Chapter 21: The Way to Survive
"Stop! I admit you're right, but we have different concepts, and sometimes money can solve things, but you have to fight and kill?"
An Ling shook her head, she didn't agree with Touch'er's point of view.
"I don't think you understand. In order to become a god, in order to improve in cultivation, let alone killing, it is to slaughter this piece of the Canglan Continent, for some people, it is just a reversal of hands. ”
Touching porcelain said quietly.
"I'm not that ambitious! If you hadn't told me that, I would have thought that as long as I could protect myself and have money, I would have lived a good life. ”
An Ling paused at this point, and she stared at the porcelain.
"Are you like some people?"
Touching the porcelain's gaze did not dodge, it met An Ling's eyes and said, "I have never lost my conscience!"
"Then how did you cultivate to the point where you once were? Didn't you walk up with your bones and blood like you said?"
"Lan Anling, our divine beasts are different from you humans, the realm I have cultivated to has lasted more than 30,000 years, and it has been accumulated day after day!"
"What about you, you can be Mahayana in just hundreds of years, and even soar, there are unscrupulous means in this, there are many people who kill people and goods, and there are countless demon beasts that have died in your hands!"
"Let me ask you, do you kill? If you don't kill, why do you kill fish?"
Touching porcelain asked word by word.
An Ling was silent, what is this cultivation law above to stop caring about life?
However, I also eat fish and meat!
"It's too naked, let's not talk about it, what time is it?" An Ling said.
"Huh? ”
"It's three o'clock, that's about 9:40?"
“......”
An Ling turned around and ignored the porcelain and came to the hotel lobby, where the employees were busy preparing for the lunch rush.
"Concern about my sister, what about my second grandfather?"
"Little owner, the second old lady has been out with Master Wu for a long time. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
An Ling walked to the counter and looked at yesterday's income and expenditure, and the second grandfather recorded the income, expenditure, and general ledger into three ledgers, which were clear at a glance.
For the second grandfather, who used to be in charge of the family business, he has unique insights and experience in business operations.
An Ling knew that his ideas were just copied.
According to her previous thoughts, the delicacies she knew in her previous life could make hotels bloom everywhere in this otherworldly continent?
It's obviously unrealistic, judging from the spices bought, the food culture of this continent is not backward, but it doesn't eat what is in the water.
"Is it a young owner?"
An Ling was thinking about things when she raised her head when she heard the voice.
The man in front of him was about twenty years old, he was very tall, he was still holding a flat pole in his hand, and under the burnt straw hat, beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.
On his dark and red face, a pair of black and white eyes were looking at An Ling.
An Ling walked out of the counter and saw him holding his trouser legs barefoot, and there were two large baskets next to him, which contained fresh vegetables.
"You're delivering food, aren't you?" An Ling said.
When the man heard this, he hurriedly lowered his body, fiddled with the vegetables in the basket with his hand, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said, "Yes, these are two hundred catties." Look at the cabbage and green onions, they are all freshly picked, but they are fresh!"
An Ling nodded, there was still dew on these vegetables, and there was still soil at the roots, which was very green and fresh.
"Come with me. ”
Saying that, An Ling wanted to pick up two large baskets of vegetables with one hand and go to the back kitchen, but when she was about to hug them, she found that her arms were not long enough.
"I'm here, you don't have to touch your hands!"
Big White Fang put the flat shoulder on his right shoulder with his hands and feet, and picked up two large baskets of vegetables at the cat's waist.
An Ling smiled and led the way in front, and the two walked to the backyard.
"Let's put it here first. ”
Da Baifang looked very restrained after putting down the flat shoulder, and kept sorting out his clothes with his hands.
An Ling was afraid that if he pushed harder, he would tear open the frayed hole in the right shoulder of his clothes.
"Are all the dishes in this shop delivered by you?" An Ling asked.
He shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm from the Zhuangzi around here." ”
An Ling nodded, I'm afraid this is similar to a sales pitch.
"Then what do you think about delivering food to our store?"
"To tell you the truth, these are all grown by ourselves, and we have to pay taxes to sell them in the market, if we wait for the Wang family to collect them, we will only give two cents for this catty!"
"I just thought about coming to the big hotel to try if I could sell it to you directly. ”
An Ling thought to himself: This 10 centimeters is equal to one wen, and 100 wen is equal to one tael, which means that such a dish can only be sold for one tael of silver for 500 catties!
Those who come to the hotel to consume, which meal is not a few taels of silver?
In the past, a few dozen taels of silver in his hands were the belongings of the whole village, is this the gap between the rich and the poor in this world?
An Ling thought and sighed.
Seeing An Ling sighing, Da Baiya hurriedly said: "The Wang family has chartered the food for all the big restaurants in this town, and they will double the price for you!"
An Ling heard this and understood.
It turns out that the Wang family who delivers vegetables in this store is just a second-class seller, take cabbage as an example, one pound sent to the store is one penny and two, and he made a penny with one pound!
This is not just a double, this is a multiplication!
"Big brother, what's your surname?"
Da Baiya was a little embarrassed, he took off his straw hat, wiped the sweat on his face with his hand, and said: "My name is Liu Yusheng, my mother said that when she gave birth to me, it happened to be raining, so she was named this!"
An Ling's eyebrows and eyes were bent, and he was afraid of being rude, so he hurriedly asked.
"Brother Liu, do you have a lot of vegetables like this in your village?
"There were cabbage, green onions, ginger. ”
"Are there any coriander, turnips, or potatoes?"
Liu Yusheng was a little stunned after hearing this, "I don't have these, but I have seen different dishes in the market, and I heard them say that they are from Nanyang." ”
"Oh, so I'll go back and discuss with my family, Brother Liu tomorrow morning, you can come again. ”
An Ling led Liu Yusheng to the counter, took out a tael of silver from the cabinet, and handed it to him.
"Brother Liu, these two hundred catties of vegetables, I will settle it for you at five cents and one catty, which is one or two pieces of silver. ”
Liu Yusheng hurriedly took the silver, and he looked very happy.
"Thank you, young owner, then I'll come back tomorrow!"
After saying that, he turned around and took the flat pole and left the hotel, forgetting even the basket.
An Ling smiled, this Liu Yusheng is a little interesting, maybe nervous, a little hairy.
When customers enter the store, more and more people begin to grow.
After the second grandfather and the others came back, they didn't have time to say anything, so An Ling and Wu Qi went to the back kitchen to help.
Business at noon was particularly good, the upstairs and downstairs were full, and there were some people who came without a table, and they agreed to sit outside the door and wait.
Caring for Zhang Lei, the two welcome guests, also served tea and poured water to the people waiting at the table outside the door.
Wu Qi and An Fatzi are worthy of being immersed in cooking for many years, and this fish dish and the improved dishes under An Ling's guidance are all colorful, fragrant and flavorful after they are put on the plate.
Bianling has done more than that!
In the afternoon of this day, the customers in the store were not cleaned, and they were busy until the evening, when everyone gradually rested.
"Call it a day, let's eat!"
An Ling shouted, and after everyone happily gathered together for dinner, the workers went home one after another.
"Uncle Wu, I have something to discuss with you. ”
An Ling called Wu Qi, who was going home, and sat at a table with the second grandfather.
"Uncle Wu, do you think we can keep the kitchen busy now?"
"It's okay now, but master, if we want to open a branch according to what you said, we still have to cultivate talents!"
An Ling and the second grandfather both nodded.
"That's what I think, I'm going to start hiring now, but I have to love cooking and have a good character. An Ling said.
Wu Qi nodded, "The fish dish in our store has already been launched." In fact, it is not difficult, if there is a chef who wants to do it, you can quickly find the way out. ”
"Yes, I've thought about this before, or I'll quickly seize the opportunity and develop it as quickly as possible!" said the second grandfather.
"Food is all about good taste, which requires people to constantly explore, discover, and be original, so I think this is what needs to be done urgently. ”
"Master, you're right!"
"In this way, Second Grandfather Uncle Wu, I have a proposal to recruit only ordinary people for the time being from tomorrow, those who can't gather energy to cultivate, and those whose families are poor. ”
"Ling'er, why are you only recruiting these people?" the second grandfather asked.
"Today, a farmer sent the vegetables to the store, saying that the price of the vegetables received by the Wang family was two cents a catty, but I looked at the accounts, the average price of the vegetables was one penny and two, and there was so much difference in between!"
Wu Qi said at this time: "I know this matter, this Wang family is the mayor's in-laws, and the taxes in the town are collected by their families, and collecting vegetables is still a trivial matter. ”
"But master, you still don't care about this, there is the mayor's side!"
"Ling'er means to recruit these poor peasant families and let them have a separate way out, right?" the second grandfather asked.
An Ling nodded.
"I see, then I'll post a notice tomorrow. ”
"Okay, that's it!"
Wu Qi got up and went home first, and the second grandfather brought the account book over to read it with An Ling.
"Second grandpa, you will not care about these in the future, I will not look at it, I will have more ghost ideas, and you have to make the decision!"
An Ling said and pushed the account book to the second grandfather, and continued: "I'll start writing out Cai's tutorials tomorrow, and then you look at it and think about it, and the store will be under your control in the future!"
"Okay, then the second grandfather will continue, and he will definitely not give you this little ghost a loss!" the second grandfather said with a smile.
"She, she just has a lot of ghost ideas!Second Uncle, don't get used to her!" Qin Pei said as he removed his apron.
"Haha, my baby granddaughter is smart and has her own ideas for doing business, so I can't listen to her advice?"
An Ling ran over and took Qin Pei's hand, "Mother, look, the second grandfather said that I was smart!"
Qin Pei pretended to pinch An Ling's little nose and said, "You can't be proud!"
"Phew~ Stop!" At this time, outside the gate, Lan Yun's voice came.
"It's Daddy's back!"
An Ling said and ran out quickly.
Lan Yun and his party drove five cars and stood at the door, shouting and preparing to unload the car.
"Why did you come back so late?" Qin Pei asked Lan Yun.
"Didn't you delay?"
"No, Dad. An Ling said
Lan Yun stepped forward and rubbed An Ling's head, and said, "We found an estuary, set up a shack there, and prepared to go there to fish in the future, leaving a few people, and all arrangements have been made!"
"It's this manpower, the fishing nets are not enough, and the nets brought last night are all broken!"
When An Ling heard this, she had a new calculation in her heart.
