Chapter XXXVIII
"The scenery of the Xijin River is really different when you look at it during the day and at night. www.biquge.info"Xu Lan and Chen Chong leaned against the window, enjoying the scenery of the Xijin River.
"I look at it every day, but I can't see anything. In the past, I often picked up a few stones while I didn't notice playing in the river and came back, but every time my mother knew about it, and then reprimanded her. Chen Chonghan said.
These are fond memories of childhood.
"It's not that big yet."
"Hey, hey, I haven't been there in two years. My brother didn't go much after he started reading. ”
"How old is your brother?"
"It's fifteen this year, and I'm going to take the Xiucai exam, and now I'm studying hard at home every day."
"Then you don't have to study?"
"Who said I don't have to read, I also read every day, every morning for an hour and an hour in the afternoon."
"And how did you get here today?"
"Hehe, I transferred Mu Xiu, anyway, Uncle Zhu in the house taught me, it's very convenient. Zhu Bo is a guest in our house. ”
Xiao Er has already started to serve the food. Chen Chong stopped.
The two men sat down opposite each other.
"Come on, try it, I think it's the best dish in our shop." As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of jade brocade for Xu Lan, which was stuffed with glutinous rice in the lotus root, and the lotus root burned like white jade.
Xu Lan tasted a slice, and the taste was okay.
"I think your ink studio and this restaurant have too simple names, but you can actually choose a better name."
"What's the name?"
"Mozhai, take a name that cultural people like, it's too distinctive. What has to do with the middle lift, it has something to do with the test luck, and it's best to have allusions. I'm not good at this kind of chewing words. ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched another piece of chicken with sauce.
"Actually, the furnishings of your store are quite good, and the shopkeeper is also experienced, but I suddenly thought of an idea and thought I could try it."
"Oh?" Chen Chong listened with interest.
"You can bundle the fastest items in your store. Paper and ink matching, paper and ink pen matching, the price of supporting buying is slightly lower than that of single buying, and it is sold at a set price. This customer may only need paper, but ink will be used anyway, and he will most likely buy this set, which will drive the sales of other products. It is also easy for you to enter when you buy, and the packaging can also be done in advance. ”
"Bundles?" Chen Chong thinks this is a new word.
Xu Lan nodded.
Xu Lan looked at a large bowl as if there was everything in it, and the colors were also very rich.
"This is a stew, which came from the north, and it is a variety of dishes that are stewed together. Some out-of-town traders liked this dish very much. Chen Chong looked at Xu Lan as if he was a little interested, so he explained.
Xu Lan looked at this stew, which looked a bit like a hot pot, but the hot pot was eaten while cooking, and the stewed dishes were all cooked.
The two chatted while eating, had lunch, removed the dishes, and served tea again.
"How? Tastes okay, right? ”
"Well, it's okay." Xu Lan replied.
"And what do you suggest?" Chen Chong looked at her eagerly.
"Nope." Xu Landao. Chen Chong's children really think so highly of her.
Chen Chong was a little surprised to hear such a crisp answer.
"I'm not very familiar with the restaurant industry, the service and dishes are okay, you don't take the boutique route, such a price and service are also okay." Xu Landao.
"Then why has the business of our restaurant not been very good, if it weren't for my father's name, there would be a few tables of business at night, otherwise I am afraid it would be closed." Chen Chongdao.
"Maybe there are more restaurants like yours in the county, and the competition is fierce." Xu Landao.
Chen Chong nodded, there are indeed a lot.
"Maybe you can first find out the number of restaurants in the entire county and do a survey. If not, you can change the direction of management, the tree will die, and the person will live, do you say yes? Xu Lan said.
Chen Chong's eyes lit up when he heard her words.
stood up and stretched out his arms to hug her and said, "Brother Xu, you are really a talent!" ”
Chen Chong thought of his mother's surprised eyes after hearing his suggestion, and he couldn't stop being proud.
Xu Lan was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't do anything, and I earned a lunch!" And I'm just making suggestions, it's none of my business whether it works out or not. He said with a look on his face.
Chen Chong knew that Xu Lan was joking. Waving his hand, he said, "Let me tell you, after my mother listens to my proposal, she will definitely be impressed with me!" Xu Song, it's really my luck to have made you a friend! ”
Xu Lan is also very happy, helping friends and making friends happySometimes she will be happier than her friends.
"Chen Chong, I think you have changed a lot from when I first met you last year and now."
"yes, I think I've become handsome, too." Chen Chong said shamelessly.
Xu Lan rolled her eyes.
"I think you've grown up a lot, ideologically."
"Of course, I'm both inside and out."
"yes, I didn't know you were going to tell a bad joke, and it's so funny."
"What's a bad joke?"
。。。。。。
"Seriously, do you have any plans other than wanting to take care of these two shops?" Xu Landao.
"It's good to be able to manage these two, how dare you have any plans now." Chen Chong felt that Xu Lan's tone was a little big.
"Well, Brother Chen, I'll tell you the truth, I have something I want to do, but I don't have enough ability to do it now." Xu Landao.
"Oh? What is it? Chen Chong felt that Xu Lan often had amazing words.
"I want to make a fan and make it into a piece of handicraft, imagine a woman with a beautiful fan holding a beautiful fan to enjoy the lotus by the lake, isn't it wonderful?" Xu Lan meditated.
Chen Chong couldn't understand it yet, but thought of his beautiful mother holding a fan.
"But the conditions are not yet available, wait for two years, and find someone to cooperate if you have the opportunity." Xu Lan sighed deliberately.
Chen Chong looked at Xu Lan with some regret, but he didn't think much about it.
The two teenagers chatted for a while in the private room.
made an appointment to arrive at the house tomorrow, so Xu Lan took the paper and ink she brought to Senior Brother Bingde by the way and left.
Chen Chong also hurried home to ask her mother for advice.
Don't talk about the rest.
Xu Lan went back to the shop directly, put down the paper and ink and asked Master Cheng, Shunzi can come back.
Master Cheng said that he had come back and gone out, and said that he would come back at dinner.
Xu Lan waited for him while doing things in the office area.
At dinnertime, Xu Lan asked Zhao Guan to go home in advance, and explained that she was going to go out with Mama Zhao early, let him go out with them in a car, and she would have dinner in the shop.
After dinner, when she arrived at the office area, Xu Lan asked Shunzi if she had seen Feng enter the house.
