Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 91 Business is booming
(Uh, chapter 88 should be the first chapter of the second volume, so be it)

Guangyang Street, Old Zhao’s Crayfish Restaurant.

As soon as they walked in, all the customers were dumbfounded for the first time.

What kind of place is this, it is simply a mythical world in legends, okay?
Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin were well-dressed and stood at the bar to welcome every guest who entered the venue. Many gay men even blushed and dared not look at them.

Modern bar counter, comfortable dining area, soft lighting, gurgling water, and shadows of trees make you feel like you are in a stream and mountain forest.

Eating crayfish in such an environment is really wild.

Regardless of adults or children, they couldn't move their eyes away for a while, and looked greedily at everything around them.

The child even huffed and surrounded the aquarium, pointing at the various creatures inside and screaming.

"Wow! Crab! Crab! Dad, look!"

"Large prawns!"

"Turtle! Turtle! Turtle!"

Zhao Xin worked hard to control his facial expressions.

The screams of the children were too harsh.

"What kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful!"

"This coral is colorful!"

It has to be said that the marine life aquarium has aroused everyone's interest, and even adults can't help but stop and watch.

They are careful to keep their children around so they don't run around.

One is that they are afraid of accidentally hurting them, and the other is that they are afraid that they will damage the aquarium.

This thing is very valuable at first glance, they must not be able to afford it.

For a long time to come, these two aquariums were even more famous than the crayfish hall itself.

Countless people come here with their children, just to see the living marine life.

It has become a paradise for children in Pingyang County!

How many people will still recall the aquarium of the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant with relish after they grow up, and this place has directly become the memory of a generation.

All employees in the store are all wearing uniforms.

It's not completely unified either.

Half of it is orange clothes, which says authentic crayfish from the old Zhao family.

Half of it is red clothes, with the words "Old Zhao's Authentic Spicy Crab".

No more than 7 people in each type of clothing.

In fact, counting the people in the back kitchen, there are nearly 20 people in the whole shop.

After all, it is the first day of opening, so we need more staff to avoid being overwhelmed.

After normal operation, about ten people will be enough.

The restaurant is open all day, and the traffic is actually more even than that of the crawfish stand.

A small pool was dug next to the restaurant, and fresh crabs and crayfish can be kept in it for a few days.

In this way, in case of heavy snow in winter, we cannot replenish the goods from the village in time, and we can cope with it for a day or two.

The restaurant's business hours are the same as the convenience market, and it closes at [-] pm.

In fact, no customers will be picked up at eight o'clock. Usually, it will be nearly nine o'clock after the last table of guests finishes eating.

It was around six o'clock, and the entire store was full upstairs and downstairs.

In such a good environment, people unconsciously ordered more food.

Those who originally planned to buy only two catties may have bought three or even four catties.

Many people were reluctant to leave after eating, so they had to order some more and eat slowly.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Wenmu was a little dissatisfied with the turnover rate on the first day.

But this is not the case, after all, the restaurant is too fresh, and everyone unconsciously prolongs the meal time.

I believe it will gradually get better in the future.

This also led to a lot of people queuing outside, and even the queuing time was relatively long.

But there was almost no one in the open space.

"Comrades! There are a lot of people dining in the restaurant now, and the waiting time is relatively long! If you are willing to dine outside, each table will be given a plate of edamame and a plate of peanuts!"

In order to appease those who waited too long, and to divert people, Zhao Wenmu had no choice but to do so.

However, very few people pay the bill.

Everyone still wants to eat in restaurants.

Some people even want to reserve a spot for the next day in advance.

Don't talk about how advanced the various systems of later generations are, in fact, these things have already appeared in the daily life practice of the people.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the last table of customers left, and everyone gathered together and sat slumped in a random place in the store.

"Little brother, the business is really good too. If this happens every day in the future, I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion!"

Liu Xiumei sat down with difficulty while supporting her waist.

Even the most hard-working sister-in-law said so, and the others didn't even have the energy to speak.

As the boss, Zhao Wenmu has been shaking for a whole night, and now he just wants to lie still.

Zhao Jing, Zhao Xin and Zhang Xiaotong, who were standing all the time, were also rubbing their legs.

They not only entertain customers, but also help serve dishes and clear tables.

Everyone is like a top, busy all night with high intensity.

Half of the crabs and crayfish that were prepared for tomorrow in the pool were gone.

Everyone cheered up and cleaned up the store before going back to rest.

There are guards from the convenience market patrolling here at night, so there is no need to keep guards in the store at night.

Zhao Wenmu's inner thoughts are that this era is not peaceful after all, and there is no need to take risks for some property.

In case someone really enters the store to steal something at night, it doesn't matter if you lose something, as long as it hurts someone.

He rented a small house nearby, and some men went there at night.

Lesbians go to his house, there are enough bedrooms, and Zhang Xiaotong is the only girl who will often be here in the future.

Back home, Zhao Jingqiang settled the bill.

"Little brother, 797 catties of crayfish and 688 catties of spicy crab were sold today!"

Gathering almost the entire city's consumption power, this figure is not too surprising.

It is impossible to sell so high every day.

However, with the liberalization of commercial policies, a large number of wealthy people will soon emerge, and the business of restaurants will only get better and better.

Crayfish worth 1 yuan per catty was a luxury in 1980, but it may have been considered a light luxury in 1982, and many people may be able to afford it in 1983.

In any case, this price will not change in the short term.

"Today's turnover is 1448 yuan!"

"However, after deducting all costs, the profit is only about 570 yuan."

Today, after a [-]% discount on the dishes, edamame, drinks, etc. are not profitable, and the profit of crayfish has dropped a lot. Electricity bills are also very expensive in this era, and the cost has increased a lot after opening the store.

In the end, the profit was only 570, which seemed to be not much more than the profit they made at the stall.

Zhao Wenmu reached out and pinched her face.

A small face wrinkled even tighter.

"Sister, 570 yuan is too little, you make me very embarrassed, my brother has only so little ability."

Zhao Wenmu teased her with a smile.

Zhao Jing tilted her head to the side.

"That's right, 570 yuan. We couldn't earn that much for several years before."

"Oh, little brother, you are really amazing!"

She opened her arms and gave Zhao Wenmu a big hug.

Zhao Wenmu returned a kiss, which lightly landed on her smooth forehead.

In the next few days, the business of the lobster restaurant continued to be booming, and it was not until people's novelty passed that they finally returned to normal.

Even so, the total daily sales volume is about 900 catties.

Because it includes side dishes, the actual consumption of crayfish and crabs is about 700 catties.

After deducting all costs, the net profit is about 500 yuan.

Some agencies and enterprises have also begun to entertain guests and hold banquets in crayfish restaurants, which has indeed squeezed the market share of state-owned restaurants.

This can't be helped, after all, the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant is well-known in Pingyang County, and the entertainment activities held here are high-end and high-end, and the effect is more prominent.

"Daughter-in-law, what's going on with those houses now?"

Zhao Wenmu completely entrusted Zhao Jing to operate the shops he hoarded, except for occasional inquires to satisfy Zhao Jing's small thoughts of showing off and showing off, and never inquired at other times.

Zhao Jing, who was reading a book, immediately put down the book when she heard this question, and sat on the sofa.

This is something fresh that Zhao Wenmu bought at the Friendship Mall, a spring sofa, on which Zhao Jing likes to read books most now.

"The price of those houses has increased by about 1.07 times, and the rent has increased by about 1.17 times."

Both of them came out after the decimal point, which shows how much Zhao Jing cares about this matter.

Speaking of these houses, they are like a treasure.

I can't wait to tell Zhao Wenmu one thing after another.

Zhao Wenmu listened patiently.

This is the first transaction made by his girl. If there is no accident, the profit of this transaction is more than 10!
The more Zhao Jing talked, the more excited she became. Talking about these houses was like counting money.

Happy, happy, satisfied!
"Then when are you going to make a move?"

Zhao Wenmu held her hand in the palm of his hand, gently rubbing and playing with it.

"Well, I decided to rent out the rented ones starting tomorrow. Now the price has basically stabilized, so it's not worthwhile to keep them vacant."

Zhao Jing was so focused on the house that she didn't care about Zhao Wenmu's petty actions at all.

"The prices of the ones we bought are still rising slowly. If we are not in a hurry to spend money, I think we can wait!"

The trend of house prices continuing to rise slowly will continue for many years.

But until the 90s, except for some special points, the increase will not be very large.

"You have the final say, my little rich woman."

Zhao Wenmu made a gesture and rushed forward, and the two laughed and laughed.

"By the way, the eldest sister you mentioned before, what's the situation now?"

Zhao Wenmu hoped that the elder sister was not greedy enough to hurt Zhao Jing's kind heart.

"The elder sister's man has already had an operation and is recovering well. They came to me and said they wanted to open the wall facing the street and open a small shop there."

Now the house belongs to Zhao Jing, so it is reasonable to get her permission first to do the decoration, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"Don't worry, they didn't want to break the contract, and they didn't say anything harsh. Not only that, but they are also very grateful to me!"

Zhao Jing raised her head, as if begging for praise.

Zhao Wenmu touched her little head.

He has been very restrained recently, mainly because he is too tired during the day and a little powerless at night.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing still looked up.

Seeing the red lips so close, Zhao Wenmu couldn't help kissing them.

Not a cigarette afterwards.

Zhao Wenmu collapsed on the bed, staring blankly at the roof.

Zhao Jing was lying on her side, actually secretly laughing.

"Ma Dan, what kind of Heart K, Yilishen, and Chinese Turtle Essence, I will steal your business in this life!"
