Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 144-Who isn’t a baby waiting to be fed?

"Make me another promotional video, film the price list on location, and communicate again with all the districts. Make sure prices remain stable. Absolutely no rip-offs like this. If there's one, kill them. If there are two, kill them both! By the way, do you know the price of our Ludong meat skewers? Is there any way to convert the traffic that Wang Fan has attracted?"

Seeing the rebellious remarks made by DJI Culture and Tourism below, Liu Xi could no longer sit still.

Kong Weide nodded and said, "According to my communication with Mr. Wang Fan and the research I've done down there, meat skewers in eastern Shandong are basically 2 yuan a skewer, and vegetables are generally 1 yuan a skewer. Only some very remote areas in DJI can offer this price, and ordinary ones are more than 6 yuan a skewer."

"Huh? Meat for 2 yuan and vegetables for 1 yuan? Is this profitable?"

Kong Weide explained: "We have our own advantages here. The most mature barbecue industry in eastern Shandong is in Zibo. Zibo is located in the central part of the country, with convenient transportation and rich products, especially meat and aquatic products. Because of the sufficient raw materials, the cost is relatively low. Moreover, most of them are operated by small family-run shops and stalls, without having to pay excessive rent and labor costs. So this pricing is profitable. In addition to meat, there are also vegetables. Don't be fooled by the fact that vegetable skewers are only one yuan each. The profit of one skewer is probably higher than that of five skewers of lamb."

Liu Xi was very satisfied with Kong Wei De's answer. It was well-reasoned, well-founded and had data. It was clear without even asking that he had done his homework.

"Very good, it seems you have some ideas?"

Kong Weide pondered for a moment and said, "The specific details still need to be thought about. I will communicate with Mr. Wang Fan later and see if we can come up with a plan. I will need your help to review it by then."

Liu Xi patted Kong Weide on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, do it boldly. We in Ludong are united this time. We must not let Erbin take the lead. Hahaha."

……

"Hey, what's that smell so good?"

"Isn't it a sin to smell this kind of meaty aroma so early in the morning?"

"And this garlic chili sauce smell, I can't stand it just by smelling it."

"Where does the smell come from?"

After Zhuo Qianqian, people began to come down from Yuhuangding to the South Heaven Gate one after another.

The main reason was that Zhuo Qianqian didn't like taking pictures so she came back early, and these people came back only after they had taken panoramic photos with their cameras.

In addition to those who came up and spent the night on the top of the mountain yesterday, there were also some people who chose to sleep at the foot of the mountain to save money and got up early in the morning to reach the summit.

Naturally, these people have never seen Wang Fan’s store.

Wang Fan had just finished grilling skewers and oysters, and the air was filled with the rich and mellow aroma of meat.

A man wearing sunglasses and a camera bag pointed to Wang Fan's shop and said, "It looks like it came from there. Let's go check it out."

"Yes, that's right. I ate lamb skewers there yesterday. Oh, the smell was so delicious that it made me dizzy. I didn't expect they were open in the mornings too. I'm in for a treat."

In a blink of an eye, more people gathered in front of Wang Fan's shop.

Seeing the price on the sign at the door, these people were even happier: "Wow, it's so cheap! This price is not expensive at all."

"Boss, give me 10 lamb skewers and 3 grilled oysters."

Wang Fan quickly said, "Please wait a moment, it's not business hours yet, and the ingredients are not ready yet."

The person in front of the line is called Zheng Qian, he is in his 30s, of medium build, and a photography enthusiast. He rested at the foot of the mountain yesterday and reached the summit this morning.

Zheng Qian pointed at Wang Zhi, who was still munching on a mutton-wrapped pancake, and said, "Aren't you eating it all?"

Wang Fan said, "This is all we have in stock. This is the employee meal we prepared this morning. My two guys just finished eating and are washing their hands to get ready for work."

He pointed at Li Wei and Feng Haoyu, who had just washed their hands. They waved and sat down to start skewering meat, their speed increasing compared to before.

Wang Zhi was quite proud at the moment, because he was the only one who had not finished eating. He was slowly wrapping meat in a small pancake. His proud look made everyone feel itchy.

"Gu..."

Zheng Qian's stomach growled uncontrollably.

He stared at the lamb skewers on the grill next to Wang Zhi and couldn't help licking his lips.

This looks so delicious!
"What time does it open?"

Wang Fan said, "It won't take long, you just have to wait a little longer. I estimate my two guys can finish a whole batch of skewers in 10 minutes, about 100 skewers."

"All right, all right, I'll wait."

Wang Fan glared helplessly at Zhuo Qianqian who was about to leave, because it was because of her that she opened the shop so early.

Zhuo Qianqian stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed. Suddenly, she thought of something and said excitedly, "Boss, how about I help you with the skewers? I'm from Dajiang Province, so skewers are a piece of cake for me. I've been doing it since I was a kid."

Wang Fan glanced at her uncertainly: "Are you sure you can do it? But it's very hard."

Zhuo Qianqian patted her chest and said, "Children of the prairie are least afraid of hard work!"

"Then give it a try. If you can keep up with their speed, I'll pay you 1000 yuan a day. If you can keep up with half their speed, I'll pay you 500 yuan a day, and so on."

"okay!"

Zhuo Qianqian responded excitedly and ran into the store, put on the apron hanging on the wall, picked up the bamboo sticks and started stringing.

She didn't care much about money. Whenever the family was short of money, her father would sell a few sheep or cows. She had never been short of money.

The main reason she was happy was that she could eat the staff meal. She was envious of Wang Fan feeding her in the morning. Who isn't a hungry baby?
Just 1 year and 220 months old!

Wang Fan was about to remind her how to string the clothes together, but after taking a look at her, he knew he didn't need to teach her. This girl was indeed very professional.

It would be easier for him if he had one more person to help him.

I didn't feel anything special about their conversation, but the people queuing outside were stunned by what they heard.

"Fuck... is skewering meat this profitable now? 1000 yuan a day? Doesn't that mean a 30000 yuan monthly salary? I only make 8000 yuan a month!"

"I work my ass off driving a truck for a month and only earn 10000 yuan."

"Is it too late to change careers and learn skewers now?"

Zheng Qian, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but ask Wang Fan, "Boss, are you still hiring skewers? I think I can do it too."

Wang Fan quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion in front of the oven."

The speed of the skewers trio in the store has increased significantly since Zhuo Qianqian joined. It's not only because they have an extra laborer like Zhuo Qianqian, but also because after Zhuo Qianqian left, Li Wei and Feng Haoyu seemed to have been buffed, and their movements became three times faster.

After all, with a beautiful girl like Reba looking at you, who wouldn’t be motivated?
