There is a fast food restaurant not far from the entrance of the community, I have eaten here a few times, because I am used to the taste of sesame oil stir-fry, I am more sensitive to the taste of other oils, and fast food restaurants in order to control costs, I will not follow my heart, therefore, if it is not a special situation, I will not come again.
If I don't come, it doesn't mean that other people's stores are not doing well. In fact, the business of this fast food restaurant is quite hot, especially when the weather is warm, the lunch meal, which can be described as the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers, and the sharing of tables has become the norm. In the summer, it is even more difficult to hold a bowl or squat or sit on the doorstep to eat.
The small restaurant is good to buy, but the location is superior, the amount is large and affordable, as for the taste, it is secondary. The location is excellent, not only because it is close to several neighborhoods, but most importantly because of the small factories, wholesale departments, warehouses and small construction sites nearby. There are a lot of people doing work here, so I hurriedly fooled around at noon and found a place to rest.
The amount is large and affordable, and it is not calculated according to the amount of greasy people like me. The amount of his family is so large that a working person can eat enough, and there is free soup. Affordable means that the ** of all kinds of rice bowls and noodles is basically controlled within 15 yuan, and 20 yuan can be eaten very well, good wine, and you can also drink a bottle of beer or a glass of liquor to relieve fatigue.
It's hard to think about such a small restaurant without being popular. In the more than ten years since its opening, the aging that the boss and the lady have seen are worth the hard work: not to mention anything else, his car on the roadside parking space has been upgraded from tens of thousands of yuan to more than 100,000 yuan.
Since the Chinese New Year, fast food restaurants have been closed. I thought it was the boss who felt too hard and wanted to rest for a few more days, but I didn't expect to pass by yesterday and see that his house was dealing with kitchen utensils. People who like to write are curious, so they come forward to ask. After a few words of a cigarette, we know the reason for the boss's closure.
It turned out that in the past few years, fast food restaurants were open intermittently, and there was no way, everyone was like this. After last year's normal, his thriving business is no longer what it used to be. The overcrowded scene in my impression is really a memory error, there are still a lot of people, but compared with previous years, it is too much worse.
There are few people, and it is also something that the boss cannot control. First of all, the residents of the nearby community now go home to cook when they can go home, reducing the opportunity to eat out. Our small town is not a big city, so there is still time to go home and cook a meal at noon.
Most of the nearby construction sites have not started, the warehouses have disappeared for some reason, and the large yard has become barren and overgrown. The gates of those small factories were also closed, and there was not even a single security guard to guard the door. Nowadays, the main consumer group of fast food restaurants has become random customers such as couriers who deliver goods nearby, and they are not profitable when they look lively. In the words of the boss, if they can't get up in a restaurant, they are yellow.
The boss closed the fast food restaurant, and he didn't stop there. People who are used to doing small business will find it difficult to work again. He discussed with his daughter-in-law, and went back to his hometown for the New Year, and felt that the county town could continue to do it. simply closed the door and went back to the county seat to open a small restaurant.
After saying goodbye to my boss, I thought about where I had been over the past year. It's as if it's harder to make money, and some accounts, too, you owe me and I owe you, and it's hard to recover. Not to mention the owner of the fast food restaurant, the store department that my family has been operating for many years has also changed from a company to a self-employed person, from a self-employed person to a cancellation. The vacant houses rented around the store, one after another, the rent has dropped again and again, and it is difficult to rent out.
My friends teased me as the "restaurant terminator", and there were only a few small restaurants left that were still in operation.
I don't know if the road ahead will be easier.
