Chapter 86: Hot Vegetables
Within two days, Laifushun closed the door, and the news that Shopkeeper Li was going back to Yangzhou spread in Jiangjiaba.
At a very low price, the shopkeeper Li took all the three restaurants that the Fushun owner was going to sell in the future.
In this matter, some people say that Shopkeeper Li disregarded the friendship of his employer at the beginning, and even wanted to take advantage of the owner at this moment. Someone suggested that the proprietor should check the accounts of Jiangjiaba Lai Fushun, Shopkeeper Li is just the shopkeeper of a small restaurant, how can there be so much money to buy three restaurants?
There are also people who privately persuade Shopkeeper Li not to buy a restaurant, even if he wants to buy it, he can't buy three restaurants, just buy one in Jiangjiaba, and if there is any accident at that time, he will not lose too much. The main family was able to sell these three restaurants at a low price at this time, and they must have gotten the news that the rebels were going to fight.
These people are all shopkeepers who were sent everywhere with Shopkeeper Li at the beginning, and now they have been recalled from everywhere by the owner.
Among them, there are those who really think about Shopkeeper Li, and there are those who are simply jealous, and those who want to use Shopkeeper Li as a stepping stone to brush their favorability in front of the owner.
For these words, Shopkeeper Li took them all calmly.
The money he bought from the three restaurants was partly his savings over the years, and the other part was the more than 5,000 taels of silver he earned from reselling raw silk last time.
For these three restaurants, Shopkeeper Li is desperate.
But he didn't regret it at all.
If the shopkeeper Li does not dare to take this step, his best way out is to go back to Yangzhou to continue to be a small shopkeeper in Laifushun, or he can set up a small hotel in Yangzhou and live a stable life.
Thinking about his dream when he was young, Shopkeeper Li still listened to the words of the Lu family's junior and decided to give it a try.
The reason why he dared to be so impulsive was because of the raw silk that Lu Xiaosi persuaded him to turn his hand at the beginning, which gave him the confidence to make a desperate bet.
Hearing that Shopkeeper Li bought three restaurants, the fourth child of the Lu family immediately took his father and mother to Laifushun and made a table full of dishes for Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li really felt that God had eyes this time, so he got to know the Lu family.
What is the long fish feast, there are many people in this world who don't eat long fish.
But the table dish made by the Lu family almost subverted all the previous cognitions of Shopkeeper Li.
He suspected that he was not the shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant, but the poor boy who had never seen the world in the countryside.
A table full of dishes, flying from the sky, walking on the ground, swimming in the water, he had seen every dish, he knew everything.
But he didn't expect that this dish, without boiling, frying, frying, steaming, or smoking, would be served on the table like this.
On the table, a steaming stove, half red soup and half clear soup.
All dishes, whether green vegetables or meat and fish, are almost always raw, and the meat is cut into slices as thin as cicada wings, neatly stacked and served on plates.
The dishes are also divided one by one, the amount is not too much, but the variety is not less.
Eat what is hot, if you like spicy food, put it in red soup, and if you like light, put it in white soup.
What did the little fourth of the Lu family say: "You can also make a baking tray, put a charcoal fire underneath, and roast while eating." ”
Lu Xiaosi also said: "Shopkeeper Li, you can open two such shops in one place, one is more exquisite and high-end, implements an ordering system, orders what you eat, and collects money by portion." You can also open a public one, which is charged per capitation. How many copper coins a person has, eat as much as you want in an hour, eat whatever you want, and eat as much as you want. As long as you eat, the store will never charge any more money. ”
"What if you can't finish eating it and get taken away or wasted?" Shopkeeper Li asked.
He admits that he was intrigued, not just because he was really attracted to this kind of food.
"Of course not, the money for meals is to pay more copper money to waste and take away, as long as you catch it, calculate the money according to the weight of the catty, these are to be posted on the wall and made clear in advance."
This is the wisdom of her predecessors, when she was working and studying, she was an excellent employee.
Shopkeeper Li asked again: "The two stores are both making the same food, but the price is different, who will go to eat the food?" ”
"Of course, there is a difference, and the customers targeted by these two stores are not of the same level. Collecting money according to the head is affordable, as long as it can fill the belly, it is more suitable for ordinary people who have a little extra money in their hands. Collect money by share, what you buy is service, it is comfortable, and it is the dining environment in the store, and such a store is of course more suitable for rich people. If you are eating alone, you can go to an ordinary shop to eat, which is cheap and convenient anyway. But what if you bring your family? Or invite guests or friends to dinner? Would you rather huddle together with a bunch of porters carrying bags to eat and drink? ”
"Of course not." Shopkeeper Li is not a fool, he has been a shopkeeper for more than ten years, how can he not see the Tao in this.
Lu Yangge continued: "Yes, it's the same boiled peanuts, you can buy a bowl on the dock for five yuan, but why do boiled peanuts in Fushun sell for twenty-six yuan a plate?" Customers eat peanuts from Laifushun, perhaps for the dining environment of the store, or for the loud signboard in the store, or because they can get the news he wants by sitting in the store with a plate of boiled peanuts and a pot of tea. It can't be said that the guests are stupid and have a lot of money, and they can't tell the difference between the high and the low, so they like to be deceived! ”
"Hahahaha...... Makes sense, makes sense! ”
After the shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh again, he was not as transparent as a child.
"Uncle Lee's three shops are all on the water's edge and close to the wharf, and most of the customers are boat dealers. If you can get useful information from Uncle Lee's shop, will the merchants think of entering Uncle Lee's shop first when they arrive at the dock? Even if you don't eat, you might be able to get useful information if you come and sit down. ”
As for the decoration of the store, how to make the guests come and return satisfied, she will never say much at this moment.
Really, it's not necessary.
Shopkeeper Li is worthy of being a businessman, and as soon as Lu Yangge said this, he understood the meaning of this.
"Yes, yes!"
He slapped the table so hard that the tea bowls on the table shook.
The spilled tea burned his hands, and the shopkeeper Li woke up, and smiled at Lu Quan with a little weakness: "Brother Lu, don't blame, it's me who is rude." ”
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way."
Lu Quan hurriedly waved his hand, he was a rough man, he couldn't understand what Xiao Si said and they said, so he could only pour tea or something on the side.
"Brother Lu, you gave birth to a good son!"
This is the Nth time that Shopkeeper Li has sighed from his heart, but unfortunately he didn't!
It's really a bit melancholy for no reason!
