Chapter 619

"My dad? I guess life is worse than death. "

Chen Xiaoying was distracted and whispered. He didn't notice Shen Dapeng's shrewd eyes. When he was called back by the mobile phone ring, Shen Dapeng had answered the phone.

"Hello, brother Peng, I'm Li Zeyu."

Li Zeyu's smiling voice came over the phone.

"Big head? What's up? "

"I want to ask you something. You said... Can xiaohetang hot pot be a national chain?"

Li Zeyu's voice was very low, as if squeezed out of his throat.

"Why did you suddenly think of it? Didn't boss Tang of xiaohetang say that he was afraid that others would smash his sign when he was a chain store? Yes? He agrees now? "

"I'm just at the door of xiaohetang hotel. I just want to ask him if he agrees. Our self cooked hot pot fast food is very popular. Recently, more than one catering company has called to ask if we are willing to be a national chain hot pot restaurant. The formula of hot pot seasoning has been asked for 500000."

On the premise that the per capita salary in 2002 was only a few hundred yuan, someone can shout a sky high price of 500000 for the formula of a hot pot bottom. This person can also be regarded as a person with vision!

At least I know a lot about the relatively new business model of catering chain, or I have high expectations for the future of catering chain.

"Brother Peng? Why don't you say something? Do you think xiaohetang hot pot can be a national chain? "

Li Zeyu's anxious voice came again on the phone.

"If you just say the taste, the bottom material of xiaohetang is really good, but when we make self cooking hot pot, boss Tang has refused to be a chain. He doesn't agree. It's no use if you want more. It's better to focus on the company's affairs and go to the food factory more when you have time..."

"OK, I see. Since brother Peng says you can do it, I'll talk to boss Tang. In case he agrees, don't say it first..."

"Hello, hello..."

Shen Dapeng was afraid that Li Zeyu would be in a hurry and make boss Tang unhappy. He wanted to give some instructions. Unexpectedly, Li Zeyu hung up in a hurry.

Li Zeyu happily got into the xiaohetang hot pot shop, smelled the pungent smell, was in a good mood, and hurried straight to the bar.

At noon, just in time for lunch, boss Tang was busy calculating accounts at the bar, while the landlady ordered meals with the guests at each table in the hall. There were several waiters in the private room who ordered and delivered meals back and forth.

"Boss Tang, business is good!"

"Hey, manager Li is here. Why are you alone and your little girlfriend hasn't come back?"

Boss Tang just looked up and kept busy. The calculator in his hand crackled and kept pressing.

"Ah, I'm greedy. I'll go back to the county to eat you."

Li Zeyu went to the bar and took a bottle of Yingying as if he were at home. When he unscrewed it, he Gulu drank half a bottle.

"OK, then go to the hall and find a place to sit. Is everything still the same?"

"As usual, as usual..."

Li Zeyu had something in his mind, seemed a little absent-minded, and answered casually.

When boss Tang finished paying the bill, he looked up and found that Li Zeyu was still standing nearby, "why don't you go and sit inside? There's a place! I won't be busy for a while. I'll have a drink with you. "

"Well, I went first."

Li Zeyu casually found a seat close to the inside and looked at the guests at the next tables talking nonsense.

The decoration of xiaohetang hot pot shop is not too high-end, and there are not many seats, but it is almost full at meal time. Even when it comes to holidays, it has to turn over two or three times at noon and at night.

One day, the gross profit is three or two thousand yuan. After deducting various costs, it is estimated that you can earn hundreds of yuan, which can be regarded as a good benefit in a small county and even the city.

"Zeyu, I won't be busy for a while. Let your uncle Tang drink with you."

The boss's wife is very nice. She always has a steady and satisfied smile on her face. She can handle even those who drink too much and play crazy.

"I'll eat it first. I'll talk about it later."

As soon as the hot pot was on the table, Li Zeyu couldn't wait to hold a spoonful of old soup and enjoyed it very much. "Yes, yes, that's the taste. You can't eat it in provincial cities."

"Aunt, you are so busy every day. Aren't you tired? The self cooking hot pot made by our catering company has good benefits. Uncle Tang has 20% of the shares, and the dividend is several times more than that in your store in a year. Do you still worry about this store? "

"If I were you, I would have taken the money to find my son. Anyway, Tang Yu's little object looks really good. If you don't take good care of him, the little girl will run away with others."

Seeing that Li Zeyu didn't speak seriously, the landlady gave him a white look, "it's no big or small with your aunt. Believe it or not, I'll get you some rotten duck blood and put it all in the pot?"

"Hiss, I don't believe it. Your ingredients are not enough to sell, but they can rot?"

Li Zeyu stretched out his hand to rinse the mutton and looked at the landlady, "aunt, I don't joke with you. It's so hard. Why do you work every day?"

"Cheap leather. If you don't work all day, you will feel dizzy and weak limbs. Either your arms and legs are numb or your muscles are cramped. People who are busy all day long like this eat well and sleep well."

"Landlady, I think you and old Tang have worked hard all their lives."

A frequent guest nearby said hello and interrupted, "do you two have to earn enough pension money for yourself, and then earn money for your son to marry a daughter-in-law. When your son marries a daughter-in-law, do you still have to earn milk powder money for your grandson?"

"Ha ha!!"

The landlady and several guests around her were happy, but then she had no choice but to smile bitterly.

People of their generation are old and young. They have caught up with the most hazy period of the national economy and the last bus of "raising children to prevent old age". Just as customers say, they have worked hard all their life to save money for their children. It seems that they must watch their children get married and have children before they can be considered successful.

"Alas, I just can't do it. If I can casually get hundreds of millions of projects like boss Liu of the food factory, who will guard a hot pot shop from morning to night."

The landlady's greasy hand touched her greasy apron. "In order to earn some money, she makes herself dirty every day. She looks down on herself."

"Aunt, come and sit down."

Li Zeyu asked the landlady to sit opposite and saw that the people around him were no longer paying attention to himself, which reduced his voice.

"Aunt, do you think you're not so busy? With the flavor of your home, it's easy to open a few chain stores and hire a few capable people as store managers. At least, it's easy to make some money in our province. "

"Chain store? Do you mean to join the branch? "

The landlady shook her head. "Should your uncle Tang have told you? Before, a relative of my family opened a branch store, but it didn't do well. They almost smashed our sign. "
