After half a year's experience, Lin Qi also roughly understood what Ji Junyang said, "The rise of Xiangxuehai is because of its difference; The disadvantage of the other shops of the Lin family lies in the meaning of "being the same as the others", and they also began to have a vague understanding of what Lin Ruo said, "Only by being familiar with the management of Xiangxuehai can you really learn how to run the entire Lin family".

Lin Qi understood that Lin Ruo was helping him clear the obstacles step by step, and then put a better Lin family into his hands. As for Li Yan, who has come back and is about to become the shopkeeper of the "Star Picking Building", Lin Qi is also very curious. Su Muyu and Luo Er would occasionally mention this Li Dashao who frightened them, and when Ji Junyang talked about him, he was more respectful.

He didn't have a deep impression of Li Yan, but he remembered that there was such a big brother when he was a child, who looked kind and smiled gently, but a little harshly, except for Lin Ruo.

This seemingly kind big brother really has such a ...... wrist Is it scary?

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!"

"Huh?"

Lin Ruo's call made Lin Qi come back to his senses and asked, "Second sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Uncle and Brother Li are asking you about Xiang Xuehai's business!"

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, laughed twice to resolve the embarrassment, looked at Lao Qi and several people standing in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong with Xiang Xuehai?" ”

Looking at his appearance, Lin Ruo couldn't help but smile: "Young owner, it's your turn to talk about Xiang Xuehai's business!" ”

"Oh, oh!" Lin Qi came to his senses and looked at Lao Qi and a few people in charge, "You guys, where did you say?" ”

Li Yan frowned, a little dissatisfied with Lin Qi's performance in the world.

Lin Ruo reminded in a low voice: "The accounts are all clear, and it is left to do what Xiang Xuehai plans to do next." ”

Lin Qi nodded, whispered to Lin Ruo, "Thank you, second sister", and then began to narrate his plan.

"Let's talk about gluttony first. Originally, a new dish was created every month. But I took a closer look, and it has been nearly four years since the opening of Gluttony Sea, with nearly 50 new dishes and dim sum, plus the original 36, a total of 86 dishes, many of which are quite popular with everyone's signatures, but they are relatively scattered. If you continue to keep coming up with new dishes or snacks every month, in a few years, the menu will continue to grow, and the regular customers will be fine, but the new customers will have a hard time quickly choosing from the many dishes they want to taste. ”

Lin Ruo nodded and agreed: "There is indeed this problem. So what are you going to do? ”

Recognized by Lin Ruo, Lin Qi was very happy, pretending to be old and heavy: "Second sister, I think so!" The reason why Gluttony Sea was able to dominate Bian'an City was because from the beginning, it chose a different way from other old restaurants, at the beginning, everyone just came to try it, and later found that the dishes were exquisite, the taste was very good, and the dishes were unique, so they continued to come. The monthly new product fair is indeed a big gimmick, but it is too frequent, and it is really a bit simple to only taste new dishes. The main thing is that other long-established stores in Beijing have begun to follow suit. Second sister, you told me that if you want to dominate the business, you must achieve 'no one I have, no one has me, no one has me, no one has me, I am cheap, and I turn in'. In the past, we were 'no one I have, no one has me', now some people follow suit, and there are a few old shops that are really good, gluttonous sea was originally intended to provide the most exquisite food by the powerful and wealthy gentry, this can not be changed, so it can't be 'cheap', I think it's time for us to start 'turning'. ”

"The so-called 'turn' means 'transformation'. I discussed with Uncle Seven and the others, and we planned to re-improve and combine the 86 dishes and dim sum of the gluttonous sea, and the 'new product exchange' was changed to once a season, and in addition to the new dishes, it would also be paired with the improved dishes and dim sum. In this way, although there are fewer new dishes, the freshness of the guests has increased! Chef Liang said that clothes and jewelry are matched, men and women are matched, and different dishes are paired with different snacks and drinks, and the effect will be very different! Some will destroy each other, and some will complement each other. I tried several pairings, and it was true, and then I asked Chef Liang to help match a few servings, and invited the regular customers to taste it, and they all thought it was good. ”

Speaking of these, the little smugness on Lin Qi's face couldn't be hidden.

Lin Ruo remembered that before she left Bian'an, Lin Qi and Lao Liang were incompatible, and Lao Qi also asked her for advice on how to let the two live in peace; Unexpectedly, in just over four months, when she returned to Bian'an again, Lin Qi had already changed the name of Lao Liang to "Master Liang"! The relationship between the two has not only eased, but they can already cooperate so tacitly!

Sure enough, he should have let go earlier and let Lin Qi try his skills!

Such a result, the good one surprised him.

In particular, he began to think about and understand what she had said to him before, and tried to apply what he had learned.

Lao Qi added: "Not only that, but the third young master also ordered someone to improve the 'New Year Cake'. ”

"Oh? How to change? ”

"The original 'New Year's Cake' was accompanied by a small amount of Tusu wine. The third young master ordered people to configure Tusu wine with different proportions and set different prices, the stronger the Tusu wine, the higher the price. The most expensive 'Sui Jie Cake' does not contain Tusu wine, but ah, the wheat grains to be ground into powder are soaked in the wine in advance, and the wheat is soaked in the flavor of the wine, and then it is made into 'Sui Jie Cake'. Although the price is double that of last year's 'New Year's Cake', the supply exceeds demand! Mr. Chen of the Hanlin Academy was recently asked by his wife to quit drinking, and secretly ordered someone to buy several boxes to satisfy his hunger! ”

"New Year's Cake" was made by Lin Ruo last year. The name comes from Wang Anshi's "one year old in the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu", of course, people at this time do not know who Wang Anshi is. Therefore, the pastry is accompanied by a small amount of Tusu wine.

Moreover, the ancients originally had the habit of "drinking Tusu at the end of the year", because Tusu wine has the effect of warding off evil spirits and preventing diseases, which means that you can be healthy and safe next year.

Lin Qi had a good idea, but Li Yan remembered that Lin Ruo had stolen wine and drank when he was a child, and asked Lin Qi if he had thought of it from this.

Looking at Lin Qi and smiling, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Lin Ruo's face: This Li Yan, why does she remember the troubles of her childhood so well!

Lin Ruo diverted from this embarrassing topic and continued to ask Lin Qi: "Didn't you tell me in the letter that Mr. Cui had written "The Legend of the White Snake"? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Lin Qi was quite excited: "It's finished writing, it's done, it's good!" I also specially invited a storyteller to tell me according to the book, obviously I already knew what was going on, but when I heard 'sacrificing my life to steal fairy grass' and 'water flooding Jinshan Temple', I still cried uncontrollably......"
