Chapter 13 Restaurant Business
"This is for your own good! Next time, you must pay attention, be prepared, you can prepare a few teapots in the room in the future, and you can drink it at any time when you drink it! ”
"Okay, why is Lang Jun nagging today!" Zhen Qian didn't talk much in the past, and Zhen Qian seemed to talk a lot after he recovered, although Xiaomei had some doubts in her heart, she didn't think much about it.
Zhen Qian also felt that his words were a bit too much, so he stopped talking and continued to cook, and soon four plates of hot dishes and two cold dishes were ready, and he called Uncle Wang and a few people up to Xiaolou.
Uncle Wang didn't know what Zhen Qian called him, and when he walked into the room, he smelled a burst of vegetables, sniffed his nose and said, "It's so fragrant!" Dalang, this is inviting us to dinner? ”
I spent a lot of time communicating with the two little Nizi, but I didn't have much contact with Uncle Wang, the two little Nizi have been by my side for a long time, and I don't know much about things outside, and I can only ask Uncle Wang a few things if I want to know about things outside, but I can't pull Uncle Wang over to chat without a reason, so I thought of stir-frying a few dishes while eating and chatting.
Didn't later generations often say that it was easier to promote feelings and communication at the wine table?
"Da Lang's cooking skills are really good! I didn't expect there to be such a blessing today! ”
Uncle Wang is also his elders, and he is much older than Zhen Qian's biological mother, although the master and servant are different, but Zhen Qian's biological mother treats people generously, and she watched Zhen Qian grow up, so the feelings here are naturally needless to say, even in public, there are not many taboos.
"If you like to eat, eat more and taste the taste of this braised pork!"
Zhen Qian helped Uncle Wang with a few cloth dishes, and introduced with a smile: "I don't know if the spicy chicken is to your taste, this braised pork is fat but not greasy, it is cooked with pork that I bought back today, I don't know if you like it or not?" ”
Wang Qun had a piece of chicken in his mouth, and a piece of braised pork in his hand, which looked a little greasy, but it was indeed fat but not greasy in his mouth, and it melted in his mouth, so he didn't care about speaking, and picked a thumbs up at Zhen Qian.
Tang Dynasty meat is mainly mutton, here is talking about the rich people, ordinary people only buy some pork to beat the tooth sacrifice, Uncle Wang also occasionally ate some pork, but the taste is not as special as today's braised pork, for a time chopsticks flying, the mouth is stuffed with braised pork, and the mouth is still staggering: "Delicious!" ”
"Da Lang, how is this dish made, and why is it so delicious?"
Wang Sheng smiled and asked: "I have also cooked food for more than ten years, and today I see that the food of these years is in vain!" ”
Wang Qun scolded with a smile: "You old and uncultivated, you are kind enough to say that we have eaten your pig food for more than ten years, and our cooking skills have not improved at all, and it is not as delicious as the fried rice of Xiaomei and Xiaozhu yesterday!" ”
Although Xiaozhu and Xiaomei are Zhen Qian's personal maidservants, women can't be at the table on such occasions, so they can only serve water and tea on the side. Hearing Uncle Wang praising himself, he hurriedly explained: "Yesterday, the Zhen's fried rice that the two of us learned from Lang Jun and Lang Jun yesterday, the craftsmanship is not half as good as Lang Jun, so don't laugh at our sisters!" ”
"It turns out that yesterday's fried rice was also made by Da Lang, no wonder it is so delicious, after eating, there is no other appetite for dinner!"
Zhen Qian poured a glass of wine for several old people and said, "If a few elders like it, I will do it every day in the future!" ”
Zhen Qian didn't think there was anything wrong with saying these words, but when Wang Qun heard this, he immediately waved his hand and shook his head and said: "No, Da Lang is a person who reads, how can he cook for us people every day, once in a while is a great honor, if the master knows, I'm afraid that the people in this courtyard will not have a good time!" ”
Zhen Qian actually said this casually, if he really let himself stay in the kitchen every day, then what else could he do in the future was just to make them happy! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they can cook every day, I'm afraid they won't dare to eat every day.
Wang Peng said with a smile: "To be honest, Da Lang's dishes are really good, Wang Sheng's craftsmanship is really different from Da Lang's, it is better to hand over this craft to Wang Sheng, so that we can eat every day in the future!" ”
Zhen Qian also planned to do so, and before he could open his mouth, Xiaozhu on the side was unhappy and said: "How can Lang Jun's craft be easily passed on to others, even if it is to be passed on, my sisters will learn it first, and then our sisters will pass it on to Uncle Wang!" ”
"This little girl ......!" Wang Qun smiled, but he was not angry: "Do you two little girls want to stay in the kitchen every day in the future?" I'm afraid it's just the heat of the past few days, there are more than 30 mouths in this yard, and the two of you have to serve Dalang again, can you be busy? ”
Xiaozhu is right to think about it, but she is not willing to admit defeat and bow her head, so she pouted and said: "I didn't say that I wanted to burn the food in the whole yard, I just wanted Lang Jun to have a meal that he liked to eat, isn't this okay?" ”
Uncle Wang and the old men naturally didn't care about Xiaozhu in general, and just as they were about to say something, Wang You, who was working the side, finally raised his head and said: "Since you all said that Da Lang's dish is good, why can't we open a restaurant by ourselves, so we don't have to worry about eating in the future!" ”
Wang You's mind is really bright, Zhen Qian also has such a plan, he lowered his head and thought about it: "I'm afraid it's not easy to open a restaurant here!" ”
"What's not easy!" Wang You immediately muttered: "Doesn't our Zhen family have a restaurant?" ”
Wang Qun nodded, took over the topic of Wang You and said: "Wang You is right, the Zhen family does have a restaurant, although it is not the best in Zhending, but it also belongs to the top ten, and it can earn three or four thousand yuan for the Zhen family every year. ”
Zhen Qian really didn't know what industry the Zhen family had outside, but after listening to Wang Qun's details, he also knew some things outside the Zhen family. However, I didn't expect the restaurant to make so much money, and I was surprised: "A restaurant can earn three or four thousand yuan a year, which is really a lot. ”
"There is no problem for Da Lang to listen to nature, anyway, this is not a secret, not to mention that Da Lang is the eldest son of the Zhen family, and he should also know these things!"
Although Wang Qun has not personally managed the affairs of the restaurant, as the chief housekeeper of the Zhen Mansion, he still knows the operation of the restaurant, so he introduced it while drinking.
"This restaurant pays attention to location and popularity, of course, the most important thing is the chef's craftsmanship, Zhenfu this restaurant is called Invite Yue Lou, it has a history of fifty or sixty years, there are one or two hundred people to dine in the restaurant every day, but the competition in the restaurant is very fierce, the best restaurant earns five or six thousand a year is also a common thing, and the restaurant with poor business even has food and clothing is a problem, this is the difference between high and low!"
Zhen Qian couldn't help but ask: "Listening to Uncle Wang's words, the profit of the restaurant should not be so high, is there any other reason for this?" ”
According to Zhen Qian's understanding of the restaurant, if it is not considered the top luxury consumption, such a restaurant can make a net profit of four or five times a day, and it will be the top of the sky if it can earn one or two thousand times a year, so how can it be said that it can earn three or four thousand times a year.
Wang Qun laughed and said: "What Da Lang said is true, a restaurant like the Zhen family does not have much profit for a year's meals, but if you count the drinks sold, there will be ......."
When Zhen Qian heard this, he suddenly realized how he had forgotten this, the profits of wine were very rich in both the Tang Dynasty and later generations, and it was not a secret to calculate.
I asked some things about the operation of the restaurant, Zhen Qian has roughly figured out the model of the restaurant operation in the Tang Dynasty, which is similar to the model of the hotel in later generations, it can be said that it is the same, and it has not changed much between the millennia, the key is the taste of the restaurant and the services it can provide, including the famous wine of the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of fine wine, Zhen Qian held a wine glass, and the wine glass was poured with yellowed turbid wine, although it is not a famous wine in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also the most popular wine, called Hengshui Brewing, but the degree is about the same as the beer of later generations, and the entrance is still a little sweet, so it should not be a problem to drink two or three catties by yourself.
"Wine!"
The corners of Zhen Qian's mouth showed an intriguing arc, he didn't drink less of those famous wines in later generations, but when it comes to brewing, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do. However, the famous wine can not be brewed, but it does not mean that the local wine in the small workshop in later generations has no way, I have not eaten pork, but at least I have heard the pig cry, I was born in the countryside, some of the home-brewed local wine technology in the countryside has been seen, if it is experimented in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what the effect will be.
Thinking of this, Zhen Qian slowly calculated in his heart, he is now living in the Zhen family, although he does not have to worry about food and clothing, but if he wants to do something, he is constrained by the Zhen family, and wanting the Zhen family to sponsor him is tantamount to a fool's dream, at least before he becomes the head of the family, this is impossible.
Making money is the number one priority!
After thinking about it, there are a lot of plans in my mind, but every plan needs money, it is really difficult for a penny to be a hero, it is difficult to move an inch without money, nothing can be achieved without money, and it is precisely because of lack of money that I have to play some tricks to buy a few slaves, although it is a little unkind, but it can only be a strategy.
The Zhen family has money, and there is a lot of money, but Zhen Qian can't move a penny, not to mention that the Xing family will get in the way, even if there is no Xing family, anyone who wants to move money must discuss with the head of the family, especially a lot of money, once the Zhen family knows their plan, there are only two results, one is to stop their absurd thoughts, and the other is to give money to Zhen Qian, but the premise must be that the Zhen family is involved, and the profits they get will inevitably be very small, which is not in the interests of Zhen Qian.
There are a lot of plans to make money in my mind, but most of them require time and technology, there are not many businesses that can get rich quickly, and there are a few businesses that may cause others to peep, and the husband is not guilty and guilty, so Zhen Qian has to be cautious.
