17. Decoration of Malatang Restaurant
Tang Jin's search for Fan Lin was naturally a matter of the Malatang Restaurant. Although it is just starting out, it is not surprising that it will be a big business in a few years.
Fan Lin doesn't have any great talent, I'm afraid the road to fame is bumpy, and his mind is not firm enough. Tang Jin, this is for his good.
"I opened a Malatang restaurant and want to invite you to join." Tang Jin sat down on a stone halfway down the road.
Malatang restaurant?
Fan Lin naturally didn't know what the Malatang Pavilion was, and Tang Jin couldn't help but explain. After listening to this, Fan Lin was still more acceptable, anyway, he had no intention of studying.
"You kid don't read by himself and have to pull me into the water, but isn't this spicy tang delicious, and women like to eat it more?" Fan Lin said with a smile.
Tang Jin nodded, "It's not an exaggeration to call it a friend of women." ”
Friends of Women?
"Hehe, that Lao Tzu did it, Lao Tzu's ideal is to be a friend of women. Hehe, at least I can see beautiful women and eat delicious food every day! Fan Lin clapped.
"You're not afraid that your old man will beat you?" Tang Jin said with a smile.
"Where did he take care of me, he was bent on expecting me to inherit the Fan family rice shop, and I only came to the private school to recognize a few words." Fan Lindao.
Tang Jin thought to himself that Old Man Fan really had a lot of personality, in order to keep his ancestral inheritance, it didn't matter if his son was famous or not.
After discussing, the two of them went to the shop of the Malatang Restaurant on West Street.
As soon as I entered the store, I saw Nangong Wan and Meihua patrolling inside, and at this time, the plasterers on the first floor were building wall piers.
According to Tang Jin's drawings, a hole was punched in the wall between the two rooms on the first floor and a circular arch was made to communicate. Two rows of piers were built on each side of the room, with a passage in between. The wall pier is about 1.5 meters high, and a table and two chairs will be placed between the piers.
"Miss, this is my classmate friend Fan Lin, the only son of the owner of Fan's rice shop." Tang Jin introduced.
Nangong Wan smiled: "I seem to have seen it on the day I applied for the job." ”
The fat man nodded shyly, "It's rare that Miss still remembers me." ”
"Miss, how's the recruitment going?" Tang Jin asked.
"I've recruited four maids, a chef, and a manager." Nangong said gently.
Tang Jin said: "Fan Lin has the ability to do this, I recommend him to be a steward, I don't know what the eldest lady thinks?" ”
Nangong Wan looked at the fat man's fat body, "Is he really good?" Don't be nepotistic! ”
Meihua pouted: "Miss, don't agree, he is obviously installing his cronies." ”
Tang Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Am I as insidious as you say?" ”
"Miss, anyway, I haven't recruited a manager yet, Fan Lin knows the roots, why not try it for a month?" Tang Jin said.
"This ......" Nangong Wan was still a little hesitant.
Tang Jin tugged at Fan Lin's sleeve and motioned for him to make a gesture.
"Miss, I will do my best, I hope Miss can give me a chance!" Fan Lin said seriously.
Nangong Wan hesitated, "Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll try to ask you as a recommender!" Nangong Wan looked at Tang Jindao.
Well, it seems that the sponsor is also at risk, dead fat man, if you can't do it, I'll kill you!
Subsequently, Tang Jin followed Nangong Wan to watch the cement slurry do things.
"Tang Jin, how did you come up with the idea of building a wall pier between the seats? In this way, everyone has a good idea of eating this spicy hot. Nangong Wan looked at a few of the walls that had been built.
Tang Jin secretly thought, this is nothing, but unfortunately there is no cement and ceramic tiles at this time, otherwise it is more beautiful, limited to the conditions, otherwise it can really be engaged in hot pot, and it should be more profitable than Malatang.
"Miss, it's nothing. After the wall piers are built, the carpenter will come to order the tables and chairs and the brand, and be sure to remember that each table and chair corresponds to a brand. Tang Jin said.
Nangong Wan nodded silently.
"And then there's the floor, all carpet." Tang Jin said.
Nangong Wan frowned and said, "If you use carpet all, isn't it easy for the mud on your shoes to stain the carpet on a rainy day?" Could it be that the guest officers change their shoes when they enter the door? ”
"It's not good to change shoes, so I thought of a way, one is to prepare a wet cloth and brush for cleaning shoes outside the door, and use shoe covers on rainy days."
Shoe covers?
Nangong Wan: They don't understand much.
Tang Jin smiled, found a piece of flower cloth in the corner, and wrapped his shoes, "This is called a shoe cover." It's just that it needs to be good. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, this method is good!
"When the time comes, I'll give you the drawings, and you'll ask the tailor to customize a hundred pairs of shoe covers. In the summer, use a thin and breathable and cool fabric, and in the winter, use a thicker cotton cloth to keep warm. ”
Absolutely!
When the plasterer on the side heard this, he couldn't help but stop his work and listened attentively, thinking that this kid is really a genius!
"Well, there will be two shoe cabinets at the door, and shoe covers will be placed in them. Of course, we have another VIP treatment for VIP members, which is to create a shoe cabinet where the customer's replacement shoes are directly placed, and their names or codes are engraved on them. Tang Jin continued.
VIP?
At this time, Nangong Wan hurriedly covered Tang Jin's mouth excitedly, "There are still outsiders here!" ”
Meihua understood, and said to the four cement slurries: "Who dares to say what I heard today, I don't have a penny, and I want to break his legs!" You go out first, our young lady has something to talk about here. ”
The four cement slurries immediately didn't dare to listen anymore, and they all bowed their heads and said: "The little ones don't dare to talk nonsense." Then they walked out of the door one by one.
Tang Jin was covered by the anxious Nangong Wan, and felt the soft fragrance of her little hands: "Miss's hands are so fragrant!" Sorry, leaking trade secrets? It's okay, after our store opens, these things will be stolen by our peers. As long as the secret recipe is not leaked, it's fine. ”
Saying that, Tang Jin handed a note to Nangong Wan, "This is the spice needed, and the recipe is all prepared by me personally, which is top secret." These spices are only available in Sichuan and Shu, and I don't know what they can be sold in Jiangzhou City. ”
Nangong Wan looked at the list of spices and said with a smile: "Except for one or two things, there are others." ”
The focus of Malatang is the spicy soup and spices, as well as the prepared sesame oil chili boys, so you can't be sloppy.
"Well, this matter needs to be done by the lady's cronies." Tang Jin reminded.
"yes, I understand." Nangong said gently.
"What do you mean by the VIP membership customers you just mentioned?" Nangong Wan asked.
"VIP means 'important person', 'important person', 'very important person', that is, the meaning of VIP, distinguished guest, senior user, and senior member." Tang Jin explained.
Immediately took out his own family waist card as an analogy, "This is like my waist card, made of bamboo, with my name written on it, which can prove the identity of my Nangong family." We can do the same for VIP members, and we will do three different levels of membership: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and of course we will do less in the trial phase. ”
Nangong Wan's eyes opened brightly when she heard this, and Fan Lin praised it excitedly, "Genius, my blood is boiling when I hear it!" I don't know if I can get a gold card with this management? ”
"Think beautifully!"
Tang Jin said: "The golden card is really made of gold, and it is engraved with the list of guests, the nickname, as well as his favorite symbols such as plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, weapons, a poem, and even the name of his sweetheart." As for the silver card, there is only a nickname and a name. The bronze card only has a name, and it doesn't have a name. ”
Nangong Wan was also extremely excited in her heart, this VIP idea was simply amazing, she was so good at grasping people's hearts!
"So how do you apply for a gold card?" Nangong Wan asked.
Tang Jin said with a smile: "Because of the first test, the first-level gold VIP card needs to pay a one-time gold ten taels plus the money and manual fees of the gold card itself are thirteen taels, the first-level silver VIP card needs to be recharged with silver thirteen taels at one time, and the first-level bronze VIP card needs to be recharged with five taels of silver at one time." Of course, all this money is recorded and recorded, and after consumption, you still need to recharge it again. For example, if the first-level gold VIP card consumes the thirteen taels of gold in it, then if he recharges the thirteen gold again for the second time, he will automatically upgrade to the second-level gold VIP member customer, and so on! ”
Stunned, everyone listened to it dumbfounded, not only because they were frightened by the price of the VIP membership card, but also because of Tang Jin's whimsical idea.
"Tang Jin, you are such a genius! It's just that thirteen taels of gold is too much? Nangong Wan said.
"I'm not afraid of being expensive, the more expensive it is, the more it can show our nobility and extraordinary, and at the beginning I didn't expect to sell a few gold VIP cards, because our funds are limited, and it would be good to be able to sell some bronze. When the time comes, there is a comparison, and I will develop a few boxes on the second floor, and the time has come. Tang Jin said.
"A box?" Nangong Wan asked.
"Well, on the second floor, I plan to make four boxes of Tiandi Xuanhuang to cook, the wine and dishes are not available in Xunyang Restaurant, and they are not open to the public, only open to VIP customers above the silver level." Tang Jin said.
Served, Nangong Wan really served, this is a tie-in, if you want to eat the delicacies on the second floor, then you have to apply for the VIP card on the first floor, I really didn't expect this qiē Tang Jin to think about it. She was wondering what was in Tang Jin's head.
"And a chef as well?" Nangong said gently.
"No, there are four private rooms in Xuanhuang in heaven and earth, only reservations are accepted, and you have to make an appointment one day in advance to eat here, and it is not open every day. At first, I would cook and teach my dad some recipes. My dad was fired by your eldest brother, and he can come to help me. Tang Jin said.
Nangong Wan nodded, Tang Yong was expelled In fact, she was a little reluctant to go, and was thinking about whether to help him with an errand, but she didn't expect Tang Jin to have already thought about it.
"So you know how to cook?" Nangong Wan said with disbelieving eyes.
"Don't worry, you can just see!"
Tang Jin thought that the eight major cuisines plus Japanese, Korean cuisine, European and American desserts can definitely make their own characteristics, and they will definitely attract some people when the time comes.
"This is called a store-in-store, on the first floor, there is a 'Nangong Wan Delicious Malatang Hall' hanging outside the door, and a 'World Restaurant' is hung upstairs, haha! Rest assured, we also share the income upstairs. Tang Jin said with a smile.
Nangong Wan smiled: "It's pretty much the same. ”
The matter was almost discussed, Nangong Wan said that she wanted to go to her tea house to have a look, and asked Tang Jin if he would like to accompany him and give his opinion by the way.
It seems that Nangong Wan has become more and more trusting of Tang Jin's opinion.
