Bennett huddled in the corner of the cell, lying on the cold ground. The wounds all over his body made it difficult for him to distinguish which parts were painful and which parts were intact.
But he was already numb and didn't care about all this. His heart was as cold as his body, and the fear of losing everything even overshadowed the pain in his body.
He never thought that one day he would end up like this. He obviously just wanted to get a hot pot recipe from a restaurant employee.
But as a result, he lost his gambling house and brothel, and even ended up in jail himself.
The Gray Temple knew everything. The guys buried in the backyard of the gambling house, the illegal potions sold over the years, and the old accounts were all dug up. The confessions were written in black and white, and he couldn't help but deny them.
Those confidants and subordinates who were usually loyal and tight-lipped, in the hands of the Gray Temple, every one of them kept their mouths shut.
I'm afraid he can't get out, his reputation has been ruined, and his brother is probably happily thinking about how to remove his name from the Marquis family genealogy.
Bennett was a little dazed and couldn't help but think of Mag.
All of this was obviously caused by him. Her clerks and his possible relationship with the Gray Temple all made him a little worried.
He even regretted a little. If he hadn't been greedy and put his idea into Maimi's restaurant, he hadn't been jealous of the hot pot business, or even acted straightly the day Mag came to visit, all of this might not have happened.
"Asshole——"
Bennett's hoarse growl echoed in the cell, only to receive a serious warning.
…
Mag had a good sleep, turned off the alarm clock, got up and went downstairs to make breakfast.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Mag opened the door. In addition to Phyllis and Camilla, who had come early to prepare the ingredients, Rena was also standing at the door.
"Why is Rena here so early?" Mag turned sideways to let the three of them in, greeted Felice and Camilla, and looked at Rena in surprise.
"There is something I want to discuss with you, so come here a little early." Rena said with a smile, and she seemed to be in good spirits.
"Okay, you go over there and sit down first," Mag said.
"Yeah." Rena nodded and sat down near the door.
Mag went into the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water, placed it gently in front of Rena, looked at her and smiled and said, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"
"Yes, I slept with my mother. I slept well." Rena nodded. All the bad guys had been caught. She did have a good sleep in her mother's arms yesterday.
"Is there anything you want to tell me this morning?" Mag asked.
"Well, I have an immature idea..." Rena looked at Mag with some hesitation.
"If you have any ideas, just tell me, I can listen." Mag encouraged with a smile.
Reina looked at McGonagall's warm smile and plucked up the courage to say, "I wonder...if we can set up a new hotpot restaurant outside Maimi's restaurant."
"Open a new hot pot restaurant?" Mag looked at Rena in surprise and thought for a moment: "Judging from the current situation of the restaurant, I'm afraid it's not easy to implement. Why would you want to open another hot pot restaurant? ?”
"I think hot pot is a very great invention, with a unique way of cooking and eating, a unique dining atmosphere, and delicious food. But the current cost of eating hot pot in our restaurant is a bit too high for ordinary people. , the per capita consumption is over a thousand, which is a price that most people cannot accept." Reina looked at Mag and said with a sincere expression: "I know that you use the top spices and ingredients to create the ultimate delicious food. I think By lowering the standards of ingredients, we will open a new affordable hotpot restaurant so that more ordinary people can taste authentic hotpot."
Mag thought for a moment, then looked at Reina who looked a little nervous and a little expectant and nodded: "This is a good idea. Do you have a specific plan?"
"You...do you agree?" Rena was obviously stunned.
"I agree with what you said, but I still need to hear your plan on how to implement it." Mag nodded without haste.
"I'm very familiar with the vegetable market in the north of the city. Every day at three o'clock in the morning, you can buy low-priced but high-quality and fresh pig bones from the pig dealers, which are used to make bone soup. There are also various ingredients such as tripe. You can buy it fresh at the wet market, and by screening suppliers you can get high-quality and affordable ingredients.
As for spices, I can find most of the substitutes. There are slight differences in taste and aroma, but the taste is still above the level. It’s just that a few of the spices need to be obtained from you.
A single customer's consumption of 100 copper coins can satisfy the average customer, and according to my calculations, after deducting the cost of ingredients and labor, there is still more than half a profit margin. If the daily passenger flow is large enough, you should be able to get good profits. "Rena said clearly.
"This is indeed a very good idea, and it is also very practical." Mag looked at Rena with admiration. He really did not misjudge the person at the beginning. If Bennet successfully poached her, it would definitely be He is a store manager and partner who goes far beyond the qualifications.
Hot pot is the favorite of the general public, and Mag has never thought of shelving it at a high price. The highbrow and low-key are not worthy of hot pot at all.
It's just that Maimi's Restaurant is already busy enough and filled with all kinds of messy things, and he doesn't have time to take care of the feelings of ordinary people.
As Rena said, the ingredients purchased from the system are naturally expensive because of their extremely high quality.
And according to what Reina said, finding local suppliers and making hot pot with ordinary ingredients can greatly reduce the cost and make the price of hot pot more reasonable.
"This is just an immature idea of mine." Reina blushed slightly. She thought her proposal would be strictly rejected by Mag, but she didn't expect it to be approved by him.
Mag looked at Rena with a smile and said: "The idea is very good. The idea of opening a hot pot restaurant to eat the middle and low-end market is also very commercial, and there is a sufficient market. But I don't have time to deal with this aspect at the moment. Things, and you are now in charge of the hot pot area, do you still have the energy to open up new hot pot restaurants?"
"Our restaurant only serves hot pot in the evening, so I am quite free in the morning, but..." Rena looked at Mag and hesitated.
"For the new hot pot restaurant, I will hand over 2 million copper coins to you as the start-up capital. You will be the store manager and be responsible for all the affairs of this store from scratch. The relationship between us is not a superior and a subordinate, but a partnership. Man, I will not participate in any affairs or decisions of this hot pot restaurant. You will own half of the equity of this hot pot restaurant. I will only be responsible for the investment and future dividends." Mag looked at Rena and said with a smile: " Do you have the confidence to do it?”
