Chapter 270 Li Jingyan
Li Jingyan stood in front of the window, watching the movements on the opposite side.
The shopkeeper went upstairs with a few assistants.
"Miss, this is what we bought from across the street."
Li Jingyan turned around and looked at the food they brought back.
"Please tell me what these are."
The shopkeeper winked at his waiters.
The guys took turns introducing: "This is a burger."
"The small one I bought is called pizza. There are different flavors. This is the smallest one."
"The small one is called chicken wing."
"This is called oden..."
Li Jingyan took a bite of the burger with a complicated expression.
She opened the burger and saw two soft pastry slices with a piece of meat, a fried egg and some vegetable leaves in between.
She tasted other foods and did not comment on them after eating. Instead, she asked the shopkeeper to call the chef she had hired at a high salary.
Ten chefs lined up and entered the study.
"I'll give you two days to research these things." Li Jingyan said coldly, "If you can't figure it out, then don't do it."
Several chefs took one dish each and tasted it. They were all well-known chefs and were a little proud, but they didn't dare to guarantee anything.
After the chefs left, the shopkeeper continued, "Miss, it's useless to just learn from them. This is only part of it. There are still many things we haven't bought back. The second floor is barbecue, which must be eaten on site and cannot be brought out. The third floor is the soup pot. In addition to the previous skewers, they have several kinds of soup ingredients. The most special is the fourth floor. Only their important members can go to the fourth floor. Our people can't go up there at all. Miss, the guy opposite is really capable."
"Uncle Zhang, what do you want to say?"
"Miss, our silk business is doing well, why do we need to open a restaurant?"
"I can open whatever I want. Even if it doesn't make money, it's good to cause trouble for Xia Ruwan." Li Jingyan said coldly, "You just need to follow orders."
Across the street, Xia Ruwan listened to her subordinates' report and found Qin Huiyin who was entertaining guests.
"Yinyin, our people saw several people buying things and going to the other side. They must be the guys on the other side. Do you think that shameless guy on the other side will copy us?"
"You said she was shameless, so it's normal for her to continue to learn from us." Qin Huiyin said, "But it won't be so easy to learn this time."
"We have to think of a way!" Xia Ruwan said, "We have worked so hard to build this scale. If she destroys it again, the loss will be huge."
"There are dozens of varieties now. How many can she learn? Don't worry, even if she wants to learn, she will be a jack of all trades. It won't be that easy for her to poach customers."
Mrs. Xia got off the carriage and looked at the shop in front of her with admiration in her eyes. She usually didn't smile much, but today she looked very happy and friendly.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"You have done such a great thing, how can I, as your mother, not support you? I will deposit 1,000 taels of silver today and become your largest member."
Xia Ruwan said with a smile: "Then Yinyin and I will not be polite. This distinguished guest, do you want to eat first, or go to the fourth floor first?"
"I'm not hungry yet, let's go to the fourth floor first." Mrs. Xia said to Qin Huiyin, "Huiyin, you are better than I thought."
"Aunt Xia, you're too kind. Wan'er and I are both excellent. We will continue to improve. One day we will grow into towering trees, as excellent as Aunt Xia."
Madam Xia laughed: "You really have a clever tongue."
"Manager Luwu, here is our most distinguished member. Take her to the fourth floor quickly." Qin Huiyin shouted to the opposite side.
Tang Luwu heard the noise and rushed over. She saw Mrs. Xia and personally took her to the fourth floor.
Mrs. Xia saw Li Taohua maintaining order on the first floor and wanted to say hello to her, but seeing that she was busy, she did not disturb her.
Since Mrs. Xia and Li Taohua became acquainted, both sides knew each other's experiences and felt a sense of mutual appreciation and regret for not meeting each other earlier. Although she did not succeed in getting an adopted daughter, she had a close friend with whom she could talk.
Tang Yichen was helping at the counter on the second floor.
The first floor had a large flow of people, and he injured his right hand and could only write with his left hand, so he did not stay on the first floor to help. The second floor was the barbecue area, where there was not so much traffic.
Tang Yixiao was in charge of guarding the third floor. There were not many people on the third floor at this time. After all, everyone was more interested in the first and second floors, and the soup pot area on the third floor was slightly less attractive to them.
Song Ruize, Jiang Qibin and others passed by on horseback.
"Oh my goodness, Brother Ze, could it be that our Weiyin girl is the God of Food who has descended to earth?" Jiang Qibin smacked his lips.
Song Ruize raised his lips: "Just treat her as she is!"
"Brother Ze, I'm going to take care of Sister Huiyin's business, don't stop me." After Jiang Qibin said this, he jumped off the horse and ran away at an extremely fast speed.
There was a waiter outside the door, who saw what happened and hurriedly pulled his horse.
Chen Yong scratched his head: "Brother Ze, I'm hungry too."
Song Ruize said calmly: "Today is a day off, you can make your own arrangements."
"Brother Ze, what about you?"
"Do you think I can leave?" Song Ruize said calmly, "Help me give the gift to her."
Song Ruize took out a box.
Chen Yong took the box and got off the horse.
The others hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation, so they left Song Ruize behind and ran inside.
Qin Huiyin took the box handed to her by Chen Yong, walked to the door and looked outside, only to see Song Ruize leaving.
She opened the box and saw a pair of exquisite ruby earrings.
"So beautiful." Xia Ruwan came closer.
Qin Huiyin closed the box.
"Put it on, this color suits you just fine." Xia Ruwan said, "Why don't I have such a good brother? I'm so envious."
"It's useless to be envious. Brother won't give it to you." Qin Huiyin said proudly.
Xia Ruwan snorted coldly: "Rare."
"Yes, you really like it. I see your eyes are shining green." Qin Huiyin teased her deliberately.
"I have money, I will buy it myself."
There were many guests today. From morning till night, they sent the last guest away only after the night market was over.
"Okay, put up the sign, hurry up, or someone else will have to come." Xia Ruwan was so tired that she didn't even want any customers and just closed the door.
"I don't want to do such a huge amount of calculations. Let the professional accountant do it!" Qin Huiyin said, "I just need to know the result."
Now the store has become bigger, the number of employees has increased several times, and the raw materials and losses in each store are also a huge amount. If she counts them one by one, her brain can't bear it, so it's easier to be a hands-off manager.
"My two bosses, Madam Xia topped up her membership card with one thousand taels of silver, plus the membership fees topped up by other ladies, adding up to one thousand eight hundred taels. Excluding this money, the fast food area on the first floor made a profit of three hundred and fifty taels, the second floor made one hundred and twenty taels, and the third floor made eighty taels." The accountant calculated the total.
