The shop is down, and the next step is to decorate.

"We don't have a lot of savings, so we can't open a small restaurant, so let's make a simple breakfast first." When Chen Youyi chose the shop, she had already thought about it, and the decoration was as simple as possible, as long as it was clean, there were no other requirements.

This investment is not too big, and after ten days, everything was packed up and breakfast was sold.

The multigrain pancakes she sold a few years ago have low cost and novel dishes, which are very suitable for their current state of no money, so they still sell multigrain pancakes.

In order to attract guests, as soon as the breakfast shop opened, several preferential packages were launched, and the colorful signboards were placed at the door, and there was always a fresh picture. After eating once, there was a next one, and gradually there were some repeat customers, and the business stabilized.

"The pancakes alone are too dry to eat, and the guests have reported it several times." After closing the stall on this day, Chen Youyi was checking out, Qin Ziheng summarized the customer feedback collected, and said, "Do we also add some soup to the shop?" I went outside for a walk, and some snack bars sell wontons, just pancakes, which should sell well. ”

Chen Youyi is also thinking about this problem, she only sold pancakes before, mainly because the cost was not enough, but now she can turn it around, and it is time to launch some new products.

Chen Youyi also found that I don't know if it was the result of his experience in the army, or Qin Ziheng's own ability, he had a lot of experience in management. The breakfast shop is well organized by him, and Chen Youyi only needs to concentrate on making pancakes.

"I was just about to discuss with you, I really need to have more tricks." Chen Youyi approved the proposal for small wontons, and also added a new variety.

After hearing this, Qin Ziheng said in surprise: "Fruit porridge? And this kind of thing? It's the first time he's heard that fruit can be used to cook porridge, can it be delicious when cooked?

In the face of this question, Chen Youyi told him with facts. Cooked a bowl for him to taste on the spot, and after eating, Qin Ziheng didn't have any objections.

"The taste is refreshing, with a fruity aroma, but not sweet." Qin Ziheng, who doesn't like sweets, can also eat a bowl, and it won't be a problem to sell it.

Chen Youyi smiled: "Don't say anything else, just this gimmick is enough to give our shop a wave of publicity." As for this sweetness, let's do it now, and when you have money later, you can add sugar and honey, and you can sell it better. ”

Her prediction was right, as soon as the door opened the next day, the weirdness of the fruit porridge was eye-catching, and many people passed by and came in to buy a bowl, and the porridge cooked in advance was swept away.

The sales of small wontons are much less than that of fruit porridge, after all, small wontons can be seen everywhere, and no fruit porridge is eye-catching. It wasn't until more than half a month later, when the novelty passed, and the popularity of fruit porridge gradually subsided, that the sales of small wontons came up, and the two were almost equal.

"Not many were sold today." While Qin Ziheng was cleaning, he watched Chen Youyi keep accounts behind the counter.

Chen Youyi laughed and said: "It was an advertisement before, just to calculate everyone's curiosity, if we really keep selling like this, we will become business wizards." ”

Chen Youyi is not used to abacus, she is still used to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, she also uses the bookkeeping mode commonly used in accounting, which simplifies the account book, which looks clear at a glance and much simpler.

Da Chen Guo's bookkeeping method is very cumbersome, and every transaction is recorded in writing. For example, if it costs two pennies to buy a cabbage, it must be written rigorously, and it costs two pennies to buy a cabbage.

According to this bookkeeping method, Chen Youyi didn't have to work for half a day, just busy keeping accounts.

In order not to make Qin Ziheng suspicious, Chen Youyi could only take care of it, saying that she invented this 'alternative' bookkeeping method herself, and Qin Ziheng did not ask.

"I don't understand these, you can come as much as you think is convenient." Qin Ziheng has never gone to private school, and the few words he knows are all learned from the literate brothers in the team after joining the army, and he memorized them by rote, he actually can't understand what Chen Youyi is writing.

Chen Youyi held the pen and looked up at Qin Ziheng's hands and feet, cleaning the shop cleanly, and going to prepare tomorrow's ingredients, without stopping for a moment.

"After two days of stabilization, I'll teach you to read." Chen Youyi has loved learning since she was a child, and in order to be able to go to school, she almost tried her best, and she can imagine the hardships encountered by being illiterate. If you are sold by someone else, you can still take the deed of sale and count the money for others.

Qin Ziheng's hand carrying the flour paused for a moment, and then quickly replied, "If it doesn't bother you." ”

"No trouble." Chen Youyi hurriedly waved his hand, forgetting for a moment that the brush in his hand was dipped in ink, threw a few small black dots on the account book, and hurriedly wiped it.

She lowered her head, not seeing that Qin Ziheng was also looking at her, showing a little smile.

Business is slowly improving, and everyone in the neighborhood knows that there is a new breakfast shop here, which is clean and delicious, the price is affordable, and there are new things from time to time, and they are willing to try it. Chen Youyi calculated, the previous rent and other costs have been earned, and there is still a little balance.

"If this continues, it won't take half a year to double the business." Chen Youyi was so happy that she locked the cash box. This shop is too small, and the location is not satisfactory, so it can only be regarded as an initial creation, and she originally planned to wait for the money to be earned, so she will find a shop with a better location.

Qin Ziheng still had the attitude of 'you have the final say', and said: "The ingredients have been used up too quickly in the past two days, I will go again tomorrow." ”

"I'd better go." Chen Youyi said: "Now that the quantity of ingredients we buy has expanded and is very stable, the suppliers will be willing to deliver them to their doors, so I will negotiate with them." I'll have to go in for something else, I'll go out and find inspiration, and I'll develop something fresh next month to keep our shop hot! ”

Unconsciously, her wariness of Qin Ziheng dropped a lot, she no longer trembled when she spoke and acted, and sometimes she accidentally brought a modern tone. At first, she would tremble because of her speech, but Qin Ziheng always seemed to be unfazed, and after a long time, Chen Youyi relaxed.

But this is at home, and when she goes outside, Chen Youyi is still measured. Those who do business are human spirits, and if they are not careful, they will be caught and missed.

The negotiation was a success, and as she expected, after the purchase of more ingredients, the grocery seller quickly agreed to deliver the goods. Flour and rice, which are easy to store, can be delivered once every half a month, and as for vegetables and meat, they can only be delivered fresh once a day.

After talking about a very good situation, Chen Youyi walked around the street for a while. She has been in the county seat for a few months, and she really hasn't had a good time walking around here.

This time, she found something shocking.
