After the store was rented out, Qi Sheng took his eldest son to stop selling for a few days, now it is almost January, and the lo mei shop must be opened as soon as possible, and there will be a lot of sales during the Chinese New Year.
Together, the two repainted the walls of the lo mei shop first, and ordered the counter and transparent baffles. With the baffles, they can block the dust, and students don’t have to worry about getting dirty when they crowd together. It is convenient for people outside to see the inside at a glance, and the hygienic quality is guaranteed.
Qi Sheng had already planned it out, so he set aside a small section at the other end of the counter to sell meat sandwiches and fried chicken chops. Selling several kinds of food together can also increase the traffic of each other.
After the decoration of the store was completed, Qi Sheng first prepared the marinade and asked the eldest son to go to the wholesale market to buy ingredients. After a busy week, the two will get everything ready.
On Monday, Qi Sheng and Qi Xiangdong still come over at 5:30 as usual, they can sell meat sandwiches and fried chicken cutlets first in the morning, and wait until noon and evening to start selling lo-mei.
There are many loyal fans of their family. I saw them decorating the store before, and I came to ask a few times, so they opened today, and the students were very supportive. The prepared noodle cakes were sold out quickly.
"Dad, with the storefront, we can sell more of our Roujiamo!"
Qi Xiangdong is a little happy. The most important thing is that he doesn't have to push the cart back and forth every day. Even if the distance is not far, it is still very tiring. Now it is much easier to do it directly in the shop, and it is cold. It is better to stand on the street. The store is comfortable!
After the breakfast time, Qi Sheng started to marinate some meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. Because it is the trial sale stage, there are not many of them.
When the students came to buy Roujiamo at noon, Qi Sheng asked his son to give them a little stewed vegetables for every portion he sold. Curious students couldn’t help weighing a few taels of duck necks, chicken wings and duck racks. Can't help but praise.
These stewed vegetables can be eaten directly as a meal. Some students have tasted the taste and couldn't help but buy a regular version of Roujiamo, and then weigh each kind of stewed vegetables. It is just right to eat them with the stewed vegetables!
The stewed vegetables were sold out very quickly, and the students were very sorry, many of them told Qi Sheng to make more at night, so that they could order some to take home, Qi Sheng naturally nodded and said yes.
Braised vegetables caught the hearts of students and their parents on the first day. Compared with Roujiamo, which is like a snack, braised vegetables can be eaten directly as a vegetable. Many working families just buy steamed buns and tell their children to buy some braised vegetables to eat together after school every day. .
When the students are about to go on vacation, many parents come to ask him in the name of picking up their children if they can order some stewed meat and vegetables. They will give them a taste when they visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. The southeast braised meat has become the heart of the parents of students in this area. it is good!
Qi Sheng had asked the two children where to celebrate the new year before.
"Or, let's stay in Beijing for the New Year!" Qi Xiangdong was delighted, he was more willing to stay and experience the excitement of the big city than to go back to his hometown and brag about what happened in the past six months to his buddies!
Qi Sheng has no objection, the Qi family doesn't have many relatives who can move around, so it doesn't matter if they go back or not.
Qi Xiangnan has no objection either, his father is home wherever he is, and it is their family whether he goes back or not.
So the family of three happily decided to stay in Beijing for the New Year, so when a customer came to order braised pork, Qi Sheng naturally agreed, but to be on the safe side, he asked the buyer to confirm the specific price and pay a deposit.
When the students were on vacation, the father and son worked together to prepare the previous orders.
Because stewed meat is better to eat now and should not be stored for too long, Qi Sheng decided to prepare the required materials first, and when the buyer needs it, he will come and inform the buyer one day in advance, so that they can pick up the stewed meat now.
Qi Sheng also asked someone to order some packaging bags, with the logo of "Southeast Lo Mei" printed on them, which is not only convenient for buyers to give gifts, but also convenient for their family to promote their products.
After working hard for about five months, now that he can finally take a breather during the Chinese New Year, Qi Sheng specially gave his two sons 300 pocket money each, so that they can go out and have fun.
Qi Sheng summed it up. After five months of hard work, after excluding the rent, water, electricity and daily expenses, they still have a net surplus of 10,000 yuan. With this good start, they will get better and better in the future. The son talked about it, and now all the money he earns is placed with him, so that it will be convenient for him to open branches later to expand his business.
Qi Xiangdong has been working with his father for five months, and he deeply feels that his father is very good at doing business, he is decisive and unique in his skills, he must be right to listen to his father's words, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with not getting any money after working hard for half a year. He doesn't have a family yet, and he doesn't value money so much. Anyway, his father won't treat him badly.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, Qi Sheng took his two sons to a relatively large department store nearby, intending to buy some Chinese New Year gifts for the two sons.
"Let's go, let's see what you want? Watches, radios, bicycles... within three hundred, no problem!"
Qi Xiangdong's eyes lit up, looking at the counters excitedly, thinking about what would be the best to buy. watch? Although it looks cool, he still has to work, and it is inconvenient to wear a watch. It is better to have a tape recorder, and he can also buy tapes to play songs and listen to radio broadcasts!
Qi Xiangdong quickly chose what he wanted to buy, but Qi Xiangnan was a little hesitant. Qi Sheng knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Just tell me what you want, what's the problem with Dad spending money for you!"
"Dad, I want a tape recorder too!" Finally, Qi Xiangnan said what was in his heart. He didn't dare to ask his dad for anything casually before, but sometimes he couldn't help but want to ask his dad for it just like his elder brother. Now that his father loves him so much, he also wants to be willful for a while.
"Okay, no problem, let's go and see the style you want."
One sentence successfully made the two of them walk quickly to the counter selling radio recorders, seeing several styles on it, and one of them picked out the one he liked.
Qi Sheng paid the money and looked at his two sons hugging each other and wanted to laugh. It's only the single way of entertainment that makes them so rare!
Qi Sheng bought a new set of clothes for each of them, as well as fruit snacks to eat during the Chinese New Year. He made a lot of money this year, so he had to let them have a good New Year first!
During the Chinese New Year, the streets and alleys of Beijing are covered with red lanterns, and the ban on fireworks is not very strict now, so there are many fireworks display, which is a novelty for them. There are also large-scale open-air performances in some places. In short, the New Year in Beijing successfully made the three of Qi's family watch it lively!
Apart from making orders for the buyers, Qi Sheng didn't take care of his eldest son, now that he's quite sensible, he won't mess around outside. The youngest son is even more well-behaved, either reading at home or walking around with him.
Before Chinese New Year, Qi Sheng called his neighbor in his hometown and asked him to help look after the house. The relationship between the two families is pretty good. Qi Sheng explained it before he left, and this time he sent them some new year gifts by the way. .
When the new year is over, it will be another busy year for the Qi family and his son, but it will also be a bumper year!
