"That's because the management is not formal, if there is a special person to manage it, the signboard of the small lotus pond will definitely get louder and louder......" Li Zeyu was full of confidence, patting his chest and assuring.

"What's getting louder and louder? Your voice isn't as loud as it used to be. ”

Boss Tang walked in with a smile, carrying two bottles of cold beer in his hand and handing them to Li Zeyu, "Here's what?" ”

"Here's it!"

Li Zeyu took a bottle, but it didn't reach the cup, and he bumped into Boss Tang and blew directly on the bottle.

"Old man, you talk to Zeyu, I'll go to the bar to get busy."

The bar can't be empty, Boss Tang came in to chat, and the proprietress had to guard it, after all, there was still cash in the bar.

"Uncle Tang, I was chatting with my aunt just now, we are all people with shares in the company, and we are shareholders of Xiaohetang Catering Management Company, we can't let my aunt be busy every day, we are not short of money."

"Those who work hard and cannot be idle."

Boss Tang waved his hand, "I don't have any entertainment with your aunt, and my son is not around, if I don't find something to do every day, I won't be able to stay at all." ”

"Then find something for yourself that is not too tiring, how about opening a chain store?"

Li Zeyu started from entering the door until he ate half a meal, which can be regarded as entering the theme.

"Opening a chain store? Hehe, you kid ......"

Boss Tang's fingertips kept shaking at Li Zeyu, "You wanted to be a chain store from the beginning, didn't you?" Because I always disagreed, I retreated to the next best thing and made a self-cooking hot pot, and now let me see that the self-cooking hot pot makes money, so I will bring it up again? ”

"Uncle Tang, there is a sentence that I think is particularly suitable for you, Jiang, it's really old and spicy, what do you think I think, how do you know everything?"

Li Zeyu smiled and patted his ass, touched the wine bottle with Boss Tang again, and both of them took a big sip, and the cool beer was just right to eliminate the spicy Sichuan hot pot.

Zeyu ...... I won't call you Manager Li, it seems too foreign, we don't need it, right? ”

"No need, no need!"

Li Zeyu just wants to get close to Boss Tang, since Yingying's brand of self-cooking hot pot was launched, the relationship between the two is indeed more solid than before.

"Zeyu, Uncle Tang, I'll tell you the truth today, I'm from Sichuan and Shu, and my son is also studying in college, I've heard about what national chain catering brands various catering groups do over the years, but we really can't do a national chain of hot pot!"

"Why? Your ancestral base tastes pure, and the hot pot is so delicious, not to mention the city, even if I am in the provincial capital, I have never eaten such a delicious Sichuan-style hot pot, Uncle Tang, is there a big smoke in your base? Otherwise, how can people panic without eating for a few days? ”

Li Zeyu does have a soft spot for the hot pot in Xiaohetang, and he has to drive back to Qingshu County from the provincial capital every week, one is to see his parents, and the other is to see the situation in the company, but for him, a foodie, the most important thing is to go to Xiaohetang to eat a spicy and tender hot pot.

"Big smoke? We don't do that kind of lack of morality, in our base recipe, all kinds of ingredients are added together and more than 60 kinds, according to a certain proportion, in order to come out of this taste, not to mention anything else, it is the fried base, but I fried it by hand, and the base material fried for more than ten hours is enough for four or five days. ”

"It's not a difficult thing, now there are machines that can replace labor, even if you have to use manual frying base, we can also hire people, three shifts, the production of base material is enough."

"It's not just the base."

Boss Tang shook his head and pointed to the ingredients on the table, "Look at these ingredients, vegetables, all of them I collected from the old farmers around the county, there are no pesticides and fertilizers, pure green food."

"If you look at the beef and mutton, they are all cattle and sheep raised in the mountains, and there are few cattle and sheep in our local area, so I go to Honglin City to buy grazing free-range livestock, and when I come back, I slaughter them in the morning and give them to customers at noon and night, even if they are the least fresh, it will only be two days at most."

"And these offal bits and pieces are also fresh, all of which add up to your fragrant hot pot, so once the ingredients are not fresh, or the livestock that is grown with vegetables and feed hormones that have been applied with pesticides and fertilizers, even if there is my hot pot base, it will not have such a pure taste as it is now."

"That sounds like the case."

Li Zeyu tasted everything from vegetables to beef and mutton, and then to tripe and duck blood, one by one, even if it was just the taste of the soup base shabu-shabu, it was fresher and better than other hot pot restaurants.

"I'm now cooperating with a few small vegetable farmers around our Qingshu County, and their ingredients are enough for my store, if there is a second one that has to add ordinary ingredients from the market, you say, can I give up our signboard and taste for the money I make in a store?"

"Speaking of which...... It doesn't seem to be able to. ”

Li Zeyu was in trouble and sighed in disappointment.

"Uncle Tang, let's be honest, our self-cooking hot pot sales have increased exponentially, and recently several catering companies and individuals have called to inquire about whether they can join or buy out the formula, and now it seems that I think too much."

"Zeyu, you don't have to worry about it, if you want to talk about it, shouldn't I be more annoyed? Isn't it a bit incompetent, even though you have a good formula but can't make money? ”

Boss Tang smiled helplessly, "I have always wanted to buy a piece of land for my son in his hometown and build a big house, so that he can marry and have children in the future. ”

"Uncle, this is not necessarily, the self-cooking hot pot income of our Xiaohetang Catering Management Company is also good, you will earn more after opening a larger market next year, and your idea can definitely be realized."

The two of them were all depressed, except for blowing wine on the bottle, they didn't have a trace of appetite in the face of the fragrant hot pot, even if Li Zeyu said comfort, Boss Tang still smiled bitterly.

"Forget it...... I have passed the age of making money, and I don't have the hard work of you young people, Zeyu, I have no objection to opening a chain store, and I even hope that the ancestral taste of our Tang family can spread to the north and south of the motherland, so ......"

Boss Tang drank half a bottle of beer in one gulp and took a sip of sour pickles, "As long as you can ensure that the ingredients are fresh, green and pollution-free, and there are no residues of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, then I will agree with you to open a chain store, how about it?" ”

"How? Not good...... Hehe! ”

Li Zeyu smiled bitterly and pointed to the ingredients on the table, "Vegetables without pesticides and fertilizers, cattle, sheep and livestock running and grazing on the mountains, and more than ten hours of hand-frying hot pot bases, where can I get these things?" ”
