Chapter 216 Dinner Party
After doing all this, Qian Lai also picked up the account books of the two stores, then looked up at the two of them and said with a smile: "Okay, follow me."
After Qian Lai finished speaking, he walked towards the corridor first, followed by Lin Wu and Lin Xiangxiang.
Although Lin Chu was still in the box on the second floor at this time, her consciousness was in the game space.
When Lin Chuyi heard footsteps in the corridor, he regained consciousness instantly. Soon, Qian Laiye's voice was heard from the door of the box.
"Girl, the owners of several stores are here."
"Well, come in." Lin Chuyi's tone was a little light.
Qian Lai also raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the girl was in a good mood at the moment. He wondered if something good had happened again.
Qian Lai was also thinking so, but his hands were moving quickly. The moment Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he raised his hand and pushed open the door of the box in front of him.
The box where Lin Chuyi was located was exactly the one that Qian Laiye had used to entertain those bosses before. At this moment, as the door was slowly pushed open, the situation inside the room slowly appeared in the sight of the three people.
Among them, what attracted their attention most was the large dining table that could accommodate ten people at the same time. At this moment, the table was full of fresh ingredients, and Lin Chuyi was sitting in the main seat, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Lin Chuyi waved at the three of them, "Now everyone present is our own, there is no need to be restrained, come and find a seat, put the things in your hands aside, eat first, and when you are full, we can talk about business."
Lin Chuyi was the common master of the three of them, so naturally no one would go against her wishes, and they all came in and took their seats.
The food Lin Chuyi arranged for them tonight was still hotpot, but unlike before, the hotpot tonight was beef hotpot, which was not available in Yipintang Restaurant.
All the ingredients on the table were produced in the space, and their quality was top-notch. After listening to Lin Chuyi's explanation of how to eat the ingredients and trying them themselves, Qian Laiye and the other two started to pick their favorite ingredients and eat them spontaneously without Lin Chuyi saying anything.
They have been so busy with the store business these days that they haven’t had time to eat properly. Now that the event is over, they can finally reward their stomachs.
During the following meal time, the only sounds in the box were the gurgling sound of the boiling hot pot and the chewing of a few people.
After Lin Chuyi's physical fitness improved, her body's energy consumption rate also increased. In order to provide herself with enough nutrition, in addition to the normal three meals a day, she would also give herself extra meals to keep herself three-quarters full.
She had already had a midnight snack before the three of them arrived, so when it was time to eat hotpot, she only ate five plates of beef, three plates of beef tripe, and two plates of beef balls, and she felt full.
Lin Chuyi glanced at Qian Laiye and the other two, and seeing that they were eating the same speed as usual, she simply put down her chopsticks and began to concentrate on cooking the meat and making meatballs for them.
Since they didn't have to cook the ingredients themselves, Lin Wu and the other two ate faster. Qian Laiye was the first to stop eating, followed by Lin Xiangxiang, and finally Lin Wu.
Lin Chuyi waited for Lin Wu to put down his chopsticks and confirmed that they were full, then put the entire dining table into the space and handed it over to the nanny in the small western-style building to clean up, and then transferred a new dining table from the space warehouse.
Along with the new dining table, there was also a set of tea set. Lin Chuyi poured a cup of tea for Qian Laiye, Lin Xiangxiang, and Lin Wu, then poured himself a cup of tea before putting down the teapot.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten her throat, then she smiled and looked up at the three people.
"Okay, now that we're done eating, let's get down to business. Before we get down to business, let me briefly introduce you all."
After saying this, Lin Chuyi stretched out his palm and pointed at Qian Laiye, Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Wu one after another. When his palm was pointed at each of them, Lin Chuyi would announce their corresponding identities.
"Qian Laiye, the general manager of Lanzhou Industry and the owner of Yipin Guo and Jiangxinfang, Lin Xiangxiang, the owner of Qilixiang, and Lin Wu, the owner of Lulutong. I will introduce your identities here for now. You will see each other often in the future. You can learn more about the details later. It's getting late, so let's get straight to the point."
"Now, the floor is yours. Tell us about your store's business performance over the past few days. Who among you will go first?"
Lin Xiangxiang was the first to speak: "Let me go first."
"Okay." Lin Chu nodded slightly and raised his hand towards Lin Xiangxiang, indicating that she could start.
Lin Xiangxiang handed Qilixiang's account book to Lin Chuyi. Lin Chuyi took the account book and when she was flipping through it, she heard Lin Xiangxiang's voice in her ears.
"During the three-day event, Qilixiang produced a total of 4326 desserts, of which 4310 were successfully sold, and 16 desserts could not be sold due to production failure and operational errors. A total of 1533 drinks were produced, 1526 were successfully sold, and 7 drinks could not be sold due to incorrect proportions and packaging errors."
"Qilixiang's total sales in these three days is 71 taels and 370 coins. Excluding material costs, labor costs, discounts, and production costs, Qilixiang's total profit in these three days is 45 taels and 95 coins."
"In addition to the revenue from in-store consumption, Qilixiang also received two large orders and several small orders. Although the opening event has ended, with these orders, Qilixiang's total turnover in the next few days will not be worse than when the event was held."
"Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that Qilixiang's two large orders are mainly for the wedding banquet of the son of Lanzhou wealthy businessman Liu Min, and the 60th birthday of the mother of Lanzhou salt tax official Zhang Chengli."
"As long as these two orders can be completed smoothly, Qilixiang will be well-known in the upper circles, and then we won't have to worry about the sales of desserts."
"In addition, I have also observed the sales of various desserts in the past few days, from which I have learned about the general taste preferences of the people. I plan to make some improvements based on the original desserts and appropriately adjust the production quantity of each dessert to prevent the desserts from being unsalable."
After Lin Xiangxiang finished her report, Lin Chuyi had also finished reading the contents of the account book. She nodded slightly at Lin Xiangxiang, expressing her agreement with her approach, and then gave her opinion.
"Your idea is very good. I agree with your decision to adjust the number of desserts according to the actual situation, but I think you don't have to cater too much to the tastes of the general public. You can make fewer desserts that are not popular with the public, and then fill in the gaps with new products."
