in front of our steamed buns, or directly call it Lijiazhuang steamed buns, so that everyone will remember them after eating them in the future." If others want to learn from us in the future, they can't learn from us. ”

Everyone makes steamed cakes, but Duli's family sells steamed buns, which is different.

For example, if Li Xiao wants to open a restaurant, he didn't think about opening an ordinary one, but plans to focus on stir-frying, and also sell steamed buns and other pastries.

As long as you do a good job of a group of customers, it is actually enough.

"If the store also sells white flour steamed buns, it won't be easy."

In these years, in the northern region, especially in the Guanzhong region, the most planted grains are millet and millet, that is, millet and rhubarb rice, which are actually wheat.

Moreover, after the wheat grown by ordinary people is harvested, it is basically directly shelled and cooked into wheat rice to eat, and there are very few white flour grinding, the main reason is that the cost of grinding flour is relatively high.

In these years, the landlord Haoqiang and those big scholars can occupy the canals, build weirs and water mills, these water mills mill rice grinding noodles processing costs are not low, such as the water mill in Chang'an City, a year can even earn thousands of dollars, you can see the huge profits.

Large profits naturally mean high processing costs. Ordinary people are willing to spend that money, so most of them cook wheat rice directly to eat, although the taste is poor, but after all, there is no need to spend extra money, not to mention that wheat is ground into noodles, and it costs a lot.

Wan Niang thinks that if the Li family's restaurant also makes white bread, steamed buns, and flower rolls in the future, then the cost of grinding noodles will have to increase.

If you add in the oil cost of stir-frying, the cost of this new restaurant after opening is much higher than that of ordinary restaurants.

"There is input to output, we don't have to be afraid of these when we open a restaurant, no matter how much flour we make, we make pastries, they are all sold at a higher price, and we will not lose money." Besides, the customers we are targeting are people with relatively high spending power, since they can eat stir-fried vegetables, will they not be able to afford to eat white bread steamed buns? ”

After breakfast, Li Xiao came to the courtyard to start his late morning exercise.

Da Biao was already waiting there.

"San Lang, I think about it, I am willing to go to Lanxi to take care of the restaurant, but I can't accept twenty percent of the silver shares, I don't have the capital to invest, to be honest, I came here from Jiangnan, I can change my face and start all over again, I don't know how grateful San Lang is." I'll help manage the restaurant over there, just be a shopkeeper, and get a salary. ”

Li Xiao squatted and spat out turbidity.

"Da Biao, we are all lifelong friends, and we came from the pile of dead people, and it was not easy to survive, so don't say those polite words. I asked you to run a restaurant together, not to pity you, but to think that you have the ability to do a good job, although I take the capital, but you come forward to take care of it, we will divide it into 28 shares, and make money together. If you feel that you have taken advantage of it, then you can run it well and make the restaurant more profitable, then don't you repay my favor? I'll be able to earn it then. ”

"Then I'll still take the body shares, two percent of the body shares, make money and dividends, if I don't make money, I won't divide it." Da Biao insisted.

"Don't talk to a family, you are not an ordinary shopkeeper, you are my partner. You can do it if you want to do 20% of the silver shares, if you don't want to, I'll find someone else. Pillars and two dogs, they are probably willing to do it. ”

Da Biao was not happy when he heard it, "The two boys Zhuzi and Ergou are still too young, and I don't feel at ease when they go." Unless Lao Yang goes, it's almost the same! ”

"Big eyes have to take care of the private school for me, and I have to take care of the accounts, how can I have time to take care of the restaurant, and then Lao Yang is okay to eat, but it's really not good at cooking and opening a restaurant. Don't talk about it, this matter is settled, you pick two people in your family to go with you, go to the store first, and then I will plan and design the restaurant, and you will buy all kinds of things to prepare for the opening. ”

When it came to this, Da Biao didn't say anything anymore.

"San Lang, don't worry, I will never let you lose money."

"I believe in my vision, and next year we will open a branch!"
