Although Gu Xiaoyou was unreliable in weighing money, his skill in stringing money was fast and neat. In just three cups of tea, he threaded all the copper coins in the money box into coins.

Zhou's broken silver was almost weighed. Gu Xiaoyou counted the money one by one and recorded the amount in the account book.

Gu Xiaoyou was writing down the numbers one by one in the account book when he heard a low cry in his ear.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyes and looked at Zhou in confusion.

Mrs. Zhou opened her eyes and looked at the rice paper on which the money was recorded. She swallowed, leaned into Gu Xiaoyou's ear and whispered, "Our shop made this amount today."

With that said, he handed the rice paper for counting in front of Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou lowered his eyes and saw the bright thirty-six written in Arabic numerals on the rice paper.

"So much." Gu Xiaoyou was also surprised. Thirty-six taels was equivalent to more than 7,000 yuan when converted into modern coins.

Wait, there were still copper coins in her account that were not included. Gu Xiaoyou lowered his head and converted the copper coins into silver taels. The fraction was not included. When he wanted to add two taels, there were actually fifty taels.

Even after deducting the cost, subtracting the packing fee and the money for lamp oil at night, she still made a net profit of thirty taels.

If this momentum is maintained, the initial investment in repair costs and employee costs will be quickly earned back.

Thinking like this, Gu Xiaoyou used Arabic numerals to calculate the accounts for Zhou. When Zhou saw it, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes: "Then our store will be able to make back its money soon?"

"No, just keep this momentum going." Gu Xiaoyou said happily: "Then other shops can also open."

Zhou knew of Gu Xiaoyou's plan to open another restaurant, so she thought about it and said, "Then why don't we open it at noon, so that the guests at night won't be able to complain, and you have to send food to make amends."

Mrs. Zhou felt distressed when she thought of the chicken tenders she was given away. It was real meat.

If sold, it would cost twenty-five cents a piece.

Upon hearing this and the pained expression on Mrs. Zhou's face, Gu Xiaoyou instantly understood her thoughts and said with a smile: "We are still closed at noon. We will start to limit the number of guests tomorrow night and we will receive a hundred guests.

The rest just get the sign at the door, just get the sign, I won’t give anything away.”

"Don't feel bad this time." Gu Xiaoyou said teasingly.

Mrs. Zhou suddenly became anxious: "Oh, this is not good. If we always can't eat, wouldn't it be a loss of customers?"

"It's okay. There's no limit in the morning. What's more, this is called hunger marketing. The more you can't sell, the more you want to buy." Gu Xiaoyou said plausibly.

"It sounds reasonable, but what if you don't want to come back after buying it?" Zhou said worriedly.

"You are too worried. If you buy something you don't want to buy, it only means that our food is not good. If you don't think about this, why not focus on the food and make them want to eat again.

"

"What's more, our food is so good, with so many varieties and fresh styles. There is no other restaurant in the whole capital that sells the same food as ours."

"Even if there is, can it match our speed of innovating? Don't worry about whether you have something or not. Focus on the present most important thing."

Gu Xiaoyou's series of verbal bombardments left Zhou stunned. Zhou carefully reviewed Gu Xiaoyou's words and found that everything she said made sense.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't worry about it and focus on what's ahead of me." Zhou said with firm eyes, "I must carry forward all the recipes you taught me."

"That's right. Okay, everyone else has almost finished cleaning up. You sort out the account books, and I'll tell everyone everything. Let's go back to the mansion." Gu Xiaoyou encouraged, smiling.

said.

"Well, okay." Mrs. Zhou responded, taking an abacus and starting to check the accounts for the day.

Gu Xiaoyou gathered all the employees in the store for a meeting in the lobby.

"Today is the first day of opening. Everyone performed very well, especially the waiters. The guests told me that your performance was particularly good, and they applauded." Gu Xiaoyou said, taking the lead in applauding.

Other employees followed suit and applauded. At first, they didn’t understand the meaning of applause. Shouldn’t applause be used to cheer people up in the theater?

Now, those led by Gu Xiaoyou are used to receiving applause when they are praised for good deeds.

The clerks applauded rhythmically, and immediately stopped their applause when they saw Gu Xiaoyou making a gesture to silence her.

Gu Xiaoyou continued: "Of course without the delicious food from the chefs, we wouldn't be able to welcome so many guests, nor would we be able to achieve such good results and give them applause."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause burst out in the lobby.

Ms. Zhou, who was sorting out the account books at the counter, was infected by them. She put down her writing brush and clapped her hands together. When everyone's applause stopped, she picked up her pen and continued to calculate the accounts.

After the applause, Gu Xiaoyou continued to speak: "Everyone has also seen our business situation at night. There are too many people and we can't serve them. There are still many people queuing in the cold wind. The temperature at night is cold. If we let the guests

If we keep the guests queuing up at the door, I'm afraid that what I will give them instead of chicken tenders will be a pack of medicine for treating typhoid fever."

The clerks were amused by Gu Xiaoyou's humorous remarks, and they all expressed their opinions: "It's better to build a shed at the door."

"That's too much trouble. Why not open the shop next door? It's empty anyway."

"It needs to be taken care of even if it's empty. I think it's better to open it at noon."

"Yes, we open at noon, so it's not worth the hard work."

After everyone had finished speaking, Gu Xiaoyou said: "Your ideas are all good, but they all have shortcomings. It takes time to build the shed, and it must be commensurate with the street scene, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the street. I will not have other ideas."

After counting them one by one, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with everyone."

"Boss, please tell me." The employees immediately acted like they were all ears.

Gu Xiaoyou cleared his throat and said, "I plan to limit the supply to only one person."

"Limited supply..." The employees looked at Gu Xiaoyou confused, obviously not understanding the meaning of this word.

"To put it bluntly, we only receive a certain number of people at night. I calculated that it will be enough to receive a hundred people in one and a half hours." Gu Xiaoyou eloquently instilled the theory of hunger marketing into her employees.

The employees were confused at the beginning and had questions in the middle. Each one of them was convinced by Gu Xiaoyou's sharp tongue. They all later promised to develop the store well, focus on the present and watch for the future.

Gu Xiaoyou successfully taught the employees a lesson and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
