"Ten yuan for a serving of crayfish?"
"Would anyone eat something this expensive?"
Liu Jianguo was the first to frown and ask the question.
Everyone knows perfectly well how much an ordinary person earns in a day; five yuan for a vegetable is considered the absolute maximum.
That's doubled the price by ten yuan! How many people would be willing to eat that?
"Yes, I've heard that Mr. Su, the owner of the Jinjiang Hotel, travels around a lot, is very knowledgeable, and is a very shrewd person."
How could he possibly do a losing business?
Weng Hong couldn't help but raise her own question.
She could understand her son-in-law's desire to make money, but he had to take it one step at a time. How could he expect to achieve everything in one fell swoop?
“Mother-in-law, this is the Jinjiang Hotel, not an ordinary hotel.”
This ten-yuan serving would definitely not sell in other small restaurants, but it's different at Jinjiang Hotel.
Big shots, leaders, and wealthy people all hold their banquets, engagement parties, and wedding parties here.
Once the spicy crayfish brand is established, it will definitely be a huge hit.
So you don't need to worry, and Mr. Su's profits aren't just from crayfish, but also from soft drinks and beer.
"The profit margin for these drinks is much higher than that for crayfish."
Beer and crayfish are a perfect match.
Both men and women generally drink beer; those who don't drink beer can drink soda.
There are also those who drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), which is quite exciting and addictive.
In this way, Boss Su made quite a sum of money!
His parents-in-law had no idea about the profits from alcohol sales, but he knew it all.
"I didn't know that a single crayfish could be sold for so much!"
"Xiaoyu, you're quite clever."
After listening to Yu Chengyuan's words, Liu Jianguo nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration.
"Thank you for your praise, Father-in-law!"
I reckon we'll get a reply tomorrow. Today, my brother and I delivered fifty pounds of crayfish over.
Let's see today's results.
Yu Chengyuan was very confident, and his face was beaming with a confident and joyful smile.
"Xiaoyu, from now on, stop calling your father-in-law and mother-in-law 'father-in-law' and just call them 'Dad' and 'Mom' like Sulan does!"
That sounds better.
Ah Hong, don't you think so?
Liu Jianguo nudged his wife gently with his elbow and looked at her with a smile.
"It's up to Xiao Yu himself."
"It's getting late, I'll go cook the rice. You two can stir-fry the vegetables later!"
After finishing her sentence, Weng Hong turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"Okay!"
"Mom! I'll cook in a bit."
Yu Chengyuan happily agreed, his heart filled with joy.
When my mother-in-law says that, it means she agrees.
Making him call them "Mom" and "Dad" shows that their relationship has become closer, thanks to his father-in-law.
"Dad, please have some tea."
What would you like to eat today? I'll make it for you later.
Yu Chengyuan quickly and attentively poured his father-in-law a cup of tea, his face full of a fawning smile.
"Hahaha... You can cook whatever you want, and everything you cook will taste delicious."
"Anyway, after eating your cooking, my own cooking just doesn't taste right."
Liu Jianguo said with a smile that he was becoming more and more satisfied with his son-in-law's cooking skills.
"Alright, today I'll make a stir-fried pork with chili peppers and a braised pork ribs!"
Su-lan was tired of drinking soup every day, so braised pork ribs were a good option for her to try and change things up.
Make an egg and tomato soup and stir-fried cabbage.
Yu Chengyuan smiled and arranged the dishes for lunch today.
"Great, great, great! It has meat, vegetables, and soup; the combination is really good."
Liu Jianguo nodded in satisfaction.
These are all home-style dishes. This young man is thoughtful and considerate, even taking his daughter into account, something his parents hadn't thought of.
About ten minutes later, Yvonne Yung came out.
She heard the conversation between the father-in-law and son-in-law clearly from inside.
She handed the apron around her waist to her son-in-law, saying, "Xiao Yu, the rest is up to you. I've already washed the vegetables."
Old Liu, why don't you go in and help out?
In the Jinjiang Hotel, Su Minghua was sitting in his office, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind still replaying the scene from yesterday when Director Zhu and his group from the Forestry Bureau were praising the spicy crayfish.
Last night, they finished off all the remaining crayfish in one go, and everyone gave it a thumbs up.
I don't know how many people will order this dish at noon today, but the restaurant has already put up a sign for it.
He even had someone take a great photo of the freshly cooked spicy crayfish and posted it on the signboard outside. It was so eye-catching that customers could see it at a glance.
Su Minghua silently prayed: I hope someone will eat it!
I caught fifty pounds of that kid today. I wonder what will happen today.
Looking at the time, it's already 10 o'clock. In another hour or so, it will be lunchtime.
As Su Minghua was pondering this matter, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hello, Mr. Su, this is Director Zhu."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Director Zhu, hello, hello!"
Su Minghua quickly replied.
"Mr. Su, my nephew is getting married today."
I had originally booked another hotel, but I asked him to cancel it and then recommended your Jinjiang Hotel to him.
Director Zhu got straight to the point.
"Thank you, Director Zhu. Could you please provide a menu, and how many tables would you like to book?"
Give us a number too!
Su Minghua asked with a smile, thinking to himself that he hadn't expected someone to book a wedding banquet today.
There are quite a few!
"My nephew said there would be 30 tables, 20 for lunch and 10 for dinner."
