Back to 80s bride

"I don't know if the owner of this hot pot restaurant is willing to sell us the base recipe?" Qian Yu looked at the red hot pot eagerly, as if he still had this taste to eat when he went back.

"I'll ask." Chen Minghui quickly found the boss, and after knowing his purpose, the boss refused without thinking.

"My hot pot restaurant has a history of hundreds of years. It was left by my ancestors. I can't sell it as a human being. Besides, if you come to ask me, it means that the taste of my restaurant is unique, and other restaurants can't compare. This is not It is equivalent to a golden hen who can place an order, how could I sell it, and it’s not that my brain is broken.”

"After I bought the formula, I will not open it here. I will only do business in my hometown. We are one north and one south, and we can't affect each other." Chen Minghui encouraged and lobbied.

The boss still shook his head, "Then what if my business is booming and goes to the north?"

Chen Minghui choked, the owner of the hot pot restaurant is very ambitious.

"I'll offer thirty thousand."

The owner of the hot pot restaurant was very moved, but he refused: "No, let alone [-], even [-] is impossible."

Chen Minghui still couldn't come up with [-] yuan, knowing that the owner of the hotpot restaurant was determined not to sell it, so he didn't force it anymore, but it was a pity to find another seller.

There are many hot pot restaurants in Chongqing, and they can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys. Chen Minghui and Qian Yu changed places almost every day, and finally found a hot pot restaurant that was willing to sell the recipe.Although the taste is not as delicious as the previous one, it is still acceptable.

After spending 3 yuan to buy the formula, Chen Minghui and Qian Yu returned home.

In Chongqing, in order to find a suitable hot pot recipe, the two ate hot pot almost every day. They couldn't hold back the delicious food every day. In the end, the delicious food became a kind of torture.Not to mention, eating too much chili is easy to get angry.

But Chen Minghui couldn't afford to wait for a while to study the formula of the base material for which so much money was spent. After much deliberation, Chen Minghui and Qian Yu's idea came to one person.

"Zhang Qi." Chen Minghui and Qian Yu said in unison, and then smiled at each other, "That guy has eaten a lot of good food, and the taste is tricky. I just invite him to try it. As long as he can pass his mouth, no one will eat it." would not like it."

The two hit it off immediately, and Chen Minghui immediately rode a bicycle to Zhang Qi's house to find him, the address he knew when he helped buy watches.

"Invite me to dinner, what to eat, isn't your box restaurant yellow?" Zhang Qi laughed.

"It's brother, you know that, and you pay too much attention to me." Chen Minghui smiled happily, without explaining, "I invite you to eat something fresh this time."

"I'm not bragging. I haven't eaten anything. I still have the word fresh."

Chen Minghui turned his head, looked at Zhang Qi's small western-style building, and thought of a sentence, his toilet, oh no, the bathroom is bigger than my whole house, probably that's how it feels.Chen Minghui always knew that Zhang Qi had a background and was not an ordinary person, but he didn't know what he did specifically, and he didn't bother to inquire.

"Hot pot." Chen Minghui said directly, "Even if you have tried the base recipe in Chongqing, it is still a new thing."

"Hotpot!" Sure enough, Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, "You can do it, Chen Minghui, I wondered why you sold such a profitable golden hen before, and this is the big move behind you!"

Chen Minghui chuckled, "Small meaning, small meaning, just wait and see, there are big brothers behind."

Zhang Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with deep meaning: "Then brother is waiting to see the big move behind you."

"Let's go, let's call a few more people. Hot pot is only lively when there are many people."

The bottom of the hot pot was prepared by Chen Minghui at home before, half clear soup, a handful of spicy, just waiting for Zhang Qi and the others to come and try it.

A strong aroma emanated from the boiling hot pot, and Zhang Qi and the others sniffed the smell in the air deeply.

"It smells so good!" Zhang Qi couldn't help sighing, and when he looked again, the table was covered with vegetables and meatballs.

"These dishes are beef, and the dishes here are mutton. I'm afraid you don't eat beef and mutton. I also have pork here." Chen Minghui introduced: "This is duck intestines, hairy belly and duck blood. It’s easy, I bought it from a merchant who specializes in supplying people, and I only sold it because I opened a box lunch shop before. If I didn’t receive the goods directly from farmers He also couldn't think of the idea of ​​receiving goods from farmers and reselling them to merchants. It was I who inspired him, and as a token of gratitude, I promised that if I open a store in the future, I will supply these in-demand goods first."

"So, let's try this first to see why it is so attractive."

Chen Minghui said again: "There is something particular about eating hairy belly, you have to go up and down." Chen Minghui said, first experimented, put the hairy belly in the hot pot and rinsed it up and down regularly, and counted slowly in his mouth: " One, two...eight, that's it." Put the tied hair belly into Zhang Qi's bowl, "Taste it."

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Minghui, looked at Qian Yu, who was also looking forward to him, feeling nervous, "Give this to me? Not to your little cousin."

Qian Yu's face turned red, and Chen Minghui punched him, "Xiaoyu has been obsessed with hot pot recently and ate too much. I'm a little bored and don't let him eat anymore, otherwise you think it will be your turn."

"Oh, so that's how it is." He said, this Chen Minghui can change his mind, and he suddenly treats him so strangely and frighteningly, so it can be explained.

Zhang Qi ate the hairy belly in the bowl, her eyes widened and she gave a thumbs up, "Yes, it's great."

Seeing Chen Minghui's reaction, the other students put down their chopsticks one after another. If they can eat spicy food, they can cook it in a spicy pot;

Hot pot and beer go together best. Chen Minghui also prepared soft drinks for a few students. The students were very satisfied with the meal. When they left, they frequently patted Chen Minghui on the shoulder and asked him to make arrangements.

"If your store opens, don't forget to prepare a membership card for me, and I will definitely bring people to support you every day."

Chen Minghui laughed loudly and said: "It must, everyone who comes today has a share, come and eat."

Chen Minghui has experience in hot pot base material experiments, store location selection, decoration, and personnel recruitment.A month later, a restaurant called Authentic Chongqing Hotpot opened its doors amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Zhang Qi brought a group of friends to join him as promised. This time, the friends he brought were not the classmates from the previous class, but friends from his circle.Don't look at these people's young age, they are all old Tie, and their mouths are getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Minghui personally served several people, and handed out a list of the dishes he made, "Everyone can try our recruitment, the three dishes of hairy belly, duck intestines, and duck blood. Don't look at these three dishes. It’s just that, I don’t know how many ducks I want in just a few trays, but fortunately I have connections, so I got it. But it can only be supplied from stock, and there are only ten trays a day.”

Even with the reform and opening up at this time, it is not like the later generations who can control everything. Everything is developing, and there will definitely be some dishes that are not easy to assemble in the early stage.

A few of them are of the son-in-law level. When I heard that there was only a limited amount, no matter whether it was delicious or not, I became interested on the spot and ordered a plate of each item.

A friend of Zhang Qi said: "What other special features do you have in your store? You can continue to talk about it."

"Abalone, sea cucumber and crab, as well as hand-made fresh prawns, are all made of fresh prawns. They are springy and firm, which is different from directly boiled prawns. There is also this special fried crispy meat, which is also very delicious... ..."

Zhang Qi's friend looked down at the price of the fresh shrimp slippery, and was immediately satisfied, it's expensive, that's good. "Give me a plate of this, and a plate of everything you just said, and beef and mutton..."

Zhang Qi's friend proudly ordered a table, ordered a lot of beer, and greeted: "This is Zhang Qi's treat, don't be too polite, eat it."

Another friend also joked with a smile: "This is asking us to come to cheer for his classmates, and treat us as favors. If the hot pot tastes bad and poisons our stomachs later, we won't settle accounts with the boss, just Let this kid drink a bowl of this pot bottom."

Don’t even drink the red hot pot soup, it looks spicy when you look at it. If you can’t stand it, you will be sprayed repeatedly on the spot.

"Drink a bowl and leave. If something goes wrong, take a spoonful, this spoonful."

"Okay. Zhang Qi, do you dare to answer?"

The old god Zhang Qi was there, and said mysteriously: "Let's see who should drink this spicy soup for a while!"

Zhang Qi and his friends are all ready for a while, even if it is delicious, they have to pretend that it is not delicious. Zhang Qi drank this spicy soup for a long time, but when the hot pot was served, hehe, sorry, I forgot all the bets , each of them ate their heads without raising their eyes or opening their mouths, and still refused to stop their chopsticks with their hot mouths.

Zhang Qi’s friend, who was the first to find fault, didn’t even have enough to eat, and shouted: “Boss, another serving of duck intestines and blood with hairy belly.”

When Chen Minghui brought the things up, the man said: "You are not cheap, the bottom is covered with ice, and the top few pieces are not enough to fit between my teeth."

Chen Minghui smiled wryly, "I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma for this amount. If you pretend to be like other dishes, let's not talk about the price. It's this amount, and I have no place to get it."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qi's friend nodded, "That's right, it's delicious, as it should be."

At the end of the meal, there was a table full of dishes, except for a few vegetables, all of them were CDs.The guy who made the bet before drank the bottom soup wholeheartedly, and while coughing hotly, he even praised: "It's delicious, this soup is really amazing, I'm going to use this soup to make noodles next time, it must be delicious .”

"Boss, settle the accounts."

Chen Minghui took the bill, "The total is [-] yuan, and the change is wiped off. Just pay [-]. This is the price after a [-]% discount."

This price can catch up with some people's salary of one and a half months, which is quite expensive, but the young masters don't care.In fact, other people can’t spend so much money to eat. These young masters don’t say much, and they also specially pick expensive ones. As long as the vegetables are combined, the rest are meat, and there are many meatballs and seafood, etc., and they are all normal. At the age when you can eat it, you can afford such a sky-high price.

"Okay..." The friend who lost the bet saw the price and nodded in satisfaction, "Boss, I'll bring people over to eat tomorrow night, and I'll reserve three plates of each of the limited dishes."

Chen Minghui quickly took out the membership card, "This is the membership card in our store. It offers a [-]% discount. If you spend over [-] yuan, you can draw a lottery. The highest prize is the free order for that day's consumption."

Chen Minghui sent membership cards to several people, and they all expressed that they would come and bring friends over for dinner in a few days.

Hot pot is a new food, and it became popular after only a little publicity, and because of Zhang Qi and others, it became popular among the wealthy circle first.

After Huiyu Box Lunch was sold by Chen Minghui, the boss didn't change the name in order to keep the customer base, but kept calling it this name.It’s just that in the past few days, some old customers have frequently heard about a restaurant called Chongqing Hot Pot.

Boss Feng didn't eat hot pot, but he heard that the price was not cheap, and one meal was worth as much as he had, which affected some of his business to some extent.

Boss Feng said sullenly: "Is it really that delicious? Better than my box lunch?"

The old customer paused, "How should I put it? It's different. Hot pot has a magical charm. As long as you have eaten it, if you don't eat it after a few days, you will think that you can't eat well and sleep well. Greedy dreams are all about that. smell."

"Hehe..." Boss Feng sneered a few times. He closed the shop early that day and went to that hotpot restaurant for a meal. He couldn't believe how something could seduce people.

After taking a bite, Boss Feng forgot everything and just ate big mouthfuls. The few dishes he ordered were not enough, and finally he ordered a pot of noodles to share with the family of four, so that they were full.At the time of checkout, it is six yuan and six cents, and the change is not wiped out.His heart was bleeding, their full box of lunch was only a few cents, and this meal was enough for him to consume for half a month, how could there be so many people eating.The son hiccupped one after another, and Boss Feng stopped talking.

As soon as Boss Feng put the change he found back into his wallet, he heard a familiar voice, "Boss Feng."

Boss Feng looked up and saw that it was a young man selling to a box lunch shop, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly hit his heart.Sure enough, I heard the two girls collecting money shouting together: "Boss Chen, Boss Qian."

"Are you the owner of the hot pot restaurant?" Boss Feng felt too eager after blurting out, and coughed to cover up.

Chen Minghui didn't care and said with a smile, "Yes, Boss Feng is welcome to eat in the future."

Boss Feng was bitter. Before he bought Chen Minghui's box lunch shop, everyone in their circle joked that Chen Minghui was young and ignorant, and this hen that lays golden eggs dared to sell it.Although it is said that 3 yuan is a lot of money, and now a [-]-yuan household is very impressive, but have you ever thought that if you run a good business, you can earn it back in just two or three years.And now that the economy is changing day by day, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the business is done well, the turnover is likely to double next year.With the business so good, Chen Minghui actually sold the points.

Boss Feng smacked his lips. It turned out that Chen Minghui was not stupid, but they were stupid. They underestimated people because of their age. After a long time of trouble, there was a big move waiting behind.This hot pot restaurant is much more profitable than any box lunch shop.
