Back to 80s bride

As the dust settled, Chen Minghui turned his attention back to the store, and after two weekends of shopping, he found a store near Experimental High School.The shop is small, long tube, 48 square meters. It used to be a breakfast shop, selling deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Later, the store owner was caught cheating, and the proprietress divorced him. The store owner discounted cash compensation to his ex-wife, and kept the shop.The newly appointed proprietress is a delicate young lady, she doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, so how can she do this greasy job.And the store owner used to be a hands-off shopkeeper, who was only responsible for making money and settling accounts.Later, I hired a few masters, but the business in the store was not good, and the income was barely enough to support the chef, and I couldn't even afford to hire a waiter.However, neither of these two couples is the master of serving people, so they have no choice but to rent out the shop.Only then did Chen Minghui pick it up.

The man was wearing a brand-new short-sleeved shirt, with a short figure, a fat ball, and a fashionable girl on his elbow, with a big wave perm, wearing a long skirt in a fashionable style, squinting his eyes, and talking arrogantly.

"This shop costs [-] yuan a year, and it only costs [-] yuan a month. With this little money, it can be earned back in three or four months, and the rest of the months are all earned." The woman said proudly, completely forgetting It was difficult for her to do business before. At that time, she couldn't even make money for the rent, otherwise she wouldn't have come up with the idea of ​​renting out the shop.

Chen Minghui has traveled to many places and knows that the rent is about the same.But he only has less than [-] in his hand now, and he can't afford a year's rent at once, so he said: "The rent is paid every six months, and one year's is too much."

"Oh, poor ghost." The woman cursed in a low voice, then rolled her eyes and said, "Then you have to pay a deposit of two hundred. If you don't rent in the second half of the year, the deposit will not be returned. Otherwise, your business will not be good. If we don’t rent for half a year, we won’t rent, and we can’t go after your family for money. Who can justify this loss. Let’s make it clear in advance that we will rent for at least one year, and we don’t rent for half a year. My wife and I have a lot of things going on this day , I don’t have time and energy to worry about this little thing.”

The shop owner who is ten years older than the woman will agree with his little daughter-in-law, "Yes."

Chen Minghui was confident that this shop could be opened, so he nodded and agreed.

The two parties signed a contract, agreeing on a one-year lease term and paying a deposit of [-] yuan. If Chen Minghui stopped renting in the second half of the year, the deposit of [-] yuan would not be refunded as compensation for the shop owner.After the one-year period expires, Chen Minghui has the priority to rent a house.

After both parties signed and signed, the shop was officially handed over to Chen Minghui.The shop used to be for snacks, but with simple changes, it cost a total of [-] yuan.

Chen Minghui didn't have time for the supervisor, so he invited Zhou's mother to come over, and communicated with Chen Minghui about the specific matters. If there was something unclear, Chen Minghui would come over at noon or evening to make a decision.

After lunch, Chen Minghui was lying in the cafeteria cutting paper to do something, Qian Yu looked up from the English textbook, glanced at it, but didn't recognize what Chen Minghui was doing.

"Minghui, what are you going to do with this little piece of paper?" Qian Yu asked curiously.

Chen Minghui wrote the last stroke on a small piece of paper and handed it to Qian Yu.

"This is a business card."

"business card?"

"Yes, the business card of our shop." On the front of the small piece of paper, Huiyu box lunch was written in the middle, and below it was the shop address and order number a few sizes smaller.On the back are some of the main dishes of the shop, and all the attractive dish codes are printed on them.

For example: Braised Pork in Braised Pork, Pork in Pot, Mushu Leek, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, Fat Sausage, Stir-fried Kidney Flowers, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, Braised Lion’s Head, etc., are all dishes that you will be greedy just by looking at the name at this time.

They are all packed in aluminum lunch boxes, with rice in the middle and vegetables on both sides, one meat and one vegetarian, you can choose by yourself, no matter what the meat or vegetable is, each box costs seven cents, and you need two taels of meal tickets and two taels of meat tickets.

Boxed lunches are not just like the later generations, they are only sold in boxes.At this time, people have less oil and water in their stomachs, which is not like the people in later generations who have a tricky mouth and can't eat much.If you are full and eat with your stomach open, you don't need much, and Chen Minghui will lose all his pants for a week.

Chen Minghui introduced to Qian Yu: "Our shop has just opened, if we want to be known as soon as possible, we can only expand the publicity. Distributing business cards is one of the means of publicity. Certainly not everyone, like those who cannot read. It's just a waste. So my idea is to distribute it to students at the gates of various schools, or to workers who commute to and from work at the gates of factories and units. These two groups of people have high consumption power, students are not short of money, and workers are three to five From time to time, we are a good choice for dinners at work or when young people go out to eat out."

Chen Minghui suddenly remembered something, and wrote another line on the front of the business card, "In order to attract customers, let's hold a big opening ceremony. For all customers who come to our store, the third half-price ticket is not required. Only the first one hundred, first come first That’s right. Of course, this one hundred is just a gimmick for the time being, and it will depend on the situation after the one hundred copies are sold, and it will not be really designated.”

"Minghui, how did you think of this?" Everyone is doing business at the moment, because it is just beginning, and everyone is moving forward while groping. How can there be so many tricks? This is the first time Chen Minghui has heard of Qian Yu. . "If you don't say anything else, don't vote for it. I don't know how many people it will attract."

After all, in the early 80s, you needed a ticket for everything, and you couldn’t buy anything without a ticket and money.On the black market, some people even exchange tickets for tickets.So things that don’t require a ticket seem to be almost free at the moment, not to mention half price.

Chen Minghui felt guilty after being praised. These marketing methods are very common in later generations, and he was not the first to think of them.In his previous life, he was still messing around at this time.

Chen Minghui coughed dryly, and said with a guilty conscience: "Well, don't look at the tickets, but in fact we can't lose money, at least we can earn less from the first month's tickets. Our lunch box is only that big, and it's half and half. I can't put it anywhere."

Qian Yu didn't realize that Chen Minghui deliberately changed the subject, and continued: "Even so, there will be many people eating. If you go to a state-run restaurant to order meat dishes, you can't get a two tael ticket for all meat, and the price is at least one yuan more. It’s not even meals. But we can eat for less than one yuan, and there are two dishes, which is definitely more attractive.”

"This is the advantage of box lunch." Chen Minghui thought for a while and said, "I also plan to order some small note pads, and our shop will also be printed on the cover. After all, business cards are useless, and they are thrown away after reading them. But this kind of Memo pads don’t work, students can use it to memorize things, and if they memorize knowledge points, they can be used for three years. Keeping it on the table is also a long-term free advertisement, which means more initial investment.”

Qian Yu thought about it carefully and said: "Yes, but it can't be distributed casually like a business card. It's too wasteful. Let's print a hundred copies and put them in the store. Only one copy will be given if the consumption amount is enough for one purchase."

"Xiaoyu, you are the one who is really smart." Chen Minghui looked at Qian Yu with bright eyes. He could think that he just had the upper hand, but Qian Yu could think that he was really smart.

After simply designing the business card and note paper, Chen Minghui found a printing factory. The two items cost a total of [-] yuan, and after spending another [-] yuan on some odds and ends for the shop, Chen Minghui and Qian Yu only had It's four hundred yuan.

Zhou's mother was in charge of distributing business cards in various factories and units. Zhou Wei distributed business cards at the city's No. [-] Middle School, and Chen Minghui and Qian Yu distributed business cards at the gate of the experimental school after school.

Business cards have never been issued before, and the students will take a curious look at them for a while.

"Huiyu Box Lunch?" The female student looked down at the business card seriously. There was nothing interesting on the front, but when she saw the name of the dish on the back, she became more and more greedy.

Chen Minghui said at this time: "Students can try it if they have time. Their family has a big bargain at the opening. The third one is half price and no ticket is required. This is almost free. And if the consumption is enough, a note pad will be given away."

"notebook?"

"It's just such a big, boxy little book. It can be used to memorize knowledge points. It's very convenient to carry around. You can put it in your clothes pocket and take it out when you want to read it. It doesn't weigh too much or take up space."

The girl was instantly moved, not only this note pad, but also the third one at half price, which was almost like a free gift.

"His family also provides free food delivery, but it has to be ordered in advance. If you want to eat, you have to go to their store to order it the day before. Usually, the minimum delivery is ten servings. There are so many students in our school, and ten servings are easy to make up." Chen Minghui exaggerated: "You also know how unpalatable our school cafeteria is. The price can't be afforded at school, but this boxed lunch is a hundred times more delicious."

"Have you eaten?" the girl asked.

Chen Minghui nodded, "I have eaten. The owner of this shop is nice. I have invited us temporary employees to have a meal before. Not to mention, it is simply the best of delicacies. Once I eat it, I will never forget it in my life."

The exaggerated dreamy expression on Chen Minghui's face became even more greedy. The girl had already vowed in her heart that she would try the meal.

The same situation was happening everywhere, and the No. [-] Middle School in the city was in the best situation. Chen Minghui had built a good foundation there before. Now that he knew that shop was opened by Chen Minghui, many students placed orders on the spot.

Zhou Wei wrote down the names and classes of these people, confiscated the money, and when the time came, the people who delivered the food came to collect the money.

Zhang Qi snorted and said, "Chen Minghui is very slippery. When he invited us to eat at his house before, I felt that the meal was not made by Uncle Zhang and Li downstairs as he said. Ask him He still doesn’t admit it, and lied to us that he left after cooking. Let’s show off today, and wait to see if I don’t kill him hard.”

Zhou Wei was secretly annoyed, Chen Minghui didn't want to be known by his classmates, so if he said it first, it would make him angry.

In the first week of opening, Chen Minghui taught Zhou's mother a few key dishes. Zhou's mother could cook, but she didn't have so many tricks before, and she was reluctant to put so much oil in it. Now Chen Minghui asked her to do this and repeatedly urged her to do so I did it.

In order to prevent Zhou's mother from being in a hurry at the opening, the day was chosen on Saturday. Chen Minghui and Qian Yu didn't have to go to school for these two days, and they came to the store early in the morning.

Breakfast is steamed buns, which are divided into two types: meat and vegetables, each with two types.Meat is divided into cabbage pork and carrot pork.Vegetarian zucchini radish shiitake mushrooms and plain sauerkraut dips.The porridge only makes rice porridge, and other types of porridge will be introduced one after another when there are more customers.

Although the ad was well advertised, everyone remembered his boxed lunches. There were not many people at breakfast, and they were all old customers from the previous shop.

One of them is an old man who lives alone in this building. His children are all married and moved out. His wife has been gone for many years. In recent years, he has grown old and his hands and feet are not very agile. He doesn't cook much and often eats out.

The old man entered the house and sat in the same place. He looked up and saw that the store owner was replaced by two half-year-old children, and asked, "This store has changed people. It was renovated a few days ago. Are you the son of the store owner?"

Chen Minghui said with a smile: "It's changed, old man, try our craft, I'll keep you from eating this meal and want to eat another one. You will swallow the delicious tongue."

The old man snorted, "Old man, I have eaten countless delicacies, and I haven't eaten any delicious food that I have to swallow my tongue, or my tongue will be gone long ago." The stubborn old man said: "Okay, give me a bowl Rice porridge, a tea egg, and two cabbage and pork buns."

The old man said slowly: "I don't ask you to have the level of a state-owned hotel, as long as it is better than the previous one. In fact, this restaurant can also eat when the boss is not divorced. I said it, it’s too unpalatable. I’m old man, I’m not good at hands and feet, so I’m going to go away.”

Chen Minghui replied with a smile on his face: "Uncle, you will know what is delicious after eating it. The previous ones are all floating clouds."

The old man didn't take it seriously until he picked up the bun and took a bite. What a delicacy it is.God, how is this pork made? It tastes better than the chef in the state-run restaurant.

The two buns were eaten in the blink of an eye, and at the end the old man was still licking his finger with the soup, it was delicious.

When he realized it, he realized that the steamed stuffed buns were gone, and there was only a bowl of bland porridge left on the table. He immediately regretted it. If he knew that he didn't need porridge, he ordered steamed stuffed buns.Who knew that his steamed stuffed buns were so delicious, they were so delicious, and this little doll was also very clumsy, so he didn't know how to say it first.

The dumb-mouthed Chen Minghui saw the regretful expression on the old man's face, and hurriedly approached him and said, "Try our tea eggs and the free pickles, they are all equally delicious."

"What's so delicious about tea eggs and pickles?" The old man curled his lips, no matter how he could taste meat.But when he took a bite of the tea egg, it was delicious.Why does this small shop pickle an ordinary tea egg so delicious that it is no worse than meat.

With the lessons learned from last time, the old man didn't eat it all this time, but sipped the porridge and ate it with tea eggs and pickles.

The food was so delicious that the old man ate it at half the usual speed. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said reservedly: "The taste is not bad, it's not bad. Is your pickle takeaway, I'll buy some Go home and cook your own porridge in the morning and eat it."

Chen Minghui said: "It's for sale, just give me twenty cents for a small bowl like this."

"Twenty cents for such a big and small bowl? This is pickled radish. How many radishes can I buy for two cents?"

Chen Minghui was not annoyed, and still smiled with eight teeth, "But you can't pickle the taste like ours. To tell you the truth, radishes are worthless, and the seasoning inside is what is valuable. The reason why such a pickled radish is so good I eat it because there are eight or nine kinds of single seasonings in it, and you can figure out how much this seasoning costs."

The old man fell silent. He didn't expect that a pickled radish would have so many seasonings. He thought it would be enough to just add some salt and then pour some soy sauce and stir it.No wonder he couldn't make this taste at home, it turned out that the seasoning was not complete.

"Okay, then give me this bowl."

Chen Minghui asked: "Are you going home to pick up the bowl yourself, or do you leave a deposit and use my bowl first, and send it back when you have time?"

The old man said: "It's so close, I'll go home and pick it up."

"That's fine. The breakfast is three triangles, one tael of meat stamps and one tael of food stamps."

The old man paid the money and walked home, and he still had that taste in his mouth all the way.In his mind, he quickly planned to go to eat at noon. He saw that his family was making boxed lunches, and there were braised pork lion heads, all of which were delicious.A steamed bun can be so delicious, the dish must be more delicious.

When meeting acquainted neighbors along the way, they would stop and praise this newly opened shop. They praised that shop like no other in the sky, and it was the only one underground.

"It's really as delicious as you said."

"Really." The old man patted his chest and assured: "No, you go and taste it. If it doesn't taste good, you come back and blame me."

"You say so, I must go and try it."

Although the old man strongly recommends it, it is the first day of business after all, and there are not many customers. There are only a dozen people one after another in the morning.More than half of the breakfast is left.

Zhou's mother looked at the leftovers and was so distressed that she couldn't eat.She was more worried than Chen Minghui that the business in the shop was not good. She was afraid that if there were no customers, Chen Minghui's shop would not be able to continue. If he sent her back, wouldn't her family have no source of income again.

Chen Minghui didn't care, and greeted Qian Yu, Zhou Wei and Zhou's mother who came to help specially to sit down and eat.

"It's okay, this is the first day. It's great that the business can be done like this. After a few days, the name will be known. They know that the breakfast in our shop is delicious. When the time comes, we don't need to invite them, so they will catch up by themselves. I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it when it's too late."

Looking at today's dismal performance, Zhou's mother really didn't dare to think about what Chen Minghui said.

After eating, a few people began to prepare the noon meal. There are many dishes at noon, so they must be prepared in advance.

Everything written on his business card is there.On the first day of opening, in order to attract customers, the dizzy dishes are made by Chen Minghui, and the vegetarian dishes are made by Zhou's mother.However, it was Chen Minghui who personally guided it.The taste is definitely not as good as Chen Minghui's, but it's not bad.

Pack all the lunch boxes in advance, and just wait for the guests to come at noon to choose the dishes and fill them up.

The effect of the propaganda was seen at noon, and just after eleven o'clock, the crowd came up one after another.The students rested on weekends, and all the workers who came here came in groups of three or four.

"I heard that you don't need tickets for the third half price, is it true?" A worker asked directly after entering the room.

Chen Minghui looked around. There were six of them in total, and they should have come here for the third half price. He hurriedly replied, "It's true. If you spend enough five yuan, we'll give you a note pad."

The man said: "Half the price of the meal, you don't need a ticket, the food in your house is not very bad, and the meat dishes have less meat, right?"

Chen Minghui pointed to the neatly stacked [-]-meal plate on the table, "Look for yourself, they are all freshly made, complete in color and fragrance, you can smell the fragrance."

"I can smell it, but I'm afraid that if it smells good, it won't smell like that when I eat it."

"You'll know if you try it. If it tastes good, you can come here a few more times. If it doesn't taste good, just don't come next time."

The man followed several colleagues to order food one after another.

"I want braised pork and shepherd's purse powder." The man said, "Give me the soup of braised pork on the rice."

"No problem." Chen Minghui agreed, gave a full amount of food, and poured some thick soup on the rice.

Seeing the benefits he gave, another worker also said: "I want chicken stewed with mushrooms, and you can choose whatever vegetarian dishes you want."

One of them asked, "How can I sell two meat dishes?"

"One yuan, four taels of meat ticket."

The man nodded, "Yes, give me braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms."

After thinking about it, Chen Minghui cut the tea egg in half and gave him half.

The man bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Little brother is a real businessman, let's not talk about the taste, the person who does it is very motivated."

Chen Minghui said with a smile, "It tastes even better if you eat it."

The man returned to his seat with the lunch box in his hand, and wanted to chat with a few workers as usual while eating, but found that no one responded to what he said.Looking up, these workers seemed to have never eaten in eight lifetimes, and the one who ate one by one was devouring it.

He asked suspiciously, but no one answered him at all, so he had no choice but to eat sullenly.But he didn't want to eat it in one bite, he became like the fellow workers, what to say, who wants to talk with such a delicious food in front of him, just eat it.

After eating it in one breath, he sighed in satisfaction, and then heard the worker say: "I thought that the meat dishes in his house are so abundant, and the taste will not be good. I just win by the quantity. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. If I knew it, I would want to eat it too." It's all meat dishes, one meat dish in a state-run restaurant costs this price, but their family can eat two dishes, which is suitable. No, I'll come back tomorrow."

Another colleague also said: "After eating their food, I don't want to eat from the cafeteria anymore. It's like pig food. I'll come tomorrow too. But seeing so many people today, I don't know if I can still pay half price tomorrow." By the way, didn’t you say it’s only limited to the top [-].”

At the moment, the small shop is already full of customers, some are workers who come here because they know there are discounts, and some are neighbors who are too greedy to smell the aroma.

No matter what the reason for coming here, now I eat without raising my head and eyes. It is so delicious, especially the meat dishes, which are not fishy at all, and are better than those made in state-run restaurants.

The man who ordered two meat dishes before said: "I have to bring a box of dishes back later, and give it to my wife and children to taste at night."

He said to another colleague: "Tomorrow you can bring the blind date introduced by your family to eat here. It is cheaper than the state-run restaurant and tastes good. You two eat four dishes, and it is only the same price as the state-run restaurant. The environment is not bad. The service attitude is better, you see these little bosses have not stopped laughing since we entered the door, why bother to go to the state-run restaurant to get angry."

"That's right, I'll come here tomorrow. With such a delicious food bonus, I don't believe it can be yellow this time."
