Chapter 36 The opening of a fast food restaurant
Before the opening, Fang Xiaoyu printed a lot of opening flyers, and at the same time, they were mixed with discounted meal coupons, so that Xiaofeng took people all over the city to distribute them, and as a result, this novel advertising method made the whole city know that Fang Xiaoyu was going to open a fast food restaurant. On the day of the opening, Fang Xiaoyu found out how big his appeal was in the capital, the crowded situation was a little unbearable, and the boss Qian was experienced, so he prepared a large number of people to receive guests early, so as not to be in a hurry.
"Xiaoyu, you're so lively here." Wu Wei said with a smile. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Grandpa, you're here." Looking back, almost all of the relatives of the Fang family in the capital, including the three grandfathers, the eldest uncle Fang Weiming, the fifth uncle Fang Weiqun and the eldest brother Fang Dingguo, came. Fang Dingguo leaned over and whispered: "Little brother, it looks like your advertisement is working well, so many people." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's okay, I should be able to make money from this fast food restaurant." Fang Dingguo said: "Is there any business you do that is not profitable?" But it's all a small amount of money, and when will our cement workshop open, I'll have built it. "So soon, I'll go here when I'm done, and the sooner we open, the better." Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly.
Uncle Fang Weiming on the side stretched his neck and didn't hear a reason, so he had to ask, "Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?" Before Fang Xiaoyu could speak, Fang Dingguo preemptively said: "Dad, this is my business with Xiaoyu, you can't grab it." Fang Weiming glanced at his son and said: "Look at your profit, what kind of business is so strict, I'm afraid that your father won't be able to share your profits." Fang Dingguo nodded affirmatively: "That's right, this is my private money, you can't interfere." ”
Before Fang Weiming could say something, a voice next to him suddenly sounded: "Lieutenant Colonel Fang, I am here to send you a congratulatory gift on behalf of Marshal Xia." Fang Xiaoyu looked back and saw that it was an old acquaintance Xia Ziqing. Immediately afterwards, Marshal Xiahou Feng and Chen Qun, the secretary of the ministry, all sent people to congratulate, and even the Xia family sisters came to join in the fun, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly found that he had completely demolished the compartment and was a little reckless, and there was no place to entertain these distinguished guests.
Fortunately, everyone and Fang Xiaoyu are acquaintances, and they don't care about these false courtesies. Before it opened, Fang Xiaoyu invited these distinguished guests and their families into the first floor and let them see his new design. The first floor was used by Fang Xiaoyu as a complex of taverns and teahouses.
From the beginning of breakfast, rice porridge, fritters, soy milk, baked cakes and other breakfast series that others have not seen before, at noon and in the evening are mainly a variety of cold and hot dishes and thyme wine, and the rest of the time there are tea and snacks for those who rest their feet, of course, it is mainly used to promote Fang Xiaoyu's new vegetables and new seasonings.
Fang Xiaoyu just ran this place as an ordinary restaurant and teahouse, just using novel dishes to attract customers, but despite this, everyone was still attracted by the variety of dishes in the display case, and they were even more surprised that they, the guests from some of the most prominent families in the Lanfang Empire, had never heard of most of the dishes here.
On the second floor is the fast food part of Fang Xiaoyu's feature, which is all set menus, and the display cabinets are all samples of fast food, where guests can choose, and then order the type of fast food they want directly from the counter, and the waiter standing behind the counter will use those stamped out plates to serve them over.
Due to the seasonal nature of vegetables, Fang Xiaoyu put the main dishes of fast food restaurants on all kinds of meats, and with the research support of Xiaofeng, not only the dishes are rich in all the cuisines of China on the earth, but even the seasoning recipes used in various meats belonging to Western food have also been studied.
In the 23rd century, the secret ingredients of McDonald's KFC and other fast food restaurants are no secret, although Xiaofeng's system does not have a complete configuration method, the name of the seasoning on the ingredient list is still there, and after many tests, the taste is not bad, but Fang Xiaoyu only put the main dishes of these meats in the fast food part on the second floor.
After turning around, Fang Weiming asked: "Xiaoyu, although it is good here, there is no compartment for the rich, I am afraid that this place can only make money from civilians." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, I am mainly to promote some new vegetables grown in Lanting Villa and some new spices that I am going to produce, not specifically to open a restaurant, and we also have a takeaway business, which is specifically for the rich." ”
Xia Tingyun answered: "What is a takeaway? Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Takeout means that you can order food here, and we will deliver it to each other's homes after we make it." "After listening to it, everyone understood that the takeaway was to order food at the restaurant to eat at home, which is not unusual, it is an ordinary restaurant, and there are often people who feast guests like this."
When it opened, it was extremely lively, Fang Xiaoyu invited jugglers according to the rules of the Lanfang Empire, and also prepared a large number of firecrackers. The whole fast-food restaurant is full of people, people are amazed by the exquisite dishes and beautiful waitresses, and even the large lattice glass windows on the second floor that can see the kitchen are just as eye-catching, after all, the transparent glass panes that are half a meter square are a rarity in this day and age.
The kitchen chefs and waiters were very busy, except for the three bookkeepers, even the money shopkeeper personally went to the counter to collect the money. The price of Fang Xiaoyu's dishes is not high, and ordinary people can completely afford to consume it once in a while, so from this day on, McDonald's fast food restaurants are always overcrowded, even if they pass by here, people will be attracted by the fragrance of vegetables wafting out, and they can't help but stop. Since reservations are not supported here, people who come to eat even have to queue up for a long time, and even have a special business to queue up for people at the end of the day, feeding a group of professional queuing people.
After the opening ceremony, Fang Xiaoyu did not stay here, but invited all the distinguished guests to the Fang family's old house not far from here, he specially ordered food from his fast food restaurant, and asked for a copy of all the dishes he was good at, and the rich dishes filled four large round tables, and the pots and bowls were stacked on top of each other on three floors. It was the first time for everyone to see these exquisite dishes, and they smelled such a strong aroma of vegetables, even these big people who were accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas were surprised, and Xia Tingyun even announced that she would order food at McDonald's fast food restaurants every day in the future. For this lovely fiancée, Fang Xiaoyu is naturally very generous, and he immediately said that he must instruct the fast food restaurant to make one every day and send it to Xia's house.
The prosperity of the fast food restaurant was expected by Fang Xiaoyu, but the main thing was not this, Fang Xiaoyu asked people to open a vegetable wholesale in the north of the city, specializing in selling vegetables grown in Lanting Villa. With the publicity of the fast food restaurant, Fang Xiaoyu's new vegetables began to have a market, and the vegetable vendors in the city were vying to buy vegetables here, and the vegetables in the villa suddenly opened up sales.
Sales in the food industry can be connected and mutually promoted. The Lanting Villa Brewery, which was also established, began to send new seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to the Fang family's shop, and at the same time sold recipes compiled by Fang Xiaoyu, passing on some simple dishes that could be made at home.
Fang Xiaoyu is not afraid of the outflow of his dishes, on the contrary, he is very supportive, because the more people will meet these dishes, the better his vegetables and seasonings will sell, anyway, those more high-end dishes Fang Xiaoyu did not explode, he will only slowly introduce new dishes through recipes, constantly attracting everyone's attention, anyway, Xiaofeng keeps providing new dishes and is not afraid of being robbed of business, the research of these dishes is still very economical in research points.
The secret seasoning of the main dishes of those fast food restaurants is still kept secret, in order to keep it absolutely secret, Fang Xiaoyu did not even set up a workshop at all, but relied on Xiaofeng to supply, because Fang Xiaoyu's plan is to let the future fast food restaurants go out of the capital and expand to the entire Lanfang Empire and even the entire world, forming a global coverage model like McDonald's and KFC on the earth, and this secret recipe is naturally the top priority.
The fast food restaurant is just a small project of Fang Xiaoyu, not so much to make money, but to advertise the agricultural products of Lanting Villa to open up sales, he is most concerned about the construction of the cement workshop, at this time he came to a workshop at the foot of Luoyun Mountain.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at several tall calciners and said, "It's completely enough here, but unfortunately there is no water power here, so I have to send the calcined semi-finished products back to the villa for grinding." Fang Dingguo hurriedly said on the side: "Xiaoyu, this place has been built, and the people have been found, how can we make cement." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "This is easy to do." After saying that, he walked over to a pile of rocks and checked out a piece and said, "Just burn this." Fang Dingguo's eyes widened and said, "Burn stones? We invested so much money just to burn stones? Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's right, you just need to add some gypsum to this stone and clay in a ratio of three to one, put it in the calcining furnace, and then send the calcined object to the villa." ”
