Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 298
A few days later, while Mo Qianrui had to take care of Tang Yanxiu's diet and daily life, he also had to find time to take care of Xiao Fangtian's affairs.

Aside from that, the Chinese herbal medicines originally planted in the small square field in this space have already matured, and a few ginseng plants were left to let them grow slowly, and Mo Qianrui planted flowers on the other ones.The harvest time of partial flowers is very short, and most of the ornamental flowers mature in one day and night.Like some mutated flowers with special functions, it only takes a few days and nights, so Mo Qianrui is very busy.

Fortunately, perhaps because the Chinese herbal medicines in the space are extremely effective, Tang Yanxiu's wound recovered very well.

A few days later, the wound scabs over. Although I still can't do strenuous exercise, my daily life is no longer affected.At that moment, the two made an appointment to go to the outer city together to see the situation of the shop.

A few more people were added to the shop, including the shopkeeper introduced by shopkeeper Li Da.

Mo Qianrui promoted all the former old people, and also spread the simplest western pastry styles.

Before the May Flower Show, the shop's business was pretty good, mainly because the people in Wanhua County generally had some money in their pockets.However, after the start of the Mayflower Show, the real popularity has just arrived.

I still remember the night when I just came back from Yu County, because it was too late, the gate of the inner city had already been closed, so Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu rested in the backyard of the shop for the night.

At that time, the shopkeeper told Mo Qianrui that since the flower show approached, the shop's business has suddenly boomed.

However, it was only after Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu arrived at the shop on this day that he really felt what the shopkeeper meant by "prosperity".

The shop, which was already considered extremely spacious, was crowded with people waiting in line.

Although there are tables and chairs in the lobby of the shop, those people bought something but did not sit down to eat it, but all chose to take it away.

Mo Qianrui looked at it strangely. Before, although some would buy and take away, it never happened that they all chose to take away.

Looking carefully, I found that these people were full of various boxes, which seemed to be brought by others, not provided by the store.

"Xiaorui, that's not acceptable. There's no packing box of our own here. Do you think it's too late to ask someone to order it now?" Although Tang Yanxiu didn't know much about the food business, he still had memories from his previous life.Aside from that, when I was busy at work, ordering takeaway was very common.

"What's too late? It's always too late to improve."

Pulling Tang Yanxiu to the backyard, Mo Qianrui found a servant who was familiar and smart, and after a few orders, he let him go.

What Mo Qianrui ordered was for people to order some bamboo food boxes first.

At the beginning, when they were still in Mingyue Town, Mo's fast food shop used this kind of food box.

Since the craftsmen in Mingyue Town can easily make it, it makes no sense that Wanhua County has no talents.Of course, because it was intended to contain pastries like biscuits and cakes, the original food box was definitely not suitable.However, there should be no technical difficulty in simply making it bigger.

It's a pity that the time is a bit too tight, otherwise it can be improved.

"Yan Xiu, tell me, can paper boxes be promoted here?"

"It should be fine. It's not a big deal to paste a few more layers. If it's inside, you can put oiled paper on it. But, Xiaorui, have you ever thought that paper packaging is too fragile, even though the roads in Wanhua County are paved with bluestone slabs Yes, but this is also..."

These days, roads paved with bluestone slabs are already the best, even in the inner city, they are nothing more than that, at best they are more stable.Like some people's inner courtyards, they are paved with cobblestones.

But no matter which one it is, the stability is not high.

As Tang Yanxiu said, the paper packaging is too weak.

"I see. Then use paper packaging for biscuits and cakes, or use bamboo boxes. Or, can we make it more high-end, ceramic?"

Tang Yanxiu looked up at the second floor of the shop. Mo Qianrui was a little confused, so she also looked up, but found nothing.

Looking at Tang Yanxiu in surprise, before Mo Qianrui could ask a question, Tang Yanxiu took the initiative to explain her doubts.

"Xiao Rui, I admit that your cooking skills are very good, and you are also very good at teaching apprentices, and the types of pastry you choose are also very popular with the common people. But you seem to have forgotten to consider one thing."

"what?"

"This is the Dongmen Market, and this shop is in this area, which is more conspicuous. Before I bought this shop, I also went to see the situation. It turned out that this was a big restaurant, very grand. People who come and go There are not many customers, but I believe that the original owner still made a lot of money."

Mo Qianrui was at a loss, but based on her understanding of Tang Yanxiu, she knew that Tang Yanxiu's words must have other meanings.

Sure enough, Tang Yanxiu said again: "Look, all the people coming and going in the lobby are guests. At first glance, it seems that the business here is very good, but have you done a detailed calculation?"

"Are you worried that I will lose money? Shouldn't it? Although I haven't put my mind on the shop in the past few months. But I have read the account books every month. In the past two months, almost every month You can earn three or four hundred guan in a month. Calculated in this way, you can make ten guan in a day. Isn’t it bad?”

No, Tang Yanxiu laughed after hearing this.

"Xiaorui, this is Wanhua County, Dongmen Market. It's not the small shop you opened in Mingyue Town. Think about it, how much did you earn in a day?"

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Qianrui said: "In terms of pure profit, it's about two pennies, right? However, it depends on the situation."

"So, at that time, how many people around you helped you? Also, are you busy?"

Mo Qianrui lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly understood.

"Yan Xiu, what do you mean to say, this shop seems to be making money, but in fact, the money it makes may not be enough to pay the salary?"

"You bought all the servants in the shop, and their salary is almost zero. The only one who is considered high salary is the shopkeeper. But if I remember correctly, the shopkeeper was sent to you by the adoptive father. In terms of behavior, I will never ask you for money. Adding in the money needed for the operation of the store itself, I can only say that you have actually been making losses in the past few months."

Seeing Mo Qianrui who was instantly downcast, Tang Yanxiu patted the back of her hand amusedly.

"It's nothing. You used to work in the back kitchen. The meals you cook, or the customized menus, are very popular. But to run a restaurant, you have more than enough energy, right? And, I see that you have completely vacated the entire second floor, which..."

"Yan Xiu, help me."

Mo Qianrui is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer.

In fact, she has always understood that her advantage lies in the back kitchen, not in business management.

In the past, whether it was setting up a small food stall in the market or opening a small fast food shop in Mingyue Town, Mo Qianrui was able to play around because it didn't require a lot of manpower and cost.But just like Tang Yanxiu said, this does not represent her management ability.

"Don't worry, I will help you naturally. I will always remember our dream in our previous life, to open a mom-and-pop shop, and I will be in charge of the business and you will be in charge of the kitchen, right?"

"That's right! Then it's up to you."

"Wait a minute, Xiaorui, you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper, at least you have to tell me what kind of shop you plan to open first."

This question stumped Mo Qianrui. After thinking about it, she hesitated and said, "It's just an ordinary pastry shop."

Tang Yanxiu thought about it seriously: "Western pastry shops are also classy. Do you plan to open a fast food shop, or an afternoon tea shop, or simply a local tyrant who is so tall and has no friends?"

Seeing Mo Qianrui's bewildered face, Tang Yanxiu helplessly supported his forehead, and began to popularize knowledge with Mo Qianrui.

Fortunately, because of the memories of his previous life, Tang Yanxiu could definitely use those classic cases from his previous life to let Mo Qianrui choose.

The so-called fast food type, the most successful case is KFC.

Regardless of what it sells, at least it has achieved that where there are people, there is KFC, and it will always be the most lively existence.

"If this is what you want to do, it's easy. Let's name all the pastries and set the specifications. For example, drinks are small, medium and large cups, biscuits are small, medium and large bags, plus various styles Cakes of different tastes can also be customized into various set meals. The lobby outside is also simple, just copy KFC’s completely, and there is no private room on the second floor, all of them are open, and the counter is directly checked out, served by yourself Look for a place to eat with the dishes on the plate."

The advantage of time-traveling is that no one will pursue infringement issues.

It's just that this mode of paying first and then checking out may encounter some resistance at the beginning.But after a few months, I believe that even the ancients have strong adaptability.

"This kind is very good, but what is the afternoon tea type?"

"The tea house, or the tea restaurant in Hong Kong. The atmosphere should be slightly better, warm and friendly, suitable for friends to have dinner, or the kind of celebration banquet. The advantage is that we can raise the price appropriately. The disadvantage is that the mobile The sex is too bad, and the turnover rate is very low.”

In the form of KFC, what we pay attention to is a small profit but quick turnover.

The afternoon tea is relatively more common.However, it is easier to promote.

"The last one is the form of local tyrants. In this case, you have to be mentally prepared. There will not be many customers, and it will even look deserted. The shop needs to be redecorated, and people will know it when they see the facade. The prices here are sky-high, and no one in their right mind would come to eat them."

"That……"

"A lot of money is stupid, no matter what era there is no shortage of such people. Especially, as long as the grade is raised, there are many people who are willing to come and throw money." Tang Yanxiu spread his hands, "These three models are up to you. Choose. However, there is a sentence I want to make clear first, once it is confirmed, don’t change it.”
