The whole lamb feast is too expensive. The diner who just asked about the price didn't dare to order the whole lamb feast and only ordered two bowls of mutton soup.
However, starting tonight, the price of mutton soup, which used to cost only one yuan a bowl, has also increased, to three yuan.
But probably because of the high price of 188 for the whole sheep feast, the guests at that table ordered three bowls of mutton soup without much hesitation.
About an hour later, when Hou Jinbiao and others finished eating and paid the bill, they heard that the whole sheep feast they had was 188. Neither Hou Jinbiao nor Lao Zhang, nor the two beauties who came with them, had any trouble.
People say it's expensive.
Waiting for Jinbiao to pay the bill, I gave him two hundred directly.
"No need to look for it! The extra money will be treated as corkage fee for you!"
Xu Tonglin, who collected the money, had never heard of corkage fees, so he was a little confused when he heard it. He looked at Tongdao Xu subconsciously, and Tongdao Xu smiled and said for him: "Thank you, Mr. Hou!"
Hearing the word "Mr. Hou", Hou Jinbiao glanced at Comrade Xu unexpectedly, smiled, nodded, put his arms around the beautiful woman's waist, and walked away with a big belly.
"Xiaodao, what is the corkage fee?"
As soon as Hou Jinbiao and others came out of the store, Xu Tonglin couldn't help but ask Xu Tongdao.
Ge Lianghua and the two waiters Cao Min and Fang Fang didn't understand either and looked at Comrade Xu curiously.
They're all a bunch of bumpkins.
Tongdao Xu felt helpless, "Corkage fees are usually only available in big hotels. At first, the waiter helps the guest to open the wine bottle, and the guest has to pay the service fee. Later... some stores don't care whether you want the waiter to open the bottle for you or not.
You will be charged a corkage fee for bottle caps, that’s what it means.”
Ge Lianghua, Xu Tonglin and others were surprised when they heard this.
“You still charge money to open a wine bottle?”
Xu Tonglin felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.
Comrade Xu smiled and did not continue to answer.
…
That night, Tongdao Xu only sold one table of the complete whole-sheep banquet.
It was the table where Hou Jinbiao and the others were eating.
Facts have proved that the whole lamb feast costing 188 yuan per table is not easy to sell.
The temperature tonight is lower than yesterday. At the end of the night, the customer flow in his store is even lower than yesterday.
Fortunately, although the complete set of whole sheep banquet is not easy to sell, there are still several tables of guests ordering a few of the twelve dishes of the whole sheep banquet that night.
Such as lamb and scorpion pot, such as mutton steamed dumplings, such as white-cut mutton, etc.
And the price of each of these dishes is on the high side.
At midnight, the store closed. When they returned to their residence, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin counted all the money they had sold tonight.
Xu Tonglin: "Yesterday it was only sold for 127 yuan, and today it was sold for 362 yuan. Xiaodao, this whole sheep feast is indeed profitable, but there are fewer people eating it. How many can it be sold every night?"
A table would be great, what a pity! Alas, there is only one table tonight, too little!"
Yes! Too little.
Tongdao Xu also thought so in his heart.
Originally, before the cold air hit, their store had a turnover of more than a thousand almost every night.
That's really making money.
But now the cold air has dropped and the temperature has suddenly cooled down. The entire red light street is not very popular at night, and the popularity of his barbecue restaurant has suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Tonight, I sold a table of whole-sheep feast, which was a bit better and sold for more than 300 yuan.
But he was not sure that people would order his whole lamb feast every night from now on.
This is not a question of whether he has confidence in his own whole-sheep feast.
But as the weather gets colder, the overall popularity of the red light street at night has declined.
If the passenger flow is too low, no business will be easy to do.
At present, he has no better way, so he can only hold on and see.
Let’s see if his whole-sheep feast can make him more popular.
It doesn't take much, as long as two or three tables of people come to order his whole-sheep feast every night, he won't lose money this winter, and he should be able to make a little more.
It is too difficult to earn the first pot of gold after rebirth.
Tongdao Xu couldn't help but envy the male protagonists in some rebirth novels he had read in his spare time.
Everyone was reborn and returned to the past. The male protagonists in the rebirth novels he read before could always make their first pot of gold easily, but what about him, Tongdao Xu?
He wakes up early every day and works hard every day from the crowing of the rooster to the crowing of the ghost. It has been almost half a year since he was reborn, and he has yet to earn the first pot of gold he wants.
It is simply an embarrassment to born-again people.
But what can he do?
When other people are reborn, they either remember the previous lottery numbers; or they have a good family background, and when they go back to the past, they will immediately have a lot of money; or the family has a background relationship that helps the protagonist's career start quickly; or... simply computerize the human brain and understand it clearly
I remember every pop song and every hit movie...
Anyway, everyone can divide three by five and quickly earn hundreds of thousands or millions, and some even earn hundreds of millions right from the start.
In this way, it is still a small fight.
Xu Tongdao has also read some rebirth novels, where someone just returns to the past and inherits a planet.
In this regard, besides envy, jealousy and hatred, what else can he say?
Even if you want to give those winners in life who are awesome like Bikras a split, they won't be able to do it.
Despite this, he is still very confident about his future in this life.
As long as he saves his first pot of gold, it will be difficult for him to imagine being as poor as he was in his previous life.
If nothing else, even if he only adheres to one principle: save more money and buy more houses, he will never be poor in this life.
In the near future, there will be real estate to back him up!
In this life, he can safely and boldly take out loans to buy a house, and then continue to take out loans to buy a house, and the cycle will continue indefinitely.
He thought that if he really did this, when housing prices rose to the point where countless young people decided to be single for the rest of their lives, that would be the time when he, Tongdao Xu, would reach the peak of his life.
Thanks to the magical real estate, every reborn person can easily become a billionaire.
Can……
Although Xu Tongdao knew that buying more houses was a bright road with unlimited future, deep down in his heart, he didn't really want to do that.
Too much like a salted fish!
Life that can be seen to the end at a glance is so meaningless.
Of course he also likes money, very much!
But if he lived his whole life again, he was afraid that he would regret it in the future and completely waste this rare opportunity to be reborn.
But if we don’t live like this, how should we live?
He had no idea for a while.
In the middle of the night that day, he lay in bed and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the sleepier he became. Finally, when he thought about it, his mind couldn't move. He only had one thought left: If he didn't want to think about it anymore, he should get rid of poverty honestly first!
…
The next day.
During the day, Tongdao Xu was relatively free, because most of the ingredients for the whole sheep feast prepared yesterday were left, which was enough for tonight.
So, he spent most of the day sitting behind the bar reading.
Keep a cup of tea on hand and take a sip from time to time.
night……
The weather is still very cold tonight, and most of the few pedestrians who occasionally pass by on the street are wearing cotton-padded jackets or down jackets.
Comrade Xu felt that tonight was another night of slow business.
but……
In the evening, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped on the roadside in front of his store, and two men and three women got out of the car.
One of them turned out to be Lao Zhang, Mr. Zhang, who had a whole-sheep feast at his store with Hou Jinbiao last night.
