Chapter 270 Li Jingyan
Chapter 270 Li Jingyan
Li Jingyan stood in front of the window, watching the movements on the opposite side.
The shopkeeper went upstairs with a few assistants.
"Miss, this is what we bought from across the street."
Li Jingyan turned around and looked at the food they brought back.
"Tell me what these are."
The shopkeeper winked at his servants.
The guys took turns introducing: "This is a hamburger."
"The small one I bought is called pizza. They come in different flavors. This is the smallest one."
"The small one is called chicken wing."
"This is called oden..."
Li Jingyan took a bite of the burger with a complicated expression.
She opened the burger and saw two soft pastry slices with a piece of meat, a fried egg and some greens in between.
She tasted other foods and did not comment after eating them. Instead, she asked the shopkeeper to call the chef she had hired at a high salary.
Ten chefs lined up and entered the study.
"I'll give you two days to figure this out," Li Jingyan said coldly. "If you can't figure it out, then don't do it."
The chefs took one dish each and tasted it, and were shocked. They were all well-known chefs, and they were all a little proud, but they didn't dare to guarantee the quality.
After the chefs left, the shopkeeper continued, "Miss, it's useless to just blindly imitate them. This is only part of the deal. There's still a lot we haven't bought. The second floor is for barbecue, which you have to eat on site and can't bring out. The third floor is for soup pots. In addition to the skewers, they have several other soup ingredients. The most special is the fourth floor, which only their important members can go to. Our people can't even get there. Miss, that guy over there is really quite capable."
"Uncle Zhang, what do you want to say?"
"Miss, our silk business is doing well, why should we open a restaurant?"
"I can open whatever I want. Even if it doesn't make money, it's good to cause trouble for Xia Ruwan." Li Jingyan said coldly, "You just need to follow orders."
Across from her, Xia Ruwan listened to her subordinates' report and found Qin Huiyin who was entertaining guests.
"Yinyin, our people saw several people buying things and going across the street. They must be the guys there. Do you think that shameless guy over there will try to imitate us?"
"You've already said she's shameless, so it's normal for her to continue learning from us." Qin Huiyin said, "But it won't be so easy this time."
"We have to think of a way!" Xia Ruwan said, "We have worked so hard to build up this scale. If she destroys it again, the loss will be huge."
"There are dozens of varieties now. How many can she learn? Don't worry, even if she wants to learn, she will be a jack of all trades. It won't be that easy for her to poach customers."
Madam Xia got out of the carriage and looked at the shop in front of her with admiration in her eyes. She was usually not very smiling, but today she was in high spirits and looked much more kind and friendly.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"You guys have done such a great thing, how can I, as your mother, not support you? Today I will deposit 1,000 taels of silver and become your largest member."
Xia Ruwan said with a smile, "Then Yinyin and I won't be polite. This distinguished guest, would you like to eat first, or go up to the fourth floor first?"
"I'm not hungry yet, let's go to the fourth floor first." After Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she said to Qin Huiyin, "Huiyin, you are even better than I thought."
"Aunt Xia, you're too kind. Wan'er and I are both excellent. We will continue to improve. One day, we will grow into towering trees, as outstanding as Aunt Xia."
Madam Xia laughed: "You really have a clever tongue."
"Manager Luwu, there is a most distinguished member here. Take her to the fourth floor quickly." Qin Huiyin shouted to the opposite side.
Tang Luwu heard the noise and rushed over. When she saw Mrs. Xia, she personally took her to the fourth floor.
Mrs. Xia saw Li Taohua maintaining order on the first floor and wanted to say hello to her, but seeing that she was busy, she did not disturb her.
Since Madam Xia and Li Taohua became acquainted, they both knew each other's experiences and felt a sense of mutual appreciation and regret for not meeting each other earlier. Although she did not succeed in getting an adopted daughter, she had a close friend with whom she could confide.
Tang Yichen was helping out at the counter on the second floor.
The first floor had a lot of traffic, and he injured his right hand and could only write with his left, so he didn't stay on the first floor to help. The second floor was the barbecue area, so there wasn't that much traffic.
Tang Yixiao was in charge of guarding the third floor. There weren't many people on the third floor at the moment. After all, everyone was more interested in the first and second floors, and the soup pot area on the third floor was slightly less attractive to them.
Song Ruize, Jiang Qibin and others passed by on horseback.
"Oh my goodness, Brother Ze, could it be that our sister Weiyin is the God of Food who has descended to earth?" Jiang Qibin clicked his tongue.
Song Ruize raised the corner of his mouth: "Just treat her as she is!"
"Brother Ze, I'm going to take care of Huiyin's business, don't stop me." After Jiang Qibin said this, he jumped off the horse and ran away at an extremely fast speed.
There was a servant outside the door, who saw this and hurriedly pulled his horse.
Chen Yong scratched his head: "Brother Ze, I'm hungry too."
Song Ruize said calmly, "It's a day off today, you can make your own arrangements."
"Brother Ze, what about you?"
"Do you think I can leave?" Song Ruize said calmly, "Help me give the gift to her."
Song Ruize took out a box.
Chen Yong took the box and dismounted.
The others hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation, so they left Song Ruize and ran inside.
Qin Huiyin took the box handed to her by Chen Yong, walked to the door and looked outside, only to see Song Ruize leaving.
She opened the box and saw a pair of exquisite ruby earrings.
"So beautiful." Xia Ruwan came closer.
Qin Huiyin closed the box.
"Put it on, this color suits you perfectly." Xia Ruwan said, "Why don't I have such a good brother? I'm so envious."
"There's no use being envious. Brother won't give it to you." Qin Huiyin said proudly.
Xia Ruwan snorted coldly: "Rare."
"Yes, you really like it. I see your eyes are shining green." Qin Huiyin teased her deliberately.
"I have money, I will buy it myself."
Today, there were crowds of customers. From morning till night, they sent the last guest away only after the evening market was over.
"Okay, put up the sign, hurry up, or someone else will have to come." Xia Ruwan was so tired that she didn't even want any customers and closed the door directly.
"I don't want to do such a huge amount of calculations. Let the professional accountant do it!" Qin Huiyin said, "I just need to know the result."
Now that the store had grown larger and the number of employees had increased several times, the amount of raw materials and losses in each store was a huge sum. If she calculated it one by one, her brain would be overwhelmed. It was easier to be a hands-off manager.
"My two bosses, Madam Xia topped up her membership card with 1,000 taels of silver, plus the membership fees paid by other ladies, the total is 1,800 taels. Excluding this money, the fast food area on the first floor made a profit of 400 taels, the second floor made 220 taels, and the third floor made 100 taels." The accountant calculated the total data.
