Return To 1998

After taking a shower, Xu Tonglu didn't have any clothes to change, so Xu Tongdao gave him a set of his own clothes. After changing his clothes, Xu Tonglu didn't stay in their room too much, and took the key to Ge Lianghua's room next door.

As a result, only Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin were left in the room.

The two of them had a tacit understanding as they returned from the stall before, sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing each other, and began to count the money.

Count how much you earned tonight.

This is the thing that can relieve their fatigue the most. No matter how tired they are, as long as they count the money they make a day, their physical fatigue will be mostly offset by the sense of achievement and satisfaction in their hearts.

Because this is hope.

No matter how tired they are physically, as long as they can see the hope of persevering and improving their lives, they can continue to persevere.

The money they made tonight was poured out of the money box and piled on the sheets, which was obviously much more than when they set up the stall before.

reason?

There are a few more tables for one reason; there are more dishes for another reason; and... there are many more types of drinks and beverages, which is also a reason.

As we all know, drinks in restaurants are very profitable.

Some restaurants even deliberately compress the profits and prices of their dishes in order to attract customers, and then make money by selling drinks.

In the past, when they set up the stall, Xu Tongdao and the others only had a display cabinet, in which they had to put both vegetables and drinks. Because of the limited space, there was not much room for drinks.

But now that they have opened a store, they bought an extra second-hand wine display cabinet, which is full of wine, and only three kinds of beer.

Beverages... beverages that are relatively common on the market, and now they all bring them.

In addition, there is a wine cabinet behind the bar, on which are all kinds of liquor.

As long as these things are placed in the store, they don't need to pay any attention to them. Whatever the customer wants, it will be a profit.

And the profit is higher than the profit of any dish.

Especially liquor, a bottle of liquor costing 20 to 30 yuan, making 50% or even 60% of the profit is not unusual.

There is also the mutton soup specially made by Xu Tongdao today.

That big bucket of mutton soup sold fifty or sixty bowls tonight, maybe more.

The price he set was not too high, a bowl of one dollar would have sold for at least fifty or sixty dollars.

The two sat on the bed? Pointed the money skillfully? Straightened some crumpled banknotes. After a few minutes? All the money was counted? Xu Tonglin held a stack of money in his hand and looked up at Xu Tongdao.

Xiaodao? I have 538 yuan in my hand, how much do you have in your hand?

Tongdao Xu smiled? He stretched out his right hand in front of him.

Xu Tonglin habitually put the money in his hand in Xu Tongdao's hand? Xu Tongdao took out two of the hundred-yuan bills, took out a few hundred-yuan bills in his hand, put them together, and said lightly: 733 .

Xu Tonglin laughed? He tilted his head and broke his fingers there? He murmured, How much is it, I'll calculate...

1271? So much? Xiaodao, did we count correctly? Did we really earn so much tonight?

Tongdao Xu bowed his head, and was still managing money there? He managed it together with the same face value? Then he took the wooden clip and clamped,

Put it back in the money box.

It's getting late? Go to bed early! We'll get up early tomorrow.

While speaking, Tongdao Xu yawned.

But Xu Tonglin is still excited? More than 1,200 yuan! This, this is nearly 1,300 yuan? Xiaodao, Xiaodao? Then how much do you think we can earn in a month? More than 3,000? No, no! At least More than 30,000? Holding grass! So many? Are we going to make a fortune? Xiaodao, we really made a fortune!

Saying that, he stood up on the bed excitedly and walked around on the bed.

Tongdao Xu rolled his eyes and scolded angrily, Sit down! Don't step on the bed.

This old-fashioned wooden bed is not as strong as it looks, and the bed boards are all wooden strips one by one.

Oh, oh, well...

Xu Tonglin hurriedly sat down, but his expression was still very excited, Xiaodao, we can earn more than 30,000 yuan a month, and I have a 10% share of this, so I can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month? Haha...haha ...It's great, great! When I have money, maybe my dream may come true! Do you think so? Isn't it?

Xu Tongdao was a little speechless.

Because Xu Tonglin told him about his dream when he took a boat back to his hometown with him before - to earn more money, eat more delicious food, and... sleep more women.

Seeing him so excited, Xu Tongdao couldn't help pouring some cold water on him, You didn't calculate the bill like this, we have rent now, and we hired two waiters and a dishwashing aunt, as well as the cost of water, electricity, ingredients, etc., If all these costs are eliminated, that is the profit for both of us.

Unfortunately, he seems to have poured too little cold water.

Xu Tonglin was stunned for a while, then got excited again, That's okay! We made more than a thousand today! Even with those costs, we can still make a lot of money! Right?

Xu Tongdao couldn't see him being so complacent, so he couldn't help but say: It's impossible for business to be so good every day, such as rainy days, and now it's the second half of the year, the weather will get colder and colder, and when it gets colder, The number of people who come out to spend at night will definitely be greatly reduced, and maybe we may lose money at that time, so don’t be too happy too soon.”

What Xu Tongdao said was not nonsense.

He has really heard of some restaurants before, because the main dishes are seasonal, such as spicy crayfish. In summer, the business is very hot, and they can earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in a few months, but in winter, they will be monthly. lose money.

In contrast, BBQ is a little better than spicy crayfish.

At least BBQ is not seasonal.

But when the weather is cold in winter, the business will be a lot weaker. To be precise, once the weather is cold, the entire catering industry will be affected.

Especially for supper.

Because once winter comes, no matter whether the sun is out during the day, it is warm or not, it will be very cold at night.

Many people who like to go out for supper will give up the idea of ​​eating supper because it is too cold outside.

even……

Xu Tongdao thought of the hair salons, dance halls, bathing centers and other entertainment venues on the Red Light Street where their barbecue shop is located. He felt that when the innocence became cold, the physiological needs of many men would also be affected by the weather and weakened.

At that time, let alone supper, the attractiveness of beauties will also be greatly reduced.

Xu Tonglin was still excited, but he still had a happy smile on his face.

As for Xu Tongdao, thinking about what happened just now, he was already thinking about waiting for the cold weather. Does his barbecue restaurant need to adjust its business direction?

He thought he could try it.

It is foreseeable that when the weather is cold, the number of diners who come to his store every night will definitely be greatly reduced, but if the total consumption of each table of guests can be increased by adjusting the business direction, then the monthly profit of his small store, Maybe it won't drop too much.

Even bucking the trend is possible.

How to adjust the business direction... He suddenly thought of it.
