Chapter 172: Gambling on a happy life in the coming year
Gao Dian still lives in this hotel, but he has already begun to consider changing hotels.
However, Gao Dian was a little reluctant.
This hotel was selected by him on the Internet, and it is a very cost-effective hotel. It's not expensive, and the environment is good.
With the economic conditions of Gaodian, too expensive hotels have not been considered.
Living in a hotel is much more expensive than renting a house, for example, he will cost about 100 a day to stay, and staying for 10 days is enough for him to rent a month.
Gao Dian also wanted to live in that kind of short-term rental, but it was difficult to find, and no matter how short-term rental, it would start at least a month.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Dian decided to change hotels.
It's not only far from where he works, but also from where the food festival is held.
Later, he and Lou Xiangpeng participated in the food festival together, and they needed to get up very early to prepare some ingredients, and it was too far to live.
The matter of changing the hotel, let's talk about it tomorrow, anyway, there are still a few days before the opening of the food festival, and I am not in a hurry for a while.
……
The next day, Gao Dian went to work as usual.
As time slowly passed, Gao Dian felt a little strange, why are there so many people ordering oil and noodles today?
Gao Dian became busy, there was no way, he was in charge of the dish of oily noodles, and no matter how much he wanted, he had to follow.
However, the more people who order oil and splash noodles, Gao Dian is also very happy in his heart, and the more people order, the more times he does it.
You must know that no matter what kind of pastry it is, it is indispensable to practice a lot to understand it.
The more he does it, the more skilled Gao Dian becomes, and the more he does it, the better he gets.
……
When he was free at noon, Gao Dian smiled at Lou Jun and said, "Uncle Lou, I want to ask you for a leave tomorrow." ”
"Do you have something to do tomorrow?" Lou Jun asked.
"Something." Gao Dian said.
He listened to Lou Xiangpeng's statement, and did not say that he was going to eat mutton steamed buns with Lou Xiangpeng.
Lou Jun heard the words and said: "Yes, you go to do your business tomorrow, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me, in K City, I can still help with some small favors." ”
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lou, I will open my mouth if necessary." Gao Dian said.
"Hmm." Lou Jun nodded.
Seeing Gao Dian coming back, Lou Xiangpeng came up and asked, "How is it, does my dad agree?" ”
"Agreed." Gao Dian said.
"Great!" Lou Xiangpeng said happily.
"I've taken a leave of absence, can you leave tomorrow?" Gao Dian asked.
Lou Xiangpeng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can leave if I want, my dad won't say anything." ”
Gao Dian: ......
It's really capricious.
But soon he remembered that Lou Xiangpeng still had the leisure to participate in the Big Stomach King competition before, and he was relieved.
Go to work in the afternoon.
There are still a lot of people who order oil and splash noodles, and Gao Dian is busy alone.
finally stayed up until the evening to get off work, Gao Dian dragged his tired body and prepared to go back to the hotel to sleep.
Lou Xiangpeng smiled at Gao Dian again, "Brother Dian, let's go eat together." ”
Gao Dian waved his hand and said, "Not today, I'm too tired today, let's do it tomorrow." ”
Lou Xiangpeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up at the hotel where you live tomorrow." ”
"But Brother Dian, you are really unlucky, there are a lot of people who order oil and splash noodles today." Lou Xiangpeng said.
Gao Dian heard this, smiled, unlucky? Not really.
"Alright, I'll go first." Gao Dian said.
Lou nodded to Peng.
No one went out to eat with him today, and Lou Xiangpeng didn't plan to go out, so he just ate two bites at home to deal with it.
In fact, his family's food is not bad, both in taste and ingredients, it is better than that of many families.
But if he eats too much, he is tired of it, and Lou Xiangpeng feels that the food at home is not as delicious as outside.
His father hadn't left yet, and was in the office checking his income and expenses for the day.
Lou Xiangpeng knew about his father's habit, and he came to the office.
"Dad, isn't it over yet?" Lou Xiangpeng asked.
"Wait, right away." Lou Jun replied.
Suddenly, he looked at Lou Xiangpeng with some surprise and said, "Why didn't you go out to eat today?" ”
"I'm not going out to eat today." Lou Xiangpeng said.
Lou Jun thought of something and nodded.
He checked the day's income and expenditure, and suddenly, he stopped, frowning.
Lou Xiangpeng noticed his father's strange appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lou Jun said: "Today's oily noodles are selling a lot. ”
"That's it, I know, Brother Dian is busy in the kitchen today." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Yesterday, the number of oily noodles sold was higher than usual, and the situation is still the same today." Lou Jun said.
Lou Xiangpeng thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you think it's because Brother Dian makes oily noodles?" ”
Lou Jun nodded and said: "Well, there is indeed this suspicion, our restaurant has always had oily noodles before, but there has never been such a situation." ”
"Maybe it's because there are more people who want to eat oily noodles in the past two days." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"It's also possible, Gao Dian will take a leave of absence tomorrow, so let's wait until tomorrow." Lou Jun said.
"Hmm." Lou nodded to Peng.
Lou Jun packed up his things and said, "Let's go, let's go back together." ”
"Dad, I want to ask you something." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"What's the matter? As he walked, he said, your mother is in a hurry at home. Lou Jun said.
The father and son were walking on the road, and Lou Xiangpeng said: "Dad, did the organizer of the food festival send you an invitation letter before?" ”
When Lou Jun heard this, he responded: "Yes, I did send an invitation letter to invite our restaurant to participate in the food festival." ”
"What do you think, Dad? Are we going? Lou Xiangpeng asked.
Lou Jun said: "I don't plan to go, the food festival is held during the National Day, and there are a lot of tourists at that time, so we can't come to the restaurant ourselves, where do we have time to participate in any food festival." ”
Lou Xiangpeng smiled: "Dad, why don't we go and participate." ”
When Lou Jun heard this, he looked at Lou Xiangpeng strangely and said, "What's going on with you kid today?" There is something to talk about. ”
"Hehe, I just want to go to the food festival, and when the time comes, I will team up with Gao Dian to participate, and we will earn half of the money. Anyway, Dad, you don't plan to go, that invitation is wasted, so we will use the name of Lou's Restaurant to participate. Lou Xiangpeng said.
Hearing Lou Xiangpeng's words, Lou Jun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not bad to let Lou Xiangpeng participate.
He has no interest in going to food festivals to make money, not that he is not interested in making money, but his restaurant is already very busy and has no time to participate in any food festivals.
Even many other restaurants have the same idea, and even if they go back to the food festival, there will not be many.
But it's a good thing to go to the food festival, for his son, Lou Jun has always had a headache, he doted on him too much, although he didn't develop a bad character, but he was also lazy.
This food festival may be an opportunity to exercise, anyway, it is just an invitation, and he didn't need it, so he can use it.
Participating in the food festival can also let him know that it is not easy to make money.
"Dad, what do you think?" Lou Xiangpeng asked.
"It's not impossible to participate in the food festival under the name of Lou's Restaurant, and I can also give you the invitation, but you have to agree to my request." Lou Jun said.
"Dad, don't say one request, even ten requests I will agree." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Don't be in a hurry to talk so much, you listen to my request first." Lou Jun said.
"Okay, then Dad, you say." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"The organizers of the food festival gave me an invitation, but it is not free to participate in the food festival, and each booth of the food festival has a booth fee, which you have to pay for yourself. I can pay for you first, but you'll have to pay me back then. Lou Jun said.
"That's it, I thought it was a request, Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely return it to you." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Don't worry, it's not my request, you want to participate in the food festival, this must be your own, I just made it clear to you in advance. My request is that you can make 50,000 yuan after all kinds of expenses. Lou Jun said.
"It's only 50,000, Dad, I promised you." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Fifty thousand? It's pure profit, not your turnover. Lou Jun said with a smile.
"Dad, you underestimate me too much, 50,000 yuan is not a matter of getting your hands on it." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"I hope you can still say that then, but I will warn you first, if you can't do it, there will be punishment." Lou Jun said.
"What punishment?" Lou Xiangpeng asked.
"You will be given a year of retreat, during which you will not be allowed to go out to eat every day, and you will have to practice pastry for eight hours a day." Lou Jun said.
"Huh?" Lou Xiangpeng was a little reluctant.
"Is a year too long? Dad, otherwise, how about a month? Lou Xiangpeng tried to bargain.
Lou Jun looked at Lou Xiangpeng with a smile and said, "What do you think?" ”
Lou Xiangpeng said: "I think there can be a little less. ”
"Then don't go to the food festival, you have to borrow the signboard of Lou's Restaurant, and you don't want to pay any price, how is it possible." Lou Jun said.
"Dad, don't, we have something to discuss, a year is too long, or half a year." Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Say a year is a year, if you want to promise, you can agree, if you don't agree, forget it." Lou Jun said.
Lou Xiangpeng had a bitter face, he couldn't go out to eat at will for a year, and he had to practice noodles for eight hours a day, which was simply killing him.
"Don't you think 50,000 yuan is easy to earn? What are you afraid of, anyway, if you earn it, I won't force you to do anything. Lou Jun said.
Lou Xiangpeng was entangled, he felt that it was very simple to earn 50,000 yuan, but he also understood that his father was cunning and cunning, and he must be digging a hole for himself.
He didn't want to say yes, mainly because a year was too long.
But he agreed to Gao Dian, and kept saying that there was no problem, the cattle had already been blown out, and what if he refused and couldn't participate in the food festival?
Tell Gao Dian that he is actually bragging?
Isn't this a slap in the face!
Lou Xiangpeng gritted his teeth, just one year a year, and he still didn't believe that I couldn't earn 50,000 yuan.
"Good! I promise you! Lou Xiangpeng said.
"You don't allow repentance, if you promise, you have to implement it, and if you can't earn 50,000 yuan at that time, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Lou Jun said.
"I won't go back!" Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Okay, I'll call the food festival organizer when I get back, but you can prepare the rest yourself, and I won't help you." Lou Jun said.
"No, we can do it ourselves." Lou Xiangpeng said.
Lou Jun smiled and said, "Okay." ”
He looked at Lou Xiangpeng, this kid didn't know how thick the sky was.
The food festival lasts for seven days, and you can earn 50,000 yuan in seven days, thinking it's very simple?
You know, this 50,000 is pure profit, not turnover.
A small stall, two people, no matter how good the business is in a day, how many pastries can be made?
Calculate a simple account, you have to earn 50,000 yuan in seven days, that is, an average of about 7,200 per day, and a pastry is calculated as a net profit of 6 yuan, so you have to make 1,200 pastries.
The profit of six yuan for a pastry is not low, after all, the cost and booth fees must be deducted.
Ten hours a day, one hundred and twenty servings an hour have to be made, and the average person makes one pastry per minute.
Is it still easy?
Moreover, this is still if enough copies can be sold, and it may not be possible to sell 1,200 copies a day at that time.
Lou Xiangpeng didn't calculate this account carefully, thinking that 50,000 yuan was very profitable, which was related to his life since childhood.
Of course, Lou Jun is sure that he will definitely be able to make money by participating in the food festival, otherwise there would not be so many people participating in the food festival.
Why do you want to participate if you don't make money? Profitable for sure.
But if you want to earn 50,000 yuan in seven days, it is not easy, at least there are only two people's stalls, which is difficult to achieve.
Lou Jun did it on purpose, the amount he set was not too outrageous, but it was extremely difficult to achieve, in order to let Lou Xiangpeng retract his heart.
The father and son didn't say anything along the way, Lou Xiangpeng cheered himself up in his heart, he must earn 50,000 yuan, otherwise his life will be gloomy.
Gao Dian didn't know that Lou Xiangpeng bet on his happy life for the next year in order to get the invitation.
Now, Gao Dian is talking to his parents on the phone at the hotel.
He didn't tell his parents about it, mainly because he was afraid that they would worry.
After chatting, he hung up.
Today is a tired day, and Gao Dian sleeps quickly.
…………
At this time, on the other side of the same K city, someone was making a phone call.
"What? You're not coming to the food festival? ”
"Yes, I've been a bit busy lately and probably don't have much time."
"That's a shame."
"Although I can't go, I will also give a gift, which can be regarded as my support for the food festival."
"Thank you."
The person in charge of this food festival hung up the phone with a wry smile on his face.
In order to hold this food festival, he invited many famous restaurants in K City, but so far, no one is willing to participate.
At this time, a staff member came running over and said, "Good news, good news! ”
"What's the good news?"
"That's right, Lou's Restaurant is willing to send people to participate in the food festival."
"Really? That's great! ”
