After dinner, everyone stayed together to watch the New Year's Eve. He Yunxi was tired from the whole day, so he sat on the rocking chair and watched a few little guys being funny, laughing from ear to ear. However, when Xu Shimo arrived, the four little guys couldn't hold on any longer, so they all went to sleep.
Lu Yan asked Liu to go to bed. Although her body had recovered, she couldn't stay up late.
Needless to say, Xie Yuanming had no idea about staying up late and went to bed early.
Liang Jinxi wanted to stay up late, but he went to bed early at the Lu family's house. He had already developed a biological clock and felt sleepy by then, so he finally went to bed.
In the end, only Lu Yan and He Yunxi were left.
As for the other servants, they all live in an abandoned house in the front yard.
As the two of them stayed vigil, He Yunxi suggested going to Lu Yan's study.
The study is not very big, and there is no kang, so you won't feel cold after burning the charcoal pot.
He Yunxi felt that she had nothing to do, so she just wrote the plan for the shop. Since the condiment shop was almost planned, she wrote the plan for the hot pot restaurant first.
Lu Yan didn't bother her and took a book to read next to the desk.
Neither of them spoke, and the study was quiet. Only the dim light danced in the cold winter, lengthening the shadows of the two.
He Yunxi wrote attentively. She had never written a planning document in her previous life, but after reading the template and adding her own ideas, she wrote it very smoothly.
Lu Yan was not as focused as she was. He would look up at her from time to time. When he saw her, she was either busy writing or biting her pen and mumbling. In short, she didn't even look at him.
But even so, he also felt that such a night was wonderful, and a heart that had been wandering for a long time seemed to have found a harbor where it belonged.
It wasn't until midnight that He Yunxi put down his pen and rubbed his neck.
"Did you finish writing?" Lu Yan had been silent until he suddenly spoke, his voice a little deep and soft, as if a fallen stone had fallen into the ripples of spring water.
He Yunxi wrote so seriously that he forgot about Lu Yan beside him and that they were watching the New Year's Eve. Hearing his voice, there was still an unreal feeling.
Lu Yan saw her in a daze and asked again: "Is it finished?"
"Yes." He Yunxi came back to his senses, "I wrote a first draft and included everything I can think of now. If I think of anything later, I will add more."
"Can I see it?"
"Of course. It's a bit long. Take your time and watch. I'm a little hungry. I'm going to cook two bowls of noodles. Let's have some midnight snacks?"
"good."
Lu Yan was not hungry, but when he ate at night, he noticed that she didn't eat much. When he asked her, she said that she smelled too much oil smoke during the day, and she lost her appetite when eating.
It was already midnight and she must be hungry.
He Yunxi pushed the door open and went out. It was snowing outside. As soon as she opened the door, a cold wind hit her face with snowflakes. She held a lantern in one hand and gathered her cloak with the other.
After she got used to the temperature, she went to the kitchen with a lantern.
The night shrouded the entire world in darkness, with only the dim light stolen from the study window and the light in her hand.
The two lights flashed together, as if they were echoing each other in the darkness.
He Yunxi went to the kitchen with a lantern, lit the oil lamp and blew out the lantern, then went to boil water to cook noodles. Soon two bowls of noodles were ready. Because the weather was too cold, she put them in basins and cooked them again.
I put my cotton clothes inside to keep warm, then carried the basket to the study.
Lu Yan had already read her plan, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even recover now.
This kind of plan takes into account almost every aspect of the hot pot business. Just by looking at it, he will know what she thinks about this hot pot restaurant, what conditions it currently has, what kind of problems she faces, and how to solve those problems.
.
After reading it, he completely understood her current situation.
"It's time to eat noodles." He Yunxi opened the door and came in, put the basket on the bed table, and took out two bowls of still warm noodles.
Lu Yan stood up and came over and said, "Your plan makes people's blood boil."
"This is all written based on templates I have seen before." He Yunxi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles and asked: "How is it? Do you think it is feasible?"
"It's feasible. Except for the capital and manpower, your other plans are very good." Lu Yan nodded.
"Yes, unfortunately money and manpower are the biggest problems. Because of these two problems, the hot pot restaurant has to postpone preparations." He Yunxi said, "However, I am not in a hurry. When the seasoning business picks up, the money will come later.
Things will be easier to talk about."
"In your plan, the budget for the hot pot restaurant is two thousand taels. Do you want to buy a shop?"
"I have this plan. I asked Wang Si and he said that the shops in Liaozhou City generally do not exceed one thousand taels."
"That's just for an ordinary location. If you go by the standards you like to have a yard, it would cost more than a thousand and a half," Lu Yan said.
"It will be much more convenient to have a yard. If the shop costs one thousand five to two thousand, then the cost should be estimated to be around three thousand taels." He Yunxi said, "It seems that this plan will have to be postponed a little longer."
"What about renting?"
He Yunxi shook his head: "I have no idea of renting it for the time being."
"Why?"
"If you want to build a restaurant or hot pot restaurant, you need to decorate it. It's not your own shop, so it's not that convenient. If the business is just starting out, it will be very troublesome if the other party breaks the contract and refuses to rent." He Yunxi said, "Besides, the donkey-hide gelatin cake that was settled years ago is very troublesome."
The share will be more than two hundred, and it won't be less than this in the future. Including the seasonings sold after the new year, one or two thousand taels should not last more than a few months. If Uncle Mu's share is more, it may not take long."
It’s not that renting is definitely not possible, but she feels that she has the ability to buy, but it’s just two or three months late, so she is more willing to buy. And she doesn’t have the energy to open a hot pot restaurant right now, so there is no need to rush
.
Lu Yan understood her thinking and thought it was okay.
"What about the person? From your plan, buying someone is the most suitable." He asked.
"You can also buy someone, but you have to find the right one." He Yunxi said, "This hot pot is actually not complicated. The important thing is the frying of the soup base. This is the top priority, and you must buy the right one.
For other things, you can just recruit and buy people.”
Hot pot is very simple, the key lies in the hot pot ingredients. If the hot pot ingredients are delicious, the food will be delicious. If the hot pot ingredients are not delicious, then it will not attract customers. As for the side dishes, there is no technical content.
This is also the reason why you could see hot pot restaurants everywhere in previous lives.
The two of them talked about opening the shop while eating. After eating, Lu Yan took the initiative to put the bowl in the basket, and then the two of them continued to watch the New Year until Zi Shizhong arrived.
"Crackling——"
As soon as the time came, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside.
