Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Chen Liqing, of course, his mind is not dizzy, and growing vegetables is his old job. He also had the idea of opening a self-service hot pot restaurant in Shanghai.

The flow of people in Shanghai, as well as the level of workers' wages, are completely enough to afford the price of self-service hot pot, plus there are foreigners from all over the world in Shanghai, they must be interested in this novelty, Chen Liqing can even expect that the business of opening a hot pot restaurant in Shanghai will definitely be ten times more popular than in Guiyang.

And if the hot pot restaurants are famous in the eyes of foreigners, then Chen Liqing's hot pot restaurants can be opened all over the world like KFC in the future.

Of course, to open this kind of hot pot restaurant, it is the key to enrich the supply of vegetables and meat that is cheap enough, so Chen Liqing will take a fancy to this place in Lanshui Village.

He is ready to promote the Pingyue agricultural product recycling and processing planting model in places like Lanshui Village, and Huo Yuanjia's family happens to be able to help him.

In August, it was said that the second largest road in Shanghai was bustling.

"Let's take a look, the Chinese's new hot pot, self-service five-mao hot pot, has come out."

"Hundreds of dishes, you can choose, you can taste, only five cents, five cents let you not only eat full, but also eat well. As long as five cents, you can eat and drink as much as you want. "

Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers and the noisy sound of gongs and drums, Chen's self-service hot pot opened in Shanghai.

The busy workers, as well as passers-by, were immediately attracted by the sound.

"Chen's hot pot, what is this?" They saw the huge and transparent hot pot restaurant behind the lively lion dance team, and the row of welcoming ladies wearing cheongsams and exposing their thighs standing in front of the hot pot restaurant.

"Welcome to Chen's Hot Pot, there are hundreds of dishes for you to taste and choose from." The welcome ladies held exquisite dishes, and they also turned their heads to shout to the lively crowd.

Such a unique opening ceremony, where have people seen it more than 100 years ago, and they were immediately aroused by Chen's hot pot.

"This big brother, come and try hot pot, for only five cents, you can eat chicken, duck, pork, and many dishes." The guys who were wearing clothes with the words 'Jingwumen' on their backs also hurriedly introduced to the people next to them.

"Five cents, all-you-can-eat?" People were a little concerned about such a high price, but when they heard that they could eat it casually, some people couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes, whatever you want, we have chicken, duck, pork, mutton, cabbage here-" The man said the basic dishes like an endorsement, and at the end, he added: "By the way, we have a cool sour plum juice here that you can drink as much as you like." "

"So many things? Is it really only five cents? "People were surprised.

With surprise, some people still couldn't help but say: "But on this hot day, what if we eat hot pot?" Isn't it hotter? Looking at the scorching sun and the hot pot being displayed outside, some people were excited, but they were still hesitant because of the heat.

At this time, it is the best summer, although the greenhouse effect is not so obvious during this period, and the temperature in Shanghai is not so high, but it is full of more than 20 degrees, close to 30 degrees. Eating hot pot on a hot day is the first time for people.

"Big brother, don't worry, do you see which fan next to each of our tables? It automatically brings you air and keeps you from eating hot. In the face of the hot weather, Chen Liqing was of course prepared, and the electric fan came in handy.

Although their hot pot restaurant only opened today, another electrical appliance store presided over by Chen Liqing: an electrical appliance store specializing in electric fans, has already sold very well.

The electric fan was invented around 1890, but in China, a country where electricity was not yet universal, the electric fan was not very popular.

However, at this time in Shanghai, electricity has already been popularized, and when summer came, Chen Liqing found that they did not have electric fans, so he thought of buying electric fans as soon as his heart moved. However, even in an international metropolis like Shanghai, although electric fans are available, they are not so popular. Chen Liqing didn't buy it, and if he couldn't buy it, he made it himself, and finally it took nearly 20 days or so for him to produce an electric fan at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

As a result, the household fan was in the hands of Chen Liqing, and it had been a full month since it opened, and he had already sold more than 1,000 units at a price of 100 silver dollars.

At this time, opening a hot pot restaurant, Chen Liqing naturally thought of the problem of heat, and under the hundreds of electric fans in the hot pot restaurant, it was not very hot to eat hot pot.

Seeing such a cool environment and such a variety of dishes, what reason is there to refuse this new type of hot pot?

Therefore, after a period of publicity, some people who were not short of money in their pockets and were just about to go to dinner came to Chen Liqing's hot pot restaurant.

Someone started, and the rest of the people who were not short of money also stepped forward. After all, this is not a small city like Guiyang, and there are still many people who take out five cents for a meal.

You know, living in Shanghai, it costs about a dollar to stir-fry for two people in a casual restaurant, and you can only fry two meat dishes. And now, for the same amount of money, you can eat more, why not choose hot pot.

People who are already eating are naturally willing to try something new, a new variety.

As a result, it successfully attracted customers, and Chen's hot pot opened smoothly.

After the opening, the novel form of self-service hot pot aroused people's admiration, and when they went out with their stomachs in their arms, they were full of praise for the hot pot restaurant. Under the demonstration of these people, on the opening day, more than 1,000 people dined at Chen's hot pot.

In the following days, as more and more people dined, as the new situation of self-service hot pot spread throughout Shanghai, Chen's hot pot ushered in more and more guests, and in just one week, almost 30,000 people went to Chen's hot pot to dine.

After all, in this period, spending five cents to be able to eat casually is very attractive to ordinary people and to the masses.

After the meal, the people praised the environment of Chen's hot pot and the effect of the food, and under the development of this cycle of good surnames, Chen's hot pot is naturally becoming more and more popular.

For the same amount of money, some people can eat more things in Chen's hot pot, enjoy the treatment of electric fans, and drink sour plum juice at great value, and people really can't find fault with this type of restaurant.

So, with the passage of time, Chen's hot pot business is getting better and better, and there are more and more people dining, and it has only been two weeks since it opened, and there are people waiting outside. As a last resort, Chen Liqing and they had to open another hot pot restaurant for emergency.

And in just one month, Chen Liqing and their hot pot restaurants have opened three in Shanghai.

Such a hot business would have caused people to be jealous, but under Chen Qimei's care and money, Chen's hot pot did not encounter any trouble for the time being, and it was temporarily stable in Shanghai.

It's a September evening, Lanshui Village, Huo Yuanjia's house.

In the crackling sound, Chen Liqing finally saw Zheng Yuxiu settle the account and straighten his waist.

"What's the matter, third sister-in-law, how much money have we earned this month?" Seeing that Zheng Yuxiu had just settled the account, Chen Liqing couldn't help but ask.

On the side, as Chen Liqing spoke, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Gongzhe, Zhang Xianmo, and Yu Peilun and more than a dozen people also cast curious glances.

For a month, they all saw the boom in the business of the hot pot restaurant, and although people had a scale in their hearts, they still couldn't help but want to know the specific number.

Zheng Yuxiu raised her head and couldn't help rubbing her waist, her stomach was already bulging, she didn't participate in anything this month, so she had to settle the account. Seeing that everyone cared so much, she looked at the calculated numbers and couldn't help but say: "A lot, Liqing, this month, we have earned a lot." "

Zheng Yuxiu was a little dizzy when she saw this series of figures, and she couldn't believe that their family had made so much money, so she had to replace it with a lot.

"Well, third sister-in-law, how much is a lot, I need specific numbers." Chen Liqing smiled bitterly, and then asked repeatedly.

Zheng Yuxiu blushed for a moment, and then looked down at the account book again.

"Excluding expenses and wages, we have made a total profit of 137,653 yuan and five cents a month this month."

"If you add the fan shop, we have made a profit of more than 300,000 silver dollars this month." Zheng Yuxiu looked up and said.

Everyone was silent, and then one by one they couldn't help but hear the voices of exclamation.

"This, so much?" Chen Gongzhe couldn't help but shout out in surprise, he was a bridge between Chen Qimei and Chen Liqing, and now he couldn't help but be surprised, surprised, and even shocked when he heard that Chen Liqing's business could make so much money in a month after removing the cost.

"Yes, there are so many." Zheng Yuxiu listened to everyone's amazement, and then couldn't help but look at Zhang Xianmo with admiration.

"These are all the credits of Brother Zhang." She couldn't help but look at Zhang Xianmo with admiration, she didn't expect that her husband Chen Lileng's family would have such a business wizard. In just two months, they actually made money that others would never dare to think of in their lifetime.

Zhang Xianmo was looked at by everyone, and his face couldn't help but be a little unbearable: "How can there be, third sister, don't give me a high hat, without everyone's help, I can't sell it for so much money even if I am alone, these credits are not mine, but belong to everyone." Zhang Xianmo hurriedly looked at everyone, of course, he deliberately looked at Chen Liqing.

Although he has been busy with these things in the past few months, only he knows that he can make money, relying on Chen Liqing's whimsy, he is just repeating what he did in Pingyue.

Of course, everyone didn't know this, they hurriedly said that Zhang Xianmo was modest, Zhang Xianmo was speechless, embarrassed to death, and it was not to bear it, nor was it to bear it.

Fortunately, everyone complimented a few words, and Zhang Xianmo reminded everyone to return to the topic.
