There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 589

Just like what Shen Fang told a few people, he really has never managed such a small amount of funds in his life.Although it is said that there are 1 Thai baht in a thick stack, it is only about [-] yuan in RMB.And the money was the start-up capital for the six of them to open their shop.

Fifty thousand baht, what can I buy?
Looking at the lack of tableware in the restaurant, the empty refrigerator, and the equally empty wine rack, Shen Fang felt that the money was not enough.According to Shen Fang's calculations, this amount of money is not even enough for the wine rack.

Since the bartender is also taken care of, at least a few bottles of base wine must be bought, plus some wine ingredients, which will cost tens of thousands of baht, and it is not possible to buy some very good base wine.

Fortunately, the equipment inside the bar is quite complete. Wang Tian probably wanted to show off Shen Fang's talent in this area, so he prepared a standard bartender bar for him.

You can buy less alcohol, but looking at the long note that Qin Mohan and Zhang Liang listed, Shen Fang felt that the shopkeeper must be not easy.

"Come on, let's go to the supermarket, we're going to go shopping."

In the only warehouse-style supermarket on Koh Chang, the local government has already greeted the supermarket, and the film crew can follow up to shoot.

Six people, divided into three groups, pushed three oversized shopping carts.Qin Mohan also divided the items on the shopping list into three parts. Shen Fang and Jin Mengjia purchased the daily necessities on the list, Qin Mohan and Tang Yixin purchased drinks and food, and the remaining two men purchased bulky items.

Before they parted, Shen Fang said something that made Qin Mohan astonished, and then smiled: "When you buy things, pay attention to the price, don't exceed it, we don't have much start-up capital."

"Haha, Sister Yixin, we are here." Qin Mohan smiled as he dragged Tang Yixin to the drink area.

Shen Fang and Jin Mengjia bought corresponding sanitary ware, tableware and some daily necessities in the daily necessities area. Every time Shen Fang picked up one, he looked at the string of zeros on it and couldn't help but put it down.

Jin Mengjia mentioned the Tempo tissue made in Germany and asked Shen Fang for his opinion: "Shopkeeper Shen, let's buy this tissue."

Shen Fang couldn't help having a headache. He never cared about the price when buying things before, and he felt a little pain when he saw the price of 400 baht on the price tag.

"400 yuan, only 12 packs, a bit too extravagant."

"Shopkeeper, this one has 240 draws, 400 baht, which is about 80 yuan in RMB, which is not expensive."

"What a girl who is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive firewood is. We have a total of 24 baht." Shen Fang said, putting it back, and then picked up a local Thai tissue paper next to him: "Buy this, 150 packs only It costs [-] baht, and it’s only one piece more than one pack when you transfer RMB.”

"Oh, okay." Jin Mengjia pouted and took one.

The two of them wandered around the living area for a long time, but they didn't buy a few things, and they didn't buy any tableware.The price of porcelain from Huaxia in the supermarket is too high. According to the cost of ten sets of tableware that Zhang Liang ordered, it would cost tens of thousands of yuan.

"Ah, why did you just buy such a small amount of things?" After several people reunited, Qin Mohan looked at Shen Fang and the two and couldn't help but ask.

An aggrieved Jin Mengjia complained to Qin Mohan: "Sister Mohan, this shopkeeper Shen is too stingy. When I picked up something, he shook his head after looking at it and said: It's too expensive, too expensive. Then he put it back for me. "While complaining, he also imitated Shen Fang's posture, which made Qin Mohan and Tang Yixin couldn't help laughing.

Jin Mengjia, who didn't care about the complaint, looked at their two shopping carts full of items with a painful face. Zhang Liang's one was better, with large barrels of cooking oil and large seasonings in it.But when he looked at Qin Mohan's food cart, he silently made a small calculation in his heart.Then he took out the two most expensive bottles of red wine inside.

"This brand of wine doesn't taste good. It's just a Bordeaux brand. The price is high and the taste is not good." Seeing that the wine area is not far away, he went directly to change two bottles: "This Spanish red wine is considered a good wine at this price. It’s a good quality and cheap one, and it’s still drinkable.”

"Cut, show off." Although Qin Mohan spoke disdainfully, he still took it kindly and put it in the shopping cart.But when she saw that Shen Fang was about to take out a bag of 10 sausages from the Black Forest of Germany that she had chosen, she directly objected: "This is for our employees' meals. At worst, we can buy it with our pocket money."

Shen Fang refused righteously: "No, maybe your pocket money will be used to purchase goods. Didn't you see that I only bought some paper towels and the like? I just asked Ajie , There is a big bazaar here, we will go there later to buy tableware and tableware." Ajie is one of the taxi drivers they hired.

"Three, just keep three, okay? There are six of us, half a stick each." Qin Mohan grabbed the bag, and pitifully stretched out three fingers to Shen Fang.

Shen Fang couldn't help laughing, and finally agreed to Qin Mohan's request and kept all the bags, Qin Mohan cried out excitedly.

At the end of the checkout, there were three carts of goods, totaling [-] baht. Half of the start-up capital had been spent, and the tableware and dishes for tomorrow's opening had not been purchased, but only a few ingredients for today's trial dishes.

At noon, they ordered some Yangchun noodles and fried three black forest sausages that Qin Mohan specially requested to buy. Each of them shared half of one. After eating, Jin Mengjia and Tang Yixin gave Qin Mohan a thumbs up.

There is no tableware, and several people use small pots and fast food boxes to share food. Even bamboo sticks are used for chopsticks, which is particularly inconvenient.

"Zhang Liang, let's go buy tableware together and let them tidy up in the restaurant."

After a simple lunch, Shen Fang took Zhang Liang to go shopping together, because he rarely went to the bazaar to buy things alone, and he was not very good at haggling with others.When buying things in the bazaar, sometimes you have to bargain in half, otherwise the price will be more expensive than what you buy in the supermarket.

Zhang Liangliang nodded. Although it was very hot outside, the boss took the initiative to go, and he had no reason to shirk: "Okay, I just asked Ajie about it. There is a big seafood market over there. Let's take a look." Is there anything that can be the main course tomorrow."

Watching Shen Fang and Zhang Liang leave, Jin Mengjia couldn't help but asked Qin Mohan, "Sister Mohan, is Shopkeeper Shen usually this stingy?"

"Haha. Jiajia, you are the first to say that our boss is stingy."

Jin Mengjia belongs to Mango Platform and is not very familiar with the inside of the Wild Fox Company, but Tang Yixin and Yu Xiaotong, who are part of the Wild Fox System, clearly know how generous their boss is.

Qin Mohan explained to Jin Mengjia, who was a little confused: "He is usually careless, but if he confirms something, he is still a serious person. Since he is in charge of our start-up funds, he will calculate clearly, so he will care about everything."

"Okay, we have to get ready for work." Qin Mohan connected his Walkman to the audio area, and then began to divide the work among several people: "Little boy, you are a boy, and you are responsible for transporting the fried rice you just bought to the kitchen , Yixin, you are in charge of organizing the tables and chairs outside. I bought some tablecloths and you helped spread them. Jiajia, you and I organize the kitchen utensils and condiments in the kitchen. We need to put them in place. "

Qin Mohan showed the style of a store manager, and organized the work in an orderly manner. With the music played in his memory, everyone began to get busy:
"La di da di da da
La di da di da da
......"

"Sister Mohan, I like your song the most."

"Thank you, I like it too." Qin Mohan nodded his thanks, and then brought over the job of cutting the onion: "Jiajia, forget it, cut the onion for me, otherwise people will think that you are crying excitedly listening to my song. "

……

In the bazaar, Shen Fang finally found relatively cheap tableware. These are just simple white porcelain or glazed porcelain, which are completely suitable for use in restaurants.After all, it is just an ordinary restaurant, and it is not so extravagant to use bone china for serving dishes.

While shopping, the two listened to the remote control instructions of several people in the store. Sometimes they asked them to buy brooms, and sometimes they asked them to buy garbage bags. Finally, they went back and forth several times before buying everything.

In the seafood market, Zhang Liang showed his housekeeping skills as a chef. No matter whether any seafood is fresh or not, he can tell it clearly at a glance, and he can formulate the dishes he will cook according to the size of a fish.

After buying a fish head, a few lobsters, and a few crabs, the two started their return journey.Although this trip was only purchased at the bazaar, it still cost more than 8000 baht.Without any profit, everyone's start-up capital is only more than 1 yuan left.Shen Fang considered that he still had to keep the cost of preparing the ingredients tomorrow morning, plus a certain reserve fund, which was a bit stretched.

"We're back……"

Another cartload of items was purchased, Shen Fang and Zhang Liang were sweating profusely, and the winking Jin Mengjia hurriedly offered two cups of cool water.Originally, Jin Mengjia chose a piece of Evian mineral water, but Shen Fang ruthlessly put it back.

Considering the need to provide drinking water to customers, Shen Fang bought two 5-gallon barrels of mineral water.In this country with relatively developed water resources, the price of two barrels of mineral water is about the same as a bottle of Evian.

"Well, the taste of this water is not bad, it doesn't feel worse than Evian's." Shen Fang drank it all in one gulp, and then said to Jin Mengjia.

Jin Mengjia took the cup and said to Shen Fang: "Treasurer, if this season's program is broadcast, you will definitely overturn countless viewers' impressions of you. I guess you will have a new nickname..."

At this moment, Qin Mohan and Tang Yixin followed Jin Mengjia and said in unison: "Shen Xiaoyu! Hahaha."

Not only the three of them, but even Zhang Liang and several film crew members who followed them to purchase were rocking with laughter.Only Shen Fang said indifferently: "We still have 6000 baht left, and we haven't bought the vegetables for tomorrow. We don't know how the business will be tomorrow, and whether we can make money. How dare we spend it recklessly."

After a busy afternoon, and most of the work was hard work, everyone was already hungry, and they were going to try dishes.

As a chef, Zhang Liang made casserole fish head and spicy crab, Tang Yixin made the special twice-cooked pork, and Jin Mengjia followed the steps taught by his mother to start making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Of course, Zhang Liang directed more on the spot.

Qin Mohan and Shen Fang didn't cook. Qin Mohan was squeezing juice. Thailand's abundant fruit resources allowed Qin Mohan to see business opportunities. The store will provide freshly squeezed juice as the main drink.

Shen Fang took out a bartending tool. Although the base wine was average and the variety was small, Shen Fang still made a few good cocktails under the admiring gaze of the kid. Mojito, Riesling, and Miami were considered the best. The drinks that were popular with several people were also recommended by Qin Mohan as the main drink in the store.

In order to celebrate the official opening of the Chinese restaurant, Qin Mohan opened a bottle of the two bottles of red wine that Shen Fang exchanged, poured it into a glass, and tasted it carefully. It was really good.Qin Mohan gave Shen Fang a thumbs up.

"Cheers!" As the store manager, Qin Mohan raised his glass, and then gave a speech: "This glass of wine celebrates the official establishment of our Chinese restaurant. As the store manager, thank you, we will work together for the next 20 days of profitability! Come on!"

If there is a little bit of a secondary atmosphere, it will be more inspiring, especially on variety shows, Zhang Liang, Tang Yixin and others also echoed and toasted together.Under Qin Mohan's threatening gaze, Shen Fang also raised his cup, wishing the success of the program recording together.

Maybe it's because I'm really hungry, maybe it's because Zhang Liang's cooking skills are really good. The casserole fish head and spicy crab have won unanimous praise from everyone, and they are the main dishes.Tang Yixin's twice-cooked pork basically meets the requirements of restaurants and can be used as a regular dish.Jin Mengjia's scrambled eggs with tomatoes were still a bit lacking, and Qin Mohan finally added special dishes to comfort her.You must make an appointment, and most people can't eat it yet.

After eating, several people were assigned work by Qin Mohan. Seeing that the restaurants on the beach were already open for business, Zhang Liang and Yu Xiaotong were arranged by Qin Mohan to inquire about the prices of other restaurants so that she could write menus and set prices.

Jin Mengjia and Tang Yixin tested the dishwasher again.In the end, the two came to the conclusion that although this dishwasher can meet the needs of washing and disinfection, the speed is a bit slow. If there are really many customers and the table needs to be turned over, the two still have to wash the dishes by hand.

This has been much better than Jin Mengjia expected.After a busy day, they can put all the dirty dishes inside instead of dragging their tired bodies to wash the dishes. They are already very satisfied.

Shen Fang, on the other hand, was holding a guitar and was pulled by Qin Mohan to play and sing on the beach at the door, in order to attract passing tourists and inform them that a restaurant on his side was about to open.Shen Fang thought about it, the infection of the guitar was too small, and on this empty beach, it was not likely to attract the attention of tourists.He called the two crew members of the two film crews together, set up the electronic organ to the door, connected the stereo, and began to sing:
"It''s been so long
it's been so long
That I haven't seen your face
I've never seen your face

I''m tryna'' be strong
i try to be strong
But the strength I have is washing away
But the power I have is fading
......"

Sure enough, the music sounded here, and many passing tourists were attracted. Tang Yixin and Jin Mengjia, together with Qin Mohan, gave some Chinese-style trinkets they brought from China to the surrounding tourists and told them The restaurant will open tomorrow, and they are welcome to come and taste it.
