Chapter 30 The Terrible Big Belly
The restaurant is well decorated, clean and tidy, and the tables, chairs and benches are all brand new pine wood. The first impression is very good, completely different from those dirty taverns.
Wang Jun gave Ye Hua five diners in one breath, which was one of them. Ye Hua told the stonemasons to change the diners into restaurants. The guys were extremely efficient. It has been 10 days since they completed the stockings and the stockings were almost the same. The chef and the guy were trained and they could open business soon.
"This kid's hands and feet are fast enough!"
Chen Tuan also had to be amazed that opening a restaurant is a good way to make money. There are so many dignitaries in the capital, and there are so many wealthy merchants. As long as they attract them and spend a lot of money, they may be able to make a lot of money in a few years.
Don’t always underestimate young people, as young people are terrifying!
Chen Tuan thought so, subconsciously picked up the menu, and after taking a look, his old face grew!
He has been traveling around the world for so many years, and the menu in front of him is probably the easiest!
Even the noodle restaurants and temple fairs on the street will make more tricks to attract customers. But this menu is good, with only one dish, the only difference is large, medium, and small!
Chen Tuan was unwilling to accept it after reading it three times. He went to the next table to bring the menu and checked it carefully. He found that there was nothing wrong with this restaurant only selling braised chicken!
The old Taoist felt that his head was square and not enough!
You have made 5 curtains and are decorated so well. You can attract wealthy people, but you just want to put on garlic and sell only one dish. Why don’t you go to heaven?
The old Taoist is almost 70 years old and has never seen anyone doing business like this. It would be strange if he doesn’t lose his life!
Ye Hua smiled happily and walked around the restaurant for a long time. He even looked at the corners. He cleaned up very cleanly. No problem. The kitchen was the same. There were more than a dozen apprentices in charge. Ye Hua snapped his fingers and said, "Two big portions!"
After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat and said to Chen Tuan: "Sorry, there is no vegetarian meal. Taoist priest, you don't eat meat, right?"
Before Chen Tuan could speak, his apprentice sold the old Taoist.
"Of course my master eats meat, and he likes to eat dog meat the most... In fact, serious Taoists do not eat "five annoyances", that is, dogs, cows, turtles, snakes, and geese, because dogs and cows are loyal and righteous things, while turtles, snakes, and geese are spiritual beasts, and they cannot be eaten. But the master told me that they cannot eat in front of people, and they will do whatever they want after people..."
Chen Tuan was so angry that he could not hear him! The old Taoist priest hugged his shoulders in anger, closed his eyes, and pretended not to hear.
But he didn't hold it for too long, and the rich fragrance made him open his eyes.
The casserole was filled with chicken, steaming hot, and placed in front of it. It was golden in color. It looked like it was appetizing with vegetables and mushrooms. Chen Shi picked up a chopstick without hesitation. The tender and smooth chicken was crushed by his teeth, and the thick gravy filled the tip of his tongue. It was so delicious!
He ate a few pieces in a row, and then he remembered that the master had not yet!
Chen Shi reluctantly gave his pot to Chen Tuan and instructed: "Master, eat it, disciples are waiting!"
Chen Tuan snorted, "I'm pretty conscientious."
Chen Tuan picked up a piece of chicken and tasted it. It tasted good. He ate it with his head down. Chen Shi stared at him, and his saliva was about to flow down. Ye Hua couldn't bear to see, so he had to stuff one of his own to Chen Shi.
"You guys eat it, give me another one!"
Chen Shi laughed proudly, "Huazi, it's so good for you to just ask for three servings, but you can't eat them yourself. It's so pitiful!"
Chen Shi ignored Ye Hua, shook his cheeks and stuffed meat into his mouth. He was not satisfied with eating meat. He learned without any help, grabbed a large spoon and poured the rich soup into the fragrant rice.
Not long after, all three large bowls of rice were in my stomach, and there was no meat left in the casserole. He burped loudly and said to Ye Hua: "Next time, the soup is a little more, I can eat three more bowls!"
Ye Hua lowered his head and ate the serving he had just delivered. He didn't want to say something more to Dajizhu, which was too embarrassing.
At this time, Chen Tuan also put down his chopsticks. The old Taoist ate two large bowls of rice, his face shining. He picked his teeth while commenting.
"The chicken is barely enough, it can only be said to be delicious, and it is okay to use it to fill the stomach. If you want to say how much money you can make, the old man doesn't believe it at all!"
Chen Shi curled his lips, "Master, aren't you very happy to eat? Why do you say you can't make money?"
"What do you know!" Chen Tuan said, "Just one dish, even if it is delicacies, I'm tired of eating it a few times. Can you be willing to come every day when you are a high and a high-ranking official? How many poor people can afford meat every day? This restaurant is either high or low or low. It may be a few days after opening, perhaps because of its freshness, it will attract a lot of people. But after a month or a half, it will be deserted, and after three or five months, it will lose money in at most a year or a half!"
Chen Shi couldn't turn his mind, and he looked at Ye Hua in confusion, "Huazi, is my master right?"
At this time, Ye Hua also eliminated a bowl of rice. He had a period of time in his previous life, and he had to eat it every now and then. If he didn’t eat it more than three times a week, he felt uncomfortable!
But as Chen Tuan said, eating too much food will make you get tired of it. Ye Hua didn’t know when he smelled the smell of braised chicken and felt a little nauseous and never wanted to try it again.
In this life, Ye Hua can only barely give his products 60 points, and he can't even score a point more.
"Shitou, Taoist priest is right, and I don't expect to attract high-ranking officials and nobles to come. But this restaurant will not be as high as low as possible, because my positioning is to be affordable and cheap food."
"Critical? How cheap can it be?"
"Big portion 20 papers, medium portion 15 papers, small portion 10 papers, and small portion 10 papers. In addition, after the official opening, there will be soup and pickles. By the way, rice is enough, add as much as you eat!"
"You're crazy!"
The master and apprentice spoke in unison, not believing it. At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded outside.
"Ye Changshi, I heard that you have opened a restaurant, so we are here to support you."
Ye Hua looked at the door and walked in three people, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, and Han Tong.
It turned out that after Guo Wei waived the bull rent, he wanted to abolish the camp. Chai Rong went to Kaifeng for investigation and decided whether it was feasible.
After traveling for several days, after returning to Beijing, he happened to meet Zhao Kuangyin running to Ye Hua's restaurant, and Chai Rong followed him. He felt that although Ye Hua was young, he had some wonderful ideas and just listened to his opinions and used them as a reference.
Unexpectedly, Ye Hua actually started a business, and Chai Rong became curious.
"If you have any good wine and food, bring us all. Don't worry, you must pay according to the price. I understand your rules!" Chai Rong said with a smile.
Not long after, three portions of braised chicken were brought up. The kitchen also knew that a big shot was coming, so it also brought some pickles and a pot of soup.
Whether it was Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, or Chai Rong, they were all military generals, with a big belly man, and they swayed their cheeks and quickly reduced the chicken. They ate them all in a few bites in a bowl of rice.
Zhao Kuangyin stared at the empty bowl, not knowing what to do.
Ye Hua was very considerate and asked the guy to add food to them. It was not a big deal now. The three of them had a very faint appetite. Chai Rong ate the least and ate 5 bowls, Han Tong ate 6 bowls, and Zhao Kuangyin ate 8 bowls!
Not only did the braised chicken disappear, but even the pickles and a large pot of soup were gone. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin was still unsatisfied!
He patted his bulging belly and smiled: "Ye Changshi's restaurant is good, just one dish, so you don't have to worry about what to eat. The amount is enough, the rice is delicious, I will definitely come here often in the future!"
Han Tong wiped the oil from his mouth and said happily: "That's right, not only will we come, but we will also greet other brothers and support them together!"
After hearing what they said, Old Chen Tuan's face turned dark, and even Chen Shi was not natural.
A full bowl of rice is worth at least one cent, a large casserole chicken, and the ingredients alone cost seven or eight cents, oil, salt, seasonings, pots and pans, chefs and shop decoration... All of them are added together. Although Chen Shi's brain is not very fast, he still understands that if he is such a military man, he can close the restaurant.
