The next day, Liu Ming, who didn't know anything about everything, happily opened the store.

There were no people waiting at the door today, which surprised him.

When it was close to noon, Zhang Yuanwai trotted and ran over.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of noodles."

Isn't that right?

On weekdays, at least more than 300 bowls have been sold.

When Zhang Yuanwai came to the table, Liu Ming leaned over and said, "Zhang Yuanwai, what's wrong today?" ”

"Hey ......" Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand and said: "Bazhenlou has made a gimmick, and dishes under 50 yuan are sold cheaply." ”

"Sell it cheaply?" Liu Ming was puzzled: "The fried vegetables in his store for thirty wen, only three wen?" ”

"Yes, and today, one penny is enough for corn."

"Huh?"

Liu Ming scratched his head: "Is Bazhen Lou robbing me of guests?" ”

"You poached a chef, and it's normal for people to retaliate against you."

Zhang Yuanwai snorted towards the kitchen, picked up a piece of cucumber slice and stuffed it into his mouth: "Chef Yang, it's good that Liu Yuanwai doesn't settle accounts with you." ”

"No, why is he bothering me?"

Seeing Liu Ming's puzzled face, Zhang Yuanwai took a few bites, swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, with all due respect, you are not very authentic, when digging other people's corners on the street, can others not be angry?" ”

"He sent someone over to smash the field, and I'm not angry yet!"

Liu Ming's heart was on fire.

Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand and said: "Leave him alone, this gimmick, he can't last a few days." ”

Liu Ming looked outside the store, and the crowd seemed to be walking towards Bazhen Building, and he was even more unhappy.

"Zhang Yuanwai, I take the liberty of asking, why don't you go to Bazhen Building to eat?"

Hearing Liu Ming's question, Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand one after another: "His dishes under 50 wen don't even have some meat, and they are not delicious." ”

"It's not delicious, so why do so many people go?" Liu Ming was even more puzzled.

"It's full of money, this is no different from opening a warehouse and releasing grain," Zhang Yuanwai gloated: "Liu Yuanwai is so generous, I'm afraid that if you persist for a few more months, you will become a good person of Liu Da." ”

"Tube full ......"

Liu Ming muttered, frowning.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, do you only sell noodles?" Have you ever thought about selling something else? ”

"Something else?" Liu Minghu said suspiciously.

"yes, sell some dishes or something, to be honest, although this noodle is good, I'm also a little tired of eating it, and now I don't want to eat noodles, but I want to eat the crispy cucumber here."

While speaking, Zhang Yuanwai took out another piece of cucumber and stuffed it into his mouth: "Hmm...... The umami-rich soup is soaked with raw cucumbers, and the fragrance of the cucumbers blends with the fresh soup, which is really unforgettable. ”

Zhang Yuanwai's expression of an old gourmand made Liu Ming a little surprised.

"Zhang Yuanwai, I want to ask you, if I make a plate of meat dishes and sell them for fifty wen, can you accept it?"

Enjoying being interrupted by Liu Ming, Zhang Yuanwai frowned slightly, and then said: "The price, it is set by taste, the most expensive dish in Bazhen Building is called Turtle Yangding, guess how much?" ”

"How much?"

Zhang Yuanwai raised two fingers: "Two taels of silver." ”

"What? Two two? Liu Ming was surprised: "It's so expensive, who can afford it?" ”

"I," Zhang Yuanwai patted his chest: "Although Mingyang County is poor, there are more than 200 rich households, including more than 30 large households, and I am one of them." ”

"Then why don't you go to Bazhen Building to eat?"

"I have money, but I'm okay here." Zhang Yuanwai tapped his head: "It's okay to taste it occasionally, eat it all at once, so where is it?" ”

"Also, the dish of two taels of silver is really expensive."

"That's not it," Zhang Yuanwai echoed: "I am a family worker, I only give one or two silver a year, and with this money to eat his food, I will hire two more long-term workers to reclaim wasteland." ”

Seeing that Liu Ming nodded in agreement, Zhang Yuanwai was a little proud, and said: "Shopkeeper, as long as your craftsmanship is good and the price is more expensive, the guests are still full, don't be afraid, understand?" ”

"I must have the craft, Zhang Yuanwai, I might as well ask you to help today."

"You say."

"In a few days, my new store will open, and I will ask Zhang Yuanwai to help publicize it."

Hearing the new store, Zhang Yuanwai's eyes lit up: "Oh? New shop or selling noodles? ”

"Don't sell noodles, sell vegetables."

"What dish? What is the price? ”

is worthy of being a foodie, and the topic he cares about most is almost blurted out.

Liu Ming smiled and said, "The dishes will be sold first, but the price has already been set, three hundred wen per table, ten tables a day." ”

"Three hundred wen!" Zhang Yuanwai stood up in shock.

"Zhang Yuanwai, how about you and I make an agreement here today?" Liu Ming continued: "From today onwards, I will promote my new store, and after the new store opens, the price will always be cheaper for you." ”

"And such a good thing?"

Zhang Yuanwai rubbed his hands happily: "Then it's a word?" ”

"It's a deal!"

Zhang Yuanwai was as happy as if he had picked up silver.

Looking at his departing back, Liu Ming suddenly sneered.

"Bazhenlou, if you want to rob my low-end customers, then don't blame me for robbing all your high-end customers!"

At the other end, inside the Bazhen Building.

In the box on the second floor, Liu Yuanwai was lying on the Luohan bed with his eyes closed.

The maid behind him gently rubbed his head.

The noise outside made him upset.

He'd been tormented by the sound for a whole day.

Last night, after Peng Yuanguan left, he suddenly turned back and told him that he had made such a gimmick.

He calculated it himself, according to the eating habits of the guests in his Bazhen Building, even if the dishes under fifty yuan were given away for free, they would not lose much.

However, what he didn't expect was that the big money of corn was enough, and it hurt him badly.

It's been a whole day, and it's full of coolies, long-term laborers, peddlers, pawns, and other customers.

These people once didn't even dare to cross the threshold of Bazhen Tower.

Now, in his Bazhen Building, he eats and drinks nonsense!

The noisy gongs and drums for a meal are endless, and the rich people who go upstairs can't stay.

The price of corn is cheap, and a big dollar can buy a catty.

However, a large sum of money from a customer is not enough for the salary of the guy, as well as the cost of the store!

What's more, these peddlers and pawns started with three bowls when they came in, and they dragged their families with their mouths, as if they were reincarnated by hungry ghosts.

The per capita production of two catties of corn is equivalent to one person entering the store, and he will lose about three cents.

At a loss, he had to be angry, which made his head hurt.

He was troubled for a day, and it was not until the time of closing, when his subordinates returned, that the only good news of the day brought him.

Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, there is only one customer entering the store today.

Zhang Yuanwai.

Hearing the news, he was overjoyed, looked out the window and muttered: "Peng Yuanguan, Peng Yuanguan, your trick is really good, see me crush his Liu Ji Noodle Shop!" ”
