Chapter Eighty-Four: It's embarrassing to make a deal
Shopkeeper He is also good at doing business, and when he received the snacks sent by Qi Younian, he immediately divided several portions and served a small portion of sorbet and double milk skin to several tables of diners who frequented him.
The double milk skin is fine, at most it is a delicious fresh food, but the sorbet is different.
Frozen state, cold taste, real melt-in-your-mouth, rich aroma and sweetness. In the middle of this scorching summer, eating such an out-of-season delicacy will shock the senses of diners.
It didn't take long for the bucket to be sent out, and the second child of Honghelou hurriedly came over to inform him that the shopkeeper He wanted two more buckets.
After a while, you need two buckets of sorbet?
Qi Younian was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he confirmed it again, "Two big barrels?" "All that is left in the shop are vats of ice cream, and Shopkeeper He has seen vats of ice cream.
Xiao Er nodded and said, "That's right, it's two barrels." Our shopkeeper is afraid that two barrels are not enough. You two don't know, but the little bit of sorbet is divided into several tables and sent up, and the diners at one table can taste a bite with their hands quickly, and those who shoot slowly can only listen to people, and their hearts are very itchy. ”
Ye Xinyan smiled when she heard this, and then said, "That's it? This thing has to be made a long time in advance, and it can't be stored for a long time, so we only made three barrels today. The little brother took these two buckets first, and you told the shopkeeper that we still have a bucket of stock left, if there are guests who need it, they will come and get it, but there is no more. ”
Xiao Er nodded: "Okay, the little one will take these two buckets back first." Also, are there any double milk skins? Double milk skins are also required. ”
Qi Jia poured two little short legs, followed Qi Younian to send Xiao Er out of the back door before coming back, and asked Ye Xinyan as soon as he came back: "Sister, his family bought so much ice cream from us, when will he give us money?" ”
Ye Xinyan laughed out loud, laughing Qi Jia incomprehensibly, only looking at her curiously, and then looking at Qi Younian, I don't know what I said wrong.
Qi Younian couldn't see that the little guy was laughed at, so he pulled Qi Jia over and said with a smile: "Our family and Uncle He are cooperating in business, which is different from small trading, you can't take the money once, you need to settle the account together after a while." ”
Qi Jia nodded as if he didn't understand, and said worriedly: "Then his family will give us money, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Xinyan saw that he was funny, and hurriedly smiled and nodded in response.
When the remaining bucket of sorbet was also taken away, the shopkeeper He came over.
"Old man Qi." The shopkeeper He first arched his hand to Qi Younian.
Qi Younian hurriedly returned the salute, "Shopkeeper He is here, come in and sit." ”
Shopkeeper He sat down on the high stool in the store and asked Ye Xinyan, "Qi Niangzi, did you only make three buckets of sorbet today?" Isn't it okay to speed up the manpower now? ”
Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He, it takes time to freeze, especially now that it is the height of summer, it is not easy for the ice cream to freeze." It's definitely not going to work today. If there is a high demand from diners, we will prepare more tomorrow. ”
"That's right." The deal in hand was not done, which made the shopkeeper He very regretful, "We underestimate the demand of diners, I didn't expect the gentlemen who taste wine and eat vegetables to like this sweet snack so much." ”
After speaking, Shopkeeper He and Qi Younian discussed: "Let's do more tomorrow." Today we sold three barrels, which are far from meeting the needs of diners. Let's make six barrels tomorrow, old man Qi, what do you think? ”
Qi Younian shook his head and said: "Let's ask my granddaughter about this, the little old man doesn't know much about buying and selling." ”
Shopkeeper He looked at Ye Xinyan again.
Ye Xinyan paused and said, "Shopkeeper He, today is the first day we sell ice cream, and what we sell is rare, and we don't know the actual demand yet." Maybe the guests who have eaten today will not want it tomorrow after it is fresh. And sorbet, if you can't sell it in a short time, it will melt. As you know, ice is hard to buy nowadays, and the price has gone up a lot. ”
In the middle of summer, the price of ice rises. Although it is almost the end of summer, the heat is not abating at all, and it is no wonder that the price of ice is soaring.
Shopkeeper He patted his chest and said, "If you want ice, I can buy it for you, it is guaranteed to be enough, and the price is low." Qi Niangzi just needs to make sorbet. ”
Ye Xinyan smiled, "If that's the case, then let's make five barrels tomorrow." It's just that Shopkeeper He, everything is too much. It's the same with sorbet, if it's in sufficient supply every day, I'm afraid things won't be rare......"
They are all buyers and sellers, and the truth that scarcity is expensive is clear as soon as you say it.
Shopkeeper He was the same, he understood when he heard it, and calculated in a deep voice: "One bucket is fifteen to eighteen bowls, and three buckets are about fifty bowls." Then let's make an extra bucket tomorrow, and let's see how the sorbet market goes. ”
The amount of ice cream was agreed, but Ye Xinyan didn't forget what Shopkeeper He said, and then asked: "Shopkeeper He just said that you have a way to buy ice?" Can you tell us about it? ”
Although ice can also be bought outside, if the way of the shopkeeper can be cheaper, of course, it is better to use the way of the shopkeeper He, and now Ye Xinyan is very tight, if he can save it, he will save it, and what he saves is what he earns.
Shopkeeper He shook his head at Qi Younian and smiled: "The old man's granddaughter is very shrewd. Seeing Qi Jia standing beside Ye Xinyan at a glance, he added, "The old man is blessed, and the grandson is also a difficult clever child." ”
"Awards, awards." When Qi Younian heard this, he was so happy that his eyes were almost out of sight. No, with these two children, he is content now.
Five days after opening, the number of sorbets supplied to Honghe Tower remained at three barrels. Qingyuan County is a big county, but it is only a big county, two buckets of sorbet at noon and one bucket at night every day, which is just lacking, and there is not much to be owed.
This amount of control allows diners to keep this fresh iced drink fresh. Most diners can eat it, but it is not always available.
With the sorbet being bought and sold in Honghe Tower, the shopkeeper He got real benefits. There are nearly 20% more diners who come to the banquet every day, and there are usually one or two people who eat sorbet and double milk skin in a group of people, and a group of people will come to Honghe Tower to eat.
Not to mention sorbet, it's a thing with double milk skin, which looks simple, but it can't be made casually. The pastry chef of Honghelou is also considered to be a good craft, and he has tried many times before and after, but he does not have the taste of the double milk skin of the snack shop.
The fresh snacks of Honghelou came from casual snack shops, and this humble snack shop near Honghelou gradually attracted people's attention and began to have customers.
At this time, the casual snack shop only borrowed the light of Honghelou and did not show its own characteristics, so the people who came to relax, oh no, were diners who came to eat snacks, and basically adults brought children over to eat the freshness of sorbet. By the way, Ye Xinyan promoted other foods in her store.
The soups, snacks and the like in the snack shop were prepared earlier, and Ye Xinyan made them herself. The sweet and salty pastries were pointed out by Ye Xinyan and made by the hired white case master Yun Niang.
No matter what kind of food it is, it is the reproduction of the delicious food in Ye Xinyan's memory in this era, and the taste and style are unique. The diners who have come to eat are all amazed by the novelty and satisfied.
However, after receiving several waves of guests in a row, Ye Xinyan was depressed to find that the high-end casual snack restaurant she originally planned had turned into a fast food restaurant that children and half-grown children liked, and it did not develop as she hoped.
