Chapter 22 Barbecue is on the market
Father Xia was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "That's great, it's just right for me to do business for a few years, and then help your brother Xiaofeng find a wife." Thinking of the future, he couldn't stop smiling.
Xia Yutong was speechless when she heard what her father said.
She glanced at Xia Feng and saw that he agreed, so she shut up.
After all these years, Xia Feng has accumulated some wealth.
After the calculation, each family contributed fifty taels of silver. Xia Yutong did not keep the barbecue recipe for herself, nor did she include it in the profit sharing.
The two families split the profits 50-50, but on weekdays, Xia Feng is responsible for the barbecue.
This is hard work.
Winter is fine, but when summer comes, it’s…
"Xiaotong, aren't you at a loss in this way?" Xia Feng was not an ungrateful person. Seeing such a profit distribution, he still felt a little guilty.
"It's not a loss, because it's Brother Feng who does the work on weekdays." Xia Yutong said playfully.
Everyone laughed when they heard the conversation between the two.
This matter is settled.
Father Xia asked Xia Feng to stay at his home, as there happened to be an empty room there.
Xia Feng did not refuse. He really wanted to enjoy this warm environment for his future life.
The next day, Xia Feng went back to the village. After all, it was his home and there were many things in it that he could use, so he had to take everything out.
Xia Feng left the village and no one in the village knew about it.
Even to the village chief, Xia Feng didn't bother to inform him.
Because there is no need.
With the addition of Xia Feng, the Xia family became more lively.
As soon as Xia Feng arrived at the Xia family, Xia Yutong pulled him out to look for a store.
Barbecue restaurants are different from braised food restaurants. They must be located in places with a lot of people.
There are many people in West Street, but only a few can afford to eat there.
So when looking for a store, they tend to go to East Street.
But the shops there are all in one word: expensive.
You really can’t rent a good one with one hundred taels of silver. Even if you can find one, it will be snatched away by others.
They ran like this until after the Chinese New Year, and finally found a small shop.
This shop used to sell groceries, but business wasn't very good. Plus, the shop was really small, only about 20 square meters. Once you put the cabinets and other things in place, there was only enough space for one person to pass through.
It is easy to imagine how the business is doing.
But for them, a shop of more than 20 square meters is enough. There is a small flat area in the back, which is perfect for barbecue, and people can sit in the front.
It can accommodate several tables.
Besides, these things don’t necessarily have to be eaten while sitting, you can also eat them in your hands.
After the business is good, we can also cooperate with some inns. Xia Yutong took a fancy to this place.
Xia Feng didn't really know much about doing business, so he learned as he listened.
The owner of this shop offered a low price, one hundred taels of silver was a little less, so the two of them added some more and bought the shop outright.
Because of this, Xia Feng really became a pauper.
Fortunately, Xia Yutong is very capable, and because of the favor of Xia's father's braised food stall, the butchers are willing to let them buy on credit, paying the first day's bill the next day.
Seeing how much money they were spending, Father Xia looked worried, but he didn't say much.
When I set up my stall every day, I also help them advertise.
When they said they were going to make some new food, some old customers showed some interest.
After asking about the opening hours, we waited one by one.
In mid-February, Xia's BBQ Restaurant opened.
That morning, Xia Yutong set off a long packet of firecrackers in front of the store, which was really lively.
It will be lunch time soon, and since it's February, everyone has some spare money, so this little bit is not a big deal.
Barbecue not only includes grilled meat, but also some vegetables, mushrooms, etc.
These mushrooms are collected from the surrounding areas, and they are so fragrant when roasted.
Later, Xia Feng's movements were very skillful. After a while, a plate of barbecued meat was ready. Xia Yutong brought it out personally and stood at the door of the store to shout.
“Delicious barbecue, no charge if it’s not delicious.”
In fact, when the summer breeze is blowing, the fragrance will spread all around, and some people's appetites have already been aroused.
Seeing someone coming over, Xia Yutong took out a few small wooden sticks and said, "If you like it, come and try it."
After saying that, he handed a wooden stick to the person in the front.
"Uncle, try it. It's delicious."
The uncle felt a little embarrassed to touch the girl when he saw her smiling face, but the fragrance was so tempting that he couldn't help but touch her.
He was shocked when a piece of barbecue entered his mouth.
Without saying anything more, he walked into the store.
"Laogen, how much is the barbecue?"
Xia Feng has to barbecue in the store and also deal with the customers.
"Grilled meat is three cents a skewer, and vegetables are one cent a skewer." These prices were agreed upon by them at home.
When he heard that there were vegetables, the uncle became very rude.
"Give me some of everything. Ten skewers of barbecued meat and ten skewers of vegetables. How do you like it?"
"Okay, wait a moment."
If there is one business, there will be two.
Seeing people go in, some tourists were still undecided, but after hearing the price, they were tempted, but worried that it would not taste good.
At this time, Xia Yutong took action.
She is still good at judging people.
After a while, several people sat in the store.
Before everyone started eating, a regular customer of Xia's father's stall came over.
"Girl, your father said there will be delicious food today. What kind of delicious food do you want?" These people all knew Xia Yutong.
They were all very elderly and were very happy about this smiling girl.
"Uncle Mao, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Qin, you are all here. Come in, please." Xia Yutong was so happy to see them coming.
After inviting people in, I introduced them one by one.
People who had entered the store before had a new understanding of it.
All requested additional dishes.
Not only pork, but also chicken, duck, everything.
It's no less than a modern barbecue restaurant.
There were many customers in the hotel, but Xia Feng was the only one there, and he was a little overwhelmed. Xia Yutong joined in without saying a word.
Fortunately, in order to deal with this situation, the locals opened a window directly on the back wall.
First, it is convenient for the smell to spread, and second, it is convenient to see if there are any customers who have left their order.
First the villain, then the gentleman, that's normal.
These meats were marinated last night and roasted over high heat, and they were cooked in no time.
The worst part is the vegetables, which cook even slower than the meat.
One penny's worth of vegetables is quite a generous portion.
Xia Yutong helped everyone bring out the cooked barbecue.
"Enjoy your meal, everyone."
For this thing, just smelling it is definitely not enough.
Got to taste it.
Look, all these people who came in have added again and again.
Some people who were watching the scenery outside could no longer bear it and ran in one after another.
On the first day of business, due to an incorrect estimate, all the goods were sold out shortly after noon.
I had to go home and re-cook the barbecue vegetables for dinner.
Time is a bit tight.
