Chapter 159: Plan Ahead
After taking a bath, Xu Tonglu had no clothes to change, so Xu Tongdao took a set of his own clothes to him, and Xu Tonglu, who had changed his clothes, didn't stay in their room for long, and took the key to Ge Lianghua's room next door.
As a result, only Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin were left in the room.
The two tacitly sat cross-legged on the bed, face each other, and began to count the money.
Count how much you earned tonight.
This is the most relieving thing for them to be tired of the day, no matter how tired they are, as long as they count the money they make in a day, the physical exhaustion will be offset by the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in their hearts.
Because it's hope.
No matter how tired they are physically, as long as they can see the hope of persevering and improving their lives, they can continue to persevere.
The money they earned tonight, poured out of the money box and piled on the sheets, was obviously a lot more than when they had set up the stall before.
Cause?
The number of tables is one reason, the number of dishes is also the reason, and the ...... The fact that there are so many more types of alcohol and beverages is also a reason.
As we all know, the drinks in the restaurant are very profitable.
Some restaurants even deliberately squeeze the profits and prices of their own dishes to attract customers, and then make money by selling alcohol.
In the past, when setting up a stall, Xu Tongdao and they had a display cabinet, which had to put both food and wine, because the space was limited, and naturally there was not much wine.
But now that they've opened a store, they've bought an extra second-hand liquor display case, which is full of drinks, and there are three kinds of beer alone.
Drink...... The more common drinks on the market are now all brought with them.
In addition, there is also a wine cabinet behind the bar, on which are all kinds of liquor.
These things, as long as they are placed in the store, do not need them to bother much, and what the customers want, take it to the profit.
And the profit is higher than the profit of any dish.
Especially for liquor, a bottle of liquor for twenty or thirty yuan is a common thing to earn 50%, or even 60% of the profit.
There is also the mutton soup that Xu Tongdao specially made today.
That big vat of mutton soup will sell fifty or sixty bowls tonight, maybe more.
The price he set was not high, one dollar a bowl, then it was sold for at least fifty or sixty yuan.
The two sat on the bed, skillfully tapped the money, straightened out some crumpled banknotes, and after a few minutes, all the money was counted, Xu Tonglin held a wad of money in his hand, and looked up at Xu Tongdao.
"Xiaodao, I have 538 yuan in my hand, how many do you have in your hand?"
Xu Tongdao smiled and stretched out his right hand in front of him.
Xu Tonglin habitually put the money in his hand in Xu Tongdao's hand, Xu Tongdao took out two of the hundred-yuan bills, and also took out a few hundred-yuan bills in his hand, put them together, and said lightly: "733."
Xu Tonglin smiled, tilted his head and snapped his fingers there, muttering and calculating, "How much is 538 plus 733, I'll do the math......"
"1271? Xiaodao, we didn't count wrong, did we? We really earned so much tonight?"
Xu Tongdao lowered his head, and was still there to sort out the money, the face value was the same, he sorted it together, and then took a wooden clip and put it back in the money box.
"It's not early, go to bed early, and wake up early tomorrow." ”
As he spoke, Xu Tongdao yawned.
But Xu Tonglin was still in the excitement, "More than 1,200 yuan! This, this is nearly 1,300 yuan, Xiaodao, Xiaodao, then how much do you say we can earn in a month? More than 3,000? No, no, no! At least more than 30,000 yuan? Hold grass! So much? We are going to make a fortune? Xiaodao, we are really rich!"
With that, he excitedly stood up on the bed and walked around the bed.
Xu Tongdao rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Sit down! Don't collapse the bed." ”
This old-fashioned wooden bed is not as sturdy as it looks, and the bed boards are all wooden strips one by one.
"Oh, oh, what a ......"
Xu Tonglin hurriedly sat down, but his expression was still very excited, "Xiaodao, we can earn more than 30,000 yuan a month, this, I have a 10% share, so calculated, I can earn more than 3,000 a month......?" Ha ha...... Great, great! When I have money, maybe my dream will come true!
Xu Tongdao was a little speechless.
Because Xu Tonglin said his dream when he took a boat back to his hometown with him before - to earn more money, eat more delicious food, and ...... Sleep a few more women.
Seeing that he was so excited, Xu Tongdao couldn't help but pour some cold water on him, "You don't calculate the account like this, we have rent now, and we have hired two waiters and a dishwashing aunt, as well as the cost of water, electricity, ingredients, etc., if we want to remove all these costs, that is the profit of the two of us." ”
Unfortunately, he poured too little cold water.
Xu Tonglin was stunned, and then became excited again, "That's okay! We earned more than a thousand today! Even if we have those costs, we can still make a lot of money, right?"
Xu Tongdao couldn't see him so carried away, and couldn't help but say again: "Then it can't be that the business is so good every day, such as rainy days, and also, it's the second half of the year, the weather will get colder and colder, and when the weather is cold, the number of people who come out to consume at night will definitely be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, maybe we may lose money, don't be too happy." ”
Xu Tongdao's words are not nonsense.
He had really heard of some restaurants before, because the main dishes were seasonal, such as spicy crayfish, in the summer, the business was very hot, and he could earn two or three hundred thousand yuan in a few months, but in winter, he would lose money every month.
In comparison, a barbecue is a little better than a spicy crayfish.
At least the barbecue is not seasonal.
But when it gets cold in winter, business will also be much lighter, to be precise, once it's cold, the entire catering industry will be affected.
Especially for late-night snacks.
Because once it is winter, no matter whether the sun comes out during the day or not, whether it is warm or not, at night, it will be very cold.
Many people who like to go out for a late-night snack will discourage the idea of eating late-night snacks because it is too cold outside.
Even......
Xu Tongdao thought of the hair salons, dance halls, bathing centers and other entertainment venues on the red light street where their barbecue restaurant was located, and he felt that when it was really cold, the physiological needs of many men would also be affected by the weather and weakened.
When the time comes, let alone supper, it will be a beauty...... will also drop dramatically.
Xu Tonglin was still excited, still with a happy smile on his face.
And Xu Tongdao thought of what he had just done, and at this time he was already thinking about waiting for the cold weather, should his barbecue restaurant adjust its business direction?
He thought he could try.
It is foreseeable that when the weather is cold, the number of diners who come to his store every night will definitely be greatly reduced, but if he can increase the total consumption of customers at each table by adjusting the direction of his business, then the monthly profit of his small store may not drop too much.
It is even possible to go against the market.
How to adjust the business direction...... He also suddenly thought.
