Chapter 18 Doing business within the system
Five male helpers and eight mothers-in-law do not need to pay a penny, as long as they provide three meals and a few cooks, they will have a hundred clerks per month.
With such a low treatment, Wang Tong felt that it was already oppressive, but Zhang Shiqiang and Widow Ma persuaded him, why bother to pay the salary, as long as he took care of the food, Jingshi didn't know how many people would squeeze their heads to the door.
Sweeping the copper coin on the last table into the box, Wang Tong calculated it in his mind and said in a low voice:
"Today, I sold one hundred and twenty copies, deducting materials and labor, and made a net profit of 600 Wen."
Zhang Shiqiang looked at Wang Tong's somewhat disappointed look, and was mentally prepared to hear the loss, and after hearing this "six hundred texts", he didn't react a little, and then his face was full of ecstasy, and when he spoke, his voice trembled a little:
"Six hundred wen, isn't it nearly twenty taels of silver a month, my lord......"
According to the agreement, he can get about four taels here, and his monthly income has suddenly doubled, how not to be ecstatic, Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and said:
"The first opening is always fresh, let's see tomorrow!"
Earning this amount of money is too boring for himself, but "if you don't accumulate steps, you can't go thousands of miles", although you earn little, after all, you make money, so do it slowly.
On the first day of opening, there is always something fresh to the people around, and the sales will fall on the second day, which is a normal reason, what Wang Tong didn't expect was that at lunch the next day, there was a queue in front of the delicious restaurant.
It is really strange that a clean and sufficient, not delicious meal has such a big appeal, Wang Tong casually walked around the side of the crowd in line, and heard this sentence:
"It's too difficult to find a suitable place to eat in this area, I didn't expect there to be such a store on South Street, spend more legs and feet to come over, and try whether it's worth it."
Yesterday's customers spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the news spread throughout the south city, everyone knows that there is a very strange shop, the taste is also OK, it is very convenient, there are leisure time to come here to see a fresh.
This is not only the pedestrian flow of South Street, but also brings a lot of people from other areas.
On this day, the box lunches sold were actually forty percent more than when they opened, and the men and women in the store couldn't eat the leftovers, so they had to make them themselves.
The trend of increasing passenger flow continued until the sixth day before it stabilized, and it could sell about 300 copies at noon every day, and there were even customers from other places who came here to eat.
This situation can only make Wang Tong sigh that there are too few new things that people in this era have seen, and the guests who have come have made the profits of this small restaurant better, because the quantity of food purchased is large, and the price will inevitably become cheaper, bringing an increase in profits.
But after all, this is just a small restaurant, and after a few days, the daily business has stabilized at about 240 servings, but this has already required an increase in manpower.
Everything in the store is stared at by Zhang Shiqiang, he has worked hard for many years, and finally has such an opportunity to make money, so he naturally has to grasp it well, the whole store, from diet to hygiene, he is very close, those male and female helpers dare not have the slightest slack, this Zhang Shiqiang is like the big shopkeeper.
In winter, vegetarian dishes are cabbage and radish, but the pattern of meat and vegetables has always changed, and chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep have also begun to appear, but the really popular is this braised pork.
In this era, sugar is still relatively expensive, and sweetness is still a very luxurious taste, and the sweet aroma of braised pork is really tempting and appetizing.
In order to solicit business, Wang Tong is doing enough heat and not deducting materials, and after more than ten days of delicious restaurants, this kind of fast food model actually has a dish that has become famous, that is, this big pot of braised pork.
There are often people who come here to buy this braised pork home, delicious food, if you buy it alone, although the amount of that bowl is enough, but the price is fifteen wen, but it does not affect sales, you can buy it alone, and you don't care about the money.
It should be between two hundred and thirty and more than two hundred and forty copies every day, Wang Tong went to order in the morning, and after returning to South Street, he stayed in the restaurant to count all the data.
Knowing the number and the trend of change can make a good plan, although the business is small, but must be done seriously, Wang Tong trance felt that he had returned to the modern company, detailed analysis and various plans have been released.
If you take into account that the New Year is approaching, the foreigners in Beijing have begun to rush home for the New Year, and the customers with spending power are decreasing, and after the Spring Festival, the income will increase, and the return can be faster.
When the spring is opened, the foundation of this quickly built simple house also needs to be consolidated, and if the business does not change, it will need to add a little more tricks, and perhaps the two houses on the side will have to be taken down......
There are few customers in the store, Wang Tong took off the cloth helmet on his head, took a charcoal pen and a few pieces of paper to write and draw, the guys also liked it, looking at the braised pork and mutton roasted radish left today, they were looking forward to not coming to the guests, and the rest of the dish, everyone made a tooth sacrifice. If it is sold out and redone, Sister Ma is a fine person, and she is reluctant to put more meat on everyone.
"The shopkeeper, come with six copies and twenty wen."
Originally, Wang Tong would have ignored it directly, but this voice was shrill and quite feminine, as if it was a woman, although the etiquette and religion of this era were not as exaggerated as the books of later generations, but except for the poor people who had to run for their livelihood, even ordinary women would definitely not show up to come to this market.
He looked up in surprise, but saw six young eunuchs in blue robes standing at the entrance, one of whom was taking out money.
Wang Tong glanced at it and lowered his head, but stopped his pen and listened to the eunuch who took out the money and said with a smile:
"I said that I and Xiao Li came here to eat, the price is not expensive, but the food is ironed, I don't know how much stronger than the big pot of dishes in the palace, and I can rest assured that I will clean up and eat......"
A few people looked for a seat, talked and laughed and began to eat, a few people said some trivial matters in the palace, and it didn't involve the royal family, it was nothing more than the privacy of eunuchs and palace maids.
Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand and gently patted his forehead.
I'm really confused, where is this restaurant, it's on the root of the imperial city, but I always make up my mind on the pedestrians on the street, and where the biggest customer base is, it's in the Forbidden City.
After living in South Street for so many years, there are eunuchs from the palace passing by every day, and there are several small doors on both sides of the noon gate for these eunuchs who go out on business to enter and exit, and one of the doors is open near South Street.
The eunuchs in the palace move very freely, with a little status, they have a few dollars in their hands, although there are imperial kitchens and kitchens in the palace, but they are all serving the emperor's concubines and the great eunuchs, and the following ones can't find a place to eat something good, why don't you do their business in the delicious restaurant!
"This tastes really good, it's much better than the half-hot and not cold rotten food in the palace......"
"That roast pork seems to melt in your mouth, it's delicious......"
When the eunuchs finished eating, they were about to leave with a smile and a smile, Wang Tong stood up and said politely:
"A few fathers-in-law stayed."
