After Xiao Zhang left, Li Youran asked Uncle Qi, how are the other customers who bought fish doing now?
Uncle Qi told him that those customers didn't know that there were higher-end fish in the fish pond, and he deliberately didn't tell him. As a result, he is still buying carp, grass carp and the like. (duk an,)
Li Youran nodded, that's it. There aren't many high-end fish in the first place, and they have to give priority to private restaurants. As for customers, just keep pretending to be confused if you can hide it.
In addition, we learned from the feedback from Chef Liu that the current price of Class B banquets with private dishes priced at 12,000 yuan has been increasingly in short supply recently, which far exceeded original expectations.
When most customers place an order for a meal, they usually ask if there are Class B banquets. If not, they will downgrade to Class C standard banquets.
The service foreman Xiao Zhou also came up with a trick here. Every night when the business is open, she hangs a small wooden sign outside the door of each private room according to the reservation situation, with the eye-catching words B and C on it, and also uses different colors.
distinguish.
The reason for doing this is to prevent the waiter from delivering the wrong dish and causing unnecessary trouble.
It sounds reasonable, but in actual use, there is another effect, that is, there is no trouble of delivering the wrong dish, but it causes a trend of comparison among guests.
Especially those who mainly treat guests. Originally, a Class C banquet was enough to meet their needs. However, when they were coming in and out, and were being sent off, they saw other people's private rooms with higher-level signs than their own. It was really a bit embarrassing to save face.
accurate.
The price difference of two thousand yuan is completely negligible in the eyes of these customers who have long been separated from basic needs.
Therefore, it is natural that the supply of Class B banquets exceeds the demand.
But the supervisor, Chef Liu, has his own ideas and does not try his best to meet the needs of the guests, even if there is something in the pool. Ladder consumption is necessary, so as to create a certain psychological gap and sense of urgency, making high-end banquets
The status and brand effect form enough weight in the minds of guests.
For this reason, even if you make less money, you won’t hesitate. Therefore, the private restaurant still opens with a configuration of two, three, and two, every night. When ordering food, you naturally line up in order, first come, first served, and no negotiation is allowed.
When Li Youran and Uncle Qi talked about this matter, they both found it very interesting.
Uncle Qi said with emotion that there is so much marketing knowledge nowadays, covering all aspects. He really couldn't understand these things before taking the class.
"Uncle Qi, high-end customers are not like ordinary working-class people. They pay attention to affordable prices and good quality in everything they buy. There are many things here. You see, according to this pattern, when our Grade A banquet is launched, it will still be popular.
." Li Youran said confidently.
Just as he was talking about this, the car horn blared twice outside the courtyard gate, and then the Jinbei truck from the logistics department drove in in reverse and retreated to the side of the fish pond.
The car door opened, and Feng Daniu, wearing a single vest, jumped out.
Seeing that Li Youran and Uncle Qi were there, they started shouting excitedly.
"Boss, Uncle Qi, look what I got back."
Li Youran and Uncle Qi looked at each other and walked over together.
"Da Niu, seeing how successful you are, it must have something to do with the fish pond. Let me guess, did you buy anchovies or something?" Li Youran immediately thought of this, and it seems that he has not done so recently.
Nothing else could make Director Feng Daniu so happy.
Feng Daniu's face froze, and then he said rather discouraged:
"The boss is the boss. It's so boring to win the first guess."
"Brother Niu, you have everything written on your face. It's so easy to guess." Xiao Xia chimed in from the side.
Haha, everyone present was happy.
"Okay, stop teasing me, let's unload the car."
Feng Daniu opened the carriage door, directed two guys to lift down several plastic water tanks covered with nylon mesh covers, placed them under the shade of a tree against the wall, and opened the mesh covers.
Li Youran took a closer look and saw that the box contained dozens of half-large fish that were more than ten centimeters long, oval-shaped and flattened on the sides. The back and head were gray-black, with a slight blue-green luster on the upper side, and silver on the lower side and abdomen. It's white and the mouth is quite big.
Is this the famous shad? It doesn’t seem to be outstanding in appearance.
Anchovy is a precious freshwater fish, famous for its fresh taste and fine meat, and extremely high nutritional value. Among them, the wild Yangtze River shad is the best, but it is said to be on the verge of extinction and has no market price.
Feng Daniu saw Boss Xiao Li looking confused and said quickly:
"It must be anchovies, I can guarantee that, but they are farmed. The wild ones are almost all caught, and there is really no place to find them."
"Yes, boss, you don't know, our brother Niu is thinking about these things all day long and has almost become an appraisal expert." said a waiter next to him.
"What expert? Don't talk nonsense." Feng Daniu glared at the waiter.
Then, he told Li Youran that he bought these shad from the fish farmer in Douhu Township in the west last time. That person was really capable. He cooperated with an aquaculture research institute to artificially breed shad and has already raised them. I have built two acres of fish ponds, but because the time is still short, there are no big fish yet.
In addition, the price of this fish is not cheap. It costs over one hundred yuan per catty. It is the most expensive fish that the logistics department has ever purchased.
Li Youran naturally knew that since Feng Daniu became the head of the logistics department, he had put a lot of effort into purchasing things within the scope of the hotel's procurement. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an expert in this area.
Since he said there is no problem and the fish’s origin is clear, then don’t worry.
As for the price being a little higher, it doesn't matter. The price of anchovies processed by space streams can increase more than ten times when served on the table, and some people pay for it.
At this time, the puppy Leopard Ball also ran over to join in the fun, sniffing around the plastic water tank with his little nose.
"Uncle Qi, this dog can't eat fish, right? Anchovies are very expensive." Feng Daniu couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the little guy's mouth very close to these precious fish cubs.
"Haha, Leopard Ball is very honest and won't eat randomly. Besides, this is not a cat. That thing will die when it sees fish." Uncle Qi said with a smile.
As if to prove that Uncle Qi's statement was correct, Leopard Ball sniffed for a while, then sat obediently next to Li Youran's legs, watching closely without saying a word.
"Hey, this dog is really good, he looks smart." Feng Daniu praised.
Li Youran touched Leopard Ball's head as a sign of encouragement. It seemed that he could train it to do a few more moves later.
Next, he told Feng Daniu that he should not be afraid of the price of high-end fish. As long as he could be sure, he would make the decision and continue to purchase the fish.
Feng Daniu nodded and said that he would be careful, and then directed the clerk to disinfect the water tank and put the fish into the pond.
It seems that it won't be long before the Class A banquet can be opened, so that the Youran Farm private restaurant can form a complete system. Li Youran made a plan in his mind.
