The sunlight was already slanting, and it was a little warm on the two of them. Ling Xi didn't continue, got up and said, "Senior brother, why don't you go with me to have a look?" Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I say it, you will laugh at me. ”

The two of them performed light work, and in a few jumps they arrived at the coal mine on the edge of the town, and at this moment it was already evening, and the workers had already finished work, and were washing their hands and faces in groups in the canal next to them.

"Senior brother, you see, these people are the largest labor force in the town. Basically, every family has a livelihood here, and I saw that there are 100 workers. I just went down to inquire, and they can earn seventy or eighty yuan a day, although it is hard, but it is also stable. You look at the intersection of these two streets, most of them are inhabited, there are not a few storefronts, and a few sell things that are some daily oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Lingxi pointed to the scattered storefronts and said.

"There are a lot of people living here, several streets away, but there are no restaurants here. Of course, ordinary people also know that they are poor! What a restaurant! Make some hard-earned money, and I can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it. But what if our stuff is cheap? It's about the same as how much they would have to pay for their own meals at home? Isn't there more options for them? It also improves their lives. ”

"Lingxi, have you calculated the cost?" Yun Hao asked with a rare seriousness.

Lingxi was a programmer in his previous life, and nothing else works, but he is very logical in doing things. I only heard her say: "I asked Xiaoya before about the price of vegetables and meat in the vegetable market. For example, now that it is almost winter, there are few fresh vegetables, so they will be more expensive, three or four dollars a catty, and vegetables in other seasons are extremely cheap, because generally the family will grow some by themselves. The price of meat varies, that is, pork is more expensive, ten wen to get a catty, fish also needs five wen, and alternative game depends on the situation. Lingxi's mind was spinning fast, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

"I can't finish talking for a while, senior brother, can you invite me to the town restaurant for a meal?" Lingxi touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry too, this tea doesn't fill my stomach." ”

Yun Hao naturally agreed, and the two came to the largest restaurant in town. When the door greeted Xiao Er, he stepped forward to greet Yun Hao enthusiastically, nodded and asked the guest officer what he wanted? Yun Hao didn't look at him, just looked at Ling Xi and said, "Just order it." Lingxi only ordered mapo tofu, garlic and white meat, fried vegetables, and mushroom soup, three dishes and one soup, just a few home-cooked dishes, and finally ordered a pot of wine for the two. The shopkeeper looked down on Lingxi's appearance, as if she had done something that couldn't be put on the table. It's just that when he saw Yun Hao's cold face, he didn't dare to make a mistake. Lingxi didn't care, he had received a lot more white eyes in his previous life than this.

When eating, he didn't gossip, Lingxi said that he was hungry, but he was not in a hurry to eat, he just kept staring at the door, and he ate a meal for half an hour. In the end, he called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and actually asked for half a tael of silver.

The two walked slowly on the street, and Lingxi said: "It's so expensive, no wonder it takes a few tables of guests to enter the door in half a day, they are slaughtering one by one!" Where do ordinary people consume? ”

Yun Hao responded: "Today's house is the best, if it weren't for the color I was wearing, then Xiao Er might not be waiting to see us!" ”

"How?" Ling Xiqi said: "How can anyone open the door to do business and pick guests." I didn't wear tattered clothes like a beggar! Besides, the customer is on... It's a bodhisattva! ”

He looked down at his clothes again, a simple white silk dress, and only a jasper hairpin was pinned to his head. It's a little vegetarian, but it's not bad!

"I've inquired about this shop before, and local businessmen and officials invite them every New Year's holiday, and they have their own connections and business relationships. It's not the people's business, so it's naturally more expensive. ”

Ling Xi blurted out after listening: "It's not good to launder money!" After saying that, he immediately regretted it, and looked at Yun Hao again.

Yun Hao looked down at Ling Xi and said, "How do you still know this, it's really a trip to go out, and you've seen a lot!" ”

Ling Xi was a little panicked in his heart, so he had to say curtly: "I just heard Xiaoxian say that some officials and businessmen collude to launder money by relying on some façade businesses, and I don't know the specifics, oops!" Brother, do you still want to listen to me! ”

Yun Hao smiled: "You say, you say." ”

"I want to open our shop next to the coal mine, where the rent must be cheaper, let's rent two shops and get through. There are more than a dozen tables inside. Hehe, brother, don't be scared when I say it, I want to put all the dishes in the back kitchen in the store, let's find a carpenter to make a few shelves, and find someone to weave a few dozen bamboo baskets. Fresh vegetables and meats are cleaned up every day, cut and divided, and then sorted into baskets. Every time a guest comes to eat, it is very simple, pay when you enter the door, take a plate, take whatever you want, vegetables do not count, no matter how much you eat, the meat is limited to one plate, the bottom of the pot is free, don't be afraid that they can't eat enough, we also serve noodles and steamed buns! The price is calculated according to the capita, fifteen cents, if there are children, they will only charge eight cents, and children will naturally not count. What does the senior brother think? Ling Xi was a little apprehensive after speaking, after all, the idea of engaging in this self-service hot pot was really a bit bold.

Yun Hao didn't speak for a while, just stopped and didn't leave, looking at Lingxi quietly, Lingxi was suddenly a little scared. I'm afraid that the senior brother will see what clues, and I regret a little why such a fresh moth came out. The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak, and quieted down.

Lingxi didn't know that when she and her master were in Mingyang City for disaster relief, the land contract system she proposed had already impressed Yun Hao. That day, when Zhen Jin and Bai Yin told him about this, he didn't even believe it, but of course Zhen Jin Yin wouldn't lie to him.

So when Ling Xi proposed the idea of a buffet at this moment, Yun Hao's sense of strangeness in his heart was actually not very strong. He sighed in his heart that maybe Lingxi was the real business genius, but she had never tried it.

Yun Hao has been praised by people since he started business, and he is a white boy who is exquisite, and he is anxious to do business, think about what people think, and sell what people need. But this was all thanks to his strong information network and cargo reserves on the merchant ships of the two countries. For a business like Lingxi that starts from the lowest level of society, he really has no experience, let alone a self-help model that he has never heard of.

But after all, he has been immersed in the mall for a long time, and he was interested when he heard it. After a while, Yun Hao laughed loudly: "My junior sister really has a delicate heart, but I am too worried, I think this thing is feasible." Your pricing can also be, fifteen wen, it looks inconspicuous, very little, but, this model, after all, the cost is much less, the chef's salary is high, we don't even need a chef, find a few people to sign a confidentiality agreement, fry this hot pot ingredient, haha, the guest himself is the chef, very interesting! Moreover, the people who eat this hot pot are always in groups, how lonely it is to eat alone, and there are many people at one table, so it is very good. ”

Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Not only that, I also want to invite the women in the neighborhood to come over as helpers, so that they can also make some money, and they can also take care of their stomachs, they can also grow vegetables for us, or hunt game, we also collect, anyway, I didn't think that opening this store can make a lot of money, as long as it can be tricky and long-term, slowly, I can make some money." Senior brother, am I not suitable for business and charity if I have such thoughts? ”

"Hahahaha, how could it be, Lingxi opened my eyes today. Now that it has been decided, it is not early, let's go back, and come back to pick the façade another day, not in a hurry. ”

The two of them returned at night, and the coachman was still waiting there, which also impressed Lingxi.
