Cai Minde sat in front of the window on the fifth floor, nodded helplessly, and said: "That guy is indeed a talent. Just by saying that casually, all the guests ran to Zuixianju. It's a pity..."
At this point, he sighed and asked Huang Wenye, who was sitting opposite, "Wenye, how is the situation outside now?"
Huang Wenye replied: "Since Zuixianju launched pizza, our business has indeed been affected. Customers are now running to Zuixianju." After a pause, he added: "Master, there is something I don't understand.
Shouldn’t you say that?”
"explain."
"Master, why don't we sell our meat to Rendian Street, and why are we not planning to sell it to the three thousand households around Fanlou? Is it possible that Master is afraid that Fanlou will join forces with Zuixianju?"
"good."
Cai Minde nodded and said: "Fan Lou's status in the capital must not be underestimated. I am trying my best to give him face now. I hope he can be more knowledgeable and just stand aside and watch the show. Anyway, our meat prices are so low, even if
Even if we don’t take away Fan Lou’s business, we can sell them all. Besides, if our meat prices are reduced, they will not only follow suit. In this way, compared with Fan Lou, we will not suffer any loss. By the way, the business of other restaurants
how?"
Huang Wenye frowned and said: "Except Pan Lou who has followed us in lowering prices, other restaurants are busy making money. Although they have lowered the price of meat, they have all tried their best to raise the price of wine. This
After coming back and forth, they didn't lose anything at all, but their business got a lot better. I think they were just trying to make money, and they had no intention of dealing with Zuixianju."
Cai Minde smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. They agreed to cooperate with us at that time to deal with Zuixianju. It's because of this. Let them go, as long as we don't leave a piece of flesh for Zuixianju."
Huang Wenye nodded and said: "But in this case, they have made a profit, but we really haven't made a penny. The price of our meat is low. Moreover, the price of wine and vegetables has dropped. I'm really afraid that it will happen."
Raising tigers is a danger, especially Mr. Zhang from Yanglou. He has never been on our side. The reason why he agreed to cooperate with us this time is all thanks to you, master, using the secret of stinky tofu to sow discord between him and Zui Xianju.
relationship, and also promised him to withdraw our store’s branch in Beicheng.”
"These are nothing to worry about."
Cai Minde shook his head and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I planned to deal with them first, and then go to compete with Fan Lou, but now, the appearance of Li Qi has made me change this idea. I want to join forces first
They knocked down Zui Xianju and Fan Lou, and then slowly dealt with them. Wenye, we are doing business, you have to look further, yes, this alliance. It is true that we took the money to compensate outside,
But this will not only damage Zuixianju, but also improve our status a lot. Nowadays, all the restaurants follow our lead, so we are still the biggest winner."
Huang Wenye nodded and said, "That's what the master said."
Cai Minde sighed and said gloomily: "It's just that now the business of Zuixianju has not decreased because of this. On the contrary, everyone has gone inside to listen to the stories. Moreover, that boy Li Qi specially chose this meal time to tell, you
Tell me what this is all about."
Huang Wenye smiled slightly and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about this."
"oh?"
Cai Minde looked at Huang Wenye and said, "What's Wenye's opinion?"
"Although that pizza is delicious, the taste is still too monotonous, and it can't be drunk. Although Zuixianju is still crowded now, I think it won't take more than five days at most, and the guests will think of this meat. By then they will
It’s really difficult to ride a tiger.”
"Not bad."
Cai Minde nodded and said: "It's just that we have to sell less meat these days. If we sell less meat now, we will lose a little bit!"
Huang Wenye paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, it's not a bad thing that guests are concentrated in Zuixianju."
Cai Minde glanced sideways and said, "Keep talking."
Huang Wenye showed a sinister smile on his lips and said: "Master, we can just set up a few meat tables in front of Zuixianju, specializing in cooked meat. I believe Li Qi wouldn't dare to prohibit guests from bringing meat in. After a few days,
, let’s move this stall away.”
Cai Minde was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "This is a great plan! Haha, go and do it quickly."
++++++++++++++
Zuixianju.
It was not yet noon, but the inside of Zuixianju was already packed. Even the aisles were full of people. Some people even brought their own stools. This scene was the first time since Zuixianju opened.
The pizza is delicious, but not that appealing.
This is all thanks to Li Qi's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Yesterday when he talked about Cao Mengde's battle with Lu Fengxian, he said again, "If you want to know the details, please listen to the next chapter."
Isn't this obviously appetizing?
At that time, Gao Yanei was so angry that he almost didn't pick up the bench and rushed upstairs to find Li Qi to fight for his life. Fortunately, Hong Tianjiu, Zhao Yun and others stopped him.
However, Li Qi's excuse is that he is still writing this story, and he is still thinking about it and telling it.
At this moment, everyone was speechless and had no choice but to persuade Li Qi to spend more time writing this story and stop doing boring things in the kitchen.
When Li Qi heard this, he could only sigh bitterly.
Although Zuixianju is overcrowded, Li Qi is still in Qin Mansion, discussing with Wu Furong and Mrs. Qin how to deal with Jade Pavilion.
Now he doesn't dare to go to Zuixianju so early.
Wu Furong said cheerfully: "Mr. Li, I am really convinced by you. What you said about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really wonderful. Don't talk about those guests. Even the old man was fascinated by it. Now we are drunk
The business of Xianju has been improved to a higher level. I think Mr. Cai must be so angry that he can't even eat anymore."
Mrs. Qin also nodded, suddenly glanced sideways at Li Qi, and said, "It's just that you shouldn't have let Diao Chan marry Dong Zhuo and then be taken away by Lu Bu. Alas, such a good woman has been ruined by you."
Yesterday, when Li Qi mentioned Diao Chan's beauty trap, everyone sighed sadly, especially Mrs. Qin and Bai Qiannuo, who listened with red eyes.
Wasted on me? I think so too! But we don’t have that blessing. What on earth is this lady talking about?
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, that's just a story. Do you need to make such a fuss?"
Mrs. Qin slapped the table and said angrily: "Why am I making such a fuss? You men, for the sake of money and power, send women around like goods. Is this normal?"
Sweating! Is this lady going through menopause? Why is she so angry all of a sudden?
Li Qi argued: "Madam, you are making a generalization. I am a good man. And Uncle Wu, you see, his wife has been dead for so long, and he has not remarried, hasn't he?"
Wu Furong coughed slightly, his face turned red, and he said, "Young Master Li doesn't know something. In fact, I have two concubines in Beicheng."
"What?"
Li Qideng gasped, widened his eyes and said: "Uncle Wu, I never thought that you are still so romantic at such an old age. I admire you, I admire you." He thought to himself, it turns out that this old guy is also hiding something secretly.
Yeah. I actually made a mistake. Alas, no wonder others say people's hearts are unpredictable!
Wu Furong laughed a few times but couldn't make a sound.
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at Li Qi and said, "Uncle Wu is not what you think. Don't talk nonsense here."
"That's. That's."
Li Qi nodded, not daring to continue this topic, and said seriously: "By the way, Uncle Wu, how is the situation in Pig Killing Lane today?"
"Same as yesterday, the butchers sent the meat directly to Jade Hall and other restaurants, and then went back with the money. They didn't even go to the Pig Killing Alley."
Wu Furong shook his head and said: "But we have pizza and your Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so let him go."
Let him go?
Li Qi sighed depressedly and suddenly asked: "Uncle Wu, how was our wine sales yesterday?"
When Wu Furong heard this, he frowned and said, "We didn't sell much wine yesterday. It was a full 50% lower than before."
Li Qi sighed and said: "That pizza can only fill your stomach at best, it is not suitable for drinking at all."
"The money spent on wine accounts for more than 60% of our income. If we can't sell the wine, we won't make much money."
Wu Furong frowned and said: "Otherwise, there are still chickens, ducks and fish anyway, so we won't sell mutton and pork."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "You must not make such a mistake. I remember when I launched my first private menu, none of the dozen or so dishes on it were made of mutton, but the mutton was still selling well, and some customers even asked for it.
Let’s eat the mutton in a mandarin duck pot. What if the guests want to eat the mutton? If we let the guests know that we don’t even have a piece of mutton in Zuixianju, this may make them lose interest in Zuixianju.
Confidence, this is a taboo in a restaurant."
"What should we do? Your pizza day can only last seven days at most. After seven days, what should we do?" Wu Furong said anxiously.
Li Qidao: "Didn't I ask you to send people to look for sources of meat yesterday? How was the search?"
Wu Furong shook his head and said: "I asked people to ask in nearby towns, but the quantity of meat sellers there is not very stable. Sometimes there is more, sometimes there is less, sometimes there is not even any, and the price is relatively high.
And whether it can be delivered on time is a problem."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Li Qi squinted his eyes and said: "You should contact these retail investors first and see how many there are in total. If after seven days, I haven't figured out any other way, I will have to buy from them. I'm just afraid that they will eat so little meat."
It’s simply not enough. Alas, I’ll try to introduce some dishes made with other ingredients when the time comes. But at this price, you have to be mentally prepared. We may have to sell it outside at a loss.”
Wu Furong also had a sad face, nodded and said: "I'll go now."
Li Qi nodded and said: "By the way, you will call all the uncles and aunties later and push the cart to sell pizza outside, especially around the foot shop near Jade Pavilion. If the price is lowered, the old fox won't let us.
Even if he has a good life, he doesn't want to sleep peacefully."
At this moment, Chen Anan suddenly ran in shouting, "Brother Li, it's not good, it's not good."
Could it be that Cai Minde has made another move?
Li Qi's expression tightened. After Chen Anan entered the room, he hurriedly asked: "Anan, what happened?"
Chen Anan said nervously: "Gao Yanei and Young Master Song had a quarrel."
Li Qi looked relaxed and said angrily: "If they quarrel, let them quarrel. What are we doing?"
"No---no, they were quarreling in our store and almost started fighting."
"What!"
