Chapter 91 Business is booming

(Uh, Chapter 88 should be the first chapter of the second volume, that’s it)

Guangyang Street, Lao Zhao’s Crayfish House.

As soon as they walked in, all the customers were dumbfounded for the first time.

What kind of place is this? It is simply a legendary mythical world, okay?

Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin were dressed up beautifully and stood at the bar to welcome every guest who came in. Many gay men even blushed and dared not look at them.

The modern bar, comfortable dining area, soft lighting, gurgling water, and shadows of trees make you feel like you are in a stream, mountain forest.

Eating crayfish in such an environment is really wild and fun.

No matter adults or children, they can't take their eyes away all of a sudden and look greedily at everything around them.

The children immediately surrounded the aquarium with shouts and screams, pointing at the various creatures inside.

"Wow! Crab! Crab! Dad, look!"

“Jumbo shrimp shrimp!”

"Turtle! Turtle! Turtle!"

Zhao Xin worked very hard to control her facial expressions.

The child's scream was really too harsh.

"What kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful!"

"This coral is colorful!"

It has to be said that the marine life aquarium aroused everyone's interest, and even adults couldn't help but stop and watch.

They carefully keep their children close to them and don't let them run around.

One is for fear that they will accidentally get hurt, and the other is for fear that they will damage the aquarium.

This thing is very valuable at first glance, and they definitely can't afford to lose it.

For a long time, these two aquariums became even more famous than the crayfish house itself.

Countless people come here with their children just to see the living marine life.

This has simply become a paradise for children in Pingyang County!

When many people grow up, they will still fondly recall the aquarium of the old Zhao Family Crayfish House. It has directly become a memory for a generation.

All employees in the store wear uniform work uniforms.

It's not completely unified either.

Half of it is orange clothes, with the words "Old Zhao's Authentic Crayfish" written on it.

Half of it is red, with the words "Old Zhao's Authentic Spicy Crab" written on it.

There are no more than 7 people in each type of clothing.

In fact, including the people in the kitchen, there are already nearly 20 people in the entire store.

After all, it is the first day of business, so we need more manpower to avoid being overwhelmed.

From now on, for normal operations, about ten people will be enough.

The restaurant is open all day long, and the customer flow is actually more even than that of the crayfish stall.

There is also a small pool dug next to the restaurant, where fresh crabs and crayfish can be kept for a few days.

In this way, if there is a heavy snowfall in winter and we cannot replenish the goods from the village in time, we can still cope with it for a day or two.

The restaurant's business hours are the same as the convenience market, closing at 8pm.

In fact, we no longer accept customers at eight o'clock, and it is usually close to nine o'clock when the last table of guests has finished eating.

It was about six o'clock, and the whole store was full upstairs and downstairs.

In such a good environment, people unconsciously ordered more food.

Those who originally planned to buy only two kilograms may end up buying three or even four kilograms.

There were also many people who were reluctant to leave after finishing their meal, so they had to order more and eat slowly.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Wenmu was a little dissatisfied with the turnover rate on the first day.

But there was nothing to be done, after all, it was so fresh inside the restaurant, so everyone unconsciously extended their meal time.

I believe it will gradually get better in the future.

This also resulted in a lot of people queuing up outside, and the queuing time was even longer.

And there was almost no one in the open air venue.

"Comrades! There are many people dining in restaurants now, and the waiting time is relatively long! If you are willing to dine outside, each table will receive a plate of edamame and a plate of peanuts!"

In order to appease those who have been waiting for too long and to divert traffic, Zhao Wenmu had no choice but to do this.

However, few people pay the bill.

People still want to eat in restaurants.

Some people even want to reserve a spot for the next day in advance.

Don’t talk about how advanced various systems in later generations are. In fact, these things have already appeared in the people’s life practice very early on.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the last table of customers left, and everyone gathered together and sat down anywhere in the store.

"Brother, business is going very well. If this happens every day in the future, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted!"

Liu Xiumei sat down with difficulty, holding her waist.

Even the most hard-working sister-in-law said this, and the others didn't even have the strength to speak.

As the boss, Zhao Wenmu had been working hard all night, and now he just wanted to lie still.

Zhao Jing, Zhao Xin and Zhang Xiaotong, who had been standing, were also rubbing their legs.

They not only have to entertain customers, but also help carry plates and clear tables.

Everyone was like a spinning top, working hard all night.

Half of the crabs and crickets originally prepared for tomorrow in the pool were gone.

Everyone cheered up and cleaned up the store before getting ready to go back to rest.

There are convenience market security personnel patrolling here at night, so there is no need to leave anyone to guard the store at night.

Zhao Wenmu's inner thought is that this era is not peaceful after all, and there is no need to take risks for some property.

If someone really breaks into the store and steals something at night, it doesn't matter if the thing is lost, but it's not okay if someone is hurt.

He rented a small house nearby, and several men went there at night.

The lesbians went to his house. There were enough bedrooms, and the only girl who often stayed here was Zhang Xiaotong.

After returning home, Zhao Jingqiang managed to finish settling the accounts.

"Brother, we sold 797 jins of crayfish and 688 jins of spicy crabs today!"

Having gathered almost the entire city’s consumption power, this number is not surprising.

It’s impossible to have such high sales every day.

However, as business policies are liberalized, a large number of wealthy people will soon emerge, and the restaurant business will only get better and better.

Crayfish costing 1 yuan a pound were a luxury item in 1980, but in 1982 it might have been considered a light luxury, but by 1983 many people might be able to afford it.

Regardless, this price will not change in the short term.

"Today's turnover is actually 1,448 yuan!"

"But after deducting all costs, the profit is only about 570 yuan."

After today's 20% discount on the dishes, edamame, drinks, etc. are not profitable, and the profit of crayfish has suddenly dropped a lot. Electricity bills are also very expensive in this era, and the cost has increased a lot since the store opened.

In the end, the profit was only 570, which seemed not much more than the profit from their stall.

Zhao Wenmu reached out and pinched her face.

The little face frowned even more tightly.

"Sister, 570 yuan is too little. You are making things difficult for me. My brother only has so much ability."

Zhao Wenmu teased her with a smile.

Zhao Jing tilted her little head to the side.

"Yes, it's 570 yuan. We couldn't earn this much for several years before."

"Oh, little brother, you are so awesome!"
