Since the matter of Tong Chuxue and Luo Hui'an was clarified, Xu Jinniang looked at Luo Hui'an more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Mother, are you preparing too many dishes?" Tong Chuxue looked at a large table full of dishes and asked, so many of them couldn't finish eating at all.

"You girl, where are you too much, how hard it is to study in Hui'an." Xu Jinniang said unhappily.

"It's okay, I'll eat more." Luo Hui'an smiled and relieved Xu Jinniang.

"Eh, don't be polite to your aunt, eat more." Xu Jinniang greeted warmly.

Tong Chuxue looked at the two harmonious scenes in front of her, and suddenly remembered a sentence she had heard before, a son-in-law and half a son, but she didn't expect it to be true.

The lobby of the restaurant is lively, and the small table in the backyard is also full of warmth.

Xu Jinniang asked when Tong Chuxue would go back to Qingshan Village, and the Ganoderma lucidum and rice at home were entrusted to Luo Changhua to take care of, which was really embarrassing.

Tong Chuxue also felt that she had spent too much energy in the restaurant during this time, and it was really necessary to go back, and now Cui Laosi's restaurant had to hand over more than half of the profits to Tong Chuxue, which means that even if she doesn't do anything now, she can have a good income every month.

In addition, the restaurant is currently thriving with the braised vegetable business, everything is good, and she is indeed not busy.

After a few discussions, they set the time for going back three days later, and then the Luo family and Tong Chuxue and them would go back to Qingshan Village together.

It's just that before they could put away their things, Tiangong cut off their way back.

It began to rain in Guyu County, and the pouring rain did not stop for two days, and the impact of the paved stone roads in the county was not great, but the road back to Qingshan Village was already muddy and could not be walked at all.

Wang Guang told Tong Chuxue that the carriage had the possibility of overturning on such a road, which was extremely dangerous, and he could only wait for the rain to stop.

Xu Jinniang and the others had to temporarily dispel the idea of returning to the village.

It is precisely because of the heavy rain that the number of customers in the restaurant has decreased a lot, and few people are willing to brave such a heavy rain to come out to eat, and the business has been greatly affected.

Tong Chuxue was not worried about this, because she introduced a business method that she had seen in textbooks - takeaway.

Xiao Er of Fuyuan Restaurant walks around the densely populated neighborhood with a gong every day, and if anyone wants to buy groceries at home, they can place an order directly, and Xiao Er is responsible for sending it over. For this reason, Tong Chuxue specially bought a batch of food boxes and contributed the family's carriage.

The restaurant's fresh approach was quickly recognized by customers, and although the daily sales were still not as high as on a sunny day, they still maintained about 50% of the previous revenue.

As for the other restaurants, there are not a few customers for a while.

Tong Chuxue thought that this rain was just a summer rainstorm and would soon pass.

However, after three days, the rain was still not light, although it was much weaker than at the beginning, but the road was soaked by rain for a long time, and it was still impossible to drive.

What's even worse is that Tong Chuxue and the others can't go back, and the fresh pigs and vegetables in the village can't be delivered, and the restaurant's reserves are almost insufficient.

The cook worriedly found Tong Chuxue to explain the matter, Tong Chuxue thought about it a little and decided to buy vegetables and pork directly from the vicinity of the county seat.

However, because of the heavy rain, the price of vegetables and meat in the surrounding area has risen all the way, and it is already two percent more expensive than before.

However, during the special period, the price increase is understandable, Tong Chuxue understands that it is not easy for everyone, there is no counteroffer, and the settlement is settled according to the quotation.

There are more and more orders for the delivery project of Fuyuan Restaurant, and some people have become accustomed to the feeling that they can be delivered to their door for a little money.

Tong Chuxue felt that this was a good opportunity, so she specially assigned a few juniors to be responsible for this matter.

But now the cost of buying vegetables every day is getting higher and higher, before it was 20%, and now it has reached 50%, and the price of the whole pig has soared to 10 taels of silver.

You must know that on weekdays, a pig is about four or five taels of silver, but at this time, the selling price is as high as ten taels, which is how to accept it.

Most of the business of selling pigs in the county is in the hands of one person, and the pork of other small traders was sold to other restaurants some time ago, and now only that person still has pigs in the whole Guyu County.

He can say that the price increase is unscrupulous, not to mention that he also knows that the braised vegetables in Fuyuan Restaurant sell very well, and the price is not low, so when Tong Chuxue came to talk about the price, he didn't let a penny.

Tong Chuxue was helpless to be angry, but she knew better that now is the early stage of cultivating a new market, and it is very important to let customers get used to this method.

Even if it's expensive, buy it.

For the sake of the price of vegetables, Tong Chuxue was in a hurry every day during this time, and almost never ate at home, Xu Jinniang was worried.

But she knew that she couldn't shake her daughter's decision at all, so she simply called Luo Hui'an.

Yes, when Tong Chuxue came back from buying vegetables this time, she saw Luo Hui'an again at her dinner table.

"Hey, isn't my aunt here?" Tong Chu Snow Trail.

"I miss my aunt's craftsmanship, so I came over, and my mother also said that I should come over more and care more, the business of the restaurant is not very good during this time." Luo returned to Andao.

Tong Chuxue understands that everyone sees the big reduction in the number of customers in the restaurant, but with takeaway, in fact, the daily business is not bad, in short, it is more than enough.

Luo Hui'an helped Tong Chuxue put the meal in front of her, "But I heard that the restaurant's takeaway business has been doing well recently." ”

Tong Chuxue raised her eyes with questions in her eyes.

"Mr. Fu said." Luo Hui'an explained.

It's Fu Runian again, why does this guy care so much about eating, Tong Chuxue is helpless.

"Everything else is fine, but the price of pork is too high." Tong Chuxue didn't think much about it in the face of Luo Hui'an, and naturally said the predicament.

"High?"

"Well, ten taels of silver a head."

"Ten taels!" Xu Jinniang couldn't hold back at first, Xu Jinniang knew the price of pigs best, and when she heard Tong Chuxue's words, she gasped, "Isn't this just robbing!" ”

Tong Chuxue pulled two mouthfuls of rice, "There's no way, now the pigs in the village can't be transported in, so it's the only way." ”

Luo Hui'an pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Chu Xue, have you ever thought that maybe we can learn from the previous practice." ”

"Before?" Tong Chuxue was slightly puzzled for a moment, and soon became clear, "You mean to build roads?" ”

"Yes, it is good for everyone to build a road from Qingshan Village to the county seat directly, but this matter is a lot of investment, and it needs to be discussed with Uncle Lizheng." Luo returned to Andao.

"It's going to cost a lot of money to build roads, right?" Xu Jinniang suddenly remembered that when they built the road before, their family took out a lot of silver, and if they built such a long road this time, they didn't know how much they would have to invest.

"Yes." Tong Chuxue agreed, "If there is a good road from Qingshan Village to the county seat, then it will be very convenient to transport vegetables and meat in the future." ”

"The restaurant will be further expanded in the later stage, and the demand will only increase, not decrease, and this road will not be built in vain." Luo returned to Andao.
