Chapter 9: Rent a Storefront
"Wenxiu, according to Xiaoyu, our funds are no problem. Is this monopoly of snails possible?"
"Aren't you excited, you asked me."
"The main reason is that I don't have a clue. It seems feasible, but what if I lose?"
"If you lose, you will lose. The investment is only about 10,000 yuan at most. We can still afford it."
"Too."
Chen Simian couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect this guy Xiaoyu to give us a good idea."
"It doesn't matter who was born."
"Yes, yes, you were born. However, Wenxiu, do you think Xiaoyu is not the same as before?"
"It's not the same, what's not the same, is it the same?"
"I can't tell, I just feel that Xiaoyu is more thoughtful and mature."
"That's not good, walk around, I'll buy a few catties of snails in a while."
"Ah, why do you buy snails?"
"What else can I do? Don't you want to sell snails? I'll come up with a few tricks."
Zhang Wenxiu is in a hurry, and she doesn't even wash the dishes at this moment, so she plans to buy a few catties of snails home.
...
"So cool."
When he woke up, Chen Yu stretched.
I haven't slept well in the Internet cafe these days. I'm lying down at home now, but I slept directly into the night.
"Hey, what's the smell? It's delicious."
A burst of fragrance wafted, and Chen Yu walked out of the door.
Seeing that my mother put a few plates of snails on the table, Chen Yu couldn't help but grab one.
Suck.
Chen Yu is a master at eating snails, he doesn't need toothpicks at all, just sucking it, the meat in the snails will be sucked out.
"You kid, you don't know how to use gloves, so you grabbed it with your hands, and quickly put on your gloves."
"Okay."
Chen Yu put on the gloves and ate several more in a row.
"How about it, it's delicious."
"Delicious, simply delicious."
"A bowl can be sold for 3 yuan."
"It's more than 3 yuan, Mom, I think anyone can buy it for 5 yuan."
"You just blow you."
Even so, Zhang Wenxiu smiled happily.
"Hey, mom, why are there so many bowls of snails."
"This one seems to taste different."
"I'll try it again."
After eating one in a bowl, Chen Yu understood: "Mom, you are making a variety of flavored snails."
"I thought you couldn't eat it."
"Mom, this one seems to have minced garlic flavor, this one is thirteen incense, wow, there's also spicy flavor..."
"Mom, you are talented."
In one breath, Zhang Wenxiu made 5 flavors of snails.
"You still have it in your mouth, and you tasted it all."
"Hey, I'm a famous foodie, how could I not be able to eat it. Mom, hurry up and open the store now."
"Side aside, you think it's so easy to open a store. Not only do you need to contact the raw materials, but you also have to find a suitable storefront."
"The raw materials are simple, and now there are wholesale snails, which are easy to buy. Moreover, the production of fried snails is relatively simple, and large-scale kitchen equipment is not required. At that time, we can fry dozens of kilograms at once, which is easier than opening an ordinary restaurant. As for the storefront, it's easy to find, Mom, I think the location next to Guoguang Supermarket is good."
"On the edge of Guoguang, that is the center of the county. The rent there is very expensive and cannot be rented."
"Mom, how do you know you can't afford it if you don't go and see? Let's go, I'll show you around, maybe you'll get it."
"The eight characters haven't been written yet, so what are you in a hurry to do?"
"Early rent and late rent have to be rented. It's better to have a look first. If there is a suitable store, it will be troublesome if someone else rents it out."
"this,
I ask your dad. "
Although it was a bit fast, the two of them were also excited. Taking advantage of the time in the evening, the three of them were ready to go around to see if there was a suitable store.
It's just a pity that after turning around, there are stores, but the rents are very expensive.
"Xiaoyu, I think we should go to Tongyi Market. The rent here is too expensive."
Zhang Wenxiu was too frightened to ask when looking at the rents that were almost thousands of dollars.
"Mom, Tongyi Market is just a vegetable market. There are only people there in the morning and few people in the evening. And the spending power there is not enough. Even if the rent there is cheap, we can't rent it."
"But the rent here is too expensive."
"Expensive has expensive value. Hey, isn't there a room for rent there?"
Pointing to the front, Chen Yu said.
"Look at it."
The three stepped forward, but Zhang Wenxiu said, "No, it's too small, it seems to be only ten squares."
"It's really too small. If you put a few tables in such a small place, it's probably full, and you can't do business."
Chen Simian also said.
It's just that Chen Yu looked at this store very seriously, and then said, "Mom, I think this one is okay."
"Can?"
Zhang Wenxiu shook his head: "How can you do business at such a young age?"
"Mom, don't look at him as small, but he's in a good position."
Chen Yu analyzed Zhang Wenxiu: "Look here, it is close to Guoguang Shopping Center, and the flow of people is very large."
"This is number one, number two, this street sells Mala Tang, some stinky tofu, some milk tea, some Liangpi, and many others sell snacks on the beach, this is a typical snack street , we set up shop here, so we don't have to worry about no customers coming."
"But this store is still too small."
Zhang Wenxiu, who Chen Yu said, also agreed that the location here is really good.
In addition, it is a snack street, which is very popular.
But no matter what, a small shop is a small shop, and what business can a small shop do.
"Small, not small. Mom, you see that this store is small, but have you noticed that this store has a bay of 5 meters, while other stores are only 3 meters at most. The bigger the bay, the easier it will be noticed. Also Yes, although this store is only about three meters deep, the entrance of this store is an empty concrete floor. Mom, think about it, if at night, we can put the table on the concrete space. "
Having said that, Zhang Wenxiu and Chen Simian both looked at the store seriously.
As Chen Yu said, this store is small, but the concrete space in front of him is huge.
Now it's no different than later generations. You will be fined if you set the beach at will, but now it's more lenient. Not to mention that they have their own store to set the table, even a large number of people who do not rent a store here can set up a beach wherever they want.
If the cement vacant land in front is utilized, then this business is definitely worth doing.
"Wenxiu, I took a look. This concrete space is so big that we can set up several tables. In addition, I like to eat snacks like snails outside. I don't feel that way when I eat in the store."
Chen Simian inserted a sentence.
"That's right, now whoever likes to go to the store to eat supper, they like to put it outside, while eating snails, while watching the stars, the moon, and the beauties... Uh, no, Dad is right, it's outside anyway. It feels good to eat."
"Xiaoyu, you are a high school student now, so you can't think wildly."
Zhang Wenxiu gave Chen Yu a lesson.
"I know, I know, I just said it casually. Besides, Mom, there is the most important point. Because this store is small, his rent will definitely not be too expensive."
"Okay, I'll ask. Lao Chen, hurry up and call the landlord."
It's 2001, and cell phones aren't as common as the afterlife.
Even at home, only Chen Simian has a Nokia blue-screen mobile phone.
It is said that it is a blue screen mobile phone, but it is actually a black and white mobile phone, without a color screen.
Of course, even if it is a blue screen mobile phone, the average family may not have it.
"Looks like I'll have to get my smartphone out at some point."
Thinking of the smartphones of later generations, Chen Yu felt a little itchy.
