Chapter 7: Red Fire (1)
Li Sihai opened a restaurant in the city, but because there were no signature dishes and there were not many regular customers, business was bad for a while. Business has been bad since the beginning of this year, the price of vegetables and meat has been rising, but the price of food in the restaurant is not easy to adjust. Originally, business was not good, and most of the people who came to eat around him came because the food here was cheap, and if the money increased, there would definitely be no one of the few familiar customers who were pitiful.
In the past few days, the spring has been cold, and the Municipal Meteorological Bureau predicts that there will be rain and snow in recent days, and the vegetable vendor who often supplies him with vegetables called him yesterday and said that from today onwards, the prices of all vegetables will rise by one percent. Damn, it's still hard to live? Li Sihai shouted directly: "I don't want your food, I don't need you to send it from tomorrow!" ”
Without you Zhang Butcher, I still eat hairy pigs? He heard that there was a vegetable market in Liujiaji in the suburbs, and many vegetable vendors in the urban area bought their vegetables there. It's far away, but it's cheap and the food is fresh.
So, he got up early this morning and drove all the way in his old van.
After looking at a few of them, they were about the same as the vegetables provided to him by the vegetable vendors, but the price was five to eight cents cheaper per catty, and the more the quantity was much more suitable than buying it in the city, so he began to compare it carefully.
After Meng Zhen sent off the first customer, people began to come to buy groceries one after another. Although it was a little strange for her to sell them one by one, but seeing that the food was good, everyone who came to the stall did not leave empty-handed. Seeing that there were not many vegetables left in the box, she began to think about waiting for the vegetables to be sold and going to the motor vehicle market in the north to have a look. Just buy an electric tricycle, it doesn't have to be too good, it's second-hand. She still has more than 800 in her hand, and now she has sold more than 200 vegetables, and about one-third of the vegetables, and it is estimated that she can sell more than 100 yuan, so that it will be more than 1,000 yuan, and strive to control it within 1,000.
"Boss, how do you sell this dish?"
Li Sihai stood in front of Meng Zhen's stall, picked up a tomato and asked.
"Oh, tomatoes are ten yuan for six, eggplant is ten yuan for eight, and peppers are ten yuan for eight!"
"Boss, your dish is expensive enough, more than 1 yuan per catty." Li Sihai checked each type of dish, and roughly estimated the price of one pound of vegetables, tomatoes are five yuan a catty, eggplants are more than three yuan a catty, and the most expensive pepper is more than six yuan.
This morning, every time Meng Zhen quoted the price of vegetables, the first reaction of ordinary customers was how to sell them one by one. And the man in his thirties in front of him did not dwell on this issue, but looked like an expert and calculated the price of the dishes she set at that time.
"Big brother, it seems that you are an expert, the price is more expensive than the market, but you get what you pay for, these vegetables are all my own grown, absolutely pollution-free and pollution-free pure green vegetables."
Saying that he would let him taste the freshly cut tomatoes, just now in order to convince people, she specially asked the owner who sold tofu next to her to borrow a knife and cut a tomato. Generally, people who have eaten it will not say anything more, and directly ask for the amount they need.
Li Sihai took a petal and tasted it, it tasted really good. It is said that the tomatoes on the market now are basically greenhoused, and the greenhouse vegetables look fresh, but they lack the natural ripening taste. The girl's dish in front of me feels naturally ripe when eaten, not like it is ripe and red.
Look at the eggplant again, one by one, it is delicate, gently pinched, it is not soft, and the color looks fresh, purple and shiny. The peppers are also good, each one is the size of a fist.
"Boss, the food is good, but it's too expensive. I want all these dishes for you, so let's get a discounted price. To tell you the truth, I open a restaurant in the city, if this dish is really good, we can cooperate for a long time in the future! ”
Meng Zhen calculated the remaining dishes in his heart, so he said: "It's okay, I still have these dishes left, if you want them, give one hundred and fifteen." ”
She said as she took out all the dishes in the basket and put them on the table: "You can count, just more, no less!" ”
Li Sihai probably counted it with his eyes, well, it's a lot, "Cheng, I see that the boss is a refreshing person, and I won't count it." As you say, one hundred and fifteen! ”
After negotiating the price, Meng Zhen helped him pack all the dishes, collected the money, and watched him leave with the dishes. He turned around and packed up his stall, stacked three empty frames and put them in the tricycle behind, stuffed cotton sheets and tablecloths into the car body, bought a piece of tofu at the tofu stall next to him, and pushed the cart away.
Meng Zhen got out of the vegetable market, turned around the corner, put the car into the manor first, and took a look at Xiong Xiong by the way. When she entered the manor and saw it, Meng Zhen was a little surprised: she saw Xiong Xiong holding a big tomato and licking it, and the dog food she put in only moved a few bites. What's going on, Xiong Xiong is only a little over a month old, how can he pick vegetables by himself? When she came to the red earth and saw the tomatoes falling on the ground, she realized that there were places where she did not pick them in time, and the persimmons were ripe, and they fell off by themselves, and some of their mouths were cracked. I said, I thought she had a strange dog.
She patted Xiong Xiong's head, and Xiong Xiong just "hummed" twice, and didn't look up to continue licking. Meng Zhen sat on the hanging chair and began to count the money from selling vegetables today. After counting the large and small banknotes in the bag, there are actually 380 yuan? I didn't expect it, it was more than I earned in a day at work. At this momentum, she can stop going to work at all. You don't need too much every day, pick up a few baskets and sell them, and you can earn three or four hundred a day. Roar, you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
But she only thought about it, after all, the manor was only a dream miracle to her, and she didn't know how it came to be, so she couldn't be sure how long it would last. Therefore, now it is my mother's blessing to be able to make money with it, and the job cannot be lost at all.
After counting the money, she bowed by the pool and washed her face, and she came out of the manor. It's past ten o'clock, and she still has a lot of things to buy. Go buy an electronic scale first, and then you can't talk about selling vegetables, she doesn't know the rod scale, so she can only choose the electronic scale. I spent one hundred and eight to buy an electronic scale, and then I came to the fresh market, bought a few catties of pork ribs, and asked the boss to help chop them and divide them into two halves: eat half for myself and give half to Aunt Meng. If you borrow someone's car, you can't borrow it for nothing. Finally, I came to the motor vehicle market, and after bargaining, I bought a new second-hand electric tricycle for 850%.
Meng Zhen bought good things, put the small things in the car body, and then left Liujiaji. She didn't know that after she left, Mrs. Song turned back to the market excitedly, looked at the empty stall, and asked the boss next to her, and the owner of the tofu stall said enviously that the girl had sold out and had already gone back. Alas, the old lady sighed, it can only be tomorrow. She didn't expect her family to like it so much.
When she got home, she washed a tomato and ate it raw because she was thirsty. When I ate a persimmon, I was addicted to it, and I ate three in a row, and my wife saw that she was eating sweetly, so she ate it together. As a result, before cooking, half of the dozen persimmons were gone. The son who opened the fish pond came home to get something, and saw two old men holding tomatoes and eating them raw, so he took one curiously, and when he returned to his fish pond, there were no tomatoes at home.
I hadn't eaten such a good dish for a long time, and the old lady thought that maybe the girl hadn't left yet, so she hurried back, but it was still too late, and there was only one empty seat left. The heart speaks, come early tomorrow, buy more, and give those old sisters a taste.
When she was about to arrive at Zhoujiazhuang, she parked on the side of the road where no one was around, changed the car, and carried Xiong Xiong out by the way. As a result, the people were not happy and struggled to come down.
Put Xiong Xiong in the car body, the ribs hung on the handlebars, and Meng Zhen went all the way home.
Downtown, Four Seas Restaurant.
Li Sihai's father accompanied a chubby old man, sitting in a single room and chatting, scolding his son in his heart: I told him the day before yesterday that today he invited the chef of Minghuju and asked him to get ready to see if he could let the chef give him some tricks. As a result, people came so easily, and this dead boy actually ran to buy vegetables. If he hadn't saved the chef once when he was young, according to his current grade, his own small restaurant would not have come to spend any money.
was complaining, Li Sihai rushed in and explained to the waiter at the door: "Go to the kitchen and call two people to bring in the dishes in my car." ”
Then he walked quickly to his father and apologized to the two old men: "Master Zhao, I'm really sorry, I just went to Liujiaji to buy vegetables, and there was a traffic jam in the city, and I came back late, you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"It's okay, for a restaurant, you have good ingredients to make good dishes. Come, Xiao Li, tell me, what are your specialties here? ”
Chef Zhao looks like he is in his sixties, and he should pay attention to maintenance in normal times, and he is a little fat, but not bloated.
"This, alas, Master Zhao, is a little ashamed to say. This restaurant started out as a Sichuan restaurant, and after I took over, I also made Sichuan cuisine for a while. But we, northerners, can't always eat such spicy food. Later, I changed to a chef who was from the Northeast, and I started to cook Northeast food. Now the more popular ones are: chicken stewed mushrooms, three fresh places, and stewed in the Northeast. ”
"This can't be done, Xiao Li, you can't do whatever you want to do when you are doing it, you have to have your own characteristics. Well, I'll go with you to the kitchen! ”
