Chapter 11 First Income
"Boss, how much are you selling these crayfish?"
Among the man and woman who walked into the barbecue stall, the man in Adidas short-sleeved shirt casually looked at the dishes in the wooden cabinet, but his eyes were mostly on the crayfish in the pot that exuded an enticing aroma.
This tasted much better than what he had tasted in Wuzhou before.
"Our crayfish without heads cost thirty-five per pot, about a little over a pound."
The price had been decided in advance, and Zhou Anan did not hesitate and directly quoted a price, believing that the well-dressed man in front of her was fully capable of spending it.
I didn’t expect that the first business we had as soon as we opened was that someone wanted to order crayfish. It looks like I’ve got money for tomorrow’s meals.
In his previous life, when he was running a crayfish restaurant, the market price of crayfish was 25 yuan per pound, but the store had at least 91 pots of crayfish without heads. The price he set now was not much different from others in terms of price/performance ratio.
"Well, Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat something else?"
The young man, who was obviously not short of money, asked the girl next to him about the price of crayfish without any hesitation.
He had eaten a lot of crayfish in Wuzhou City, but he hadn't eaten crayfish in the three months since he was transferred to this small county in Lizhou City. It was a rare opportunity to come across crayfish, and it looked good, so he naturally wanted to try it.
“This, this, this.”
After ordering a few dishes, the girl continued to hold the man's arms with her hands.
After the girl finished ordering the dishes, the young man continued to order a few more items and then sat down.
When they sat down, the young man picked up the tissue on the table and wiped it, then looked at the bottom of the tissue, nodded slightly, and continued to wipe the table top and stool for himself and the girl.
"Do you have any drinks here?"
"Not yet, but if you need anything, we can buy it for you."
"Then have a big bottle of Queer."
"OK."
Wang Rong was asked to go to Aunt Li's cake shop to buy drinks. Zhou Anan, who had originally planned to let customers help themselves, deftly put the dishes the girl ordered into an iron plate covered with plastic wrap.
In the first few times of attracting customers, Zhou Anan still had to do it herself, and she could also let Wang Rong learn from her.
Anyway, I'm not busy now.
When there are many people, this open wooden cabinet comes in handy. It allows guests to take their own dishes and also allows customers to see the freshness of the ingredients at the first sight.
"The crayfish is here, please wait for the other dishes."
There were already a few too many crayfish cooked earlier, so Zhou Anan immediately brought a plate full of crayfish to the table. After giving Wang Rong a few instructions, she quickly started a fire and started the charcoal.
Due to limited funds, Zhou Anan could not afford to buy an electric fan to draw out the smoke, so she could only fan herself manually with a small fan that she bought for one dollar to prevent the smoke from blowing onto the table and disturbing the customers' dining mood.
Brush with oil, roll, add ingredients, and soon, several delicious barbecues are freshly baked.
In his previous life, Zhou Anan often participated in barbecue buffets with his friends in his spare time. In order to get closer to the beauties who were traveling with him, he spent a lot of energy practicing his skills.
In several family barbecue self-service activities organized by tutoring institutions, Zhou Anan won the favor of many female students with his skills, but there was no beauty that attracted him.
For the sake of his moral integrity and character, and for the reputation of his tutoring institution, he rejected invitations from several beautiful girls.
Well, that’s a bit off topic. Anyway, Zhou Anan is very skilled in barbecue techniques, which is why he has the confidence to open a barbecue stall.
If you don't have the skills, how can you take on the job?
"Please enjoy your meal."
After serving a plate of barbecue, Zhou Anan looked at the few remaining crayfish on the other person's table and gave herself thirty-six likes with satisfaction.
The mission was a success and it seemed that the taste was well received by customers, and his skills from his previous life were not lost.
"Boss, another plate of crayfish."
Not caring about the price at all, the young man pointed at the few crayfish left on the plate and said.
"Okay, but you need to wait thirty minutes."
Although there was still more than a pound of crayfish in the pot, Zhou Anan added with a smile, thinking that he and Wang Rong had not eaten dinner.
"It's okay, it's a good chance for me to digest it."
In response, the young man said he could wait.
Crayfish needs to be cooked for a long time to be tasty.
If the next pot tastes good, this place can become the first choice for midnight snack in the future.
"Hold on."
Zhou Anan turned around and scooped out the remaining crayfish in the pot. She then took the oil pan that had been placed aside to the gas stove and poured in about one pound of crayfish.
If you count the weight before removing the shell, it is about one and a half kilograms.
What a conscientious businessman! Zhou Anan was almost moved by herself.
"You eat first."
Let Wang Rong take the extra crayfish from the first pot for dinner, while Zhou Anan continued to tinker with the crayfish.
After the crayfish started to roll in the soup, Zhou Anan took the time to sit down and eat dinner.
Without disposable gloves, Zhou Anan ate the lobster very quickly, which was the result of years of being single.
Even though Wang Rong ate first, the lobster shells in front of the two were inversely proportional. Zhou Anan finished at least three-fifths of them.
".The total is 102.5 yuan, just give 100 yuan."
When settling the bill, Zhou Anan generously knocked off a small deduction.
For this table, the highest costs are the crayfish and the bottle of Big Cool, and the rest of the vegetables and meat skewers only cost five or six yuan in total, with a profit of nearly 80 yuan.
The barbecue industry is indeed something that people yearn for.
"Um."
The young man handed Zhou Anan a hundred-dollar bill and left with the girl without caring about the price at all.
"Are you full?"
After seeing off the first big customer, Zhou Anan asked Wang Rong with a smile.
Earlier, he let the other party eat first, but Wang Rong always followed him and helped him, which made him very satisfied.
Even if you are old classmates, if you are lazy and like to eat and do nothing, your friendship will not last long.
"not yet."
"Then eat some more."
Zhou Anan, who had some free time, grilled a few skewers of vegetables, and the two of them sat down together to make up for their late dinner.
"An An, where are your parents?"
"My dad and the others are a bit busy these days, so let me take over first. I can barbecue anyway."
"I didn't realize you were so awesome."
“Average, third in the world.”
"Anzi, is our business a bit weird?"
Sitting on a small stool and fiddling with crayfish out of boredom, Wang Rong looked at the empty barbecue stall, then at the crowded crowd not far away, and a sense of worry arose in his heart.
Although there were a few people coming to dine before, they didn’t consume much, so I guess I didn’t make much money.
When Wang Rong thought about the fact that Zhou Anan's family spent 2,000 yuan a month to hire him, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.
It would be fine if the other party made money, but if he lost money, Wang Rong would definitely feel guilty about giving him such a high salary.
