Chapter 449: Successful Stealing



In order to achieve his dream as soon as possible, Lin Zizhu came to the hot pot restaurant to work not only on weekends this month.

She would come over even on weekdays at night and during the day when she had no classes.

Anyway, the hotpot restaurant pays her, the only part-time employee, on an hourly basis.

You can learn the essence of the hot pot city earlier and take advantage of Jiang Tiantian and others... why not do it?

Lin Zizhu thought that after a month of observation and practice, he had mastered all the information about the hot pot city.

Including the cooking of hot pot base, the purchase channels of fresh dishes, and the various marketing tactics of hot pot restaurants...

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, she controlled her temper and stayed in the hot pot restaurant for half a month.

And taking advantage of the free time, I started looking for new stores nearby.

Since the "Xifulai" hotpot restaurant has already become famous and made this street popular, why should she go far away and start over in a new place?

It's located nearby, so there are already diners.

The consumption level of "Xifulai" is not cheap, because all the raw materials and ingredients of "Xifulai" are of the best quality.

Be it meat, vegetables, or spices... anything that is not good cannot be accepted in Joy Luck Restaurant.

This is also the per capita consumption of "Xifulai". Although it is relatively high in this era when the per capita salary is only a few dozen yuan, there are still endless stream of people coming to eat.

The working class can reward themselves with a meal once a month.

People whose families are well-off don’t care about the money for this meal.

Think about how many people there are in Beijing?

Can business be bad?

Lin Zizhu’s idea was very simple. She just needed to lower the price a little bit based on that of “Xifulai”, but keep the taste similar.

It will definitely attract some diners who want to spend less money and enjoy the same taste.

The meat of "Xifulai" is basically purchased directly from the slaughterhouses in Beijing every morning, with the freshest slaughtered livestock shipped here.

Some bacon and sausages are purchased from Chajia Village and its surrounding areas.

In addition, after Jiang Tiantian went out last time, she found some good ingredients from several cooperating counties and cities, and then purchased some.

After trial sales in the hotpot city, the products with good reputation were retained, and long-term supply agreements were negotiated with the local authorities.

The price of this part is difficult to lower, and Lin Zizhu has no intention of saving costs in this area.

She plans to start with fresh seasonal vegetables.

She found out that the fresh seasonal vegetables of "Xifulai" were all picked from the village on the outskirts of Beijing and delivered to them every day.

These vegetables taste really good, but they are not cheap. There are one or two rare vegetables that are even more expensive than meat.

But it can’t stop diners from ordering too much.

Lin Zizhu secretly went to the village to investigate, in addition to supplying goods to the "Xifulai" hot pot restaurant every day.

Local villagers also grow some for their own consumption.

For this part, she can just purchase directly from the villagers.

But the price is definitely cheaper than that of "Xifulai".

Lin Zizhu also picked some common vegetables from several surrounding villages.

She believes that most people come to Hotpot City to eat hotpot for the fresh, spicy and spicy soup base and the various meats.

How much vegetables can you eat?

The taste is a bit bad, you can't taste it at all.

Another part is the alcohol and beverages in the store, which is also the biggest profit.

Lin Zizhu knew that most of the alcoholic beverages in the store were shipped by suppliers found by the big boss Jiang Tiantian herself.

The price is not low either.

Not every table of diners who come to the restaurant to eat hotpot are willing to order those slightly expensive drinks.

Before, Lin Zizhu laughed at Jiang Tiantian and others for not knowing how to do business.

Expensive alcoholic beverages are necessary, but they should not affect the sales of low-end and cheap alcoholic beverages.

If the store adds some cheap alcohol and drinks, she believes that the consumption per table will increase.

Jiang Tiantian and A Ku just watched Lin Zizhu act up quietly.

Another half month passed.

As expected, Lin Zizhu, looking embarrassed, submitted his resignation to Tan Zhilin.

"Brother Xiaolin, our school teacher found me a few part-time tutoring jobs. He said that working in a hot pot restaurant doesn't help me improve my abilities, and it's tiring and hard, so it's meaningless."

"He said that I was a good student, and if I could help those students get into college, it would not only help cultivate talents for the country, but also improve my teaching ability."

"My future dream is to stay in college as a teacher, educate people, and be an excellent gardener, so..."

After saying that, she looked up at Tan Zhilin with reluctance, her eyes were a pair of peach blossoms with a hint of red at the corners.

Looks a bit pitiful.

Tan Zhilin is a love-sick person. Once he sees his sweetheart, he can't think of anything else.

He felt sorry for Lin Zizhu, a college student from National Tsing Hua University, who was in the store every day, serving dishes and pouring water for customers, washing dishes and wiping tables...

He had previously told Lin Zizhu privately that he could give her the money directly and ask her to send it home for her mother's medical treatment.

After all, saving lives first is the most important thing.

But Lin Zizhu said, "My mother taught me since I was young that girls should respect themselves and not accept charity from others for no reason."

"She said that if I sold myself out and used the man's money to treat her illness, she would rather jump off the building and end her life directly..."

Tan Zhilin got anxious when he heard this, "I, I didn't ask you to sell yourself out, I, I just..."

He stared at me for a long time but couldn't say anything.

He had intentions towards Lin Zizhu, and all the employees in the store could see it. He didn't believe that Lin Zizhu didn't know it.

But this girl was like a fool. Every time she saw him, she would stay away from him.

I was afraid of causing trouble for him.

After all, the store’s rule is not to hire part-time college students.

But Tan Zhilin made an exception for Lin Zizhu.

Just this alone has caused many employees in the store to have various opinions in private.

Lin Zizhu had said to Tan Zhilin before, "I have already caused you to violate the store rules and created resentment among the employees. I cannot harm you again. Let's keep a distance from each other."

These words made Tan Zhilin feel even more pity.

Look how kind and considerate this girl is.

He just didn't understand why Jiang Tiantian and the others always disliked this girl.

Is it because this girl is also pretty that Jiang Tiantian feels uncomfortable?

A Ku and Cha Jiuzhang, two stinky men, always pamper Jiang Tiantian and listen to her no matter what she says.

But Tan Zhilin never thought that before Lin Zizhu appeared, didn’t he also obey Jiang Tiantian’s words?

Lin Zizhu left the hot pot restaurant smoothly.

As she walked out of the store, she looked back sarcastically at the three large, flamboyantly written characters "喜福来".

She knew that these three words were written by another boss, A Ku, and that many of the calligraphy and paintings in the store were painted by A Ku.

She didn't know how to appreciate them and felt that these calligraphy and paintings were no different from those piled up in a flea market that no one cared about.

She can spend a few dozen dollars to go to the flea market and buy a lot of things.

You can frame it and hang it on the wall, it will also look classy.
