Chapter 260: Preparing for a new shop
When Gu Xiaoyou returned to the breakfast shop, everyone in the carriage shop had already eaten and drank.
The owner of the carriage and horse shop was wiping his mouth gracefully with toilet paper. When he saw Gu Xiaoyou, he greeted warmly: "Boss Gu, you are here."
Gu Xiaoyou nodded as a greeting and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the food?"
"I'm so satisfied. There are so many breakfast styles in your shop. I should try it next time." The owner of the carriage shop said with regret, as if he missed ten thousand taels of gold last time.
"It's not too late to eat." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and poured him a cup of hawthorn tea for digestion.
The owner of the carriage shop finished a cup of tea, exchanged a few polite words with Gu Xiaoyou, and then stood up.
"I and the guys have finished eating. Thank you Boss Gu for your hospitality."
As he said that, the owner of the carriage and horse shop took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table: "This is our meal money."
"As agreed, I'm treating you." Gu Xiaoyou declined.
"We are all in business, so we don't want to take advantage of you. Let's give it a preferential price."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou readily agreed, handed it over to the accounting clerk, and asked him to give the owner of the carriage and horse shop a 30% discount.
"What's this 30% off?" the owner of the carriage shop asked curiously.
"Oh, 30% off is 70%." Seeing that the boss still looked confused, Gu Xiaoyou scratched his head and explained: "To put it simply, it's better to say that charging 70 taels for one hundred taels of silver is 30% off.
"
"I see, it's interesting." The owner of the horse racing shop showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "I learned new knowledge from Boss Gu, and I really benefited a lot."
"I also opened a lot of eyesight with you." Gu Xiaoyou said politely.
"Boss Gu, you are being too humble. By the way, this is the order that the guys and I just wrote. Please take the trouble to deliver the food to us tomorrow." The owner of the carriage and horse shop took a piece of rice paper and handed it to Gu Xiaoyou.
Gu Xiaoyou unfolded the rice paper and saw that the guys at the carriage shop had no less appetite than the young masters at the academy. The rice paper was full of breakfast names.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyou's surprised expression, the owner of the carriage shop said with a smile: "I'm going to make you laugh, the shop is full of young men. As the saying goes, a young man can eat me to death, and all the men can eat well."
"I understand, I understand." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and put away the order: "Send it to the carriage shop on time tomorrow."
"Then please." The owner of the horse racing shop greeted him with a courtesy, and then left in a hurry with his guys.
As soon as they left, the lobby was half empty. Gu Xiaoyou gave the order paper to Zhou: "Well, at this rate, I can make back the fare in a few days."
When Mrs. Zhou opened the list and looked at it, she immediately smiled and the stone that was weighing on her heart was finally lifted.
"You go to the handyman to buy ingredients. I have to arrange two cart drivers to deliver the food." Gu Xiaoyou warned, and then went to arrange the manpower to deliver the food.
She arranged for two coachmen who were most familiar with the routes in the capital to be responsible for delivering meals to the Carriage and Horse Shop and Xinhu Academy. After more than ten days of delivery, there were only a lot more orders, and they even started delivering evening meals.
With the food delivery truck, the number of people who reported to Xinhu Academy to buy the food truck every day gradually decreased. Gu Xiaoyou arranged for them to go to the entrance of other colleges and attracted new customers. Two other food delivery trucks were also sent.
Used.
The cooks at the breakfast shop were completely busy. Gu Xiaoyou simply hired apprentices for them, and all simple matters were taken care of by the apprentices. The burden on the cooks was instantly relieved.
Of course, the apprentices also signed contracts, so Gu Xiaoyou could safely let them in and out of the kitchen.
The business of the breakfast shop was on the right track, and Gu Xiaoyou was able to get out of the breakfast shop and start preparing other restaurants.
Mu Zuo had finished repairing the other shops seven days ago. After Gu Xiaoyou inspected the house, he started to recruit new employees. She trained the clerks and maids for the first three days and handed them over to the foreman of the breakfast shop.
training.
She put all her thoughts on decorating the new store and recruiting cooks.
Fortunately, the eight chefs at the breakfast shop each have connections and have recommended some reliable people.
But the troublesome thing is that she can't train the chefs at the same time as the breakfast shop. After all, the food sold in each of her shops is different, and the things she needs to teach are also different.
She had to divide the day into three parts, teaching the cook of the second shop in the morning, teaching the cook of the third shop at noon, and teaching the cook of the fourth shop in the afternoon. When she went home in the evening, she was learning through videos and constantly improving the recipes.
The days passed slowly, and the temperature became cooler day by day.
The sun rises slowly, bringing slightly warm temperatures and melting the frost on the vegetation, ushering in a new day.
Gu Xiaoyou applied homemade facial cream on her face. Although it was not as good as the high-end brand cosmetics, it was green and natural. What's more, she had a good relationship with the nurse in the dermatology department and learned a lot of skin care tips.
In ancient times, you could directly prepare medicines and mix them in your own medical clinic, and your skin would be better than in modern times.
Gu Xiaoyou touched her tender little face and said coquettishly: "You are such an invincible flower."
Zhixia, who was combing Gu Xiaoyou's hair, couldn't help but smile: "Miss, what you say is really interesting."
"There are still many interesting things." Gu Xiaoyou picked a hairpin and stuck it in her head: "Have you used the hand cream I gave you?"
"It's used. You can see that my hands are much softer now." Zhixia stretched out her little hand to look at Gu Xiaoyou.
Gu Xiaoyou touched it a few times and slapped the back of Zhixia's hand hard: "It's quite tender, and the sound is very crisp."
"Miss, why are you patting this slave?" Zhixia innocently rubbed the back of her hand.
"This is your punishment for laughing at me, huh." Gu Xiaoyou proudly raised her chin, put on her sheep fur coat and went out.
Zhixia pouted and followed Gu Xiaoyou out of the house.
Along the way to Lutan Anyang Street, Zhixia's little expression kept looking unhappy. Zhou poked Gu Xiaoyou's arm and asked softly: "What's wrong with her? She was pouting all the way."
"I taught you this morning." Gu Xiaoyou said lightly.
When Zhixia heard this, her little mouth pursed even higher.
Until the carriage stopped, Zhixia still looked gloomy and walked towards the paper art workshop with a sullen face.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at her aggrieved back and shook his head funnyly: "Xiao Zhixia, stop for a moment."
"What are your orders, Miss?" Zhi Xia reluctantly stopped and felt relieved.
"Small sample, just pat it and get angry with me. Here is the jasmine-flavored hand cream specially made for you." Gu Xiaoyou threw a small porcelain bottle in Zhixia's direction.
