In the evening, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushed the old tricycle out of the courtyard and walked along the alley toward the river just like last night.
The difference from last night was that tonight, both of them had smiles on their faces while pushing the cart.
Mainly because the good business last night gave them both a lot of confidence.
In addition, they have more than doubled the number of things in the car today.
Not only have the ingredients more than doubled, but there are also two more folding tables and eight more plastic stools.
Last night they only had three small tables, so their ability to handle customers was a bit poor.
However, Tongdao Xu only added two more tables today.
In fact, after buying these things today with the money he earned yesterday, he still has dozens of yuan left, and he can definitely buy two more tables.
Xu Tonglin also suggested this, but Xu Tongdao thought about it and decided to only add two more.
When he was working as a chef in the past few years, he noticed a very strange phenomenon. There were many beautifully decorated stores on the street, but diners often didn't come in. However, those with dirty storefronts did very well.
And... the business of a late-night snack shop he once worked for was very good, very good. During the peak season, the turnover in one night could reach tens of thousands, and the store was very small, just a common roadside restaurant.
That kind of store.
The boss made a lot of money, so he wanted to make the store bigger. After several months of searching, the boss leased a large hotel not far away that could no longer operate. The annual rent was 200,000, and the four rooms were connected together.
The store is large, and there are several rooms at the back that are used as kitchens, washrooms, warehouses, and cold dish rooms.
At that time, Tongdao Xu went to the new store as an old employee. His salary and various benefits were also increased, and his life was better.
But what about the boss?
Within a few months, the boss regretted it.
Because the store has expanded more than four or five times, the increase in customer traffic is not very obvious.
A few months later, the boss no longer regretted it. He had already started to lose his hair. After the first few months of opening, the customer flow became less and less. Not only did it not increase, but the customer flow was even lower than when he was a small store before.
few.
Then, a year later, the boss quit in time, did not renew the lease of the big store, and found a new small store to continue operating.
But it's still too late. After experiencing the bleak popularity of big stores, if you open a small store, the diners will no longer be as popular as before.
Tongdao Xu analyzed the reasons.
Why did the originally good business of a small store turn into a big one, so quickly became bleak?
He analyzed many reasons, one of which was that he felt that after the store became larger, the visual experience given to diners was different.
Originally, it was a small store, and when a customer came in, in the eyes of passers-by, this store was popular.
If there are two tables of customers dining in the store, to passers-by outside the door, it may mean that the business of the store is okay. If several tables in the store are full, it gives the impression that the business of this small store is good.
Very popular!
But after moving to that big store, the feeling is completely different.
The store is too big. Even if there are seven or eight tables of customers sitting in the store, it still gives the impression that the store's business is average. If you encounter a few tables of customers who like to sit in private rooms, the entire hall will look even more empty.
Became popular.
Once a store gives this impression to too many people, how can the store continue to do business?
Tongdao Xu only added two dining tables today because of this consideration.
Too many tables are not conducive to popularity.
After all, they are a new stall that has only been open for one night. Although the business was good last night, what if the business is bleak today?
It's totally possible!
After all, the number of customers who had his barbecue last night was not very large. Word of mouth must not have spread yet, and his stall has not accumulated enough regular customers.
Under this premise, if you blindly add too many tables, you may shoot yourself in the foot.
…
Not long after, the two people pushed the tricycle to the area where stalls were set up by the river.
As a result, they saw that the place where they set up their stall last night was occupied by the bald stall that arrived first today.
The most irritating thing is that the place where Baldhead set up his stall last night is obviously empty at this time.
"Hold the grass! Xiaodao, is this bald man bullying us? Does he think our business was good last night because the feng shui of that land is good? That's why he occupied our place tonight?"
Xu Tonglin was so angry that his face turned red.
"Do you even need to ask?"
The smile on Xu Tongdao's face faded and his expression turned cold.
"Then what should we do? Should we go over and snatch it back?" Xu Tonglin suggested.
Comrade Xu looked at the smiling bald head coldly for a moment, then looked away and continued to push the tricycle forward.
"No! Since he doesn't want to admit that his bad business is due to technical problems, let's help him prove it tonight!"
Tongdao Xu said calmly, and already pushed the tricycle to the place where the bald man set up his stall last night, so that their stall was right between the two stalls of the bald man and the fat man.
"Haha, good! It's so enjoyable!"
Xu Tonglin's eyes lit up and the smile returned to his face.
When the two of them worked together to set up the stall, Xu Tongdao soon discovered another problem - the bricks that he went to the riverside to find last night to lay under the oven were all missing tonight.
He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the bald head not far away.
It is estimated that 80% of the time it was thrown away intentionally by the bald man.
This bald man really seizes every opportunity to bully them!
Simply childish!
Do you think you can squeeze out your competitors with this little trick?
Comrade Xu smiled at this and did not go over to question the bald man. Firstly, he had no evidence, and secondly... they came here to set up a stall to seek wealth, not to seek anger.
Moreover, he had prepared a lot of ingredients tonight. If he went over and had a fight with that bald man now, all of his ingredients would be wasted.
By tomorrow, he won't have enough money left to prepare so many ingredients.
The days are long, we’ll see!
Xu Tongdao narrowed his eyes, said hello to Xu Tonglin, then turned around and went to the river to look for bricks.
"Coward!"
Before leaving, Comrade Xu heard the fat man at the stall next to him sneer and utter these two words with disdain.
When Comrade Xu heard this, he paused slightly and turned back to look at the fat man coldly.
The fat man didn't look at him, he just had a sneer on his lips.
…
When Xu Tongdao went to the riverside to find a dozen bricks and prepared to light a fire for his oven, the three stalls on the left and right began to receive customers.
Just like last night, there were still no diners at his stall.
Xu Tonglin couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to Xu Tongdao and whispered: "Xiaodao, why are we still like this tonight? Why don't you hurry up and bake eggplants! Let's see if we can attract some customers like last night.
