I sell food by drawing cards

Chapter 25 Help

Ye Xu went to Shuangshuang full of doubts, and Shuangshuang said that she didn't know either.After asking around, I finally got the answer from Han Yingchen.

"The price is cheap, so it doesn't matter if you have a meal once in a while." That's what Han Yingshen said at the time.

Of course Ye Xu knew this: "I mean, why are there so many people here all of a sudden? The price in the store hasn't changed, right? It's not as cheap as the first day."

"Didn't the food delivery event be added yesterday?" Han Yingchen asked back.

Ye Xu was stunned, he didn't expect that the effect of delivering food from a store would be so obvious.He ran to the lobby and listened to the diners chatting for a while, and finally figured out all the details inside.

Because of the fight with the opposite door yesterday, the store launched a free dish event, no matter how much you spend.Ye Xu handed over this matter to Shuangshuang, who took full control of it, and Shuangshuang chose a delicious dessert as a gift.

Considering that the dishes delivered must be the favorites of the indigenous people, so as to attract a large number of customers, the dishes selected by Shuangshuang are the enduring special gourmet puffs here.There are ten gifts on a plate, and they are not too small, so they can be shared with family members, and many ordinary people are moved.

Many people have heard that the price of skewers in this store is cheap, and the cost of buying vegetables directly in the market is almost the same.But the skewers are washed and cut, so don't worry about it. Although the bottom material is more expensive, it is very cost-effective to add the dessert.

Many families have relatives and friends who have eaten before, and they said that the taste is very good, so they were moved.I thought that even if I don't visit often, it's not bad to come here for a meal, so after getting the news, this group of people came here today.

There are also customers who have heard that the price at the opposite door is cheaper and want to eat there.However, the owner of the opposite door was sent to the doctor today, and the shop was temporarily closed because no one was managing it. Some of these customers gave up consumption when they saw that the door was not open, and many of them gritted their teeth and came to the Dimension Hot Pot Restaurant.

This is a good thing for the store, don't look at the common people who are not as generous as the adventurers, they contribute a lot of emotional points!

Adventurers are used to seeing good things, but they are not so easily satisfied.A commoner eating a delicious hot pot meal can contribute [-] points, and an adventurer can give [-] points, which is considered too much.

Not to mention that civilians come with their families, with an average of four hundred per capita, and a family of several thousand.However, they are not like adventurers who must have a seat before they are willing to order food. A large family of commoners only needs a table for two, or even a heater that can be used to cook in a pot.

In addition to the children Ye Xu saw standing and eating at the two-person table, there are also families with seven or eight people who still only need one table.The four eat first, sit and stand twice, and the other people wait in the open space. When the family finishes eating quickly, they run over to take over.

With so many family members, there is no need to bother the waiter at all. If there is any problem, just let your children go there.Therefore, the waiters did not affect their work because of road problems. Some civilians even felt embarrassed that they were blocking the aisle, and offered to serve tea and water for the adventurers, so that the waiters would not have to run back and forth.

The usual work of the waiters is to help serve soup pots, dishes, deliver water, and clean up the table. Children can also do these small things.

Ye Xu saw several times that the children who had satiated and waited by the side rushed up to clean up the dirty table.A group of people put the dishes on the cleaning cart, and a group of people took the initiative to go to the waiting area to gather the guests from the next table to sit down.

This is not over yet, and then the children will take the initiative to serve warm water, guide customers how to use the ordering machine, and introduce the signature pot bottoms and dishes in the store.If the customer doesn't want to move, he will volunteer to help get the skewers, so there is no need for the customer to run back and forth.

Some adventurers liked this very much, and with a wave of their hands, they gave each of the children a copper coin as a tip for running errands.With the incentive of copper coins, everyone worked harder. Even if the guests only reported a few strings at a time and required them to go back and forth many times, the children were very willing.

Manager Ye feels that he has a lot of free employees who don't spend money, and the service attitude is really good.

made money!

Ye Xu went to the back kitchen, and tentatively said to the system panel: "Father Tong, those kids are so busy with their work, it's not too much for me to pay them for running errands, right?"

Not all adventurers are willing to tip generously, and some children don't earn anything for all their work.Ye Xu couldn't bear to see it strangely, thinking that at least he was helping the store, and the store couldn't just produce nothing.

The father of the system did not agree, and he resolutely does not allow the store manager to play the sidelines and hire outside labor.

"That's how it is." Ye Xu changed his approach, "All the children who help can get free small cakes, isn't that all right?"

The question is that new sweets will be released in the store soon, and the children are invited to taste them.I used to do this kind of free tasting activities before, which is not a violation of the rules.

System Dad: "..."

The store manager is professional in taking advantage of loopholes.The system was speechless, and could only turn a blind eye and let him go.

Soon the children all got small cakes from the store manager, one for each of them.The waiters are robots and have a strong ability to remember people. This matter can be left to them, so there is no need to worry about someone being missed.

Parents, who were already supportive, became more and more happy when they heard that their children could also eat free cakes if they went to help.Some families ate their fill and went home, leaving their children behind to help with the work.

Ye Xu said no, and let the children leave with their parents.Society is not stable in extreme climates, and it is dangerous for children to go out alone.And a cake can't make people work until the store closes, can it?

This is fine now, when the family eats, they help a little.When I finish eating at home, I will go back together. Anyway, there will be a steady stream of new children joining, so there will be no one in the store.

"The boss is such a nice guy." The children left with smiles on their faces.

Not everyone is willing to eat the small cakes directly. Some children plan to save them for savoring, and some can't help but take them out to share with their families as soon as they get home.Although only a small bite per person, it will keep the whole family happy for a long time.

"It tastes so sweet, I haven't eaten candy for a long time." The youngest sister in the family licked her fingers, "Mom, do you want to eat it tomorrow?"

Mother gritted her teeth, thinking of the fuel cost of cooking at home, and the two desserts delivered by the store, she nodded cruelly: "Let's eat it again."

It's just a few more copper coins for a meal, and the family can still afford to eat once or twice a month.

Nowadays, the civilians in the city cook with magic stoves, and they need to buy magic fuel.Magic fuel is not very cheap, so the cost of making it at home is not as low as everyone thinks, that is, you can negotiate the price when you go out to buy vegetables, and it is only a few copper coins cheaper.

"I still won't go." The sensible elder son shook his head, "I heard that their family sells that kind of base material, so you can buy the base material and cook it yourself."

The youngest daughter retorted: "Then there would be no cakes and puffs to eat."

"But a can of base mixed with water can make a lot of meals, which is what John's mother did. Every time you add a little bit to the stew, it tastes very good."

After all, it is still a matter of poverty. The parents looked at each other and sighed.Their family had a good life before, but the cold wave will pass. It is better to save some money than to waste money. No one knows whether they will have to rely on the copper coins saved now to tide over the difficulties.

Seeing that his younger sister had tears in his eyes, the eldest son patted his head angrily: "Don't cry, I'll ask the boss, if we don't eat at home tomorrow, can I go back and help. I Willing to help all day, maybe he will be willing to give me a small cake."

"I, I can do it too!" Several other children in the family rushed to speak.

"Nonsense." Mom glared at the other children, "You guys are not comfortable working at home, did you add to the trouble in the past? Let your elder brother do it, don't be too greedy, a cake is already a luxury."

Only then did the children calm down, and they stood by the door and watched their brother run out eagerly.

Their family lived not far from the Dimension hot pot restaurant, so the parents safely let the eldest son go there alone.In fact, civilians who live far away should not receive news of free gift activities at the store within a day, and everyone doesn't like to go out to visit in cold weather.

The boy quickly returned to the hot pot restaurant, took the initiative to find Ye Xu who was still wandering in the lobby, and shyly opened his mouth to express his intention of coming.

Ye Xu saw through his purpose at a glance, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to keep his children busy all day.He thought for a moment, and suddenly had a new idea.

Many shops will organize old customers to bring new customers activities, bring a new customer, give the old customer a gift.There is also pure publicity, such as how many likes in the circle of friends can get coupons or gifts.

Ye Xu felt that it was inappropriate for people to really bring in a lot of customers, so it was better to just go publicity.Adults can also do this job. It is enough to talk to co-workers when you go out to work, or talk to relatives and friends at home.

"Can I get a cake just like this?" The boy was very surprised.

Ye Xu nodded and emphasized: "No matter how effective your publicity is or how long it takes, I will only give you a cake. Are you still willing to do it?"

Ye Xu can give more, but charity can't be endless.Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, he has to be careful, so as not to cause trouble for himself before leaving Biyue City.

"Of course!" The boy didn't dislike the lack of a piece of cake at all. He thought that the boss would not take him in and continue to help.If one is not enough to eat, at worst, he will go out to work and save money, and then bring his family to eat skewers.

There is an example of boys, and many children who heard the sound also gathered around to want this extra money to make cakes.Ye Xu agreed to all of them, and then simply gave each family a cake when they checked out and left, as a reward for paying in advance.

The vast majority of civilians in this era are simple and will not break their promises.Even if he broke his promise, the cost of small cakes bought in batches of ten cents is equivalent to 0.1 copper coins. Ye Xu is not at a loss at all, and he can get back his money if he hears the promotion and comes to eat.

Facts have proved that the effect of Ye Xu's prize promotion is still outstanding, and the number of civilians queuing up surged the next day.Many adventurers didn't want to line up to go to the reopened door, which caused Ye Xu's copper coin income to drop sharply, but many tables were vacated for civilians, and his point income increased sharply.

Ye Xu has the illusion that high-quality customers crowd out ordinary customers, causing the opposite door to be forced to become his own successor.He stood at the door and looked around for a long time, and found that the owner of the opposite door should not be in the store, probably because he was worried that his bad luck would affect the business of the store.

"Why is he still running the shop?" Shuangshuang was puzzled, "Don't you all know that you are losing money?"

Ye Xu took the opportunity to teach: "This is the sunk cost. He may think that if he continues to open, until our store is sold out and closed, he will usher in a turning point and raise prices to make money."

But this time, even Luna Hanying Shen them, all know that this is impossible.There will only be more and more shops following the trend, and there will never be fewer competitors.

After Ye Xu moved out, unless these shops raised their prices together and worked together to formulate a new price order, they would fall into an endless cycle of price wars together.Even if everyone maintains the existing low price and does not continue to drop, it will only be cool together, and there will always be fools rushing in to open new stores, so that the price will never go up.

"Under what circumstances will no one enter the industry?" Luna took the initiative to ask, becoming a little interested in economics.

Ye Xu replied: "When the surrounding shops are empty."

Most of the hot-headed people who come in don't know how to calculate profits. They can only see the popularity on the bright side, but they can't see the losses underneath.If the price is set too low, there will always be many customers coming in to collect wool in the store, and there will be no situation where no one patronizes.

The more customers, the more money will be lost, and the competitors will follow suit. However, a single company dare not take the initiative to raise prices to break the balance, for fear that it will be the first to go bankrupt and lose everything. This is nothing more than a vicious circle.

"Then if you still transfer the store, won't the person who takes over lose money?" Shuangshuang wondered.

But Ye Xu said: "Didn't I figure out a way to break the situation? When the time comes, tell the person who takes over the store what to do, analyze the pros and cons, and let him decide whether to enter the business. He might as well take over my store if he goes out and runs it himself. Going out to drive is ignorance and infighting, and the person who takes over me can at least know how to let everyone share the cake."

Ye Xu doesn't plan to bankrupt other shops that follow suit.Therefore, it is best for the person who takes over to persuade everyone to increase the price. He only hopes that the other door will lose a little money, or even go bankrupt, and it has nothing to do with others.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the opposite door may not be able to survive until the day when the solution comes out.

There are more and more civilian customers in the store, but there are still many adventurers who are willing to stay.They do nothing else, just for the top seafood and monster meat here.

The store opposite has no top-quality seafood, and there is little Warcraft meat, so it is impossible to provide unlimited supply.Coupled with the difference in taste and quality of ingredients, those adventurers who are not short of money naturally don't want to wrong themselves.

These people quickly discovered a little coup to avoid the queue-find the children and buy a bull.

Those kids were really smart, and after realizing that there were fewer adventurers in the store who could tip them, they began to look at the passers-by outside.

The children formed small groups and went outside to attract customers for the hot pot restaurant.They only pick on gentlemen and ladies who are not bad at money, and when they go up, they brag about how delicious the food in the store is.If guests are willing to come in and try, they help make everything right.

There are children who are responsible for attracting customers, and naturally there are also those who are responsible for queuing inside.In this way, guests can get an empty table as soon as they come in, and the price is only a tip of two copper coins per person for a small group, which is simply too cost-effective.

The children didn't feel so hard either, they worked hard.This kind of work that can quickly earn a lot of pocket money with just a little errands and queuing has never been done before.

Ye Xu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't stop him.

These children did not affect the meals of normal guests, and they also lined up honestly.If there are no guests when you are in the queue, the people at the next table will be allowed to eat first.

Most of the guests would like to have more children in the line. After all, the number of adventurers passing by and willing to come in is limited, and most of the time they are empty. 80% of the adventurers went to the opposite door to contribute to the money-losing cause of the boss of the opposite door.

It's really touching.

Here Ye Xu was earning points like crazy, but the unlucky deeds of the boss at the other end spread quietly.

Originally, the boss's physique was not noticed much, although he was unlucky twice that morning.But after all, he just fell down the first time, and was quickly sent to the hospital the second time. After that, the shop closed, and everyone didn't bother to talk about him.

The store reopened the next day, and since the boss didn't come back, the diners here didn't know about each other's situation.The boss himself was also worried about affecting the business in the store, so he stayed in the hospital honestly.

But people, when you are unlucky, you can't hide anywhere.The injury didn't heal for two days, and something happened again.

People often get frostbite during the cold wave, and the medical center has become another place where people gather.Repeated bad luck here, basically don't want to hide the news.

At first, everyone didn't know the origin of the boss, but later they heard that he was the manager of another hot pot restaurant, and they became excited all of a sudden.Some adventurers are jealous of this, so they persuade other friends not to go to this restaurant to eat, and they come and go, the news spreads to everyone, and Ye Xu also heard a lot of the following.

The experience of the boss is so legendary that he has become the latest hot news in Biyue City.

Ye Xu found that not only adventurers but also many commoners were talking about him.You must know that even the matter of Han Yingshen has not spread so widely among the common people. It can be seen that no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, everyone is very concerned about the unlucky ghost.

Within a few days, the saying that eating at the opposite door would bring bad luck was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Because there are quite a few people who have been there, some of these people have recently committed Mercury retrograde.After they heard the rumors, they certainly didn't want to admit that they were unlucky. They happened to have a boss who was the one to take the blame, so how could they let it go.

With the evidence of these people adding fuel and vinegar, the business of the opposite door gradually deteriorated.After a while, a new hotpot restaurant opened on the next street, diverting away a lot of customers. Everyone had a second choice of "best second" and no one came here to eat.

After all, the opposite door closed down before Ye Xu ran away, and the boss didn't know where he went.

Some people said that he went to other cities and wanted to ask the great magician to solve the bad luck curse on him.Some people also said that he has been too unlucky recently, that due to various reasons, his savings have been exhausted, and he has been sleeping on the street, so he can only go to the countryside to join relatives.

The reason for his misfortune is unknown to everyone.Most people who eat melons think that he has provoked a powerful wizard and was cursed, but no one sympathizes with him.

The person who saw the boss stealing things and was thrown out by Ye Xu early in the morning had a vague guess in his heart.However, they have a good relationship with Ye Xu, so naturally they won't talk nonsense, so the outside world still doesn't know that the culprit is Ye Xu.

Even if some people think that this incident happened when the boss competed with Ye Xu just after opening the store, it might be Ye Xu's fault, but they have no proof.Before this theory became mainstream, Ye Xu had already packed his things and planned to leave.

There are more than five surrounding shops, even if they are not all on the same street, it will affect the business.If it really opened on the same street, the store would not be so easy to sell. Now this situation is suitable for transfer.

In fact, there was an image of transfer to the opposite door before, and it seemed that the boss wanted to get back some of the capital.However, his reputation as an unlucky guy was so great that no one dared to take over even the store. The store just became tasteless, and it was a pity to throw it away if it was tasteless.

Ye Xu's shop should also be affected, after all, it's a bit close.However, the business has been particularly hot, obviously not infected by bad luck.

This made Ye Xu's plan to find another family go very smoothly, and it was easy to choose a candidate.He asked the waiter to pay attention to those guests dressed as businessmen when entertaining guests. Most of these people want to follow suit and open a shop to learn from them. It is not difficult to choose a suitable candidate among them.

The two sides quickly negotiated the conditions, and Ye Xu also informed the other party of the problems he found.It was because of this that the man was entangled in whether to enter the industry, but after listening to Ye Xu's words, he strengthened his belief.

Obviously, not everyone is stupid.

Of course, among the businessmen, there will be many people who made a fortune in a muddle-headed way, and they can't explain why they can save their wealth. In fact, they just took advantage of the wind and chose the right industry.But there are also many people who are smart enough to notice something strange before entering the industry, but they are reluctant to bear such a good opportunity, so they are hesitant.

If it weren't for the fact that the prices in this area are too low, in fact, smart people would have gone to a place far away to open a shop.If you are far away from each other, you can't compete with each other, and you can raise the price a little bit.

However, all the prices here are the same. If they go outside to raise the price now, they will only be scolded for making black-hearted money.What merchants want to earn is the money of adventurers, and most adventurers don't care about taking two extra steps to go to cheaper shops to eat.

"So it's better to open a store in another city." Luna learned quickly and gave a summary directly.

Some cities don’t have hot pot restaurants yet, so what are you waiting for if you don’t take the opportunity to seize the market and be the first to eat crabs?It's a bit stupid to insist on smashing in Biyue City.

Ye Xu didn't think so: "Not everyone has the courage to leave their hometown, especially when the general environment is not good. Everyone would rather stay in a familiar place and go to a strange city. If they don't make money, the situation will only get worse. awful."

In this day and age, the judiciary is not perfect, and if you accidentally provoke someone outside, you can complain.In comparison, it is better to stay in Biyue City and work hard to bring the hotpot industry of Biyue City back on track.

Ye Xu hung up the notice that the store was about to be transferred a few days in advance, and closed the door and left on the agreed date as promised.

The news of the transfer of the store surprised everyone, but when they thought about the "noble young master" they had imagined for Ye Xu, they were collectively relieved.

The young master was ready to give up after the addiction of opening a shop, this possibility had already been expected by them.Boss Ye's ability to keep driving for so long has exceeded everyone's expectations.

After the handover of the store, the hot pot restaurant was relocated to another city as a whole, which was the location Ye Xu had hoped for in advance.

This migration did not rely on the system to provide services, and the system services were too expensive.Each plane of the time-space tree cub has a chance to use the space transfer skill, which happened to be spent here, saving Ye Xu a lot of money.

"Xiaoyu is too powerful." Ye Xu hugged the little fur ball and kissed again and again, "He can take away the whole store in one go."

The original location of the store left a small building over there, and the plane store automatically transformed its appearance according to that building, so it did not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding residents.Now that the store is gone, the small building that was replaced by overlapping before reappears, and everything is very logical.

Now, a new location, a new look, and a new beginning.Ye Xu intends to collect the remaining half of the points here, and then he can leave the current plane.

Recently, I am catching bugs on old articles (I have been hoarding them for four years before I started to revise them. My procrastination must have been felt by you...)

In short, if you see that the old article has been modified, don’t worry about it, okay;

If a baby suddenly receives a red envelope, it is the previous bug-catching comment, and the red envelope will be automatically sent after the background bug-catching is passed (so you must choose 0 points for bug-catching in the future)
