"Fourth, what are you holding in your hand? Those fish balls again? It's not like we don't have anything to eat at home, why did you go out to buy it again?" Li Guangxin sat on the main seat and said to Li Minghu. Hearing what his father said, Li Minghu said nonchalantly: "It's just some fish balls. It doesn't cost much. If we don't have food to go with the wine later, what can we eat if we don't buy fish balls? Let's get some fish tonight, too." Sell ??the pills and get some boiled peanuts, maybe there will be some sales, and you can make a lot of money. But I see those people selling this stuff outside are making a lot of money." Li Minghu said this, and Li Guangxin was not happy: " You see them making money? Why don't you see them working hard? You think it doesn't take time to cook fish balls? Our current manpower can't even do it in a tea restaurant, and you don't want to do this. If you really do it, you can run faster than anyone else. What you say is like saying nothing." With a simple sentence, Li Mingbao, who was still thinking about what to do, suddenly understood. My family is a tea restaurant, which is relatively pure. After the guests have eaten in the evening, the tea restaurant can be closed, and the business hours are only around 11 o'clock at most. On this street, many food shops operate a food business during the day, and rent the shops to those who serve late-night snacks at night. Although they are the same shop, they operate different items. During the day and night, 20 For four hours, there was no word of closing. When the night snack stalls closed, it was exactly the time when the food makers opened during the day. I have never done this in my own tea restaurant. First, because this tea restaurant is different from other stores. Most of the owners of those stores are renters. It doesn¡¯t matter if those owners sublet it again. But the tea restaurant But it was bought by the Li family and my father felt uncomfortable renting it out. Another reason was that although the Li family was short of money before, they were not short of that, and my father was not very happy to make such a small amount of money. But now the conversation between his fourth brother and his father has given Li Mingbao a good idea. Dad's reason is indeed true. Everyone else in the family has their own jobs. If you make midnight snacks at night, the family will really be too busy. But things are different now. Li Mingbao feels that if he takes over the late-night snack business, he might be able to achieve different results. After all, the initiative in making late-night snacks lies in his own hands. If he really agrees to his father to work in a tea restaurant during the day, then taking the initiative The power lies in the hands of his father, which is not good for his own development. Now that he had made up his mind, Li Mingbao no longer worried about what his father would say later, and simply sat down in his seat next to his fourth brother. When the eldest brother lowered the door of the tea restaurant, the family dinner officially began. Although it was said to be a family banquet and celebration, the dishes were not very sumptuous. The dishes on the table were all unsold during the day. They just happened to be brought here to destroy them. Anyway, they were not bad. With Uncle Xu's care, the taste was still the same. Want to be good. After three drinks and five dishes, Li Guangxin, who was sitting at the top, put down his chopsticks and said to Li Mingbao: "Xiao Wu, this incident can be regarded as a lesson for you. When it is over, it is over. From now on, Ah, we have to look forward. You are almost better now. What are your plans for the future? " After Li Guangxin asked, Li Mingbao knew that the topic was coming, so he did not have any stage fright and said to his father: "Dad, what happened this time? , has really had a great impact on me. I have been confused outside these years and brought a lot of trouble to my family. I would like to apologize to my father, mother, brothers and sisters. Don¡¯t worry, from now on, I will Decide to be a good person and never cause trouble to the family again." After saying that, Li Mingbao filled his glass with wine and drank it all in one breath. "It's great that Xiaowu has such an idea. But forget it about apologizing. Didn't Zhou Chu have his youthful and frivolous moments? If he changed it, that would be fine. What do you plan to do in the future?" Li Guangxinrao He asked with interest. Regarding his son, Li Guangxin used to have a lot of headaches, but since Li Mingbao came out of the hospital, he has keenly felt that Li Mingbao has changed a lot, and now he has said this. , I think Li Mingbao has really changed. Although Li Mingbao has shortcomings like this, he has never fulfilled his words. If he can say it, he can definitely do it. "Dad, didn't you talk to Fourth Brother about fish balls before? I think it might be a good way for me to do late-night snack business recently." Li Mingbao expressed his thoughts at this time. "What, you want to sell fish balls?" Li Guangxin asked in surprise. Although he had thought about letting Li Mingbao work in the tea restaurant at home before, but that was to let Li Mingbao work in the tea restaurant. But now Li Mingbao wants to make fish balls. Although it is also in the tea restaurant, this time Change?. "No, I'm in the late-night snack business, not the fish ball business, and I don't know how to make those things. Besides, there are not twenty but eighteen fish balls on this street selling fish balls at night. There are so many people, and I am If we are new, business may not be much better, and our store will be wasted." Li Mingbao denied his father's statement. ¡°If you don¡¯t sell fish balls, fried noodles or the like for late-night snacks, then what do you want to sell?¡± The eldest brother Li Mingyao also interrupted at this time. As the current manager of Li Ji Tea Restaurant, although Li Mingyao has not engaged in supper, it is pure nonsense to say that he does not understand it at all. After so many years of business, he definitely has an in-depth understanding of the catering business in Hong Kong. The late night snacks here in Hong Kong are either fish balls, fried minced noodles, or fried rice snails. Apart from these late night snacks, what else can be sold? Seeing his eldest brother speaking, Li Mingbao didn't hold back and explained: "I don't know, eldest brother, do you still remember the barbecue we had at Uncle Chen's place one night?" "Barbecue? Do you want to make barbecue? That thing we It's okay to eat it yourself, it suits our taste, but people here in Hong Kong may not eat that food. After all, it has a strong taste, and everyone here eats it very lightly. If you really want to do this business, you may not be better than selling it. Fish balls are good," Li Mingyao said with a frown. "The barbecue Uncle Chen made last time was for us to eat, but if we eat it for people outside, we don't need to add so many condiments, and the taste will naturally be much lighter. In this way, people here in Hong Kong will definitely I like it. After all, Hong Kong people are always more receptive to fresh food," Li Mingbao continued. Regarding the tastes of Hong Kong people, Li Mingbao has two memories. With mutual support, he definitely knows more deeply than even veteran caterers like his elder brother. The people here have extraordinary tastes. Except for airplanes, everything that flies in the sky, cars that run on the ground, and submarines that swim in the water, Hong Kong people have never been inferior to others as long as they are edible. , let alone barbecue, no matter how weird the taste is, they all want to try it. The people in that memory came to Hong Kong after the return of Hong Kong. When they went to eat snacks in the evening, they always ate barbecue and other things. This proves that Hong Kong people do not eat barbecue. "You're going to have a barbecue for your late night snack? It's not a bad idea. It proves that you didn't come up with it on the fly. But have you ever thought about how to do it?" Li Guangxin also asked at this time. What is the specific situation? Li Mingbao was a little dumbfounded at this time. He only came up with the idea of ??making barbecue on the spur of the moment. He really didn't know the specific situation. But if he said that, his father would definitely not be able to pass the test, so Li Mingbao immediately thought about making the barbecue a selling point. Fortunately, this thing does not have many profound skills. After thinking about it based on his memory, Li Mingbao immediately made a preliminary plan. With the idea in mind, Li Mingbao started talking: "In my opinion, barbecue is not too complicated, it is easy to learn, and there are many profit points. Kebab is one profit point, but the other is The profit point lies in the drinks. The investment is very small, and it only requires a barbecue grill and some fuel. The tea restaurants already have the materials. When the time comes, relying on the tea restaurant's purchase channels, problems such as raw materials such as tables, chairs and benches can be solved. We also have ready-made stuff at home. As long as we can make skewers well, it is not difficult to make a profit. In addition, there are very few such things in Hong Kong now, and the pressure of competition is also very small. I think It¡¯s easier to expand quickly.¡± After hearing what Li Mingbao said, everyone in the Li family understood the benefits of barbecue. If it can really cater to the tastes of Hong Kong people, there is no way this barbecue will not make money. ¡°You just said that barbecue has two profit points, can you explain it in detail?¡± Li Mingyao asked with interest. "I won't go into details about the profits of barbecue skewers. Brother, you should also understand that even if I pay 20 cents for a skewer of vegetarian dishes and 50 cents for a skewer of meat dishes, the profit will be very high. I think the main profit point of barbecue is It¡¯s about drinks. Grilled skewers are inherently dry things. After eating grilled skewers, guests will definitely want to drink. Just like when we went there last time, we didn¡¯t eat much grilled skewers, but drank a lot of wine. For things like wine, we want to make big profits. Even if we sell them at a low price, we can still make a lot. Besides, I have no intention of selling wine at a low price. The profit will definitely be very considerable. I will add 10 cents to each bottle of wine. It will definitely not be less," Li Mingbao said. "I said, Xiao Wu, I didn't see it. You actually have a lot of business talent? If it's like you said, the money you make from the barbecue stall will definitely be huge. It seems that besides fighting, you , There are still advantages in other places." At this time, Li Mingbao's second sister Li Mingqin also joked.
