Chapter 288 General card, blood profit

In the private room, the sound of the piano was faint, and Qing Wu was playing the pipa and humming a ditty, very intoxicated.

It was the first time that Li Xian and Lin Qingsheng ate this novel food. They didn't pay attention to it, and their faces were flushed. Especially Lin Qingsheng seemed to be unable to eat spicy food, and his lips felt like sausages.

However, after eating for two-quarters of an hour, Li Xian and Lin Qingsheng both knew how to eat hot pot, and Qing Wu was not busy.

Among them, the mutton slices were consumed the fastest, so Li Xian offered to ask for another portion.

Listening to the ditty and eating hot pot, Li Xian and the two felt that they had never been so happy eating out, especially since they felt full enough. After taking a break to relax, their eyes couldn't help but glance at Qing Wu, looking at That beautiful face and graceful figure immediately felt pleasing to the eye and in a good mood.

Li Xian and Lin Qingsheng ate this hot pot for half an hour. Among them, they ordered two more portions of their favorite mutton slices. Under Qing Wu's promotion, they also ordered a pot of good tea and a pot of tea. Sake.

The final settlement was the box fee + Qing Wu's service fee + hot pot fee, a total of five dollars.

This amount of money was five months' salary for the soldiers who were trapped in the battle. It was a bit much for Li and Xian, but they could still afford it.

When she learned that Li Xian was going to pay the bill, Qing Wu said to Li Xian in her sweet voice like clear spring water: "Master Li, do you want to get a general card?"

"General card?" Li Xian was stunned, and Lin Qingsheng next to him quickly asked: "What is the general card?"

Jiangjun card is the membership card launched by Chen Mo. However, the concept of membership card does not sound good in this world, so Chen Mo changed it to Jiangjun card, Jiangjun card, Jiangjun card. When you hear it, it is a status symbol.

Qingwu had been trained and immediately told Li Xian and Li Xian the meaning of the General Card: "The General Card is a benefit prepared by our Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant for VIPs. Today Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant is opening a big discount for guests. You can get as much as you want. Young Master. As long as you hold the Jiangjun license, you can spend at any Fuze hot pot restaurant in Qing, Yu, and Lin states in the future, and enjoy a 20% discount on the total payment."

After finishing speaking, Qing Wu was a little nervous because she had recited these words many times for fear of reciting them wrongly.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Miss Qingwu, you mean to say that there is also this Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant in Qinglin and Qinglin."

Qing Wu nodded and said: "Yes, although there are currently no Qinglin prefectures, Fuze hot pot restaurants will soon be opened in the three Qingyu and Lin prefectures. This is the property of our Pingting County Marquis. If you have any questions, , or if your own interests have been infringed, you can go to the yamen in the three states to report the case."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xian and Lin Qingsheng took a breath. No wonder the menu even included tiger meat and venison. It turned out to be the property of the Marquis of Pingting County.

The Marquis of Pingting County is now the local emperor of the three states. Who dares to question his strength.

Lin Qingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Miss Qingwu, do we have to pay extra for this general card?"

Qing Wu said: "The starting price for a general card is ten taels of silver, and after you get a general card, you can enjoy dishes worth twenty taels in our restaurant."

Li Xian was a scholar, and he understood somewhat and said: "What Miss Qingwu means is that after we get the General Card, we can use the money in the General Card to pay the current bills.

In other words, after we pay the current bill, there will still be fifteen taels of silver in the card? "

Qing Wu thought for a while and said: "You can also enjoy a discount of 20% of the total amount with the General Card. If you spend five guan, you can get a discount of 1 guan. In other words, if the two young masters apply for the General Card, after paying the bill, the card will be There are still sixteen taels in it.”

Lin Qingsheng was shocked. Ten guan of money, that is, ten taels of silver, can buy the general card. After paying the bill, there are still sixteen taels in the general card. Doesn't this mean that he got it in vain...

It was too complicated, and Lin Qingsheng suddenly couldn't figure it out.

But from a business perspective, isn't this a huge loss for Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant?

This is not doing business, this is clearly doing good deeds. Li Xian couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, is he doing a good deed?"

Qing Wu didn't understand this account, but judging from her knowledge, the restaurant was definitely losing money. She smiled and said: "This is the special offer for today's grand opening. You can get as much as you charge, and you will get free after tomorrow." It’s gone, and the silver from General Brand can only be spent at Fuze Hotpot Restaurant and cannot be redeemed.”

After listening, Li Xian and the other two thought carefully about it, and finally both of them got a general card.

The general's medal was a bronze medal with the image of the Brave Guards flag engraved on it. Then the shopkeeper gave Li Xian and Lin Qingsheng each eighteen exclusive silver tickets with the four characters "Fuze Hot Pot" printed on them. The seal of the prefect of Yuzhou.

In other words, if Li Xian goes to Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant to eat hot pot again in the future, spends five dollars again, and shows his general card, he only needs to pay four exclusive banknotes with the four characters "Fuze Hot Pot" printed on them. .

For this exclusive banknote, Chen Mo used the anti-counterfeiting technology used by banks, so he didn't have to worry about others making counterfeit money.

Fuze Hot Pot was very popular on the day it opened. By evening, it was already full, and people had to queue up if they wanted to come in and consume.

Some people come to eat at noon and again in the evening.

And when I came at noon, I spent money in the lobby on the first floor. When I came in the evening, I went directly to the private room on the third floor.

……

Longmen County Yamen.

When the family was having dinner in the backyard, Xia Zhining learned about the free-for-all activity. She couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't the restaurant lose money by doing this?"

"Yes, the guests who come to eat hot pot make a lot of money." Han Anniang also agreed.

If you get a general card and spend ten guans, including the promotion of giving away whatever you charge, then the hot pot eater has not paid and has received 12 guans in vain.

Chen Mo ate the food and said with a smile: "You can make money with your blood, but I will never lose."

Han Anniang: "???"

Xia Zhining: "???"

It was Ning Wan who answered their doubts and said: "If our dishes, such as beef slices, sell for 100 cash per catty outside, in our restaurant, it will cost nearly 180 cash.

Dishes like pig blood are extremely profitable, and we also charge seating fees and a certain service fee on the second and third floors of the restaurant. "

As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. Twenty guan in Fuze Restaurant is only worth seven guan if you buy the same amount of food outside the restaurant.

After listening to Ning Wan's answer, Han An and the others finally understood that the restaurant earns money for the dishes, so they can give away as much as they charge. The money given away is actually the money paid by the guests for the dishes.

……

The next day, the owner of the restaurant came to settle accounts with Chen Mo. Yesterday's total income, including those who played the general card, was 5,320 yuan, and the profit was more than 70%.
