Chapter 118: Exploring the Tiger's Den
Until she got out of Shen Mengqi's car, Xiao Yu didn't figure out what her family was about, and she was embarrassed to ask her directly, no matter how much it was, it was still important to take care of her own business.
Xiao Yu walked to his store in three steps and two steps, and as soon as he walked to the door of the store, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
It's a meal now, but the business in the store is really good, right? The lobby was full, and there were even many customers waiting in line.
Zhou Xin, Tao Hong, and Xiaomei were so busy that they were about to fly, constantly bringing food out of the kitchen and delivering it to the customer's table, while Lao Zhangtou sat in the cashier's position, collecting money.
Xiao Yu observed a little, more than half of the customers who ordered spicy sauce noodles, superb chicken steak noodles and old Zhangtou buns, grilled chicken wings are also very popular with young people, especially children, and Erya's mutton stewed noodles and inner yellow enema are favored by outsiders.
As for Master Zhang's old Shanghai snacks, almost every guest ordered a takeaway, probably to bring them to the elderly at home.
Xiao Yu saw that Zhou Xin and the others were a little too busy, so he hurriedly put down his schoolbag and helped Zhou Xin and them greet customers together.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the number of guests gradually decreased.
Xiaoyu beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat, everyone was tired, and it was easy to get free, and they didn't want to stand up when they sat on the chairs.
Master Zhang wiped his sweat and shook his head again and again, "Xiaoyu, I have also opened a snack bar for half my life, I have never seen such a good business, from morning to now, I have hardly stopped, I am convinced." ”
Xiao Yu also felt strange, today's business is indeed extraordinary, just now he checked the materials in the kitchen, yesterday Zhou Xin and the others purchased enough for three days, and now they are almost used up in just one day, and they have done business for three days on this day.
Could it be because of the last food competition?
Among the three judges at the beginning, one of them was Cao Hong, who is said to be a columnist for a number of food magazines in Shanghai. Or is it on a blog, praising the snacks in your store?
The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more likely it became, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the power of this media is really not to be underestimated.
After thinking about it, Master Zhang's classic Shanghai snacks, Cao Hong will definitely introduce them greatly, but unfortunately, Master Zhang's snack bar was forced to close in advance due to the constant harassment of hooligans, otherwise, maybe business will be better.
However, now customers can come to their own store and enjoy the first and second place winning snacks, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing that the business in the store is so good, Xiao Yu is naturally very happy, but he is also a little worried about everyone's body, Xiaodao, Da Niu and others are all young people, it naturally doesn't matter if they are busy and tired, not to mention that there is kung fu in the body, this tiredness is nothing.
But Lao Zhang Tou and Master Zhang are not forgiving, if they are so busy every day, it will be unbearable.
Xiao Yu thought for a while and said to Lao Zhang Tou and Master Zhang, "Godfather, Master Zhang, you are old, this kind of work intensity is too great, so let's do it, godfather, we only make five hundred of your buns a day, and if you have more, you don't sell more, Master Zhang, you only need to work in my store for six hours a day, which specific time period is arranged by yourself, okay?" ”
Lao Zhangtou and Master Zhang were stunned for a moment, and Lao Zhangtou's loud voice first shouted, "Xiaoyu, do you think your godfather is old and useless?" Five hundred buns? I can finish it in two and a half hours, and I think it was not unusual for me to sell a thousand buns a day when I was in the bazaar! ”
Master Zhang also shook his head like a rattle, "Xiaoyu, this can't be done, I'm different from my brother, I took your salary, and the work I do is worthy of this salary!" When you go to work, I will go to work, and when you get off work, I will get off work! ”
Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to answer, and when the mood of the two old men stabilized, he smiled slightly, "Godfather, Master Zhang, the reason why I asked you to reduce your workload is to cultivate the hunger of the market." ”
"Hunger? What's that? Not only did Lao Zhangtou and Master Zhang scratch their heads, but even Xiaodao, Da Niu, and Zhou Xin, who were eating next to them, were also interested.
Xiaoyu explained, "To put it simply, things are scarce and expensive, and what can't be bought is a good thing, and the more you can't buy it, the more people want to buy it." The steamed buns made by the godfather and the dim sum of Master Zhang are of high quality, and they are very distinctive, if they are supplied in unlimited quantities, after a while, people will feel that they are not fresh, only limited and limited time supply, which will arouse the appetite of customers and become a new sign in our store, so that they often come to our store. ”
"Oh, I see! Xiaoyu, you really can! You can think of this idea! The knife slapped Xiao Yu's shoulder hard.
Zhou Xin, Xiaomei, Erya and others also showed admiration in their eyes.
Lao Zhangtou and Master Zhang's eyes also lit up, and they both secretly said in their hearts, it turns out that doing business is still so particular, Xiaoyu, this kid is worthy of being a scholar, but he is much more literate than us who sell coolies!
Old Zhang Tou laughed, "Okay! Xiaoyu, just do as you say, to be honest, I made steamed buns for a day, and I was so tired that my back hurt, and my bones were really a little disobedient. ”
Master Zhang also nodded secretly, only six hours a day, naturally it is much easier than staying in the store for a whole day, and he is naturally very grateful for Xiaoyu's arrangement, and he is also secretly thinking in his heart, how to make good use of these six hours, it seems that he needs to do his homework.
Xiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally came up with an idea to make the two old men less busy, but his idea is not bad, maybe it can really have some effect.
After dinner, Xiao Yu called the knife aside and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Is anyone coming to make trouble today? ”
The knife nodded slightly, "I came around ten o'clock, and I sent it away, Master Zhang, they don't know, there are three of them, they are all local street ruffians, one of them I still know, it shouldn't be the people you said." ”
Before Xiaodao met Xiaoyu, he was also fooling around Tianlin Road, and he didn't know each other with these ruffians, and those people knew that Xiaodao's hands were powerful, so they didn't dare to cause trouble here, and after a few gossips, they left.
"Oh? Not them? Knife, among these three people, did any of them wear such a thick gold necklace? Xiao Yu gestured with his hand.
Knife shook his head, "There is absolutely no such person." ”
Xiao Yu thought for a while, and didn't have a clue, could it be that he was wrong? The only explanation is that those people haven't noticed that their store is open today, and I'm afraid they will come here tomorrow to make trouble.
Let Xiaodao go to his business, Xiao Yu went upstairs and took off his school uniform, put on the winter clothes he wore in the morning, thought about it, took out the three-section stick from his schoolbag, and pinned it to his waist.
That 'golden necklace' is Xiao Hei's subordinate, and it is obvious that the one who brought down Master Zhang's snack bar is a member of the Black Dragon Society.
Since they didn't come, then I'll go and find them, Liu Qiang told himself the rudder address of the 'Black Dragon Society' when he left, that place is not difficult to find, it happens to be okay now, just go shopping once!
×××
Panther Bar.
Compared with Hengshan Road, the bar on Tianlin Road is naturally inferior in grade, but it is not without exception, and this panther bar is one of them.
The Panther Bar is in the middle of Tianlin Road, it is definitely a prime location, and compared with the surrounding shops, this bar is obviously much more magnificent, with a two-story building and neon flashes on the exterior wall, and you can see the huge sign of 'Panther Bar' from a distance, which is very eye-catching.
Xiaoyu usually doesn't go to this kind of place, firstly, because the consumption is high, and secondly, the people in it are too mixed, and it is not a place for students to stay.
This time, I had to go inside, and the rudder of the 'Black Dragon Society' that Liu Qiang said was here.
Xiao Yu walked to the opposite side of the bar and took a rough look outside.
Although there are glass windows on the exterior wall of this panther bar, the glass is specially treated, and the lights inside are dim, so when you look in from the outside, you can only see the figures inside, but you can't see what the situation is.
At the door of the bar, there were two reception ladies standing on the left and right, wearing miniskirts inside and a red coat outside, standing in the cold wind, shivering.
After observing for a while, Xiao Yu crossed the road and walked towards the door of the bar.
As soon as I approached the door of the bar, I heard the sound of noisy music coming from inside, as if it was very lively, and a reception lady saw Xiaoyu walking towards the door, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and asked, "How many gentlemen?" ”
"How many?" Xiao Yu looked behind him, there was no one else? Could this reception lady have a problem with her eyes?
Seeing that she was blocking the way, he had to stretch out a finger and say, "One." ”
"One?" The reception lady showed an ambiguous and disdainful smile on her face, and said to Xiaoyu, "Please come with me!" ”
Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, can't he go to a bar to drink alone?
Actually, it's no wonder that the reception lady misunderstood, Xiaoyu looks young and handsome, and although the clothes on his body are not bad, he can see that they are all goods in a small store, and they are definitely not big.
Since Xiao Yu did not come to book a table for a friend, but came alone, she was 90% sure that Xiao Yu was here to do that business.
In the bar, there are many bar girls who are always ready to fish for Kaizi, but there are also many little white faces waiting for the rich woman to come to the door, and this kind of thing is naturally seen by the reception lady.
Walking into the bar, the heavy smell of smoke and alcohol mixed with a wave of heat came to his face, and his ears were filled with crazy and noisy music, Xiao Yu only felt that his head was dizzy for a while, and it took a while to get used to it.
This Panther Bar is really big enough, the lobby on the first floor is three or four hundred square meters, and in the middle is a large bartender table, which is full of polished wine glasses, and the wine rack is full of fine wines from all over the world.
In front of the bartender table was a long bar chair, where many scantily clad young ladies sat elegantly, some smoking, some sipping cocktails, and when they saw someone coming at the door, they all looked here.
These people are so old that they can judge the thickness of your wallet at a glance, Xiao Yu only felt that more than a dozen eyes were scanning back and forth on his body, and he felt uncomfortable, and sighed in his heart, the gaze of these women was comparable to his intermediate reconnaissance skills.
Xiao Yu's clothes in a small shop were obviously seen through by those women, although Xiao Yu's appearance is very good, but his appearance can't be used as food, and they don't do it for money, so they looked away one after another.
The reception lady took Xiao Yu to the innermost part of the bar all the time, and stopped in front of a small table, "Sir, you sit here for a while, the service lady will come to serve you, I wish you a prosperous business." ”
"Business is booming?" Before Xiao Yu could react, the reception lady twisted her ass and walked out, as if she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Xiao Yu sat down suspiciously, the bar opened by this underworld is really different, and what Miss Cheng said is unfathomable.
After looking around, Xiao Yu found that there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him viciously, which is strange to say, the layout here is just the opposite of the front, in this area, there are small tables that can only sit two people, and almost every small table has a person sitting next to it, and they are all men!
Take a closer look, these men are all good-looking, each with their own characteristics, some are wearing a small suit, tie, comb small hair, and look handsome; There are men who wear tank tops and show off their muscles and dress as strong, as well as men who wear school uniforms and have long hair that imitate the flower girls in the Meteor Garden, in short, there are all kinds of men here.
The only similarity is that there is hostility in the eyes of so many men, as if Xiao Yu has just robbed them of a hundred yuan, which makes Xiao Yu uncomfortable.
"This ...... What the hell is this place? "Xiao Yu is stupid.
