Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

When you drink tea in these places, everything counts as your share of the money.

Small plates, teacups, and teaspoons count as one portion, which is similar to the cost of tableware later; tea leaves alone count as one portion; sheep tail bamboo shoots with walnut kernels are a kind of tea fruit, just like pea yellow and aiwowo. , this is another piece of money.

In addition, if you order dried fruits such as melon seeds and cashew nuts a la carte, it will cost you a fortune.

So, in Beijing in 88, when interacting with people, they would rather treat them to a restaurant than invite them to tea.

Things like Fatty's that should be particular about things but are not particular about, are instead being sought after by young people.

Nowadays, the word "young people" refers not only to physical youth, but also to psychological youth.

Those who can emancipate their minds and have the courage to accept new things can be called young people.

Fatty is a young man, so is Chen Mengqi; Xu Damao is a young man, and Silly Zhu is also a young man!

The future market trend illustrates another truth: young people are the main consumers.

This is what Fatty is like here, with unlimited tea refills and fruits and snacks delivered as needed. Later, there were many things that consumers in the catering industry took for granted. In this era, as long as they are brought out casually, major hotels in the capital will follow suit.

Now there are just such a group of people pointing at Qili Pavilion to eat.

They come as soon as the door opens every day and sit in the lobby, sharing a table with each other. The consumption is not high. A cup of tea and a pot of wine can last a whole day.

But one thing is that whenever Qili Pavilion launches a new dish or something new or new that they have never seen before, these people will pay for it immediately.

Then think carefully about how it is done, why it is done this way, and what kind of impact Fatty's doing will have on Qilige's business in the next few days...

After researching it, write it into a written report and sell it to restaurants in Beijing! You can still buy it from these restaurants!

When Yu Li found out, she almost asked the security to call them all out...

But the fat man not only stopped Yu Li, but also took the initiative to say hello to these people and talk to them in a friendly manner.

The group of people couldn't be punished, and the leader discussed with him nervously: "Fat Master, you have a lot of people, let's do this. It's unreasonable, but who will make you famous! Besides, we can only If you dare to hang out in this lobby, we won’t dare to touch your private room and private courtyard at all..."

First, they praised the fat man, and then said that they were a stickler for the rules. They didn't dare to touch the fat man's bottom line.

As a result, not only was the fat man not angry, he even bought a piece of "intelligence" from them.

After that, I called Liu Jing and asked her to take all the staff of Qili Pavilion to study hard.

At this time, both Yu Li and the others were confused. No one could figure out what medicine the fat man was selling in this gourd.

Seeing them scratching their heads and scratching their heads, the fat man almost burst out laughing.

Aren't these people the same group of Internet celebrities who later became famous in Tandian?

The difference is that Internet celebrities carry mobile phones, while they carry pens...

This group of people is simply better than "tap water". They spend their own money to help Fatty spread the word all over the capital. The effect is better than advertising on TV stations.

Why did the fat man chase them away?

Besides, by looking at the intelligence they summarized, we can summarize our experiences and improve on deficiencies so that Qili Pavilion will always remain advanced.

"..."

Having digressed, let’s go back to Li Huaide and Xu Damao.

Today, Li Huaide is treating us, and You Fengxia is accompanying him. He was not called Smiling Tiger, nor was he called Li Ping who had appeared before.

As the saying goes, there is no feast without fish, and the fish in Qili Pavilion are notoriously expensive.

Unlike other restaurants in Beijing, Fatty has always adhered to the concept that one fish should account for one-third of the total cost of a meal.

So sweet and sour carp is still sold like this, squirrel mandarin fish is still sold like this, steamed anchovy, spicy and sour sturgeon, etc. are all sold at this price.

Li Huaide ordered a spicy and sour sturgeon today, and when he saw the price, he almost broke his guard!

Good guy, a fish is more than 30 yuan!

I don’t know if you still remember that this year, that is, at the beginning of 1988, the above-mentioned policy of “price breakthrough” was proposed.

In the first half of the year, the prices of food, including meat, eggs, vegetables and sugar, were liberalized, aiming to quickly straighten out the price system in the short term; by the end of July, the prices of famous cigarettes and wine were also completely liberalized.

This has resulted in the prices of these commodities generally rising 5 to 10 times!

Everyone still remembers the cross talk that Niu Qun said in the 1988 Spring Festival Gala, right? It was said that they wanted to have a roast duck with a clever plan.

So how much did a duck cost in Quanjude at that time? 35 yuan!

Good guy, in 84 Huaihua's monthly salary was only 40 yuan, which was enough to eat a duck.

That's it, it's not the most expensive.

Have you heard of Dasanyuan?

Opened in March 1983, it specializes in high-end Cantonese cuisine and was known as "the best Cantonese cuisine in Beijing" at the time.

Today’s per capita consumption in Dasanyuan has reached 40-50 yuan! In other words, assuming 6 people come to have a meal, the meal will cost almost 300!

So a sturgeon here in Fatty only sells for more than 30 yuan, so don’t think it’s too expensive.

Xu Damao really has no intention of killing Li Huaide today.

As the director of "Da Mao Electronics Factory", Xu Damao is doing great now!

There are nearly a hundred workers at hand, and the proportion of engineering and technical personnel has increased from less than 84% in 1 to 8.5% now.

The business has also developed from the production of spare parts in the past to today's components specifically for televisions, cassette players, washing machines and color TVs.

From a small town enterprise and small workshop, it has truly become a veritable electronics factory.

Although Cao Zhengyang, Fatty's eldest brother-in-law, contributed to this, it was Xu Damao who really made the factory bigger and stronger.

Back then, when the fat man wanted to go overseas to do business, the first helper he thought of was Xu Damao. He was thick-skinned and had dark ideas. With a little training, he became the independent regional director.

But, Fatty doesn't do Amway, and Xu Damao doesn't like catering.

So, what a pity.

"..."

In other households, the vegetable market serves raw meat at full price all day long, and they go out to queue after 5 o'clock in the morning. While queuing up to buy with resident purchase certificates and meat tickets, Xu Damao directly used a truck to pull pork from the meat factory!

Nowadays, the Xu family is officially the richest man in the courtyard. Even the fat man can't compare with him.

Finally, he finally managed to overpower the fat man. Xu Damao has been able to wake up laughing in the middle of the night recently.

He behaves like a sunny and cheerful boy all day long, which makes him feel proud.

Now Xu Damao simply uses Qili Pavilion as a canteen in order to show off.

As long as I go back to the courtyard, I have to eat two meals a day at Fatty's place. He didn't even let Qin Jingru cook, he was so arrogant.

Why did Lao Zheng Huangqi always look down on this and that in the past?

Because they feel that they, after eating and seeing it before, are just like Xu Damao today.
