Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 751 There Are Always Unscrupulous Fishing Boys
The old people seem to have developed a certain habit in their current life. If they went to bed late the day before, they have to sleep on the table for a while the next morning to make up for the sleep.

"Are you getting old after all? Back when I stayed up all night reading, I wasn't so tired the next day."

The next day, after finishing his breakfast, Chen Nian lay down on the table and slept for more than an hour, and when he got up, he felt emotional.

But since Xiaohua came to the store, the business in the store has obviously improved a lot.

And after I launched the lo mei, many people came to buy it every day.

Among them, 1/3 of the sales are provided by customers who dine in the store, and the remaining 2/3 are customers who only buy lo-mei. Some of them are office workers, and some are residents living nearby.

After getting up, Chen Nian did not immediately go to work in the kitchen, but looked at the ledger outside.

"Sure enough, most people still choose to eat at home."

Chen Nian came to this conclusion.

In order to be more standardized, Chen Nian will record every order on the computer whether it is the normal business in Honghong Restaurant or selling lo-mei outside.

This also facilitates replaying.

And it will be more convenient to issue receipts to customers.

After all, after the guests here have finished eating, the receipts can be printed out and handed over to the guests.

Even if customers want to invoice, there is a QR code that can be scanned directly for invoicing.

Of course, this kind of ticket is issued as an electronic invoice, and if you want to use it, you need to print it yourself.

After a general look, Chen Nian knows it well.

Afterwards, Chen Nian went back to his computer and printed out a notice, stating that he could make lo-mei New Year's goods here, and then posted it.

Sure enough, before it was time for lunch, an old man who lived nearby came over to ask the specific price.

"If you buy it normally, the price is the price written on the wall, but if you order more than five catties at a time, you can get a [-]% discount, but basically you need to order three days in advance, and if you want to order, you have to pay a part of the deposit , of course we will issue you a receipt, and you can use this receipt to pick it up."

Chen Nian explained.

"Then your price is quite expensive. Can I buy something myself and let you make it here, and then you will charge some processing fees?"

Chen Nian shook his head when he heard this: "I'm sorry, this is not acceptable. It's not that we have to earn money for this raw material. The main reason is that we have opened this hole. If everyone comes to make it, if someone asks for trouble, tell us Our trotters are big, but the ones we give him are small, which is hard to explain.

After all, we are all neighbors, so we don't want to make it like this, what do you think?"

"I definitely believe you, but I can buy a catty of pig's trotters for more than ten or 20 yuan, even if I add a little processing fee, it's not much, but your pig's trotters cost more than 40 per catty here..."

Chen Nian smiled: "Grandpa, I actually know what you said, but think about it, unless you bring twenty or thirty catties for us to make at one time, otherwise it is impossible for you to be the only one in this pot." , when everything is put in there, I will definitely not be able to pick out which ones belong to you and which ones belong to others...

If you go to the vegetable market or the meat joint factory to buy it yourself, you must have carefully selected the ones that you think are good in size. If you don’t know the difference and you get the wrong one, it’s not fair to you. no?

The price of our pig’s trotters here is more than 40 per catty, which may be more expensive than that of our own home, but compared with the outside, it is actually the normal price. I can’t guarantee you what others are doing, but I can tell you What I said is that the spices used to marinate the pig's trotters here cost hundreds of dollars. "

"It's so expensive?" The uncle obviously felt a little disbelieving.

Hearing the uncle's slightly suspicious tone, Chen Nian nodded solemnly.

Because this is the first customer to inquire about the lo-mei reservation, Chen Nian is also willing to spend more time chatting with the other party.

So he went to the back and took out an account book: "Master, look, this is the money we spent on buying spices in the past three days. It adds up to more than 2000 yuan and nearly [-] yuan, except for a small part. Apart from stir-frying, most of them are used to make lo-mei, so there are many things used, and the cost is naturally slightly higher.

If you look at the dishes in our store, you will know that the price of the food we sell is not too high, and the meat itself will generally shrink when it is normally marinated. You can only get six taels per catty. "

"Okay, then I'll buy some. Eight pig's trotters, ten duck wings, ten chicken legs, twenty chicken feet, and three catties of pig's head meat." The uncle said.

"Okay." Chen Nian raised his head and said after writing down these things, "Then you give a deposit of 100 yuan first, and I will tell you the specific weight of these things when the time comes. This [-] yuan is definitely not too much. When the time comes, how much money is weighed out, and you can make up the rest."

"Row."

After Chen Nian opened the receipt for the uncle, he received a deposit of [-], and the uncle left.

In fact, in such a community, there will inevitably be a problem, that is, there will definitely be guests coming to leave.

Although it is reasonable to say that after paying the deposit, it is non-refundable, but we are all neighbors, and it is not appropriate not to refund.

But Chen Nian is not worried about this, even if he has to be a guest and wants to return it, then he has to return it to others.

As for those customers who ordered but didn't buy, it's good to put them in the store and sell them to others when they are old.

In such a day, Chen Nian ordered several orders.

But just at night when Chen Nian got off work and was about to go back, the phone in the store suddenly rang.

"Hey?"

"Hello, is this the Honghong Hotel?"

"Yes."

"It's like this. I saw someone posted on the Internet that you sell lo mei here, so I want to buy some, but I have a situation here. I'm not in Chengdu, so can you pack some for me and make it ordinary. Vacuum packaging is fine, and I will pay for the packaging fee and express delivery fee, what do you think?"

"Sorry, I don't have this kind of business here. You can only ask friends or relatives here to help you buy some."

"I really want to try the lo mei in your store. I have always found it online before, but I have never been able to eat it. If you can pack it here, I can pay more for labor costs, and I can Buy more and share them with relatives and friends around you."

But when Chen Nian heard such words, he didn't have to think about it, it was impossible for him to agree.

Because he has no qualifications to sell pre-packaged products at all.

If Chen Nian sells ready-made ones to customers in his own store, then there is no problem at all. As for whether the customers want to take them back into vacuum packaging or freeze them for friends, that is the business of the customers, and Age doesn't matter either.

But if the vintage is now packaged and sold by itself, more procedures are required, and everything that needs to be marked on the package must also be marked.

All kinds of information including the product's ingredient list, weight, production date, shelf life, etc. need to be available.

Chen Nian obviously has no conditions to do so now.

So once he packs it for the customer according to the current conditions and sells it, the other party has the right to complain.

This kind of thing is a one-time report.

And those who usually do this are the kind of professional counterfeiters.

After they successfully receive the goods, they will contact the merchant to ask for money as soon as possible, otherwise they will complain to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Although not all of them are professional counterfeiters, Chen Nian must avoid such risks so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to himself.

And Chen Nian actually does not exclude those professional counterfeiters, because he must have a problem before others can seize the opportunity.

Chen Nian actually rejects another wave of counterfeiters who intentionally induce or use other people's ignorant knowledge to deliberately entrap others.

It’s like seeing a news on the Internet before Chen Nian. A man bought thousands of dollars of chili sauce from an old man in the countryside. At first, others were reluctant to sell it. After all, he did not sell it on the Internet. However, I usually just make it in my own workshop and sell it to the county or to people around me.

But in the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore. The person kept saying that he wanted to buy it, and he also said that he wanted to buy it in large quantities, so the old man agreed. After receiving the goods, he called back and asked for 3000 yuan, and refunded the previous amount. Otherwise, he complained to 12315. , Said that he sells Sanwu products.

How did the old man know the joints in this, and finally after asking someone, he was sure that what the other party said was true, so he had to transfer 3000 yuan to the other party to calm the matter.

And according to the request of the other party, it was stated that the quality of their own products was faulty, so they refunded and compensated.

But even so, the man finally complained to the old man.

As a result, the old man was fined and closed for rectification.

In the end, the old man was so angry that he called and asked the other party why he did this, but the man just left a sentence.

"It's just to keep you in the loop."

The old man was so angry that he immediately closed the workshop and never made chili sauce again.

So Chen Nian is disgusted with this kind of person.

He doesn't think there is any problem with professional anti-counterfeiting people who buy unqualified products, then go to a third party to do a serious test, and finally publish it realistically or report it to the relevant department to get rewards.

But if you use these things to blackmail merchants or use information asymmetry to harm others like the above, there will be big problems.

"Sorry, we can't do this. If you really want to try it, you can follow the method I said before."

So Chen Nian continued to reject the other party.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Nian finished rejecting the other party, he immediately started yelling on the phone, and Chen Nian didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, because the other party's attitude just showed his own guess, so he hung up the phone directly.

There is no special way to deal with this kind of thing itself.

Fortunately, the other party did not continue to call to harass, otherwise, if the other party kept calling and harassing, then Chen Nian would have to call the police.

You can make more lo mei every day. At worst, Xiaohua will be a little bit busier and I will be a little bit busier.

But after hanging up the phone, my mother also came over to ask what happened. Chen Nian told his mother the whole story again, and told her that the restaurant can only serve dine-in, or let customers We pack it and take it home, and we cannot make pre-packaged food.

And Feng Honghong doesn't have any other ideas, anyway, the business in the store is enough for them to be busy now.

But after talking about it, Feng Honghong looked at her son again and asked, "Son, did Hongdou's family say when we will get together and talk about the two of you?"

"Mom, Hongdou hasn't said the exact time yet, why don't I call and ask?"

"Okay, then you can ask, but is it too late to ask now, or tomorrow?" Feng Honghong said again.

"It's okay, Mom. Let me ask Hongdou first. Hongdou should not be asleep yet. If her parents are asleep, then we will talk about it tomorrow."

In the end, Chen Nian called An Hongdou again to ask An's father and An's mother's opinion.

An Hongdou soon arrived at the door of her parents' bedroom.

"Mom and Dad, are you asleep?"

"No, what's the matter, daughter?"

After An Hongdou entered the room, he explained the matter.

An Pingyao said with a smile: "Your mother and I were still talking about this just now, or if you let Chen Nian's mother answer the phone, let's talk about it?"

"also."

Chen Nian also gave the phone to his mother.

After answering the phone, Feng Honghong smiled and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you at such a late hour."

"It's okay, we didn't sleep, my wife and I were still discussing about the children just now, in-laws, what are your plans over there? We will go back next week, if we meet, this week can be fine, see you How's the time over there?"

Feng Honghong couldn't help being even happier when she heard the other party directly addressing her in-laws: "We don't have a problem with our time here, it's the same every day anyway, this time I mainly want to see when your in-laws have time here, let's go over and have a chat. "

"Well, what about the day after tomorrow? Let's have a chat at home then go out for dinner."

"Yes, but in-laws, let us treat you when the time comes. After all, you have all arrived in Chengdu."

"It's okay, we should invite this meal, don't say where it is, we will live here for a long time if we don't come, we will be a family by then, Chengdu is also our place, and Suzhou is also your place , let's not talk about the two families."

"Okay, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future, so let's see each other the day after tomorrow."

"Goodbye then, rest early."

"Okay, bye."

In this way, the parents of both parties set a meeting time on the phone.

"You see, it's settled. Go out and buy something tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll buy some fruit and go see them." Feng Honghong urged.
