Chapter 100: Heading South
"My mother has never been to the south in her life, so I just went to see the scenery over there, and then I would take the train back. Dad doesn't go out this year, so he will be at home during this time, and there is nothing to be busy at this time anyway. β
Zhang Chu's mother in her previous life has always had a regret, that is, she didn't go out to see it. At that time, Zhang Chu and they were not very stable, and there was no property outside, so it was difficult to take her out, but now it can be realized.
Zhang Chu's mother couldn't be excited for the whole Spring Festival because of this decision. The attraction of the south to her is too great, second only to the Great Castle Gate of Kyoto.
At the forefront of reform and opening up, next to it are the rich and oily big cities such as Xiangjiang and Las Vegas. In their eyes, these places are places where gold is picked up on the ground, can she not be excited?
When he had the opportunity, Zhang Chu felt that he could take his mother to see the Great City Gate of Kyoto, which was a sacred place in the hearts of the older generation. It's a pity that in his previous life, Zhang Chu didn't do it.
Zhang Chu's house in Dongxiao had been cleaned up a few years ago, and several of them had a place to settle in the past, and they were not afraid of having no place to live.
When I came back from the south a few years ago, the car was full of things I bought from the south, as well as supplies and seafood for my family.
When I went up a year later, the car was still very full. It is full of all kinds of special products brought at home, as well as all kinds of food made at home.
Zhang Chu's family raised a lot of chickens last year, and Zhang Chu's mother also caught a few chickens to bring over. If it weren't for the fact that the car couldn't fit so much, she probably would have to stuff a lot of things into it.
Chickens cannot be placed in the car, only tied to the roof. At this time, it is not at high speed, and the traffic police on the road will not check these. Otherwise, the chickens will have to be confiscated and fined.
"This is Yangcheng. β
Zhang Chu and the others set off from home in the middle of the night and arrived in Yangcheng in the morning. Zhang Chu, who was driving, was in good spirits, and Xu Liang was driving with him.
After arriving in Yangcheng, Zhang Chu deliberately took a carload of people around several more famous places for a while. This is a provincial city in the south, and it is still a pity not to turn around here.
Especially the symbol of those sheep, which is the symbol of Yangcheng, it is indispensable to turn down.
"This city is really big, much bigger than ours, and the buildings are a lot taller. And the train, which is the first time I've seen it. β
Zhang Chu's mother is here for the first time, and Zhang Chu's future sister-in-law is also coming to the south for the first time. In fact, the people in the car, except for Zhang Chu, who had walked around Yangcheng, everyone else was just passing by in a hurry.
When you really walk around this city, you can feel the bigness of this city, as well as the prosperity of these places, which is not comparable to a small city.
After having lunch in Yangcheng, they continued to the east. Zhang Chu didn't go to Liu Camellia's brother-in-law to have a look, there will be opportunities in the future, and now he is with his family.
"This is where you do business, it looks like it's in our city, and it's not very prosperous. β
After arriving at the store, Zhang Chu's mother looked at Zhang Chu's store, and then looked around. Everywhere there is a dense density of high-rise buildings and alleys, as well as vehicles coming and going.
"This is a town on someone's side, this is not a city. β
After hearing this, Zhang Yan replied with a smile, she is now responsible for explaining the situation to Zhang Chu's mother on a full-time basis. However, at this time, Dongzhen City is actually not big, there is nothing to see, and it is not as good as a few big towns.
While she was talking, Ma Xiaoyan inside heard the movement outside, and opened the roller shutter from the inside, startling Zhang Chu's mother outside.
looked at Ma Xiaoyan with a look of surprise, this girl is good-looking, she looks very eye-catching, but how could she come out of her son's shop?
"This is the person invited by the second brother, I didn't go home during the Spring Festival, so I stayed here to watch the store. β
After Zhang Yan looked at her mother's reaction, she explained to her, and then said hello to Ma Xiaoyan.
"Sister Xiaoyan, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Ma Xiaoyan seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the strong light outside, squinting her eyes and saying hello to a few people, Zhang Yan introduced her to Zhang's mother, as well as Zhang Yong's fiancΓ©e, Zhang Yong came last year.
Zhang's mother has been looking at Ma Xiaoyan curiously, Rao is Ma Xiaoyan has always been more extroverted, and at this moment, she was also very uncomfortable with Zhang's mother.
This girl has a good body, and she looks white and tender, and she looks like a good girl. Zhang Chu recruited such a girl to do things, and even handed over the store to Ma Xiaoyan to see, this must not be simple!
What Zhang Chu's mother didn't think about was that there was actually nothing in this store, and Ma Xiaoyan didn't go home and had nowhere to go during the Spring Festival. That's why Zhang Chu is so relieved to hand over the store to her, otherwise just lock it directly.
After coming back, Zhang Chu gave Ma Xiaoyan, Zhang Yan and Xu Liang one by one to start the city, all of which were 100 yuan each. This is to tell the moral that there is this custom here in the south.
However, relatively speaking, Zhang Chu gave a lot of red envelopes. At this time, he can give employees a hundred yuan to start the city, and Zhang Chu can definitely be regarded as a generous boss.
After settling down here, Zhang Chu took Zhang Yong and the two of them to see the place first. The store was next to it, and the original owner had already left, so Zhang Chu opened the door directly to see.
Zhang Yong and the others were very satisfied after looking at the shop next to them, there are many people here, and they are close to Zhang Chu, and the important thing is that the rent is cheap.
The two shops were combined, and Zhang Chu only collected a rent of 1,05 a month. Here Zhang Chu originally wanted to increase the price and then rent it out, but now the price has been reduced.
And Zhang Chu's plan, Zhang Yong and the two have no opinion. Zhang Chu paid 100,000 yuan to account for more than half of the shares, Zhang Yong and the two of them paid 50,000 yuan plus their husband and wife accounted for half of the small shares.
Decorate the store together, and the main specialty food. The cashier uses the system to settle the bill, and Zhang Chu promised to make a set of systems for free, which is used for the cashier in the store, so that it is convenient to see the daily income.
This is also to facilitate reconciliation, in the face of money, even if it is a brother, sometimes it is better to standardize. Those brothers and sons who fell out for money are not a few.
And the ordering system here is much simpler than the cash register system that Zhang Chu made before, Zhang Chu has also been in contact with this piece of things before, and has experience in this area.
It's pure ordering, and there's no need to buy anything from the kitchen. However, there are things to consider, and they are relatively simple and easy to use, otherwise Zhang Yong and Zhang Chu would have to train well.
Zhang Chu's mother didn't understand this, she saw that Zhang Chu was willing to bring her brothers and sisters to earn money together after making money, and the relationship between the three brothers and sisters was harmonious, which was enough.
Young people have a young world, and after she came to Dongxiao, she is familiar with everything that is unfamiliar here, and she can't provide any advice on such things as opening a restaurant.
"How's your module going?"
After the official start of construction, Zhang Chu first asked about the progress of Ma Xiaoyan's side. Although he has been a little busy when he goes back for the New Year, he still uses the evening to roughly prepare it.
"I've already revised it here, and you tested it before you came over, and there is no problem. β
After hearing this, Ma Xiaoyan replied that Zhang Chu's family coming over did not have much impact on her. Zhang Chu's mother is now helping to cook, and Zhang Yong and the two have been watching the decoration of the shop over there, and they have not interfered with this side.
At most, when she was eating, she ate with Zhang Chu and them, and she just spoke her hometown dialect that she couldn't understand, and she didn't need to face these other times.
"Okay! The module on my side is also completed, you update the code and test it together, and I'll come out with the whole catering applet first." β
After hearing this, Zhang Chu replied with a smile, if his catering applet is good to use, maybe it can be promoted by the way in the future. Although the scope of this is not large, it is also income.
"Zhang Chu, have you ever thought about setting up a software division to separate it from the hardware?"
Ma Xiaoyan listened to Zhang Chu's words and suddenly asked, now with the system of the mixing plant, there are already two sets of software for sale, Zhang Chu is going to build an ordering system, she has some ideas.
"Well, I'm already working on this. After the renovation and decoration of the upstairs side, our side will be split, one for related hardware and installation, and the other for software development. β
After hearing this, Zhang Chu smiled and replied, he had been thinking about this idea many years ago.
"Do you have any classmates or juniors who are familiar with this part of the programming? If they are interested, they can help me keep an eye on it. β
This Zhang Chu just asked casually, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to find someone, after all, Ma Xiaoyan's school is still quite a famous school, and those students probably can't look down on it.
