Li Haitang estimated the price, and he weighed it over and over again. Scholars don't do physical work and don't eat much. As long as they have more dishes, they can still make a profit.
The first buffet restaurant does not seek to make a considerable profit, it is more important to make a name for itself.
"Madam, do you know that for sixty or so Wen, you can buy a roast chicken in Kyoto."
Although scholars are not common, they are not stupid. A meal, including meat, dishes, melons and fruits, and drinks, costs sixty-six yuan. They go to Songhe Tower once in a while, and they don’t have a few taels of silver. The gap is not so big!
If one person eats a roast chicken and eats something else, the shop will be ruined.
Scholars are very interested in hearing about this model. They don't want to find a good restaurant and close it within a few months. I hope that Li Haitang will reconsider.
"I know that."
If it is said that the purchase value of one penny is about the same as one yuan in later generations, for sixty-six pennies, going to a cafeteria is about the same price.
But there is one thing. Modern people are not short of food and clothing, and have a lot of oil and water. They are bored with the big fish and meat that they eat casually, and prefer to eat seafood and some light dishes.
How expensive modern seafood is, that’s it, I haven’t heard of a few cafeterias losing money, they took the down-to-earth route, made a lot of money, and opened chain stores crazily.
If the shop is in the residence of ordinary people, Li Haitang needs to consider it, but here, she has no scruples.
Kyoto is not far from the sea, and there is a wharf for shipping seafood in the suburbs of Beijing. The oysters, scallops, clams, and conch that the common people don't like are almost all the price of cabbage.
Garlic oysters, scallop vermicelli, spicy fried clams, steamed conch, all hard dishes.
There are many types of fish, shrimp and crab in the sea, as well as jellyfish and sea cabbage. Just these alone can fill a dining table.
As for pork, chicken, duck, and mutton, Li Haitang also had his own plans.
First of all, the mutton is cut into small cubes, skewered into kebabs with skewers, and grilled in a ventilated place. The supply is limited at a limited time every day.
There is no limit, if people eat with an open stomach, there is no guarantee that they will really lose money.
Prepare more chicken, which can be divided according to chicken wings, chicken legs, etc. Especially the chicken wishbone, wrapped in a little flour and deep-fried, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, crispy and crispy, with a layer of sauce, it is not afraid that these scholars will not like it.
French fries, pizza, sausage, and garlic slices, although they are under the banner of unlimited quantities, they must be cooked fresh after eating, and it is impossible to serve them immediately, and the meal time is only one hour, which is enough to do a lot of hands and feet in the middle.
It is the season when melons and fruits are ripe. There are many fruit trees in the countryside of Kyoto, such as peaches, plums, apricots, as well as watermelons, apples, and various fruit platters, or made into cans, which are not greasy or greasy.
"Madam, can we match the cost?"
It sounds very tall, Li Kuanglegs thought about it, if according to what the wife said, the dishes need to be divided into sections, and at least dozens of things must be prepared, then hiring someone to do the work is a lot of work a day. Someone will come.
"A little bit makes a lot."
Li Haitang only has a theoretical basis, so the shop is still in the trial operation stage, as long as the income and expenditure can be kept at an equal level.
As for the back kitchen, at least a few people should be invited to work together.
Responsible for seafood, fruits and vegetables, including fruit slicing, fruit canning, vegetable platters, etc., as well as special responsible for cooking, steaming, smoked sauce and cakes, each complete their own work.
In case someone is lazy, there is a lack of food in front, and everyone pushes and pushes, no one does the work.
In the shop, there are also waiters, both male and female, and the female waiters will serve in the private room. If there are female relatives coming and it is not convenient to go out to pick up food, the female waiters will be responsible for introductions, and then help run errands.
"The cowhide has been blown out, and it will take half a month to get it all done. It can't be delayed."
Li Haitang skipped over Li Short Legs, went directly to Craftsman Wang, and explained to the blueprints that the shop was not short of money. It would be best to complete the renovation of the shop within 12 days, and then leave two days for her to decorate the shop.
Dining table, tables, chairs and benches, money is easy to do, this can be customized by someone, just wait for the delivery.
"I'll ask Mrs. Jing about recruiting people, and I'll leave the rest of the trivial matters to you."
Uncle Chen's road is narrow, and he is not as flexible as Li Kuangleg, so Li Haitang is responsible for explaining the matter, and let him decide on the money, and if it is not enough, he will ask Bai Guo to support it.
"It seems that it's true."
The scholar watched from the same place and did not leave. He began to think that the other party was talking casually, but unexpectedly, the opening would be opened in half a month.
"You think I'm teasing you?"
Li Haitang was speechless, she was sweating profusely, and next, she needed a master with good cooking skills, and Mrs. Wang was busy working inside and outside, and she was very tired.
"For example, if it's raining and cloudy, you are in the academy and don't want to go down the mountain, so you can still eat hot meals."
Li Haitang said that every day at noon, his family would send staff to the mountain gate, and if they wanted to order food, they would deliver it to the door.
Similar to modern takeout, recruiting riders. She originally planned to do this, but after thinking about it, it won't work.
You can only find food delivery from poor people, and the riders are not fixed, and you are paid by the piece. It is very likely to steal food on the road, which will affect your own image.
It's not that she has a villainous heart, but that there are too many examples of this kind. The poor have a hard life, and there is no oil in their stomachs. When they see delicious food, will they be able to bear it?
If it's a guy in the shop, it will be better if there is a restraint.
After separating from Mrs. Jing, Li Haitang found another reason to go to Qingshui Village. She bought some dried fruit and candied fruit, and brought various rulers, and went straight to Qingshui Village.
"Wu Fu, is there any linoleum in the car?"
Sitting in the carriage, Li Haitang felt that the light was getting darker and darker. She raised the window screen and looked out.
It was a sunny day just now, but at this moment, the dark clouds in the distance are rolling in, and the wet wind is blowing, indicating that a heavy rain is coming.
Although Uncle Chen's leg was healed, it was still so painful that he couldn't walk due to the cold and cloudy weather.
"Yes, there are a few spare sets of dresses under the stool."
Wu Fu squatted down and opened the small door under the stool on his side. The upper part was covered with partitions. The upper layer was used to hold the clothes and skirts, and the lower layer was the purse, handkerchief, and menstrual belt, Mrs. Tang, Under the door on the other side, there are two pairs of embroidered shoes.
This was reminded by Nanny Fang who was beside Fang Shaoyao. When going out as a guest, one should not only bring clothes and skirts, but also shoes and socks.
In case of a rainy day, the feet are contaminated with water and are prone to cold, so the shoes must be replaced as soon as possible.
In the past in the border towns, people didn’t pay much attention to going out, and it didn’t matter if they got caught in the rain once in a while, but it was different in Kyoto. After being rude, they would be despised by others.
"Take out the linoleum. It's going to rain in a while. Let's use it for Uncle Chen first. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain." Li Haitang said, and opened the oiled paper bag, which contained roasted chicken legs. She planned to take advantage of the rain before the rain came. Let a group of people eat something to cushion their stomachs.
