Chapter 177 Liu Wentao
early morning.
Zhao Yi came to the winery. Now every month the wine is delivered to Zhao Yi's restaurant first. Chen Fen signs the order and comes to the winery to settle the bill once a month.
"Comrade Zhao is here."
The director of the winery knew Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi had come to the director's house to repair his television.
"Come and pay the bill."
Zhao Yi took out the Daqianmen cigarette with a smile and handed one to the director of the winery.
As for wine, there was no need for Zhao Yi to send it. The winery had no shortage of wine at all.
"Comrade Zhao, come here. I have something to tell you."
The director of the winery called Zhao Yi to his office.
After Zhao Yi sat down on the chair opposite the desk, the director of the winery spoke slowly.
"I heard that your restaurant's liquor supply is in short supply and the monthly quota is totally insufficient. Is that true?"
"This is true. A lot of people come to the restaurant every day, sit at the door of the store and watch TV. They order cold pork skin. It's not a big deal if they don't order some wine. This has resulted in the 30 kilograms of wine being sold out before the end of the month."
Zhao Yi answered truthfully.
The small restaurant sold at least eight kilograms of wine every night, most of which were supplied to Zhao Yi on the black market. They were ten cents more expensive per kilogram than on the market side. Zhao Yi did not make any money from the customers' loose wine, so he sold it at the same price per kilogram as on the black market.
The price of loose liquor supplied to Zhao Yi by the winery was 50 cents per pound, while the price on the black market was 70 cents per pound.
"Comrade, if your liquor business is doing well, you can definitely apply for it. How would we know if you don't tell us? I've visited your place and found that you can sell at least ten kilograms of liquor every night. So I'll tell the comrades over there who deliver the goods, and I'll supply you with three hundred kilograms of loose liquor in the future. What do you think?"
The winery director said with a smile.
"That's great. I really don't know how to thank you, Director."
Zhao Yi was immediately delighted. This way, he would no longer need black market supplies and the business would be able to operate normally.
"We are all partners. If you sell more, it will help us to be more profitable. But I really need to tell you something. My son is getting married and there are many relatives. We want to set up a banquet with 20 tables. Can you help arrange it?"
The winery director looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
Nowadays, Zhao Yi's restaurant is the only one in the region where you can eat meat without a ticket. From time to time, there are some rare things, and twenty tables of meat dishes are set up at once. Even the big leaders of the region cannot afford so many meat tickets.
A table should have at least half a pound of braised pork (the braised pork won't be much less when it's cooked, just fry it lightly on both sides and stir-fry until cooked.)
You need twenty fish tickets.
Of course, many people do find ways to afford such a lavish banquet, but it is hard to imagine how these things came about.
Zhao Yi cooperated with the two village teams to solve the village's dividend problem and the problem of some workers in the area craving for meat.
Of course, Zhao Yi didn't know that his restaurant had already been thoroughly investigated.
There was no problem at all, so Leader Fang didn't ask anyone to pursue the matter further.
"when?"
Zhao Yi looked at the winery director and asked.
"June 8th."
There are still about twenty days left.
"I can't guarantee the quality of the braised pork. The weather is too hot right now. If they send us fresh meat, it will go bad before it gets halfway. We can only make it into smoked meat or braised meat. What do you choose?"
Zhao Yi looked at the winery director and asked.
"We also want braised meat. The smoked meat fried with chili peppers tastes pretty good too."
The directors of the braised pork, smoked meat and wine factory have all tried it, and they all taste pretty good.
Then the two began to finalize the dishes needed for the banquet, including braised loach, steamed shrimp, braised pork, stir-fried smoked pork with green peppers, braised fish, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and tofu and cabbage soup.
The price of nine dollars per table was set.
Zhao Yi received a deposit of ninety yuan.
At the same time, he also brought 100 kilograms of loose liquor brought by the deliveryman.
Zhao Yi couldn't prepare dishes for twenty tables, and Zhang Xiang was even less busy. Zhao Yi made a profit of nearly five yuan per table.
Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that professional matters should be left to professionals.
After get off work at noon, Zhao Yi came to Park Hutong.
When Liu Wentao and Hong Mei got married, Zhao Yi came here and naturally knew where Liu Wentao lived.
"Xiao Zhao, why do you have time to come and hang out in our yard?"
A salesperson at a department store saw Zhao Yi and joked.
Zhao Yi usually helps out in a restaurant at this time and doesn't have time to wander around. As for hosting a banquet at his colleague's home, there is no need to leave the department store and it can be set up directly in Zhao Yi's restaurant. Not only is the price reasonable, but the dishes are also high-end and presentable.
"Sister Wang, please stop teasing me. I came here to discuss something with Master Liu from your hospital."
Zhao Yi truthfully stated the purpose of his visit today.
"You are full of tricks all day long."
When the salesperson heard that Zhao Yi was coming to find Liu Wentao, he knew without thinking that he wanted to ask Liu Wentao to cook. Otherwise, why would he come to find a chef to teach him the skills? It was not realistic at all.
The apprentices accepted personally may all keep some skills.
"Comrade Zhao."
Seeing Zhao Yi appear at his doorstep, Liu Wentao greeted him with a smile. If one were to ask who is the most famous person in this department store, it would definitely be Zhao Yi. The reason is very simple: he is a maintenance man.
Who doesn’t have one or two home appliances at home?
As for the restaurant, not many people know that it was opened by Zhao Yi.
"Master Liu, I came here today to discuss something with you."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"Come in and sit down."
Liu Wentao immediately invited him.
The two walked into the room. At this time, two little guys were lying on the table doing their homework. The two little guys in Liu Wentao's family were younger than Zhao Xuanxuan.
He is just in the first grade now.
"Master Liu, our restaurant at the department store has received a business order, but we are too busy to handle it, so we would like to ask you to come over and help. It is for 20 tables of food for a wedding banquet.
You bring an apprentice to help and they pay you five dollars a day. ”
Zhao Yi looked at Liu Wentao and said.
The five dollars included Liu Wentao's own salary plus the apprentice's salary. Zhao Yi didn't care how many people Liu Wentao invited over. He had to cook twenty tables of food for them anyway.
“What are the dishes?”
When Liu Wentao heard the five dollars, he was immediately very happy.
Zhao Yi described the dish again.
"no problem."
Liu Wentao nodded.
I can take two apprentices with me and the three of us can take a day off and get the job done. I get three dollars and each apprentice gets one dollar. I guarantee to get the job done beautifully.
Three yuan a day is already a sky-high price. As for an apprentice, one yuan is considered a high salary. In a factory, it is only 15 yuan a month.
"Then let's make it a deal, June 8th."
Zhao Yi reminded.
"Don't worry, Comrade Zhao. I look forward to working with you often in the future."
Liu Wentao patted his chest and assured.
There are often people setting up banquets in the restaurant, and Liu Wentao knows this, but there are only four people in the restaurant. If they only focus on the banquets, they can handle it, but there are still many customers. As long as they do a good job this time, why should they be afraid that there will be no chance of cooperation in the future?
