Chapter 962 Hospitality (for book friend Al Pacino
Feng Zongping drank, looked around, then looked at Bai Shan, and asked, "Where is Miss Zhou?"
"It's in the kitchen."
Feng Zongping nodded with a smile and asked, "Did the three of you work together on this shop, or did she open it alone?"
Bai Shandao: "Her family is open alone, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think it's awesome. Very few outsiders who have just entered the capital can open a shop in the capital."
Moreover, it was a pleasant time downstairs, and not a single person came to the door to cause trouble.
His grandfather is now the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and earlier he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He grew up in the capital. From his grandfather, he heard about many cases, both big and small. Among them, the most common ones were fights in the area of the capital.
Fight.
Feng Zongping looked at Bai Shan curiously. Didn't it mean that the Bai family had no backers and only one hero was Bai Qi? Let alone Zhou Man...
Speaking of Zhou Man, Feng Zongping then remembered that he seemed to have not asked Zhou Man about his family background.
Could it be that their family is the one with a good family background?
Just when Feng Zongping was about to ask again, Man Bao had already finished helping in the kitchen, washed his face and hands, and ran upstairs to greet shopkeeper Zheng Da.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da greeted her with a smile, "Your food is good and very delicious. I think the business will be good in the future."
Man Bao smiled and held up his hands, "Thank you, shopkeeper Ji Yan, are you eating well?"
"Okay, it's rare to eat food with such a strong Sichuan flavor, especially today when I met a person like Mr. Zhuang..."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da started exchanging business blows with Mr. Zhuang without a few words. Man Bao listened on the sidelines, and after they finished blowing the blows, he entertained everyone. Of course, she couldn't drink, but she could have tea instead of wine.
A toast to everyone.
From the table of Shopkeeper Zheng and others to the table of the Imperial College Superintendent, none of Bai Erlang's classmates knew Man Bao, nor did Peng Zhiru and Lu Xiaofo, but Feng Zongping did, and he greeted Man Bao particularly enthusiastically.
Then he asked: "Last time you said that a friend of yours looked particularly similar, who was he?"
Man Bao didn't expect that he still remembered this, so he asked, "Why do you have to know who he is?"
"If I don't ask clearly, I won't be able to sleep," Feng Zongping said: "I hear what you mean, I actually know that person? But I don't seem to have any impression."
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "You really know me."
When Man Bao said this, he smiled brightly and said happily: "Do you know Tang He?"
Feng Zongping:......
Yun Xinxuan and Yi Ziyang:......
Man Bao became even happier when he saw their expressions and asked, "Do you know them?"
Feng Zongping only felt his throat tightening. He coughed lightly and asked, "How do you recognize Senior Tang?"
"We used to study in Yizhou City, what do you think?"
Feng Zongping turned around and asked Yun Xinxuan, "Has Senior Tang been sent to Yizhou?"
Yun Xinxuan: "It seems so."
Feng Zongping sighed, "No wonder."
No wonder she was able to trick her in turn. She must have been tricked by Senior Tang in the past, and...
Feng Zongping glanced at Zhou Ji Restaurant, which was doing well and was safe, and asked with a smile: "Do you have a good relationship?"
Man Bao said: "General, so-so."
Feng Zongping didn't believe it. After returning home, he asked someone to find out why no one bothered the newly opened Zhouji Restaurant today.
It didn't take long for the servant to come back and said: "I asked some gangsters on the street and they said that the steward of the Yang family had spread the word and said that Zhou Ji Restaurant was run by their family, so no one dared to
Looking for trouble."
"Yang family? Not Tang family?"
"Which Tang family is the young master talking about? I haven't heard anything about the Tang family."
Feng Zongping asked, "Which Yang family is it?"
"The Yang family in Wutong Lane."
Feng Zongping was surprised. After being silent for a moment, he remembered that Senior Brother Yang from the Yang family seemed to have gone to Mianzhou?
Feng Zongping knocked his head, "They know quite a few people."
"Master, has Zhou Ji Restaurant offended you? Do you want to explain it to the officer patrolling the street?"
Feng Zongping waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That's a restaurant owned by a friend. I just want to ask more questions. Just hope it's okay."
The servant understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately smiled and said: "I understand, I will spread the word now, saying that our family is also protecting their shop and not allowing those local ruffians to cause trouble."
Feng Zongping: ...No, you misunderstood, I didn’t mean that.
But seeing the smile on his servant's face, Feng Zongping couldn't say anything to reject him. He couldn't say that he wasn't very familiar with this friend, right?
He waved his hand and let him go down.
The servant then went down to deliver the message.
As a result, Zhou Ji Restaurant got on the right track very quickly. What they had to worry about every day was buying vegetables, meat, cooking, and attracting customers.
Apart from this, they have not encountered any of the problems encountered by other newly opened stores.
After three or four days of busy work, the number of people who had been pouring into the store to eat became less and less. Only then did Wu Wulang and the others take the time to calculate the general ledger for the past four days.
Before, they were too tired. They got up early and went to bed late. They basically fell asleep as soon as they got on the bed. They had no time to calculate the ratio of expenses and income.
Judging from the accounts, they made the most money during the two days they opened. The number of guests they invited on the opening day was He Yin, and there were also many strangers who came in to eat.
There were even more people the next day, but Wulang felt that these people were not ordinary guests. They were mostly colleagues from nearby who came to inquire, but he also made a lot of money from them.
Moreover, the store door is wide open, allowing people outside to see so many people in the lobby. It seems that the food is well cooked, so it also attracts many customers.
Zhou Lijun finished the calculation, checked the money again, nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's still a profit, not counting the cost of the house."
Wu Lang said: "Then it counts labor."
Zhou Lijun then deducted the current labor costs and nodded: "It's a lot of money, 60%."
"Then it won't be much after rent, and there will definitely be fewer people as we go forward. It depends on how the repeat customers are during this period." Wuwu Lang pounded his back and said, "But I'm exhausted. Business is good and business is good.
What a difficult situation."
Zhou Lijun closed the account book and asked: "My sister-in-law said that she is looking for a way to make wine recently. When she finds it, will our family want to make wine?"
"Let's wait until she finds her."
Zhou Lijun still had great confidence in his sister-in-law and said: "My sister-in-law asked Bai Shan to go to the Imperial College to look for books, and I also took the time to go to the bookstore to look for them. I think my sister-in-law is very obsessed with this."
Wu Lang had a headache, "You said she has never drank wine, so why does she want to make wine so much?"
Zhou Lijun said: "My sister-in-law said that she saw a poem in a book that describes wine. It is very well written. What is it called? The luminous cup of grape wine. If you want to drink, I will drink the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many battles have been fought in ancient times?
