Chapter 230 When Did You Learn to Be a Chef?

The most painful thing about running a restaurant is that there is no business.

What is more painful than this is that there are business coming to the door, and someone comes to give you money, but you can't accept the money.

In just 20 minutes, Wang Weidong and Wang Yanli sent away 39 customers who came in.

According to the minimum standard of 10 yuan per person, it is 390 yuan, nearly 400 yuan.

The cost of 400 yuan, the gross profit is about 280, and the net profit is about 150.

150 yuan for 20 minutes, about 450 per hour.

It is just around 11 o'clock now, and the peak dining time at noon is counted as 3 hours.

The profit at noon alone is nearly 1,400 yuan.

Add breakfast and dinner...

According to conservative estimates, the daily profit of such a restaurant is about 3,000 yuan.

The monthly income is about 100,000, and the annual income is over one million!

It is hard to imagine that a small restaurant opened in the countryside can make 1 million a year.

But... this was said by Luo Shuning, so Wang Weidong and his wife believed it 100%.

Of course, Luo Shuning's data was also real data from Shui Miaomiao, without any exaggeration.

According to the current business situation, Sister Yu's Dumpling Restaurant can really make 1 million yuan a year.

Otherwise, it would not have attracted the covetousness of Zhao Zhong's gang.

To be honest, Wang Weidong and Wang Yanli have to thank Zhao Zhong and his gang.

Without Zhao Zhong and his gang's trouble, the special task of [Shade of Guangsha] would not be triggered.

Without the [Delicious Restaurant] rewarded by that task, Luo Shuning would not have won over Yu Haiyan at this moment.

There would be no Wang Weidong and Wang Yanli in Sister Yu's Dumpling Restaurant.

Of course, since Yu Haiyan was willing to give up such a dumpling shop that made a million yuan a year to join the scenic spot, Luo Shuning would naturally not treat her unfairly and offered her a monthly salary of 80,000 yuan.

In the Heilongshan Scenic Area, apart from Shui Miaomiao who earns 80,000 yuan a month, the salary of Haiyan, the restaurant manager, is the highest.

At this moment, the mother and daughter’s monthly salary adds up to nearly 170,000 yuan.

The mother and daughter never dreamed that they could earn so much in a month.

More than two months ago, Shui Miaomiao’s family of three lived on her 1,500 yuan salary.

Her mother had to see a doctor and take medicine, and her brother had to go to school, so they lived a tight life.

There are no poor families in the whole Luojiazhuang as difficult as them.

In just a few months, Shui Miaomiao’s family’s income has increased by more than 100 times, and they have instantly reversed from the most difficult poor family in Luojiazhuang to the richest person in Luojiazhuang.

Reality is so magical.

“Xunning, are many of the customers who just left old customers?”

After sending a taxi driver away, Wang Weidong frowned slightly and looked at Luo Xunning.

Among the 39 customers who just entered the door, more than half recognized Luo Xuning and greeted him.

In other words, more than half of them were old customers of this restaurant.

Wang Weidong is now a little worried that if he and Wang Yanli take over this dumpling shop, will the old customers still sell their accounts.

Luo Xuning nodded and said: "Those who greeted me are villagers from the surrounding villages, or family members of our scenic spot employees, all of whom are old customers."

With the series of measures launched by the scenic spot to stimulate consumption, the work indicators of the scenic spot are increasing, and the number of employees in the scenic spot is also increasing.

This is also the main reason why the scenic spot has to find another way to set up a manual department to settle employees.

At present, the employees of various departments in the Heilongshan Scenic Spot add up to almost 100 people, reaching a historical high.

Sister Yu Dumpling Restaurant is opened by the family of the deputy general manager of the scenic spot. Whether it is out of flattery or some other psychology, the employees often bring their families to the dumpling restaurant to eat dumplings.

Taking care of the vice president's business may not necessarily bring any benefits, but there is no harm!

Of course, the most important reason is that the dumplings at Yu Dajie Dumpling Restaurant are delicious and cheap.

Wang Yanli frowned slightly and said, "After Weidong and I take over the dumpling restaurant, if the taste is too different from before, I guess we will lose a lot of old customers..."

What Wang Yanli is worried about is also what Wang Weidong is worried about.

The techniques of one person are different from another, and the taste of the dumpling fillings they make is definitely different.

It's okay for new customers, and they can basically connect seamlessly.

Old customers are used to the old taste, and it's probably hard for them to accept it if the taste is suddenly different from before, unless your taste is better than the previous one.

Luo Xuning suggested: "How about I transfer two old employees from this store to you for transition?"

Wang Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard Luo Xuning's suggestion: "That's the best! Xuning, you, how can I thank you for this!"

Wang Yanli smiled and said: "Xunning, you are really thoughtful! Our Weidong really doesn't know how many good things he did in his previous life to be able to be your buddy in this life."

"You two are almost done, it's not a big deal." Luo Xuning smiled and waved his hand. In his opinion, this is really not a big deal.

Wang Yanli smiled happily and said: "The tables, chairs and benches are all ready, and the things in the back kitchen are also available. With the two helpers sent by Xuning, our store can open tomorrow."

Wang Weidong nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too. One day later means one day less money."

Luo Shuning said: "What do you plan to call your store? I'll take care of the front door, so don't refuse me."

"Well... we discussed calling it Lidong Restaurant before. Since we have decided to focus on fast food and dumplings in the future, let's continue the previous naming style of this store and call it Lidong Dumpling Restaurant?" Wang Weidong said, turned his head and looked at Wang Yanli beside him, asking for her opinion.

Before, the decoration material store they operated was called "Lidong Decoration Materials". Obviously, "Li" is Wang Yanli's Li and "Dong" is Wang Weidong's Dong.

Wang Yanli smiled and nodded and said: "I'll listen to you, then call it Lidong Dumpling Restaurant!"

Luo Shuning said: "Then it's settled. I'll call you to customize the front door and try to change it tomorrow morning."

"Well, it's settled. Thanks, Shuning." Thinking that he will soon own a restaurant with an annual income of nearly one million, Wang Weidong's face is almost smiling.

Wang Yanli asked, "By the way, Luo Shuning, how much do you think is appropriate for the two helpers?"

Having just taken over the restaurant, it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble to have old employees to help through the transition period, and it was Luo Shuning who helped find them.

So, the salary must not be too low, otherwise Luo Shuning would lose face.

Wang Yanli was unsure about how much to give, so she passed this difficult question to Luo Shuning, even if Luo Shuning said to pay 10,000 per month, she would accept it.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about the salary."

Luo Xuning looked at Wang Yanli and explained with a smile: "The old employees of this store have become employees of our scenic spot. We will pay them wages and support you for one or two months. It would be too polite to talk about money."

Wang Weidong hurriedly said: "That won't work. It's such a good and prosperous shop. You have already taken a huge advantage by not asking for the transfer fee. You must not pay for the wages of the employees who come to help."

Wang Yanli also said: "Yes, Xuning, we feel too guilty about this."

Gu Zhai

"Then... let's do this." Luo Xuning suggested, "We should pay the wages as we should. You should give the two old employees who come to help a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month."

If you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse well. If you get an extra subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month, the employees who come to help will be more dedicated.

"This..."

"Stop talking about this and that, it's settled."

Luo Shuning waved his hand, looking unquestionable.

"Okay then!"

Seeing Luo Shuning's firm attitude, Wang Weidong and Wang Yanli didn't say anything more.

"By the way, I heard from Brother Wang that you two are going to have a baby?"

After talking about business, Luo Shuning changed the subject and talked about the issue of having children.

"My brother is the same, why do you say everything..."

Wang Yanli blushed after hearing what Luo Shuning said.

After all, women are thin-skinned when it comes to having children.

Wang Weidong coughed awkwardly and said, "Ahem, yes, it's a bit late for us to not have a baby at this age."

Wang Weidong and Luo Shuning are the same age, just 24 this year, but Wang Liyan is already 29 this year, and will soon be 30.

Women are considered older mothers at 30, and the risks during pregnancy will be much higher than those at the right age.

Luo Shuning nodded and said, "The Niangniang Temple in our scenic area is very powerful. You two can go and have a look when you are free."

"Really? Then we will go and have a look when we have time."

Wang Weidong also knew that Luo Shuning was kind-hearted and felt the care from his friend.

"Boss, give us 60 dumplings and 10 cold dishes. Do you have any thirst-quenching drinks here? Give us some drinks."

As soon as Wang Weidong finished speaking, more than 20 tourists wearing full sets of assault jackets and carrying mountaineering bags rushed in.

The tall and strong man in the lead ordered a lot of things as soon as he entered the door, and introduced them to a group of companions:

"I told you that you still don't believe it. Today you can try the dumplings in this store yourself. After tasting it, you will know whether what I said is true or not."

Wang Weidong looked at the large group of people entering the door and silently calculated in his heart.

60 servings of dumplings cost 600 yuan, 10 servings of cold dishes cost 100 yuan, and all together they cost 700 yuan.

When Wang Weidong thought about missing out on another 700 yuan, he felt a little distressed and wanted to open the business right away.

Wang Liyan forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, everyone... we..."

Luo Xuning suddenly said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. You want a lot of dumplings, so we have to make them now. You may have to wait a little longer."

The leading man laughed heartily, "It's okay, little boss. As long as your dumplings taste good, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. Good food is never too late!"

A middle-aged woman wearing a navy blue fisherman's hat smiled and said, "We drove all the way here because of Da Wei's words. Boss, don't let us down!"

"Yes, Da Wei said that the dumplings you make here are the best dumplings he has ever eaten, so we came here to try them."

"Huh? There are a few people in your store today?" The tall man, who was called Da Wei by everyone, looked around the store and said in confusion, "I remember that it was crowded when I came here last time. I even shared a table with three friends I didn't know."

Da Wei's name is Wei Lai. He lives in Shimen City and is a senior traveler.

Last time he visited the Heilongshan Scenic Area, he was deeply impressed by the Bixia Yuanjun Temple, Yujingxuan, and the wishing pool in the scenic area.

He was also deeply impressed by the dumpling restaurant in the commercial area, which was extremely popular, affordable, and tasted great.

Wang Liyan said what she meant, "To be honest, we just took over this store today, and you are our first batch of customers."

"What? Changed the owner?" Wei Lai was dumbfounded when he heard Wang Yanli's words.

He didn't understand why such a good restaurant was willing to be transferred to others!

If it was him, he would not transfer it even if he was given tens of millions.

"Why is it so unlucky! Isn't it a wasted trip!"

"Forget it, Dawei, just eat whatever you want, and go to the scenic area to see the wishing pool that Dawei mentioned later."

"..."

When a group of people heard that the dumpling shop had changed its owner, they no longer had any expectations.

They came all the way here just for the reputation of the dumpling restaurant.

Now that the dumpling restaurant has changed hands, the dumplings must taste different from before.

"Then... give us 20 servings of pork and green onion stuffing first."

When Wei Lai heard that the restaurant had changed its owner, the number of orders dropped from 60 to 20.

"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment. Sister-in-law, you can greet everyone. Weidong and I will go to the back to make dumplings."

Luo Shuning told Wang Yanli and turned to take Wang Weidong into the back kitchen.

Because it was clear that the store would be transferred to Wang Weidong before, Luo Shuning did not ask anyone to empty the back kitchen and kept everything.

The back kitchen was fully equipped with refrigerators, freezers, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, flour and everything else.

Even the gas tank was full.

"Weidong, wash the pot and boil water first, then help me peel the green onions, and I'll chop the meat first."

After Luo Shuning came in, he told Wang Weidong a few words, opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of lean meat from it and thawed it by the sink.

"Shunning, you...you want to do it yourself?"

Wang Weidong was dumbfounded when he heard Luo Shuning's words.

He thought Luo Shuning came to the kitchen to call the old employees to ask for help.

Never expected that he would do it himself!

"Yes, I'll help you with this meal today."

As Luo Shuning said, he walked to the chopping board with the meat.

Chop, chop, chop--!

Looking at Luo Shuning's extremely skilled, even superb knife skills, Wang Weidong was dumbfounded.

"Shunning, you, when did you learn to be a chef?"

After being friends for more than ten years, Wang Weidong just found out that Luo Shuning could actually make dumplings.

Luo Xuning said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you studied as a chef, just help me peel the onions first."

"Okay, okay!" Wang Weidong agreed, turned around and took out a bunch of green onions from under the table and started peeling them.
