What should they do after being laid off? Guo Fengying knows that her and her husband's education is not high, so it is not easy to find a job, and there is no capital to do business. What should I do? The couple are full of gloom all day. But in any case, the burden of life has to be carried on! After much deliberation, Mr. and Mrs. Guo Fengying finally decided to set up a stall to sell vegetables!
However, the vegetable business is very difficult. Pulling vegetables from the suburbs to the city will not only lose a lot of water, but also spoil the vegetables the next day if they are not sold out in one day. As a result, Guo Fengying and his wife were busy for a month. Instead of making money, they lost more than 1 yuan. Looking at four old people and a child, she Guo Fengying often cried out in her dreams. The house leaks when it rains. In October, 1997, Guo Fengying's mother-in-law suddenly developed diabetes, so she had to take medicine in hospital every so often, and the average monthly medicine cost was more than 1, yuan. In this way, life at home is even more difficult!
One night in April p>1998, when Mr. and Mrs. Guo Fengying were walking home from a busy day's stall, they met a classmate of hers from high school. The old classmate was so happy to see them that he dragged them into a braised pork restaurant on the side of the road. Guo Fengying passes by here every day. When he smells the smell of braised pork, he wants to buy a catty to taste, but he can't bear to part with it whenever he takes out the money. This time, a classmate invited her, and Guo Fengying was welcome. When she walked into the braised pork restaurant, she was surprised to find that the business here was extremely hot. Although the room was small and there was no luxurious decoration, it was full of guests. So much so that they waited for a long time to sit down.
Guo Fengying's classmates asked for 2 Jin of pig's trotters, 1 Jin of braised pork and 4 bottles of beer, and the three of them ate it ... after eating it, they settled accounts, and then 33 yuan paid for it! Guo Fengying was very surprised, and then she realized that the reason why the braised pork restaurant was booming was because it didn't cost much and it was affordable.
When she got home, Guo Fengying lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Her mind kept flashing the scene of fire and violence in the braised pork restaurant. Selling vegetables by herself is by no means a long-term solution. If she wants to highlight the predicament, she must choose a project that suits her. I have two hands for what others can do, so why not do it! At this moment, a bold idea was brewing in Guo Fengying's mind: he also opened a braised pork restaurant! She was so excited about this idea that she immediately woke up her husband and said what she thought. Honest Zhou Tiancheng looked at Guo Fengying in surprise, and it took a long time to say a word: "We didn't do it, okay?" Guo Fengying, a fiery man, said confidently, "There is nothing you can't learn, nothing you can't do. Anyway, it has reached this point, so let's gamble! "
Guo Fengying is a decisive person, and she never drags her feet on what she wants to do. The next day, she began to raise money. Borrowing from east to west raised 5 yuan in three days. Then she raced from street to street in Nanyang, trying to choose an ideal store. However, when she traveled all over the city, she found that the rental price of the facade room was so high that she couldn't afford it with the money in her hand. After careful consideration, Guo Fengying resolutely changed two of his three rooms into facades, leaving one room for people. She confidently believes that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley"! As long as the taste is good and the price is reasonable, you are not afraid of no guests.
After simple decoration, I bought tables, chairs and kitchenware at the flea market, and a small restaurant was born. Guo Fengying named it "Guoji Braised Pork Restaurant", and the braised pork chef was hired with 8 yuan money every month. On May 1st, "Guoji Braised Pork Restaurant" officially opened!
On the first day, Guo Fengying only bought 3 Jin of meat, 26 Jin of trotters and 2 pig heads. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the braised pork is out of the pot. Looking at the steaming braised pork, Guo Fengying seemed to see the hope of the family. She tasted it herself first, but she didn't find the taste of the braised pork last time. Just then, several guests came.
To her disappointment, just after a few bites, the guest said unhappily, "This braised pork has no other taste except salty." After a whole day, no one came to the door again. At night, Guo Fengying looked at a pot full of meat, and his heart was as heavy as a piece of lead. That night, she lost sleep.
The next day, some guests came one after another, and Guo Fengying greeted them with a smile. Every time she weighed the meat, she would add a little more, or charge less when she settled the account. She wanted to use this method to please the guests, but the guests didn't appreciate it. Some even said in front of the master, "Boss, you have to change the master." In this way, after three days of opening, she sold out the pot of braised pork. After a calculation, Guo Fengying lost more than 2 yuan ...
Since then, Guo Fengying has changed two masters in succession, and the taste of braised pork is still not good. So Guo Fengying decided to suspend business temporarily, and went to learn from the teacher herself, so she didn't believe that there were still things that could not be done!
changed its name to "Jianghu Restaurant". My family's braised pork business is booming.
Where can I study? Guo Fengying came to the braised pork restaurant where her former classmates led her to eat braised pork, and explained her purpose to the boss bluntly. When the shopkeeper learned that Guo Fengying's shop was more than 1 kilometers away from downtown, it would not have any impact on his business, so he promised her. But the condition was that she had to pay 1 yuan tuition first, and Guo Fengying gritted her teeth and agreed.
It was only after learning that it turned out that it was so simple to make braised pork, and it took her only two days to get started. On the first day, the shop master taught her how to choose fresh pork and pig's trotters. That part of the pig tastes different when cooked in pot, and that part produces more meat. Teach her ingredients the next day. Wrap fennel, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, pepper, etc. in different proportions with sand cloth, and put them in a pot with meat to cook.
After returning home, Guo Fengying didn't dare to start business immediately. Instead, he bought pig's trotters and pork, and cooked them in a pot according to the method taught by the master. As the hot air in the pot came out, the room suddenly smelled fragrant. When I opened the pot, the color of the yellow sauce immediately made people have an appetite. Guo Fengying tasted a piece with chopsticks, which made him feel fragrant, fat but not greasy. It's delicious! Guo Fengying suddenly embraced her husband and happily circled around the room.
on July 2th, 1998, Guoji braised pork restaurant opened again. Before the opening of the business, Guo Fengying printed a large number of leaflets, in which the prices of pig's trotters and braised pork were all about 1 yuan dollars cheaper than the market price per catty, and it was noted in the eye-catching place that all the consumption in the first week of opening was half price.
everything comes to him who waits. The leaflet really worked. On the first day of business, many people tasted it with the psychology of being cheap and curious, and the room was almost full. Many guests nodded and praised after eating, and some of them bought some more and brought them back. In this way, a large pot of stewed vegetables was sold out in a few hours. That night was the happiest night for Guo Fengying, and she deeply felt that her efforts were not in vain at last, and a good day was coming!
Later, the braised pork restaurant in Guo Fengying was full almost every day. Guo Fengying and his wife were really busy, so they hired two waiters.
shine on you is better than blue. The braised pork in "Guoji Braised Pork Shop" is delicious and affordable, and it has spread all over Nanyang City. In addition, Guo Fengying is honest and never lacks both pounds and pounds for customers, so more and more people come here to eat, and even many guests in the city drive here. Because Guoji braised pork shop was located in Penyao Street in Wancheng District, there was a saying in Nanyang City later: "I want to play in the teahouse and eat meat in the Penyao." It shows the great influence of Guoji braised pork shop.
when business is good, others will naturally follow suit. A neighbor across the street saw that Guo Fengying's business was getting better and better, so he put up a brand of braised pork shop to compete. However, the store was often deserted, and neighbors sometimes even went to Guo Ji's braised pork shop to solicit customers to grab business. For this reason, the two families had conflicts. Zhou Tiancheng was so angry that she was stopped by Guo Fengying. She patiently said, "We don't have to care about them when we do business." Before long, the shop opposite closed.
You can't eat braised pork without wine. Whether it's beer or white wine, Guo Fengying chooses local wine. Beer is "Tianguan Beer" produced in Nanyang, and white wine is "Wolong Jade Liquid" produced in Nanyang, which is delicious and affordable. Finally, the local wholesaler saw that her sales volume was large and simply delivered it to the door.
In the hot summer, there are 8 tables in 2 bungalows, and the yard outside the house is also full of tables. After the guests weighed the braised pork, they began to eat and drink in the sea. When they are happy, they simply take off their shirts, throw off their bare arms and eat with great smiles; There are even some people who don't have stools. For the convenience of drinking, they simply move a box of beer and sit on it. They grab a bottle of wine from the box and drink it at will, and then count the empty bottles after drinking. What's more interesting is that customers who can't wait for a seat grab a big pig's trotters in one hand and squat down on the ground to enjoy themselves ... This kind of appearance is very similar to the scene when the outlaws are having dinner and drinking in the costume martial arts movies!
At noon on July 6th, 1999, Guo Fengying suddenly received a very unexpected phone call from Shaolin Temple in Songshan. It turns out that the film crew of the second filming of the legendary swordsman is filming a scene in Shaolin Temple where Ling Huchong leads a group of Jianghu heroes to rescue Shenggu. Before going up the mountain, this group of Jianghu heroes had a group of scenes of dinner and drinking at the foot of the mountain. After being recommended by local people, they chose the "Guoji Braised Pork Shop" by Baishui River, so the crew called me and asked Guo Fengying if he agreed. And said that he would give her a certain reward.
After receiving this call, Guo Fengying was very happy. The reason why the crew chose her restaurant shows that her braised pork restaurant really has a little "Jianghu" style, and we should take this opportunity to further expand its influence, not to mention giving her a certain reward, that is, giving her nothing, but one hundred people are willing.
At about 1: am on July 9th, nine vans of the film crew drove to Guoji Braised Pork Shop. When she mentioned the scene at that time, Guo Fengying was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. She said excitedly, "That's really more lively than catching a big episode! Almost all the people in the pot kiln came, and my little braised pork restaurant was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. " After the scene was finished, all the crew members really had a meal at the "Guoji Braised Pork Shop". Since then, Guo Fengying has renamed "Guoji Braised Pork Shop" as "Jianghu Braised Pork Restaurant". In order to make her braised pork restaurant more "Jianghu" style, she covered the roofs of three tile houses with a layer of straw; A flagpole was erected at the fork in front of the door, with an apricot yellow flag embroidered with "Jianghu Braised Pork Restaurant"; All the shops have replaced the big wooden tables, long benches, and coarse porcelain bowls ... This change has really become a veritable "Jianghu restaurant", giving people a simple and unrestrained feeling. Anyone who comes here will be free to drink freely ...
Since then, Guo Fengying's financial resources have been rolling in. Their family finally embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
"Jianghu restaurant" has a good reputation. Guoji pig's trotters sell well all over the country.
By 22, that small "Jianghu restaurant" could not accommodate more and more customers. At this time, Guo Fengying's savings are close to one million. In order to expand the business space, she bought a nearby private house and demolished and rebuilt a modern hotel with four rooms and six floors. The first to third floors are restaurants and the third to sixth floors are guest rooms. The original bungalow still maintains the original "Jianghu" style.
After some reforms, the braised pork business in Guo Fengying has gone up a storey still higher, and thousands of people come here to eat meat every day. In the evening, the motorcade stopped in front of the restaurant for miles, and even the secretaries of the surrounding counties went to the city for a meeting, so they didn't hesitate to detour for more than ten miles to come here, just to bring some Guo Ji braised pork. The braised pork here sells more than 1 ton every day, and the beer alone sells nearly 3 tons every day. Because of the large sales volume, she bought all the frozen trotters of Nanyang Meat Joint Factory and almost all the adult pigs in their nearby countryside. Later, she had to send salesmen to the meat joint factories in Xiangfan and Xiaogan, Hubei Province to buy frozen trotters.
However, Mu Xiu must be urged by Lin Feng. In the growing process of braised pork restaurant in Guo Fengying, it also suffered many disasters. Guo Fengying can handle rough quarrels between customers, but what bothers her most is the jealousy and mischief of her colleagues.
One night in April p>23, six young people came here for dinner. They weighed 6 Jin of braised pork, 5 Jin of pig's trotters and 6 Jin of pig's intestines. At ordinary times, there are many guests who like to buy more meat and pack it back when they can't eat it, so Guo Fengying is not surprised that these six people buy so much meat. But just when they were full of food and wine, they suddenly shouted loudly! Hearing the shouts, Guo Fengying immediately ran downstairs. At this time, the customers also gathered around. Guo Fengying saw one of them, holding chopsticks in his hand, pointing to the braised large intestine and saying loudly, "Come and have a look, everyone. This is their braised pork. They don't wash their intestines, and there is dung in it." Guo Fengying really saw a corn grain sandwiched in the marinated large intestine. She was puzzled. When the workers washed the large intestine, she was always there to supervise, and every time they washed it cleanly. How could this happen? At this time, many customers waiting in line for meat went out one after another. Seeing that the business could not be done, Guo Fengying quickly apologized to the six men and said that he would not accept their money, but they still refused to give up.
Just when Guo Fengying was at a loss and customers were talking about it, a middle-aged man in his thirties came out of the customers. He took the corn grain in his hand and studied it for a while, and said to everyone, "This corn grain was put in the back." Hearing this, everyone was shocked! The six men all asked him what evidence he had. The man asked Guo Fengying for a knife and unhurriedly cut the corn kernels. People found that the corn kernels were raw! If this corn kernel had been in the large intestine, it would have been cooked, but now this corn kernel is only cooked on the outside and raw inside, indicating that when the braised large intestine was first served, someone put the corn kernel in it while it was hot, so it was cooked externally and endogenous. Who put it there? People turned their eyes to those six people. The middle-aged man put the cut corn kernels on the table and said, "People who come here to eat are all people who have seen the world and are heroic ..." The six men blushed with shame, and they obediently paid for the meal without listening, and went around. Later, Guo Feng made it clear that these six people were instructed by a nearby braised pork restaurant to come here to make trouble!
This kind of thing was just an episode, and it didn't take long for Guo Fengying to forget it. What she can't forget most, and what still touches her today, is the heroic righteousness embodied in the customers.
One day, a customer found a briefcase and gave it to her, entrusting her to find the owner. Guo Fengying opened his briefcase and was shocked! There are contracts, credit cards and 3, yuan in cash. How magnanimous the customer is when she finds so much money and can give it to her, which shows how much the customer trusts her! She immediately wrote a pair of A and B in accordance with the contract.
