The Culinary Tycoon

In my own restaurant, I heard customers say that the food in my restaurant is not good, not only that, but also praised the opponent's restaurant again and again, and after the praise of the restaurant, he even praised the owner of the other party. Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren said: Angry as hell.

Originally, since the opening of Xiangmanyuan, the business has been good. Later, he found a way to recruit three chefs from other stores, and the business has improved a lot. In just two months, he made a profit from the cost of opening the store. back.

In the next six months, the business was even more prosperous, and he also successfully established contact with the big and wealthy households in the city.At this time, the storefront was not enough, especially the private room that only had one lounge, and lost many customers invisibly, so he wanted to build a bigger storefront.

He looked at the shop for more than a month, and then heard from a customer that the teahouse at the intersection was closed, so he hurried over to have a look. He was very satisfied with the shop and even raised the rent on his own initiative.

I thought it would be safe, but who would have thought that the store would be snatched away by Yu Qingze who owns a snack bar next door.I don't know what benefit Yu Qingze gave the teahouse owner, and even rented the shop rent to him.

His plans were disrupted, and he has never found a shop that suits him since.

The most exasperating thing is that Yu Qingze not only robbed the shop, but also opened a restaurant.From the day Jufulou opened, the business of Xiangmanyuan began to decline, and all the former regular customers went to Jufulou.

In just one month, the number of customers in his restaurant has been visibly decreasing. Up to now, it is all supported by passing merchants, and the regular customers are not very visible. I ran here because there was no room at Jufulou.

The hateful thing is that although he was very angry when he heard the words of Mr. Liao and the others in the private room, he still couldn't drive them out.

After going to the kitchen to arrange the dishes for the private room, Jia Xiaoren came to the table of the round-faced boss and the others.

"Uncle, what happened to the thing I asked you to do for me?" Jia Xiaoren asked with a sullen face as soon as he sat down.He had endured it for a month, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Hearing this, the round-faced boss glanced at his son, and then said in a low voice, "I've already told the seafood and flour sellers that if they still want to buy from me, they will definitely not dare to sell to Yu Qingze."

Jia Xiaoren's face calmed down after hearing this, and then he said: "Please be careful with them, whether my restaurant can be brought back to life or not depends entirely on you. You don't know, since the restaurant at the intersection opened, All my customers have been taken away, my business is getting worse every day, and I can't make any money at all."

If Yu Qingze's snack bar runs out of good flour, it's up to him what to do. If he uses worse flour, customers will definitely be able to eat it. If it goes on for a long time, he will definitely lose customers.At the restaurant, without seafood, some customers who like seafood will inevitably be lost. At that time, he will add a few seafood dishes...

Jia Xiaoren thought in his heart that soon Yu Qingze would be able to taste the situation of watching the guests lose without being able to recover, and a wordless pleasure surged in his heart.

The round-faced boss had a complex expression when he heard the words. He looked at the table for a while, then raised his head and said, "Xiaoren, actually, yesterday..."

"Actually, we wanted to come over to my cousin after unloading the goods yesterday." Seeing that his father wanted to talk about Yu Qingze's purchase of flour from them yesterday evening, he quickly tore off his father's clothes under the table and forcibly moved away. topic.

"Really?" Jia Xiaoren gave the father and son a strange look.

The round-faced boss glanced at his son, then nodded and said: "Yes, we unloaded the goods yesterday, and the owners of the grain and oil stores came to buy the goods. I asked them specifically, and they all said that Yu Qingze went to them yesterday, but they didn't Sell ​​him."

But we accidentally sold it to him.The round-faced boss secretly added something in his heart, and if his son didn't let him say it, he didn't say anything.

"That's very good. Please trouble uncle." Jia Xiaoren nodded with satisfaction, with anticipation in his heart, and his mood improved.

The round-faced boss and his son had lunch there, and then went back.

After returning, Achang said to his father: "Dad, you see, he blames others for robbing his customers because his business is not good, and he doesn't want to improve his cooking skills. Opening a restaurant depends on craftsmanship. , the cooks in his store are not good, but he blames the cooks in other restaurants for being too good. What's the point? He deserves it for being robbed of his business! He still plays tricks like these villains, hmph, it's really his usual style !"

"Oh, that's fine, you've been nagging all the way, can you let my ears rest?" The round-faced boss looked at his son helplessly, and sat down to take a sip of tea.I don't know why my son hates his cousin so much.

Achang got angry when he saw his father's good-natured appearance, and said, "Father, I'm going to leave the boat the day after tomorrow. Let me tell you, if Boss Yu still comes to our place to buy flour, you should pretend that you don't know him, and don't talk to the guys. You said that person is Boss Yu, you know?"

"Ahem..." The round-faced boss choked on his tea when he heard his son's words, and coughed a lot.

Achang hurried forward to give his father a hug. After patting for a long time, his father finally recovered.

"What did you say? I've been to the snack bar for dim sum, and I've met Boss Yu several times. Your cousin also knows that I know him, so how can you pretend that I don't know him?" the round-faced boss said speechlessly.

Achang replied: "Then if you see him coming, just avoid it. Anyway, don't stop him from buying flour. Think about it, we didn't see it. The guys don't know Boss Yu. If they sell it, we sell it. The goods were sold out. We don’t know the situation, and my cousin can’t say anything, right? Can he still stay in our warehouse every day?”

The round-faced boss looked at his son in shock, and asked, "Is this going to work?"

"It works! Besides, let him figure out a way to go to his own restaurant, what's the matter with pulling us to be the first bird and giving him a back?"

"..." The round-faced boss thought for a while in silence, and then asked again: "Then what if he trips us up? He has a grudge."

Achang thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "His power is on the other side of the river, so he can't use us?"

The round-faced boss shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, anyway, you know some of his methods."

Achang was silent for a while, then asked his father: "Father, do you think Jia Xiaoren is more terrifying, or Cai Mansion and Zhao Mansion are more terrifying? We are in Tongshan, don't forget."

The round-faced boss paused for a moment, and said to him, "At least the Cai and Zhao families won't do any dirty tricks."

Achang was speechless, "People can drive us out of Tongshan without any tricks."

Round-faced boss: ...

"So, dad, you have to think clearly, this is Tongshan, no matter how capable he is, Jia Xiaoren, can he stand up to Cai's and Zhao's houses? Don't be on the wrong team, and we will be buried with Jia Xiaoren when the time comes." .”

The round-faced boss stopped talking. After a while, he sighed and said, "You think it's easy. Let's not talk about it here. Have you thought about your little uncle? If we don't help him, Jia Xiaoren, he will turn around." You can sue your uncle and his grandpa and youngest, saying that we have turned our elbows, how will your little uncle be in that house in the future?"

Achang snorted and said, "The little uncle himself is also responsible. It is obvious that he and his uncle did not discipline his son well. Father, do you still remember that my cousin was only twelve or thirteen years old when he was young, so he accidentally The classmate who bumped into him couldn’t get out of bed. The classmate apologized to him, and he beat him without saying a word. Just like that, the uncle and little uncle not only stopped scolding him, but also excused him, saying that it was that The classmate was wrong and deliberately bumped into someone. I was a guest at his house at that time, and I saw him molesting a little brother, and went to touch his little brother’s chest. It’s not the fault of the father, do you think the little uncle and the others are also wrong?”

"Okay, it's not up to you to tell whether your little uncle is at fault or not. Go, go, go out again the day after tomorrow, so spend time with your husband and son." The round-faced boss waved his hand.

Achang stood up, and told his father worriedly: "You remember what I said, I will also tell him when the second child comes back tomorrow. By the way, if Boss Yu goes to buy seafood when he comes back tomorrow, don't stop him. We have to stay in Tongshan for a long time, and we have to make up for it as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to do in the future."

"Okay, okay, I understand, you go, I'm so annoying." The round-faced boss waved away people.

Seeing that his father agreed, Achang got up and went back to his small yard.He doesn't spend much time at home every month. If his father hadn't forced him to go to Xiangmanyuan today, he wouldn't have gone there. It would be nice to stay at home with his husband and son.

In the evening, in a house in the east of the city, the accountant handed over a book to Jia Xiaoren.

"Master, this is the account book of the restaurant last month, and it has been calculated."

Jia Xiaoren took it over and flipped through it, glanced at the latest page, then flipped to the front to find the records of last month and last month, and his face turned dark immediately.

"So much less?"

The accountant nodded and said, "September is a little less than August, and October is half less."

Jia Xiaoren pinched the ledger, looking at the half of the number on the ledger, he was so angry that he almost bit his back teeth.

In September, Jufulou closed down and went home to harvest within a few days of its opening, and the impact was not too great.This October, they opened for the whole month, and the impact can be seen immediately.

Although it is usually obvious when there are fewer customers, Jia Xiaoren's feeling is even stronger when he actually sees that the money in the account book has decreased.

"I see, you go down." Jia Xiaoren waved the accountant away, and walked around in the study restlessly trying to find a way.

After a while, there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Jia Xiaoren's husband came in with a bowl of supper.

"Husband, I made lotus seed porridge, drink some if you're hungry." Jia Fulang put the dinner plate on the upper left corner of the desk, and then tidied up the messy books on the desk for him.

"Understood." Jia Xiaoren replied lightly.

At this time, Shi Sheng also came over with a dinner plate. Seeing Jia Fulang, he twitched his mouth and said, "Oh, Brother Lian is here. Husband, are you hungry? I made you some snacks. Come and taste it."

Shi Sheng put his dinner plate on the right side of the desk, pulled Jia Xiaoren over, reached out and took a red bean cake and fed it to Jia Xiaoren's mouth, and asked after him, "Husband, how does it taste?"

Jia Xiaoren swallowed the red bean cake in his mouth, nodded and said: "Not bad."

"Yes, I also think it tastes much better than the ones I made before."

Then, Shi Sheng fed Jia Xiaoren one bite at a time and finished eating the snack, and then, when he was about to take it again, he glanced at the other side of the desk, pretending to have just seen another dinner plate on the table, Said: "Hey, brother Lian made this, right? It smells so good, I want to eat it. But brother Lian, don't make porridge next time. The weather is cold. If you drink porridge in the evening, you will eat porridge at night." You still have to wake up at night, it's so cold."

Jia Fulang looked at the red bean cake and frowned, and said, "Husband, eating snacks at night is not easy to digest..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Sheng suddenly covered his stomach and yelled, "Ouch—"

Jia Xiaoren hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Shi Sheng touched his stomach which was not yet obvious, and said with a coquettish smile to Jia Xiaoren: "It's okay, just now the baby kicked me suddenly, it was a little hard and it hurt a little."

Jia Fulang: ... A three-month-old fetus can 'kick' you.

"Sit down quickly." Jia Xiaoren quickly supported Shi Sheng to sit on the chair, and brought him a soft pillow to lean on.

Shi Sheng enjoyed Jia Xiaoren's service for a while, secretly glanced at Jia Fulang's expression, secretly pleased, and then said: "Husband, I'm afraid the baby will make trouble with me again at night, how about you sleep with me?"

Jia Xiaoren nodded and said, "Okay."

"It's getting late, so let's go back to the room now?"

"Okay." Jia Xiaoren helped Shi Sheng up, and then said to Jia Fulang: "It's getting late, Fulang, you should go back to your room early to rest."

After saying that, he supported Shi Sheng and left.

Jia Fulang looked at the backs of the two, a hint of disappointment flashed across his soft brows and eyes.

After returning to the room, Shi Sheng undressed Jia Xiaoren and asked, "Husband, I just saw that you were frowning, but are you worried about the restaurant?"

Jia Xiaoren nodded, and said: "After the opening of Jufu Building, the business of the restaurant has slowed down a lot. Last month's income was much lower than in August."

When Shi Sheng heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he asked: "Then, has your husband thought of any good solution?"

Jia Xiaoren turned around, nodded and said: "I thought about it, but it will take a few days to see the effect."

"What is the way?"

"Why, Sheng'er wants to share her husband's worries?"

Shi Sheng nodded, and said: "You don't sleep so late, I look worried."

Jia Xiaoren smiled, stretched out his hand to touch Shi Sheng's abdomen, and said, "Sheng'er, don't worry, your most important task now is to have a good pregnancy and give me a strong little man."

Shi Sheng smiled coquettishly, and leaned his head into Jia Xiaoren's arms.

After a while, he pulled Jia Xiaoren to sit on the bed, removed the hair crown for him, and said: "Husband, you don't need to worry so much. If you are in the catering business, something will happen, you will have a stomachache, and the customer is not careful." There was a quarrel, a fight, etc., and some cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc. were eaten, and the word of mouth was bad, and the number of customers naturally decreased, and the business was no longer possible."

Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren pulled Shi Sheng's hand, and said: "Sheng'er is worthy of being my husband's little think tank, don't worry, I have already taken action, wait a few days, and tell you the good news."

Shi Sheng was very curious, and said coquettishly: "My husband is whetting my appetite again, I can't wait, why don't you tell me quickly..."

Jia Xiaoren was overwhelmed with joy, so he told him about the matter.

When Shi Sheng heard it, he immediately said: "Husband, you are so smart! Sheng'er never thought of such a coup, it's the best strategy!"

Jia Xiaoren was taken lightly, and said with a smile: "I have been doing business for my husband for more than ten years. I haven't seen any kind of person. He Yu Qingze wants to fight against me, so he is a little tender."

"Yes, my husband is the most powerful!" Shi Sheng hurriedly chased after him and flattered him again.

Jia Xiaoren enjoyed his little husband's admiration for him very much, he said in a good mood: "Okay, come up and rest, it's getting late."

"Okay, I want my husband to sleep in my arms."

"Go, go, go."

When Jia Xiaoren and Shi Sheng were still dreaming of Yu Ji closing the door, Yu Qingze took Dasong and dragged two big wooden basins to the pier to buy seafood at dawn the next day.
