Catering God

Chapter 72: Potato Crust Imitated

After the pot boils, the waiter uses a colander to scoop red soup for each person and pours it into a bowl that has been prepared with coriander, chopped green onions, minced garlic, crispy peas and other seasonings as a dipping sauce.

"It's ready to eat."

The waiter took the pot lid and left.

Jiang Feng picked a bullfrog for each of Chen Jingyu and Gao Jiayuan.

The two girls looked at the bullfrog in the bowl and suddenly looked at each other in confusion.

If you look closely at the bullfrog's four legs, they seem somewhat familiar, and after being skinned and boiled, the bones are somewhat separated, making it look even more hideous.

Jiang Feng seemed to see what the two girls were thinking and said with a smile, "It was my first time eating bullfrog and I was a little hesitant to eat it. But after trying it, I realized it was really delicious."

Many foods are difficult for first-time tasters to accept.

In addition to bullfrogs, there are also rabbit heads, snake meat, insects and the like.

But in fact, as long as you overcome that psychological barrier, you can experience the fun of this kind of food.

Gao Jiayuan was still a little hesitant.

However, with Jiang Feng's encouragement, Chen Jingyu gently peeled off a piece of bullfrog thigh meat with chopsticks, then put it into her mouth and chewed it gently twice. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

It doesn’t have the fishy smell that you might imagine, and the taste is very clean, just like chicken, but very smooth and tender.

It almost slides directly from the tip of the tongue into the stomach. This level of smoothness is unmatched by many meats.

Combined with the spicy and fresh flavor of hot pot, the spicy stimulation comes and the appetite is immediately whetted.

Seeing Chen Jingyu's expression change drastically, Gao Jiayuan quickly asked, "Jingyu, is it really delicious?"

"Mmm, it's delicious. Yuanyuan, you should try it too."

Gao Jiayuan finally plucked up the courage and took a bite. She was also surprised: "Wow, the bullfrog looked scary, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"

Then things got out of control.

Finished the hot pot.

Jiang Feng said to Gao Jiayuan, "Jiayuan, why don't you take a taxi back first? Jingyu and I have something to do."

Yuan Huatian instantly became alert and looked at Jiang Feng with a defensive look: "It's so late, do you two have anything else to do?"

Jiang Feng said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll send you back first."

I should have known not to bring this light bulb.

……

Without Chen Jingyu's support behind the scenes, Jiang Feng's Guoba Potato Shop was instantly reduced to its original state, selling less than a hundred servings a day.

But in the next few days.

Jiang Feng follows the normal marketing strategy.

Extensive publicity was carried out in schools and around stores.

Because of its completely different taste from Tiancan potatoes, coupled with the exclusive recipe prepared by Jiang Feng, Guoba potatoes quickly became famous in the snack street and attracted many consumers.

Two hundred free redemption promotional cards were distributed every day, and almost half of the people came to get them for free. The daily sales volume gradually increased from more than one hundred copies to more than two hundred copies, and then to over three hundred copies.

The daily sales volume increased very quickly.

Jiang Feng began to slowly reduce the number of free redemption coupons issued daily, but daily sales continued to grow.

"We sell 350 boxes of crispy rice potatoes for three yuan a box every day, and our sales have already exceeded 1,000 yuan!"

Tang Wenjun took the account book and told Jiang Feng the good news with great surprise.

He made a calculation.

With a daily turnover of 1000 yuan and a monthly sales of 3 yuan, the gross profit is about 1.95 yuan.

After deducting the water, electricity, labor costs, and rent, although this store belongs to Jiang Feng, the rent still needs to be deducted when calculating the profit.

The two shop assistants have a total salary of 4000 yuan, and his own salary is 2000 yuan plus 10% of the net profit.

Before Jiang Feng bought this store, the monthly rent was 75 yuan per square meter, for a total rent of 2250 yuan.

It also includes miscellaneous expenses such as water and electricity.

If he can successfully sell 12000 yuan a month, Jiang Feng can get about 3000 yuan, and he can also get a basic salary and commission of about yuan.

Seeing Tang Wenjun being so responsible, Jiang Feng was quite satisfied.

This is the role of the store manager.

It doesn't mean that Tang Jun needs to stay in the store every day. He only needs to inspect the store every day, record sales and non-business income, communicate with store staff in a timely manner, and adjust promotional activities.

Whenever the store encounters a situation or a clerk encounters an accident, the first person to be notified is Tang Wenjun. If Tang Wenjun can solve the problem, he will do so himself.

Only those that cannot be solved will be reported to Jiang Feng.

Instead of reporting every detail to Jiang Feng, the boss behind the scenes.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Don't be too proud, because we just finished the promotion. After the hype dies down, the most important thing is whether we can retain our old customers. My plan for this store is to achieve this daily sales figure in a month."

He held up two fingers.

Tang Wenjun was surprised and said, "Two thousand a day? Is it possible to sell that much?"

To sell 2,000 copies a day, we need to sell at least 600 copies, which is almost double the current sales volume.

Jiang Feng smacked his lips and said calmly, "It's a small amount. I haven't set any higher requirements yet. If things go well, selling 2,000 a day won't be difficult."

Not to mention selling rice crust potatoes, even those street vendors selling roasted gluten in later generations could make two thousand yuan a day, and that was a lot.

He went to great lengths to open a store and hired so many employees, but if he couldn't make more than two thousand yuan a day, he might as well kill himself by hitting himself with a piece of tofu.

Tang Wenjun thought about it and boldly expressed his thoughts:

"If we want to increase sales, I have another idea. I've noticed that many customers buy drinks after eating our crispy rice potatoes. We can put a Coke machine in the store. If possible, we can also put a sausage machine. We can use frozen sausages and puree the Coke. The cost is not high. This is not only simple to operate, but also can increase revenue without affecting our product category."

Jiang Feng nodded:
"can."

After only running the shop for about a week, Tang Wenjun's business ability has begun to grow under Jiang Feng's guidance.

……

September 16th.

Hanchuan University’s military training drill was officially launched.

The half-month military training also came to an end on this day.

"Many people around here have started to imitate our rice crust potatoes." Tang Wenjun said to Jiang Feng worriedly.

The preparation method of Guoba Potato is not difficult, and the seasoning method is not much different from the previous Tiancan Potato. The only difference is that the fried potato wolf teeth are changed into fried potato cubes.

The vendors selling Tiancan potatoes outside saw that the business of "Fengwei Guoba Potatoes" was so good, and they also rushed over to check it out. After eating it twice, they could basically make similar products by imitating it.

Although the taste is not as good as Jiang Feng’s, it is cheaper.

Because most of them use carts to set up stalls, there are no costs such as rent, and one person is operating the business. For the same amount of rice-crusted potatoes, Jiang Feng sells them for 3 yuan, while they only sell them for 2 yuan.

1 yuan can buy a sausage.

Jiang Feng's shop has begun to be affected.
