Feng Danyuan asked her: "First, tell me how to do this business?"
Wei Zi replied: "Make a 'buffet'." However, it is different from the dazzling array of modern food. This time it only focuses on "ten dishes" and the others are paired with some simple finished dishes.
Feng Danning asked curiously: "What is the 'buffet'?"
Wei Zi simply explained: "Usually when guests come in to eat, we charge according to the dish; for a 'buffet', on the contrary, guests can eat whatever they want in the lobby. As for the charges, they are charged per head, and each person counts as one."
Feng Danning's eyes lit up: "As soon as you come in, all the money will be collected. This is a good idea!"
Feng Danyuan also admitted that Wei Zi's idea was very creative, but there were still some questions that he was waiting for Wei Zi to answer.
Wei Zi did not disappoint him and continued: "To make a 'buffet', we have to solve three problems first."
"First, what's the price? I need to ask the Third Prince to do some calculations on this matter. How much price can we set to achieve the highest profit and be acceptable to the customers?"
"Second, the food is attractive enough. The Third Prince and all the chefs have approved these ten dishes, so I think this problem has been solved for the time being. I will think about how to make it better in the next two days."
"Third, how do we let everyone know about the 'buffet' and how do we get everyone to come and eat? This is the most urgent thing at the moment. My idea is to walk on three legs: first, ask gourmets to comment, and second, write it in words and pictures
The completed paintings were distributed to several wealthy shops in the imperial capital, and the third was publicity in the stores."
The more Feng Danning listened, the more interesting she became: "As for the third question, does Miss Wei San have any good suggestions?"
Feng Danyuan glanced at him: "Do you usually do business like this?" Although he also wanted to hear Wei Zi's advice.
Feng Danning chuckled: "I am full of confidence now. With Miss Wei San's creativity and ideas, my restaurant will definitely be able to turn around beautifully!"
Feng Danyuan said leisurely: "Then what do I want you to do?" Wei Zi thought about everything!
Wei Zi couldn't help but said: "The Third Prince has a lot to do."
Feng Danyuan was speechless. Couldn't she tell that he was complaining on her behalf? He was so sincere that he fed the dog!
Wei Zi really couldn't tell, so he asked Feng Danning straightforwardly: "Who is the most famous 'foodie' in the imperial capital?"
Feng Danning replied: "My father."
Wei Zi: "..."
"another."
Feng Danning thought for a while and said, "Deng Lao, former Minister of the Ministry of War."
"Can we invite him here tomorrow?"
"I'm not familiar with Mr. Deng..."
Feng Danning turned around and asked Feng Danyuan: "Brother, can you invite Mr. Deng to come tomorrow?"
Feng Danyuan glanced at him: "Why should I help you?" When running errands, he thought of him? Is he the errand runner?
Feng Danning gritted his teeth and said, "Invite Mr. Deng here and give you 10% of the profit."
"10%?" Feng Danyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Twenty percent." Feng Danning continued to bleed.
Feng Danyuan remained silent.
"Thirty percent! Is 30% enough? Brother, please help me!" Feng Danning almost cried.
"Deal." Feng Danyuan replied calmly.
Wei Zi silently shook his head: He even cheated his own brother out of his money, it’s so dark, it’s too dark!
However, the 30% of the profit should really be given to Feng Danyuan. After all, this errand is not just about this one thing.
"Look for some scholars who can write well and can draw. The more the better, they will be useful tomorrow afternoon."
After Wei Zi finished talking to Feng Danning about this matter, she turned to look at Feng Danyuan.
