Chapter 579 Cooperation in Opening a Restaurant
Chapter 579 Cooperation in Opening a Restaurant
A few years have passed, and compared to when I first met Yun Lan, there are already several fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
Time is unforgiving, and so is beauty.
"Where's Sister Wanru? Why didn't she come?" Jiang Ruyi looked left and right but didn't see Fang Wanru.
"She, haha, she just got engaged and is busy." Speaking of his precious daughter, the wrinkles at the corners of Yun Lan's eyes deepened.
"What, engagement? Who is Sister Wanru engaged to?" Jiang Ruyi was very surprised.
"I have a distant nephew from my mother's family. He has a good temper and is very hardworking. He passed the imperial examination two years ago and is going to take the next autumn imperial examination. Whether he passes or not, they will get married as soon as they return. But I still hope that he passes, so that you, like my sister, can be the wife of a juren."
When Jiang Fubao heard Yun Lan talking about her future son-in-law, his eyes brightened.
"It seems that Aunt is very satisfied with him. Just like my sister's wedding, Aunt must tell us in advance. We will go even if we are busy."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Fubao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
I saw too many patients this morning and my mouth said it was dry and I was always thirsty.
"Of course I have to call you. Although Wanru can't come, she is thinking about you. If you don't go to her wedding, Wanru will be sad. Okay, Ruyi, take your aunt to the backyard. Your uncle Fang and Fubao have something to say. Let's not disturb them."
After chatting for a while, Yun Lan took Jiang Ruyi's hand and went to the backyard with her.
Leave the venue for Fang Yanheng to talk with Jiang Fubao.
"Uncle Fang, what do you want to tell me?" Jiang Fubao's voice was filled with confusion.
Aunt Yun mentioned this when she came in just now.
Why is he being so serious? Could it be that Uncle Fang is sick?
Jiang Fubao looked Fang Yanheng from head to toe. His face looked ruddy and normal, and he didn't look sick.
"I want to cooperate with Fubao. Please listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
Fang Yanheng took a sip of tea and said solemnly.
"I plan to do business in Jiangnan and open a restaurant, but there are too many restaurants there, and it is really hard to take root if I just open an ordinary restaurant. When Fubao Medical Clinic first opened, I tried your medicinal food, and it tasted really good. What do you think if I cooperate with you to open a restaurant specializing in medicinal food in Jiangnan?"
Fang Yanheng lowered his head slightly, but raised his eyes upwards, looking at Jiang Fubao with his black eyes, observing her expression calmly.
"Specializing in selling medicinal food? That's possible, but this medicinal food is not something you can eat casually. If Uncle Fang wants to sell it, he must at least hire a doctor to sit in the restaurant every day for consultation. This person must also stay with me for a period of time. I have to test his medical skills. If not, I have to teach him.
Besides, only my second sister and I know the recipe of medicinal food. My second sister can’t go to Jiangnan. Uncle Fang must first prepare a group of trustworthy cooks and send them to learn from my second sister. You must know that medicinal food is one dish per person, which is different from ordinary restaurants. You can’t order dishes, but can only prescribe dishes according to the guests’ physical conditions. It’s really complicated…”
Jiang Fubao was a little hesitant.
She explained patiently, trying to make Fang Yanheng give up this idea.
After all, there are medicines in medicated food. If you don’t use them for the right symptoms, it’s easy to damage your body, and you’ll have to pay big bucks.
"I have actually considered all of what you said. Don't worry, Fubao. My restaurant not only sells medicinal food, but also ordinary meals. I have already prepared a doctor. He is the court physician in my house. His apprentices have just graduated. One stayed in Fang's house, and the other went to Jiangnan. So he is absolutely trustworthy.
I also selected the best chef. The restaurant owner sells medicinal food, which does not mean he does not sell ordinary food. The main purpose is to attract people. You have been to Jiangnan, and you know how difficult it is to do business there..."
Fang Yanheng explained for a long time and finally convinced Jiang Fubao.
"Okay, since Uncle Fang has made the decision, you can send the cook and the doctor over another day." Who doesn't want to make more money?
Jiang Fubao knew that if she cooperated with Fang Yanheng, the money in her pocket would at least triple.
The Fang family is famous for being rich and good at making money.
It is ranked at the front in Chang'an Town, let alone Lianshan Town.
If the Fang family came to Lianshan Town to open a restaurant, what would Zuiyuexuan have to do with it?
"Okay, once the restaurant opens, we'll split the profits 30% to 70%." Fang Yanheng let out a breath and began to talk about the profit sharing.
"Thirty percent is a bit too much. Twenty percent is enough for me." Jiang Fubao didn't expect Uncle Fang to be so generous.
She didn't interfere at all in the restaurant and gave her 30% of the profits. In fact, she felt that 20% was too much, but if it was only 10%, Uncle Fang would definitely not agree, so Jiang Fubao asked for 20%.
"Fubao, you're joking. How can I let you take 30%? It's 30% for me and 70% for you." Fang Yanheng chuckled, opened his folding fan and waved it slowly.
"Uncle Fang, are you joking? I do nothing and I get 70% of the profit? Absolutely not. How can you make any money with only 30%?" Jiang Fubao was surprised and his big eyes widened even wider.
So it's 3:7?
How could she deserve 70%?
"I have already discussed this with your Aunt Yun at home. Don't worry, Fubao. Even if it's only 30%, I can still make a profit. The cost of a dish in a restaurant is lower than you think. And the medicinal food here is not worth the price if it is sold in Jiangnan. It will be at least five times higher."
Fang Yanheng smiled, stretched out a hand, and spoke in a steady tone.
"hiss--"
"So expensive?" Jiang Fubao took a breath.
I was shocked by Fang Yanheng’s pricing.
Indeed, no dish in Jiangnan Restaurant is sold cheaply.
Even the food sold by street vendors is much more expensive than in Lianshan Town.
No wonder Uncle Fang said that even 30% is profitable.
It has increased fivefold, so even if it's only 10%, it's still a profit.
Then how much of the 70% does she have?
Jiang Fubao didn't dare to think about it, she decisively refused: "No, 70% is too much, I feel uneasy holding it, let's just 30% and 70%, I'll be 30% and you'll be 70%."
"No, 30% is enough for me."
"Uncle Fang, there are really too many. I feel anxious holding 30% of them."
"Fubao, there aren't many actually."
"too much."
"not much."
"too much."
"not much."
"..."
The two argued for a long time.
Jiang Fubao talked until her mouth was dry and her tongue was weary. Finally, after she threatened not to cooperate, Fang Yanheng agreed to split the profits from the restaurant 50-50 between them.
The restaurant's medicinal materials are provided by Jiang Fubao.
Fang Yanheng wanted to buy it with money, but Jiang Fubao refused. She said frankly that he had to pay something, otherwise he would not feel at ease with the money. Fang Yanheng had no choice but to compromise.
In the evening, Yunlan and Fang Yanheng had dinner at Jiang's house. Although there were only two more people, Jiang Fubao felt it was much more lively.
After dinner, the Fang family servants took out large and small bags from somewhere, which contained gifts from Yun Lan to everyone in the Jiang family.
