Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

Back home, Gong Lu took this time to sort out the "orders" in the ○ letter group, and sent them out for customers to confirm.

It is reasonable to say that everyone is at work during this time period, and few people will squat in the group to read the news; but seven days is enough for the group members to understand Gong Lu's approximate daily schedule, and they are all waiting for him to give the final report. Confirmed orders are sent out.

The chicken feet in the supermarket today seem to be of good quality, so Gong Lu calculated the quantity and bought more, and the number of places was five more than before.The person who happened to be in line was so happy that he couldn't help but stand up and say a few words.

"I forgot to sign up this morning, but I didn't expect to get a spot."

"The chicken feet are delicious, but I don't know what the taste of the drunk chicken feet is like."

"Can't you trust the boss' gestures?"

In addition, some people who missed the registration lamented belatedly.

"I also like to eat chicken feet! Why did I forget to sign up today!"

"Twenty places a day is not enough, boss, you see, there are already seventy or eighty people in our group."

"That's right, boss, let's open up the quota?"

This is not the first time Gong Lu has received such news, he skillfully typed out the words and posted them in the group.

[Two mouthfuls]: "If the portion is too large, the taste is not easy to control. In order to do a good job of quality control, this really can't be added. And my own shop has not opened yet, and the current stall is not allowed to hire people, only me One person can’t do that much.”

Other customers know this too, but knowing it is one thing and saying it is another.If one day the boss kindly wants to add a few more places, wouldn't they make a profit?

They were not discouraged when they were rejected again. Instead, they counted the days and looked forward to the completion of the decoration of Gonglu's shop, so that they could go to feast on the feast.

"If the boss opens a store, what do you plan to sell?"

A new customer in the group saw the keywords for opening a store for the first time, and asked curiously.

It was at this time that the people in the group discovered that they had always tacitly assumed that the boss's new store would sell cold salad, and never really asked.

When Gong Lu saw this news, he was also a little tangled. When he renovated, he chose to keep part of the interior of the bookstore, and the overall style was "nostalgic".

Although the surrounding area of ​​the store is not very lively, it is more convenient to get in and out.What he wanted was to open a shop to sell light meals, drinks and desserts, and the main customers were the group of college students not far away.

As far as he knows, there are no shops near the university where students can review quietly.Although he is still some distance away from the school, the current college students are really not as restless as everyone imagined-for a simple example, the place where he is now setting up a stall is not too close to the school, but there are still many People came here specifically for the cold dish or fried yogurt.

In order to facilitate the travel of the students, he specially modified several bookshelves so that they could store some books in the cabinets.

It's just that now that the cold dishes are being made, he wants to continue to develop the bento business. If he makes light meals, he will easily be overwhelmed.

He thought about it, and replied in the group: "I have an idea, but the specific situation has not been decided yet."

The people in the group were not in a hurry to know the answer. After receiving such an answer, they replied a few words at random, and soon changed the topic to how delicious this coleslaw was.

It's not that there were no cold dishes sold in the city before, but the taste of many cold dishes tends to be heavy in oil, salt and spicy, and the locals are not used to eating them.The recipe of Gonglu is researched by myself, and it is more in line with the local people's favorite in terms of taste.

Most importantly, the elderly feel that heavy ingredients are unhealthy, so they are unwilling to buy them.Now that they have this cold dish that looks light and won't taste bland, they won't refuse such an opportunity to add a meal.

When the family was chatting in the evening, Gong Lu and Lu Xiaoyan talked about their thoughts: "I only made bento for the three of us before, but in fact I can't cook many dishes. If you make bento, don't say anything else, the few of us The choice can be wider.”

"If you cook so many dishes, will it be very hard for you?" Parents are most distressed by their own children. Their first reaction is not what kind of delicious food Gong Lu can taste by doing this, but whether he will will be overworked.

Seeing the genuine concern in their eyes, Gong Lu quickly comforted him: "No, I don't plan to make too much, just make the bento a little bigger every morning."

And to be honest, he thinks that not many people are willing to buy bentos.Adding the weight of your own, it is almost enough to control the total within five servings.

He makes bento to test the waters, but more importantly, he wants to enrich the menu for himself.

This argument successfully convinced Gong Jian and Lu Xiaoyan, and they stopped opposing and began to advise him.

"Are you planning to put these places in the group for those customers to grab them, or what?"

Gong Lu's idea of ​​making bento to sell was provided by Lu Xiaoyan. He thought for a while and said to her: "Mom, didn't you say that there are colleagues who want to buy it? You ask anyone who is interested to add my ○ letter, I will ask them first Don't plan to make a reservation."

After talking about this, he brought out another worry point of his own: "I originally wanted to sell simple meals in the store, but if bento and cold dishes are also combined in this way, I will be busy alone. But come. It’s not impossible to hire people, but at the very beginning, I still want to do it alone.”

The most important thing is that he is not used to working with others, and relatively speaking, the degree of freedom is not so high.

Gong Jian and Lu Xiaoyan didn't delve into his thoughts, but after learning about his entanglements, they directly gave their opinions: "Isn't it good that your store also sells bento instead of simple meals?"

Gong Lu explained his general plan: "Simple meals are more convenient to eat. For those who study in the store, they may also be more inclined to eat things intermittently. But it doesn't matter, when the store opens , I can think about it again. If there are fewer people coming, I can continue to sell bento."

In this regard, Gong Jian and Lu Xiaoyan couldn't give any particularly useful advice, they could only nod their heads half-understanding: "Just think it over yourself."

Not all of Lu Xiaoyan's colleagues are talking about it. Gong Lu received two friend requests the next day, and the notes stated that they wanted to discuss matters related to lunch.

The two people who added him were both teachers in the same subject group as Lu Xiaoyan, and Gong Lu had met them before.The two of them probably had exchanges in the office, and now they were talking about bento, and suggested asking Gong Lu if he wanted to start a group chat.

"This way you don't have to repeat similar words twice," the teacher who proposed to pull the group sent an emoji, "Anyway, I and A Dong are quite familiar, you can ask him, if he has no objection, just pull the group .”

The teacher named A Dong also had no objection. After Gong Lu formed a group, he told the two of his initial thoughts.

"Will you give it to us when you deliver the food to Mr. Lu? Will it be too troublesome? We can go to your booth to get it ourselves."

They were a little surprised by Gong Lu's plan to deliver the goods to their door, and declined.

Gong Lu quickly replied: "It's okay, I was going to take this trip too. But what to eat depends on what I can buy that day."

This is not a big problem, but after Gong Lu finished speaking, A Dong, who hadn't spoken much, asked a question: "Is this bento fixed by the day or by the month?"

When selling cold dishes before, most people would not eat cold dishes for a month in a row, so Gong Lu never considered the monthly order.But the two teachers looked at Lu Xiaoyan's lunch box for a week in a row, and the dishes in it had never been repeated, and it seemed that ordering for a month was not a big problem.

As a single man with extremely lethal cooking skills, A Dong usually eats in the school cafeteria.Now that he can have a new taste, he doesn't have to worry about what to eat every day, and he is also happy and relaxed.

Seeing his words, another teacher also echoed: "Yes, it's good to order for one month! If possible, I would like to order two copies. Our teacher's cafeteria is better than the student's cafeteria. But if I can, I don’t want to eat in the cafeteria anymore.”

It turned out that the teacher ordered lunch here not for herself, but for her daughter.There were a lot of problems in her daughter's daycare class before, and she simply got involved in the past month to let the child go back to school to eat.

It's just that the biggest reason why she chose to go out for lunch at the beginning was that the school food was really unappetizing. Even though she thought about buying some in the teachers' cafeteria every day as an extra meal, the child seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.

Gong Lu didn't expect to be able to order three copies here. He thought about it, and agreed directly: "It's okay to order for a month, but it's still the same problem. What I eat every day depends on what I buy that day. People with allergies You can talk about taboos, but it may be more troublesome if you are picky eaters.”

If you order by the day, at most you don’t want to place an order on the day you don’t like to eat. If you order by the month, if someone here doesn’t eat something, Gong Lu doesn’t want to be unable to eat it for a whole month.

The two of them have no objection to this point, Gong Lukai's price is considered reasonable in the whole city, coupled with his good craftsmanship, if you buy it, you will earn it.

Taking a step back, if you really get something you don't like, you can also exchange meals with someone you know.

Today is Thursday, and both of them plan to take their own bento boxes to Gonglu's booth tomorrow.After thinking about it, Gong Lu made an agreement with them to start making bento for them next Monday.

Anyway, it was the first meal, so he asked kindly: "Do you all eat pig's trotters?"

"no problem!"

"Me too!"

Gong Lu is very satisfied.

The author has something to say: Before I became interested in cooking, I thought pig’s trotters, pig’s feet and trotters were all the same thing (.)
