I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

Tatsuma-sama, is it you? Long time no see, why are you free to come here today?

With his eyes narrowed, he was counting the things he would need for the opening tomorrow. When he looked up, he found someone coming into the store that had not yet opened. When he saw the identity of the person, his smile became extremely enthusiastic.

Although he will only open the shop tomorrow, this is not the first day he has been in the ramen business. It is just that he worked for a teacher before. He worked as an apprentice for several years and saved money for several years. When the teacher retired, he just bought the shop.

Anyway, during the war, business was very average, so Shou Pai gave the store a major renovation. After the decoration was completed, he was ready to open the store. It happened that the war in various places seemed to be coming to an end.

Recently, the number of ninjas in the village has begun to increase. The civilians who are frightened by the war no longer resist consumption. Now is the best time to open a business.

If it were later, I'm afraid other shops would also hold activities. By then, the half-price price of his new store would probably not attract attention. If it were earlier, there wouldn't be enough consumers to warm up the show.

Having been in business with his teacher for several years, he still understands this basic knowledge by hand. At the same time, he also attracted some customers during the years he worked in his teacher's shop.

Take Sakamoto Tatsuma in front of you, for example. Although Tatsuma has come to their store before and never ordered from the menu, Tatsuma is a quality customer.

His spending power is not low, and he eats very quickly. In the same time, Chenma can cover the income of several customers by himself.

Not to mention Chenma's reputation in the village. If Chenma can come for a meal when it opens tomorrow, then I don't have to worry about the customer flow in the early stages of opening.

Thinking of this, Tatsuma's smile became brighter and more enthusiastic. Tatsuma sat on a brand new stool, stroking the countertop that had no greasy feeling at all, and said with a smile:

I was just passing by and saw your door was open, so I came in to take a look.

How about I make you a bowl of ramen? It's so late. Eat some warm noodles so you can feel more comfortable when you sleep.

Shou Da said: To tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous about opening tomorrow. After all, I haven't made ramen for a while. It would be great if you could give me some feedback.

Tatsuma touched his belly, nodded, and said, Okay, I haven't eaten ramen for a long time. I hope your cooking skills haven't deteriorated.

Hearing this, he turned around and started to prepare. Since it was not a meal, many things had to be prepared at short notice. However, the soup base and other time-consuming ingredients had been prepared in advance.

Looking at the rolling thick soup, Tatsuma said: This tonkotsu soup has been cooking for a long time, right?

Well, it needs to be simmered for a long time before the soup turns white and thick, and it tastes better.

Actually, you can use a pressure cooker.

The soup produced by the pressure cooker is too clear. Although the taste is similar, it always feels a little different.

Shandai shook his head. Although he didn't have a stubborn idea about food, many steps could not be changed by changing them.

“The two can be combined. The color and thickness of tonkotsu soup are essentially boiling to precipitate colloids and lipids. Use a pressure cooker to reduce the time for flavor formation, and at the same time precipitate colloids and lipids faster.

It's just that because the pressure cooker won't boil, the soup won't turn white. After turning on the pressure cooker, it's enough to boil it for another half hour. This can save at least half the time.

Hearing Tatsuma's words, Handa stopped kneading the dough, and there was doubt in his eyes. What Chenma said seemed to make sense, but Handa didn't fully understand it.

But this was Tatsuma's suggestion. Shou Da was silent for a moment and then said: I will give it a try. If it works, it will really be a big help.

If what Chenma said is true, he can save at least three hours a day. With this time, he can get more rest, free up time to develop new products, and spend more time with his wife and children.

Thinking of his wife and daughter, the movements of his hands kneading the dough became more powerful, and he and Tatsuma chatted with each other from time to time, so as not to neglect the guests.

It took him some time to prepare a ramen with noodles, meat, eggs, and vegetables according to his hand-made memory, but with less salt and brought it to Tatsuma.

Tatsuma-sama, give it a try.

Then I won't be polite.

Tatsuma raised his chopsticks and started eating without much ceremony. After showing off two halves of hot spring eggs, half a bowl of noodles, and some meat and vegetables, Tatsuma took the time to say: OEC!

Tashida was a little nervous at first, but now he felt relieved. With a smile, he gently cleaned the workbench. Tatsuma quickly finished the bowl of noodles, and Tashida immediately asked: Are you full?

It's not suitable to eat too much as a late-night snack. It's enough. Thank you.

Tatsuma shook his head and refused to add noodles. He drank the tea served by the hand and said, I saw your opening poster. It's 50% off tomorrow, right?

Well, if it goes any lower, it will fall below the cost price. Otherwise, I would like to lower it even lower to attract more customers.

Hand nodded and said, not caring about announcing the cost price to Chenma. After all, the gross profit margin in the catering industry is about 50%. Many people know that, but people come to the store to eat, not because it is cheaper than cooking for themselves.

It's about saving your own time, valuing the chef's skills, the dining atmosphere, or other reasons.

Chenma took another sip of tea and revealed his real motivation for coming. He tentatively said: Actually, discounting is not a good activity for merchants.

Because this kind of direct profit sharing will only make customers feel that they have spent less money instead of making money, so you have to engage in more activities.

Shou Da was stunned and asked involuntarily: What kind of activity?

“Are those big bowls for the Big Eater Competition still there?”

exist.

Then you can hold another event tomorrow. You can make three times the noodles and five times the amount of meat, then price it at five hundred taels, and then create a Big Eater Challenge. As long as you can finish it within a certain time, then this A bowl of noodles is free.

If you can't finish the meal, just pay the price of 500 taels, but if you return a few 60 or 30% off coupons, I believe many people will try it, and those customers who fail the challenge will become repeat customers.

However, remember that the discount coupon must have a specified validity period, such as half a month. Any longer is not conducive to promotion, and it will also allow counterfeit discount coupons to appear, damaging your own profits.

Hearing Chenma's words, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in Shou's squinted eyes. If according to what Chenma said, the cost of one noodle is only a little over one hundred taels. If five people challenge it, even if four people succeed and one person fails, he In fact, the cost can also be recovered.

The gimmick of eating a bowl of noodles for free for 500 taels seems to be very attractive. Even if it fails, you can get a discount coupon after paying. If you make an appointment with a few people, or simply come to eat with a family, the guests will not It's a big loss.

It can even extend the promotion cycle of the event. Customers who get discount coupons will definitely not spend alone, but will find ways to attract more people to make the discount coupons more effective.

And in this way, these customers were unknowingly helping to promote his ramen restaurant. There was a condensed light of admiration in Teuchi's eyes. Looking at Tatsuma, he felt in his heart that he was worthy of being the Yondaime-sama, and he was even better at business than others.

Shou Da looked at the clock on the wall and said regretfully: It's too late now. I can only print it early tomorrow.

Why bother with that? I'll just help you make it, but if I bring someone to challenge tomorrow and succeed, you can't go back and ask for my money.

Tatsuma waved his hand and took out the scroll that he had prepared. Before he could react, Tatsuma made a seal and opened the seal. A stack of papers that Tatsuma had used to practice shikima no jutsu appeared.

In the sealing room, thousands of pieces of paper floated up, and Tatsuma asked: 60% off or 30% off?

. 60% off, right?

good!

Tatsuma's hand seal changes, and black sealing techniques appear on these plain white papers that can allow chakra to flow. The integration of the techniques forms letters one by one.

The talent of [Ci Sha Tea Cauldron] allows Tatsuma to be very free in his sealing techniques. Even these sealing techniques that have no practical significance can become extremely strong.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of discount coupons were produced and piled neatly on the counter. Chenma picked up one and said, I made an anti-counterfeiting label for you by the way. As long as you tear it up, the words on it will quickly fade away.

Tear~

Tatsuma said as he tore up the paper in his hand. The technique composed of chakra dissipated instantly, and his mouth opened wide. This is too worry-free, right?

No matter how good the printing house is, it can't print such useful anti-counterfeiting coupons. I didn't know what to say, so he opened the drawer, looked at it, and said:

Lord Tatsuma, I only have 50,000 taels left. I don't know if I can buy it.

Just treat it as an opening gift. Talking about money is too tacky.

Chenma waved his hand. There was no way he could do it so cheaply. Even if he had only 50,000 taels, Chenma wouldn't want it. After all, it would be too low on his worth, so he might as well just give it away for free.

Just like many photographers, some friendship orders are free of charge and do not destroy their market value. This is true for individuals, but it is also true for companies.

Many companies will take many measures to make their financial reports show losses for consecutive years in order to prevent their own value from being determined. The market value of a company that loses money is infinite. Once it makes a profit, the market value is fixed.

Shou Da looked at Tatsuma gratefully and said: Thank you so much. Not only did you give me advice, but you also personally helped me make so many discount coupons. Tatsuma-sama, as long as I am still open in the future, if you come to eat noodles, you will be free of charge. .”

Tatsuma waved his hand and said: That's not okay. You still have to collect the money that should be charged. As long as you remember my taste in the future, today's ramen will be delicious and suits my taste.

Yes, I know you don't like salty food, so I reduced the salt in the noodles and soup.

Teida smiled honestly, Tatsuma used to ask for more boiling water to dilute the ramen, but at that time it was a teacher's shop, and Teida didn't dare to change the formula easily.

Now that it is his own shop, he will naturally adjust it according to Tatsuma's taste. In fact, it is not just Tatsuma. He has memorized the tastes of many customers, such as Kushina-sama, she likes to add salt.

Tatsuma nodded, took out his wallet and said, See you at the opening tomorrow.

Seeing that Tatsuma was about to pay, Tate quickly said: Sir Tatsuma, this shop is not open yet, so I can't charge you.

Okay then, no more next time.

Chenma said seriously, he is not a person who doesn't accept the masses' advice!
