"Oh oh oh!"
The sound of roosters wakes up Dahe Village.
Zhao Ergou got up early. Although he didn't need to learn martial arts, he still followed the gestures a few times and regarded it as a way to keep fit.
After practicing for a while, people from the village came to the yard one after another. They were the people who supplied the restaurant, including preserved eggs and salted duck eggs from Mrs. Zhu’s house, drinks from Lu Yingxue’s house, and some vegetables, bamboo shoots and mushrooms provided by the villagers. Fungus, etc., some villagers want to sell chickens and ducks, but they sell them directly to restaurants, and there are also men who bring fresh fish.
After all the goods were loaded on the carriage, Wu Huiniang also packed them up. Zhao Dawang and Chunhua packed up and came over together. The four of them got on the carriage and headed for Ping'an County.
When the carriage arrived in Ping'an County, the sky was slightly bright, and many people setting up stalls in the city began to shout, and the day's life began.
Yan Tiezi arrived a long time ago and waited for the carriage to arrive and then started unloading the goods. He moved all the things in and put them neatly into categories so that he could get them without looking for them when needed.
Wu Huiniang and Chunhua put on aprons, got into the kitchen, and started preparing for lunch.
Zhao Dawang received the goods at the door of the store. What he delivered now was mainly chicken, duck and fish, as well as some daily condiments.
Cheng Fang helped clear the goods and check the orders.
Zhao Ergou is writing a flyer. He plans to go to Hekou County later to promote the franchise. He cannot wait for others to come to him, he has to take the initiative.
After writing dozens of orders, he handed over all matters in hand to Zhao Dawang and drove to Hekou County.
Hekou County is even more lively in the early morning, especially at the dock, where many merchant ships are parked. Workers are shuttled back and forth on the dock. They are all sweating profusely and have no time to rest and drink water.
Zhao Ergou didn't stay here longer. He went to the street, specifically looking for stores that were not doing well to hand out orders. If the other party was not interested, he would just kick him away. If he was interested, he would ask a question, but once he heard that They said they had to pay and get a commission, but no one wanted to ask any more questions.
After walking around Hekou County and sending out all the orders, Zhao Ergou returned to Dahe Yan Restaurant.
As soon as they saw his look, everyone knew that something was not going well.
Zhao Dawang walked over and said, "Otherwise, I will go to Fenghuang County, Baiyun County and make another trip tomorrow. I will gain something if I go a few more times..."
"You should stay here and learn how to be a shopkeeper." Zhao Ergou laughed, "Your brother Ergou will not give up so easily. Sooner or later, we will successfully open the first branch. By then, I will have to do other things. , this restaurant is completely in your hands."
Zhao Dawang's eyes lit up: "Real or false?"
"Why are you lying to me? If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?" Zhao Ergou patted him on the shoulder, "We are going to get married soon, so do your best and don't let Damai follow you and suffer injustice."
Zhao Dawang's dark face turned red. He didn't know how to answer the question, so he turned around and went to work.
Zhao Ergou smiled, lowered his head and calculated the morning's accounts. There were six tables in the lobby and four tables in the private room. A total of twelve tables of customers were received at noon. The prices of the dishes in their store are relatively high, even if they only order three or four A dish costs more than thirty taels of silver, and if someone orders drinks, a table of food and wine becomes even more expensive. The total income for twelve tables is forty-two taels of silver.
During this period, the average daily income has reached about one hundred taels.
He didn't understand why those people were unwilling to join such a profitable business.
It seems that he needs to change his thinking again.
He took out a pen and paper and reorganized his thoughts, planning to go to Hekou County again tomorrow morning. There were three stores that were interested in joining today, but as soon as they heard that they would have to pay a franchise fee and take a commission, those people started calling. Back off, these people are potential franchisees, they have to work harder...
After planning like this, in the afternoon, customers slowly came into the store.
He noticed that a man in his thirties was sitting alone by the window. He ordered a plate of peanuts and a bowl of water, keeping his eyes on the customers in the store, and even walked towards the kitchen. He walked away, but did not go in. Instead, he walked around the store and continued to sit in his original position.
Zhao Dawang walked over quietly and said in a low voice: "Brother Ergou, I suspect that this man is a spy sent by another restaurant. His eyes are wandering around. He is uneasy and has good intentions. Shall I kick him out?"
Zhao Ergou waved his hand: "No hurry."
When this person passed the counter just now, he smelled the smell of oil smoke on this person. He should be someone who was busy in the kitchen all year round. The shops he went to in the morning were all snack bars. This person should be the owner of one of the shops.
It seems that he took the initiative to come to the Dahe Banquet.
Then give it a chance to observe slowly. As long as you see the business of Dahe Banquet, your interest will probably reach a higher level.
He said, "Ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of clear noodle soup and send it over. Just say it's from the shopkeeper."
Zhao Dawang nodded and went to do it.
After a while, a bowl of clear noodle soup with poached eggs was placed in front of the man. The man was slightly stunned and looked at Zhao Ergou.
Zhao Ergou made a please gesture.
The man understood something, no longer refused, and started eating voraciously. After eating, he no longer occupied the seat by the window, but asked for a chair and sat on the edge of the counter.
Zhao Ergou put down his abacus and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, you are the shopkeeper Zhou of Zhou Ji Wonton Shop, right?"
He went there in the morning and only met the proprietress. The woman asked a few questions with interest, but kicked him out when he mentioned the franchise fee.
"Shopkeeper Zhao has a good eye." Shopkeeper Zhou said sincerely, "I came here rashly, I'm intruding so much, so please don't mind it, shopkeeper Zhao. I saw the list that shopkeeper Zhao left in the wonton shop, and that's why I found this place. The main thing is I want to see if this Dahe Banquet is really as profitable as the rumors say."
Zhao Ergou nodded: "Does Shopkeeper Zhou think this Dahe Banquet can be profitable?"
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed. He looked at the prices on the menu. The cheapest ones were three to five hundred cents, and the more expensive ones were close to one tael of silver. On average, each table had four dishes, two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup, whatever you want. Even if three or four taels of silver were put into his account, he was a caterer, so he could naturally calculate the cost. The profit was really huge.
In his wonton shop, he worked so hard every day that he could only earn two taels of silver.
Nowadays, business is not easy to do. Slowly, I can't even make two taels of silver. Sometimes I sell more than a dozen bowls in a whole day, and I drink northwest wind for several days in a row.
It's also that the shop is really difficult to maintain, otherwise he wouldn't try his luck here.
"After becoming a Dahe Banquet franchisee, there will be Dahe Banquet and franchise stores." Zhao Ergou took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Whether it is a one-time buyout, or you can choose to join the franchise by paying 200 taels of silver, and enjoy The rights will not change, there is only one premise, that is, Daheyan Head Office has the right to check the accounts at any time. Once any problem with the accounts is found, the franchise store will be closed immediately."
Shopkeeper Zhou asked: "I want to know what specific rights I can enjoy?"
