NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 34
""Boss, give me half a pound of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of tripe!"
He Daqing thought about it, locked his bicycle directly, walked into the tavern, and shouted to the owner of the tavern. It was still early, just past 6:30 in the evening. Although there were many people gathered in the tavern, there were two idle tables.
He Daqing didn't need anyone to entertain him, so he found an empty table and sat down, and then began to look at the layout of the tavern.
This is a traditional tavern.
The area of the tavern is not large, but it is not small either. It is about 180 square meters. There is a screen wall at the door, eight square tables and a counter inside. There are also several large wine jars next to the counter. There are also bonsai, vases and other decorations, which are not tacky at all.
He Daqing silently calculated in his heart, and the tavern in front of him was full of people. If the pub is full, it can seat about 30 to 40 people.
If, like in the TV series, the pub is doing booming business every day, with people standing and squatting to drink, and if each table is squeezed, it can probably hold 60 to 70 people.
And based on an average of two taels of wine and a small vegetable dish per person.
He Daqing thinks that the daily turnover of this pub should be at least one million, which is more than 100 yuan after 55 years.
And after deducting the costs, the profit should be more than half.
In other words, the daily profit of the pub can be comparable to the monthly income of a level 5 worker in a steel rolling mill. It is really making a lot of money.
This incident also tells everyone that no matter what era, working people can never get rich.
""Here we go!"
He Yongqiang, who was busy in the tavern, heard He Daqing's call and quickly brought the wine and food he wanted.
The beautiful and exquisite celadon wine pot, a small wine cup, and two dishes of small dishes made people's eyes bright.
"This old man He is not simple!"
"No wonder the tavern is doing so well. Just by looking at the exquisite celadon wine pot, you can tell that the old man is a very particular person."
He Daqing thought so and poured himself a glass of wine, ready to taste the authentic Niulanshan Shaoshao flavor of this era.
Who would have thought that he would spray out the wine as soon as he took a sip?
"No, boss, how much water did you put in this wine? This wine is Niulanshan Xiaoshao, but those who don't know it might think it's the Japanese sake!"
He Daqing was speechless, but he forgot that before Xu Huizhen took over the tavern, all the wine here was mixed with water.
"Hey, what's so strange about this? I heard from my father that the wine of Old Man He has been diluted with water since the Japanese invaded the city, and finally the Japanese soldiers were unwilling to come. Later, the National Army entered the city, drank the diluted wine, and beat him up. As a result, the old man did not change his bad habits, so he was called the old stubborn man."
As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, a laughing voice came from the side. It was a young man in a gray cotton jacket who came over and told him the glorious history of the owner of this tavern.
"It turns out that this boss is not an ordinary person!"
He Daqing gave a thumbs up, thinking that this old man He is really not an ordinary person. He dared to cheat even the Japanese and the National Army. He was not beaten to death. He was really lucky.
Of course, after hearing the explanation of the visitor, He Daqing believed that the old man He did it on purpose. He was really smart and could think of such a method to prevent the tavern from being eaten and drunk for free by the Japanese and the National Army.
This brain is much better than Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard!
He even saw that his cheap son He Yongqiang was not a material for business, so he tried every means to arrange a marriage for him and found a powerful daughter-in-law Xu Huizhen.
This is similar to He Daqing's proposal for his stupid son to marry Qin Huairu. They are both afraid that their cheap sons will not be able to keep the family business.
"Of course not, otherwise how could this old man He be so famous in Daqianmen?"
The visitor said, and sat directly at He Daqing's table. Without even looking at the selectively deaf old man He sitting behind the counter, he shouted to He Yongqiang who was busy,"Yongqiang, give me two taels of wine."
After that, the visitor looked at He Daqing and continued,"My name is Qiangzi, and I'm a tricycle driver. This sir looks a little unfamiliar. How do you address me?"
He Daqing heard this and waved his hands hurriedly,"I'm not worthy of it, I'm not worthy of it. Old He is just a bun seller. How can I be worthy of the title of 'sir'? You should just call me He Daqing."
"He Daqing?"
Qiangzi thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this He Daqing was.
But when he heard that He Daqing sold steamed buns, he immediately became excited and said,"So it's Boss He. If you need work in the future, just come to me directly. No matter whether it's grain or vegetables, I will definitely get it done for you. I wonder if your steamed bun shop is far from here?""
"That's great, I guess I'll have to trouble Brother Qiangzi more in the future."
He Daqing said with a smile:"My bun shop is at No. 88 Daqianmen Street, but it's not ready yet. When it's ready, Brother Qiangzi must come and support it."
"No problem!"
Qiangzi agreed casually.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, frowned and asked:"No, Boss He, where is your bun shop?"
"No. 88, Daqianmen Street, is there any problem?"
"No. 88 Daqianmen, isn’t that Zaihui Building?"
Qiangzi was shocked and asked curiously,"Did Guan Ziqing sell Zaihui Building to you?""
"Hey, if there is no other Zai Hui Lou in Daqianmen, then it is correct."He Daqing said with a smile, not hiding the fact that his store was the previous Zai Hui Lou.
"You are really amazing."
Qiangzi gave a thumbs up and praised:"Zaihuilou is a time-honored restaurant in Daqianmen. If it weren't for the prodigal son of the Guan family who ruined the restaurant, Zaihuilou might have been able to compete with Taifenglou." Taifenglou is also a time-honored restaurant in Daqianmen. It is one of the"eight famous restaurants" in Kyoto. It is famous for its exquisite cooking skills and its dishes featuring"fresh, crisp and tender". I don't know how many celebrities come here to visit.
"Is this true or false?"
He Daqing was a little skeptical when he heard this, and asked,"Can this Huilou be compared with Taifenglou?"
"Hey, how can we not compare?
Seeing that He Daqing didn't believe it, Qiangzi once again brought up his father's words.
"I heard from my father that the Tan family cuisine at Hui Lou was famous throughout the city and was no worse than Tai Feng Lou."
"But later when Guan Ziqing took over, he insisted on cooking Western food, saying it was a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine, which directly angered the chef who used to cook Tan's cuisine."
"After the chef left, it didn't last two years before Zaihuilou collapsed. Everyone went to Taifenglou for dinner and banquets."
Qiangzi finished speaking, and asked curiously,"Since Boss He has the ability to buy Zaihuilou, why don't you continue to run the restaurant instead of selling buns?"
After listening to Qiangzi's story,
He Daqing was speechless to his cousin.
Good guy, it's really good.
A time-honored brand that can almost be compared with Taifenglou was directly destroyed in less than two years.
He still wants to try a combination of Chinese and Western in a time-honored restaurant.
Guan Ziqing is really a smart guy!
However, He Daqing also has his own explanation for Qiangzi's question. He smiled bitterly and said,"Brother Qiangzi thinks too highly of me. How can I open a restaurant? It's already very good to open a bun shop."
"When my bun shop opens, brother Qiangzi must go to support it!"...............................
