After taking a bath, Xu Tonglu had no clothes to change, so Xu Tonglu gave him a set of his own clothes. After changing his clothes, Xu Tonglu didn't stay in their room longer, and took the key to Ge Lianghua's room next door.
So, only Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin were left in the room.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, just like they had before when they came back from setting up a stall, they sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other, and began to count the money.
Count how much you made tonight.
This is the thing that can best relieve their fatigue during the day. No matter how tired they are, as long as they count the money they earn in a day, the physical fatigue will be offset by the inner sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Because this is hope.
No matter how tired they are physically, as long as they can see the hope of persisting and improving their lives, they can continue to persist.
The money they earned tonight was poured out of the money box and piled on the sheets. It was obviously much more than when they set up the stall before.
reason?
There are a few more tables for one reason; there are more dishes for another reason; and... there are a lot more types of drinks and drinks, which is also a reason.
As we all know, drinks in restaurants are very profitable.
Some restaurants even deliberately reduce the profits and prices of their dishes to attract customers, and then make money by selling drinks.
When setting up a stall in the past, Tongdao Xu and the others only had a display cabinet, which had to hold both vegetables and drinks. Because the space was limited, naturally they couldn't hold much drinks.
But now that they have opened a store, they have bought a second-hand wine display cabinet, which is full of wine, including three types of beer.
Drinks... They now carry all the common drinks on the market.
In addition, there is a wine cabinet behind the bar, which contains various liquors.
As long as these things are placed in the store, they don't need to worry about it. Whatever the customers want, they can just take it and make a profit.
And the profit is higher than any other dish.
Especially for liquor, it is common for a bottle of liquor to cost 20 to 30 yuan to make a 50% or even 60% profit.
There is also the mutton soup made specially by Xu Tongdao today.
That big vat of mutton soup, at least fifty or sixty bowls were sold tonight, maybe more.
The price he set was not high, a bowl cost one yuan, so it cost at least fifty or sixty yuan.
The two sat on the bed, counting the money skillfully and straightening some crumpled bills. After a few minutes, all the money was counted. Xu Tonglin held a wad of money in his hand and looked up at Xu Tongdao.
"Xiaodao, I have 538 yuan in my hand, how much do you have in your hand?"
Tongdao Xu smiled and stretched out his right hand in front of him.
Xu Tonglin habitually put the money in his hand into Xu Tongdao's hand. Xu Tongdao took out two hundred-yuan bills, took out several hundred-yuan bills in his hand, put them together, and said lightly: "733
."
Xu Tonglin smiled, tilted his head and counted his fingers, muttering, "How much is 538 plus 733? Let me do the math..."
"1271? That's so much? Xiaodao, did we count correctly? Did we really earn so much in one night?"
Xu Tongdao lowered his head and was still sorting the money. Those with the same denomination were sorted together by him, then he clamped them with wooden clips and put them back in the money box.
"It's getting late, go to bed early! We have to get up early tomorrow."
While talking, Comrade Xu yawned.
But Xu Tonglin was still in excitement, "More than 1,200 yuan! This, this is nearly 1,300 yuan, Xiaodao, Xiaodao, how much do you think we can earn in a month? More than 3,000 yuan? No, that's not right! At least
More than thirty thousand? Hold the grass! So much? Are we going to get rich? Xiaodao, we are really getting rich!"
As he spoke, he excitedly stood up on the bed and walked around on the bed.
Tongdao Xu rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Sit down! Don't collapse the bed."
This old-fashioned wooden bed is not as strong as it looks. The bed boards are made of wooden strips.
"Oh, oh, good..."
Xu Tonglin hurriedly sat down, but he still looked very excited, "Xiaodao, we can earn more than 30,000 yuan a month. I have 10% of the shares. If you calculate it like this, I can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month? Haha...haha
...It’s great, great! When I have money, maybe my dream will come true! Don’t you think so? Isn’t it?”
Comrade Xu was a little speechless.
Because Xu Tonglin told him his dream before when he took a boat back to his hometown with him - to make more money, eat more delicious food, and...sleep with more women.
Seeing how excited he was, Comrade Xu couldn't help pouring some cold water on him, "You didn't calculate the accounts like this. We now have rent, two waiters and a dishwasher, as well as water, electricity, food and other costs.
If all these costs are eliminated, that will be the profit for both of us."
Unfortunately, it seems that he poured too little cold water on it.
Xu Tonglin was startled, then became excited again, "That's okay! We earned more than a thousand today! Even with those costs, we can still earn a lot! Right?"
Comrade Xu couldn't see that he was so complacent, and couldn't help but added: "It's impossible for business to be so good every day, such as rainy days, and it's the second half of the year, and the weather will get colder and colder. When it gets colder,
The number of people going out to spend money at night will definitely be greatly reduced. By then, we may even lose money, so don’t get too happy too early.”
What Tongdao Xu said is not nonsense.
He had really heard of some restaurants before. Because their main dishes are seasonal, such as spicy crayfish, business is very booming in the summer and they can earn two to three hundred thousand in a few months.
Losing money.
In comparison, barbecue is better than spicy crayfish.
At least barbecue isn't seasonal.
But when the weather gets cold in winter, business will be much slower. To be precise, once the weather gets cold, the entire catering industry will be affected.
Especially for late night snacks.
Because once winter comes, no matter whether the sun shines during the day or whether it is warm, it will be very cold at night.
Many people who like to go out for late-night snacks will give up the idea of going out for late-night snacks because it is too cold outside.
even……
Tongdao Xu thought of the hair salons, dance halls, bathing centers and other entertainment venues on the red light street where their barbecue restaurant was located. He felt that when it gets really cold, the physiological needs of many men will also be affected by the weather and weakened.
By that time, let alone late-night snacks, the attractiveness of beautiful women... will also be greatly reduced.
Xu Tonglin was still in a state of excitement, with a joyful smile on his face.
And because Xu Tongdao thought about what he just said, he was already thinking about whether he should adjust the business direction of his barbecue restaurant when the weather gets colder?
He thought he could try it.
It is foreseeable that when the weather gets colder, the number of diners coming to his shop every night will definitely decrease significantly. However, if the total consumption of each table of guests can be increased by adjusting the business direction, then the monthly profit of his small shop will be
Maybe it won't drop too much.
It is even possible to go against the trend and rise.
How to specifically adjust the business direction...he suddenly thought of it.
