Shen Dapeng nodded, "You're right, it's hot pot after all, and everyone is here to eat, not to drink medicine."
"Our Xiaohetang hotpot is spicy and three delicacies. Putting these small Chinese medicine packets into the hotpot base will not only not offset the original flavor of the hotpot, but also, after eating the hotpot, you can drink a few more mouthfuls of it.
Soup can dispel cold, keep warm, regulate yin and yang, and enhance resistance, why not?"
Li Zeyu talked eloquently, and became even more enthusiastic when he said this, "Eating hot pot not only brings enjoyment to people's taste, but also has these health care functions. Do you think it can attract people to come and consume?"
"Listening to what you said, it sounds like that..."
Sun Dapao took a breath, and then grabbed Li Zeyu's arm, "Big Head, then open a branch quickly, set up a table for us to try it first, and check it for you. I want to see how this Chinese medicine hotpot is.
What does it smell like?"
"No problem. When it opens, I will be the first to ask Brother Pao to give it a try, check it, and give me feedback!"
Li Zeyu smiled and patted Sun Dapao on the shoulder and said excitedly.
"This is a good idea, but there are some aspects that need to be paid attention to. For example, the proportion of nourishing medicinal materials in the traditional Chinese medicine package needs to be done by professionals."
Shen Dapeng very much agrees with Li Zeyu's idea. In this way, it is estimated that it can attract a large number of customers.
However, he did not forget to remind Li Zeyu that he needed to pay attention to some details.
"Don't worry. Didn't Wang Yuying find an old Chinese medicine practitioner to study the recipe for preparing medicinal drinks for her aunt? I told her by the way to help get this Chinese medicine package..."
Shen Dapeng pointed at Li Zeyu and smiled slightly, "You really are your boy. Since you are all ready, it seems that my worries are a bit unnecessary. Once the concept of traditional Chinese medicine nourishing hot pot is launched, our Little Lotus Pond Hot Pot will become popular again.
?”
"That's necessary. At least it will be much more popular than this one now. I estimate that by then, not to mention that the seats will be full of people eating, there will be a whole street lined up just waiting to eat!"
Li Zeyu's face was filled with excitement. When he talked about his happiness, he turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, "What university will you go to when the time comes? Just count the money every day."
"Counting money? I'm afraid my hands will cramp when I count the money."
Lin Xiaoxiao curled her lips and whispered, but she couldn't hide the happy look on her face.
"Oh, one family is really happy and the other is sad." Sun Dapao looked at Li Zeyu, then at Lin Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but sigh on purpose.
"Some people are afraid of hand cramps when counting money. I want to count it, but where is the money?"
Sun Dapao spread his hands and showed a helpless look, which immediately made everyone laugh.
"Dapaozi, as long as you are determined to make money, are you afraid of losing money if you follow Brother Peng?" After Li Zeyu smiled, he pointed at Shen Dapeng and said to Sun Dapao.
"That's what I said, but the money is earned too slowly. Unlike you, your hands cramp when you count money every day..." Sun Dapao still looked aggrieved.
"Okay, money is earned slowly. Although Big Head makes more money, doing business is not as risky as working. If this Chinese medicine hot pot is not recognized, it will not be as simple as counting money every day.
"
After listening to Shen Dapeng's words, Sun Dapao thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.
"It is indeed the case. We are not willing to take that risk. It is better to follow Brother Peng An An and live happily. At least we feel at ease, right?"
"It's good if you think like this, big head. Just kidding. You want to open a branch in Beijing to innovate. I basically have no objections. You must control the traditional Chinese medicine package. Keep in touch with that old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Don't come here.
If nourishment is not achieved, it will harm health, and then the gains outweigh the losses.”
Li Zeyu nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Peng, I'm more concerned about this than you are. I'm in contact with you every three days."
"That's good, one more thing, I still say what I said, hot pot ingredients must be fresh!"
Shen Dapeng knows that in the catering industry, customers must eat fresh and delicious ingredients. If there is any problem with the ingredients, it will be like shooting oneself in the foot.
"Like the one we just went to, what Dapaozi said is indeed true. Some vegetables are indeed not too fresh, so there are not as many customers as this one." Shen Dapeng pointed to the hall as he spoke.
Li Zeyu smiled slightly, took a sip of wine and said: "Brother Peng, Xiaohetang Hotpot has always adhered to this principle. Even if the taste of the soup is average, the ingredients must be fresh so that customers can feel at ease and satisfied."
"Also, before I came here, I had already contacted several farmers growing vegetables near the suburbs of Beijing. When the branches open, I can order fresh vegetables from them as soon as possible, or lease the land from them and grow all kinds of vegetables myself.
Green dishes.”
Shen Dapeng couldn't help but be startled, "You guys are really prepared for a rainy day, it seems you are well prepared!"
"This is necessary." Li Zeyu smiled slightly, "I calculated an account. If we order directly from vegetable farmers or grow it ourselves, the price of vegetables will be much lower than the market price. The vegetables are fresh and the cost has been reduced.
Not much."
"Big head, your brain really didn't grow so big in vain, you are so smart!"
At this time, even Sun Dapao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Li Zeyu.
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
Li Zeyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched his head.
"When it comes to hurting others, it depends on who you are targeting!" Sun Dapao couldn't help but shook his head, "The middle-aged manager before was definitely going to do a lot of damage. What about you, we are brothers, can I hurt my good buddy?
"
"Ha ha……"
Li Zeyu suddenly laughed and patted Sun Dapao on the shoulder affectionately. He is such a good buddy. I like to hear this! Otherwise, if you don't hurt the boss of this place again later, you might be able to get a free order."
"This..." Sun Dapao was stunned.
"Big Head, why are you here again?" Shen Dapeng smiled bitterly, "Don't dare to make this joke again. What you just said is very good. It saves costs and ensures freshness and environmental protection. Now people are fine
This bite."
"Yes, there are basically no problems now. The most important thing for me when I come here this time is to find a suitable store. The location of this store is not good, and it will have a great impact on the business."
When Li Zeyu said this, he frowned slightly.
Although Beijing is a first-tier city with a large population, when opening a hotpot restaurant, location selection is also very important. You cannot just pick a random place to open it, but you must also consider the flow of people, store rent, consumption level, etc.
"It doesn't matter. It's open wherever there are more people. Like this food street, can it be opened?" Shen Dapeng said calmly, "You just need to grasp two points. Look for places in popular business districts.
Shops, in addition, the store rent must be appropriate and within an affordable range. If it is ridiculously high, it will not be worthwhile.”
