Yukino, you’re going to get fat after you give birth
Megu said.
Oh well. Let’s eat for now
Katsuko-nee said while smiling wryly
Okay, sure. Megumi, toss the bread in the toaster
Why is it that Yukino is the one giving orders to me?
Megu complains, but she puts the bread on the toaster
Yoshida-kun.let’s try the bread by itself
Ai took a piece, split it into two, and gave me the other.
So?
Katsuko-nee asks for our opinions.
Yeah, it’s absurdly delicious
The baked version, and the toasted version too.
You’re right, I guess that’s to be expected from a 2700 yen bread
Kana-senpai said.
I wonder what’s different? The water? The wheat flour? Yeast? Or the baking method?
Mariko tilts her head.
It’s all, I think
Ai mutters.
The ingredients are good as they’re hand-picked but the skill of the baker is amazing. Skill and experience, you can’t make these unless you have the two
Katsuko-nee said.
Putting on butter is delicious, and even the others are too. This is great for sandwiches
Megu said.
I never had this kind of pastry even in Europe
Haiji said.
I also had the high-class hotels pastry around the world but still, I never had this kind of pastry
Mariko said.
Hey, why don’t you guys become an apprentice of the craftsman who made this bread?
Yukino said jokingly.
That’s not possible
I replied with a straight face.
If we learn from that person, then this will be the only pastry we can make
What about it? If you can make something like this then it’s good, right?
Yukino speaks to me puzzled.
That won’t become our business
I.
This bread is amazing but this isn’t what set our goals for
I don’t get it. What do you mean
That’s.
It’s only been half a year since I started baking bread but, I know how much time it takes to do it. You can’t make this kind of pastry unless you’re a skilled craftsman. You can’t do it unless you constantly make the same amount every day Therefore, that craftsman sells her pastry only once a week.
Maybe if I was searching for the truth and set my goal to make the ultimate pastry, then this is good. But, this pastry is impossible for someone like me who has to support a lot of family members
True. Yoshi-kun’s goal isn’t to become a pastry master
Megu said.
Bread is bread. No matter how delicious you make it, nobody’s going to give you a medal in Japan
Kana-senpai said.
There were workers in France who received medals for popularizing French bread in Japan. Naturally, their origins were French too
Katsuko-nee said.
You also went to the foreign company hotel apart from the three I told you, haven’t you?
Yeah
I nodded.
So, does some of the bakeries matched with the bakery you’re aiming at?
That’s.
If thinking of supporting the family, then the first bakery.we have to make a high-class shop
If it’s to earn profits.
We can’t handle managing the second bakery, the one who made this pastry. As for the third bakery, it’s cheap and delicious, and it’s a cute store at the side of the street, but.
I want to make a shop like theirs, but.it can’t support everyone
Ai replies.
Indeed. Things like bread are mass-produced by the major bread manufacturers and sold cheaply to convenience stores and supermarkets, right? The ‘cheap and tasty’ route is a pain. We don’t have a mass-production system like the manufacturers, nor do we have a system for nationwide distribution. Besides, even supermarkets do sell ordinary freshly baked bread. Just because it’s a little bit more delicious doesn’t mean that it can compete. I don’t think we’ll be able to survive if we don’t aim for a high-quality bread that’s more expensive than mass-market bread, but that’s as good as the price in this age Katsuko-nee makes it clear.
Recently there are more and more people like the person who makes this bread who is offering to send baked bread to you by courier service across the country, but the courier service takes a long time to get it to you. It doesn’t reach them freshly baked Therefore, Katsuko-nee had us go to the bakery personally.
But still.I want.the customers to buy from the shop.
Ai said.
Also, Katsuko-san.Ai. don’t want.to increase the stores
Then, we won’t be expanding into chains
Katsuko-nee smiles.
Yes.I always.want to see which.of the bread I made.the customers buy
If we open a second or third branch, then it becomes harder to view the situation of the stores as you’re absent.
But, if we think of increasing the profits, then it will be hard
Katsuko-nee continues.
Even if it’s a high-class specialist bakery, you have to bake every day and continue selling
Yeah, some buy their breakfast and lunch bread, right? Then, lunch bread at lunch. Then, teatime bread during the afternoon. Then, at night, people buy on their way home from work, or as a present, or bread for breakfast.you have to make varieties of bread and put them out in the store all the time I said.
That’s right. You have to be ready for it
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
Are you not going to open a teatime corner?
Mariko asks.
The first shop had that area, but.
Oh, it had a good atmosphere, right
Kana-senpai said.
Kana, you have bad taste. That shop could use a little better tableware at least
Oh. Katsuko-nee, the shop there were fussing about their furnishings but they use disposable cups for their coffee or other drinks
I explained.
If it’s disposable, then there’s no need to wash it right? If it’s cups, someone has to wash it, and you’ll need a place to dry it. But if it’s a disposable container, then you won’t need to use it again. The space of the backyard forces them to use disposable containers. Besides, if you use disposable cups, you can’t drop it or break it That’s.
If you bring out good porcelain cups to your customers, you’ll assume that they’ll break during the business. So, how much loss is tolerable? That’s another thing you have to investigate
Right. If it’s a hotel, then they have to use porcelain absolutely for their reputation, but in exchange, the price of a drink is high. I’m sure they keep dozens of the same cups and they have a room in the back to wash and dry them Kana-senpai said.
You also have to think about how many employees are you going to invest in. If you lack in personnel, then it’ll become chaotic in the washing area and then you’ll have insufficient tableware, that would be laughable, don’t you think?
Oh, that. I’ve seen that over the net. The store was short on staff that they couldn’t wash the dishes in time, so they had to turn everything into disposable to-go containers
Megu said.
Then that means, the first shop wasn’t using disposables because they want to
It’s either the labor costs or the space in the store.
Anyway, they have reasons why they can’t bring ordinary cups for their drinks.
Haa. I thought that the manager of the shop doesn’t know how to do it but it seems that I should’ve thought of them having those problems
Mariko said.
Yes. Don’t arbitrarily decide on the case. At least, the three bakeries I introduced to you already have high ratings from others. The people from the store already know what you’re thinking, and they’re doing it because they have no choice Yeah.
They already are aware of the things we high school students thought upon.
They know and yet, they have no choice. It’s common.
We’re going to do a joint coffeehouse in the school festival, aren’t we? That’s a good opportunity to forecast a lot of things
Katsuko-nee said.
How many people do we expect to have at a time, and how many people we can entertain. How many services can we add before we lack in personnel? Imagine the crowded and empty times on a day, and think of how to deal with it. We’re going to make it a simulation of how to run a store Chapter 1076. Pastry Filled Adventure Love Tug of War
