…………
Nobunaga Hato, fidgety, lay on the bed and lit a hand-rolled cigarette, took out the bedside food delivery contact book and began to look at it.
Everyone's need for sleep duration varies according to their physical fitness.
For a guy like Nobunaga who needs to sleep 10 hours a day, he is forced to sleep only 6 hours a day, and he will be woken up by system noise, which is a kind of torment.
In particular, there are times when I am very tired, such as taking out a certain mayor, fighting with the mother of Otter, and fighting in the Yubari City Council on the press table......
In these cases, extra sleep time is required to regain energy.
…………
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder found:
Sleeping less than 7 hours can affect overall physical health and increase the risk of stroke and heart disease.
For most adults, 7 hours is a dangerous cut-off.
In the 20th century, a number of studies published in the journal Nature Medicine found that people who were sleep-deprived showed that brain scans showed it.
When people who don't get enough sleep feel sleepy, their brain cells actually slow down.
The brain's lymphoid system, which is supposed to process waste, produces a lot of garbage, destroying their ability to "encode information and convert visual input into conscious thinking."
At the same time, there is a large increase in amyloid levels in certain areas of the brain, which is an important cause of Alzheimer's.
…………
Nobunaga could only sleep 6 hours a day.
His body was in a very bad state of exhaustion for a long time, and this pain of life was worse than death, which made Nobunaga feel like crazy......
………………………………
Mei's planning strategy.
"Open a noodle shop that specializes in steamed steamed buns."
The steamed steamed buns of Yangquan Restaurant have become a specialty-level existence in Yubari City.
The three towns under Yubari City, in Yuren Town, which is the farthest away from Yosen Restaurant, rent a small shop and specialize in steamed steamed buns, and the store staff is arranged to work in two shifts from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
In this way, it can not only avoid the competition between the store and the branch in the same region, but also give full play to the brand advantage of Yangquan Restaurant's steamed steamed buns to the greatest extent.
…………
Nobunaga decided that this shop would be called "Ishikariya" and would specialize in making pastries.
The open-pit coal mine area of the Ishikari Plain is the highest quality and largest coal geological distribution area in Hokkaido, covering coal towns such as Yubari City, Mibai City, and Iwamisawa City.
These cities rose because of the abundant coal resources of the Ishikari Plain, but they were also destined to decline because of the depletion of resources here.
The steamed steamed buns of Yangquan Restaurant are deeply loved by coal miners.
The choice of the name "Ishikariya" hints at the store's target audience in the early days of its establishment, which was manual laborers.
………………………………
In recent years, the entire Yubari economy has been in a downward phase, with coal mines being closed continuously, more and more unemployed, and more and more idle shops on the streets.
With the help of Goro Kamado, the co-director of the Hokkaido Coal Mine Authority, he was able to find six or seven shops and a group of bakery employees in just two weeks.
This store is located in the Yaohan Department Store in Yuincho, on a shopping street across from it.
When Nobunaga heard the name of Yaohan Department Store, a shopping mall with a 70s atmosphere, he immediately chose this place.
Yaohan Department Store was founded in 1930 by Ryohei Wada, a farmer, and his wife Wada. It was originally a small shop that mainly sold fruits.
After the war, it gradually expanded into a chain of super department stores in RB and was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
…………
The location here is good, and the shop area is not large, only 25 square meters.
Originally, I ran a fried food shop, and the taste belonged to the level of home cooking, and the business was not bad.
In the past two years, the overall economy of Yubari City has declined, and the consumption of coal workers' families has been decreasing, and the shopping street has suddenly become depressed.
Even with the help of the popularity of Yaohan Department Store, this explosive shop still closed down.
The shop here has not been rented out for half a year.
The landlord also asked Goro Kamado if he had any intention of buying the store, and he was willing to sell it at a 20% discount.
Nobunaga definitely refused.
…………
Yubari City, a city with depleted resources, is destined to have a bleak future for housing prices.
In 1979, the reform of the dragon country had begun, and it was actively attracting foreign investment.
Now if you want to buy a house and land, you are also using a foreign identity to go to a small fishing village in Longguo and hoard land to buy a house.
In addition, Mei's expansion strategy for "Ishikariya" is asset-light management. Buying a store is obviously in conflict with the planning strategy.
………………………………
In the autumn of 1979, after a simple renovation, four clerks were recruited in two shifts.
The first Ishikari Ya, Yunimachi, was officially opened across from the Yaohan Department Store.
Main business: steamed steamed buns.
Open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m.
…………
Nobunaga's only concern is the quality of the "steamed buns" made.
Relying on the fame of Yangquan Restaurant's steamed steamed buns, it can deceive a wave of customers at the beginning.
However, after all, this "steamed steamed bun" has reached the level of [Grandmaster], and there is no pastry chef in the entire Yubari City, or even in Hokkaido, who can reach the entire level.
Even if Nobunaga Hatoshi patiently taught the production method of optimizing the [Yangquan Restaurant] system, the level of the staff was still worrying.
Basically, it is a "usual" level, which is equivalent to the level of homemade steamed steamed buns.
………………………………
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the two clerks on the morning shift in the store began to open the door of the store and boil the water, and the other mixed the noodles, fermented, and put the steamer.
The two of them were busy until about 4 o'clock, and the first drawer of steamed steamed buns came out of the cage.
Nobunaga Hato, Kifutaro, and Ume, as the first guests of this Ishikari house, bought three steamed manju.
