In front of this shop called "Ji Shen Shi Kao", there are already more than a dozen people waiting in line, and many people are attracted by it. The taste is represented by Sichuan style. One is to order all five Sichuan styles in the store. A whole string of squid 13 yuan. In just one hour, more than 100 skewers of grilled squid have been sold. Unlike the common grilled squid on the street, the main product of this shop is to roast the whole squid with stones. Different from the ordinary barbecue grill, this kind of barbecue grill with a length of about 1 m is covered with black stones, and squid is baked with high-temperature stones.
The booming business naturally kept the two chefs busy. The boy kept baking the freshly thawed string of squid on the stone to a certain extent, and then put the squid into the nearby marinade pot. The girl is in charge of the last process, taking out the seasoned squid and brushing the squid string with seasoning according to the customer's taste. Tacitly, their tender faces were flushed with fire, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
Two chefs, a girl named Diao and a boy named Hu, are only 20 years old this year. They have just entered their senior year and are students of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Diao Han Jing has fair skin and a sweet smile. Although it is a barbecue, the makeup on the face is exquisite and looks beautiful and fashionable. Do things quickly, greet guests lively and enthusiastic, and make her a living signboard in the store. Many customers deliberately wanted to take photos with her after eating, and slowly, the title of "squid beauty" spread. Many netizens expressed envy, poking fun at the delicious squid, moving eyes and the happiness of a virtuous wife. The afternoon before yesterday, a middle-aged couple came by car from the camp gate just to taste the stone-roasted squid. They were surprised when they saw Diao Hanjing. Unexpectedly, a beautiful little girl came to barbecue. They tasted every flavor and took a photo with Diao Han Jing in front of the store, which was full of praise for the young people.
Start a business in junior year.
Before opening the store, the two started from a roadside stall. "Now that I think about it, I am too tired to look back." As Hu spoke, he turned the squid string on the stone. Hu studied business administration and Diao studied advertising design. In their sophomore year, they met on a dating website and finally fell in love. Diao Han Jing lives in the countryside and has a younger sister. Although the family is not difficult, she feels that it is very hard for her parents to make money. She doesn't want to ask her parents for money for everything. For self-reliance, the young couple started their own business from their junior year.
At first, they imitated and set up stalls on the roadside. They chose the common grilled squid skewers, that is, "10 yuan 6 skewers of small squid". He also spent hundreds of yuan to find a barbecue chef to learn, but Hu felt that he had learned nothing. "The master left a hand, didn't teach it seriously, and learned it and couldn't operate it." After that, I found a master through a friend and learned the barbecue technology. Last year, 65438+ 10 was perfected. The two men set up stalls on the roadside, operated various flavors and officially opened. At first, in order not to delay the study, both of them set up their stalls at three or four in the afternoon, which basically lasted until the early hours of the morning. One stop is nearly 10 hour. The most painful thing is that the weather is cold. They have to peel the frozen squid one by one, and then they have to go back and wear it until two or three in the morning. During the Spring Festival, Hu and his wife returned to their hometown to shoot floods. In a park on the mountain, they scattered five booths with their friends. In just seven days during the Spring Festival, the two earned100000 yuan, accumulating the cost of opening a shop.
In April this year, the couple spent 80,000 yuan to buy this 30-square-meter store in Jianshe Lane, and then spent 20,000 yuan on equipment and decoration. After that, it officially opened, and soon attracted a large number of customers with the characteristics and taste of stone barbecue. Diao Han Jing said that when business is good, the store sells more than 500 skewers of grilled squid every day, and on average, the monthly turnover is about 654.38+ 10,000 yuan.
Secret of Entrepreneurship: Stone Achievement Store
Hu, who has studied business administration, knows that in order to succeed, he must be different, and he must build brands and creativity. He read a lot of business books in the library and kept looking for projects online. He happened to find that there are many stone pot series dishes in Chengdu, and there are stones that can be heated at high temperature on the Internet. After discussion, they decided to create a stone to roast squid. After several attempts, Hu finally found a factory and made the barbecue grill that is now used. The shelf is filled with stones, the electric heating tube heats the stones, and the squid is directly roasted on the stones. Diao used his own advertising design knowledge to design shop signs, and displayed their entrepreneurial stories next to the shop signs, giving brand connotation. They also cooperated with TV stations to promote it in Weibo, and the business became more and more popular. Later, they applied for a patent for this innovative technology.
Roasting squid is not the ultimate development direction.
Business is booming, which naturally delays learning. The two admitted that they missed a lot of classes, and the teacher knew that they were in business, and there was no clear objection. They just hoped that they could get their diplomas. Hu and Diao said that now that they are senior, they will try their best to coordinate their studies and careers, because they clearly know that baking squid is not their ultimate development direction, and knowledge is also very important if they want to make their careers bigger.
