Chapter 41: The Enemy's Money Must Be Earned
After a day and most of the night's trekking, early in the morning, Dong Ku and his party came to a mountain bag near Hulin, where they changed their guns and Japanese uniforms and hid them; Dong Ku was still dressed as a businessman, Huzi was still a follower, Liu Zhong and the others were dressed as coolies, and the group left the mountain and walked towards the tiger forest in the melting frost on the ground.
The sentry happened to be the puppet army on duty again, and when he saw Dong Ku and his party, he didn't dare to confirm it: "You are old... Back to old restaurants? ”
"Ha Lu Ha! yes, I've been gone for more than two months, come back and take a look. Dong Ku said, looking back at the few people behind him, and when he turned around, he raised his hand and popped out a silver dollar.
The pockmarked face was full of flattering smiles, skillfully caught it, nodded and let Dong Ku into the sentry post.
Liu Zhong and others followed, all remembering Dong Ku's words, watching more, listening more, and talking less; They were silent, followed Dong Ku, and entered the sentry post all the way.
Before he walked to the old restaurant, Dong Ku saw a different change there. Although it was only about nine o'clock in the morning, it had not yet arrived at the meal, and there were already people coming in and out. Looking at the face again, Dong Ku saw that the side had expanded.
"Business is booming?"
Dong Ku muttered to himself in his heart, and led everyone to the old restaurant in Kanto.
"You're here, boss!"
The guy at the door had a vicious eye, and he recognized Dong Ku at a glance, and without waiting for Dong Ku to get close, he trotted up to meet him.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Great ......."
Dong Kuha smiled and popped out a silver dollar, which was very bossy.
"Owner, don't you dare to ......"
The man was terrified to return the silver dollar.
"Take it, and you will be rewarded with your eyesight."
Dong Ku waved his hand to stop the man's hand, and walked inside as he spoke.
"You're going to be slow......"
The man's face was fully folded, and he hurried forward to lead the way.
As soon as he entered the hall, Dong Ku saw that the left and right sides had opened their own portals, and the portals were full of tables and chairs; Seeing this, the previous judgment was confirmed, and the old restaurant really expanded its shop.
Retracting his gaze, Dong Ku saw Uncle Cheng at the counter nodding at him, so he also nodded in greeting, and asked, "Man, what is there to eat at this point?" ”
"Owner, there are steamed buns, bean buns, and only pickles and beef platters for this order, and hot dishes will have to wait."
"Oh......"
While the guy was talking, Dong Ku had already seen a cold dish on the table of a diner: "Take my guy upstairs first, put on some platters and let them eat slowly, waiting for the stove to open." ”
"The owner, there is a private room here, so I will arrange it for you......"
The guy said quickly, and stretched out his hand to let Liu Zhong and the others, who had already entered the door and stood on the side.
"Huh?"
Dong Ku looked at the room on the east side of the right side of the building, and faintly felt that there was something special.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a commotion poured into the room.
"Japanese ronin?"
Turning his head to look, a few ronins with wild knives were laughing and laughing, and no one walked in, and before the guy could speak, one of them said in a half-baked Chinese: "Four portions of sauce beef...... Two pounds of soju, ...... quickly"
As he spoke, he didn't look at Dong Ku and the others, and walked straight upstairs.
The guy looked at Dong Ku apologetically, turned around and shouted, "Four plates of sauced beef upstairs, two catties of soju......"
"Oh yes......"
Dong Ku understood, it seemed that the upstairs was occupied by the ronin and the Japanese army of the Japanese pioneer group, or would he not let himself go up.
After understanding, Dong Ku waited for the guy to turn around, and said with a smile: "Take my guy to the private room, serve beef and steamed buns first, and if there is porridge in the stove room, the family will bring them a bowl." ”
"Yes, there is a little porridge that we boil ourselves."
Seeing that Dong Ku didn't mention the matter of going upstairs again, the guy responded again and again, and let Liu Zhong and the others walk towards the east door......
Dong Ku walked to the counter after Liu Zhong and the others left.
"The owner is fine, and Cheng is deeply pleased."
Uncle Cheng said with his fists clenched.
Unharmed?
Dong Ku quickly pondered this word in his mind, and he suddenly understood that the previous kidnapping ticket had reached Uncle Cheng's ears.
"Ha Lu Ha...... The beard only wants money, and he is quite particular, and the money is released......"
Dong Ku clenched his fists and smiled: "It makes Uncle Cheng worried." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, you call me an old achievement."
Uncle Cheng said, walked to the side, opened the horizontal plate on the counter and said, "The owner, the shopkeeper has instructed you to invite you in when you come, so that you can settle the dividend." ”
"Bonus ......"
Dong Ku then remembered that he still had dividends here.
"Good! I have something to discuss with the shopkeeper. ”
With that, Dong Ku turned around the counter and walked inside.
As soon as he entered the courtyard-like courtyard, Uncle Tie was standing there, seemingly waiting for Dong Ku, and when he saw Dong Ku coming in, his face was still cold, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, please come in." ”
"Uncle Tie is polite."
Dong Ku walked inside, pondering, it seems that they have a way to deliver the news, otherwise, Uncle Tie would not be waiting here.
Yan'er still opened the door after Uncle Tie knocked on the door, but Uncle Tie did not follow in this time, but stood outside.
"Shopkeeper Liu, business is booming."
Dong Ku put on his shoes and said sincerely as he walked.
"Isn't this all Mr. Dong's recipe! You may be seated. ”
Liu Ruji's delicate and non-powdered Dai hung a faint smile, and while holding the teacup and putting it over, she was polite.
"Oh? Are these recipes selling? ”
"Seriously, Mr. Dong, I didn't expect it to be so popular, especially the hot pot and teppanyaki, which are full every day, and the profits of teppanyaki are still large, plus the way and taste are fresh, so it is common for a table to make a net profit of one silver dollar, and sometimes it is possible to meet something that can be eaten, and the profit of two silver dollars per table is available." Liu Ruji said, and pushed the two silver dollars to Dong Ku.
Hot, this is expected, Dong Ku was not too surprised, he didn't look at the two bundles of silver dollars wrapped in red silk, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhang, I came in and saw that the shop was expanded, and the left and right sides were down." ”
"yes. On the 10th day of the launch of hot pot and teppanyaki, the place was overcrowded, and as a last resort, the shops on both sides were ordered and renovated after May. ”
"Liu Zhang's cabinet, after the renovation, will the current pattern still be maintained?"
"It's not determined for the time being, I don't know what Mr. Lu Daodong thinks?"
Liu Ruji's eyes flashed with wisdom, holding the teapot, looking at Dong Ku with beautiful eyes and asking.
"Ha Lu Ha! I can't talk about it, there are more places to eat, and I just have a personal opinion. Dong Ku smiled heartily, picked up the teacup and drank it all, without waiting for Liu Ru to ask, put down the teacup and continued, "At present, Anle Town is sparsely populated, and the existing shops are enough. ”
"Whose money ......"
Liu Ruji pondered for a moment and said, "I think it should be to make money from rich people." ”
Dong Ku nodded and praised: "What the shopkeeper said is right, doing business should be to make money from rich people, so that the profits are large, and there are many funds gathered; So in your opinion, who do you think has money in this place of Anle Town? ”
"Who has the money?"
Liu Ruji hesitated for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Mr. Dong means ......"
"Ha Lu Ha! The great wisdom of the shopkeeper Liu, I already understand that the people here can't afford to eat these, and there are so many rich people in total, so the real rich people are the imperial army, the pioneer group, and the imperial army! ”
Liu Ruji didn't pick up the stubble, his thinking eyes lowered, and he refilled Dong Ku's tea.
"Liu Zhang's cabinet, if the upstairs is left to the pioneer regiment and the Dongying soldiers, the left side is reserved for the imperial army, and the right side is used as a place for old diners, not to mention that the space can be fully utilized, and the passenger flow is guaranteed, but this is safe ......."
"There is no problem with safety for the time being, and I will consider Mr. Dong's proposal."
Liu Ruji's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Dong Ku with a smile and said.
"There are Koreans in the Imperial Army, they are far away from home, and they must have a deep affection for hometown cuisine, I have been to Goryeo, their kimchi is very good, and immediately the cat ears, cucumber fragrance, bracken, etc. on the mountain will come down, collect some, and the three-day brewing can be served, and with some Korean cuisine, it should attract a lot of Korean people."
Liu Ruji's eyes gradually lit up, she didn't interrupt Dong Ku, but leaned forward slightly, listening intently.
Dong Kuyu took a sip of tea and continued: "As for the upstairs, if you change it to a Japanese style and add some Japanese dishes, such as sashimi, sushi, etc., it will take out the money in their pockets to a greater extent, just manage this piece, you will have to bother, upstairs should try to use the women in the pioneer group, or the women of the nearby Dongying expatriates, so that the feeling of home will be strong." ”
"Mr. Dong is such a strange person!"
Liu Ruji's eyes widened in shock, she really didn't expect Dong Ku to have such a deep understanding and advanced service concept in terms of operation.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Seeing and laughing, there are more places to eat, and more to see, I have my own ideas, but this kind of model is still suitable for this small place of Anle Town, and it is difficult to implement it if you want to go to Harbin, or Xinjing and Fengtian. ”
"Oh? Does Mr. Dong have a better plan? Then why don't we change the current dividend method and change it to cooperation, you see......"
"It's not right, it's not right." Dong Ku shook his hand and said, "Dong is a lazy person, he doesn't know anything about management, and he doesn't want to stay in one place for a long time, let me get involved in this trivial management, which will not only delay things, but also stuff Dong." ”
"Then Mr. Dong, can you write the recipe for the kimchi, cuisine, and sashimi you just said, and we will continue the previous dividend method?"
"This is simple, Dong has nothing to do, and there are dividends to be taken, why not do it, but the shopkeeper must be adjusted, otherwise it will be messy, and it will lose a quiet environment."
Dong Ku said with a faint smile. These are just necessary courses for agent training in later generations, and let him say that there is no problem, but if he does, it is not something that he, a person who takes a gun as his life, can fiddle with.
After a pause, without waiting for Liu Ruji to speak, Dong Ku continued: "The flow and quality of people in the place determine the quality of business, if Liu Shopkeeper really intends to develop in terms of diet, Dong can really cooperate with Liu Shopkeeper, I believe that this set of diet plans and some lost diet recipes I designed, not to mention that it is not difficult to become popular in Fengtian and Harbin, and it is not difficult to become popular in the West." ”
"Mr. Dong's talent makes the little woman admire, try it according to your plan first, and see the effect in this Anle Town, if it really works, then the investment is still up to me, Mr. Dong still shares the dividends, you see ...... like this"
"Ha Lu Ha ......"
Dong Ku smiled heartily: "A few storefronts are not a big deal for Dong, those will be put in the back first, I will first sort out the applicable ones here, first let the Liu shopkeeper be familiar with it, cultivate some relevant cooks, and then make plans." ”
Just as his words fell, two breaths suddenly came from Dong Ku's ears.
Dong Ku's eyes froze, and his ears moved: Huh? There is someone behind the paper door! It's all a practitioner!!
