It happened that the boss brought the noodles over at this time. He looked down at the noodles on the table, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes!"
"What's the idea?" Qi Lixin asked quickly. He felt that his breathing had stopped for fear of disturbing Brother Kai.
Xia Zekai said: "You know the mutton steamed buns, right?"
Seeing Qi Lixin nodding, Xia Zekai said: "We won't make mutton steamed buns, that would be too troublesome, but you can make a variation, mutton steamed buns, do you understand?"
"Don't you know how to make fried pancakes? You usually make more and cut them into small pieces. When the time comes, put them in a bowl and make them directly into mutton pancakes. Then add some green cabbage leaves, vermicelli, and shredded kelp.
Add tofu leaves and so on, and that’s it.”
"Also, Lao Qi, please remember the most important point, eat as much as you can. Who are the people eating here? Migrant workers. They are so hungry just thinking about eating more after a day's work. You
Don't worry about dividing it into large, medium or small portions, just a big bowl, put more cakes, how to put the mutton depends on your cost, and you need to calculate the cost separately. You let people see the benefits, but the cakes are not worth it anyway.
It’s valuable, I think there’s a lot to be done!” Xia Zekai became more and more excited as he talked, as if he had already made a fortune.
"By the way, you have to do some research to make this cake durable enough to soak, strong enough and delicious. No matter what you do, you have to make it unique. If you don't have any uniqueness these days, it's useless!" Xia Zekai emphasized emphatically.
got this point.
Qi Lixin listened very carefully. After Xia Zekai finished speaking, he asked: "Brother Kai, do you think this is okay?"
"Haha, I have never worked in catering. You are more professional than me when it comes to cooking, but you are not as good as me when it comes to business management. I watched you for a while and felt that you were in the wrong position and didn't understand the market from the beginning."
Xia Zekai pointed to the restaurant where they were eating: "Why do you think it does so well?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the other side: "Why do you think the fried chicken with fresh pepper over there is so profitable?"
"Lao Qi, this all makes sense. You have chosen a good positioning, and the mutton soup is also good. However, if you simply make mutton soup here, the positioning should not be clear..."
"Also, when the mutton steamed pancakes are made, change your signature. Don't be so flashy, just make it simple and more down-to-earth." Xia Zekai gave him earnest instructions.
Qi Lixin was confused again and asked: "Brother Kai, what does grounding mean?"
"..." Xia Zekai was speechless and explained it to him with great effort. Seeing that Qi Lixin half understood, Xia Zekai was too lazy to continue.
He said: "That's it, it's getting late, hurry up and finish your meal and go home."
Ten minutes later, Xia Zekai finished his meal and went to pay. The two of them spent a total of 10 yuan, which was still a large portion. With such a shop next to it, how many people would go to Lao Qi's place to drink mutton soup.
For migrant workers, if they can save a dollar, it’s all money!
After coming out of the Ban Mian shop, Xia Zekai said the last words to him: "Lao Qi, you must remember that in the beginning, you can do it in the name of offering discounts, and the mutton biscuits must not cost more than 5 yuan a bowl.
, let’s follow the market later.”
After saying that, without explaining the reason, Xia Zekai got on his little electric donkey and left.
Qi Lixin stood alone on the roadside for a long time, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
When Xia Zekai told him, Qi Lixin understood something and what his problem was.
"We are a family after all!" Qi Lixin sighed in his heart, who can tell you this from outsiders?
He also went home happily, ready to figure out how to make this 'mutton puff pastry'.
In a blink of an eye, it’s Friday.
"Xiao Xia, fortunately, the decoration is finally finished. Do you think this will work?" Shao Xing just stood in the decorated two-story building, very happy.
Finally finished.
Xia Zekai kept coming over to watch during this period. He had watched it more than once. He said, "I can rest assured that Brother Shao will do the work. When I decorate in the future, I will have to look for you."
"Haha, as long as you are satisfied!" Shao Xinggang became even more happy and waited for this sentence.
This simple renovation cost 23,000 yuan. After deducting the deposit for the new oven, another 11,000 yuan was paid. Together, these two items were combined to wipe out all Xia Zekai’s remaining money and this week’s operating income.
He even used his wife's salary.
Xia Zekai felt guilty when he thought of his wife asking him to read the text message about the balance of her salary card with a resentful look in her eyes. He knew in his heart that there was only a small change of 300 yuan left in his wife's salary card.
"Daughter-in-law, I tell you, I will repay you double by the end of the month at most." Xia Zekai vowed.
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him: "I don't know who said that I would buy a house within a year or two. It's fine now, just eat dirt."
"-_-||" Xia Zekai did not refute.
Seeing how deflated Luo Xiyun was, he stopped nagging him.
She didn't have any other intention, so she reminded her husband not to just mess around. It was very exciting when he was messing around, but the life of the whole family would be affected.
"When will it open?"
"I'm thinking I'll have the day after tomorrow off on Saturday, take you out for two days, and open the business next Monday." This is what Xia Zekai thought.
Luo Xiyun directly overturned him: "My wallet is cleaner than my face, what a fool, let's open the business as soon as possible, it's tomorrow. It happens to be Saturday and there are many people, so we can hurry up and get some blood back."
She will soon have to live in debt, and she has no intention of playing now.
She was also puzzled. It was clear that her family's income was rising steadily, and a big change was about to happen. Why did she suddenly stop suddenly and rush towards the bottomless abyss...
Luo Xiyun is now very happy that she is working. No matter what the final result is for her husband, even if it is a loss, she still has a salary of 10,000 yuan a month to live on, which is perfect!
Xia Zekai followed suit and took a compromise measure. He said: "Then we will open tomorrow and take you to visit the neighborhood the day after tomorrow."
Luo Xiyun did not refuse this time, let him make trouble!
But I don’t know why, even though she is about to borrow money to live, Luo Xiyun still firmly believes in her husband that the future will not be too bad.
Life always has surprises.
For example, Qi Lixin, without any clue, completely listened to his cousin Xia Zekai's suggestion and changed it to mutton steamed pancakes.
Even the signboard has been changed, and a separate banner has been put up, saying that new products are on the market, discounts, 5 yuan a portion, free extra cakes, large quantities to satisfy your needs.
This is the only discrepancy with what Xia Zekai said.
He had calculated it himself. Even if it was free, he would still make some money. Now the cost of a pound of cake is only one yuan, but the question is how many people can eat two pounds of cake in one meal?
Not many of these hard-working people are so good at eating.
After the new product ‘Mutton Stuffed Pancakes’ was launched, it immediately spread in the Dazhang Labor Market.
If nothing else, the free cake was very tempting. In just a few days, Qi Lixin's business picked up immediately.
Every time he looked back at the crowded store, with some standing at the door holding big bowls to eat, he felt even more grateful to Brother Kai.
At this moment, he fully understood how valuable Kai Ge's four-word secret of "a large amount and a full control" was.
