Chapter 0749 A gathering to visit relatives and friends (Part 2)
After everyone was basically here, the monitor began to greet the old classmates to get their food.
Zhou Yan didn't have high expectations for the 50-yuan buffet. It was good to have pork belly. The beef was definitely limited to a limited time. As for the high-end snowflakes and marbles, they basically wouldn't appear.
The most abundant ingredient should be cheap chicken and duck meat.
After five or six years, it is no longer a secret that beverages consist of concentrated syrup, flavoring, water, and carbon dioxide. No one would have thought at the moment that what is placed under the huge beverage machine is not large barrels of Sprite, Fanta, or Coke, but
It is the concentrated "essence" packaged in wholesale bags.
Zhou Yan, who was preparing to have a baby, spent a long time choosing among the bottled beverages and finally picked up two bottles of mineral water.
Yu Zhifei, who was following Zhou Yan in anger, stamped his feet: "I thought you were an expert, is that all?"
"Do you need me to explain to you the additives in these drinks?" Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and picked up a bottle of drink, "Sunset yellow, a third-level carcinogen, is added in small amounts and is not harmful. Aspartame, although currently
No carcinogenicity has been found, but it has been blacklisted by our company..."
"I'll go," Yu Zhifei's eyes widened, "Don't tell me that our beverage factory produces similar stuff, that's a bit lacking in virtue..."
"They must all be natural pigments and natural additives, don't worry..."
After putting the water back, Zhou Yan took the plate and picked out some fresher-looking chicken, pork belly, and fish.
Go back to your seat and wait for the others to come back before you can start grilling.
The stove uses a light wave oven, and the thinly sliced meat is placed on the cast iron plate, and it is cooked in just a dozen seconds.
Then, the entire hall began to be enveloped in the smell of Maillard reaction.
"Lao Ye, you are the head of the house, please give me a head start."
"We are all acquaintances, so I won't say much more. I wish you all a Happy New Year. May you have smooth work and progress in your studies in the new year!"
At the class reunion, everyone honestly didn’t bring any wine. Forty-eight classmates came, and each one took a sip. Even beer could knock someone down.
"start!"
Just after moving his chopsticks twice, Yu Zhifei suddenly came over: "Lao Zhou, can you give me a copy of your company's blacklist of additives?"
"What do you want to do?"
Zhou Yan looked at Yu Zhifei warily: This guy has never been a law-abiding master.
After Anxin Mall's additive blacklist is leaked, it will definitely offend a group of manufacturers that produce additives. This is what Zhou Yan doesn't want to see: destroying people and making money, like killing parents.
"Avoid lightning! I just want to avoid lightning. You think too much..."
"It's not that I'm overthinking it, it's just that you're not very honest..." Zhou Yan stared at Yu Zhifei with a smile, "These things are public within the company and can be found on the employee home website...
…”
"Hey, Lao Zhou, I have a question..." Ye Lei, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yan, seemed a little embarrassed, "Is it troublesome to open a small restaurant?"
"Business license, health license, tax registration, and personnel health certificate," Zhou Yan thought for a while, "I have never applied for the specific ones, but now the procedures have been simplified, the information is complete, and the procedures are not troublesome.
"
Ye Lei frowned and asked: "Where is the investment in the store?"
"The bulk of it is rent and decoration," Zhou Yan recalled the expenses he spent when he was a partner with Cheng Lidong. "It doesn't cost much to purchase kitchen stoves, tables and chairs, and used goods. There are so many of these things at the flea market..."
"I want to decorate it to a higher level. I can attract more customers..."
"You want to take the high-end route?" Zhou Yan felt that Ye Lei's idea was a bit unrealistic, "But, have you ever thought that in our flower garden, there is a very popular store, and people will soon imitate it. In the end, high-end
For decoration, we still have to return to the essence.
The basis of fast food profit is small profits but quick turnover.
Even high-end fast food should improve the quality of dishes and increase profit margins to make up for the loss of profits caused by the reduction in customer flow..."
Lao Ye is also a person with ideas. Seeing that he was a little unconcerned with his evaluation, Zhou Yan didn't say any more: Experience gained from suffering losses is the real experience.
Zhao Yang, who was sitting next to Ye Lei, nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, took a sip of water, and then raised his head and looked at Zhou Yan: "Old Zhou, I have two stores at home, both of which are more than 30 square meters.
If you are doing catering, what project is more suitable?”
"Making drinks, milk tea and the like is highly profitable. For food and beverages, the profit of braised chicken is relatively high. But..." Zhou Yan looked at Ye Lei beside him, "When doing catering, you have to find reliable people. Even if
These are high-profit projects, and if you don’t control the raw materials well, you can still lose money...
Another factor that also has a great impact on fast food is that the wage level in Dongyang is too low, the price of fast food cannot go up, and profits are relatively limited..."
"That's right..." Zhao Yang nodded, "With a salary of more than 3,000 yuan and a mortgage of more than 1,000 yuan, after deducting daily expenses, there are only a few hundred yuan left. Who is willing to order takeout?"
Not long after the party started, several conspicuous bags in the class began to wander around.
The leader is monitor Hao Yunchuan.
"Wish you all a happy old age and good luck!"
After a few conspicuous bags passed by in a hurry, the rest of the class began to follow suit. The other six people in the dormitory were all showmen and set off with their juices, leaving Qin Ruoshu and Zhou Yan to guard their territory.
"Husband, the food is gone!"
"You sit here first, I'll go!"
When Zhou Yan came back, his position was already taken over by Qin Ruoshu's best friend.
"Zhou Yan, please take a few minutes of your time first..."
Smiling, he put down his plate, took out his cell phone, and started browsing the consultation.
Although we have occasional contact in normal times, it is difficult for the relationship between ordinary classmates to withstand the impact and replacement of the relationship between college classmates. Many times, at class reunions, we can only lament those green times that can never be returned.
A group of girlfriends stayed there for five or six minutes and then moved their positions, while the roommates who were wandering around also came back.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, that Li Feng in our class is usually honest, but he didn't expect to become a lawyer..."
"Chi Peng went abroad..." After saying that, Zhao Yang glanced at Zhou Yan, "Old Zhou, you don't plan to go abroad?"
"Me?" Zhou Yan smiled, "Don't count on it, the company has already been blacklisted, and I can't even get a visa. If I go out, I'll just be gilded. And I'm studying aero-engines, so I can't learn it if I go out.
What is it..."
"Oh, Lao Zhou, if you don't tell me, I've forgotten..." Yu Zhifei patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder, "Your paper on N-S equations has been published in the top journal, you don't want to treat me?"
"It's been half a year..." Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "You should have told me earlier!"
"I don't believe you don't publish papers..."
Although the buffet was limited to three hours, some students left after only one hour.
Zhou Yan and others naturally followed the crowd and left. After leaving the hotel, Zhou Yan and Chang Ning discussed it and sent several others home.
After seeing off people, it was already nine o'clock, Qin's father and mother were still in Qing'an, so Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu had to stay in the hotel.
It was rare to come out to "have fun". Qin Ruoshu was a little excited at night and couldn't sleep. She excitedly shared with Zhou Yan the information she had just obtained from some of her best friends...
On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, Zhou Yan got up early and stretched out his muscles in the hotel gym. After finishing the work, he ran to the kitchen to inspect for a while, then returned to the room and asked Qin Ruoshu to get up.
After breakfast, the two went straight to their aunt's house.
