I sell food by drawing cards

When you come to a new city, how to quickly open up the situation is a problem.

Ye Xu's idea is mainly to earn points, so the best way is to attract a large number of ordinary people to eat instead of continuing to do business for adventurers.

However, there are many civilians, but there are not enough seats in the store.Even if all the four floors are replaced with tables for two, the number of guests entertained is limited, and the number of civilians cannot be fully utilized.

At this time, Ye Xu thought of the modern cold pot skewers.Most of the cold skewers are spread out in small mobile stalls, and there are not many dine-in eaters. After purchasing, you can take them and eat while walking, which is very convenient.

Of course Ye Xu doesn't need to make cold hot pot skewers, who wants to eat cold things in such a cold day.However, he can learn from the mode of walking and eating, so that this "walking" is limited to the store, and the skewers cooked with the bottom material are arranged in a long row like oden. Everyone eats from one end to the other, and finally according to the bamboo Sign the checkout.

Because there is heating in the store, the whole process will not be cold.In the cold wave era, the aboriginal residents themselves were also used to solving three meals quickly, and usually finished the skewers in their hands when they reached the end.

Ye Xu and the shop assistants designed a moving passage to ensure that everyone is moving forward at a normal speed, and when they reach the end, their stomachs are basically full and there is no need to take new skewers.Then set up a rest area at the end to give those who eat slowly a place to stand and eat for a while.

After there were no seats, a lot of space was vacated. The seats that could only be seated by a family can squeeze a lot of people standing, and the reception capacity has increased instantly.The only thing to be concerned about is whether someone will take the opportunity to engage in petty theft, and there is no way to prevent this situation from being crowded.

"Father, how can we prevent customers from stealing things in the store?" Ye Xuli asked confidently.

System: "..." Can you have some backbone?

The slander is all the slander, the system still worked hard to guide Ye Xu to open the mall, and searched for the "core value" buff in it.The specific function of this buff is to implement the 24-character core values, so that the guests who come in subconsciously abide by the good qualities of civilization, harmony, integrity, and friendliness.

They are all civilized, so naturally they will not take the initiative to steal things.And harmony and friendliness can calm down some grumpy guests. Even if they are accidentally pushed, they will not get angry immediately, but choose to negotiate friendly.

Ye Xu thinks that the system is very creative when designing products.

This buff is really useful. Even though the price is very expensive, I reluctantly bought it when I saw that the validity period is "permanent".Everything is for the smooth operation in the future, and we cannot be stingy.

After buying the buffs, Shuangshuang started to adjust the layout of the store, but Ye Xu didn't intervene.The system assistant is much better at this than him, and can be used as a half robot. It's better for a layman like him not to hold back.

In order to entertain more guests, they unanimously decided to open the fourth floor for use.In this way, the small box that was originally reserved for the lounge, moved once, twice, and moved to the fourth floor seemed very redundant. After the system arrogantly charged a demolition fee of 100 points, it helped to remove this thing.

Since then, Ye Xu has owned a four-story self-service skewering area.After buying enough skewer cooking machines, it can be officially opened.

As for whether the back kitchen can be busy, this is a headache for Shuangshuang.Ye Xu is just a shopkeeper now, he only takes care of the general direction, and Shuangshuang hires the lack of people in the back kitchen-who makes him, the store manager, unable to get any good cards, hmph.

"Uh..." Shuangshuang didn't say much to the tantrum store manager, "It's best to have a back kitchen on each of the four floors, and each take care of their own, otherwise it will be very troublesome to deliver skewers."

Ye Xu nodded again and again: "It's fine, you can figure it out, anyway, the employee coupons are enough now."

After getting more points, you can save enough money to buy an employee voucher in a few days.All this is due to Xiaoyu, the patron saint's bonus is really too strong.But in fact, there is no need to buy coupons, there are still gift packs left in hand, and many of the opened ones are useless.

The final plan discussed by everyone is to only supply ten kinds of cheap ingredients, and most of them are full.

The price of the ingredients is based on the market price, and the guests enter the store to pay the entrance fee per person, one copper coin per person.After that, go get a stick to eat skewers, which can be filled with bamboo sticks or skewers.After eating, go downstairs to check out, and charge another skewer fee according to the number of bamboo sticks.

This time, because Ye Xu chose the location of the shop himself, he deliberately chose a location with a large open space at the door.If there is space, an outdoor waiting area can be set up, and it can be connected with the lobby as an integral part of the building.There is heating for wind and snow protection, and half of it is used as a checkout area, so you don't have to worry about being blocked at the door and affecting entry and exit.

The checkout is naturally self-service by machine, and the employees have no time to count the checks one by one.Instead, some dishwashers need to be placed at the door to wash the returned dirty swab holders so that they can be distributed to future guests.

"Set the price according to the market price, and the common people will not flock to eat skewers." Ye Xu analyzed, "The cost of eating at home should be about 5 copper coins cheaper than eating here."

5 copper coins is a moderate price, and thrifty housewives will hesitate.Of course the family can afford it, but with 5 copper coins per meal, how much will it cost in a month?

According to Ye Xu's speculation, most people would choose to eat only once a day to satisfy their hunger.The remaining two meals will be settled at home.

On the first day of the official opening, the business was very hot.

It's not that everyone has a unique eye, and can see the delicious food in the plane shop at a glance.But before Ye Xu arrived, a hot pot restaurant had already opened in the city.

Ye Xu deliberately chose this city because he wanted to take advantage of the other party.They have already helped him promote the existence of hot pot, and it will save a lot of trouble for him to open a store.

As expected, the matter of the hot pot restaurant has already been discussed in the current city for a round, and both civilians and adventurers are all talking about it.However, the price of hot pot here is very high, and ordinary people can't afford it. As the first person to eat crabs, there is no industry benchmark to pull down the price from the beginning, so the restaurant can naturally set a high price at will to ensure profits.

After Ye Xu discovered this problem, he directly asked the shop assistants to use "cheap hot pot" as a selling point to promote it.Anyway, before the opening of the robot, the robot is idle, and it can be considered to make the best use of it if it goes out and yells for a long time.

I heard there was a new hot pot restaurant, and I was a little worried at first.But after inquiring carefully, I felt relieved.

Ye Xu's shop obviously doesn't intend to entertain adventurers, it only makes money from commoners.The first store is just the opposite. Their family doesn't look down on the money of ordinary people and only entertains adventurers.

The two have no competitive relationship at all, and the consumer groups complement each other, so they can keep the water in the water.The store owner is a smart man, and he soon realized that he could actually take advantage of this matter.

The more civilians have eaten hot pot, the more people will talk about it.The popularity of hot pot remains high, which can attract more adventurers to try it.However, Ye Xu's shop only sells a few cheap vegetables, which can't satisfy the appetite of adventurers at all, so this "high-end" hot pot restaurant benefits him instead.

Based on this, Ye Xu's publicity plan went very smoothly, and the other company not only didn't stop it, but also helped a little.

Seeing the flow of people in the store, Shuangshuang was overjoyed: "I was worried that I would have to start from scratch again in another place."

"Not at all. And even if we start from the beginning, we can still open up the situation by using aroma to attract customers like before, and it won't take much effort." Ye Xu has a plan in mind.

Luna flew over with a miniature economics book in her arms, and asked earnestly, "Shop manager, there shouldn't be anyone opening a store to compete with us this time, right?"

Luna thinks that even if they compete, they should open a high-end hot pot restaurant to compete with another one.Let's not talk about whether they can take advantage of the common people's money, even if they do, the price of the plane store is so low, and others will not get much profit if they follow suit.

"I'm afraid it's not that optimistic." Ye Xu shook his head.

Again, there are a lot of idiots who jump in because your business is booming. When you opened Biyue City before, you knew that the store was "losing" on the surface, and many people still followed suit.This time his store obviously has room to make money, but it's not that much, and there must be follow-ups.

"Is there any profit?" Luna was confused, "Our price is so low."

Ye Xu saw that she was really eager to learn, so he broke it open and explained: "Our skewers are set according to the market retail price, which is higher than the wholesale price. There is still a lot of room for price reduction. If the price is not reduced, the price difference It is the profit that the opponent can obtain."

"But the base material is expensive." Luna learned and used it flexibly, thinking of the past in Biyue City.

Ye Xu reminded her: "When I was in Biyue City, the opposite door lost money because a table of guests needed a whole pot of base ingredients alone, but it's different now."

Now the store is in the Kanto cooking mode. A pot of base material can cook hundreds of strings, and the consumption of base material is not worth mentioning.Evenly distributed to each guest, it doesn't cost 1 copper coin at all, but they charge an entrance fee of 1 copper coin per person, which is also a profit.

If other people learn this model, the biggest expenditure should be on magic fuel and labor costs.After all, they don't have so many machines to save manpower. They either reduce the scale and sell less every day, or hire more people to help wash, cut and cook.

Fortunately, the labor costs in the Transit Continent are very low, and the labor force is even less valuable during the cold wave. A large number of civilians are waiting for work at home. Those bosses may be able to hire a lot of people to help at a low price.So this kind of follow-up store can be opened, at most, the profit is a little less.

Of course, the early followers will not follow Ye Xu, they will set their sights on the high-end market.When the high-end market is difficult to mix, it's time for Ye Xu's competitors to appear.

"We have to hurry up and earn points, otherwise we will have to change places if there are too many opponents. This time, we don't have Xiaoyu's space teleportation skill to help us." Ye Xu reminded everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling the urgency.

The plane task required by the system is to accumulate 1 million points, and a single plane can get up to 10 billion points.This is not a small sum and should not be taken lightly.

They have actually completed the task of 1 million points, and the profit in the second half of Biyue City's operation can be called terrifying.On the one hand, civilians bring their families with them, and on average, each table provides several times more points than before; on the other hand, it is the buff effect of the patron saint, which leads to a significant increase in the positive emotions generated by each customer.

Now the cumulative number of tasks has even exceeded 3 million, and 10 billion is just around the corner.After discussing with several people, they all felt that it is best to save up to the full. Since there is a limit to the points, and the store has the ability to earn the limit, why not fight for it?

According to the current scale of the new string mode, the speed of earning points will be faster than in Biyue City.If there is no accident, you should be able to save up within a month, mainly depending on when the followers appear.

"I hope they come later." Shuangshuang clasped her hands in prayer.

The cheap gimmicks attracted most of the commoners in the city to try it out, and it took too long for the commoners who were farther away to come over, so they never came here no matter how excited they were.

The commoners nearby and Ye Xu expected it well, and basically came to have a meal every day.As for those farther away, it generally depends on the weather, and more people will come when there is no snow.

No matter how many people come, the store is always crowded, and at first glance it seems that there is not much disturbance.It is only at the end of the day when you take stock of your accounts that you realize the impact of the weather on your business.

"Extreme weather is a double-edged sword." Luna took notes carefully, "Maybe we can develop the takeaway business that the store manager mentioned in the future."

Ye Xu saw this item when checking his notes, and told Luna: "It's not easy to make takeout. The biggest purpose of everyone eating skewers is to eat hot food. If the takeaway is cold after delivery, why don't people just cook it at home and eat it?" What about it? At least you can eat hot food when it’s just out of the pan.”

Takeaway generally requires extra money because it increases operating costs.Ye Xu has done the math here, the robot will charge a little electricity at most for food delivery, and the electricity fee is settled annually, and the price will be reduced if you use it more, so the food delivery will charge you at most one box, and the delivery fee will be saved.

"Then go to other worlds to do takeaways later. The cold weather will be cold, but the high temperature will not." Luna accepts the suggestion humbly.

Shuangshuang smiled and rushed over to her and hugged her: "You won't open a hot pot restaurant in hot weather! Of course you should open a cold food restaurant in that case!"

"Ah, yes, cold food needs to be kept at a cold temperature, so it doesn't seem to work?" Luna frowned, getting into trouble.

Han Ying interrupted coldly: "There are incubators and ice-making machines in the mall."

Luna suddenly realized, and looked at Ye Xu.

"Don't look at me." Ye Xu took two steps back, "The number of delivery staff needs to be scaled up to greatly increase sales. I don't have enough employee vouchers in my hand, and delivery staff are not easy to draw."

Refresh the card pool these days, and rarely meet SR delivery staff.It is a pet that is difficult to draw, and I have met it several times.

Considering that there were already enough cubs in the family, Ye Xu confiscated them.He wants to collect pets with different characteristics in different planes, and the Western fantasy creatures in one water are too monotonous.

Everyone looked away in disappointment.

"Don't be like this, takeaways don't earn points, you can only earn currency, it doesn't matter if you don't open it or not?"

That's right, everyone can't help but suspect that it is difficult to get a delivery person because they don't earn points.The system is using this method to covertly reduce the possibility of the store opening takeaways, so as to avoid a significant decrease in the number of dine-in customers once the takeaways are opened, which will further slow down the progress of earning points.

After figuring this out, their interest in developing new businesses plummeted.

Luna continued to study her economics books, and Hanying Shen looked at the system mall for products that could improve her strength.Shuangshuang doesn't care about the purchases anymore, she just looks here and there when she is bored, and occasionally leans over to help Hanying Shen to buy something.

Although he can get the store dividends every month, the points in Han Yingshen's hands are still not many.Compared with the sky-high prices in the mall, it is completely worthless.

Ye Xu took the time to follow along and found that everything else in the mall was fine, but there was a category for changing bloodlines that was very nice.After purchasing the corresponding bloodline, it can be fused with your own body, which can greatly increase your physical strength, as well as your cultivation talent.

Ye Xu said before that he does not intend to untie the system.If you continue to bind, you will definitely experience many different high-risk planes.

The protective cover provided by the system is really useful, but Ye Xu can't rely on it forever, can he?In case of trouble, you have to rely on pets to suppress it, which is not as convenient as having a strong strength.

However, Ye Xu's family knows his own affairs well, so he probably can't stand the boring practice.Ye Xu is not afraid of spending time and effort, but it is really difficult to bear the boredom.

Is there any way to obtain powerful abilities without practicing?have.

One is taking drugs, that is, the side effects are too great, and the cultivation base is vain after taking drugs, and it can't be used with ease, pass.The other is to change the bloodline, for example, by fusing the bloodline of a divine beast, one can have the strength of a divine beast, and this strength is innate, there is no stagnation in using it, and no need to adapt and master it.

Such a good idea, of course Ye Xu was very moved.However, blood is very expensive.

All bloodlines have a minimum of 1 million points and a maximum of 10 billion points.Ye Xu doubted that the system didn't expect anyone to buy it. With 10 billion points, at least two planes can afford it. After all, there are still points to pay for running a store.

Looking at the 10 billion bloodlines in the mall, Ye Xu let out a sigh.

The most high-end bloodline is worthy of its price, and its advantages are countless.It's a pity that I can't afford it, and I don't know if the next world can get enough points.

Taking advantage of not being discovered by his little thoughts, Ye Xu quickly closed the mall, switched to the entertainment section, and went to watch variety shows to pass the time.

Fifteen days passed like running water, and the accumulation of points was faster than Ye Xu expected.At this time, the first store with the same positioning as him finally opened.

Fortunately, that cheap skewer shop didn't open around Ye Xu.The businessmen in the current city seem to be a little smarter than those in Biyue City, and they are not stupid enough to engage in ineffective internal friction nearby.

The other party opened a store in the other half of the city, and it happened that the common people there would not come all the way to Ye Xu's place to eat skewers, so opening a store there was very promising.Ye Xu was slightly affected, and after paying attention to it for a while, he put it aside.

Then another five days passed for An's birthday, and the second follower also came out.This time there was no good luck like the last time, and the two sides divided the area and it was over. Although his family tried their best to choose a far away location, it also covered part of Ye Xu's area.

This one opened in the south of the city, Ye Xu's in the east of the city, and the second one in the west of the city.This one in the south of the city is bound to snatch customers from mid-to-long distances. After all, the weather is so cold, who wouldn’t be happy if they could travel less.

From this day on, the points received in the store will gradually decrease.

This is just the beginning, and soon a skewer shop will open in the north of the city.The four basically cover the entire area, and it is difficult to avoid each other when opening new ones. The city is still a bit smaller.

Ye Xu checked the accumulated points that night, and it was already more than 9 million, which was only a little short of a billion.He breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter, the reduction in income will require at most ten more days of operation, so it's not a big problem.

"I guess, the next follower will start to sell at lower prices." Ye Xu analyzed.

Price war is an eternal classic and cannot be avoided anywhere.Ye Xu reflected deeply, and felt that he had actually gone the wrong way from the very beginning.

Han Ying Shen was rarely interested, and asked, "How do you say?"

"The advantage of the plane store is in quality control, which can always maintain the top-level food taste. Taking the cheap route will only involve yourself in internal friction, and it is difficult to avoid business impact."

So the best way is actually to take the high-end route.Do top-notch catering at the beginning, and then make rich people's money.

The high-end route only depends on the quality, and no one will fight a price war on it. Low prices will only make rich people think that your products are not good.

"However, the number of customers received by high-end routes is small, and it is difficult to quickly accumulate a large number of points." Luna also came over to join the topic.

Ye Xu nodded: "So the system's requirement is 1 million points, not the upper limit of 10 billion, which relaxes the conditions."

And this aspect is not impossible. If you choose that kind of gourmet desert type plane, the number of points provided by a single customer will be very considerable, which can make up for a small number of shortcomings.

Does Ye Xu really need to accumulate 10 billion points in each plane?In fact, it is not necessary.

Ye Xu has plenty of time, even if he plans to buy top-level bloodlines, he can go to a few more planes and save a little bit of money.I saved enough at the beginning, and there is nowhere to spend so many points later.

"But there's nothing wrong with this now. If you get enough points in the first two worlds, you can relax later. Opening a store is like a vacation." Ye Xu smiled.

Shuangshuang held her face: "It's good to open any store. High-end stores may also have their difficulties? I think it's very good now. If you don't plan to collect 10 billion points in the future, in fact, open a cheap store and let others It’s okay to fight a price war to grab business.”

The life of common people in the current plane is too tight, so the taste is sacrificed for the price.Switching to a modern plane, even if other stores are cheaper, many people will still choose plane shops for the taste.

"Indeed." Ye Xu agreed with this statement, "Then go to modern times in the next plane and continue to take the cheap route to accumulate more points, see the difference in the evaluation routes of different planes, and then go to the next plane to engage in high-end routes. Every time We have to go through all kinds, so that we can know which one is the most suitable for our shop, and it is the most worry-free and labor-saving.”

That said, the future is full of promise.Even if a Chuan Chuan shop with a reduced price was opened the next day, resulting in a sharp drop in the flow of people in the shop, everyone's mood was not affected.

Luna even suggested: "If no one patronizes, change the store back to the previous model to earn money from adventurers. The top-quality ingredients in our store are still very attractive, although this is not a coastal city, everyone is not so greedy for seafood , but inland it is even more difficult to eat fresh seafood, maybe the business is even more booming than before.”

This proposal was not passed at first, because everyone didn't want to make a fuss.It wasn't until a cheap skewer shop opened on the street that Ye Xu started to renovate it.

Seeing that the number of customers in the store is getting smaller and smaller, and it will take several days to earn the last points if this continues, everyone is very anxious.It's not bad to switch back to the high-end mode, hurry up and leave after earning, they are all tired of staying here.

The robot who has done promotion before going out is familiar with the road. This time, it will be broadcast on another channel to promote top seafood and unlimited Warcraft meat. It will definitely attract a wave of adventurers.For pricing, refer to other high-end hot pot restaurants around, don't make it too maverick, and save yourself some trouble.

"Then just ignore those who follow suit?" Shuangshuang was still not very happy.She has the temper of a little girl, she treasures her candy very much, and hates whoever grabs it.

Ye Xu didn't care, those people didn't use any shady means, it was just normal business competition.However, there is one thing he has always wanted to do, which may affect the interests of those people, and it seems not very kind.

"I want to study several cheap, delicious and easy-to-make base materials, and teach them to the common people for free." Ye Xu said, "In this way, they can make hot pot at home in the future, and they don't need to go out to blow cold air, and they can save more money. "

Ye Xu wanted to promote hot pot when he first chose the continent of Transit.After leaving the plane left and right, you will never see those competitors again, so it doesn't matter if you offend them.

All kinds of hot pot base recipes in modern society are rotten, which shows that the spread of such information is unavoidable.That being the case, Ye Xu didn't mind pushing ahead.

As for whether the business of the follower will be affected by this, Ye Xu has no control over it.When he followed suit and opened a store, he didn't consider whether his business would be affected. If he is not the Holy Father, why should he care about others?He's done when he's happy.

"There should be relevant information in the system mall." Ye Xu opened the mall, "I want to find several different flavors, and it's best not to use the expensive "spices" of the Transit mainland in the base material, and everything should be low-cost. .By the way, tomatoes are not allowed, and the aborigines still think it is a poisonous fruit. "

——The bottom of the tomato pot in Ye Xu’s shop has never been cracked, but there are similar substitutes for other flavors.

Everyone spontaneously came to help find it, and when they found something that looked good, they went to the back kitchen to try making it.It is necessary to ensure that the taste of the real thing is good, so that it can be recorded and announced together before leaving.
