MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 26 , A pair of prodigal sons (9)

"Dad, I want to change the business model of our restaurant."

Su Aobai expressed his thoughts bluntly.

"Change the business model? How?"

Miao Yinhua subconsciously thought that her son wanted to expand the scale, but she and the old man couldn't bear it physically. If they hired someone, they didn't know any reliable cooks, and once they chose to hire someone, the cost would increase, which was bound to To be apportioned on each dish.

The price increase is a trivial matter. After all, prices have soared in recent years, especially the soaring price of pork in the past few years. The price has been raised several times in the shop, and diners generally accept it.

It's just hiring people and expanding the scale, and there are a series of troubles that follow. For example, the current suppliers may not be able to meet the demand after the expansion. The suppliers to their family are old friends who have cooperated for many years. , The quality of the product is guaranteed, and finding a few new suppliers is a very labor-intensive task in the middle of the running-in stage.

"I used to eat at midnight every day, and then go back to my room to play games after dinner. I didn't even realize that my parents were old."

Su Aobai held his mother's hand with a somewhat emotional tone.

"The old man is really brave. In fact, I found out when I was shooting the video. Dad can't shake the big iron pot anymore, and he still refuses to tell the truth."

His tone was a little low, and while he was talking, he suddenly raised his head to look at the old man, his eyes were red.

"Did I hide the medicinal oil when I entered the house? I'm not an idiot when the air conditioner is on but I opened the window. You want to dispel the smell of the medicinal oil? You forgot, I My sense of smell is as good as taste, even if you open the window, I can still smell the medicinal oil."

The couple didn't expect that their son would find out about applying the medicated oil, let alone that his son would care about them.

This is the first time for the two elders.

Su Quangen's heart felt unspeakably sour.

As a father, he loves his son and can give everything for it, but when everyone around him is telling him that your son is too disappointing, doesn't your son know how to be considerate and considerate of you when you are old and start to bear his burden? As a man, when the responsibility of being a son is similar, isn't there a flash of resentment in his heart?

Sometimes when he was really tired, he would also think, why don't he do it? He left two buildings for his son and left him a lot of savings, that's enough.

Of course, there is very little time to think about it, and more often, if the son takes the initiative to tell him, Dad, don’t do it, you are too tired. If the son can say this to him, he will definitely be moved again. Do twenty years.

In fact, parents also need their children to recognize their contributions.

"And Mom, how long has it been since you dyed your hair at Sister Wang's?"

Su Aobai looked at his mother's gray hair again.

Miao Yinhua is still very cute, like many fashionable old ladies, she often goes to a familiar barber shop to perm her delicate curly hair, dyeing it a fashionable red or elegant black.

But in the past two years, the work has become more and more strenuous. I used to be able to finish everything neatly. I hurried to dye my hair and bake it with oil when the gray hair roots grow out. Now I really don’t have time. After taking care of it, she has long silver, white and black hair, only the ends are still red.

"I didn't notice it before. If I hadn't taken a video for you and kept staring at you in the camera, my son might not have noticed it."

Su Aobai's tone was extremely disappointed.

"It turns out that you, parents, are really old."

After the son said these words, the few resentments in the couple's hearts were instantly calmed down.

It's not that the son doesn't love them, it's not that the son enjoys their contribution willfully, but that the son has a big heart and always thinks that they are the two extremely powerful giants who protected him and cared for him when he was a child.

Miao Yinhua's eyes were red, looking at the forty-year-old kid in front of her, she didn't feel that her idea was too inconsistent at all.

Blame them for taking care of this child so meticulously before that he only realized now that his parents will also get old and there will be a day when they won't be able to take care of him.

The same is true for Su Quangen. For parents like them who dote on their children, it is the happiest thing for their children to know what they have done.

"It's okay, dad is okay, dad can still work for another twenty years!"

Su Quangen said excitedly.

"Okay, Dad, don't be too brave. Don't you want Mom to apply medicated oil to you every night? This is a temporary solution, not the root cause. It will only be troublesome if you get tired and have serious problems in the future."

Su Aobai didn't come here to ask for expansion. On the contrary, he hoped that his parents would stop the breakfast business, and then change the restaurant from the original order system to set meals.

"this…"

Hearing his son's proposal, the couple hesitated.

They all understand the set meal. Isn’t this just a fixed set meal? They also sell it in their store. The portion of each dish in the set meal is smaller than that of the single order. The advantage is that you can eat more dishes with less money.

Many young white-collar workers want a healthy combination of meat and vegetables, but their economic conditions are not as good as those of the nearby chartered public and rented women, so they will choose the well-matched set meals in the store.

If all of them are changed to a set meal system, this will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

Because they can prepare the ingredients and seasonings of each dish in the set meal in advance, and some dishes that are durable and will not affect the taste too much due to temperature can be cooked in advance or made into semi-finished products.

The biggest advantage of the set meal is that you won't be in a hurry when dealing with different ingredients when there are many people.

"But everyone's taste is different. Like your uncles and aunts who often come to our business, they can't eat together."

Su Quangen felt that although this idea was worry-free, it would affect the business of the small shop.

And they are all old neighbors, they occasionally bring their own ingredients to ask for processing, and there are also reservations for a la carte, are they all refunded?

As long as the request of a few of them is not rejected, the others will still follow the order. In this way, what is the difference from the previous fried restaurant?

"The taste is different, we can order several more set meals, for example, in the meat, there are pork, beef, mutton, river fresh seafood, and a few more vegetables. In terms of taste, both spicy and light can be considered. They make their own set meals, and our family will sell seasonal dishes in the future.”

Su Aobai explained his thoughts.

"Actually, it's like the stew in our family. In fact, there are only two soups for them to choose every day, but after so many years, everyone is used to it. If there are really no dishes that uncles and aunts like to eat that day, they You can also go to another place to eat, is it possible that our store will not open in the future, and they still have to eat it?"

Takeaway is so convenient these days, Su Quangen still takes himself too seriously, so that he is under a lot of pressure for no reason.

"And dad, if you are really sorry, you can also set up a reservation system to accept reservations from several people every day, but the number of people should not be too many, and the rules cannot be broken after the number of people is set. You can't just because you have a deep friendship with someone Add a reservation, not me, Dad, you have a deep friendship with everyone in our area, if you make a special case for everyone, this reservation will not be able to be done."

What his son said made Su Quangen blush a little.

What's wrong with his soft ears? This kid doesn't save him any face when he speaks.

"Is it okay to do this? If people can't eat what they want, they will go to other places to eat. After a long time, they may not come here again."

Miao Yinhua was still a little worried.

"Does other people's homes have the same taste as ours? Before, our dad didn't learn 100% of grandpa's craftsmanship. Now that he has grandpa's notebook, he can occasionally make a delicacy recorded in the notebook, and he can keep the guests. Besides, Doesn't this still have your son's golden tongue, at the same price, how can other people's homes have our level?"

When he praised the old man, he also praised himself.

Su Quangen looked at the yellowed notebook in his hand, and some courage really grew in his heart.

Although he has not practiced many of the recipes in this notebook, many years of experience tell him that the finished product is absolutely amazing. Although Su Quangen still has doubts about this notebook, such an important prescription, why did his father die before his death? Never revealed, never done?

But the handwriting belonged to the old man, and the notebook was also found in the old man's relics. Su Quangen found many reasons for this, and never thought that this notebook was written by Su Aobai according to the old man's handwriting, and after being old Put it in the box containing the old man's belongings.

It's not a secret recipe recorded by the old man, so naturally he wouldn't tell him before his death.

In a certain life before Su Aobai, he was the descendant of a family of antiques. He not only learned to distinguish the authenticity of antiques from childhood, but also learned various methods of falsification and old-fashioned.

Of course, the purpose of learning is not to cheat, but because only by understanding the various methods of cheating can one not be deceived by those methods.

In that world, Su Aobai lost to a man with open eyes. He studied hard for dozens of years since he was a child. He was struck by lightning, and then his eyes were opened. When he saw an object, all the information about the object would appear.

Because Realization didn't know that he was competing against the guarantors, after losing to those people many times, Su Aobai still felt disheartened that the things he had learned were useless, because in his eyes in those worlds, As long as it is not the first, it is waste.

Looking back now, in fact, the skills he learned are the most authentic and reliable.

No, it's all coming in handy now.

Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua were persuaded a little, but not enough.

"Mom and Dad, let me show you the results of my live broadcast in the past two days."

Su Aobai tapped a few times on the phone screen and entered his account homepage.

The backstage shows that the highest number of people in the live broadcast room in his two live broadcasts was 7233. After deducting the platform share for the two live broadcasts, he received a total of 927 yuan in rewards.

This number is definitely not too much for the two elders, but even if they don't understand live broadcast, they understand that it is just the beginning, and it is already very good to have such an income.

"Is this the money you earned these two days?"

The reason why Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua worked so hard to earn money was not because their son knew how to spend money without doing anything, and they were afraid that the money they saved now would not be enough for him to spend in the future.

If the son can earn money, their previous worries are unnecessary.

"I didn't earn it, but our family of three earned it together. Look at the comments from the audience. They all praised Dad for your good cooking skills. I followed your steps to make a few dishes, and the family all praised them as delicious. , They also praised mom for her good memory, so many people order food, mom can remember which table ordered what dish, and which table ordered the same dish first, so parents and you are also included in the income a portion."

The old man and old lady who were coaxed by Su Aobai's words were very happy, and hurriedly pulled Su Aobai to find out those messages, and then read them with relish.

When he saw countless bullet screens saying that the chickens should stop, the old man's eyes became slits with a smile.

"These kids didn't see it, hahaha."

"In the future, the income from live broadcasting will definitely increase, so we don't need to tire ourselves at all. After the meal is ordered, my dad and I will think of a special limited dish every day. Firstly, it is to retain customers, and secondly, it is also a The business of the live teaching content will definitely not be worse than before, even if some customers will be lost, but this part of the loss can be earned back through the live broadcast, and the most important thing is that parents don’t have to be as tired as before.”

Listening to their son's well-founded analysis, Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua realized that the child had really grown up.

Seeing their son confidently planning the future, the couple have no reason to refuse, but they also said that the store will continue to operate as before for three days. During these three days, they will post a notice of store rectification, and I will tell regular customers about the changes in store management when they come to the door. At any rate, these old customers who have supported the small shop for decades have to have a process of adaptation.

This was the insistence of the old couple, and Su Aobai agreed.

"It's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Su Quangen waved at his son. He still had some private conversations with his wife. What his son said tonight made him happy, and he had to reminisce with his dearest pillow.

"Wait a minute, mom's medicated oil, I'll apply it to dad, I'm strong."

Su Aobai didn't leave, and reached out to ask the old lady for medicinal oil.

Now, the old couple laughed even more happily, and the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes were filled with uplifting smiles.

*****

On Monday, Su Tianyuan was going to reapply for an ID card, and by the way, apply for a temporary ID card.

Not long after he left the house, he received a call from his father.

It turned out that he left his wallet at home after leaving home that day. Dad told him to go back and get the wallet, and said he would give him a chance to get the 200,000 he wanted from his grandparents.

Yesterday, the trade union worked overtime to make a short video for him. After uploading the video, the response was also good. Now it has 120,000 hits.

At this moment, Su Tianyuan regained his confidence again. Sure enough, with his appearance, even if he couldn't do the live broadcast, he could become popular through other means. Now he doesn't fear his father, on the contrary, he can't wait to go home. The short video with tens of thousands of clicks was thrown in front of his father.

So Su Tianyuan greeted Zhang Lang and hurried home.

At this moment, most of the breakfast guests have finished eating, and the lunch market has not yet started. Su Tianyuan walked into the house, looked around casually, and was only puzzled when he saw the notice posted on the wall, but He never cared about what business was going on in the store, and his eyes were more on the few fixed cameras in the restaurant.

Is his dad really going to broadcast live? Does he know live streaming?

Su Tianyuan curled his lips, wanting his dad to watch his short video even more.

As for the previous two episodes of live broadcast black history, he didn't want to be seen by his father in his life, it would definitely be a shame to him.

"Yo, come back from afar?"

Su Aobai came out from the kitchen, from afar was the name of Su Tianyuan's previous live broadcast room.

The young man's face flushed instantly, angry and ashamed.

This secret, how did this secret come to light!

"Xiao Yuan, you're back."

Following Su Aobai came out Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua. The two old men had nothing in their hands, but his old man who never worked had a basin of washed dishes in his hand.

This made Su Tianyuan instantly alert.

What made his father change so much?

It must not be that his father has suddenly become diligent. It must be some kind of method, some kind of method to gain the favor of his grandparents.

It turns out that the struggle among the gnawing elders has become so intense!
