Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Like this, you bring me ten pairs of burgundy travel shoes, five pairs each in sizes 3,6,37, and I will take them to my work unit on Monday and sell them to my colleagues. When more people wear them, we will spread the propaganda from person to person. , in a few days, travel shoes will become another trend in our city."

The second aunt also said: "Bring me ten pairs too. Some of my colleagues asked me. Of course I can't miss such a good publicity opportunity."

Xu's mother said: "Then you give me fourteen pairs, five pairs each of sizes 3,637, and two pairs each of sizes 3,538, and I will sell them to my colleagues."

She is a biological mother, so she cannot sell for less than her two aunts no matter what.

Seeing that several people were starting to compete with each other, Xu Wanning hurriedly said: "Thank you, eldest aunt, second aunt, and my mother. You can still try to bring me business when you go to work. But we don't have to do this. If anyone wants to buy, you can tell me I can just tell you, you don’t have to go out of your way to sell it.”

"Oh, just give us the shoes and forget about anything else!"

Xu Wanning had no choice but to promise to bring the shoes everyone wanted when she came tomorrow.

The next day, business at No. 2 store was as good as ever, with a turnover of about 100 yuan higher than the first day.

Mainly because people come to eat roasted whole lamb.

They were the first table of customers to enter the store yesterday. The three of them brought their own families. The three families gathered nearly twenty people. In the end, a roasted whole lamb was not enough, so they simply added a roasted suckling pig.

Logically speaking, the roasted whole lamb comes with five meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes and eight cold dishes, and the roasted suckling pig comes with two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and four cold dishes. Xu Huajing made the decision and gave three more whole meat dishes, for a total of fifteen dishes.

The sour plum soup comes with unlimited refills. As long as it runs out, Xu Huajing will ask the waiter to refill it.

The sour plum soup used in the store is the pink crystal drink that Xu Wanning got. A large bag can make dozens of cups, and a large bag only costs more than one yuan. This cost is almost negligible.

After the roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig were served, people at the surrounding tables gathered to watch, and many people threatened to come and eat a roasted whole lamb or roasted suckling pig.

Therefore, on the third and fourth days, not only did the business of No. 2 store not slow down, but the number of customers eating whole roasted lambs and roasted suckling pigs increased, and the turnover also increased steadily.

This grand occasion lasted for a week. It was not until the second week that customers' consumption decreased, but the daily turnover was stable at around one thousand yuan.

Since the food giveaway event was canceled starting from the fourth day, the cost has shrunk significantly. The net profit of one thousand yuan can reach about three hundred yuan.

It's just that no one is paying attention to the copper pot shabu. After a week, there are no more than 20 tables of customers eating copper pot shabu. Evenly divided, there are only seven or eight tables of customers every day.

On Friday afternoon, after class, Xu Wanning went straight to the No. 2 store and sat with her aunt to do the accounting.

Xu Huajing showed the account book to Xu Wanning and said: "After this week's observation, I found that everyone generally prefers to eat roast mutton. Although the mutton is a bit tangy, it tastes better than roast suckling pig. In this week, just... We sold more than 30 roasted whole lambs, basically five or six every day."

"But we only sold about twenty roast suckling pigs."

Business was so good that half of the cost was recovered in just one week, but Xu Huajing was not very happy.

"Aning, a roasted whole lamb sells for 100 yuan, and a roasted suckling pig costs 60 yuan. Even though there are many families in Beijing who can afford it, there are few people who can eat like this. Our business is good now because of the roasted suckling pig." Whole lamb and roasted suckling pig are both new things, and everyone is very enthusiastic about them. But after a while, people don’t like eating them anymore, and our business plummets, what should we do?”

This is what Xu Huajing is most worried about.

"Business will slow down, which is inevitable. If our No. 2 store wants to continue to prosper, we will inevitably have to make some reforms and add some new dishes."

"Our No. 2 store now mainly specializes in barbecue. In addition to roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig, what other special dishes can be added? You have chickens, ducks and geese in your farm, let's roast chicken? But roast chicken is also It’s not delicious!”

"To make roasted chicken delicious, cooking techniques are very important, and there are so many cooking methods. In addition to roasting, we can also fry it. Chicken is the most suitable for frying."

"In addition to roasted chicken and fried chicken, we can also stew goose in an iron pot."

"Big goose stewed in an iron pot? I seemed to have heard of it when we were celebrating the New Year in Black Province, but I have never eaten it. Is it delicious?"

Xu Wanning nodded: "I think it tastes delicious."

For people in the 1980s, as long as it was food they had never eaten before and it was not too unpalatable, it was delicious.

And Xu Wanning is confident that the goose stewed in iron pot at No. 2 store will definitely be popular.

"In addition to grilled chicken, fried chicken and goose stewed in iron pots, we can also work hard on copper pot shabu-shabu."

Xu Wanning said: "Copper pot shabu shabu is also a specialty of Beijing. If nothing else, there are two copper pot shabu shabu sellers on our street. And the No. 1 store also has authentic Sichuan hot pot. In comparison, our copper pot shabu-shabu does not have any special features, so it is normal for people not to choose it.”

"But the pots used in our copper pot shabu shabu are specially customized, so we can't let it go to waste, right? So I plan to change the copper pot shabu shabu and let's eat it in a new way."

Hearing this, Xu Huajing suddenly became interested.

She couldn't wait to ask: "What new way to eat? An Ning, tell me quickly, what new features will our No. 2 store have?"

"There is a special way of eating hot pot in Shanxi Province, called dry hot pot. As the name suggests, the difference between dry hot pot and traditional hot pot is that there are fewer soup ingredients, which is a bit like a dry mix. The characteristic of dry hot pot is that it is a copper pot There is only a small amount of soup in it, and it is simmered over low heat to keep the ingredients hot.”

The ingredients can be arranged in layers according to the different habits of each dish, and customers can eat them layer by layer.

Eating hot pot in this way not only ensures the most delicious taste of the ingredients, but is also fun while being delicious.

Customers who are accustomed to eating copper pot hotpot will definitely be unable to stop if they come here occasionally to try other specialties.

"In addition to the dry hot pot from Shanxi Province, we can also make local hot pot."

"Earth hot pot? What is this? I have never heard of it before. Could it be a hot pot made of earth?"

Can it be eaten?

Xu Wanning explained with a smile: "Actually, there are two ways to eat local hot pot. One is the way to eat it in Haicheng. The bottom of the pot is usually made of mutton clear soup with a little sauerkraut. There is no need to add red oil or other seasonings, and the soup has a clear color. , the taste is natural and mellow, and the refreshing taste of sauerkraut is perfectly combined with the deliciousness of mutton.”
