The second day of July.
The first branch of Daheyan Restaurant was officially opened.
The store is in an alley that is not busy. The signboard is very large and covered with red cloth. The entrance is also covered with a red carpet, making it look full of flowers.
Shopkeeper Zhou stood at the door, rubbing his hands slightly nervously. He looked at the neighbors who gathered around the door to watch the excitement, and said loudly: "The first branch of Daheyan Restaurant has officially opened. Please invite Shopkeeper Zhao from Daheyan Restaurant. Uncover the silk cloth!”
Zhao Ergou walked over and pulled it gently. The red silk cloth fell down, revealing a glittering golden signboard. The big characters read "Dahe Yan Restaurant" and a line of small characters at the bottom read "First Branch".
The crowd suddenly became excited.
"Dahe Yan, isn't it a famous restaurant in Ping'an County? I heard the taste is very special."
"I heard that the boss behind it is from Sui'an. You know, Sui'an. He was promoted to the sixth rank just a month ago. He was only the ninth rank last year. He was promoted so quickly."
"Hey, why haven't the people from Sui'an arrived today? I still want to see what the people from Sui'an look like."
"The people from Sui'an have an unusual status now. How could they come to the market place? Don't think too much."
"..."
"Everyone, be quiet!" Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile, "The first branch of Dahe Banquet has officially opened. In the first three days of the opening, all dishes are free to sample, and all customers receive a 20% discount in the first three days. In addition, the restaurant also has membership cards. Please go to the front desk for details. The restaurant has prepared all the tasting dishes, please come in!"
He turned sideways to make way for the door, and people on the street filed in.
The branch stores copy the sales model of the main store. As lively as the main store was when it opened, the branch stores will be as lively now.
The people currently coming in for free tastings may not be the target consumer group, but these people all have a mouth, and the purpose is to let them use their mouths to spread the news about the opening of Daheyan branch, forming a word-of-mouth communication effect. The wider the reputation of Daheyan, the more customers will There will be more sources.
Mrs. Zhou is in charge of the kitchen, shopkeeper Zhou is greeting the guests in the lobby, the eldest son of the Zhou family is answering customers' questions at the counter, and the second son of the Zhou family and the two girls of the Zhou family are serving dishes non-stop.
Zhao Ergou brought Cheng A and Cheng B over to help maintain order.
Because there are enough staff, everything in the store is in good order.
"Hey, what kind of dish is this? It's so delicious!"
"It's meat. I don't know what kind of meat it is. It seems to be roasted."
"It should be mutton. It has a slight smell, but it is covered up by the spices. I don't know what the spices are made of. It fully stimulates the deliciousness of the mutton. It's so delicious!"
There were only two pieces of meat on a small plate for tasting, which was not enough.
Shopkeeper Zhou came over with a smile and introduced: "This is indeed lamb. The name of the dish is roasted whole lamb. It is roasted on the fire and cooked, and sprinkled with secret spices. You can tell how delicious it is just by smelling the smell. This is The new dishes launched by Dahe Banquet in July are only available in branches for the first three days. If you want to try them out, you must hurry up and reserve a table."
Shopkeeper Zhao said that this is the benefit of the first branch. Only the first branch can enjoy the customer base brought by the only dish.
He had to try this roasted whole lamb several times before he could roast it perfectly. Roasting was the next step, and the most important thing was the secret spices. They did not make them themselves, but were provided by the main store.
There are also some seasonings provided to them by the main store. Those things that have never been seen before are added to the dishes and the taste immediately rises to a higher level.
He finally understood why Dahe Banquet had become famous in nearby counties and towns within just half a year of its opening.
I also understand why the price of a dish is so high and there is a steady stream of customers.
It is even more understandable why the Zhao family is so confident in handing over all the recipes to them, because some dishes require secret seasonings. Without these seasonings, the cooked dishes will only look superficial.
On the first day of opening, we were busy from morning to night, and there were always customers at the fourteen tables, and the table reservations were made seven days later.
The boss of the Zhou family calculated the total profit and was stunned: "Today, many people applied for membership cards, twelve gold card members, twenty-four silver card members, and received a total of forty-nine tables of guests, with a total income of one thousand and fifty One hundred and eighty-seven taels.”
Shopkeeper Zhou was in disbelief. He quickly took the account book and took a closer look. There were many people charging the card. Although the money in the card has not been consumed, it will be consumed in the future. This is also considered income... It is more than a thousand taels of silver a day. There are still two days of opening in the future, so he can earn about 4,000 taels, which can be split 28% with the main store, so he still has more than 3,000 taels of silver income.
Oh my god, their family is going to get rich!
Looking at Shopkeeper Zhou's appearance, Zhao Ergou thought of himself at that time.
When the accounts were being settled that day, he must have looked like he had never seen the world. Now, he has grown up.
"It's getting late, so let's say goodbye first." Zhao Ergou said, "I won't come tomorrow. I'll let Cheng A and Cheng B come and help for two more days."
Shopkeeper Zhou quickly said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I want to go to Dahe Village together. I want to kowtow to your mother."
Zhao Ergou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you kowtowing to my mother?"
"Although we are cooperating, you are more than ten years younger than me. I can't kowtow to a junior like you." Shopkeeper Zhou said, "The owner behind Dahe Banquet is from Sui'an. I can be the first branch. The shopkeeper has also obtained permission from the people of Sui'an. Now, our Zhou family is proud and proud. I have to kowtow to the people of Sui'an, otherwise I won't feel at ease with the money I earn."
Madam Zhou came out of the back kitchen and agreed, "I'll go too, to prove our loyalty to the people of Sui'an."
Zhao Ergou had a headache.
The Zhou family and the couple are not servants of the Zhao family, so how can they be loyal?
But the two men had already changed their clothes, hitched up their carriage, and followed his carriage.
Helpless, Zhao Ergou had no choice but to take the Zhou family to Dahe Village. When they entered the village, the sky had completely darkened.
The carriage drove smoothly to the gate of the mansion.
Two lanterns were hung under the eaves at night, and the big stone lions stared with round eyes, making the house feel quiet and cold.
The two Zhou family members looked at each other, straightened their clothes, and then followed Zhao Ergou in.
Mrs. Qi greeted respectfully: "The second young master is back."
Zhao Ergou nodded and walked over. In fact, he was not comfortable with the title of Second Young Master. He said it many times, but Mrs. Qi was unwilling to change her words, so he just let it go.
On the way, they also met several girls from Liu Lu, who also called out to the second young master.
This posture directly shocked the Zhou family.
As soon as they arrived at the flower hall, they saw Cheng Wanwan sitting on a wicker chair enjoying the cool air, with two women beside him reporting on matters. This scene made the two of them kneel on the ground with a plop: "The grassroots have seen the Sui'an people! "
He just knelt down and kowtowed.
Cheng Wanwan was really frightened. She looked at Zhao Ergou, what was going on?
