Chapter 917 Price Killer

Frankly speaking, the first time Zou Guodong went to Salia to eat, the initial experience was not good.

And this unpleasant emotion is completely opposite to when I went to get a haircut just now.

When getting a haircut, how happy he was when he saw the hairdressing salon, how depressed Zou Guodong is now.

Not for anything else, just because the restaurant Ning Weimin took him to was actually located upstairs from a vegetable market.

The location of the restaurant is terrible!
Not to mention the noisy chaos of bargaining and the flow of people in the market, there is also a lot of sewage, vegetable leaves and garbage on the ground of the market.

The key is that the restaurant is still at the end of the vegetable market, which belongs to the corner of the corner.

Even the stairway leading to the restaurant is full of foam boxes and sundries that vendors use to keep fresh.

And as soon as you walk into the market, you can smell a strong seafood smell.

A place like this, not to mention the western food that needs to pay attention to the atmosphere, is not to mention the "tall" business.

In Zou Guodong's view, even running an ordinary restaurant is very difficult.

If you open a restaurant here, probably no one will patronize it except for the vendors in the market.

Not to mention inconvenient, the key is dirty, messy and smelly.

Who would want to dine in such a poor place?
So before arriving at the destination, Zou Guodong couldn't help expressing his doubts.

"I said Weimin, are we going to the wrong place? How can there be a western restaurant in this kind of place? Who would come here to eat?"

Ning Weimin didn't explain, but continued to walk in vaguely.

"Just come with me. I've been here several times, and I can't make a mistake. Don't worry."

"Really? You have been here several times? Is it really here?" Zou Guodong became more and more puzzled, "But...but didn't the Japanese say they love cleanliness the most? How could they choose such a messy place to open?" Dining room?"

"Haha, in fact, when many people come here for the first time, they feel the same as you. They think there is something wrong with this location, but this is where this restaurant is awesome. Think about it, even such a poor place can still attract customers. It's full of doors and people flock to it. Isn't it worth our visit? I believe that as long as you walk in and eat and then come out, you will never say 'no' again. How about we make a bet? "

"Ah? Really? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it. I won't bet, who knows what's wrong with you kid..."

"Hey, you have too much prejudice against me. Anyway, the truth can't be fake, and the fake one can't be true. Not to mention, it's more appropriate for us to come here for dinner later. Look, it's almost eight o'clock. It's almost staggered It’s peak time for dining. Otherwise, we’ll have to line up, at least from the stairs, or we’ll never be able to eat if we don’t wait for half an hour…”

"Still queuing up, you are getting better and better!"

Zou Guodong became more and more disbelieving.

But he didn't expect to find out that Ning Weimin had hit the mark again just as he went up the stairs.

Because even at this time, the upstairs restaurant with red and green decoration as the main image is still full.

There are even waiting guests, who have to wait for five or six tables to be arranged before their turn.

But the good thing is that our countrymen are the most experienced in queuing up and waiting for seats.

Even Zou Guodong and Ning Weimin have suffered, they have long been used to it.

So it didn't feel like a 10 minute wait.

What's more, no matter how simple the environment of Japanese restaurants is, they are much taller than the restaurants in our alleys.

Seeing that there are sofa seats and chandeliers inside, it doesn't seem so unbearable.

And it was a bit exotic, and it looked expensive per capita, so Zou Guodong didn't say anything more.

But when Ning Weimin kept raising his wrist to check the time, Zou Guodong was surprised to notice that his wristwatch had changed again.

It was actually replaced by a pure new Cartier from the original Omega.

So Zou Guodong found a new topic, pointing to his hand and jokingly said, "Okay, don't show off your poverty. You are so diligent in looking at your watch. You really have it. You bought the house, but the furniture So simple. It took me [-] yen to get a haircut, and I changed such an expensive watch quietly. However, I was brought to such a place for dinner. Look, look, this brings me Where did you come from? You haven’t eaten your meal yet, so you have to pass through mountains of vegetables and groceries. You’re playing a war game like a child. Besides, you don’t know what this red and green combination is called in China, do you? ..."

However, happiness knows itself, even in the face of Zou Guodong's run on, Ning Weimin, who has both career and emotion, is still happy.

"What? Mr. Zou, have you taken a fancy to my watch? It doesn't matter, I'll get you one tomorrow. Anyway, you can use it when you meet the Japanese later."

"No, no, I don't mean that. This watch is Cartier, so it costs millions of yen, right? Don't scare me, I dare not take it if you dare to give it to me. I don't have such a big money as you, Dai I'm sorry for this thing."

Zou Guodong was also frightened by his words and quickly turned his head.

"I, I just want to advise you, you are still young, don't worry too much about the flashy things on the outside, the inside is the most important thing. Look at you, just drive a big American jeep all day long in China, I also used the whole gold lighter to pretend to be a tycoon, so that our company executives all learned from you. One by one, they asked the company for a car to drive, and because they used gold lighters in a pile, they couldn’t tell whose things belonged to them, and there were several troubles .Almost recruited the police to our company to solve the case. When did you become so extravagant? You don’t know the truth that the rafters of the early rotten first, and the early birds are shot? The key is that your current identity is also It's very special. It's not an ordinary middle-level manager. It's a shareholder of Huaxia Company and Yilaide Company. If you start from the name, even I will work for you. The young people in the whole company regard you as a Idols come to worship. Do you understand what I mean? Follow the example. It’s okay to say abroad. When you return to China someday, you have to consider the impact of your actions..."

Faced with Zou Guodong's elders' earnest instruction, Ning Weimin didn't say a word, just smiled and ate wontons dumbly.

I said in my heart, Tsk, you Zou Principle, give me another political class.

If you are jealous, you are jealous. I want to tell you who gave me this watch. I think you will be even more shocked.

What's more, you won't get any credit for saying such a thing.

Still guts?If it wasn't for my inner flesh, I wouldn't bring you here.

Didn't you make a hasty judgment on this restaurant just based on its appearance?
Let's talk about it later when we go in. I want to see how you react when you get the menu.

Indeed, despite scoffing at Salia's not very decent place, after entering, Zou Guodong also complained about the poor service and no one served tea or water.

Even because the two of them were small, they were not allocated a comfortable seat with a sofa seat on the train, Zou Guodong was still a little embarrassed.

But after he got a seat and sat down, Zou Guodong, who got the menu in his hand, still did not escape Salia's "true fragrance" law!
You know, the "price killer" in the catering industry is by no means in vain!
Zou Guodong, who has no idea of ​​the restaurant's business style, will find an unbelievable fact once he opens Salia's menu.

How come the dishes are so rich!

It's so cheap again!

Indeed, Salia's menu has hundreds of dishes.

The dishes cover soup, cheese, salad, barbecue, pizza, pasta, rice, dessert, wine, most iconic dishes of Italian dishes.

And all come with beautifully enticing photos.

As for how cheap the price can be?

Among the 78 dishes, [-] dishes are under [-] yen.

If you want to have an appetizer, guests can choose a corn soup and mushroom soup for only 140 yen.

You can also eat six garlic snails for 390 nine yen.

Or order a calorie bomb—cheese and bacon baked potatoes, gratin hash browns, and more.

Or spend 290 nine yen and order a garden salad or spinach bacon.

For the choice of staple food, you can order a six-inch double cheese pizza for 490 [-] yen, or a small barbecue such as garlic chicken steak and sausage platter.

For 390 yen, you can eat a seafood garlic pasta and ink pasta.

If you want to be extravagant, you can order a sirloin steak for 99 yen, or a super satisfying barbecue platter for 890 nine yen.

If you get tired of eating, you can take a soft drink or oolong tea with unlimited refills for [-] yen.

You can also add dessert after the meal, and you can enjoy a waffle with chocolate sauce ice cream for 140 yen.

In Salia, the most expensive product is the dry red wine of Tiano from Tuscany.

A bottle of 750ml red wine only costs 590 yen.

Isn't that cheap enough?
What a bargain!
To put it bluntly, based on the appetite of an adult man, ordering three dishes is enough.

The maximum consumption is no more than [-] yen.

This is western food!

What's more, it's in Tokyo again!
A Japanese who earns at least 15 yen a month spends this amount on a meal, which is equivalent to a Beijinger who earns 100 yuan a month on a meal.

It can be said that the price of a dumpling set meal and a ramen set meal is comparable to that of the Japanese, which is equivalent to ordinary people in the capital buying potstickers and steamed buns from a restaurant, which is much more cost-effective than cooking at home.

Of course, a veteran in shopping malls like Zou Guodong can easily calculate the approximate operating costs in his mind.

Based on his understanding of Western food and his understanding of the operating conditions of the company's Maxim Restaurant and Menumus, this price is close to a myth, and it is impossible to achieve.

Because even if the yen is exchanged for RMB at the black market price, 40 yen is only more than [-] yuan.

Even if this level of consumption is compared with the consumption of western food in Beijing, it can only be regarded as an average level.

In the capital, 40 yuan is enough to eat Meinimus, Laomo and Xinqiao.

But eating decent French food at Maxim's and Jianguo Restaurant is even more interesting.

And this caused Zou Guodong to order food without any worries, as if he had found the feeling of eating in a domestic restaurant.

I ordered all kinds of salads, soups, pasta, pizza, teppanyaki, desserts, and even a bottle of the most expensive red wine.

To put it a bit embarrassingly speaking, even if he is a person from a third world country, even if he is on the menu right now, the cash in his wallet can afford it.

Looking at western restaurants all over the world, he is afraid that only here can he find such confidence.

He is so proud, Ning Weimin, as the host of the treat, has no reason to be stingy, and he is also unwilling to lag behind.

This kid not only ordered the three or four dishes he needed according to the prescription, but also picked a few special dishes unique to Salia and recommended them to Zou Guodong.

In this way, the dishes they ordered are really a bit "silty", there are always more than a dozen dishes.

So that when the order was placed, the clerk kept confirming with them and asked them repeatedly.

"Two gentlemen, do you really want to order so much?"

The most amazing thing is that the serving speed is super fast. Within 10 minutes, the entire table was filled with dishes.

But this is still not enough, and the clerk regrets not taking them to a bigger seat at the beginning.

In the end, I had to temporarily pull another table to make up the number, so that all the dishes requested by the two of them were placed.

So some Japanese people around stared at him with big eyes and small eyes, completely looking at it with fresh eyes.

Zou Guodong and Ning Weimin began to enjoy their dinner.

But to be honest, even if the price is so cheap, before the dishes are served, Zou Guodong still has some concerns and worries.

Because as the saying goes, cheap is not good.

Can such cheap western food be delicious?
But when the dishes were served, Zou Guodong picked up the knife, fork and spoon to eat, and from the moment he put the first bite of food on his tongue, he felt more and more that this restaurant was amazing.

In all fairness, in terms of taste, these dishes are naturally not as good as the most authentic Italian dishes.

For example, Salia's hottest single-origin grilled corn with cheese only has a layer of corn on the surface and the cheese is fully mixed.

For example, the pasta with black pine oil is so strange that people want to shout "God".

Especially the baked snail dish, which imitated French cuisine, made Zou Guodong, a diner who had already started with French cuisine, feel very ridiculous.

It feels like a pure Beijinger drinking soy milk-flavored soy milk, or eating fried liver with no garlic and soup.

But even so, he has to admit that the taste of these dishes must not be said to be unpalatable, at least it is much more delicious than the "Yili Fast Food" that Yili Food Factory in Beijing cooperated with Hong Kong people.

In addition, even if the materials are not enough, you can't blame the store for being unscrupulous, after all, the price is here.

And not all dishes are bad, just like the mushroom soup is full of rich milk flavor and mushroom flavor.

Tuna salad, the vegetables are not only very fresh, but also a lot of fish, the price is quite high.

Iron plate sausage with chicken chops, the chicken chops are very tender, and the grilled sausages are also special.

The taste is black pepper, which is quite satisfactory. Although it is not very good, it is worth [-] points.

Especially seafood pasta and seafood baked rice, just looking at the ingredients, they are very sufficient.

What squid, shrimp, yuan scallops, seafood sauce, cuttlefish balls...

I don't know if it's because of Japan's natural geographical advantages, or because the restaurant is located in the vegetable market, anyway, it allows customers to realize seafood freedom every minute.

All in all, Zou Guodong has to admit that most of the dishes taste pretty good.

Even if there are flaws, considering the price of a single product, the price is low enough to fully make up for the regret.

Compared with eating to your heart's content, belly up, let people experience the most primitive happiness that food brings to people.

No matter how dissatisfied he was at the beginning, it would disappear completely.

It even made him start a certain degree of self-reflection.

With such a price, is it really necessary to ask so much for it?
