Chapter 2: The soup house opens
It is not an exaggeration to say that you are really busy.
A room was already full of medicinal herbs, so Yuan Ying brought the little name next to him and began to prepare to teach him how to make the ingredient package.
"Look carefully, listen carefully, ask if you don't understand, be sure to remember each kind of material package clearly, and don't make a mistake. I'm not here anymore, and it's up to you to hold yourself up. I come once a year at most. In the future, if there is any new ingredient for the soup, I will write to you, and after reading and remembering it, I will destroy it, and I will never reveal it, and you may not teach it to others without my permission, but you can remember my words. Before starting the ingredient package again, Qiao Xi said a call to Yuan Ying, the purpose was very simple, that is, to let him always remember what he should do and what he should not do.
"Yes, girl."
"Well, I'll teach you now, it's not very difficult, the first thing we want to match is the duck soup with northern apricot ginseng, its ingredients are two coins of northern apricots, six coins of codonopsis, six coins of rehmannia rehmannia, two coins of Sichuan fritillary, and two slices of ginger. North apricot, also known as bitter almond, has the effect of phlegm, antitussive, before eating with hot water to remove clothes, but also can remove a little bitterness, and then with a good duck, with a simmer for an hour and a half, this soup is successful. Codonopsis ginseng has a sweet and flat taste, moist quality, not dry or greasy, has the function of strengthening the spleen, invigorating qi and generating Jin, and can nourish the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs and generate Jin, nourish the stomach and yin without dampness, and moisten the lungs without being cold. Rehmannia is sweet and slightly warm, soft and moist, and has the function of nourishing kidney yin and quenching thirst. Combined with Codonopsis, it strengthens the spleen and nourishes the kidneys, and the source of essence is sufficient, so that the lung dryness can be cured. The duck has a sweet and salty taste, and its function is to nourish yin. Ginger is pungent and warm, which can strengthen the stomach and remove the fish. In summer, people are prone to fire, and this soup is the most suitable for summer. Remember this? Qiao Xi explained all the attributes of this soup, so he turned his head and asked Yuan Ying if he had memorized it.
"Girl, I've already written it down, can you let me match it myself." He remembered most of it, but he felt that trying to match it would strengthen his memory.
"Absolutely." This is the best, by doing it yourself, you can remember it more, after all, there is only this one soup now, and there are eleven or twelve waiting for him in the follow-up, just watching, not doing it, there are more things are only afraid that it will be chaotic, just the ingredients in this soup can also be used in other soups, but the difference between more and less amounts.
With Qiao Xi's permission, Yuan Ying began to configure it by himself, and it must have been a rush at first, and the amount was a bit of a way out, but overall it was still good.
"Girl, is it a failure?" Looking at the material bag he prepared and the girl's match, this is far from the same.
"I can't say that I failed, it's just a little messy, the amount is a little lacking, in fact, it's very simple, there will be no problem if you configure it in order, the duck soup of the northern apricot ginseng, the northern apricot is in the first, then the ginseng is the second, and so on will it be much smoother, and there will be no signs of chaos." Qiao Xi patiently taught him how to use the convenient way to mix the packets.
"yes, why didn't you think of it?" Isn't it, the name of the soup has already told me how to match it, and I am still there to make trouble for myself, and it will be clear at a glance if I go down in order, how can there be a chaotic scene.
"Don't rush and take your time, you can master everything before I leave." There are a lot of things, and it is not easy to write them all down at once, she is not so harsh, she has to let him remember it immediately, there is still time.
"It's a girl. I'll try. Yuan Ying's expression was very serious.
"Then I'll mix the ingredients of the next nine soup ingredients one by one, you remember them one by one, it doesn't matter if you can't remember them, you can come and ask me at any time." You can't eat a big fat person in one breath, and you have to do things step by step.
"Yes."
In the next time, Qiao Xi was ingredient on the side, Yuan Ying was watching carefully, and muttered a sentence or two from time to time, in general, the results of the day were still gratifying.
For the next three days, Yuan Ying spent every day in this room, from unskilled to skilled, and if he didn't understand, he would ask Qiao Xi as soon as he couldn't figure out.
In three days, Yuan Ying also impressed Qiao Xi, she was a person who was suitable for this path, although she still owed so much fire, but she also met her requirements.
In the past three days, Qiao Xi will use the soup prepared by Yuan Ying to make soup, so that everyone in the house will shout and make people linger, and the source of power every day is Qiao Xi's delicious soup.
Qiao Xi's soup ingredients, some of the ingredients in it are more expensive, some are cheaper, the most important thing is that she considers that the people who come to drink the soup are not necessarily well-off at home, and there are also some ordinary people.
Whether her soup is high or low, the only purpose is to play a good role in health preservation, as long as it has an effect, how can it not be popular.
Seeing that Yuan Ying was already ready, Qiao Xi decided to open in advance.
In Qiao's Liang Tang Restaurant, everyone is already gearing up to do a big job.
"Rong Li, each of you will take one of you to be responsible for a row of casseroles, and each of you will do your own thing, and after an hour, we will officially open." The guys at the soup house have also been recruited, and today is their first day of work, and they are worried that they will be in a hurry, so everyone has one person, so it can also be ensured in case.
The old soup had already been boiled yesterday evening, and after boiling, charcoal was added to the stove before going back.
Charcoal is not as easy as firewood to burn in a while, and there is no safety concealment, which will not cause fires.
Instead, most of the houses here are made of wood, so the ancient fire prevention was very strict.
"Yes, girl." The group spoke in unison.
After almost a quarter of an hour of busy work, there is only a moment left before the opening of the soup restaurant.
There are long firecrackers hanging on both sides of the gate, and it is very festive to look at, except for the people who take care of the casserole, the other people have wiped all the tables and chairs again, and then straightened them one by one.
Qiao Xi and Yuan Ying used small bowls to serve bowls of soup and waited for the guests to eat later.
After everything was ready, Qiao Xi walked to the gate and instructed Jun Lichen to light the firecrackers.
With the crackling sound of firecrackers, Qiao's Liang Tang Restaurant officially opened.
It was early in the morning, so there weren't many people on the street, but there were many people who were attracted by the sound of firecrackers.
"What kind of shop is this?" Someone questioned it.
"I don't know, I've only been here for a short time, but it should be open today."
"Alas, do you smell a scent, it's so fragrant."
"Why didn't I smell it, I didn't know what it was selling, why was it so fragrant. The saliva is about to fall. ”
"You glutton, if you want to eat, go in and have a look, maybe it's something good." The man's friend poked him in the elbow, he didn't have any hobbies, he liked to eat, and he couldn't walk when he smelled the aroma.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, on the first day of the opening of our Qiao's Liang Soup Restaurant, you are welcome to come and taste it. Our shop sells soups, all kinds of soups, taste them and take a look, it's definitely worth the trip. ”
"Are you the shopkeeper of this shop? Is this soup really that good? ”
"Our soup is good for the body, the weather is gradually getting colder, drink some warm soup to warm up, and I am not afraid of cold in winter."
"It's just a soup, and this is important? Blow it! ”
"Whether it's blown or not, you'll know if you've drunk it, our soup has a lot of medicinal herbs added to it, and this is the only one in Nanhe City. You can eat and take away, but you need to pay a deposit if you take it away, remember to return the jar next time, and the deposit will be refunded. ”
"Oh, if you put the herbs, then I really want to taste this soup." After speaking, he strode into the soup house.
"All customers who enter the store today will be half price, and there will be three days after this opportunity, and the original price will be restored after three days."
Half price, this price made the people who were already excited no longer hesitate, and moved into the soup house one after another.
But there are also those who dare not try it easily, so as not to be embarrassed to go in. It's okay to ask first and then take action. "Shopkeeper, how do you sell your soup?"
Yuan Ying was impressed by the girl's foresight at this time, no wonder he would set such a low price, which was taken into account in all aspects, not only to satisfy the wealthy, but also to allow ordinary people to try it.
"The price of our soup here is varied, like soup stewed with chicken, a can sells for 30 yuan, and the cheapest one is only 5 or 6 yuan." The cost of a chicken plus accessories is about 50 yuan, and the chicken soup can be boiled into a big pot, which is definitely super profitable. OK
"What? The soup stewed with chicken only sells for 30 wen, and I'm afraid that the ingredients for this soup are not good. After listening to the price Yuan Ying said, the man once suspected that the thing was not good, otherwise how could it be sold so cheaply.
"You can rest assured that our ingredients are the freshest, and if you feel that the ingredients are not good after drinking, we will unconditionally compensate twice." Yuan Ying's words are very confident, and he is not worried that the guests will be dissatisfied at all.
Seeing this, the man decided to buy a bowl to taste, didn't he just say that he felt that the ingredients were not good and would be compensated twice, he dared to say that he didn't dare to try anything, "That's it, I'll go in and buy a can to try it." Can I try a bowl of that first? If it tastes good, pack the rest and take it home for the elderly and children at home to taste. The man walked a few steps and then stopped to ask Yuanying.
"Yes, yes, just tell the guys inside if you have any requirements."
"That's it, I'll go in and buy a can to try it. Can I try a bowl of that first? If it tastes good, pack the rest and take it home for the elderly and children at home to taste. The man walked a few steps and then stopped to ask Yuanying.
"Yes, yes, just tell the guys inside if you have any requirements."
"Girl, there's another guest." Yuan Ying stood outside and shouted inside.
Qiao Xi is well prepared today, most of the guests still tend to make chicken soup, and the most she makes today is also chicken soup, and when she saw another guest coming in, she immediately brought a bowl of chicken soup to the guest, "How about you taste it first?" ”
The uncle who entered the store first looked at the decoration of the store, then sat down on the seat, and soon a bowl of soup was brought to him, just smelling the taste is indeed very good, and the soup base is very clear, so he picked up the spoon, spooned a spoonful and blew, and sent it to the mouth to taste it slowly.
"Well, this soup does taste good, fragrant and delicious." At the end of the discussion, the uncle drank the soup in a big gulp and sent it to his mouth desperately, worried that someone would rob him.
After drinking the soup, he couldn't get enough of it, "Little girl, please pack me a can and take it home for the family to taste." ”
"Okay, wait a minute." Qiao Xi glanced at Rong Li.
If someone starts up, everyone else will follow suit, you have a can, I have to pack a can and take it home for the family to taste.
Ushering in the send-off, word of mouth spreads, and the number of people queuing outside has also increased.
Think about it, walking down the street and seeing a lot of people with a crockpot in their hands, you can't help but be curious? The answer is definitely impossible, so although the beautiful soup restaurant has only opened on the first day, this popularity is really not light, and everyone who has drunk it has given a thumbs up, this soup is worth trying.
By noon, the soup in the store was already selling.
"Girl, the soup is not enough, there are still a lot of people queuing up outside, can it be sold today?" Rong Li glanced at the queue outside and expressed his worries.
There are really a lot of people in line, and if there is nothing to sell to others, it is not in vain to delay other people's time.
"Calm, I didn't learn from your master. Have you ever seen a girl do something you're not sure about? Qiao Xi glanced at Rong Li, the questions he could think of, she didn't think about it, she had already prepared it, there was soup prepared in advance in the utility room, just need to process it.
Rong Li was reprimanded by Qiao Xi, lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.
"Just go and take the things out of the utility room, put them on the stove and stew them, and when you sell them out, you will just pick them up."
"Yes, I'll go." Before leaving, Rong Li also arrested Liu Hao and Yu Min together.
When the amount of reserves came up, Qiao Xi roughly estimated how much he could sell, and asked Yuan Ying to block all the people behind him, telling the guests that today's soup had been sold out, and he wanted to drink it in time for tomorrow.
I was busy until the middle of the day, and all the soup in the shop was sold.
With a wave of his hand, Qiao Xi took back today's profits, left the guy, and went home after finishing his work, and the salary was the same.
Every guy has time to work, eight hours a day, and today has not yet arrived, they will definitely worry about deducting wages, hearing Qiao Xi say that, a heart has long been suspended, and when they hear that the salary is still the same, their hearts fall back into their stomachs, one high and one low scared to death.
When he got home, Qiao Xi poured all the money in the two large jars on the table, and let the people present occupy a place and prepare to count the money, "Okay, start counting the money." ”
This is not the first time that this kind of operation has been made, Qiao Xi has been used to it, but Yuan Ying has never experienced it, his eyes are like seeing a ghost, his eyes are full of incredulity, just in front of everyone, he is not afraid that someone will make it bad.
Seeing their fast movements, they knew that it was not the first time they had done this, they had already started it, and they couldn't just watch him do it alone, so they quickly integrated into the large army of counting money.
By the time the count was finished, it was already time for a cup of tea.
"Come on, report the numbers one by one. Rongli, it starts with you. After Qiao Xi wrote down his numbers, he pointed to Rong Li and asked him to start counting.
"I'm here for one thousand and two hundred and eighteen." Rong Li said.
He was followed by Yu Min, "My Eight Hundred and Sixteen Wen." ”
"Nine hundred and ten."
"Seven hundred and eighty-four texts."
"One thousand and one articles."
"Eight hundred and eighty-three texts."
~~~~
~~~~
After the numbers were counted, the final number came out, "a total of 10,336 texts." ”
"Girl, that's a little little!" Rong Li said with a sigh on his face, he earned ten taels after working for a day, which is really pitiful compared to other shops.
Qiao Xi kicked it directly, "What is less, you don't want to think that the soup sold today is half price, and it is all a cheap soup, it would be good to have ten taels of silver." "This guy is not small, and he doesn't want to think about what she sells, he just sells soup, and she is very satisfied with such a harvest.
At least this first step has been successful, and a few expensive ones will be slowly launched in the future, and there is no worry about no one buying them.
"Girl, light, it hurts." Rong Li hugged his leg and looked at Qiao Xi with an aggrieved face, when did the girl also like to use violence, that kick was very real.
"It's right to hurt, let you remember it longer."
"Yes, girl." Rong Li moved closer to Yu Min and said weakly.
"Yuan Ying, tell me how you feel." Today, he specially asked him to stand outside to greet the guests, and his feelings are the most real.
"Busy, very busy, I don't have a chance to breathe at the end of the day, and our soup is very popular, and word of mouth is not worried about running out of business. Although there are only ten taels of income today, and the deduction cost may be less, most of the people who come today are only a little richer among ordinary people, and the real rich people have not yet come. If the soup is really good, rich people won't care about that money, usually a restaurant will cost as little as four or five taels, and a bowl of soup will not cost a tael no matter how expensive it is. The most important rich people have a good face and a good taste, as long as they feel that they are worth the money, they will be willing to pay for it. ”
"Look at the people, look at you again, learn a little, and when your shop opens in the future, I want to see if you can make more." Qiao Xi didn't forget to take Rong Li's lecture again.
"Yes, yes, girl, I will learn the lesson of this time, I will never embarrass you, and I will definitely make you a lot of money." Rong Li looked like he had learned a lesson seriously, but he deliberately bit the three words of making a lot of money very hard, so angry that Qiao Xi directly had a foot, this time it didn't work, he took precautions and escaped a catastrophe.
