Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 264 Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf

Beiguan Village. Grassland Beef and Sheep Grilled Shabu Shop!

Jiang Longyin and others had just been settled. Before Li Yi returned to the front desk, he saw Lin Jianguo walking in with a few middle-aged people. The two people walking in front were holding a plaque in their hands.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jianguo said with a smile: "Brother Li Yi, your business is booming!"

"Thank you, Director Lin, please come in quickly!"

“I didn’t know what to give, so I asked someone to make a plaque, hahaha!”

Li Yi saw the four gilt characters "Business is Prosperous" engraved on the side, and immediately said with a smile: "It cost Director Lin a lot of money. I accepted the gift. Today I will invite you to try the grilled hotpot in our store." Meat!"

"No need to invite us. We are here to support your business today. How can we ask you to invite us?" Lin Jianguo said with a smile.

"Haha, if Director Lin wants to spend money, there will be many opportunities in the future. This meal must be mine!"

Li Yi looked up and saw another acquaintance coming outside. He immediately shouted inside: "Dongzi, greet Director Lin and the others!"

"okay!"

Just as they led Lin Jianguo and others into the box, they saw Ye Jianhua pushing the door open and walking in with a few young people.

After entering the door, Ye Jianhua placed a wooden sculpture in his hand on the table at Li Yi's front desk and said with a smile: "Happy opening!"

"Thank you, why did you come here at noon?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Didn't I come here specifically to support you? Knowing that Lao Jiang wouldn't be able to come over at noon, I came over first!" Ye Jianhua said.

"Hahaha, welcome, but we have agreed that I will treat you to this meal!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"That's okay, then wouldn't we just be here to make a living?"

“Wouldn’t it be great if you support me more in the future!”

"Okay, okay, you are the boss and you have the final say, hahaha!"

Later, Li Yi took Ye Jianhua and others into the private room again!

Just like Jiang Longyin and others before him, the charcoal basin and copper pot are put on, the seasonings and ingredients are added, and the meat is grilled and rinsed.

In an instant, the fragrance spread throughout the entire elegant room!

After some operations, both Lin Jianguo who entered in front and Ye Jianhua and others who came in behind were all conquered by this special delicacy.

In the next hour, although no new customers came, the little brothers were very busy.

From time to time, there were voices in the three private rooms asking for meat and vegetables, or people asking for water or wine. It was very lively!

After one o'clock, Jiang Longyin and others finished eating first, and then walked out of the private room with glowing faces.

Li Yi immediately asked with a smile: "Eat!"

"Well, this is a nice shop, boy. Let's check out!" Jiang Longyin said with a smile.

"Forget it about paying the bill. As the first customer in our restaurant, the bill is free!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, is there such a good thing?"

Jiang Longyin did not insist on paying the bill, but said to Li Yi: "The dishes in your restaurant look simple, but they taste really good. For now, they are the only ones in the capital!"

"Keep running the business well. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the district government to see me!"

"Okay!" Li Yi said with a smile.

A middle-aged man next to Jiang Longyin also said with a smile: "My little brother is brave, yes, we will come here often in the future!"

"welcome!"

After sending Jiang Longyin and others away, Lin Jianguo, Ye Jianhua and others also finished eating soon after!
Although both groups of people wanted to settle the bill, they were both rejected by Li Yi.

When people come to celebrate your opening, how can you be so stingy that you can’t even part with a meal? What’s going on!
Although the bill was not settled, Li Yi still asked them if they could get used to eating such barbecued meat.

The answer is of course yes. Except for very large restaurants, it is rare to have barbecue these days.

What's more, Li Yi not only has grassland beef and mutton, but also chopped pork belly and chicken, plus special sauce, the taste is simply amazing.

The mutton-shabu-shabu in their store is also different from other places, especially the wide variety of toppings, which is much better than the simple chive flowers in the old capital, and can satisfy the tastes of almost different people.

Therefore, almost all the guests praised the meal!
After sending away these three tables of guests, Li Yi did a simple calculation while a few brothers were cleaning.There were 17 guests in these three tables just now. They ate a total of 16 kilograms of beef, 12 kilograms of mutton, 11 kilograms of pork and 4 kilograms of chicken, for a total of 43 kilograms of meat.

I have to say, these people have really good appetites.

Especially the consumption of meat is simply jaw-dropping, but I don’t eat much vegetables and the like!
By the way, these people also drank 5 bottles of liquor and more than 40 liters of beer.

If calculated according to normal prices, they would need to pay 172 yuan for meals and 17 kilograms of food stamps, and also need to pay 87 yuan for drinks.

The total is 259 yuan, which is 15 yuan per person!
In other words, the per capita consumption in his store is about 15 yuan.

Then Li Yi calculated the costs and profits. The cost of all the ingredients was almost 80 yuan, while the purchase price of drinks was 58 yuan and the cost was 138 yuan!

Without counting the cost of rent, labor, water and electricity, the investment is 138 and the income is 259, which is almost 100% profit.

Is it expensive?
The answer is yes, it’s expensive!

After all, the income of ordinary people has not been raised yet. Compared with ordinary people who earn 36 yuan a month, such consumption is definitely not cheap.

No, it should be said that it is extremely expensive, even luxurious.

But Li Yi is not worried about running out of business. After all, this is the capital. It has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. The most indispensable thing is the rich.

In addition, these people just do not represent per capita consumption.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for per capita consumption to reach such a high level.

After all, these people came here to support him today, so they didn't even consider how much money they spent when eating. They were just eating and drinking freely.

After one meal, each person ate on average two and a half kilograms of meat, and basically didn't eat much vegetables.

The most important thing is that all the people here today are men.

If half were women, consumption would drop by at least one-third.

According to Li Yi's estimation, without considering drinks, the average per capita consumption of grassland cattle and sheep is 8 yuan per meal, which is considered reasonable.

But in any case, judging from the current consumption, it basically meets the requirements of the high-end hotel built by Li Yi.

It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to open small shops that ordinary people can afford, but it's not necessary.

After all, not only are supplies scarce these days, there are also extremely strict requirements for employment. If there are more than 8 people, they will be treated as capitalists.

When it comes to opening a small store, it’s boring if it’s small, but if it’s a little bigger, you have to hire people.

8 people may not be enough for chefs, helpers, waiters, etc., aren’t they just waiting to be hammered?
It’s better to have a shabu-shabu restaurant like this, with fewer people, higher prices, and profit!
More importantly, if you establish your brand in advance, you can set up a chain store when the time is right.

In short, Li Yi is very satisfied with the current situation.

And just when Li Yi was settling the accounts, Dongzi and others also finished their work, and then several people gathered around!
"Brother Yi, how much did we sell for just now?" Qiangzi asked curiously.

"I didn't sell it for a penny!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Ah, how is this possible? They didn't pay!"

"It's not that I didn't give it, it's that I didn't ask for it!"

"Why not? Isn't it just to make money when we open the door for business?" Qiangzi frowned.

"Haha, it's our first day of business today, and everyone who comes to eat is a friend. People give us face, and we also want to give others face, so I gave all three tables at noon free of charge!"

Then Li Yi continued: "On the surface, I lost money, but I won their hearts. In addition, our dishes passed the test and won their stomachs. Do you think they will come to take care of us often in the future?" Business?"

Dongzi said thoughtfully: "Is this because you can't bear to let the child trap the wolf?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Although it's not quite appropriate, it's almost the same meaning."

Seeing what the little brothers wanted to ask, Li Yi immediately stopped their curiosity and said at the same time: "Okay, you will know tonight if what I said makes sense."

"What you have to do now is to hurry up and replenish the dishes. Dongzi, hurry up and get two more sheep. I'm afraid there won't be enough left in the refrigerator!"

"Shitou, go to the vegetable market and bring back another 20 pounds of pork belly and two chickens!"

"okay!"
