Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0444: There Must Be Something Hateful About Poor People
In the Longmenzhen restaurant, several people ate and chatted leisurely, and the meal took dozens of minutes.
After eating and taking a short rest, dinner guests started to arrive.
Compared with lunch guests, the dinner occupancy rate is higher, the average order size is larger, and the proportion of foreigners is also higher.
It was busy from 5:30 to 9:30 when the number of customers began to decrease. The turnover rate of the restaurant reached four times. Nan Yi found it a bit strange. London's economy was in recession, so how could so many American people still come to Chinese restaurants to eat?
If you eat the daily food of the British people, you can have a full meal for a few dozen pence, but Chinese food is more expensive. The minimum consumption here in Longmenzhen is 1.5 pounds.
Today is an exception. There are customers who only eat one dish and ask for a bowl of rice or a few potatoes. The staple food provided by Longmenzhen includes boiled potatoes, which are neither too big nor too small. Most people can be full with three.
At nine forty, as the guests from the second table left, there was only one customer left in the Longmenzhen restaurant, a customer who gave Nan Yi a headache.
The middle-aged man exuded a strange odor that was a mixture of various smells. Nan Yi smelled the stench of a garbage can, alcohol, and a smell that he really disliked - the local specialties of the Golden Triangle.
This middle-aged man broke in when Nan Yi was about to turn the "OPEN" on the door to "CLOSE". As soon as he entered the store, the school beauty who had been guarding outside came running over and told Nan Yi that the man had a gun.
Nan Yi followed the principle that whoever enters the door is a guest and did not take any action to drive the man out, although he knew very well that he would most likely not receive the money.
He just gave the man a code name - Jiapeng horseshoe crab.
This insect has a shell similar to that of a turtle, so it is also called "turtle lid" in some places.
Wang Ba Zizi ordered two spring rolls, mapo tofu and kung pao chicken, and a bottle of whiskey. As soon as the dishes were served, he started to devour them.
After four minutes and twenty seconds, Wang Ba Gaizi was probably about 80% full, and his eating manners became more elegant. He sipped a glass of wine while stuffing spring rolls with dipping sauce into his mouth. He even had the mood to look around the decoration of the store.
Nan Yi was counting today's turnover at the cashier. It was not bad, at 347.45 pounds, and the gross profit was about 236 pounds plus a few pence.
"Boss, how much is it?" Dai Xiuxiu had been standing next to the cashier counter and asked when she saw Nan Yi counting the money.
"347.45 pounds, not bad. If this turnover can be maintained, the cost can be recovered in two months, the rent can be made in three months, and one and a half months will be paid to the Eagle Government. Your salary will be two months, and I will have two and a half months' money left."
"Isn't it three and a half months?"
"Not that many. I'll give you holidays for the Spring Festival and Christmas, as well as some other holidays. Adding up, it's almost a month."
Nan Yi felt that Dai Xiuxiu in front of him was particularly concerned about the store's turnover, and perhaps the idea of doing business had already sprouted in her mind.
“How much can you earn?”
"It's hard to say. There will be many unexpected situations when running a business. It's impossible to calculate how much you can earn this year until the end of the year. Once you learn how to use the machine, you can see how much the daily turnover is on it." Nan Yi patted the monitor of the cash register and said.
The store is equipped with a cash register. You can scan the barcode or enter the code of the dish to print out the order. There is a printer in the kitchen, so Luo Kun doesn't need to go to the kitchen to place an order. He can just look at the printed order.
When he finishes cooking the dish, he puts it at the serving port and presses the serving bell.
With two orders, they can be reconciled, and the waiter cannot deliberately enter the cheaper menu or less of it.
As for being in cahoots with each other, that is impossible. Nan Yi will be watching here one day. Even when he makes a promise to Luo Kun, as a prospective shareholder, he should be able to reduce his impulse to enrich himself.
Besides, the amount of raw materials purchased by Longmenzhen Restaurant is recorded every month, and it is easy to calculate what dishes can be produced, how many dishes can be produced, and how much turnover can be achieved. Even if he is not here to watch, he can detect if someone is cheating him out of money.
Nan Yi's money is not so easy to cheat. If someone cheats him out of 100 pounds, he will pay out 1 million pounds to make the person who cheated him wish for death.
Of course, this is just a metaphor.
£100 is above his bottom line and he will basically pretend not to know.
"Boss, can I get off work first?"
Streeter, who had already looked at his watch several times, asked.
"Of course, I told you yesterday that you can bring the child to the store. Does your husband have a job?"
"No, he takes care of the kids."
"Oh, then you can bring the child over and leave him at the cashier counter. It's just right, your husband can help Luo."
"Douglas can also come to work?" Street asked in surprise.
Nan Yi spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I can only work part-time."
"Part-time job is fine, thank you, Boss."
"You're welcome. You can leave work now. Just be careful on the road."
After Street left for a while, Wang Ba Gaizi was still there, drinking and eating leisurely.
Nan Yi looked at his watch and it was already ten thirty-two.
Luo Kun didn't leave, and Dai Xiuxiu didn't leave either.
"Xiu Xiu, go over there and tell him that we're closing. Pay attention, when you walk over, stand on his left side and don't block his view of the door."
Although Dai Xiuxiu didn't understand why, she still agreed and walked towards the turtle cover.
Although today's work was not easy, she was quite happy. She received more than six pounds in tips alone, which means her monthly income can exceed 400 pounds. Just now, she heard the guests who came to eat talking about the income level in London. 400 pounds is already very good.
"Excuse me, sir, we are about to close here."
The bastard glanced at Dai Xiuxiu and said in a muddy voice, "I haven't finished eating yet."
"I know. I'm asking you to go a little faster."
"Bitch, I said, I haven't finished eating." The turtle's eyes flashed with ferocity and he shouted in a bad tone.
"Xiu Xiu, come back."
Nan Yi called Dai Xiuxiu, who was frightened by the turtle shell, back to the cashier counter.
"Boss, him."
"It's okay." Nan Yi consoled him, and then said to Luo Kun, "Old Luo, protect him."
"Hey, if you're done eating, just leave quickly. You don't have to pay." Nan Yi shouted at Turtle Gaizi.
"Yellow monkey, I said, I haven't finished eating." Turtle Gai slammed the table heavily with his left hand and roared.
"OK, go ahead."
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, the school beauty came in with two bodyguards. They walked at a normal pace at first, and when they got close to Turtle Gaizi, the school beauty pulled out her gun and stood on guard. The other two swooped down, one twisted Turtle Gaizi's hand, and the other pinched the back of his neck, and directly pressed Turtle Gaizi onto the table.
After the bastard was controlled, the school beauty put away the gun, then fumbled around the bastard's waist and soon found a Webley .455in revolver.
Nan Yi took out the top ashtray from the pile at the cashier counter, held it, and found it not very comfortable to hold. IU put down the ashtray, picked up the packing paper bag on the side, and put one on top of the other, until there were five layers.
He took out the storage box from the cash register and poured all the coins inside into a paper bag. He tightened the bag and walked towards the turtle lid.
"Ha, yellow monkey?" Nan Yi said with a sneer, then made a gesture to let the bodyguard lift up the turtle's lid.
As soon as the turtle lid was lifted, Nan Yi swung the paper bag and smashed it at the part that would make the eunuch cover his face and cry.
"ah……"
In just a moment, the turtle howled in pain. Its legs, which had been kicking around just now, became stiff in an instant, and its face turned pale from the chin to the forehead.
Nan Yi waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to let go.
The turtle shell lost its support and the man drooped down and collapsed on the ground, like a live shrimp thrown into warm water, bending and stretching rhythmically.
"I gave you a free meal, and you still dare to call me a yellow-skinned monkey." Nan Yi spat and said slowly: "I guess you should have family. Dad? Mom? Ex-wife? Son? Daughter?"
While asking, Nan Yi stared at Wang Ba Gaizi's pupils. When asked other questions, he didn't react. But when Nan Yi mentioned "daughter", Wang Ba Gaizi's pupils shrank.
"Wow, you have a daughter. Let me introduce myself. I'm a rich man. It's not difficult for me to find your daughter.
I believe that you, a loser, a drug addict, and a scum, should often hang out in the East District, and should have seen those gangsters from Albania or Bulgaria, whatever. They look similar, and I have no idea which country they are from.
You must have seen the street prostitutes they control with drugs, right?
Do you want your daughter to become one of them because of a loser like you?"
"Yes... I'm sorry, I beg you not to look for my daughter." Turtle Gaizi said pitifully.
"Don't worry, I'm a kind person. As long as you don't let me see you again, we can live in peace."
As Nan Yi spoke, he lifted up Wang Ba Gaizi's pants. There was a black area below his ankles, all over both feet. Looking at the back of his knees, one could see needle holes and festering around them.
Rolling down Wang Ba Gai's pants, Nan Yi shook his head and said, "It seems that you don't have many days left to live. In the remaining days, act like a father. If you can't give your daughter a good life, please don't bring bad luck to her. I wish you good luck, stranger."
Nan Yi waved his hand and asked the bodyguards to move aside.
The school beauty pressed the magazine and poured out the bullets, then took out an Arab scarf from her pocket, wiped the gun, and threw it back to Wang Ba Gai.
Wang Ba Gaizi struggled to stand up, picked up the gun on the ground and put it back on his waist, then bowed and said to Nan Yi: "Thank you."
Nan Yi nodded and watched Turtle Gaizi turn around and leave.
After Wang Ba Gaizi left, Nan Yi walked back to the cashier counter and said to the dumbfounded Luo Kun and Dai Xiuxiu: "Why, you don't recognize me?"
"Boss, are they your bodyguards?"
After all, Luo Kun has served in the army, so he is more courageous.
"Yes, I'm sorry to have frightened you. I'm sorry to have delayed your get off work. You can leave now, but be careful on the road. Also, Lao Luo, think carefully tonight about who you are going to ask to come over and help you. Tell me the name and address tomorrow, and I'll have someone visit them."
"Okay, boss."
