Chapter 774 Cooperation
A duck was completely destroyed amidst everyone's comments.
Zhang Yiren wiped his hands with a handkerchief and laughed, "I filled my stomach without realizing it."
"I can't wait for you to finish it. The more you do it, it proves that Xiaosi's craftsmanship is not bad."
Baiyun Xi curled up the corners of his lips and gave several people more hawthorn sugar water to relieve their tiredness.
"In addition to duck meat, the remaining duck racks can also be used to stew soup with some astragalus and wolfberry, which is good for health."
Several people sat down again, Xiao Si rubbed his hands and looked at them eagerly.
"Aunt Zhang, Brother Gan, Sister Yishan, what do you think?"
Before anyone else could speak, Zhang Yishan pointed to the empty plate with tea in her hand, "Of course, you can tell whether it tastes good or not just by looking at this plate."
"Of course."
Xiaosi looked at the empty plate and smiled, "As long as it tastes good, I want to open a roast duck shop. In your opinion, how much is a good price for one?"
Zhang Yishan's eyes lit up when she mentioned opening a shop. Before she could speak, she was glared at by Zhang Yiren, and the little girl immediately sat down properly.
Xie Yu looked at Xiaosi, thinking about the roast duck just now, and pondered for a moment, "There is no roast duck here in the county, but there is one in Fucheng. I have also tried it. The taste is worse than that of the fourth brother. One costs five guan. Even so, demand exceeds supply.”
Xiao Si's eyes widened when he heard the price. Five... five strings, so expensive?
Zhang Yiren accepts this price, "Things are rare and expensive, and if they are rare, the price will never be cheap. Especially among the rich and powerful, it is common for them to pay a few bucks for a meal."
Bai Yunxi nodded. This person has seen a lot of things in the world. What she said can be used as reference material.
Not to mention the rich and powerful at this time, even in the era she lived in, things were still at a premium, and you had to make a reservation for any private dishes you wanted to eat.
"The price is five guan in Fucheng, where there are many wealthy merchants and powerful people. But we are a county town after all, and there are only a limited number of wealthy people. The price is too high and it may not be easy to sell."
Zhang Yishan put down her tea cup and spoke softly.
"That's right. In our county, we can lower the level appropriately."
Xie Yu listened to the tone of several people and knocked the folding fan in his hand, "If fourth brother opens his own shop, the price will indeed be lower than in Fucheng. If he cooperates with others and has a reputation as a restaurant, the price does not need to be considered."
Speaking of this, Xie Yu looked at Xiao Si and Bai Yunxi,
"Fourth brother, have you ever thought about cooperating with others?"
"Ah? I didn't think so. What if we cooperate?" Xiaosi looked at Xie Yu with sincere eyes.
"Just find a well-known restaurant, because they have regular customers. Once they come out with new dishes, the old customers will come to support you. With a fixed customer base, you don't need to attract customers or worry about management. You only need to prepare the roast duck. That’s fine, we’ll take care of the rest of the restaurant.”
"As for the price, you set a reasonable price, and then the restaurant will increase a part of your price as the restaurant's income, which can also be regarded as the restaurant's commission. To put it simply, you provide the dishes and the restaurant provides the venue."
"Oh I got it."
Listening to Xie Yu's analysis, Xiao Si nodded and subconsciously looked at Baiyun Xi with questioning eyes.
After receiving Xiaosi's eyes, Bai Yunxi looked at him with a smile and said nothing. This kid must be smart. He should know how to choose. Even if he makes a mistake, it is still a growth for him. There are no outsiders here anyway. It’s a good time to train people.
Seeing his mother smiling but not speaking, Xiao Si also understood that her mother was training him and couldn't help but lower his head in thought.
Speaking of which, he doesn't have a bad eye. Although he has been doing small business in the past few years, he has been doing business with Shunzi for almost two years, so he still has a little experience.
"Brother Gan, I have been raising ducks hard just to make money so that my family can live a good life. It is said that things are expensive, so originally I wanted to find a shop to do it by myself. But what Brother Gan said is that cooperation with others is also the way to go. ”
As Xiaosi said this, he received the encouraging look from his mother, and his confidence immediately increased.
"I have raised ducks since I was a child. There is absolutely no problem with the quality. I also want to do a long-term business. If I cooperate with others, I will only be responsible for the production, which can indeed save a lot of trouble. Of course, when doing business together, the other party must make a profit. , the price can be reduced appropriately.”
"After taking into account the cost of raising ducks and the secret recipe for making roast duck, I am going to price three yuan a piece. Let's see if the other party can accept it?"
"Deal." Xie Yu closed the fan with a snap and spoke directly,
Xiao Si was immediately dumbfounded, "Brother Gan, what do you mean?"
"Pfft~, silly boy, what else can you mean? It must be your godbrother who wants to partner with you." Zhang Yiren covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed out loud.
Bai Yunxi looked at Xie Yu's smiling expression and shook her head helplessly.
"I know you want to help him, but you still have to focus on studying now. Besides, there is a long road ahead, and he has to go on his own. You can't help him for a while."
"What my godmother said is wrong. Who said I was helping my fourth brother? Our cooperation is a win-win situation. I happen to have a restaurant in my hands. It has not launched fresh dishes for a long time. I was dozing off when I met the person who gave me a pillow. How could I miss it? "
Xie Yu unfolded his fan, shook it a few times, looked at the charcoal basin in the room, and put it away again.
"The restaurant has a dedicated person to take care of it, and I don't have to do it myself, so it won't delay my studies. Moreover, the fourth brother has established a duck farm, and I am afraid there will be endless new products in the future. Since I have first-hand information, how can I abandon it?"
He helped, but he did make some money. Cooperation should be win-win. If there is no profit, it is better to help Xiao Si open a shop.
Although he is a son of an official, because of his mother, he has been managing the business left by his mother since he was twelve years old. He still has some vision. He believes that Xiao Si will go further in the future and invent more and more dishes.
Hearing Xie Yu's voice, Bai Yunxi was silent. This man is really smart.
In this way, the two of them worked together. Xie Yu was also a man of swift and decisive character. He called the restaurant owner that day.
"This is the shopkeeper Jiao of Nanshan Restaurant, who is also the old man left by my mother. I have already told him the details. If you have any questions, talk to shopkeeper Jiao directly. I hope our roast duck will be a hit."
Shopkeeper Jiao looked at Xiao Si and Bai Yunxi and bowed. "I am Jiao Lu, the deer in the sika deer. Meet Mrs. Bai, Mr. Silang. Don't laugh at me. My mother said she dreamed of a deer when she gave birth to me. She said that this name would bring me good luck."
"Since we are doing business together, we don't need to be so formal. Uncle Jiao can just call me Anyi."
Xiao Si is also an easy-going person. Compared with the others in the family, Xiao Si has the highest emotional intelligence.
