In fact, when Li Qi learned that he was going to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, he had already expected that Zuixianju's business would definitely decline. Because the incident was too sudden, he did not have time to explain too much. Now it seems that the situation
It was worse than he imagined.
Yelu Guyu didn't know much about Li Qi, so when he saw his expression changed drastically, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and whispered: "Deputy Commander, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and said with a smile: "It's okay." Then he said to the bartender: "Bartender, give us a bowl of sausages too."
"Hey, gentlemen, please wait a moment."
After a while, a strange fragrance hit my face.
The bartender put a plate on the table and said with a smile: "Guests, please take your time."
The four of them looked at the plate at the same time, and saw that the plate was mainly made of gold, supplemented by green. The gold was pig intestines, and the green was garlic. The gold and green were intertwined together, and coupled with the bursts of fragrance, Yue Fei was tempted.
He kept swallowing his saliva. Li Qi saw that this sausage was not the traditional one made of pork and large intestine, but made of pig intestine alone, and there were not too many seasonings, just some garlic. He thought, look.
The secret is all in the large intestine.
Ma Qiao raised his eyebrows and stared at the bowl of sausage: "This sausage is so strange, why is it golden?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the man in gray clothes next door yelling vaguely: "Hmm, um, um, this sausage is really delicious."
Another person said: "How? I introduced you correctly, right?"
Li Qi frowned slightly, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed it for a while. The taste was salty and rich in wax aroma. He only went into his nostrils. The aroma was mellow and palatable. The taste was mellow and chewy. Eat it.
It will whet your appetite. It will leave you with a long-lasting aftertaste and it will be extremely delicious.
"Huh? This sausage is really good."
Ma Qiao ate a piece of sausage, nodded, and asked Li Qi: "How was this sausage fried, and why is it so crispy?"
Li Qi said angrily: "Are you asking me this? You can't see for yourself. Isn't it just fried with garlic?"
Ma Qiao wondered: "Is it that simple?"
Li Qi explained: "Of course it's not that simple. The key to this sausage is not to fry it, but when she makes the sausage, it should be marinated first, and it will already be flavorful. It can be said to be a finished product. Now this dish
Anyone who knows a little bit about cooking can make the dishes."
The bartender heard this and said with a smile: "This guest is really awesome. You can tell just by tasting one piece. The guest is right. I bought this sausage from Jinlou. I just need to add some garlic and fry it."
.”
Li Qi smiled and said: "I just heard you say that there seems to be other cured meats?"
The bartender smiled and said: "Well, there are a lot of them, but our shop is a small business. The customers are mainly passers-by, and they come and go. Some cured meats are not cost-effective to sell in our shop, and the price is too high.
I won’t go out. The price is low and there is no profit, so this sausage and some cured chicken offal are suitable for our store.”
These days, few people like pig offal and chicken offal, so the prices are very cheap.
Li Qi hummed and said, "Is this what the people over at Jinlou told you?"
The bartender groaned and said, "How do you know?"
Li Qi chuckled: "Guess."
The bartender said in surprise: "Sir, you are really good. You can guess it right away. You are right. This is what Jinlou told us, and they also helped us calculate the cost based on the information in our store."
, tell us the best price to sell it for. Unfortunately, our store is relatively small and cannot join Jinlou’s chain store.”
"Chain chain store?" Li Qi said with a surprised look on his face.
The bartender said: "Well. Now it's not just Zuixianju that has a chain store. Of course, Jinlou's chain store still can't compare with Zuixianju's chain store. After all, Zuixianju's canned roast duck is quite good, haha, but
Small shops don’t have the money to buy those.”
Li Qi raised the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's interesting."
The bartender said hello and left.
When Li Qi came to his senses, there was only an empty plate left in front of him, and Yue Fei had already eaten a big bowl of rice. I have to say that this sausage was really good to eat.
After meal.
Li Qi and others walked out of the store, took a look at the sky, and ordered: "Maqiao, take Bone Desire to my house in the western suburbs first. Yue Fei, follow me to Zuixianju."
Since he still didn't know what was going on in the capital, he didn't want Yelu Guyu to show up yet.
"yes."
.
Li Qi and Yue Fei rode towards the city quickly. After these days of practice, Li Qi also had Yelu Guxu, and the careful guidance of Yue Fei's two famous teachers, his riding skills have improved greatly. As for Ma Qiao
This kind of pervert, if he didn't have the ability, anyone who listened to him would usually die sooner.
By the time the two of them arrived at Bianhe Street, it was almost midnight.
I, Hu Hansan, am back again. Seeing this familiar scenery, Li Qi felt much more at ease. After walking for a while, he saw someone closing the door in front of Zuixianju from a distance, so he quickly speeded up.
"Hey, bartender, are you still doing business?"
"I won't do it anymore. If you want to eat, come early tomorrow. It's Brother Li."
The bartender subconsciously replied, and when he looked up, he saw Li Qi looking at him with a smile on his horse, and he immediately shouted in surprise.
Thump thump thump.
Following the sound of footsteps, several more people were seen rushing out of the room.
"Is Brother Li back? Where is Brother Li?"
The first person was Tian Qi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Li Qi was overjoyed and jumped off his horse and said, "Tian Qi, when did you come back?"
Tian Qi chuckled: "It's been almost a month."
Li Qi glanced around and saw that the people around Tian Qi were all the same people who went south with him. They were all familiar faces, which made him very happy. He put his arm around Tian Qi's shoulders and said, "Let's go inside and say
go."
When he came inside, he looked at the counter at first glance and said, "Huh? Has Uncle Wu gone back?"
Tian Qi said: "Sister Qi'er asked Uncle Wu to go to the group company to help. He rarely comes here for several days. Oh, sister Qi'er also asked me to take over the management of Zuixianju from Sister Xiaoyu."
Li Qi nodded, pulled Tian Qi to sit down, and asked, "By the way, how are things going south?"
Tian Qi nodded excitedly and said: "Brother Li, I'm afraid you won't believe it if I tell you. If you hadn't strictly restricted us to only sell a small amount in each place, we would probably have sold out before Jinling."
A person behind him said: "Well. At first, people in some places didn't know the benefits of this canned meat, so they didn't buy it. Later, after tasting the benefits, those people came to chase us in boats. At that time, we thought we had encountered robbers.
But it scared us to death.”
Tian Qi chuckled twice, and then continued: "We first arrived in Hangzhou and stayed there for half a month. Then we went to Jinling. Huang Wenye not only played tricks on us, but also worked very hard to help us set up the store. However, he
Not only did we write the name of Zuixianju on the banner, but we also wrote the name of Jade Cuixuan. I don’t think it’s a big deal, and he also helped us a lot, so we didn’t stop him.
This gives them a huge advantage. Not only did their Feicui Xuan branch in Jinling do a lot better with our canned meat, but they also managed to gain access to three nearby restaurants."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I have expected this. How much did we earn this time?"
Tian Qi said excitedly: "The net profit is almost 70,000 yuan."
He originally thought that this number would make Li Qi excited, but he didn't expect that Li Qi just responded lightly and was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that the price was set by Li Qi, so he naturally had confidence in his heart.
Li Qi asked: "Have you ever met Dazhu and the others?"
Tian Qi nodded and said: "Yes. We met Brother Dazhu and the others on the way back. They were much more relaxed than us. I heard Brother Dazhu said that they had never disembarked at the docks along the road. Those businessmen knew that we were drunk.
The canned food from Xianju is here. I’ve been waiting there for a long time.”
"That's good."
Li Qi nodded and asked again: "By the way, how is the business in our store recently?"
As soon as these words came out, Tian Qi and others were speechless.
Li Qi hummed and said, "What happened?"
Tian Qi shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, but since you left Beijing, my store's business has not been as good as when you were here."
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly said vaguely: "Tian Qi, Brother Li, you are back."
Li Qi turned around and saw Wu Xiaoliu holding a big bowl and looking at him in horror. He smiled and said, "Xiao Liuzi, do you have a good appetite?"
Only a whooshing sound was heard.
Wu Xiaoliu flashed in front of Li Qi, put his face close to him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Li, you are finally back. Liu Zi misses you so much."
Li Qi felt nauseated and pushed Wu Xiaoliu's oily face away with his hand, "Go, go, go, don't make me sick, okay? By the way, I was just about to ask you, just now Tian Qi said that our store
The business is not what it used to be, how did you become a chef?"
"It's unjust."
Wu Xiaoliu said hurriedly: "Brother Li, you really can't blame me for this. You don't know that Zhang Chun'er is so treacherous. As soon as you left, their Jinlou immediately put out some cured meat and said it was high quality and low price. The guests at that time
They were all deceived by her, and she launched ten new dishes at once. Xiaozhu and I were no match for her and Guda, and Sister Qi'er did not allow us to launch new dishes, saying that nowadays it is very
During this period, we cannot act rashly, for fear that we will destroy the signboard of Zuixianju, so we can only watch as Jinlou steals our customers."
Li Qidao: "Then have we taken any countermeasures?"
Wu Xiaoliu shook his head and said: "No, at first my uncle saw that Jinlou's cured meats were selling so cheaply and our chain store business was not as good as before, so he wanted to lower the prices of canned meat and roast duck, but Sister Qi'er said that now
In the interests of the group company, if the price of canned food is lowered, it will affect business with Xixia and other countries. Also, the customers our canned meat targets are wealthy people, and our canned fruits and vegetables have not been affected by
Influence, so there is no need to fight with them. Also, Brother Li, you don’t know that Jinlou also imitated us to open some chain stores. This made Mr. Fan very anxious. He went to see Sister Qi’er almost every day, but Qi’er
My sister said that Zuixianju is just a part of the group company, and she must consider the overall situation. I heard from my uncle that the two of them had a lot of quarrels over this matter."
Is it Qiniang again? Li Qi frowned and said, "What about Madam? What did Madam say?"
Wu Xiaoliu said: "The letter you asked Anan to bring last time didn't mean to let Sister Qi'er sit in your car. Now the entire Zuixianju Group is decided by Sister Qi'er, even my wife and my uncle have to
Listen to her."
Li Qi glanced at him and said, "Liuzi, you seem to be very dissatisfied with Qiniang's arrangement."
Wu Xiaoliu trembled all over and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, I didn't say that. I have always respected Sister Qi'er, but hey, it's better when you are here."
Tian Qi said: "Brother Li, don't listen to his nonsense. At that time, Sister Qi'er said that he wouldn't be allowed to introduce new dishes, but he didn't listen. As a result, Sister Qi'er was almost kicked out of Zuixianju. And Sister Qi'er
It’s not that she doesn’t care about Zuixianju, it’s just that she said that as for Jinlou, as long as you come back, big brother, all the problems will be solved, so there is no need to talk to Jinlou.”
Wu Xiaoliu glanced at Tian Qi resentfully, blaming him for not snitching, and then quickly changed the subject and said: "Brother Li, we have been suppressed by Jinlou these days, you have to help us vent our anger.
.”
Li Qi sighed and said: "I'm not a god. I can scare the enemy to death as soon as I come back. Besides, I have more important things to do now. Let's leave it like this for now and talk about it in a few days." (To be continued.)
