Wang Jin is not short of money, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so he always prepares some festive gifts for his elders and relatives. This food box is really good, it looks fresh, and it is better than the various precious supplements that have been around for thousands of years. Some.
Xie Lin also aroused some curiosity. He tasted a piece of fish meat, and it was rotten when he licked it with his tongue. Moreover, he could feel a small thorn, but he didn't bite it with his teeth, and the fish bone broke. When I licked it with my tongue, it turned out to be soft.
"This fish is really good. No wonder you have to use this kind of net to carry it. Is this because you are afraid that the fish will break?"
Douzi laughed and said: "Thank you for your good eyesight, sir. Among these dishes, this fish dish is the most laborious. I don't know how to cook it. I heard that it has to be boiled for ten hours, and then it needs to be boiled again." The fire was simmered for ten hours, otherwise, this fish bone would not be so soft and rotten."
Xie Lin nodded. He had eaten a lot of fish since he was a child, but this was the first time he had eaten such delicious fish.
Most steamed fish or stewed fish are always tasteless if they contain white meat. They are either dipped in juice or eaten like steamed buns, but today's one was an eye-opener for him.
"Please, Douzi, please take my boy there. I also want to order ten boxes. No, I have to order twenty boxes before I can share it."
Douzi was not in a hurry to leave, and said: "Two adults, this kind of food box is very particular. The price like the one I am carrying is higher. The plate and the food box belong to the guests, and they cost three or two. The price is one portion. There is another way, which uses a different kind of plate, but the ingredients are the same, and the price is slightly lower, costing two or eight dollars a portion. If you two ask someone to buy it, you have to agree in advance. Which one is it?"
This plate is exquisite, and there are many plates used in the two-layer food box, so it only cost one tael of silver, which is not much.
"You want this, all the plates have this pattern?"
"That's not true. I heard that there are six sets, right? There are six types of flowers, including flowers blooming and wealth, night in the lotus pond, Chang'e flying to the moon, good luck, peace and prosperity, and a bright future. It depends on which one you like."
Xie Lin touched his forehead and smiled: "Brother Xie, such an ingenious idea came from my wife's hand?"
Xie Xiuwen smiled and said nothing.
They were not the only ones eating. Some of the adults around them naturally came over to take a look. After hearing Douzi’s compliments, they all started thinking about it. They immediately took out their money and ordered their servants to follow and make reservations first. .
In fact, Xie Rongzhao secretly learned this sales model from the Fang family in his previous life.
Strictly speaking, this was not the original creation of Fang Yuan's family, but a method invented by the heroine specified in the book.
Now that Xie Rongzhao is using it, he doesn't feel guilty at all.
This kind of food box sells for three taels and eight silver coins, which is equivalent to 3,800 copper coins, but its real cost is not even one tael of silver.
The rest is profit.
If you buy this food box from outside, one of this quality will cost at least 500 yuan each, but Xiangxiang Braised Restaurant orders them directly in batches, so the price is naturally different.
Moreover, the patterns on it were all thought up by themselves. They only temporarily asked craftsmen to customize them. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the craftsmen can use these patterns to take over business, so they are very fond of Xiangxiang Braised Restaurant. Quite grateful.
Therefore, when Xie Rongzhao got this food box, the price was only over 200 yuan.
In order to make these hundreds of food boxes, the craftsman invested more than a dozen people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce more than twenty people a day.
Besides, this plate looks beautiful mainly because it is rare.
A plate with three grids connected into one is very functional and looks exquisite, so it will definitely be liked by some noble people.
What Xie Rongzhao didn't expect was that her launch would be really popular.
On this day, Douzi made a debut by delivering a meal to Xie Xiuwen, and received more than 80 orders that day.
The next day, Xie Rongzhao asked the housekeeper to send a food box to Zhao Yue and Cao Xin respectively. So for the next three days, the shop was too busy just taking orders.
By the ninth day of August, the shop had received orders for more than 500 gift boxes. Most of the government officials ordered a minimum of ten boxes, so the quantity went up very quickly.
Thirty-two or eight dollars may be quite a lot for ordinary people, covering a year's expenses, but for those wealthy families, it may not even be enough for a meal.
In this way, after a Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiangxiang Braised Restaurant will make a lot of money!
Perhaps due to the influence of the Prestige Marquis Mansion, most of the dignitaries in the inner city came to them to order gift boxes. If the quantity was large, they would naturally be overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper had already made preparations. He had started saving food boxes in advance, and now he has saved more than 400 food boxes. He is still working on it, so there shouldn't be any delay. But the kitchen is really busy, and the four The cooks and stoves were extremely busy, so I asked the madam to borrow two more people, so that I could barely make ends meet.
On August 17th, after the bustle of the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, Liu Ruolan had made more than 1,500 taels of silver this month. The Mid-Autumn Festival gift box alone made a net profit of more than 1,200 taels. This figure It's really scary.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they received a total of more than 600 orders for gift boxes. Later, the shopkeeper found a group of craftsmen to participate in making food boxes. Otherwise, they would not be able to accept this order at all.
The rich and powerful families in the inner city all order food boxes for 30 to 8 cents, while some respectable families in the outer city order for 2 to 8 cents. Of course, most of them will buy a braised chicken or duck for 90 cents. of ordinary people.
A Mid-Autumn Festival event like this is worth the shop's profit for several months.
Liu Ruolan put down the account book happily, and then sighed: "Oh, this method is wonderful, but it's a pity that we can't do it every day. We also have to be satisfied. We all worked hard for almost a month to get this profit. Get rewarded!”
With a wave of her hand, Liu Ruolan rewarded the shopkeeper with five taels of silver, and each of the remaining three boys received one tael of silver. In addition, each of them was given a braised chicken.
In addition, Liu Ruolan also gave rewards to his servants. After all, they had been taking turns to help in those days, and they had worked hard.
Because they were worried about the shop's business, neither Xie Xiuwen nor Liu Ruolan went to the villa during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they sent people to send a lot of food, especially moon cakes, with several kinds of fillings.
"Husband, I didn't expect that our sweet boy is so smart and can come up with such a method. Do you think this kid is too smart?"
Xie Xiuwen heard the worry in her tone: "What's wrong?"
Liu Ruolan was a little worried: "People say that wisdom is bound to be injured. I'm worried about whether the good baby will..."
