It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Luo Yanning brought Du Enya to Lidong Dumpling Restaurant.
This time point happens to be a small dining peak of the day in the dumpling restaurant.
Several newly hired waiters in the dumpling restaurant were busy carrying trays in and out.
"Yanning! Xiao Du, I feel like something good is going to happen this afternoon. It turns out there are a lot of distinguished guests."
Wang Liyan, who was settling accounts at the service desk, looked up and saw Luo Yanning at the door, and hurriedly welcomed her out of the service desk with a smile.
Luo Yanning smiled and greeted, "I've been a little busy at work in the scenic spot these two days and haven't paid much attention to it. How's the business going, sister-in-law?"
Wang Liyan smiled and said: "Very good, very good, Yan Ning, Wei Dong and I will really treat you someday. Thank you for finding us such a good place."
Lidong Dumpling Restaurant has been open for less than a month, and its daily turnover has already reached a terrifying 20,000 yuan.
Wang Liyan and Wang Weidong did some calculations. In addition to rent, raw materials, and labor costs, the dumpling restaurant's daily net profit fluctuates around 15,000.
The floating range does not exceed 1,000 yuan.
Based on this profit rate calculation, theoretically, the dumpling restaurant can earn 450,000 yuan a month.
Wang Liyan and Wang Weidong never dared to think that they would earn 45W a month.
When I opened a decorative materials store in the urban wholesale market, I only made 230,000 yuan a year.
Wang Weidong and Wang Liyan were able to successfully switch careers this time, all thanks to Luo Yanning's help.
The couple's gratitude to him is also sincere.
Moreover, Wang Weidong and Wang Liyan also knew very well that the success of the Dumpling House today was absolutely inseparable from Luo Yanning's appeal.
Nearly half of the customers who come to the restaurant to dine every day come because of the friendship between Wang Weidong and Luo Yanning.
Luo Yanning said with a smile: "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Why don't you treat me to a dumpling meal today?"
Wang Liyan said with a smile: "Just eating dumplings is not enough! At least we have to arrange it in a five-star hotel, otherwise others will think that Wei Dong and I are stingy and stingy when they find out."
Luo Yanning said: "Sister-in-law treats me as an outsider by saying this. It's too foreign to talk about this between us."
"That's right, let's not talk about that." Wang Liyan smiled brightly and made an invitation gesture to Luo Yanning and Du Enya, "Yanning, Xiao Du, you two come with me to sit in the small restaurant in the back kitchen where our employees eat.
, it’s also convenient to talk there.”
"That's fine." Luo Yanning nodded. There were many people in the store and it was noisy, so it was really not convenient to talk.
The three of them walked and chatted, heading towards the kitchen.
"Sister Yan, why don't you see your brother-in-law today? You two were inseparable every time I came here before."
When Du Enya said this, she secretly glanced at Luo Yanning who was walking beside her, her words full of envy for Wang Liyan.
Wang Liyan smiled and said: "Your brother-in-law and Director Luo went to the village to look at homesteads."
"Going to the village to look at homesteads?" Luo Yanning was slightly surprised after hearing Wang Liyan's words.
Wang Liyan smiled happily and said, "Yes, we are going to build a house in the village and we will live in the village permanently from now on."
Luo Yanning was a little dumbfounded and said, "Isn't it right, sister-in-law? These days, people in the village are trying their best to run to the city, but you two are running from the city to the countryside instead?"
"What's so strange about this? We will most likely open a dumpling restaurant here for the rest of our lives. It's so tiring running dozens of kilometers to the city every day."
Wang Liyan said with a smile: "Besides, I feel that living in the village is no worse than living in the city. First of all, the living environment is much better, there is no car exhaust, and there is not so much noise.
Every night after get off work and dinner, I go for a walk along the landscape avenue, it’s so relaxing.”
"Yeah, I think it's good to live in the village. The supermarket in the village has everything. The vegetables sold are not only fresher than those in the big supermarkets in the city, but also cheaper."
Du Enya echoed from the side: "Moreover, things like clothes, cosmetics, etc. can be purchased online and delivered in three or two days.
The biggest difference between living in the village and living in the city may be that the medical conditions are worse and the educational conditions are worse. Other than these two things, there is really no big difference."
"Medical care and education are indeed the shortcomings of our village..." Luo Yanning nodded in agreement.
The village doctor in Luojiazhuang can also treat minor illnesses such as colds and fevers, give some medicine, and give injections.
In case of even the slightest emergency, you have to be sent to the county hospital.
As for rural education, it is incomparable to those good schools in the city.
The teachers at Luojiazhuang Primary School are basically old teachers who are about the same age as Liu Xiaocui.
Few young people are willing to go to the countryside to teach.
There are too few young people like Xu Kejing who are willing to contribute to rural education.
"Yanning, Xiao Du, you two sit down first, while I go to the kitchen to prepare two dishes."
Wang Liyan took Luo Yanning and Du Enya to a small room in the back kitchen and turned around and walked out.
Inspired by Wang Liyan and Wang Weidong, Luo Yanning also began to think about building a small villa in the village.
The housing land in the village is much cheaper than the housing prices in the city, and it doesn’t cost much to build a small villa.
Du Enya waved her hand in front of Luo Yanning and interrupted: "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Yanning came back to her senses and looked at her young apprentice and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was thinking about building a house in the village."
"It's great to build a house in the village! If I have nothing to do in the evening, I can go to your place to visit and have a meal or something."
Du Enya's eyes lit up after hearing Luo Yanning's words, and she applauded his decision.
Of course, visiting and having dinner were just excuses. Her real purpose was to have more time to learn the art of making clay figurines from Luo Yanning.
Luo Yanning has been busy with things these past two days. She not only has to deal with some important matters in the scenic spot, but also is busy shooting videos.
There was absolutely no time during the day to teach her little apprentice.
After work, he ran faster than anyone else and couldn't touch anyone.
Du Enya has long had a problem with him as a "hands-off master".
"When I make enough money, I will also go to Secretary Luo to buy a piece of land and build a new house in the village."
Du Enya put her arms on the table, held her chin in her hands, and said with a longing look on her face:
"Having a home of my own and cleaning it every night when I go home will definitely give me a sense of accomplishment."
When she said "I can have my own home", Luo Yanning saw Du Enya's eyes light up.
Du Enya and her younger brother Du Enze lost their parents when they were young. The two sisters have been living with their grandfather in an old house that is older than his grandfather.
Old houses age more slowly when there are people living in them all year round. When no one lives in them, the aging speed seems to double.
Not even a year after the old man passed away, the old house suffered small-scale cracks and collapsed, becoming a dangerous building.
The siblings now have neither relatives to rely on nor a home to settle down in.
Du Enya has always lived in the dormitory wherever she went to work.
Du Enze usually lives on campus, but during the winter and summer vacations, the village cadres will free up a room for him in the village committee to stay temporarily.
Every time during the New Year and holidays, the siblings who live in the village committee office often feel very sad when they see other people's homes putting up window grilles and Spring Festival couplets.
Saving money to build a house has become Du Enya's most urgent dream.
Sometimes I dream that I live in a newly built house, and when I wake up I realize it was just a dream.
Luo Yanning paused, looked at Du Enya and asked: "Xiao Du, when I was chatting with Director Liang, I heard that there have been many foreign tourists staying overnight in Luojiazhuang recently.
There are also several B&Bs for tourists in the village, and the business is quite good?"
Du Enya nodded and said: "Yeah, the hotel I'm staying in has been full every day recently. If I go there late, there will be no room. The little boss is thinking about where to open a branch."
"I feel like this is an opportunity."
Luo Yanning said seriously: "Our scenic spot is now in a stage of rapid development.
Moreover, I have also invested heavily in new media to advertise the scenic spot to attract traffic.
There will be more and more foreign tourists visiting our scenic spot in the future.
Moreover, according to the observations and analysis by Mr. Shui and I, many tourists in the county also have the need to travel on Saturdays and Sundays.
Almost every household in Baiyun Town has a B&B, which is a ready-made example.
Although the competition will be fiercer when there are more B&B businesses, each household can earn tens of thousands more yuan in a year.
At present, the competition in our scenic spots is not that fierce, and those who enter the market first to start a B&B will definitely take the lead, and even if they cannot make a lot of money, they can still make a little money."
Du Enya blinked her innocent eyes and said with a speechless expression: "Master, why are you telling me this?
You don’t think that your apprentice is taking advantage of the money, right? Let alone building a B&B, I can’t even afford a homestead now.”
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "You don't have it. Your master, I have it. I can lend it to you."
When Du Enya heard Luo Yanning's words, she shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no.
My grandfather has taught my brother and me since we were young that we should never borrow money from others unless absolutely necessary."
"Those are the old ideas of old people." Luo Yanning smiled and said in a persuasive manner, "Do you think the person who runs a business now doesn't get a loan from a bank?
Opportunity is a very mysterious thing. It is often fleeting. If you cannot catch it, others will catch it.
Let’s just talk about the B&B we just talked about. If you wait until you save enough money to do it, it will definitely be over.
At that time, Luojiazhuang was probably like the one in Baiyun Town, where every household was a B&B, and competition had entered a fierce stage.
If you want to enter the venue at that time, you can only drink a little bit of soup and water."
"But..." Du Enya felt that Luo Yanning was right, but she was still confused.
Even in rural areas where land prices are extremely cheap, it costs a lot of money to build a B&B.
It would be fine if the B&B can make a profit after it is built, but if it suffers a loss...
"Hmm..." Luo Yanning thought for a while and said, "In this way, Xiao Du, we can cooperate in other ways, make profits together, and bear risks together."
"Other ways of cooperation? Sharing profits and sharing risks?"
Du Enya looked at Luo Yanning in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Luo Yanning patiently explained: "The specifics are like this. I will invest money to help you build a B&B, and you will be responsible for running it. Before the part of the money I contributed is paid off, 70% of the income from the B&B will belong to me, and 30% of the income will belong to you. When I invest the money,
After the money to build the B&B is paid off, 70% of the income from the B&B will belong to you, and 30% of the income will belong to me.”
When Luo Yanning and Wu Mingshi opened a printing factory together, they used this cooperation method of sharing profits and sharing risks.
"In this case... I don't seem to have to take any risks, right?" Du Enya quickly discovered the deviation of this cooperation method and asked, "What if, I mean what if... What if the B&B loses money, no?"
What should I do if I make a profit? Then Master, wouldn’t you suffer a big loss?”
"I am very optimistic about the B&B business and think it can make money. If I lose money, it means I have poor vision. If the investment fails, I will admit defeat."
Luo Yanning said with a smile: "If the investment is successful, I can get a long-term meal ticket."
"So you want to trick me into giving you a meal ticket!" Du Enya pouted, not angry, but she felt very warm and sweet in her heart.
Although she is not very old, she has experienced many more things than the average person, and her mind is much more mature than her peers.
She knew that Luo Yanning said so many words just to get her to accept his help.
As for sharing the benefits and sharing the risks, they are just excuses.
Luo Yanning nodded her chin towards Du Enya and asked: "How do you like it? Do you want to consider it? There is no such store after this village."
"I..." Du Enya looked up at Luo Yanning and nodded solemnly, "Deal!"
Luo Yanning said with a smile: "Then it's settled. I'll tell Director Luo about the homestead. I'll find someone to design the B&B. You just have to be a good housekeeper for me."
"Yeah." Du Enya nodded happily, already beginning to look forward to the highlight moment when she became the proprietress of a B&B.
"What were you two talking about? You were chatting so enthusiastically."
Wang Liyan came in carrying two plates of exquisite side dishes and greeted the two of them with a smile.
Luo Yanning said: "I just talked to Xiao Du about setting up a B&B in the village."
"Ah! Yan Ning, this time we have the same idea! I was talking about this with Wei Dong last night!"
When she heard that Luo Yanning was going to open a B&B, Wang Liyan immediately became interested. She put the side dishes in her hands on the table and sat down on the seat next to Luo Yanning.
"In the past few days, I have been listening to the chatter of the villagers eating in the store. There are already seven or eight families in the village who use their own houses to set up B&Bs to entertain tourists..."
Wang Liyan talked a lot, and finally concluded: "I think the same as you. The B&Bs around our scenic spots still have great prospects in the next few years."
"I am confident that the Heilong Mountain Scenic Area will be developed into a 5A scenic spot. By then, more and more foreign tourists will come to the scenic spot, and the demand for accommodation will become more and more strong." The source of Luo Yanning's confidence is all based on [Super
Scenic Area System].
Wang Liyan said with a look of joy: "Then there's nothing to hesitate about! Wei Dong and I will follow you!"
