Chapter 225: The Restaurant
For Matthews, it is not difficult to make a plan, and the person who can get into the University of Michigan, even if he is a sports student, will not have a low IQ, and as a resource management student, he naturally has a talent in this area. That evening, he took out a first draft that had already taken shape, and the plan listed everything from patent application to product production, to sales selection and subsequent development. Of course, the most important fund allocation management is also in it, after all, people die for money, birds die for food, if the problem of funds is not explained at the beginning, the more you go back, the more chaotic it will be.
Although the two men have a good relationship, Matthews can be said to have done just the right thing when it comes to matters of principle. He uses the method of basic salary plus commission, his minimum wage is not much, only 500 US dollars a month, but in the withdrawal of profits, it is 10% of the net profit. The advantage of this is that it can guarantee a basic income without burdening Yifan. Besides, he knows very well in his heart that this transaction is only profitable, and in the long run, this profit distribution will definitely be adjusted in the future, but so far it is almost like this.
"Tomorrow is Thursday, I think the first priority is to add an extra batch of meat slices to solve the problem of the team's poor form at the moment, to lay the foundation for Sunday's game, and if we can get a winning streak, it will be a good publicity for our team, the school, and our restaurant."
Matthews knew that if they didn't put the team's victory first, Diana would definitely not stand on their side and support them, and now the two of them, with no money, no connections and no connection with the school, if they separated from Diana and separated from the school, this project would definitely not work.
Yi Fan looked at the empty medicine box, thought for a while and said, "That's what you said, we need to hurry up and make another batch." But the problem is that now there are no raw materials. Whether it's herbs or fresh meat. And this time we are using pork, in fact, the most effective meat slice is duck meat, because there are not so many medicinal materials, I want to improve the effect from the meat quality first, and then look for the corresponding medicinal materials to further improve. ”
From a medical point of view, the increase in humidity and temperature caused by hot weather will lead to dampness and heat, which will increase the moisture in the human body, and then make yin and yang imbalanced. Although beef is easy to buy, the beef itself is cold, and the effect of the meat slices will be greatly reduced. In contrast, duck meat itself contains the effect of warming and replenishing qi, which can be said to be the first choice for treating current symptoms. It's just not easy to buy.
"If the amount is small, you can buy it in the big supermarket in the city, but you can't buy it in a large amount."
Not only fresh meat, but other accessories also need to go to the city to buy, although it takes a little time, but under the gallop of Matthews, the two of them didn't spend much effort to feel the Walmart in Detroit.
However, the situation here is not what they expected.
"No duck? Don't have the materials on the shopping list either? ”
After hearing the shopping guide's answer, Yifan looked a little incredulous, these things are easy to buy in China, not to mention supermarkets, maybe you can buy them all in any meat and vegetable market.
However, due to the difference in eating habits, Walmart did not sell the corresponding things, which gave Yifan a headache.
"If you can't help it, let's use beef."
Yi Fan walked around and found that it was not so easy to buy duck meat, but beef was more abundant and cheaper, although the effect was a little worse, but it was better than nothing.
"Why don't we go to Chinatown? Anyway, I guess only those strange medicinal materials of yours can be sold there. ”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Matthews had a flash of inspiration, and there are still a lot of Chinatowns in the United States. As a gathering place for Chinese, in addition to cooking Chinese food, it also sells all kinds of Chinese goods.
"Chinatown?"
The name of Chinatown is still very loud, and Yi Fan had heard it before coming to the United States. But since I came here, I didn't have time and I didn't have much interest, so I haven't been there.
When the two of them arrived in Chinatown, the first thing they saw was a variety of signboards with a 90s Hong Kong flavor. These dazzling neon signs, retro-inspired traditional Chinese characters, can be described as a lot of plaques, of course, the most obvious is a variety of Chinese restaurants, as well as commercial houses.
"What to do, where are we going?"
Alas, one of the difficulties in front of the two of them was not knowing where to go. Chinatown is a whole street, and there are hundreds of shops here. And I don't see a store like a market. Although there are many Chinese, they are always overseas, which makes Yifan feel a little strange while being cordial. After all, most of the time it comes out of their mouths with an English accent.
The two of them wandered around like headless flies, and at this moment, Yi Fan found a pharmacy called Bao Zhilin, which was decorated in an antique manner, and the name was Chinese herbal medicine hall as soon as it sounded. What's more, this pharmacy was once mentioned in the mouth of his brother Liu Xin.
As soon as he stepped into the store, Yi Fan smelled a familiar medicinal fragrance, which he hadn't felt for a long time since he left Liujia Village. He had always thought that the smell was very unpleasant, and he was even ridiculed by his classmates for this, and he had trouble with his family for a while, but now it smells so refreshing that people will not want to leave.
Of course, Matthews doesn't have this kind of Yaxing. He frowned, holding back the strong smell of medicine.
"Is anyone there? Doctor? ”
Yi Fan shouted a few times, and then a bad old man about sixty or seventy years old walked out of the back warehouse, although his hair was not gray, but his hairline was almost bald to the Mediterranean. The age spots on his face were very obvious, although he looked a little thin, but he was full of energy, and his two eyes stared at Yi Fan and the two of them as if they would shine.
Because Yifan used Mandarin, the other side didn't react at first, and he didn't seem to be very comfortable, and then replied lamely: "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing the old man's answer, Yi Fan hurriedly took out the list of medicinal materials listed and stepped forward to ask, the game was gradually approaching, and he didn't have so much time to waste.
"Some of these things don't have this, and it will take four or five days to transfer the goods, so you can go back first."
The old man looked indifferent, his face was full of impatience, and he obviously had little interest in this business.
"It takes so long? These aren't very rare things, can they be faster? We need it urgently. ”
Yifan really couldn't believe that such a pharmacy couldn't get these few medicinal materials, and it wasn't a long-term ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum or something, how could it take so long.
