Lu Li lived in Yangcheng for a week, saw the middle of June, and was ready to return, "Leave tomorrow?" Li Zhengrong smacked his lips regretfully, "It's okay, anyway, it will take less than a few days to come over, let's get together again then, right?" ”

"Yes." Lu Li nodded with a smile, "Brother Rong, I have something to ask you for help with." That's the case, my subject graduated from college this year, and it's almost summer vacation, and she may take her brother to Hong Kong at that time, I'll let them come to you first, and you will entertain you for a few days? ”

Li Zhengrong opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Are you okay?" What, I want to invite my brother-in-law to Hong Kong? ”

"Actually, it's not an outsider, you just ask them in the third year of junior high school, they all cut the queue together in the merchant forest back then. One year younger than me, he has been my follower since he was a child,...... When the time comes, I will introduce you to each other. ”

"I didn't say it, my younger brother's younger brother, just like my younger brother, promised to arrange it for you - by the way, how did you pick them up and take them to Hong Kong?"

"It depends, if you can, take him there, if you can't, it's nothing, just take a trip to the south. Oh, also, Xu Yunjian won't leave with me for a while, let him live with you, no problem, right? ”

Li Zhengrong couldn't help but smile, and patted him on the shoulder, "I said, Xu Yunjian listens to you the most, and he should take care of him, you spoil him so much, when will you be a head?" ”

"What else can I do? You know his temper, and he's the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing. Fortunately, the time is not long, and the girl is not far from the holiday, so let them go with them when the time comes, and everyone will be lively. ”

"Okay, rest early today, and I'll drive you over early tomorrow morning."

Luli nodded, and went to rest. There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, he and Li Zhengrong took turns driving until they arrived in Pengcheng, "Didn't you say that you still want to go to see Liu Ju?" Why don't you go? ”

"No, I changed my mind temporarily. After I'm ready in Hong Kong and I'm sure that this kind of thing can be used in my hot pot restaurant, I'll contact him about the transportation. For now, let's go back to Hong Kong first. Lu Li got out of the car with simple luggage, turned around and said, "Brother Rong, go back and see the old man, rest here for a day before leaving, driving back and forth like this, I'm too tired to panic." ”

Li Zhengrong rested his elbow on the side of the car window, and smacked him funny and moved, "You, you have to be a mouthy mother-in-law when you are *** old, good guy, catch up with the old lady so nagging!" Get out of here, see you later. ”

"See you later." Luli smiled and waved goodbye to him, turned his head and walked into the gate. Entering the Kowloon boundary, take a few stops by minibus to Tai Kok Street in Kowloon City, and look at the clock hanging above the driver's head before getting off the bus, it is exactly 11:45. According to the experience of doing business these days, this time period is the busiest time, but Lu Li stepped into the hot pot restaurant, only three or two tables of guests were dining, and the vegetables and meat on the conveyor belt were moving with the machinery one by one, and the plates returned to the original point, and there were only three or five empty seats scattered together, which showed the sales situation!

"Huan...... Mr. Lu? It was Meng Xiaofei who stood at the door to greet the guest, and when she saw him coming back, the girl's face turned red, "Lu Sheng, are you back?" ”

"It's not going well, is it?" Luli asked bluntly.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, Lu Sheng, we all discussed, if the business is really bad, you can subtract part of our salary, we are not afraid! ”

This was something Luli didn't expect, he stopped in surprise and looked back at the girl, "Did you think of it yourself, or what?" ”

"I ...... And...... Jack and I think so, Jack said, Mr. Lu is very fair, we didn't work for long, we were paid three months' salary as a bonus, and now Mr. Lu is in trouble, we can't do that ruthless and unjust. ”

"Thank you," Lu Li smiled movingly, turned to look at Cao Xun and Gu Zhong who came over, and nodded to them, "It's hard work." Is there anything going on in the store? ”

"Yes, and a lot." Cao Xun took his luggage and handed it to others, and said to him: "Let's talk to you little by little." Come, let's sit down and talk. ”

Lu Li suddenly remembered and shouted loudly: "Put my luggage slowly, the things inside can't be touched." Eggs? You help me get it upstairs, and there are four kinds of bottles in it, and each one takes one bottle down. Let's do an experiment later. ”

"What, still experimenting?" Li Tiehan muttered and went upstairs with his luggage.

"Come, let's sit down and talk." Lu Li pulled out a chair and sat down first, "Business matters, has it always been like this?" ”

"Yes, today is good, usually, there are not even three or two tables of guests here, I calculated with Lao Cao, taking today as an example, if calculated according to the cost, we will lose 3,624.77 yuan." Gu Zhong did not hide his worries, his face was like eating a bitter melon, and he pulled the elder. "Brother Li, do you have to find a way?"

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out." Lu Li is actually not sure at all, but as a leader, if even he has the same sighing expression, the people below will be even more confused! So I knew I was lying, so I had to say it. "As for how to figure it out, we'll discuss it later, Cao Xun, what's the matter, you can talk about it together?"

"Originally, Ah Zhong said the same thing, but I won't mention it, I said the rest, first of all, Cai Ji, he made several phone calls in a row to ask if you have come back; I also ran several times, and when he saw me, he thought that the two of us came back together, but the company didn't come back, and he didn't believe it, thinking that you handed over the business to someone else and refused to give it to him. ”

Lu Li laughed, Wei Laicai got a ton of vegetables from Pengcheng last time, and he made a lot of money, and then he recognized this way to make a fortune! "You go on."

"Later, I explained to him for a long time, and he finally believed it. But before leaving, I said that as soon as you come back, ask him to call him as soon as possible. Cao Xun said with a smile: "The second thing is about lawyer Zhang, Alan has also been here a few times, the house purchased in Kennedy Town has completed the transfer procedures, if you don't have more requirements for decoration, you can move in immediately-this is his original words?" As for the cost, it is 645,000 yuan in total, plus some other expenses such as transfer fees and water and electricity costs, a total of 725,500 yuan. He said that if you come back, go to him as soon as possible, and settle the rest of the legal formalities, and this property can be officially counted as your real estate. ”

"Well, what else?"

"Anything else, let Ah Zhong talk to you."

Gu Zhong was not polite, and took over the conversation, "Brother Li, you told me last time that my second uncle would find someone to be responsible for the transportation of vegetables, and this matter has been resolved." The other party is Brother Zhong of Yuen Long Container Yard. Well, I'll tell you the truth, over there in the Yuen Long Container Yard, Brother Zhong is the top veteran driver, he is familiar with the people, and the roads are complete, he has not been to Pengcheng many times, but he also knows a little bit about it. According to the local price in Yuen Long, each trip to Pengcheng is 370 yuan. If we want more, there is still room for negotiation in terms of price. Oh, my second uncle also said that over there in the Yuen Long container yard, how many cars do you need is a matter of one sentence. ”

"What kind of car are they using? How are they going to solve the problem of transporting vegetables and keeping them fresh? ”

"Yes, it's up to you, Ligos, to make your own decisions. Brother Shan said that refrigerated container trucks are available, but the number is far less than that of ordinary container trucks, so if you have requirements in this regard, you should increase the freight as appropriate. ”

"How much?"

"Between 25 and 40."

Lu Li calculated in his heart, even if it is the highest 40, it is only around 520 yuan, according to the agreement between him and Yan Guoen, half of the freight will be paid, and it will only be around 260 yuan, which is completely an affordable price, "Well, you go on, what else?" ”

"That's the news from my second uncle. But I didn't promise my second uncle, the big idea is still to be taken by Ligo, right? ”

Lu Li nodded, and shook his head again, "In this way, you go back and tell your second uncle, just say what I said, the basic freight cannot exceed 280." If it's higher than that, I don't want it. In the same way, I go back from Pengcheng with a car, I give 280, and in the case of using a refrigerated container truck, I add 25, that is, even if I use a refrigerated truck, I give up to 350, and I give 3,500 for ten trips, which is the highest price, and if he can get it at a price lower than this, the rest of the money will be his. I'll take 3,500 bucks out. ”

Gu Zhong's brain quickly calculated, the transportation volume of a day is more than 40 tons, and the small refrigerated truck can load a little more than two tons at most, that is to say, it takes more than 20 trips, and it is about 7,000 yuan a day. "Cheng, no problem, I will definitely convey the words to Brother Li. My second uncle has me on the side, so it shouldn't be a problem. But, Liego, what if the other party doesn't agree? ”

"Then find someone else, I don't believe that there will be only one container yard in Yuen Long in Hong Kong, right?"

"Understood." Gu Zhong grinned and nodded vigorously, "Brother Li, don't worry, there will be news back tomorrow at the latest." ”

Lu Li looked at Cao Xun again, "How is it, when will you come back?" Are you okay at home? ”

"We set off a few days after you and Xu Yunjian left, and the family is fine, Auntie asked me to tell you, don't be too tired, remember that you must rush back in October to get married to you and your sister-in-law."

Gu Zhong had already walked away, but when he heard the words, he quickly turned back, "Brother Li, is there a happy event near?" ”

Luli smiled and nodded, "If there are no accidents, yes." ”

"Great! We...... Hey, you're going back to the mainland for a ceremony, right? We can't go to the ceremony. ”

"It's okay, I've thought about it, if I come back to Hong Kong, she and I will have another ceremony. When the time comes, please join us. ”

Gu Zhong clapped his hands, "Great!" When the time comes, it will be lively for Brother Li and sister-in-law. By the way, when are you going to do it? ”

"Well, let's discuss it later." Luli looked over his shoulder and into the staircase, "Hey, take it down?" Let me see. ”

Li Tiehan took his travel bag upstairs, took it down again, put it on the table, and muttered and scolded: "What kind of mess is it?" Or do you come on your own? ”

Lu Li laughed and ordered, "Cao Xun, go, get three hot pots, let's do experiments." ”

Cao Xun didn't know why he wanted three hot pots, but he still obediently moved out with his companions, Lu Li took out a few bottles and jars from his travel bag, opened them one by one and put them next to the hot pot, took a bottle and looked at it, "This is, well, bean paste, eat this kind of hot pot, this thing is the first important, and it must not be missing." He scooped up a tablespoon and dissolved it into the pot, and the boiling water melted the sauce in an instant, and the bottom of the pot began to turn sauce red, and then opened another package, which contained something that everyone recognized: a small red pepper.

Grabbed a few chili peppers and threw them into the soup, waited until the chili peppers were soaked and soaked in the soup, and confirmed that the soup base already had the aroma of chili peppers, he scooped up a little with a spoon, pursed his lips and tasted it, and spat it out, "Fuck, no! It's not delicious at all! ”

Cao Xun gradually understood after a while, he seemed to be adding some seasoning to the soup base of the hot pot, took the spoon and scooped it, it was spicy and salty, and his tongue was burning, but it was not as unpalatable as he appeared? "Xiaoxiao, is the amount wrong? I feel too spicy, can't we try again - less this time? ”

"No, it doesn't taste right." Lu Li crossed his arms and looked at this different hot pot with a red soup base, and stayed for a while, "Over oil, over fried!" Let's try again. ”

So light the gas, put a frying spoon on the shelf, wait until the oil temperature gradually rises, push the chili, pepper, green onion, sugar, tempeh, bean paste and other things one by one, fry on high heat for a while, and wait until the whole kitchen is filled with the fragrance of various raw materials, take an empty hot pot, pour it into the pot, add the stock, and someone takes the red charcoal and throws it in, after a while, the water is loud, and the stock begins to boil.

Luley picked up the spoon a second time, scooped it and licked it, "Ah, it's almost time this time." He took a plate of mutton nearby, picked up a slice and put it in the pot, took it out, took a hard bite, and hissed, "It's so spicy, it's so spicy!" Oops, it's spicy! Hey, you can taste it too......"

Hong Kong people rarely eat such spicy food, Gu Zhong and Ah Mao and others looked at each other, and they all had a little wrapping up, "Try it, although it is spicy, it is very delicious." Really, I don't lie to you. ”

Gu Zhong stiffened his head, picked up a piece of raw meat and put it in the pot, took it out, and took a bite, it was indeed very spicy, not only spicy, but also numb! The tip of the tongue was itchy and crispy, as if he couldn't taste any other tastes, "Oh, Brother Li, it's so numb?" ”

"It's hemp, indeed." Luli's first experiment was a success, and he danced with joy! "This, let's be cheap ourselves, and when there are customers coming to the door, we will focus on recommending it, let them try it, and ensure that there is a market! Hey, bring me beer. Let's have a good time! ”

Cao Xun and Li Tiehan ate spicy and fragrant mouthfuls, but the top of their heads, face, chest and back were sweating like pulp, and they couldn't wait to take off their clothes, which was enjoyable, but because of the presence of girls, it was not good to do that.

In fact, not only the two of them, but the men and women in the store all looked sweaty, and Meng Xiaofei and several other girls were even more delicate and beautiful, like spring flowers! "Lu Sheng, you have such a good brain, this ...... Oops, what a pleasure to eat! ”

Lu Li also saw beads of sweat on the tip of his nose and sideburns, he bared his teeth, picked up a pen and paper, and hastily recorded it, "This, I have written down the approximate amount of materials, and when I go back and do it again, I will cut the material according to this ratio." However, I'm worried that some people can't eat such a heavy spicy taste, let's go back and study to see if we can reduce it a little, in addition, this hot pot also has to be transformed, go back to Temple Street, and let people add two stainless steel iron plates to the central part, divided into two sides, one side is spicy, and the other side is clear soup. Whoever wants to eat whatever flavor is on which side of the shabu. Well, that's the name...... Mandarin duck pot. ”
