Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Do hot pot restaurants make money?

Also make money.

But according to him, it was hard-earned money.

In this era, everyone who eats hotpot seriously knows the price of the dishes. If the dishes are sold at a reasonable price, people will go. If the dishes are sold at a high price, no one will go. The ingredients and base of the hotpot must be carefully considered. After a month of hard work, excluding labor and water and electricity, you can make money. You can make money, but it is a bit hard and tiring.

But look at Sha Zhu's restaurant. Ever since he added "Tan's Cuisine" to the menu, the profits he has made have been more than ten times the original costs.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Shazhu has the skills.

That dish requires so many steps and is very troublesome.

Yan Jiecheng had thought about finding a cook, but after thinking about it, he still had the same question: what if the cook ran away?

What he envied most was.

Sha Zhu knows many more people than he does, and their quality is much higher.

"What do you mean by my territory? Speak nicely." Sha Zhu glared at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Come on, come on, Lao Cao from our courtyard has already arranged a place for us. Just go over there. We are all family here. It will be comfortable to eat there."

In fact, there are not many people left in the entire courtyard.

Basically, they are the first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, the Shazhu family, and the Cao family in the backyard.

Shazhu was a man who bought quite a few houses in the Central Courtyard. His eldest son had one, and his second son also had one. As for the houses outside, he listened to Cao Wei and bought some as well. Even if he stopped working there, the rent would be enough to support his life.

Yan Jiecheng also bought three houses in the front yard for the family of the third uncle. This was purely because he was afraid of being crowded when he was a child. As soon as he had money, he bought a house. Now, his son has one room, he and Yu Li have one room, and the third uncle and aunt have one room. If Yan Jiecheng and his family come back, there is still a room for temporary accommodation.

The uncle only had Yi Yi and his wife, so they didn't need that much. But later, when Yi Yi's wife had a baby, he went to find Sha Zhu, thinking of buying a house in this courtyard. Sha Zhu didn't say anything, and went straight to the point. The next day, he followed him to the street office to handle the transfer. The main character is a righteous man.

I won’t talk about the second uncle’s family.

The Qin family has the largest number of people.

Qin Huairu and her family, Xiaodang also lived in the yard, but he rarely came back. Xiaohuaihua was always in the yard. Banggeng and Bai Xiaoxiao were also there. There were two tables in this yard.

"There are so many people here." Yi Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, there are quite a few people coming." Xiao Dang's big eyes rolled around, and she said "tsk tsk tsk" and bumped her man with her shoulder; "Look at his background."

The man looked up and glanced around, then nodded: "It's really amazing."

Xiao Dang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you go up and have a chat?"

"What's there to talk about? Just come over to attend a wedding banquet and eat and drink well."

"You just don't know how to make progress."

"Do your job well and work hard, then you can make progress." The man was firm in his stance and was not influenced by his wife at all.

"You!" Xiaodang was angry.

"Come on, don't be angry, drink some tea, the tea here is delicious."

Xiao Dang: ...

Xiao Dang also lost his temper. This guy at home never made any mistakes in principle. The most important thing is that every time I lose my temper with him, he talks to me like an old monk in meditation. He talks slowly, without rushing or getting angry. He can't get angry...

She glanced at Xiao Huaihua. At that moment, she was sharing tea with her husband happily. She poured a cup for her husband, and then poured a cup for her son and daughter, and enthusiastically urged them to drink.

Suddenly, Xiaodang seemed to have returned to many years ago, when Shazhu, who lived in the yard, got married. It was very lively at that time, and she and Huaihua stood obediently by the kitchen, waiting for the chef to feed them. Life was so good back then...

She suddenly laughed.

"Hey, that's right. Why are you in such a hurry? More haste makes waste. Come on, have some tea."

Xiao Dang took the tea and took a sip. It tasted sweet. This was different from the tea she drank at Cao Wei's house. She quite liked it.

"Mom, what kind of tea is this?" Xiaodang turned and asked Qin Huairu.

"Huh?" Qin Huairu laughed: "The sun is rising from the west. It turns out that Huaihua didn't ask me this question."

"Mom~" Xiaodang's face turned slightly red.

"Jasmine tea, not the bitter tea in your dad's office that you don't like. If you like it, I'll ask your uncle Wei to bring you two packs later."

"Mom, buy it." The little man who had been silent all this time spoke.

Qin Huairu chuckled. "I bought it. Don't worry. All these are recorded. You may not know that there is a small supermarket in the logistics department of Samadhi Building, which is specially used by internal employees. If employees think that there is something delicious or tasty in Samadhi Building, they can buy it with their own money. It is cheaper than outside and more authentic."

"Is it expensive?"

“It’s a little more expensive than the jasmine tea sold outside.”

"Ah?" Xiaodang was stunned for a moment.

"What are you thinking? Your father is still taking advantage of this. These teas are all made from the finest jasmine flowers. Most of the teas sold outside are of inferior quality. They are specially brought back from the place of origin. The price will naturally be higher, and the production techniques are also more sophisticated. In terms of price, it is probably three levels higher than the original price. There are purchase restrictions in the internal supermarket of Samadhi Building."

"The purpose is to prevent someone from reselling it."

"That's a really good benefit." Xiao Dang was a little envious.

"You don't know?"

"You know?" Xiaodang looked at Huaihua.

"I know. I've been drinking it all the time. The instant noodles at home are all from Samadhi Lou. I set aside some money every month and ask my dad to buy them for me. Hehehe." Huaihua was very happy.

"Auntie, that thing is delicious." Huaihua's little daughter, Xiaoxiao Huaihua, said in a baby voice.

"Okay, everyone knows it, except me."

"Who can you blame? You're the only one who keeps thinking about your crappy job all day long." Qin Huairu tapped her forehead with her finger: "I don't know where you get so much ambition from. It's good enough to just do it."

"It's started, it's started..." Xiaodang quickly changed the subject.

The wedding banquet was quite grand.

It was so grand that Qin Tian and the Qin family were shocked.

The relatives of the Qin family originally thought that it was not a big deal. The Cao family was rich, but they were somewhat lacking. Until today, when they saw this scene, they dared not even show their faces. But Qin's father and mother, who had known about the background of the Cao family for a long time, were not so surprised. It was just a wedding banquet, so they did what they should do and did not talk about other things.
