Boss Li loses more than he gains

The shopkeeper was worried that his boss would not believe it, so he brought over the account books. Li Mancang checked the accounts one by one, and his chest heaved violently with anger again.

Qin Zhiyi's past two days have been particularly pleasant.

Because Fumanlou has taken away all the customers, their Chengyi Restaurant doesn't have much business.

Although there are two special dishes: stir-fried eel and loach, only a few people came to try it.

But even if there are only a few people, everyone is full of praise after trying these dishes.

Because the business of the restaurant is slow, everyone from the steward to the waiter is still not idle.

It will be August 15th soon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival still needs to be lively. While the waiters in the restaurant were idle, Qin Zhiyi carefully explained to the chef how to make mooncakes, and the waiters in the restaurant also helped and divided them.

work.

The mooncakes she made this time came in many flavors, including snowskin mooncakes, date paste mooncakes, bean paste mooncakes, and in addition, five-nut mooncakes.

The five-nut mooncakes use nuts such as sesame, peanuts, walnuts, and melon seeds. She taught the chef how to peel them. The five-nut mooncakes made this way are soft on the outside and extremely delicious on the inside.

In the past, the reason why she hated eating five-nut mooncakes was because there were many things in them that she didn't like. Now in a place like this, she can make the mooncakes she likes, what flavor she wants, and what flavor she should have.

, it’s all up to her to decide.

In addition to these mooncakes, the salted duck eggs she had pickled before can finally be sold.

In addition to duck eggs, she also asked the guys to make egg yolk mooncakes. This was her first time trying this kind of mooncakes. In addition, she only had these two days to rush the work. She should put them out for sale on August 15th. In the spirit of

With the idea of ​​​​making as much as you can, prepare the materials, and the rest is to let the people in the restaurant get busy.

The people who were idle before were also happy because her shopkeeper launched new products. After all, as long as her shopkeeper launched new products, there would be business.

If you have a business, you can make money, and if you make money, they can still get commissions. Even if the cooking business is not good, it is still good to have other things to make money.

After Qin Zhiyi finished explaining to the restaurant waiters, chefs and stewards, he almost didn't stay in the restaurant anymore. Instead, he and Fei Chengsheng took their two children to learn writing and reading at the house.

It was rare for Aunt Guo to have two free days, because Fei Chengsheng spent these two days teaching them how to read and write.

When the children read a sentence, she followed them. The children listened to Fei Chengsheng interpreting the meaning of the poem, and she also sat aside and listened carefully.

Since she is studying with children, she must set an example.

However, the more he taught Qin Zhiyi, the more different he looked at her.

This was the first time he had seen such a smart little woman.

Like children, she only read poetry books two or three times before fully understanding the meaning.

Although my recitation skills are a bit weak, I can learn to write easily.

After only two days of learning, Qin Zhiyi's calligraphy has improved greatly.

Compared with the crooked handwriting before, it looks much better now.

This made Aunt Guo also praise her, and the two children also continued to encourage her.

She has a strong interest in learning, and her two children are also very interested.

In the evening of the next day, He Changxuan had already come to communicate with them.

"Fumanlou has been overcrowded in the past two days. Many diners went in and refused to leave. As a result, even after eating for two days, the outside was still crowded with people."

Qin Zhiyi was still writing calligraphy calmly. When he heard what He Changxuan said, he asked him again: "I asked the people in the building to make moon cakes. How did they do?"

He Changxuan added: "Before I left, I had already made a lot of them. According to your instructions, I sold them at the door. Our mooncakes are beautiful in color and have many flavors. The people who came to buy them yesterday were just for freshness, but today

It's different. Most of them are repeat customers. When I asked, they all bought it and brought it to their families or relatives for them to try."

Qin Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction: "The festival is tomorrow, let them continue to make it, and they will not sell it after tomorrow. Things of this solar term should be sold before the festival. By the way, did they explain when they sold them? Mooncakes

It’s interesting to watch the moon, drink tea and eat.”

He Changxuan said: "I have informed them and sent out the tea you arranged. Each moon cake comes with a small bag of tea, which is enough to make a pot of tea."

"That's good."

In fact, she originally didn't want to sell the tea so early.

The tea ceremony at this time was very particular, and drinking tea was only done by literati. After all, everything from making tea to boiling tea and then making tea was extremely complicated. Ordinary people simply did not have that leisurely elegance.

She, on the other hand, uses modern methods to make fried tea. This new product has not yet been heavily promoted and is only available in restaurants.

However, mooncakes will become boring if eaten all the time. They are most refreshing when eaten with tea, so she arranged to deliver one pack per serving.

"This tea is also interesting. You can drink it without so much tedious work."

Qin Zhiyi smiled awkwardly: "It also lacks some flavor, such as the leisurely and relaxed atmosphere."

"As long as you drink with the person you want to be with, anything will be fine."

In the blink of an eye, August 15th has arrived.

The restaurant opened early that day, and it was obvious that there were many more people buying breakfast than the previous two days.

Many people who came to buy breakfast also asked if there were any mooncakes left.

In fact, I didn’t make many mooncakes in the first year. In addition, it was still a trial in the first year. I only had two days and I was in a hurry, so they were all sold out yesterday.

The mooncakes left today were also brought back by the store clerk and chef to try for themselves, so Qin Zhiyi came forward in person and told everyone with a smile that the mooncakes were sold out.

Many people have regrets. They only heard that the mooncakes sold by Chengyi Restaurant are particularly delicious and they also give away a bag of tea.

Some people were so curious that they couldn't help but eat half a piece and already had endless aftertaste.

Some people held back and said they would sit in the yard tonight, make a pot of tea, put out a plate of moon cakes, and enjoy the moon while drinking tea and eating moon cakes as a family.

Many people are already envious when they hear it.

Of course, if you don't forget to ask someone to deliver a copy to the Yamen, after all, you still have to understand some rules when doing business.

For example, if you send some mooncakes to the Yamen, it doesn't matter whether the county magistrate accepts them or not, as long as you feel like it.

At noon, there were more people eating.

While eating, many people talked about free meals at Fumanlou yesterday and the day before yesterday.

However, all they said were complaints.

One of them took a sip of wine and said loudly: "Then Fumanlou does it for free. If you can't afford it, don't play. You don't know that Fumanlou's dishes yesterday were full of vegetables and not much meat. The waiters in the restaurant

He even looks like his dead father."

When the people eating around the table heard this, they all laughed.

Qin Zhiyi knows that when doing business, customers must come first.

In their sincere restaurant, not only the waiters and stewards must be uniformly dressed, but they must also be kind to others.

If you make customers feel comfortable and the food tastes good, they will naturally like to come here to eat.
