after one day.
A carriage started from Qinghe County and headed all the way to Yu'an County.
The driver of the car was tall and tall, with a handsome face, but his expression was cold and he didn't look easy to mess with.
There are people sitting on both sides of the carriage, the one on the left is thin and lanky, and the one on the right is plump and rich.
Sitting there is like a guardian on the left and right, and like a follower of the driver.
Pedestrians on the road saw the carriage and pointed at the people behind it, asking, "Look at those two fools, why don't they sit in the carriage?"
"Yes, it's so strange. In such a big carriage, they are all sitting outside!"
After Xu Zishang and Li Shun heard these words, their faces turned dark instantly: Did they not want to sit inside?
The person driving the car didn't allow them to sit inside at all!
Ye Luoxin sat alone in the carriage, opening the curtain from time to time to look at the scenery outside.
This is her first time traveling far away.
The customs and customs of Yu'an County and Qinghe County look similar.
Pedestrians on the street looked relaxed and content.
After arriving in Yu'an County, Xiao Mu found an inn to stay first.
This inn is not luxurious, but the rooms are large and clean.
It's quite comfortable to live in.
After briefly washing up, Ye Luoxin took a piece of silver and handed it to the waiter.
He said to him: "Boy, I heard that the braised rabbit in your Zhuangyuan Building is delicious. Could you please go to the Zhuangyuan Building and buy me a copy?"
The waiter accepted the money with a smile and said: "The guest officer is indeed well-informed!
The Braised Rabbit in our Zhuangyuan Building in Yu'an County has just been available, and now it is very famous. Many people have to queue up to buy it!
But don’t worry, I’m familiar with the waiter there, and I’ll buy you a copy right away! "
Not long after, the waiter came back carrying a braised rabbit.
Zhuangyuanlou's Braised Rabbit does not have special packaging, it is just wrapped in a layer of oil paper and tied with hemp rope.
Ye Luoxin opened the paper package and found that the color of the braised rabbit was a bit dark.
After cutting off a small piece of meat and chewing it, she sighed softly:
"Boss Li is really worrying too much! This taste is not only slightly different from our braised rabbit, it has absolutely nothing to do with it!
To dare to compare with Xinyue Zhai with something like this is a bit high! "
After saying that, she also cut a piece for Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu shook his head after eating, "This braised rabbit is not only missing a few seasonings, but the heat is also a bit off."
Based on the taste alone, they will definitely win!
Ye Luoxin also felt that she was a little too worried before.
Two days later.
Hexianglou has officially launched new dishes.
Here, Ye Luoxin personally took charge and made the first pot of braised rabbit at Hexianglou.
The guys looked at Ye Luoxin's skillful operation and secretly admired it. The neighbors were also attracted by the smell of braised rabbit.
But sales were not good on the first day.
After shopkeeper Li set off the firecrackers, a few tables of customers came to the store, not much more than usual.
There were two tables of regular customers who were indifferent to the new dishes recommended by the waiter.
"We tried the braised rabbit at Zhuangyuan Building a few days ago. The taste was very average. Today we are here to eat your Sixi Meatballs. Leave the braised rabbit to others."
When we took inventory in the evening, we sold a total of eleven braised rabbits from the dine-in and those bought by the neighbors.
This is much less than what Ye Luoxin and Shopkeeper Li originally estimated.
Compared with the 70 or 80 braised rabbits in Zhaixing Tower a day, it is like the sky and the earth.
In order to show his friendship as a landlord, shopkeeper Li invited Ye Luoxin and three people to dinner in the evening.
At the dinner table, he couldn't help but sigh several times.
"Shopkeeper Ye, today's result is really unexpected. If this business continues to be sluggish, what will I do?"
Ye Luoxin frowned. Shopkeeper Li also liked to complain too much!
She put down her chopsticks and said, "In business, there are always losses and gains!
I also told Shopkeeper Li at the beginning that if Shopkeeper Li wants to break the contract, I can refund the money to you immediately. In the end, Shopkeeper Li insisted on doing it. "
Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it was what I insisted on doing at that time. I just complained a few words. Shopkeeper Ye must not take it to heart."
Ye Luoxin: “When it comes to doing business, you should be more experienced than me.
Today is just the first day, it won’t be like this every day in the future.
Maybe there will be a turnaround in a few days? Maintaining quality in a down-to-earth manner is the most important thing. "
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and said with a grimace: "The most important thing here is the first day.
On the first day, new dishes are served, and curious people will come over to try them.
There will be fewer and fewer curious people in the future.
It's just that I didn't seize the opportunity this time and let Zhuangyuanlou take the lead. "
"If you don't have the upper hand, you have to make up for it the day after tomorrow." Ye Luoxin said.
“Everyone can decide whether the food tastes good or not.
Moreover, the group of people that I, Luitu, am targeting at the beginning are not those who are greedy for cheap and can make do with it.
We are targeting people who have money at home and are particular about food.
So what we want is quality rather than quantity.
For a shop like yours, as long as you sell 20 braised rabbits a day, you can attract 20 tables of customers.
Coupled with your other business income, it is no problem to have a turnover of more than 1,800 taels a year. Just in terms of scale, there is still a gap between your store and Zhuangyuanlou. I only hope that after shopkeeper Li makes money, he can improve the quality of the store. "
Shopkeeper Li saw a little hope in the disappointment and said: "That's for sure!! I also hope that there will be a turn for the better in the future."
"Then it depends on how long you can hold on!" Ye Luoxin said.
After dinner, when they returned to the inn, Xu Zishang still looked guilty.
"Shopkeeper Li is a good guy with a good character, but I didn't expect him to act like a motherfucker!"
Ye Luoxin: “Based on the scale, Hexiang Tower is not our first choice.
However, although Zhuangyuan Building is good, his shopkeeper has other ideas. In comparison, I feel that shopkeeper Li is more reassuring. "
"Moreover," Ye Luoxin continued: "He broke the contract with Zhuangyuanlou first, and he still dares to make money under the name of Xinyuezhai. I think he should be allowed to have a taste of regret."
According to the agreement, Ye Luoxin can leave directly after teaching the people here.
However, in order to support Hexiang Tower, she and Xiao Mu planned to stay in Yu'an County for another ten days.
In the past ten days, the number of guests at Hexiang Restaurant has increased day by day. They ate the Braised Rabbit from Zhuangyuan Restaurant and Hexiang Restaurant at the same time, and they all felt that the one from Hexiang Restaurant was more delicious.
Those who are more particular about it, because they don’t have to pay tens of pennies, just choose to eat at Hexianglou.
In addition, the cooking skills of Hexianglou's cooks were already good, and slowly, they attracted a few regular patrons of Zhuangyuanlou.
