Return To 1998

Manager Fu, I left early yesterday. How's the business in the store these two days?

Tongdao Xu handed the menu and pencil to Zeng Xueyi, and asked Fu Yuan this question with a smile.

Originally, when he came over tonight, he planned to ask Fu Yuan.

While helping to pour the tea, Fu Yuan looked around subconsciously, and when he saw that there was no one else nearby, he said in a low voice with a smile on his face, Mr. Xu, don't worry! Yesterday's one-day turnover exceeded 12,000. Today At noon, the popularity is not lower than yesterday, and business should be good at night, so I estimate that the turnover today should be similar to yesterday.

The turnover was 12,000 yesterday?

Xu Tongdao was satisfied and nodded slightly.

Zeng Xueyi, who was sitting opposite him, was startled. She raised her head and turned to look at Fu Yuan, her eyes seemed to ask: Are you bragging?

The smile on Fu Yuan's face was very bright. When she looked at him, he nodded slightly in greeting, without showing any guilty conscience.

This made Zeng Xueyi understand that what he just said was true.

It turned out to be true.

The surprise in her eyes could not be concealed, nor did she intend to conceal it, she subconsciously looked at the opposite Xu Tongdao.

Tongdao Xu's youthful face has not yet completely faded away. To put it in a more vulgar way - this kid's hair may not have even grown.

But the achievements he has made in business so far surprised her once again.

In a few months, he is only 20 years old!

Why is business so great?

She didn't understand catering, and the daily turnover exceeded 12,000, which shocked her.

And Xu Tongdao had been a chef for several years before, and his knowledge of catering is far more than hers. Fu Yuan just said that the turnover of this place exceeded 12,000 a day yesterday. Although he was satisfied, he was not surprised.

Where is this going?

In his impression, around 2010, not to mention the most popular Datong Food Street in Shuibiao City, even in the small place of Shazhou County, he had heard of a night snack shop less than 100 square meters, every night turnover is over 10,000.

Of course, the price of vegetables around 2010 was many times higher than it is now.

Not a good direct comparison.

but,

The area of ​​his Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant is far more than 100 square meters! And it is also the most popular Odori Food Street in the city.

After all, the turnover of more than 12,000 a day is only more than 6,000 at noon and evening.

Not bad! Not bad! Come on! Strive for a new high.

Xu Tongdao boasted, took out a cigarette case in his hand, and handed Fu Yuan a huazi.

As more and more people eat with him, his cigarette grade has long since been raised to Huazi.

No way, he's the boss, so he can't smoke cigarettes for his subordinates every time, and his grade is not as good as that of his subordinates, right?

I will, President Xu, don't worry!

...

the next morning.

Xu Tongdao drove to the First City Hospital again to visit Jiang Xiaomei and his wife.

The main reason is to know if Jiang Xiaomei is awake.

As a result, he still did not see Jiang Xiaomei this time, and Jiang Xiaomei was still lying in the intensive care unit.

In the corridor outside the intensive care unit, Jiang Xiaomei's husband, Fan Bixing, was still sitting on the bench. Other relatives and family members were gone, too! There were so many people yesterday, it was impossible to wait in this corridor all the time.

Fan Bixing was surprised to see Tongdao Xu coming again today.

But Tongdao Xu was their husband and wife's savior after all, so Fan Bixing quickly got up to express his gratitude.

Brother, sister-in-law, is she... awake?

After a few words, Xu Tongdao asked carefully.

I was afraid that this question would hurt Fan Bixing.

However, when Fan Bixing heard the words, he showed a smile and nodded, Wake up, Xiaomei, she woke up last night, Xiaoxu, thank you! Thank you for always thinking about us, when will your sister-in-law be discharged from the hospital, our husband and wife Make sure you have a good table, thank you very much!

Tongdao Xu shook his head and waved his hand, Brother, no need! Didn't you invite me to dinner yesterday, enough is enough! I came here in the past two days because I wanted to know if my sister-in-law was rescued, and now I know that she is awake, I'm relieved! Brother, don't get me wrong!

Fan Bixing held Xu Tongdao's hand, Xiao Xu, see what you said! You saved the lives of our husband and wife, especially your sister-in-law's life, our husband and wife treat you to a good meal, thank you very much, that's not what it should be. Besides, I didn't pay for that meal yesterday, it was Xiaomei and her elder brother who paid.

Speaking of her eldest brother, Tongdao Xu asked casually, Oh, what about eldest brother Jiang? Has he returned to the provincial capital?

Well, yes! He is busy with work and can't stay here for too long, but he said that he will take time to visit your sister-in-law in a few days.

After chatting with Fan Bixing in the corridor for a while, Xu Tongdao put down the fruit he bought on the road and left.

For the next half month, he would buy some fruit or milk every three or five weeks to visit Fan Bixing and Jiang Xiaomei.

During this period, he never saw Jiang Yiming again.

But Xu Tongdao was not disappointed.

First, he has no place to seek Jiang Yiming recently; secondly, there is no intersection between him and Jiang Yiming. If he really wants to forge a deep friendship with Jiang Yiming, he has to spend more time with Fan Bixing and Jiang Yiming. It would be possible if Xiaomei and his wife moved around more. Thirdly... Even in the end, he wouldn't be able to use Jiang Yiming, and he wouldn't be too disappointed. After all, he might not have a place to ask for Jiang Yiming in the future.

The reason why he wanted to make friends with Jiang Yiming this time was because he might be able to use this person in the future.

Just like seeing the temple burning incense.

Knowing in my heart may not be useful, but it is just for peace of mind.

...

In the past half a month, the business of Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant has gradually declined, but the decline has not been much. The daily turnover has recently stabilized around 10,000.

On weekdays, the daily turnover occasionally falls below 10,000.

But on the weekends two days, the single-day turnover will also explode.

On the day with the highest single-day turnover, it rose to more than 16,000.

I have to say that you really don’t need to worry about the source of customers when you are catering in Datong Food Street.

Every day, countless tourists come to this street for consumption, some are residents of the urban area, and many come from nearby cities and counties.

There are many customers, and the business methods of Fu Yuan and others are really good. In just half a month, Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant has grabbed a lot of business from Hot Girl Hotpot City.

Anyway, every time Xu Tongdao went to the store to inspect, he would pay attention to the hot girl hot pot city diagonally opposite.

It stands to reason that the operation time of Hot Pot City is much longer than that of Ximen Yipin, its reputation must be bigger than Ximen Yipin, and there must be more regular customers than Ximen Yipin.

However, the contrast is obvious.

In the past two weeks, every time Xu Tongdao came to Ximen Yipin, he noticed that there were more than half of the customers in Hot Pot City Hotpot City less than half of his Ximen Yipin.

In addition to being happy, Xu Tongdao was also wary of Cao Fujun in Hot Pot City, who would not be able to sit still, and made a trick to him again.
