Chapter 131: Negotiation (2)
Because not long after breakfast, Ye Feng only ate a piece of jujube cake and a piece of chicken cake. It's not that he doesn't think it's delicious, or that he wants to keep some for Ye and Chen Jixing, but he really can't eat it.
These pastries are big, thick, very filling, and very realistic.
It's a thousand words, and I've already eaten three chicken cakes and a jujube cake. Seeing that she picked up another piece of fat jujube cake and took a bite, Ye Feng said, "Okay, you can't eat it, it's time to accumulate food if you eat it again." Besides, you're so full that you can't eat at noon. ”
Hearing this, Qianyan said, "Do you want to eat here at noon?" Okay, then I'll stop eating this piece. I remembered what you said, the second aunt is coming to pick us up. As he spoke, he burped.
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't cry or laugh a little, this girl just ate too much. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Then, we can only eat this piece, and we will pack the rest and take it back and eat it at night." You sit here, don't go anywhere, my uncle is looking for something about Xiao Er, and he will come up immediately. Okay, don't go anywhere. ”
Seeing Qianyan nodding while eating, Ye Feng went downstairs to find the shopkeeper.
Anyway, this Liuyun Xuan only has this one exit, even if Qianyan can't sit still, if he wants to come out, he has to pass through this hall, and he won't be in the way.
When he came to the lobby, Ye Feng began to look at the layout of the entire lobby.
This is the largest place in the entire Liuyun Xuan, so whether it is the kitchen or the counter, everything is located on the first floor.
Obviously, the person with this layout is a master, although the first floor occupies so many facilities, but it is not messy, in short, the guests will not feel inferior because they eat on the first floor.
Of course, there are some shortcomings, and that is light.
Perhaps because of the anti-theft reasons, the window position on the first floor did not have a window on the wall like in modern times, so customers could see what was going on on the street while eating. In addition, because there is no elevator, it is a big test to serve food from the first floor to the eighth or even ninth floor.
The big shopkeeper of Liuyunxuan is surnamed Zhao, and he is called the shopkeeper Zhao. The shopkeeper is used to being called, and few people know his original name, Zhao Da.
Zhao Da, as his name suggests, is the eldest in the family, and there are Zhao Er, Zhao San, Zhao Si, because the family is poor, Zhao Da came out to do things very early.
Because he is sensitive to numbers, especially when it comes to accounting, he learns almost immediately and rarely makes mistakes. Therefore, Zhao Da, who was still a young man at the time, was discovered by Boss Wang, and after hard work, he successfully became the big shopkeeper, which is a legend in the industry.
Seeing that Ye Feng first stood silently in the lobby and inspected the entire lobby, then observed the guests coming and going, and finally pondered there, Zhao Da's first reaction was that Ye Feng might be a spy sent by a restaurant, and wanted to learn from Liuyunxuan.
To say that the recent business is not good, the competition between the major restaurants is very large. With the light of Fu Wu Niang, they have recently invited a few chefs and developed some new dishes, but they can't let this kid steal the teacher.
But if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, it's an intuition, and it's a kind of literacy. After thinking about it, Zhao Da walked over and said to Ye Feng kindly, "Little brother, what can I do to help you?" If you need anything, you can tell me, I am the shopkeeper of our store. ”
Shopkeeper, it's you who is looking for you, Ye Feng thought in his heart.
So he respectfully said to Zhao Da: "Hello shopkeeper, I really need your help with something." If it's convenient, can you help introduce the owner of your store, I have a deal to discuss with him here. ”
When it came to business, Zhao Daben was no longer kind, and resumed his businesslike appearance and said: "If you want to talk about business, so let's talk to me first." If I think it's good, it's not too late to inform the shopkeeper. ”
Ye Feng knew that he didn't want to waste Boss Wang's time, and he also wanted to hear if there was a need to report first. If what Ye Feng said was not reliable at all, he would not help inform Boss Wang.
Thinking of this, and thinking of his age, Ye Feng didn't care. If you're like this, it's no wonder that people do business.
After thinking about it, he said: "Speaking of which, my nephew is still eating pastries on the second floor, and she is alone, so I don't let it go." , Why don't you go up with me, and we can talk while eating? ”
After thinking about it, Zhao Da then ordered a few words from a young man, and then followed Ye Feng to the second floor, and saw a little girl sitting there obediently eating pastries.
However, the little hand was about to reach for the pastry on the plate, but it seemed to hear footsteps, and when he looked back, he was a little surprised, and immediately turned his head again, and sat down obediently.
It turned out that after Qian Yan finished eating the jujube cake in his hand, he saw that Ye Feng hadn't come back yet, so he wanted to eat another piece of chicken cake. Anyway, Ye Feng is not here, so he will definitely not find out.
I didn't know that I was caught.
Ye Feng just pretended not to know, and began to talk about business with Zhao Da. Zhao Da was afraid that something would happen downstairs, so he refused to sit by the window, so the two stood near the stairs and began to chat.
"Okay, this place can not only take care of your nephew, but also see the place I need to take care of, you can just say what business needs to alarm our owner." Zhao Da asked straight to the point.
To be honest, Ye Feng gave him very complicated feelings, so he was willing to give Ye Feng this opportunity. If you want to change to an ordinary half-size, he won't pay attention to it. Talking about business or something, what does it have to do with children?
Seeing the other party like this, Ye Feng said: "Of course it's a big deal, if you do it according to what I said, it is possible for your Liuyunxuan to surpass Feihe Tower and compete with Lingyunlou for the leading restaurant." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Da said: "Little brother is so ambitious!" It's just that please explain clearly what the deal is, so that I can report to the owner. If it's just some suggestions or something, then I'll just report it. ”
Typical people don't want to let go easily when they don't see the benefits, Ye Feng thought about it, so he stopped selling it and said seriously.
"There is a miraculous food grown in my field called the longevity fruit. It's not that I'm boasting, not to mention Qingshan County, even if it's in the whole country, it's unique. There is nowhere else to find it but my home. ”
"Longevity?"
"Yes, the reason why this food is called longevity fruit is because after eating it, it will make people live longer. In addition, the magic of this food is that it is extremely delicious whether it is fried, boiled, stewed, cooked with other foods, or even boiled porridge on its own......
"It's also very delicious to eat raw, I just ate more than ten pieces yesterday afternoon" Qianyan didn't know when he ran over, next to Ye Feng, and interjected such a sentence.
"Anyway, you go and tell your host, and if he is willing to cooperate, come here and meet me, and we will talk about the details. If the cooperation is successful, I will serve a few new dishes related to this food, which will be delicious and beautiful. Of course, if you're not interested, I'll leave and talk to the owners of other shops. Ye Feng finally added.
At this point, if the shopkeeper is still unwilling to spread the word, or if Boss Wang doesn't come out to meet again, then Ye Feng has no choice.
Zhao Da was very moved when he heard Ye Feng's words, not to mention whether that magical food was really as the two of them said, the new dishes that Ye Feng said were enough to make him excited.
Although Yun Xuan made a lot of money during this period of time relying on Fu Wuniang's fame, this is not a long-term solution after all. After a while, it will be dispersed.
If you want to talk about what a restaurant relies on to attract and retain diners, it is naturally the cuisine, service, and dining environment. Among these three factors, the dish ranks first.
Listening to Ye Feng's words, Zhao Da knew very well in his heart that if he didn't pass on the word again, he was afraid that he would leave the next moment and turn to the arms of Feihe Tower.
It's a pity that he doesn't know where Boss Wang is free, how can he keep Ye Feng and the others? If he really left, it would be his own sin to make Liu Yunxuan miss out on a business.
After thinking about it, Zhao Daben said: "Look at what the little brother said, you said that the ingredients are so wonderful, we Liuyunxuan naturally want to cooperate with you." You and this lovely little sister sit here for a while, and I'll go and pass it on to the owner at once. ”
Finally, he added, "Look at this hour, it will be lunch time in a while." Whether it's pastries or anything else, you can call whatever you want to eat, and you don't want to pay for it. ”
And this kind of good thing?
When Ye Feng heard this, he was happy in his heart, and he didn't say politely to Zhao Da: "Okay, then I'll order the dish." By the way, I have two more relatives coming in a moment, don't you mind? ”
Zhao Daben said: "What's polite or unkind, if you say it's free, it's free." You use it first, and I'll report to the owner. ”
After saying that, he quickly went downstairs.
When he passed by the counter, he pulled over the guy who had just served Ye Feng's nephew and uncle and said, "The two children upstairs, how much silver they spent on pastries just now, all of them will be refunded to them." In addition, no matter what dish they call it for a while, you can do it, it will be free and recorded in my account. ”
The words made the little two confused, but this was Zhao Da's order, and he didn't dare to question it, so he hurriedly went to the guy who helped Zhao Da look at the counter and said it one by one.
The guy hurriedly took out two taels of silver, went to the kitchen again, and waited for Ye Feng and the others to order.
Upstairs, Ye Feng and Qianyan were leaning against the window to watch the crowd coming and going on the street.
Qianyan's interest was very high, this was the first time she had the opportunity to sit on the second floor and look at the outside world through the window, but Ye Feng felt very ordinary. If you use glass windows or even floor-to-ceiling glass, then it is called beautiful.
So, gradually, Ye Feng stopped looking, but sat there and carefully sorted out his thoughts. After a while, Boss Wang will come, he must use concise language to completely impress the other party, cooperate with him, and it is best to sign a contract, so that it will be even better.
Just as Ye Feng was thinking, he heard Qianyan shouting excitedly: "Second aunt, second aunt, second aunt, I'm here, we're on top." ”
Ye Feng hurriedly turned his head to take a look, wasn't it Chen Qianshan and Second Sister Ye below.
The two of them were looking around downstairs, wondering why they couldn't see anyone when they heard the voice of a thousand words. In the end, it was Chen Qianshan who looked up, and only then did he discover Qianyan.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng went downstairs with Qianyan, anyway, Chen Qianshan and his wife must not have eaten yet, and this meal is free, so naturally they have to invite them up.
When they arrived at the counter, when the guy saw Ye Feng and the others coming, he thought they were ordering food, and hurriedly and respectfully asked the two of them what they wanted to eat.
Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "Don't be busy ordering, just serve some of the store's best pastries and snacks first." ”
After speaking, he went out to find Chen Qianshan.
Now Ye Feng and Qianyan are brushing their faces, and they are invincible everywhere they go, even Chen Qianshan's oxcart was taken away by the shopkeeper, saying that they were taken to the backyard to feed water and grass.
The two of them followed Ye Feng to the second floor in a daze, stayed until they sat down, and when the young men left, Ye Ermei said, "What the hell are you doing?" What about my sister? What about my brother-in-law? Oh, I see, they didn't come, you two little ones actually came to eat at such an expensive place! These pastries, shouldn't they cost a few taels of silver? ”
Ye Feng smiled and said nothing, just because Second Sister Ye is exactly the same as Ye now, she speaks fast and has many questions, so people really don't know how to answer.
Qianyan didn't mind and said, "Second aunt, don't worry, these pastries are worth two taels of silver, and the money has already been given." You taste it, it's really delicious. However, the shopkeeper was going to invite us to lunch, which was free. We called you up to eat together. ”
Seeing Ye Ermei's face in disbelief, Ye Feng said: "What Qianyan said is not wrong at all, we do have a free lunch to eat today." But it's not because of the shopkeeper's kindness, but because I have a deal to negotiate with the owner of this restaurant. ”
As soon as Ye Feng's words were finished, Chen Qianshan immediately believed it.
He had heard Chen Jixing proudly say that Ye Feng was so powerful, but he taught Master Tao a few patterns, fired a hundred flower pots and some small pottery figurines, and didn't spend a penny.
Second Sister Ye was even more convinced, because he sent Father Ye home last night, and he excitedly told Second Sister Ye what happened in the afternoon.
Maybe because of some excitement, what Father Ye said was a little incompatible, but Ye Ermei grasped the point, that is, Ye Feng actually fired five hundred flower pots this time, which were also given away for free.
This made Ye Second Sister feel admired and extremely surprised at the same time, Ye Feng looked younger than Ye Third Sister, how did he do it? Speaking of which, this boy is amazing.
It is inconvenient for women like them to come out and do business.
Compared with Ye Ermei's questioning in her heart, Chen Qianshan was more concerned about what deal Ye Feng wanted to negotiate with the owner of this restaurant. You know, this is Liuyunxuan, some time ago it was said that it was ten taels of silver to drink a pot of tea.
In such a rich and noble place, what does Ye Feng want to talk about to buy and sell people's owners?
Thinking of this, Chen Qianshan asked tentatively: "Brother Ye, can you tell my brother first, what deal are you going to negotiate with the owner?" ”
Hearing Chen Qianshan call himself his younger brother and call himself his brother, Ye Feng was a little discouraged, this Chen Qianshan was originally a generation shorter than Ye Feng, but since he became a relative to Ye Ermei, he became the brother-in-law of Chen Jixing and Ye's family, and naturally became the same generation as Ye Feng.
However, this matter could not be taken into account.
Ye Feng said: "Of course it's a big deal. Do you remember that our family planted a piece of land, about eight or nine points of land, near my house? ”
Ye Ermei has just married, and she is familiar with her own place, but she is not familiar with the Ye family. Chen Qianshan was a native of Chenjia Village, and after thinking about it, he said: "Isn't it the land where some inconspicuous flowers and plants are planted, and now the leaves are starting to yellow?" ”
Ye Feng said: "Exactly." ”
"So what does this deal have to do with that land...... Don't tell me that you can eat those flowers and plants, I don't believe it. ”
Thinking of those flowers and plants, Chen Qianshan and the people in the village have exactly the same idea, it is eight or nine points of land, but Chen Jixing's family is just messing around with Ye Feng like that, planting some unknown flowers and plants.
If you plant wheat or corn, you can eat more or less for a family for a while. If you grow sweet potatoes or potatoes, the yield is even higher.
In short, that piece of land is really wasted.
Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Qianyan said anxiously: "Uncle, that's not some kind of flowers and plants, it's called longevity fruit, you can really eat it." I ate more than 10 sticks yesterday afternoon, and it was very delicious. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qianshan and Second Sister Ye were dumbfounded.
Like the villagers, they thought that it was just flowers and plants planted by Ye Feng, and they could be exchanged for silver after they grew up. However, what they didn't expect was that it was actually something that could be eaten, and it was called longevity?
Ye Feng didn't plan to sell Guanzi anymore, he just happened to practice with Chen Qianshan, so he thought about it and said, "Qianyan is right, that's called longevity." I'm here today to sell half of the longevity fruit to the owner, and use it to make all kinds of new dishes to launch, so that this Liuyun Xuan can come like a cloud, crying and shouting to eat the longevity fruit. ”
"What about the other half?" Chen Qianshan is still quite powerful, and he immediately grasped the key.
Ye Feng said: "The other half is naturally left for seeds, when we planted the longevity fruit, we informed the village chief." Otherwise, how do you think that with these few people in our family, it is possible to stop everyone's curiosity. This half of the seed can be planted on about 10 acres of land, and when the time comes, we will discuss with the village chief to see if there is any public land in the village. If there is nature, it is best to plant it, and when the harvest comes, the whole village will divide the silver according to the number of households. If you don't have it, it's troublesome, and you have to rent land before you can plant it. ”
"Is this a new grain that we have never seen before?" Chen Qianshan asked excitedly. It would be nice if there was new grain, and in the future, every household in Chenjia Village would plant some, and it would be the only one, and it would be worth it.
Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "How much silver does this have to sell for?" ”
I have to say that chatting with someone like Chen Qianshan is to save trouble, Ye Feng didn't say anything, he already thought about pricing.
Actually, Ye Feng really thought about this question carefully.
This year, a total of eight or nine points of land were spent, and 600 catties of peanuts were killed. This is the only one in this time and space, and it is the first time it has been sold, and it has to leave 300 catties for seeding, so it is naturally more expensive to sell.
Chen Qianshan stared at Ye Feng, waiting for him to say the price.
To be honest, he had seen Ye Feng sell a pot of dendrobium for a high price of fifty taels, so he was somewhat mentally prepared. His family's pot of dendrobium is now fostered in the backyard of Chen Jixing's house.
If it weren't for Ye Feng saying that he was still too young and his appearance was not good, he would have taken it to the Crane Year Hall and sold it. Since Dr. Zhang knew that he also had a pot of dendrobium at home, every time he looked at him, his eyes were eager.
Ye Feng didn't know what Chen Qianshan was thinking, and he pondered for a while, and then said, "Just sell it for ten taels of silver a catty." ”
"Then how many catties can we collect this year?" Chen Qianshan asked in a trembling voice. In fact, there is no need for Ye Feng to say it, he also knows in his heart that if the price is so high, the output is naturally not high.
How do you know that Ye Feng said casually: "Six hundred catties, I'm not sure, it's the first time I've planted this thing." ”
What is a thing, this is simply a golden lump Okay, ten taels of silver a catty, Chen Qianshan protested in his heart, and at the same time said excitedly: "Excluding the seeds, there are three hundred catties left, one catty and ten taels of silver, and the three hundred catties are ...... Three thousand taels of silver? ”
"Not so much, we have to get rid of the rest of the field, and we have worked hard for a year, at least we have to try it, it is impossible to sell it all." Ye Feng said seriously.
Chen Qianshan hurriedly said: "According to me, let's not try it, one pound can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and it may not be able to buy it, so why bother." If we want to say that we might as well exchange it for silver, why can't we buy it? ”
In this regard, Ye Ermei nodded approvingly. If you buy a few catties of meat, or even pastries, braised pork or something, it won't cost you ten taels of silver.
Just now she heard that this large plate of pastry platter actually costs two taels of silver, and she almost scolded the two of them for being losers and not knowing how to save. Now that I hear that there is this income, I don't care so much.
However, it was obvious that Qianyan belonged to the same front as Ye Feng, and only heard her say: "No, no!" Last year, my uncle promised me that when the harvest of longevity fruit was abundant, he would use it to cook for me. You say yes, uncle? ”
Ye Feng said: "Of course, what I promised you will definitely do." I know a way to eat it, it's very delicious, I'll make it for you when the time comes. ”
Chen Qianshan had to say a few more words, and the pastries and snacks that Ye Feng had ordered when he just went downstairs came up.
It's just that this time it was not one person who came to serve with a plate, but five people. Seeing this, Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei hurriedly sat upright, but they didn't say a word, which made Ye Feng feel very funny.
Ye Feng took a look, in addition to the pastries that Qianyan had just eaten, there were at least ten different pastries this time. In addition, there is a wide variety of snacks, from cakes to steamed buns to dumplings to some foods that few people can't name at all.
It's pretty nice to put it in this way.
After the two juniors poured a cup of tea for each of them and left, Chen Qianshan asked again: "Are you sure that the delicious food on this table is free?" ”
Ye Feng said: "Sure and sure." ”
"Then you're welcome! Haha, today I will also touch the light of Brother Ye and have a meal in this big restaurant. Haha, it's still free. After speaking, Chen Qianshan picked up a dumpling and ate it.
As he spoke, he touched Second Sister Ye again, "You can eat too!" ”
Hearing this, Ye Ermei took a piece of cake and ate it.
"Well, it tastes good, you guys try the dumplings too. I could eat it, cabbage and pork, but it tasted so good, but I didn't know what to put in it. ”
"Well, it should be the seasoning that is well adjusted. If you can make it and cook some of it, it will definitely be popular. ”
Hearing this, Ye Feng just smiled and didn't speak. This is naturally someone's secret recipe, and it is so easy to taste it.
It's just that the boss of this Lingyun Building doesn't know where he lives, so why hasn't he come to talk to him yet.
