"Oh..."
Thunder Dragon finished his volunteer work in the afternoon. When he returned to the small restaurant, the first thing he saw was that there were about 16 or 17 people sitting next to Brother Zhang. They were sitting upright, taking small bites of the food on the plate. They were wearing only one piece of clothing. Sai Yiyi was so gorgeous and neat that he didn't look like he was dining in a small restaurant at all, but like a palace dinner.
No one spoke during the whole process, but from time to time they would raise their heads to glance at the program played on the 100-inch large TV, as if they were enjoying the performance of the Royal Circus. They were even so elegant that they were sure to drink from cups. They use paper towels to wipe away the oil and meat juice on their lips. It can be seen from the way they use knives and forks to cut steaks, and the strange gripping posture that seems to be specially designed to slow down the eating speed. People are definitely true aristocrats and they are top-notch aristocrats.
Thunder Dragon walked over to Brother Zhang, reached out and took out a piece of sausage, put it in his mouth and ate it: "Is this it? Can they understand what I'm saying?"
Brother Zhang shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Thunder Dragon became bolder: "Where do these people work? Where did you capture the ancient nobles from? In my impression, the one who has the most trouble with a meal is Arthur. sit."
Brother Zhang probably explained to Thunder Dragon the origins of these people. It can be said that it is imperative to open a branch now, so he invited them to try out the food here to see if it could meet the taste of the people there.
"Then you're done." Thunder Dragon hurriedly shook his head and said: "Who are these people? Can these people eat the same food as the working people? You said you sell them a gold coin for a piece of beef, do you think about it? Can you exceed the purchasing power of one gold coin?"
Brother Zhang probably recalled that since there was no detailed anchor as a reference, it was difficult to figure out the prices there, so he told Brontosaurus everything he knew.
"It's simple. You just said that two cups of wheat over there are about one pound. How much does one cup of wheat cost? One copper plate, right. Then one pound of rough-processed wheat here is about one dollar and a half, so theirs There are about two basic units per kilogram. One copper plate is equivalent to about seventy cents. One silver coin is one hundred copper plates and seventy yuan, and one gold coin is ten silver coins, which is seven hundred yuan. What do you think? Would a working-class family spend 700 yuan to eat a plate of meat? It's possible, but not much. It can even be said to be less. If I really have the luxury to eat in a restaurant, I definitely won't eat like this. Five times on the grass. It’s human nature.”
This ancient joke made Brother Zhang laugh out loud, five times on the grass... But it seems that it is true. It is meaningless to just rely on these people to evaluate the quality of food. They have great opinions on food. Both the standard and the consumption level are far from ordinary people. When Xiao Zhang opened a small shop next to the moat, his target customers were the middle and lower class customers. The advantage of choosing the middle class is that he doesn’t need to go there anymore. Being tortured by the heinous quality control requirements of those at the top, secondly, it can also escape the curse of low price and large quantity.
So now inviting these people to dinner is actually, to put it bluntly, a group of gentlemen and ladies from the imperial city are here to taste it. Their judging standards are too high and have even exceeded Brother Zhang's expectations.
Sure enough, after eating, they did put forward corresponding opinions as Brother Zhang said, but Brother Zhang also discovered a problem at the same time, that is, the opinions they put forward were very professional and very high-end, such as the use of salt. , they all need to be accurate to the gram, and the wood for baking meat also needs to be adjusted...
Yes, indeed what they said makes sense, because this is meat worth one gold coin, and this gold coin is worthy of careful selection, but this goes against Brother Zhang’s original intention of escaping from perverted quality control, so although he We took the advice into consideration, but decided to change our business policy.
After sending away these elegant nobles, only Gray was left in the small restaurant. She told Brother Zhang that the meal had actually met their expectations, and was even better. Their last opinion was just to consider Brother Zhang made the request before, so he was picky about it.
"I understand, so I have to adjust my business direction now." Brother Zhang smiled and said to Gray, "Can you still eat it?"
Gray nodded sheepishly, and then glanced at the Brontosaurus next to her who was also sizing her up. She raised her skirt very generously and saluted, and the Brontosaurus immediately stood up straight and returned the favor. Gray was very surprised. Gray was amazed by the elegance of Thunder Dragon, and his unique yuppie temperament also made Gray feel very eye-catching.
Brother Zhang didn't care what they were looking at around him. He just turned around and took out a piece of fried chicken nuggets, a piece of dry fried bread, a piece of curry fish eggs and a glass of light beer. He placed these things in front of Gray, Lei was shocked when she saw it, but she still started to eat it in small bites.
Perhaps it was because she had just eaten the top-notch roast beef, but she felt that the current food was a little lower than before. Even though it was generally delicious,... it just lacked a little soul.
After trying everything, Gray frowned and was about to express his opinion when Brother Zhang suddenly smiled and said, "Everything here is one silver coin."
"Great, this is perfect."
Gray swallowed all his opinions at once. With so many things only costing one silver coin, what kind of bicycle is needed? You must know that although these things are somewhat different from the previous top-notch foods, they are still delicious and can even be said to be sophisticated. It is roughly estimated that in the Rose City, known as the capital of gourmet food, the delicious ones are ten times more expensive than this. Times or even dozens of times, those with the same price are just the same as this, and those cheaper than this are only worthy of being fed to pigs.
Moreover, these things now seem to be soaked in grease, and grease is a scarce material in the Rose Empire and even the entire continent. It is used as a strategic reserve during wartime, but these things are used almost regardless of cost in these seemingly cheap Among the food, it is no exaggeration to say that this must be very popular among the middle-class people.
As for Brother Zhang, there is actually no loss, and he can even make a net profit of more than 40%, because he pays for the meal at a cost of 30 yuan, and the weight of this silver coin is a standard 35 grams. , according to the current BY market recycling price of three yuan and a half, a silver coin is worth about one hundred yuan. Putting aside labor, equipment losses, etc., the net profit is even more than forty.
But if you look at the purchasing power there, a silver coin is worth about 70 yuan. After all costs are included, you can probably earn 20 yuan, which is a reasonable range. Just because the currency and value of the two worlds can only exist in estimation, so now everyone counts their own, the buyer counts the buyer's gain, and the seller counts the seller's gain and loss.
Because fats and oils are very expensive there, this carbohydrate bomb set meal containing a lot of fats and oils may even be a loss there, but from Brother Zhang's perspective, he did make a profit.
At this moment, Brother Zhang probably understood how those bad guys made money...
After understanding this model, Brother Zhang quickly made a new request, that is, he wanted Gray to invite some less high-end people to try the food. Gray agreed to this immediately. After all, compared to those A high-end relative, Gray knows too many strange creatures.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Gray and Brother Zhang made an appointment for tomorrow, and if there are no surprises this time, after they come over and make adjustments based on their opinions, basically the first branch in the different world can be officially opened.
As for whether the materials are enough, it should be enough, because Zhang Yao, as a doomsday vigilant, has stocked more than two hundred tons of supplies in her base, including almost forty tons of freeze-dried vegetables and fruits, as well as various Meat and staple food, and after filling her island, she set her sights on Brother Zhang's very powerful cold storage. In the past two years, she has successively bought more than 20 tons of supplies and stored them in the small island. Brother Zhang, just a few days ago she called Xu Wei and told Xu Wei that she didn't want those things anymore because she had built an automated chicken farm on her island. In order to prevent human beings from being wiped out, she even He also plans to build an all-powerful mammalian gene bank in the next step and become the Eve of the new world...
But she can do whatever she wants. When Xiao Zhang came back and took a look at her inventory, she was really speechless as she was now. It would have been fine if she was really serious about hoarding things. But the key point was that Zhang Yao did her own thing when she was hoarding things. Out of temper, I stocked up nearly 10,000 packs of chicken popcorn. It seems that this is not a fear of human extinction but a fear of chicken extinction. After the extinction, there will be no chicken popcorn to eat.
After Gray left, Brontosaurus leaned on the counter and watched her leave. He waited until he could see nothing and then asked, "This should be a princess-level princess, and a princess with real power."
Brother Zhang was not surprised at all by Brontosaurus's unique sense of smell for women, he just let out a dull hum.
"Don't you want to know how I know?"
"I don't want to." Brother Zhang shook his head.
Thunder Dragon was silent for a moment, maybe feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, but he actually started talking to himself: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Among a group of people, the person with the most outstanding ability, the highest status, and the most power will usually show off... Far more calm than others, you see such a large group of nobles sitting there, while others eat quietly and walk quietly, but she doesn't care about these people, she just has a series of discussions with you, the master, at the end Communication, in other words, those people are not important in her eyes. If there is someone here with a higher status than her, the person who comes to talk to you will not be Her Highness the Princess, but will be led by Her Highness the Princess. Let the two of you communicate."
Brother Zhang didn't say anything, he just raised his head and asked Thunder Dragon: "Do you want to get to know him?"
"Forget it, forget it, I'm getting older, and I don't care so much about these flowers and plants anymore." Thunder Dragon waved his hand, and then suddenly changed the subject: "Next time you go over, take me with you to see them, anyway. There’s nothing to do now.”
