Chapter Fifty-Seven: Brother Moxi
Shopkeeper Yang nodded: "That's true, the chef in our store makes all kinds of dishes, and there is no one who specializes in making dim sum." ”
"That's it," Mo Li said, "the dim sum sent to the restaurant to sell, not only will it not affect the sales of the restaurant's dishes, but it will also bring an additional income to the restaurant." Shopkeeper Yang can think about it. ”
"Well, Li Gongzi has a point." Shopkeeper Yang pondered for a moment, "However, we have never done this kind of business, so I don't know if it will work." ”
"The restaurant doesn't need to take money to buy goods, just write these snacks into the menu. The dim sum is all provided by the following, and the shopkeeper Yang doesn't need to pay a penny. Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper Yang and said, "This kind of business, no matter what, the restaurant is not a loss." ”
"Li Gongzi is a cheerful person, so I won't beat around the bush, I should do this." Shopkeeper Yang stood up and made a "please" gesture, "Li Gongzi, please follow me to the private room upstairs, and we will discuss it specifically." ”
When Mo Li left Sijixian Restaurant, it was close to the end of the day, and the shopkeeper Yang left her to eat, but she politely refused. After discussion, the two sides signed a one-month short-term agreement. During the month, Mo Li picked out four items of dim sum she could make every day, ten portions of each. Wait until next month to adjust according to the actual situation.
In fact, Mo Li is not willing to provide too much every day, now after all, she is the only one, and she can't do more. Try it for a month, and if it does sell well, then consider hiring a helper. She made a rough estimate that at present, if the forty servings of dim sum per day alone were sold, there would be at least a dozen taels of silver a month.
The next day, the four kinds of dim sum were officially on the Four Seasons Fresh menu, and in order to increase sales, Mo Li promised that the guys could get a commission reward of five cents for each dim sum sold. At first, the four guys didn't quite believe that there would be such a good thing, and Ma Xiaowu, who had received a reward of ten yuan on the first day, said to the other three companions: "Let's try, there is no loss anyway." I think that Li Gongzi is a generous person, and he gave me a reward when I asked the shopkeeper to come out yesterday. ”
When the other three heard this, they also felt that it was only good for them, and they all worked hard to sell their hearts that day.
With the guys' vigorous promotion, the sales on the first day exceeded Mo Li's expectations, and thirty-two of the forty dim sum were sold. Mo Li fulfilled his promise on the spot and gave a commission according to each person's sales volume. Of the remaining eight servings of dim sum, five were kept for the people in the restaurant to try, and the remaining three were taken by her to give to Dr. Zhang's family next door.
Aunt Zhang got dim sum, but she couldn't help it, and heard that Mo Li had to make forty dim sums a day, so she took the initiative to bring Zhang Yuling over to help.
Mo Li was embarrassed to use the two of them, but Aunt Zhang said that they were just eating three meals at home, tidying up the house, and at most being a female celebrity, there was a lot of time, and they were idle, so it was better to come over and help, just pass the time. Zhang Yuling also said that she was really bored at home, and it was better to help do some work than to be a female celebrity at home.
Seeing that the two of them said this, Mo Li didn't insist anymore, so she asked them to help make noodles and boil the pulp, and the main production had to be done by herself.
In the next few days, the sales of dim sum were good, and 35 or 6 servings were sold every day. After more than ten days, it began to sell out every day. The guys of Sijixian proposed that they would not need to settle the commission every day in the future, let the account room be recorded, and wait for Mo Li and Yang to settle the account at the end of the month.
The sales of dim sum are good, and it is not only Mo Li who is happy, but also the flow of customers has increased compared with before because of the fresh style of dim sum. Shopkeeper Yang has a smile on his face every day when he comes out and goes in, and now every night when it comes, there are still guests waiting for the seats, and the limelight has even overshadowed the largest Changxing restaurant in Qinghuai City, which has not happened since the opening of Sijixian.
With the help of the Zhang family, Mo Li was much easier, and the output naturally increased, and under the repeated pleas of the shopkeeper Yang, it increased from forty to fifty snacks a day.
At the end of the month, Mo Li actually earned more than fifty taels of silver, excluding the cost and commission for the guys, and the net profit was nearly thirty taels, which completely exceeded her previous expectations. After getting the silver, she went directly to the silk village to pull two pieces of clothing, bought a jar of wine and a large piece of beef tendon meat, and saw that the time had passed, and hurriedly carried her things home.
When you get home, wash the beef and boil it in boiling water to remove the blood, then rinse it repeatedly and put various seasonings, green onions, and ginger to boil, and then cover the pot and simmer. After about half an hour, I tasted it, and the beef was already cooked, so I covered the fire and covered the pot with the lid and let the beef continue to soak in the soup. After about another hour, the beef was fully flavored, and then it was taken out and put into a large bowl, covered with a clean muslin cloth.
Mo Li took out a small basket, put the beef and the jar of wine into it, and took two pieces of fabric to Zhang's house next door.
It was Zhang Yuling who came out to open the door, and when he saw that it was Mo Li, he hurriedly called out to the kitchen: "Mother, it's Brother Moxi who is here." ”
Aunt Zhang wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen: "Moxi is here, why are you still carrying things?" ”
"I went to the restaurant today to settle this month's accounts, so I went to buy some wine and meat, and wanted to come to Aunt Zhang's place for a meal." Mo Li smiled and carried the basket in his hand into the kitchen.
"If you want to come to dinner, you can come directly, and buy any wine and meat." The two of the Zhang family followed into the kitchen together, Zhang Yuling took the basket, lifted the muslin cloth covered on it, and suddenly a burst of meat fragrance came out, "Well, it's really fragrant, Brother Moxi, did you make it?" ”
Mo Li nodded: "I buy raw meat and marinate it myself." In addition, these two pieces of fabric were bought for the eldest mother and Ling'er sister, it's hot, make a dress to wear, I just don't know if you like this color. ”
"You kid, you just made some money and spent it indiscriminately, Ling'er and I have a lot of clothes, what are you spending this money for." Aunt Zhang was disgusted, "Let's eat wine and meat together at night, and you can take the fabric back." ”
Mo Li stuffed two pieces of fabric into Aunt Zhang's arms and said with a smile: "Auntie, I am alone in my family, who will I take it back to!" The ingredients are here, so you can take them. ”
Aunt Zhang stroked the fabric: "Yo, it's still fine silk, how much does it cost." ”
"I don't have much money, you and Ling'er have helped me so much, these are things I should honor you." Mo Li said, rolled up his sleeves and cleaned his hands, and began to cut beef.
"This kid, I'll take it this time, and I can't spend money indiscriminately next time." Aunt Zhang handed the two pieces of fabric to Zhang Yuling, "Send them to the house first, don't get dirty." ”
Zhang Yuling was embarrassed, and turned around and walked out of the kitchen with the fabric. Aunt Zhang looked at her back, then looked at Mo Li, who lowered her head to cut beef, and pursed her lips and smiled.
