"Boss, is there a place?"

"There is a place, a few people are please!"

Xu Mu stood at the door of his hot pot restaurant, greeting the guests with a smile.

After the guests entered, they looked at their slightly deserted courtyard, and then looked at the people of the 'Shuxiang Pavilion' next to them, and suddenly sighed helplessly.

"It can't go on like this. ”

"I can barely keep a profit now, and after a while, I'm afraid I'm going to lose money......"

Xu Mu, a five-year senior at Rongcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has one year to graduate.

Because I liked it since I was a child, I started to use my spare time to create my own online works not long after I went to college.

In this regard, he is also quite talented, and in the four years of college, he not only wrote nearly 6 million words, but also saved more than 100,000 manuscript fees.

In his senior year, he used the hundreds of thousands of manuscript fees to invest 50% with his friends in the commercial street next to the school to open a hot pot restaurant called 'Four Seasons Hot Pot'!

A doctor who doesn't want to be a writer is not a good cook!

So this sentence is a joke for others, but it is very suitable to describe Xu Mu.

is writing and opening a hot pot restaurant, in addition to being interested, in fact, the main reason is because of Xu Mu's current major - clinical medicine of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

It's an awkward major.

When I first filled in the application after graduating from high school, I felt that I could study both Chinese medicine and Western medicine majoring, and I would definitely be able to find a job in the future.

How do you know that after entering the school, I slowly understand the inside story, and I know that it is not what I imagined at all.

Traditional Chinese and Western medicine is definitely one of the most tiring and difficult specialties in all of medicine!

For example, in the last book of Integrative Medicine, you have to bring three textbooks at the same time, "Integrative Medicine", "Traditional Chinese Medicine", "Western Medicine".

Some students go crazy directly, and they really go crazy in the middle of the night......

Moreover, Chinese and Western medicine is also one of the most difficult professions to find employment.

Even if you go crazy and study, not many units will be willing to hire you after graduation. Others simply think that students majoring in traditional Chinese and Western medicine are half a bottle of water.

Xu Mu heard that many professional brothers and sisters have encountered such a scene when looking for a job:

"What is your major?

Chinese and Western medicine!

Ah, I'm sorry, we don't accept Chinese and Western medicine.

I ......"

Over time, there was a saying in the academy: If you are promoted to an official and make a fortune, please go another way;

Xu Mu's vision is quite far-sighted, and he is also relatively self-aware. His professional knowledge is very average, if nothing else, after graduation, it will definitely be no fun to enter the county-level hospital, most of them can only open a black clinic by themselves, and he is worried every day.

So from his sophomore year, he started trying to write.

But the industry is too unstable, there is no guarantee at all, unless it can become a god, otherwise this industry is not a long-term solution.

So after saving the money, he opened the current hot pot restaurant.

Hot pot is the most popular delicacy, and as long as it doesn't taste bad, it's basically impossible to lose money in a densely populated place like a school next to a school.

The Four Seasons hot pot store is not big, only 200 square meters, but it has been open for nearly a year, except for the three months of winter and summer vacations, the net profit income of each month is usually more than 30,000 yuan!

So in the eyes of the students, Xu Mu is simply the representative of the winner in life, when they are still confused about the future of life, Xu Mu has no worries about food and clothing, and can enjoy the waves.

It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

According to Zhou Miaomiao, Xu Mu should have encountered a water reversal recently.

An urban book that had good grades before, but just halfway through writing, I encountered a river crab beast and was killed. Later, he changed the category to write Xianxia, and he didn't want to do two books in a row, and he could only rely on receiving full attendance every month.

Even the hot pot restaurant, which was originally booming, was robbed of most of its business because of a well-known chain hot pot restaurant opened not far away.

It's half past six in the evening, and the students have already finished class, which is the best time for the hot pot restaurant to do business.

If it had been, the dozen or so tables in the store would have been full, and there would be customers queuing up at the door to call the number, but now the attendance rate is less than half.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure walking on the road with a high rate of turning back stopped at the door of the hot pot restaurant, looked at Xu Mu with a smile and asked, "How is business today?"

This woman is Zhou Miaomiao, the partner of Xu Mu hot pot restaurant, and his roommate who rents a house off campus.

Since Xu Mu started writing, he often typed the keyboard code words late at night, and in order not to disturb his roommate's rest, he rented a house outside the school after receiving the first manuscript fee.

Zhou Miaomiao is not a classmate or alumnus of Xu Mu, but a student of civil engineering and architecture at Rongcheng University of Technology next to it.

It's strange that generally speaking, there are very few female students majoring in civil engineering, and even if there are occasional beauties, there are no beauties, and Zhou Miaomiao is an exception. In addition to the slightly flat chest, whether it is appearance, temperament, or those long and slender legs, she is definitely a goddess at the level of a college flower, and she can't see the breath of a science and engineering girl at all, but is more like a soft girl majoring in broadcasting, dance, and music.

When Xu Mu met her for the first time, he fell for her.

She told Xu Mu that she was a student at the Conservatory of Music, and that there were a large number of beauties like her in the class. As long as Xu Mu can bear an extra 100 yuan in rent, she will introduce her classmates to Xu Mu as girlfriends.

Xu Mu was completely deceived by this woman's beautiful appearance, defenseless, and easily deceived.

Later, every time I thought about it, I burst into tears.

This woman did introduce the female classmates in the class to Xu Mu, but Xu Mu swore with his life that there are absolutely no beautiful women! Most of them are women with tigers and bears, where can Xu Mu be blessed!

"What else, the same old way. Xu Mu sighed.

"I'll just say that the name of our shop is not good, it affects feng shui, and you still don't believe it. Why don't we change the name of the store and change the feng shui?" Zhou Miaomiao suggested, standing at the door of the store and greeting the guests with Xu Mu.

She was dressed very cool today, with a simple white shirt on her upper body, a pair of light blue skinny jeans on her lower body, and high heels, which set off her straight legs more and more slender. Coupled with the perfect appearance, there is a certain attribute bonus in soliciting customers.

But after all, opening a restaurant is not opening a massage parlor, no matter how beautiful the proprietress is, if the taste, dishes and other aspects are not as good as others, it is useless.

", it turns out that our business is not very good, is this entirely because of Shuxiang Pavilion?" Xu Mu said angrily.

This woman doesn't know where she learned it, she is very feudal and superstitious, she has dabbled in the constellations of the West and Feng Shui of the East, and she has a lot of talent.

"Then why don't we also do some activities like them, send out some coupons, discount coupons or something?" Zhou Miaomiao suggested again.

"It's also a palliative, not a cure. Even if you can attract customers with discounts during the event, what if the event passes? Xu Mu shook his head in denial.

The two stood at the door and chatted for a long time, and they didn't pull down the guests, Zhou Miaomiao suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's go to the Shuxiang Pavilion next to us today to taste the taste, and see how they are better than us?"

Xu Mu frowned when he heard this, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although as a competitor, it is very embarrassing to go to the opposite store to eat. But in order to understand the enemy, I can't care so much.

Zhou Miaomiao was not so entangled, and when she saw Xu Mu agreeing, her face was completely excited and eager to try. She doesn't feel ashamed to eat at a competitor's restaurant, and she's happy to be able to eat good food.

A true foodie attribute.

"It's still AA. Zhou Miaomiao did not forget to add.

The two have known each other for more than two years and have always had a clear financial separation.

After all, they are business partners, and their brothers also have to settle accounts.

And although Zhou Miaomiao is a little bit of a fan of money, she usually pits Xu Mu, but she is actually a very principled woman. Just like going out to eat, she will never let men pay the bill as a woman, and it has always been an AA system.

......

......

The business of Shuxiang Pavilion is indeed very good, it is better than when the Four Seasons Hot Pot was dominant, and there were already more than a dozen tables in front of Xu Mu and Zhou Miaomiao when they went.

This is the benefit of joining a brand store, after opening a store, you don't do anything, you have a reputation, you have a reputation, and you will have a good reputation, and the customers will naturally have it.

When Xu Mu and Zhou Miaomiao opened the store, they also considered whether to join a brand chain store, but unfortunately the franchise fee of the slightly well-known brand was too high, and the two couldn't afford it. So I had to go to the master to learn some skills, and then I chose a good hot pot base supplier in the market.

Nearly half an hour later, the two finally got their turn.

"The taste is really good, no wonder we can't compare to other people's ......" Zhou Miaomiao frowned and sighed, and soon changed her words, looked at the pot with bright eyes, and said: "Let's eat first, and then go back and discuss it slowly after eating." ”

After a while, her plate was filled with a full plate of dishes, and at the same time she shouted: "Waiter, another plate of duck intestines and hairy belly!"

Eat with pleasure and never miss it.

Xu Mu secretly hated it, she was really a worthless woman!

But I have to admit that whether it is the taste, service, and dishes, they are all better than my own hot pot restaurant. But even if you understand the problem, it is difficult to improve and correct it, which is the most painful.

"Is it really going to close?"

Xu Mu thought a little melancholy in his heart.

After eating for nearly an hour, Zhou Miaomiao finally put down her chopsticks and said that she was full, and she didn't know how her thin body ate so much food.

"I'll pay the bill, just give me your prestige red envelope later. Xu Mu called the waiter to settle the bill.

How do you know that Zhou Miaomiao suddenly shouted: "No!"

In Xu Mu's puzzled eyes, Zhou Miaomiao unhurriedly took out a five-fold roll from her bag, handed it to Xu Mu and said, "Well, this is for you to take to the checkout......"

Xu Mu was at a loss: "What is this?"

"My meal money, 50% off coupons! I also received a coupon when they opened, but I never had a chance to use it. This time I finally used it, and it was not wasted. Zhou Miaomiao said happily.

"......" the corners of Xu Mu's mouth twitched.

And this kind of operation?
