Chapter 80: Sour Soup Fish
"Hostess, come and catch us fish." The proprietress was thinking that Lin Mo, a young man, was a knowledgeable person, so she told him carefully about the process of brewing her own bad chili peppers, but there were customers calling her outside, so she had to regretfully end her tutorial and hurriedly went to the back to greet customers.
"The road is narrow!" As soon as Lin Mo came out, he saw that Xiaoxia was covering her nose with a handkerchief, looking at the surrounding environment with disgust, and Guohua was not there, presumably she was the boss lady he called just now, and now she should be watching the fish in the back.
Seeing Lin Mo coming out of the kitchen, the corners of Xiaoxia's mouth twitched, and her disdain was very strong, but Lin Mo didn't mean to compete with her, and went straight to her room.
"Why did you go so long and come back? I'm in a hurry! Sun Jing sat on the small bench and pouted unhappily.
Now Sun Jing is becoming more and more like a child, of course, she will only be so true in front of Lin Mo and her family, as the eldest and only daughter in the family, Sun Jing is a collection of thousands of loves, but when she met Lin Mo's nemesis, she often showed some childlike appearance.
"What's the matter, it's like three autumns when you don't see each other? So how much time should we have just had? Let me think about it! Lin Mo pretended to wrench his fingers and counted the time conversion between twenty-four hours and three years.
"Lin Mo! I am hungry. Sun Jing leaned his head on Lin Mo's shoulder, stepping on the boat for an afternoon was indeed more expensive, and even Lin Mo felt that his stomach was drumming.
"It's going to be fine right away, I already saw the fish in the pot just now." Lin Mo knew that Sun Jing only wanted to eat rice now, so he didn't take out the snacks in his backpack.
"Let's let, let's go." After the hurried sound, the proprietress walked in with a charcoal stove in her hand, followed by a man holding an iron pot in both hands, which was steaming hot.
Put the charcoal stove in the hole in the middle of the table, and then put it on the iron pot rack, a small pot of rice, and some vegetables and tofu.
The proprietress put two chili water on the table and said with a smile: "You can eat as much rice as you like, if it's not enough, you can go outside and serve it yourself." She had a good impression of Lin Mo, so she even grabbed an extra handful of vegetables.
"Eat." After the others left, Lin Mo took a fish into Sun Jing's bowl, and after he quickly killed a bowl of rice, he felt that there was some bottom in his stomach.
"Listen to me, right?" Lin Mo looked at Sun Jing's sweet food, so he helped her order some vegetables and tofu.
"You guys wipe the table down a little bit, look here, look here, huh... Look at this dirty, Guohua, let's go to the Congjiang Hotel, it's just impossible to sit down here. ”
"That's what we're here, if you don't like it, go out." The proprietress was full of anger and her voice reached Lin Mo's ears, and it seemed that she had hurt her self-esteem by that Xiaoxia's words.
"Let's go, it's not uncommon for me to eat in this kind of place!"
"Hey, Xiaoxia, wait for me."
"Go, where to go, I want to leave if I order something and don't give money, no way!" The bustling voice reached the door where Lin Mo and Sun Jing were eating.
"Guohua, give her money, this kind of place will never come again in the future, it's all your fault, what place do you recommend?" The yellow Meng Tejiao flashed through the door, and later it was Guohua who caught up.
In fact, what you eat here is a farmhouse atmosphere, you have to pick and choose the master family will not want to see you, and when you come to this kind of place, you still want to ask for the service of a five-star hotel, which can only blame them for being too hypocritical.
"My family is not a greedy person, everyone shares a share of this pot of fish, and no money is charged." Saying that, the proprietress took the iron pot and distributed a few fish to each table of customers, and even Lin Mo and the others got four.
"Boss, don't pay attention to these so-called city people, all dressed up in a slick and slippery manner, with a golden appearance, and a miserable wind in their pockets, one word, pretend!"
"These two fools are cheap to us, and they are also stupid, if you don't think the table is clean, then take it out to eat!"
"People look pampered at first glance, where will they eat with the wind blowing outside!"
Listening to the discussions of the customers outside, Lin Mo and Sun Jing glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, this proprietress is too resentful, straightforward but not pedantic. Ask the other party to give money first, which is a matter of course, and then beautifully divide the fish, and immediately get the support of the majority of customers, this incident not only did not affect the reputation of the store, but also indirectly played a non-greedy advertisement, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After eating the sour soup fish, Lin Mo took out the motorcycle he had put in and left Wangjiaba with Sun Jing in the sudden sound of the engine.
Lin Mo sent Sun Jing to the door first, and watched her open the door with the key before going downstairs.
At night, Lin Mo was lying on the bed, holding a book of Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness in his hand and slowly flipping through it, and after reading it for a while, he closed the book, thinking about the direction of the expansion of the neighborhood.
Neighborhood is now recognized as the largest fast food chain in China, even if KFC enters China this year, Lin Mo will not be weak-minded, the neighborhood can provide customers with too many options, you have hamburgers, I have meat sandwich buns; You have fried chicken, I have fried tenderloin... I can compete with what you have, but you can only look at what I have, and all kinds of authentic Chinese dishes are not comparable to a few simple American meat buns. As for the service, Lin Moke, who had consumed in KFC in his previous life, was very clear, but it was mediocre, and the neighborhood was positioned to treat the customer as his neighbor, and he had always grasped the corporate culture more tightly.
Now the neighborhood in the first and second tier cities in the country is basically completed, the next step is just horizontal development, to further expand the occupation of the market, and the layout of the third and fourth tier cities from this year to speed up, Lin Mo has sent experienced staff to start investigating the local market, and when they come back to summarize, it is the beginning of a new round of expansion of the neighborhood.
"Go to the nest of capitalism!" Lin Mo thought about the last time he discussed with Li Lan the possibility of going to the neighborhood to the United States, what Li Lan said, yes, the United States is now the largest market in the world, and the consumption power is not comparable to the current domestic market.
"But I don't believe that Chinese food can't conquer those foreigners with simple taste buds!" Lin Mo has already made up his mind that if the neighborhood can really go to the United States, then the neighborhood recipes will at most make some fine-tuning, and never give up the original flavor of Chinese cuisine.
Today, the neighborhood has formed its own unique cuisine, which gathers the essence of several major cuisines in China, and then the chefs of the neighborhood headquarters continue to improve according to customer feedback, taking into account the color and flavor at the same time, but also simplifying the production process, and doing a good job in cost control.
Because he slept a little late last night, and today is Sunday, so Lin Mo will inevitably lie down on three poles in the day, and after getting up and hurriedly eating breakfast, Lin Mo fled in embarrassment in the crusade of his younger brothers and sisters, he has to go to his stronghold to clean up today, otherwise the place will not be able to live.
In fact, Lin Mo's new stronghold is not far from home, only less than three kilometers away, Lin Mo rode a small grasshopper to the small courtyard in Zhangjia Lane, stopped the car and saw that a few grasses had been drilled out of the gap in the stone slab at the door, Lin Mo shook his head and stepped forward to pull them all out, and it is estimated that rabbits can be raised at the door for another month.
Pushing open the gate, Lin Mo looked at the well-growing weeds in the yard and was a little dizzy, Nima so much? How long will I have to pull it out by myself! So he decisively went out to find foreign help.
Lin Mo set off on a grasshopper again, and his destination was the small cross on the edge of the neighborhood, which was the largest migrant labor market in Louchu District.
When you arrive at the small cross, you can see the technicians who are doing the foundation planning on the edge of the double-timber building, and the construction will begin after the $20 million from the United States arrives in March next year, and the drawings have been handed over to the Southwest Provincial Architectural Design Institute for design, and the construction unit will have to wait until next year to negotiate.
A large open space in the Little Cross is now sparsely populated with more than a dozen people standing, and if it were a weekday, there would be hundreds of laborers gathered here. From time to time, when some trucks or tractors stopped outside, the victim shouted inside: "Three hundred bags of cement, only six people." "Suddenly there will be a big battle, in order to compete for these jobs they are even divided into several small collectives, everyone has a job in order, today is you, tomorrow is us, but also harmonious.
As soon as Lin Mo entered, two people immediately surrounded him, one of whom looked at the man in his forties and asked, "Young man, what's the job?" How many people are needed? ”
Lin Mo looked at his sun-tanned face, and a puff of wine came out of his mouth, this is not his problem, most of the men who carry the work here will drink three meals a day - morning, noon and evening, it is said that because the physical labor is too tiring, so you need to use wine to relax your muscles and blood, so that your body can be excited to withstand the high-intensity labor.
Lin Mo quietly held his nose with his hand, then turned his head and said, "It's not a big job for me, it's just that someone needs to clean the house, do you have the right person?" ”
This drunken man should be the head of this group, and he will bargain for the job, and if you ask him to clean up, he will probably not be willing, so Lin Mo will ask him if he has the right person in his hands.
"Xiao Song, come here." The man turned around and shouted, and soon a woman came from the corner, looking nearly forty years old, with her hair meticulously coiled on the top of her head, and her pursed lips looked a little stubborn.
"Xiao Song, this young man needs someone to help clean up in his house, will you go?" The man seems to take care of her, and he asked her for advice in advance, if it's someone else, you won't go? That's good, he will vacate a few jobs for you next time, so that you have no income for a few days in a row, see if you are still picky!
"Thank you, Brother Ma, I'll go." The woman first sincerely thanked Brother Ma who arranged the work for her, and then asked Lin Mo how many things he needed to clean and how long it would take to finish, which was also the basis for judging how much money he could get, and this woman seemed to have spent a lot of time here.
