I have also summarized many aspects that need to be paid attention to when opening a restaurant.
Liu Yusu is an honest person. She used to make lunch boxes for customers in Internet cafes, which was very down-to-earth.
The ingredients are all of good quality and washed cleanly, for fear that the customers might have problems eating them.
Grandma Xu is not petty at all and pays special attention to food safety.
The two even went to the vegetable stall owner in the market that Liu Yusu used to patronize regularly, and made an agreement with the stall owner to purchase large quantities of goods from him in the future.
A lower price was negotiated.
Originally, Liu Yusu only made lunch boxes for Internet cafe customers, and the purchase quantity was limited.
But because he was familiar with the stall owner and visited the stall every day, he bought much more than ordinary customers.
The stall owner has given Liu Yusu a more favorable price.
But now that even restaurants have opened, the demand has increased, so the price has dropped a little.
After the deal was done, when she returned home, Grandma Xu sighed, "It's a pity that Hexing Village is a little far from here, otherwise it would be great to buy from Hexing Village. It can also help the villagers' income, and we know more about the harvest in Hexing Village, and we know that the quality of rice and vegetables in our village is good."
When Lu Youxi heard this, he said, "It's not very convenient to transport vegetables here. If it's transported by land, most of them are transported by truck. But Hexing Village is far away from here, so the cost is greatly increased, far less than the price agreed with the stall owner."
"But for rice and flour, we can cooperate with Hexing Village." Lu Youxi said, "Rice and flour can be stored for a long time, and there are no villages near the imperial capital that produce rice and flour in large quantities. The delicious rice and flour in the imperial capital are also transported from far away."
"The rice from Hexing Village tastes good, but it's not well known yet, and only we know it. It just so happens that we can transport the rice from Hexing Village. Since it's shipped from far away, it's definitely not as cheap as shipping it from the place of production."
"Let's not talk about making Hexing Village famous for its rice now. We are just opening a small restaurant, so it's too early to talk about this." Lu Youxi said, "But it is okay to let the villagers earn money and achieve mutual benefit and win-win with them."
"The prices in Fengnan City are low, and the prices in Hetai Town are even lower. The rice from our village can't be sold at any price nearby. Rice with such a good taste can be sold at five times the original price in the imperial capital." Lu Youxi said, "However, we purchase in large quantities directly, which is definitely different from buying in supermarkets in the imperial capital. I thought about giving the original sellers of the Hexing villagers 60% more price. How about that?"
"That's a lot!" Grandma Xu was surprised. "It's much more than I thought!"
"My ability is limited now, and the quantity we want is also limited. If you two can make the restaurant bigger and stronger, we will want more. At that time, we can even let Hexing Village produce only rice, and we can raise the purchase price." Lu Youxi said, "Then the villagers will probably really get rich."
"That's great! Then we will definitely work hard and do a good job!" Grandma Xu was immediately filled with energy after being encouraged by Lu Youxi.
"Although the village chief said before that our village was selected for support, it is still in the planning stage and we don't know when it will start. Besides, it will definitely be better for our village to have one more way and one more choice." Grandma Xu said, "Let the buyers provided by the government buy the vegetables. If the rice they buy is not as high as the price we offer, then let our village give us the rice."
Grandma Xu couldn't wait any longer. "When are you going to tell the village chief about this?"
Lu Youxi laughed and said, "I'll go and tell you right away."
Lu Youxi went to call the village chief, and Grandma Xu excitedly told Liu Yusu: "I still remember the day when Youxi left Hexing Village to come here to study, the whole village went to the village entrance to see her off. The village chief also told her not to forget Hexing Village and to help Hexing Village become rich together."
"At that time, I thought that I believed Yuki could definitely do it, but it would probably take a few years. After all, Yuki was still a student, so how could she help Hexing Village become rich?" Grandma Xu sighed, "I didn't expect that Yuki could do it in just half a year!"
Not to mention Grandma Xu, even Liu Yusu didn't expect it.
"Don't tell me, I'm still confused." Liu Yushu looked confused. "Originally, I only knew that Youxi was a good student. I was not very knowledgeable, and I thought that if she was a good student, she would have a bright future. She could find a good job and stay in the city instead of going back to Hexing Village. That was my greatest hope for Youxi."
"Besides, she lived with her grandparents at that time. You know her grandparents, Yuki didn't have a good life. She was angry that we had to be sneaky when giving her something. I understand. I would be angry too. She is also our child, so sensible. She does everything at home, studies well, and never worries us. Why can't such a good child get even a little love?"
Even though it has all passed, Liu Yusu couldn't help but tear up when she thought about it.
"At that time, I thought that it was natural for that child to be angry. At that time, I was hoping that she could pass the exam, no matter where she went. Youxi studied hard, so she would definitely be able to get into a good university. Once she passed the exam, she would never come back. Let her be angry with us. She didn't live for herself for a single day in the first 18 years. I just hope that she can live for herself in the future."
Liu Yushu sniffed and smiled again, "I just didn't expect it. I thought Youxi would have a bright future, but I didn't expect her to be so successful. She's only a freshman and has only been in the capital for half a year. She's already grown her business and it's booming. Now, she's not only making money for herself, but also helping her fellow villagers make money together. I didn't even dare to imagine it before."
"It's said that it's not easy to live in the imperial capital," Liu Yushu sighed. "As a result, Youxi came and not only settled down here, but also brought us all here and started a business here."
Liu Yushu sighed, "I never dared to dream that I could have the life I have now."
"So, as long as you are a capable person, there will be no problem anywhere. Only those who are incapable will complain about the world," sighed Grandma Xu.
Like her two children, they went to the city to work and complained that they were not born into a good family.
I still think about her little things every day.
She is not the kind of person who wants her son to become successful or her daughter to become beautiful.
I just hope that my children can be down-to-earth, work hard and live hard.
