Back to the ancient restaurant

He had also prepared a few small banquets for Huang Zhiyuan before, and Li Zi'an had already figured out his taste very clearly.Although I don't know the taste of old man Huang very well, I guess it is not much different from Huang Zhiyuan's.Therefore, Li Zian boldly prepared according to Huang Zhiyuan's taste.

Maybe it's just after the new year, and everyone is busy connecting with each other, so there are more private banquets than usual.Fortunately, everyone in the hall has gotten used to it. Even if there are guests in the private room at night, because there are enough people, they are all busy.

Xu had a fat year before, and everyone didn't need to be urged to do things, and there was no laziness.Li Zi'an looked at everyone working silently, secretly thinking in his heart that if the business gets better after a while, he can raise everyone's wages appropriately.After all, to make the horse run, feeding the horse is the key.

After sending Huang Zhiyuan away, Li Zian returned to the Li Mansion with Uncle Yang and Mother Li. After a good night's rest, Li Zian came to the shop.

At this time, there were not only the hawkers who came to deliver food, but also Father Huang, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, standing at the door.Huang's father was dressed in silk and satin, and he looked out of place among several coarse clothed peddlers.

Seeing him, Li Zi'an froze for a moment, hurriedly asked Uncle Yang to open the door of the shop, and welcomed Mr. Huang in.

"It's so cold, is there something wrong with you coming here so early?"

Li Zian let people into the private room at the back, and asked Mama Li to help serve a pot of hot tea, and then asked Father Huang.

Ever since he had his first meal at Li Zian's restaurant, Huang Mingcheng was attracted by Li Zian's way of doing business.

He has dabbled in shopping malls for decades and traveled to many places, but Li Ji is the only one.Not to mention how it tastes, but this method makes people feel novel.

With people's curiosity, there will naturally be a source of customers.In addition, Li Ji remembers that the food is large and affordable, and the price is not expensive. The family conditions are average, or this kind of restaurant is naturally the first choice.

They also have restaurants and restaurants under the name of the Huang family, and they know the benefits of this kind of business.So Huang Mingcheng just ate a meal in the store, paid attention to the approximate customer flow, estimated the cost, and roughly calculated how much profit their store made every day.

However, Huang Mingcheng was completely stunned by this calculation, because Li Ji's profit for the day, even if the labor and cost were removed, would still have a profit of nearly one or two taels of silver.If you count the privately-made banquet in Yajianer at night, it would be more than a tael of silver.

There are 360 ​​and five days a year, and even if they have a one-month rest time every year, there is still a profit of 400 taels of silver every year.For such a small food shop, it can be said to be quite impressive...Of course, this is only a rough calculation, and if you calculate it carefully, it must be more than this number.

Huang Mingcheng made a rough calculation in his mind, and was so shocked by the number in his mind that he couldn't sleep anymore.Thinking that it should be feasible to apply this business model to the restaurants and restaurants under his own name.But I'm afraid that if I implement it, I won't be able to learn the essence, and instead smash my own brand.

Huang Mingcheng wandered around the yard with his clothes on for most of the night. Seeing that the sky was bright, he washed up, changed his clothes and came to Liji.I didn't expect to come here for a long time. I didn't wait for Li Zi'an, but I waited for a group of vegetable farmers first.After talking with them for a while, Huang Mingcheng realized that these people were the vegetable vendors that Li Zian had chosen to deliver vegetables to the food shop every day.

Only when there is a comparison will the good and the bad be revealed. In this way, some people want to use their brains, but they have to consider the consequences of doing so.Losing a long-term and stable big business for some petty profits, everyone knows how to choose.In this way, we can ensure that the ingredients supplied by the restaurant are the freshest every day.

In the food business, the most taboo thing is the problem of ingredients. If this kind of problem is eliminated from the root cause, as long as the price of this shop is not too expensive, the business will naturally not go bad.

After thinking about the whole matter, Huang Mingcheng only felt that Li Zi'an was definitely good for business.As long as you have enough capital and connections, your future cannot be underestimated.

It seems that his son not only greeted him a lot after going out, but also improved a lot in seeing people.

Touching the little mustache that had just grown on his chin, Huang Mingcheng nodded in relief.Thinking that when I go back next time, I must reward him well. The edited version of the Four Books I read in Lingyun Pavilion last time is good, and my son will definitely like it when I buy it back!

Huang Mingcheng doesn't like to procrastinate when doing things, and the same is true when talking about business.After the two sat down, they directly explained their intentions to Li Zian.

Li Zian didn't expect that two meals would result in a business deal. Hearing that Huang's father said that he wanted to go to another place, and instructing him in the Huang's shop, two words immediately popped up in Li Zian's mind - joining.

This mode of operation is not uncommon in modern times, but it is not so easy to implement it here.Moreover, this kind of picking is not much different from picking fruit from his own mature fruit tree, Li Zi'an still feels a little unacceptable.

Xu Shi saw Li Zi'an's hesitation and contradiction, and Huang Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Of course, Boss Li can't let Boss Li do this for nothing. You just need to help out and give advice, and I will pay you 500 taels of transportation."

Hearing this, Li Zi'an raised his eyes to look at Huang Mingcheng who was opposite, reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, frowned and looked at Father Huang who was opposite, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Huang Mingcheng thought that Li Zi'an was not satisfied with the price he offered.Just as he was about to grit his teeth and increase the price, Li Zian put down the tea cup and shook his hand at him.Huang Mingcheng looked at his movements and was completely confused.

"What does Boss Li mean?" Huang Mingcheng asked suspiciously.

"The business in my shop has just started, so I guess it's not suitable to go out for a while. Besides, the 500 taels of silver are just transportation expenses?"

Since they want to cooperate in doing business, some things must be discussed in the open.Since Father Huang was waiting at the door early in the morning, waiting for him to discuss this business, he naturally saw the profit in it.It's true that he has a good relationship with Huang Zhiyuan, but he can't take a step back just because the other party is his friend's elder.After all, he is now a businessman, so he should take profit as the criterion.

Besides, he has parents and a daughter-in-law to support, and the daughter-in-law's wealth, if he wants to support him, he must work hard to make money...

"Give me three days to think about it. After three days, I will give you an answer whether it is successful or not."

Huang Mingcheng saw Li Zian's sincere face, although he was anxious, he didn't want to rush too much.I had no choice but to nod my head, and walked out of the door step by step.

When he reached the door, Huang Mingcheng turned around and grabbed the door frame, and said to Li Zi'an: "Boss Li has thought about it carefully in the past three days. I will come back on time in three days. I hope Boss Li will not disappoint me."

Li Zian didn't know how to answer, he just smiled and sent him out the door.

At this time, the back kitchen was already busy, and even Li Xiaobao was already helping to move firewood and pick vegetables.Li Zian couldn't help sighing when he thought of Li Hongshen who was still far away in the capital.

When such a big thing happened, he didn't even have anyone to discuss it with...

……

Li Hongshen, who had already traveled to Shuyang with Zhao Yang through wind and rain, sneezed inexplicably, and Fu Guier, who was sleeping soundly in the car, woke up with a jerk.Looking blankly at Li Hongshen who was rubbing his nose, Fuguier crawled up to Li Hongshen, and arched his huge head on his leg.

Knowing that Fu Gui'er was really tired of staying in the carriage during this time, Li Hongshen comforted and patted its head.

"Don't worry, we'll be there in a day."

King Rui and his half-sister had just made an appointment, and they quickly completed the three rituals of asking names, najib, and nazheng after the year.Although Li Hongshen didn't find out exactly what happened at the banquet in the Marquis' Mansion that day, he could tell that something was extraordinary just by looking at the speed of the six ceremonies.

Without waiting for the deadline, Li Hongshen directly told his father that the schoolwork was at a critical time and it was not easy to delay, so he took Zhao Yang and the unopened cage all the way out of the capital and rushed back to Huangshi Town on the second day.

"Master, there is an inn ahead, should we stop and rest for a while?"

The two have been walking for three consecutive days with a team of guards.Now that he finally came across an inn, Li Hongshen responded immediately.

"Then rest here for half a day, let Master Zhang rest their legs and have some hot soup and rice."

Several people entered the inn and asked Xiao Er to bring hot water and soup and rice. Li Hongshen sat on the stool and stepped on the solid ground before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, we will arrive at Huangshi Town in one day. The brothers plan to return to the capital after tomorrow's arrival. Do you have anything to take along with you?"

Hearing this, Li Hong cast a deep sideways glance at Zhao Yang.

"I just came out of the house, and I have nothing to take with me, so please bring peace to my father. I have troubled Master Zhang these days, please ask Master Zhang to accept these silver taels, and let the brothers drink some hot tea on the way."

Every time Li Hongshen went out, he was escorted by Master Zhang and others. Knowing that this big man in the family was very generous and talkative, he didn't treat him politely, and accepted him graciously.

However, Master Zhang also understood what the eldest son meant. Whenever he met, he would tell Li Hongshen everything he knew about all the affairs in the mansion.There are also occasional correspondences at other times.

A group of people were about to rest after eating and drinking, when they heard a burst of chaotic footsteps upstairs.Li Hongshen looked up and saw the steward of Zhang's mansion coming down the stairs.

The two groups of people met each other abruptly and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then Steward Zhang hurriedly went downstairs with his clothes in his hands and saluted Li Hongshen.

"Why is Guanshi Zhang here?" Li Hongshen asked.

"Returning to Mr. Biao, the county government has nothing to do recently. The master took his wife and the girl to Yancheng to see the plum blossoms. He just came back here and is planning to leave for Huangshi Town. You just came here?"

"Well, cousin is still upstairs? Is brother-in-law also there? I happen to have something to talk to him about." After finishing speaking, Li Hongshen talked to Guanshi Zhang and walked upstairs.
