Hua Ziqiang and Hua Xiangfan took a walk on the street.
You can see some shops opened on the street. The restaurant doors are wide open, and one or two waiters are wiping the tables inside, looking very efficient.
There is also a grocery store with some things displayed in a glass cabinet and a lot of daily necessities hung densely next to it.
There is also a repair shop at the end of the street that can repair bicycles.
Hua Ziqiang felt that the store should not be opened too close to other similar stores, otherwise it would be obvious that he was stealing business and would offend people.
When doing business, you should be friendly and smiling to others. Don’t do evil to others, otherwise you will cause countless troubles.
It was about a mile away from the restaurant. There was a school nearby and many people lived nearby. Hua Ziqiang found a residence facing the street and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged woman opened the door and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Hua Ziqiang smiled amiably and asked politely, "Comrade, could you please come in for a cup of tea?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I can bring you a bowl of tea, eat it and leave. It's not convenient to invite you in to my house."
Hua Ziqiang understood it immediately. There are too many bad people now, so it is normal to be vigilant.
He asked that just to find an excuse to look inside, but now he realized that his question was a bit presumptuous.
It’s better to state your purpose directly.
So Hua Ziqiang said again: "Comrade, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean any harm. I just want to find a place to do a small business. I see your house is in a good location, so I want to ask if you want to sell it."
The woman thought for a moment and asked, "Buy a house? How much do you want to spend?"
Hua Ziqiang was actually not a very smart person. When he was asked this question, he was in a dilemma. He didn't know the condition of the house, nor did he know what price to offer. He was unable to say anything for a moment.
"Sister, how big is your house?"
The eldest sister said, "It's about 50 square meters. Why don't you come in and take a look?"
Now she was willing to let people in to take a look, probably because she thought the two men looked very honest and had money hanging in front of them.
As soon as you enter, the light is not very good. There is a bright lobby at the entrance. After the lobby, it becomes a bit dark at the back and you have to turn on the light to see the scenery.
Place these tables, chairs, benches and miscellaneous items.
Two small rooms were separated, each room could only accommodate a bed and a wardrobe.
Hua Ziqiang looked at it and asked, "Can these walls be knocked down?"
It would be difficult to do business if we don't get rid of it.
The elder sister said: "I'm not sure about that. I don't understand this either, but if you want to buy it, the price is negotiable."
Obviously, she was not very confident about her house, and she felt guilty when the other party asked her this.
In fact, she originally wanted to sell this house, but because she was not very confident that she could sell it, she did not release the news for a long time. Now, someone happened to come to her house to ask about it, so she brought the house in to see it.
Hua Ziqiang then asked, "Then can you hit the wall at the entrance?"
The eldest sister said with certainty, "Yes, I know it's possible. This street is full of similar houses. I saw that their businesses were all destroyed, but they are doing well now."
Hua Ziqiang pondered: "The lighting in your house is not very good, and it will cost a lot of money to redecorate it. I'll give you 200, are you willing to sell it?"
When the elder sister heard that it could be sold for 200, she was not a smart person and simply thought that this was enough, so she nodded without any further negotiation.
"If you can come up with the money now, I'll take you to transfer the ownership right away—but you have to give me two days to move."
Hua Ziqiang was not in a hurry. He just wanted a place to report to, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can move slowly."
So, the two parties reached an agreement and immediately paid the money and transferred the property.
When transferring the ownership, I gave the staff some brown sugar. The process was quick and I only had to go there once.
Now that he had a venue, Hua Ziqiang went home to prepare other materials, then went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau again and registered Wan Qingliu's name. There was no problem with the business license at that moment.
After buying the store, it needed to be renovated, so Hua Ziqiang went to find Wan Qingliu again.
After all, Wan Qingliu had just finished renovating his house and should be familiar with the decoration team. At this time, there were no standards in various industries, so he could only find someone to introduce him to her, and it would be easier to get things done with someone.
Wan Qingliu recommended a decoration team to him. A few days later, the former owner's sister said that she had moved out. Hua Ziqiang changed the lock and then took the decoration team to see the house.
The renovation team took a look and said that the wall facing the street could be demolished, and all the other walls in the house except the load-bearing walls could be knocked down.
However, it has to be reported to the government and approved before construction can begin. It cannot be demolished just like that.
Hua Ziqiang discussed the decoration layout with the decoration team. The decoration team took out the drawings and submitted them for approval.
As the saying goes, it’s easier to get things done with someone.
The approval process didn't take long and was approved very quickly.
As construction began, Hua Ziqiang was thinking about how to run the restaurant.
Other chefs have their own specialty cuisine and sell their best dishes, but Hua Ziqiang has been guided by the gods and is an all-round player.
Of course, due to his personal preference, he mostly cooks spicy home-cooked dishes, so naturally, this is what he is most proficient in.
But if all you eat in a restaurant is home-cooked meals, then what’s the point of eating in the restaurant?
Therefore, you need to have a few special dishes as your signature dishes.
Hua Ziqiang was thinking about what kind of dish he should serve as a special dish to attract people to eat.
Naturally, the locals like spicy food, and they need spicy dishes that are difficult to make but delicious.
Hua Ziqiang suddenly had an idea. There was a snake meat farmer in Dafang Village, and it seemed that no one else here ate snakes.
Or... open a snake meat restaurant.
Hua Xiangfan was a little skeptical: "Brother, if you use snake meat as your signature dish, will they dare to try it?"
He was naturally not worried about the taste of the snake meat, and his brother's cooking skills were very good.
But the problem is that no one has ever eaten snake, and snakes look quite scary, so I'm afraid no one is willing to try it.
No one dares to try it, so no matter how delicious it is, it will be useless.
Hua Ziqiang said cheerfully, "What are you afraid of? It's not like the restaurant only has snake meat dishes. When they order other dishes, they get a free snake meat soup. How can they refuse it?"
They may not dare to spend money to try something they don't dare to try.
But if it's free, that's a different story.
Since you're already here and it's free, why not give it a try?
At least you can guarantee that someone will be willing to try.
Hua Ziqiang made a decision quickly.
In the first month of opening, each table was given a dish of fried snake meat with chili peppers.
Now that the weather is getting colder, the store has prepared a pot of mutton soup which you can drink for free.
Of course, you have to control costs when opening a store. If you want to make money, you can't use real meat. Using sheep bones with some meat is enough.
The flavor is still very rich.
