Chapter 216 No need to explain clearly

Before Liu Rongju could get closer, Cen Peipei had already seen him. She quickly stood up to greet him, "Liu Sheng, which gust of wind brought you here?"

"Sister-in-law, your business here is really good." Liu Rongju walked to the table and said.

"It's all up to the neighbors to take care of you." Cen Peipei smiled and motioned for a seat, "Sit down first and I'll make a pot of tea."

In a flash, Cen Peipei went to the kitchen and came out again, holding a pot of tea and a plate in her hands. She placed the tea in the middle of the table and placed the plate close to Liu Rongju.

"Liu Sheng, what a coincidence that you came here. The egg tarts have just been baked. Try the taste and give me some suggestions."

Liu Rongju took one look at the egg tarts on the plate and said, "Sister-in-law, the egg tarts here are so small."

Cen Peipei smiled and said: "The egg tarts on the market are too big. One egg tart can be used as an afternoon tea meal. I have reduced the egg tarts to a quarter and the price has also been reduced. Guests can order two more snacks."

"Sister-in-law is so thoughtful." Liu Rongju picked up an egg tart from the plate, put it into his mouth, took a bite, and then praised: "It's delicious, the skin is crispy and crispy, the filling is sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance of honey... The taste of honey is different from what I’ve had before.”

"Liu Sheng is a good eater. My master sent back several barrels of Malaysian wild honey from Singapore. I added this honey to the egg liquid." Cen Peipei said, picking up the teapot and pouring two cups of tea.

Shan Jinlou is a teahouse, but Cen Peipei avoids the edge of other teahouses and squeezes into competition in the tea restaurant industry. Generally speaking, tea restaurants are mostly mom-and-pop shops. The boss is a chef and the proprietress is a waiter and cashier. The turnover is not high. The foundation is not strong, and even if they have a long-term vision, they do not have the strength to make long-term plans. If they do not make money in a day, they will be in a hurry. It is unimaginable for them to lose money for a year and a half to squeeze out their opponents.

What attracts people to tea restaurants is their emotional value, which is usually reflected in the beautiful scenery and delicious food. That is, there is a beautiful and maybe a bit coquettish proprietress in the restaurant. You can have a meal for a few cents and watch football and chat. Probably all men like to go there. .

Cen Peipei received the concept of systematic "drainage products" from Xian Yaowen. Egg tarts are her practical attempt. The pricing has been actuarially calculated and is stuck at the profit and loss threshold. If competitors sell cheaper than Shan Jinlou, they can only lose money. people, but the possibility is slim.

2000 egg tarts may not seem like a lot, but it is not something that a chef can make with a little more hard work, nor is it something that an apprentice can make. If one can make egg tarts that are comparable to Shanjinlou, no one will be stupid except his own son. The land also received apprentice wages.

To make egg tarts for Shanjinlou, we have to hire another chef. This is a big test for this couple shop, not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of trust.

"There is still some benefit." Cen Peipei said vaguely.

There are many wealthy people in Hong Kong who are involved in the catering industry. They open restaurants and Western restaurants and can generate hundreds of dollars of revenue per table. The meager revenue of tea restaurants is not in their eyes at all.

Liu Rongju took another bite of the egg tart and said, "Sister-in-law is really willing to put in the ingredients. Can I make money this way?"

A tea restaurant that wants to compete with Shan Jin Lou must have at least one or two specialties. At least 20 to 30% of the customers in the restaurant did not come into the restaurant because they were recent. The most attractive thing about a tea restaurant is naturally the taste, that is, The apprentices couldn't understand the chef's unique skills, but other chefs could almost learn it after seeing it once or twice, so he asked the boss if he was afraid that his unique skills would be easily learned by others, and then he would open a shop opposite his house.

Shan Jinlou's egg tarts have almost negligible profit, so they are limited in supply every day, one at two o'clock and one at four o'clock, 1500 and 500 respectively, while supplies last.

If this is the case, it depends on whether the boss is surprised that his wife and the new chef have been in love for a long time, and after wearing a cuckold, there is still an extra store opposite his house.

In fact, there is no need to analyze it in depth. The cost issue alone is a gap that most tea restaurants cannot cross. The narrow-mindedness of the small-scale peasant economy has led to individual cost accounting being very shrewd. Adding a new chef only makes unprofitable egg tarts. This is unacceptable to the boss. It takes two yuan of oil to wash the pot. How can a big living person not contribute at all? I didn’t say anything, but I tried my best to increase the flow rate by increasing the labor intensity.

This awkward operating method makes it impossible to make a tea restaurant bigger. Therefore, Shan Jin Lou is an invincible presence in the tea restaurant industry and can catch up with any means of competition. Even if other tea houses also choose to reduce the dimension, Cen Peipei can handle it calmly. She has Cen Kee Trading Company and someone to support her. She will not be there for three to five years. You can afford it even if you make money, so just ask your opponent if he can withstand it.

Liu Rongju finished one egg tart, wiped off the crumbs on his hands, and said meaningfully: "Dongfuhe opened two new stalls on Bolan Street, not far from Shan Jinlou. The person in charge of the stalls is called Fei Peng, if Shan Jinlou needs help in the future, I can ask Fei Peng to do it.”

"Liu Sheng, I'm interested." Cen Peipei picked up the teacup and said, "Please give me tea."

Sometimes, there is no need to speak too clearly at all, as long as both parties in the conversation can understand.

Liu Rongju did not sit for a long time, and waited until he was no longer in such a hurry before saying goodbye and leaving.

When dinner arrived, Cen Peipei left Shanjin Building and went to the grocery store across the street to kill time.

When it comes to catering, you need to have a degree of enthusiasm. After all, no matter how delicious the food is, you can't stand it every time. You always have to change the taste. If you are too close to the diners, the diners will be embarrassed if they pass by but don't come to patronize, which will lead to permanent avoidance of this place. Sorry, a regular customer has been lost.

Enthusiasm should be present, but it should be general, and should not be extended in the direction of friendship. The lobby of Shanjin Building has a clear view, and it is inappropriate not to say hello to regular customers. Therefore, Cen Peipei will disappear intermittently during meal times, diluting the concentration of enthusiasm. , not putting too much psychological burden on diners.

Cen Peipei sat at the door of the grocery store with a bottle of Dutch water, a copy of Carnegie's "Breakthrough in Language", and an English-Chinese dictionary. The study of English and eloquence were promoted together.

Xian Yaowen told her that as big as her heart and abilities were, her heaven could be as big as hers. Marriage would not tie her hands and feet, but would only provide her with support.

At this time, Cen Peipei’s strongest supporter was sitting in the car eating ashes.

As soon as the taxi left the city of Accra, Shi Yiguang stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The dust on the yellow mud road was blown up by lightning, and the small particles of dirt in it were slapped on his cheeks. No wonder Shi Yiguang not only wore sunglasses, but also imitated the heroine. Cover your face with a gauze scarf.

Xian Yaowen only wore sunglasses at first. After eating a few mouthfuls of dirt, he took out his denim scarf and covered his face. He couldn't afford to offend a woman who likes to drive fast.

The road from Accra to Kumasi is the busiest north-south traffic artery in Ghana. There are still a lot of vehicles, not only fuel vehicles, but also animal-drawn vehicles and rickshaws. The road is not all smooth. Not only must you be careful of potholes on the ground, but you must also avoid them. As for the vehicle, Shi Yiguang was simply racing a go-kart.

Look at her, laughing happily all the way, which made Xian Yaowen worried about his own safety but also a little irritated, and he wanted to kick her out of the car.

Fortunately, Ghana's rainy season climate helped. After driving for dozens of kilometers, the weather turned against us and heavy raindrops fell from the sky. While we were trying to find a place to take shelter, the whole group was drowned.

Under an elm-green tree, several people huddled together, looking conspicuously at the road hit by the heavy rain, their eyebrows widened, and they said depressingly: "The car can't be driven."

Xian Yaowen beside him was secretly happy, "It's not that I can't drive, it's that I can't drive fast."

The yellow mud road was washed away by the rain, and no one could drive the car faster.
