Chapter 197: Business is booming
There were many relatives staying overnight on the opening day, including my uncle Zhang Yugen and his wife, my fourth uncle's family of three, my eldest cousin's family of three, etc. Each of the six bunk beds was arranged for each person.
Of course, the fourth uncle's family of three went to live in the Huang Han family's room in the ancestral home, where everything was available and very convenient.
Fortunately, it's summer, so it doesn't matter if you don't have a mosquito net. As long as you light the mosquito coils, you can lie down and sleep.
If it is the cold winter, there are not so many beddings at home for reception, and it is necessary to transport a large amount of straw to the fifth aunt Fang Guilan's natal family to bedding the bed.
Today Huang Han's family of five are staying in the west room upstairs in the hotel, and they all sleep together on the "Three Drops of Water Carved Big Bed".
In fact, "crowded" is not the right word to describe it. Two adults and three skinny children sleep on this big bed, and they don't feel crowded at all.
Not only Huang Xin and Huang Qi felt fresh and excited, but Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen also laughed non-stop.
Huang Han smiled, from the bottom of his heart, and slept silently in the corner of the "Three Drops of Water Carved Big Bed" without saying a word.
He was enjoying this warmth, knowing that this might be the last time in his life that the whole family would sleep together on a big bed.
July 29th will be the real opening to the outside world.
Due to the exclusive bustle of "Shi Jing Cheng Restaurant", the direct result is that the business is booming, not only the takeout is 130 pots, but the turnover is more than 90 yuan.
In fact, if there are enough enamel basins, enough snakeheaded fish, and crayfish, the takeout volume can be doubled.
The liveliness is not exaggerated. At this time, no store could play popular songs all day long. Some people even came here to listen to the music instead of buying anything.
Huang Daozhou spent the whole afternoon and evening apologizing to his customers because he couldn't do business at all when the enamel basins at home were used up.
Later, many customers who lived not far away actually went home and brought various containers, so more than 130 copies were sold, which was greater than the number of enamel basins.
What was unexpected was that the dine-in business actually had nine tables, and the turnover was more than 70 yuan not including the money for drinks and soda.
Eat in or take out, the price is the same, a portion of pickled fish costs one yuan, a black fish killed alive is two pounds, and a portion of thirteen-spice crayfish costs six cents, which is two pounds of fresh crayfish.
Including the liquor and orange water sold for more than 30 yuan, the final turnover reached 207 yuan.
The gross profit is about half. After deducting the wages of Xiu'er, Yu'er and Huang Daowu who volunteered to help, as well as electricity and coal costs, the net profit should be close to one hundred yuan on the first day.
Seeing the convenience of living here, and seeing Huang Daozhou's enthusiastic invitation to stay, my uncle and fourth uncle were not in a hurry to go home. Zhang Yugen and the others went to see the movie "The Mysterious Big Buddha" again today.
Why do you use the word "again"? Yesterday, Huang Han had bought fifteen movie tickets and invited his uncle, fourth uncle, several cousins, etc. to fifteen adults and four or five children to watch the movie.
Huang Han knows that the movie "The Mysterious Buddha" is definitely thrilling and a bit scary for audiences of this era.
As expected, my uncle and cousin all thought it was good to watch and actually wanted to see it again.
On the night of the 29th, Huang Daozhou's family of five continued to sleep on the "three drops of water carved bed".
It was already half past nine, and Huang Han's eyelids began to fight. He was used to going to bed early and getting up early, and he was very sleepy at this time.
However, Huang Daozhou, Zhang Fangfen, and Huang Xin were in a state of excitement, and the little girl followed them and was busy all day long. At this time, they had already fallen asleep.
Zhang Fangfen said, "I didn't expect the business to be so good. I was exhausted this day. Fortunately, Huang Han was smart and asked Yu'er to stay and help early on. Yesterday, he made the decision to keep Magnolia, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to dance."
"
"Can't dance anymore" is also a Sanshui County dialect, which can be understood to be a little stronger than "too busy".
Huang Daozhou said happily, "Haha, I originally saw Huang Han buying a hundred enamel basins on his own initiative and thought he bought too much.
Who would have thought that it was only the first day and there was no one left in the house. If they don’t return it tomorrow, how will the business be done tomorrow?”
Zhang Fangfen said, "Guilan and Huifen both told me to go home and look for them. We should use theirs first. There should be seven or eight. The kid from Chengwen Pavilion said he could get at least fifteen. I estimate there are twenty."
A few, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo are here all day today. Their mission is to prevent thieves and help maintain order.
Huang Han did not do anything specific, but carefully observed the customers coming and going.
It is important to take preventive measures before they happen, and Huang Han actually discovered the thief who was about to strike.
The two thieves didn't get a chance in the end because they found two or three teenagers staring at them.
Even though Huang Han had identified the thief, there was nothing he could do to let Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo catch him. To catch a thief was to seize the stolen goods. If the thief did not take action and did it himself, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?
Cheng Wenge never lied. He said that with fifteen enamel basins, there would be no more than no less.
I guess he has quite a few at home, so just go to his father's apprentice's house and look for them all.
Today is too busy. Huang Xin is responsible for collecting deposits, work permits, and arranging numbers to collect money.
In fact, this is also a feature of the takeout service of "The Things Come True Restaurant". There is currently no deli in Sanshui County that does this. This is of course Huang Han's idea.
Huang Han cut out cardboard in advance and wrote a hundred number plates with a brush.
After paying the money, the customer gets the number and can sit in the hotel and wait, or go to the cinema entrance to read the posters and the newspapers in the window and the movie reviews written by the audience.
Customers waiting in the store not only have a seat, but also a cup of tea to drink, they can also listen to nice songs, and there is a ceiling fan blowing the air, which is very comfortable!
This kind of treatment is completely different from standing in line in the sun at a food company's deli, so today's customers are basically waiting in the store to be called.
Customers finally know how long it is to wait in line for shopping! They all say that the service attitude of this "Shi Jing Cheng Restaurant" is much better than that of state-owned units, and I wonder how the business will be in the future!
Huang Xin said, "Mom and dad, don't worry, I've made an agreement with every uncle and aunt.
I told them that our family had no net bag and we couldn't do business with the enamel basin. They were very reasonable and said that they would definitely remember to return it when they go to work tomorrow."
"I never expected that business would be so good! I'm so happy that I can't even sleep!"
Seeing that the usually calm Zhang Fangfen was so excited, Huang Han reminded, "Mom, you've been tired for a day, go to bed quickly, don't get excited, our family will make money for a long time!"
The sudden wealth of a small family really excited Zhang Fangfen, who had quickly become a habit of being poor.
This store belongs to her. She is a self-employed person and a property owner. Although she is confident in doing business, she is still uneasy.
Today is the day to formally receive the guests and hand in the test paper. With a score of sixty, Zhang Fangfen is satisfied. Who would have thought that this result is a perfect full score plus additional questions!
