Chapter 026: Opening a good business
The next day, Lei Biao and Lin Xia rushed to Qinghou County after breakfast, and arrived at the store first to start preparing things.
Lin Xia suddenly realized last night that he might not be full of just eating vegetables, and he needed some vermicelli potato noodles, and then came over early in the morning to visit the place that sells noodles, this ghost place actually only has ramen noodles, and it sells expensive and expensive, and after asking for a while, he learned that there is no ramen here, these noodles are all lasagna that are rolled into dough and then cut......
Lin Xia really knelt for the craftsmanship of this place, think about the modern Lanzhou ramen everywhere, the ramen master will not break the noodles when they are thin and long, in addition to the ramen noodles and knife cut noodles, etc., how did they get here and cut the noodles? Is this looking down on Lanzhou ramen?
There was no way, Lin Xia had to buy a big bag of flour and start kneading the dough, ready to pull a noodle to sell today.
But...... The craftsmanship is very average...... The noodles were broken in less than four times......
As a southerner, Lin Xia expressed sadness......
Kneaded a large pot of noodles that were not very broken, and put them away, ready to make do with them.
At the end of the day, Zhang San and Li Xi arrived at the store early.
Lin Xia was still very satisfied with this work attitude, so he taught them to string the vegetable meatballs that were packed up yesterday with bamboo skewers.
"This is a red lacquered bamboo skewer skewer meat dish, no red lacquer skewer vegetarian dish, meat dishes two pennies, vegetarian dishes a penny, so it is more convenient for us to calculate the money, when collecting money directly on the bamboo skewers. As for the number of bamboo skewers, one bamboo skewer of pork balls should be four; Fish meatballs are also a bamboo skewer skewer four; 2 chicken nuggets on skewers; 4 slices of pork belly skewers; 6 slices of cabbage skewers; 6 slices of potato slices...... As for the noodles, they cost two cents each. ”
After the order, the hens, pig bones and crucian carp in Lin Xia's pot had already been boiled into white soup, and he hurriedly put the prepared seasoning into the pot.
"Wow, what are you cooking, boss, it's so fragrant!" Zhang San swallowed his saliva and asked, staring at the soup in the pot with two eyes.
Lin Xia said triumphantly: "This is the soup base, the clear soup." Usually we open in the morning, it is not suitable for eating too spicy, and it is not good for the stomach. Therefore, at noon, a clear soup base is provided to nourish the stomach, warm the stomach and nourish the stomach, and a red soup base is provided in the afternoon. You can skewer all the vegetables and meatballs before you open the door every morning, and I will make the soup base! ”
Zhang San and Li Xi nodded repeatedly, and then separated the skewered vegetables and meat on the trapezoidal shelves in the store.
At three o'clock, Lei Biao, Lin Xia, Zhang San, and Li Xian stood in front of the store, and the door was already surrounded by a crowd watching the excitement.
Lei Biao lit the firecrackers, crackling, the door of the store was so lively, and gradually more people were attracted by the sound of firecrackers.
Lin Xia greeted with a smile: "Our store is officially opened!" As soon as he said that, the red line in his hand was pulled, and the red cloth on the plaque suddenly fell down, and the three big words 'string of incense' were written on it in golden light.
"Today's opening is a big deal, the first ten guests will be discounted by 5%, and the rest will be discounted by 80%! Today only! Lin Xia shouted loudly, for fear that they would not hear clearly.
Hearing this, a large number of people poured into the store after a while.
"Delicious spicy hot! Guaranteed you'll want to eat it the first time you eat it! Zhang San shouted loudly.
Lin Xia had already known that he had moved the cauldron of soup to the gate, the thick soup was boiling, and the rich fragrance was wafting around along the autumn wind, attracting people from afar to look at it curiously.
When you enter the door, on the left is a trapezoidal shelf that occupies most of the wall, on which are placed various vegetables that have been skewered.
There was a young man wearing a pure white robe and a student hat who was standing on the shelf and curiously scanning all kinds of dishes, Zhang San immediately brought a small hollow basket and handed it to him: "Vegetarian dishes are a string for two pennies, meat dishes are two pennies a string, cheap and delicious, you can choose what you want to eat!" ”
Childe was quite interested in picking a few vegetables he liked to eat and putting them in the basket, and then took them to the gate to blanch them for Li Shi, found a place in the store and sat down and began to eat.
Then came the second person, the third person...... After a while, a queue began to form at the door.
Seeing that the number of people was increasing, Lin Xia hurriedly brought out the spicy soup base, which was spicy and numb to stimulate everyone's taste buds in the store, and they called out: "Boss, can I blanch the red soup?" ”
Unexpectedly, the red soup surpassed the clear soup in one fell swoop, and the people who came behind changed to the bottom of the red soup pot, and everyone who ate it in their mouths was captured by this spicy taste.
"Oh my God, it's so spicy, I want water!"
Hearing the voice, Zhang San hurriedly brought a glass of water over.
"I want water too! Fast! I'm going to die of spicy! It's spicy! The man took the water and poured it into his mouth, trying to suppress the spicy taste.
"Delicious! It's so delicious! Spicy and enjoyable, numb and enjoyable! ”
"The clear soup is thick and sweet, the red soup is spicy and numb, and the proprietress is a good cook!"
After a while, the store was full.
"Boss, pay the bill!" A young couple beckoned to Lei Biao.
Lei Biao hurriedly walked over, glanced at the bamboo sticks on the table, and said: "Eight strings of vegetarian dishes, five strings of meat dishes, a total of eighteen Wen, you are the eighth guest, I will give you a five-fold discount, a total of nine Wen." ”
The couple paid very happily, and as soon as they walked two steps, the seat was occupied by the new guests.
Some guests were sad when they saw that there was no place, and Lin Xia said with a smile: "You have chosen a good dish inside, and you can pack it directly after it is scalded outside!" ”
Hearing that they could be packed, many people hurriedly walked in and began to choose and scald the vegetables, and then took them to the checkout, Lei Biao rolled the oil paper into the shape of a triangular tube, and then put the dishes in it and put a bamboo skewer in it, so that they could eat while walking.
Soon you will be able to see many people on the street holding the oil paper in the shape of a triangular cylinder, walking and chatting with others while forking the dishes inside with bamboo skewers, and the smell of spicy tang is exuded all over the street.
What is this called, walking advertisement!
This packed scene lasted until the sun turned west, and even nearby residents came to pack Malatang with their own bowls, Lin Xia still underestimated the charm of this Malatang.
"Hostess, the kitchen is all gone!" Zhang San was also responsible for updating the dishes on the shelf, and when he saw that there were no dishes to serve in the kitchen, he hurriedly greeted Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was stunned, he didn't expect that so many dishes would be consumed in one day.
Seeing Zhang San quietly touching his stomach, he laughed helplessly. Today is really busy, the guests have been coming, there is no free time for them to eat, the four of them have been hungry since the morning.
When the last bamboo skewer was sold out, Lin Xia announced that there was no stock and closed the store early, which disappointed the guests who were waiting outside, Lin Xia had to say, please be early tomorrow.
Closing the door of the store, Lin Xia asked Li Xian to buy a few steamed buns and baked cakes and came back, and then gave the two of them ten cents each, and quickly filled their stomachs, as for the extra money, it was regarded as their hard work.
Lin Xia and Lei Biao sat on a table and chair, poured all the copper plates in the drawer on the table, and divided them into two piles, Lei Biao counted one pile, and she counted one pile.
While eating the buns, he played with the copper plate with his hands.
"Two, Four, Six, Eight......"
"Ninety-six, ninety-eight, one hundred......"
After counting for a long time, Lin Xia raised his head, looked at Lei Biao with dull eyes and complained, "I thought it was a cool thing to count the money until it was soft, but I didn't expect to be so tired!" ”
Lei Biao's thin lips hooked up the arc seductively, "Isn't it good to collect money?" ”
"Well, I think I'd better find someone to count the money, I just want a whole number...... I have three taels and one hundred and twenty-three. Lin Xia said sadly.
Lei Biao thinks Lin Xia is cute, how many people want to count the money until they are soft, she is good, she is tired. "I'm two two eight hundred and thirty wen."
Lin Xia nodded slightly, "The results are good, a total of five or two nine hundred and fifty-three, I didn't expect to earn half a year's rent in just one day, that tooth is estimated to be angry!" ”
Lei Biao looked at Lin Xia dotingly, and said softly: "I'm too tired today, let's go back early." ”
Lin Xia nodded, put all the money in the money bag, locked the door of the store, drove the carriage, and went home at dusk.
The string of incense has been open for more than half a month, and the business has not fallen, but is getting better and better, and the bamboo sticks have been ordered by 500 sticks, and more vegetables have been purchased, which is enough to cope with the steady stream of customers.
The fame of the string of incense has also spread to other counties in this spread, and many people from the next county have come to eat it, so you can imagine how powerful this delicacy is.
Today, Lei Biao and Lin Xia come to open a store every day.
Today's Chuanchuan incense is not as good as in the past, and there are already people queuing up before the tightly closed gate, wanting to be the first to eat the spicy tang of Chuanchuan incense.
After Lin Xia cooked the clear soup and red soup, he walked out of the kitchen, only to see Zhang San holding the cleaned vegetables and putting them on the shelf.
Lin Xiaxiu frowned slightly, and asked Zhang San, "Why hasn't Xiao Xian come yet?" Is he on vacation today? ”
Zhang San replied with a blank face, "I don't know? ”
Lin Xia looked at Lei Biao, who was moving the soup pot to the gate, only to see Lei Biao shaking his head slightly, and said, "He didn't tell me to rest today." ”
"Hey! Xiao Xian, this person, really plan to be presumptuous? Lin Xia rolled up his sleeves and stuck his waist and said, "Hmph, I deducted double my salary today!" Ignore him for now, hurry up and prepare to open the door, the guests are waiting! ”
Zhang San responded and hurriedly put all the dishes on the shelf. Lei Biao moved the soup pot, and as soon as the door opened, customers poured into the store as usual.
I saw an old man walk in, with his back hunched deeply, his head covered with a layer of horsehair-like hair, two collapsed eyes on his gray face, and his eyes were anxious, and he asked, "But the boss?" ”
Lin Xia looked at this old man a little strangely, nodded and responded, "I am, are you ......?" ”
The old man seemed to be about to cry, his voice trembled, as if he had been greatly wronged. "Boss, my little shop can't come today......"
