Chapter 429: Fighting wits and talking about cooperation
"Well, as long as I don't fight, I won't speak." Lin Zheng said with a serious face.
"Alright, let's go." Du Mei was very satisfied with his answer, and walked away.
"Brother Zheng, are you stupid to deliver food, if you can't do it, let me go!" Lin Dai was so anxious that he grabbed the corner of Lin Zheng's clothes and complained in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure, and others don't want to hurt the owner for half a point!" Lin Zheng grinned at him, looking confident.
"Go ahead, don't let the owner get hot." Dong Chang saw that Du Mei had already walked under the shade of the tree, and turned his head to interrupt the two brothers.
According to Du Mei's instructions, Lin Zheng drove the carriage to the door of the drunken fairy building first, this is not a meal, the two guys at the door are sprinkling and sweeping, as soon as they saw Du Mei's carriage, the two were stunned for a moment, Mei Ji's takeaway is hot in the city, there is almost no guy who doesn't recognize Mei Ji's carriage, they glanced at each other, one dropped the sprinkling basin and ran in quickly, and the other came up with a broom.
Du Mei got down from the carriage and met the vigilant eyes of the guy, she smiled and said, "Little brother, is the shopkeeper Qiao here?" ”
"What are you looking for from our shopkeeper?" The guy pinched the broom and said defensively.
"That's it." Lin Zheng waved his hand and pushed the guy to the side.
Don't think that if your business is good, you can go to the Drunken Immortal Building to make trouble! Not to be outdone, the man reached out to stop them.
"Who is vexatious? Our proprietor is kind enough to talk to your shopkeeper about the deal, what's the matter, I have to tell you a janitor about being ugly? Lin Zheng was tall and burly, and he grabbed the man's collar.
"Lin Zheng, what did you say in the restaurant!" Du Mei frowned, he had good intentions, but now he seems to have come to the door to make trouble.
"The owner, he is clearly the king of Hades, the little ghost is difficult, and he is troublesome to us!" Lin Zheng glared at the guy.
"In Mei Ji's eyes, I am a Hades?" A majestic voice came from the doorway.
Qiao Shouzheng is about fifty years old, thin and tall, full of white hair, longevity eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a few gray beards under his chin.
"Shopkeeper Qiao, don't blame, my guy has always been open-mouthed, and he still looks at Haihan." Du Mei greeted him with a smile and saluted.
"The big shopkeeper came to the door, what advice do you have? Our two families have always been well water does not interfere with river water, each doing their own business, and now, Mei Ji is too busy to take out, I don't think you have time to talk to me. The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Qiao Shouzheng relied on his old age and did not return the salute, only touched his beard and asked quietly.
"Shopkeeper Qiao, do you have to block the door and talk to me? This shouldn't be the hospitality of the Drunken Immortal Building. Du Mei didn't care, and said with a smile.
Qiao Shouzheng held his breath in his heart, because of the opening of Mei Ji, the young owner of the loser made a ridiculous gambling contract out of nowhere, and forced the drunken fairy building not to entertain guests, and drove the guests to Mei Ji for dinner.
He didn't care about it, Song Shaohuai was used to messing around, usually it was just three or two days of freshness, and it would be over after that, but he didn't expect that a newly opened restaurant, a fledgling yellow-haired girl, would actually make a whole table of spicy, sour, sour, and delicious food with a whole table of spicy, sour and fresh, color, flavor and shape, and suddenly kept the guests, and the drunken fairy building was closed for more than two months!
He went to beg Lao Taijun more than once, but he was suppressed by Song Shaohuai again and again, and finally he became seriously ill, and later heard that the shopkeeper of Mei Ji was drunk
Xianlou set up a duck banquet to entertain several mysterious people, and only then did the gambling contract be terminated, and the drunken immortal building then reopened.
I made other people's dishes in my own restaurant, and I was very embarrassed by anyone, but the owner was not annoyed, and seemed to be very happy, he was a shopkeeper to say nothing, but the anger in his heart was not smooth, and Du Mei was here at this time, how could he have a good face to show her!
"Although the business of Zuixianlou is not as good as Mei's memory, it is a century-old shop, and it is too busy inside and out to be idle, and there is really nowhere to entertain the big shopkeeper, if you have something to say, please say it directly." Although Qiao Shouzheng said politely, he didn't let his body go at all.
"In that case, let's take a look at this." Du Mei took out the order from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Shouzheng.
"What does that mean!" Qiao Shouzheng saw the crab roe soup dumplings on the menu, and his heart was shocked and angry, this girl is really arrogant, does she want to make crab roe soup dumplings, and dare to come to the door, that confused young master won't ask him to tell him the soup dumpling recipe, right?
"Shopkeeper Qiao, you have also seen that the diners who ordered takeout not only ordered our vegetarian stir-fry, but also ordered the famous spot of Zuixian Building." Du Mei pointed to the list and glanced at Qiao Shouzheng's trembling beard.
"That's the diners have a vision, the hundred-year-old foundation of the Drunken Immortal Building, how can it be a waste of fame!" Qiao Shou did not move on his face, and said proudly.
"Shopkeeper Qiao is not bad at all, but no matter how good the food is, it can't be delivered to the diners, so it can only be a myth of Wangmei quenching thirst." Du Mei said with regret.
"I can't deliver it, can't you do it too!" Qiao Shouzheng snorted coldly.
Crab roe soup dumplings have been carefully developed by several generations of pastry chefs in Zuixianlou, and the filling has long become a secret recipe.
"Today, I came to find Shopkeeper Qiao, just to make the dishes of Zuixianlou be made, delivered, and earned!" Du Mei was not stunned by the cold on his face, and said with confidence.
"What do you mean by that?" Qiao Shouzheng was confused all of a sudden, this girl didn't come to snatch the secret recipe, but what kind of medicine was she selling in her gourd?
"Let's go in and talk, I'm so dizzy from the sun that I can't remember it for a while." Du Mei sold a pass, pretended to be physically exhausted, and stroked his forehead, although it was still morning, but the hot sun was merciless, and Du Mei's back was already wet.
"Come in, please." Qiao Shouzheng knew that Du Mei was cheating, but he wanted to know the result too much, so he had to staggered and let her in, turned around and said to the guy again, "Go and pour a cup of herbal tea for the big shopkeeper to relieve the heat." ”
"Actually, it's very simple, as long as Zuixianlou agrees to join Mei Ji takeaway, we will print your store sign on the takeaway list, diners can order any dish in Zuixianlou at will, and then we will have Mei Ji's carriage to help you deliver food, Shopkeeper Qiao, what do you think of this idea?" Du Mei sat down at the table and slowly drank a cup of herbal tea before slowly speaking.
"Speaking of which, this is indeed a good way, but the sky will not drop pies for no reason, you are tired of yourself out of thin air, what kind of money do you want to make?" Qiao Shouzheng has been a shopkeeper for decades, and he has seen so many storms, he will not only see the positive side, but will first think about what the hidden part is.
"Talking about business with Shopkeeper Qiao is refreshing, I don't have any other ideas, Mei Ji let Zuixianlou take a ride, it is to see the diners' love for your dishes, I don't want much, fifty wen a trip." Du Mei held the cup in one hand and stretched out his other hand, shaking his five fingers open.
"Fifty wen? Why don't you grab it! "Joe is upright
I had to blow my beard and stare at it.
"Is fifty a lot of money? I don't see that there are many diners who can use the takeaway team to order food, how can they be ordinary people, they must order the signature dishes of Zuixianlou, your drawer of crab roe soup dumplings will sell for 100 Wen, and the price of other dishes is higher.
Besides, it's not easy for me to earn your fifty yuan, if something goes wrong halfway, I will not only lose diners, ruin the reputation of takeaway, but also lose your extra money for dishes, now think about it, fifty yuan is too little. Du Mei talked eloquently, not afraid of him being angry at all, at this time, the more angry he was, the more he cared.
"In this way, Mei Ji is also taking risks for Zuixianlou." Qiao Shouzheng smiled and said, "You can do takeout, why can't I do it." ”
"I'm not boasting about this, I'm afraid you really won't be able to do it for a while!" Du Mei clasped his hands, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and he said calmly.
In this Gangneung City, it is probably impossible to find laborers who are more familiar with the various prefectures and courtyards and have a lower price than Xiao Li. Coupled with the horse-drawn carriage manpower for food delivery, the free drinks, and the dots of every concierge, everything is a money-burning one, if Mei Ji did not have the support of orders for rapid distribution, the takeaway of the restaurant would have been unable to do it for a long time.
"You lower it a little more, and I'll discuss it with the owner." It's really angry to run a takeaway by himself, and Qiao Shouzheng is not unmoved by Mei Ji's prosperity, but he still wants to further suppress the price.
"Fifty wen is not less, I can print the dishes of Zuixianlou on the blank space of the order list at most." Du Mei refers to the single course of the meal.
"There's no place for this, huh?" Qiao Shouzheng flipped through the menu and frowned.
"What's this, I'm leaving you, I'm going to go somewhere else, and I'll just print another page when I save a few more dishes, but what's it." Du Mei paused, glanced at Qiao Shouzheng, and continued slowly, "However, whoever sells takeaway has a high salary, and the dishes will be printed more, and if you pay fifty Wen, there will naturally be fifty seats for dishes." ”
Qiao Shouzheng gritted her teeth, this girl made money, she was ruthless, there were no more than fifty dishes in the Drunken Immortal Building, what would she use to decide which one was on and which one was not? Such a choice is simply killing him!
"That's it, I'll give you an extra sum of money, and you can print all the dishes in the Drunken Immortal Building!" For the first time, Qiao Shouzheng felt that he had lost to a little girl, and he was so defeated that he had no power to fight back!
"How much can you give me at once? One hundred taels or one thousand taels? It's better to do this, today is the first day of the seventh month, this month tentatively set fifty dishes, I will reprint every month in the future, I don't want more, I just want a profit from the takeaway of the drunken fairy building, I will decide the number of your dishes according to the amount of profit, is this more reasonable? lest you think I'm lying against you. "What Du Mei wants is a source of wealth that will last like living water for a long time.
She is considering letting takeaway slowly move away from restaurants and rely on the takeaway fees paid by these merchants to operate independently, so that under such a bold assumption, takeaway will not be limited to delivering food, but can also purchase anything she wants on her behalf and help deliver it to her door.
"The big shopkeeper doesn't let her eyebrows, and the little old man is served, so she will do as you say." Qiao Shouzheng quickly calculated in his heart, Du Mei's method was far less expensive than paying a sum of money at a time, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Then thank you Shopkeeper Joe, we will have a happy cooperation in the future!" Dumay bent down.
"Little Lao'er still doesn't know anything, take the liberty to ask, if you tell me these things directly, wouldn't it be a lot less tongue-in-cheek?" Qiao Shouzheng twisted his eyebrows, he was just a shopkeeper, Song Shaohuai was horizontal, who would dare not do it!
