In Kashgar, most folk celebrations will have a drumming troupe to enhance the atmosphere. They are almost always present at openings, weddings, etc. With suona, Nahora drums or tambourines, and a big drum, two or three people can create a lively atmosphere.

The atmosphere, especially the big drum beats played with curved and thick drum sticks, is very shocking.

Originally, I wanted to spend money to hire such a special drum group to play and drum to attract popularity and notify the surrounding neighbors that we are open for business. However, people in the community once politely said that too much noise would affect the normal life of residents, so we

Avoid disturbing people during daily business activities.

The ancient city of Kashgar is the only ancient city in China that still has residential functions as its main function. Everyone has the responsibility to control noise, so I gave up the idea. However, the idea of ​​being more lively did not bother these girls, who played tambourines and hot wapu.

Almost everyone can do it, and Mi Xiaomi also took the initiative to say that within a few days after the opening, whenever she was free, she would come to the store to play guitar and sing.

"We don't use a POS machine at the cashier now, but we can use cash, WeChat, Alipay and other payment methods. When ordering, if there are few people, we will remember it in our head. If there are many people, we will order the numbers by hand. When we have more information,

If you have more money, then develop a cashier system. When taking out, follow Starbucks' example and write the words "some handsome boy" and "some beautiful girl" on the customer's cups and bowls, such as handsome boy Li. Then ask the students or teachers in your school to see who

Can develop an ordering app. If someone can develop this, we will do it in one step. We must use modern means." I told Mayisha one more thing.

Within a week after the training, the clerks were able to make qualified products after practice. Because of the practice, we also made a lot of food. If we couldn’t finish it, we gave it to neighbors and people in the community. After two days, there were already several people eating it every day.

Waiting at the door for our samples to be made.

"Brother Li, don't give them food. Really, they have hands and feet, and they are waiting at the door to eat." Re Yihan said.

I don't care. Anyway, we can't finish these samples ourselves, so don't pick on others when giving them to others. But Reyihan insists on only giving the extra samples to the staff at the police station or community. I have to say her persistence

It will be helpful in the future, at least we can get familiar with these people quickly.

I have tried and tested the roasted potatoes several times, and the time and temperature of the oven are the key to making them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Cut the roasted potatoes into two and add the sauce and sprinkle with minced meat. It is also delicious.

This is a way of eating that I created. I have eaten similar baked potatoes in Europe. The one with salad dressing, ketchup and lettuce is more like a hamburger. This little idea made the store staff worship me again. They never thought of it.

You can add additional ingredients to the baked potatoes.

"Brother Li, although this oven is not big, it is a bit wasteful to only bake potatoes. Can I bake some traditional Uyghur noodles?" Reyihan asked me.

Reyihan would make some traditional Uyghur noodles and deep-fried dumplings at home. I thought about it and realized that this custom-made oven has two layers, which can be used independently. One oven can bake forty or fifty potatoes.

There aren't many things that need to be baked, so it is indeed a bit wasteful.

I have always insisted not to make too many varieties at once, as that would overwhelm the focus and lose the focus, and one person would be too busy.

I couldn't dampen Re Yihan's enthusiasm, so I gave Re Yihan an idea. When she was not busy, she could make some pastries with Mi Re's mother at Mi Re's house and bake them in the oven in the store.

Start with a small amount, not mass sales or over-the-counter sales, but serve as promotional snacks for guests to taste.

If the effect is good, you can use your free time to do more, and let Mire's mother build a glass food cabinet to sell at the door of her house. This can increase the income of Mire's family on the one hand, and guide tourists to visit the houses on the other.

These pastry shops do not invest or make profits. The investment and profits are shared by Reyihan and Mire's mothers. This is actually a way of giving them more income, but if they are sold as store meals, it may

If the profit is high, Reyihan may be dissatisfied. After all, she is the only one who can make pastries and the bonus given to her will not be as high as the profit.

Finally, we decided to open Wasteland·Sweet. We have already missed the arrival of the peak season, but fortunately the summer vacation has not started yet, so we still have more time to use.

We didn't hold an opening ceremony, there was no need for it. Some of the flowers planted at the entrance hadn't grown yet, so I asked the neighbors to borrow a few pots of nice-looking flowers to put on the roadside of the shop.

The opening day was a weekend. Mi Xiaomi played guitar and sang at the door several times throughout the day, and all the store employees came. After a while, the girls would take turns to have one or two people play bongos and hot wapu at the door, and dance a mic from time to time.

Xilepu.

Mayisha held a self-made leaflet with a map of the ancient city printed on the back and distributed it on other roads, hoping to attract tourists to "pass by". All meals were discounted three yuan, which is already a lot for snacks.

A huge discount.

Thank God, because of the publicity and the singing and dancing performances at the door, the passenger flow was good. Although there was no queue of customers, there were still people coming to consume, and the small pastries given as a promotion were all given away by noon. There were a lot of pastries, and the first day

Bake for a day.

I asked Reyihan, and she said that the cost of materials alone was only one thousand yuan, and the valuable ones were mainly honey, butter, eggs and chopped nuts. Because she had no money, she bought the materials for one thousand yuan first.

I gave an idea and asked Mire's mother to move the chopping board to her yard and make pastries on site. Tourists can visit and take photos, but to eat the pastries, they have to wait two or three hours before they are baked and come back.

Purchase. You can order pastries, and we will deliver them to the hotel in the evening or express them back to the tourist's hometown.

Now Mire's mother used up all the remaining raw materials, and then took the time to call someone to deliver a batch of raw materials. This time the money for the raw materials was split between Mire's mother and Reyihan. They seemed to

I already feel that I have earned extra money, work hard, and smile happily.

At 9:30 in the evening, there were no tourists anymore. They probably all went back to the hotel to rest. Most of the ingredients and semi-finished products we prepared for the day were used up. At this time, we could only provide small noodles and small barbecues. We were very concerned about the raw materials.

The estimate is quite accurate.

I asked the clerk to keep telling the customers when they see them that there are not enough varieties now, and they can only provide noodles and small barbecues. If a single purchase exceeds 30, I will give them a bottle of beer as a gift.

There are almost no customers left. Most people just start preparing the ingredients for tomorrow at Mire’s house. They don’t dare to prepare more. It is expected that the number of tourists will not increase tomorrow.

Compared with tourist attractions in the mainland, there are still fewer tourists in the ancient city of Kashgar. I think as the staff’s operating proficiency improves, the store will have to switch from full staff to only two or three people after three days of opening. Students have to attend classes, and we operate the store.

It needs to be normalized, it will be exhausting if it is like now every day.

Hua Wen has been helping in the store in the past few days, and she is very happy to see that the first day of business ended smoothly. Hua Wen occasionally uses her psychology advantage to investigate the consumption mentality of some tourists. For example, some back-to-back surveys

Customers do think it is a good idea to be able to eat a variety of delicacies in one place. On the other hand, some people are worried that the taste is not authentic because the cooks in other places are not little girls.

There were very few people leaving messages on the message board, but because there was a song and dance performance, there were a lot of people taking pictures in front of our store. I told Mayisha: "We welcome all comers, as long as they want to take pictures with our waiters.

We all cooperate. We can also invite customers to dance together and teach them Uyghur dance."

Then I thought of a way to promote it. There was a security camera in the store, but it was compulsory to install it, and it was sent to the alarm center. I wanted to install another camera of my own, without the anchor, and just do a live broadcast online at different times, only providing the footage.

and the sounds on the street. I want to show you the streets, dances and musical instrument performances of the ancient city through street view live broadcast. The live broadcast camera is placed diagonally on the wall, half facing the shop signs and facades, and the other half facing the street.

Mayisha first tried the picture on her mobile phone. Because the Internet speed was not very good, the picture was a little laggy, but it was feasible to put the street and shop pictures into it. So we planned to install a broadband and WiFi when we installed the camera later.

The password is also shared with customers.

When we got home in the evening, Hua Wen and I lay on the bed in the yard. No one wanted to move anymore. We had been too busy and tired these past few days, and there were not many opportunities to sit down for a while.

"I didn't expect that working in catering would be so tiring. If I work for another two days, I probably won't be able to walk. This is still a small shop, and there are no long queues yet." Hua Wen said, tapping her legs.

"I didn't expect so many things. I have long heard that catering is tiring. It has been really tiring for more than a week. I get up at five or six o'clock every day and go to bed at one or two o'clock. Today I finally saw the money flowing in.

I feel very fulfilled. I feel that after persisting for the past few days of opening the business, it will be much easier to normalize in the future. At that time, everything will be on the right track. I don’t have to do so many things personally. There may not be as many customers as today. Today we have

The promotion is relatively strong." I answered with my eyes closed, thinking about whether to take a shower before going to bed.

"Have you settled the accounts today?" Hua Wen asked me.

"Of course, we must settle every day. This is what Mayisha and I agreed. Guess our turnover today!" I replied with some excitement.

"I don't want to guess. I'm too lazy to guess. Just let me relax for a while. I don't want to think about any problems." Hua Wen said, rubbing her arm.

"This turnover is nothing in the mainland, and may be relatively bad, but in the ancient city it is much better than I expected. With a turnover of almost 6,000 yuan, the net profit is about 3,000 yuan, which is not high.
Chapter completed!
