125. Long-term planning
Liu Jiaojiao's vision has never been limited to this small town, she was too young and fledgling before, and there was a shortage of manpower under her hands, so she has not expanded.
Seeing that she has accumulated a lot of business experience in the past two years, and she has some spare money in her hands, coupled with the continuous growth of the team, she finally came up with the idea of pushing out Qingxinfang.
When eating hot pot, she roughly said what she thought and asked everyone what they thought.
Liu Jun doesn't need to mention it, he won't leave Liu Jiaojiao's side anyway, he will follow his sister wherever she wants, as for the position of catching the head, how important is his sister, just change places and start over.
Several people did not rush to reply, but fell into deep thought, and after a while, Niu Haoran took the lead in asking, "Where do you want to open a store?" When to go? Is this to leave the manpower to continue the business, or to simply stop and leave it alone? β
These three questions were important, and he got straight to the point.
Liu Jiaojiao glanced at him with a little appreciation, Niu Haoran, who was already very smart, has obviously become more and more reliable after two years of baptism.
"After all, this is the place where I have worked hard for two years, of course, I have to continue to drive, to put it mildly, if we fail to expand, this is also a way back. My idea is to go to the provincial capital first, and then slowly make the store bigger, make a brand, and then open branches in various places, as for when to go, we have to think carefully, after all, we don't know much about the outside, how to go to the investigation first, and then find a suitable store, open up the local contacts, there are a lot of things to do, these are not in a hurry, wait for the plan to talk. β
After listening to Liu Jiaojiao's words, Liu Shugen was the first to ask: "Jiaojiao, what does the brand mean?" β
Liu Jiaojiao explained: "It's to make a well-known signboard, you know those famous time-honored brands, right?" When others mention restaurants, the first thing that comes to mind is our Qingxinfang. β
Liu Shugen probably understood, and he was just about to ask again, but Niu Haoran interrupted him, "Your idea is very good, but to achieve this goal, with our current ability and manpower, it is far from enough." The most critical question is the back kitchen, you have always been the chef, if you go to the provincial capital, then who will be the chef here? The reason why Qingxinfang's business is good is because our dishes are special and the taste is unique, if the branches are all over the country, you have no skills, how to ensure the taste of each one? β
While waiting for the hot pot, he already had a general understanding of Qingxinfang from Liu Sankou.
Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smile: "It's because of the lack of manpower, so I said that I should start from the provincial capital first, and I don't have to worry about opening a branch, take my time." As for the back kitchen, I will hand over this house to Erhu in charge, he has studied with me for two years, and he is basically able to become a teacher. β
Niu Haoran frowned slightly, and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable, how can you guarantee that the second tiger will not be poached by others, or set up another mountain?" β
"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, and aren't my grandfather and Sister Yuanyuan still in the town? With their help to keep an eye on, even if the second tiger really has a different heart one day, they can help solve it. β
"But if that's the case, this Qingxin Fang in the town won't be able to open without a chef."
In fact, Liu Jiaojiao deliberately looked at Niu Haoran's attitude, and now she feels very satisfied, which proves that he is really thinking about himself, so he said honestly: "So Erhu has signed a deed of sale, and the term is ten years, even if he has two hearts after ten years, I think there are people under me who can replace him." β
Niu Haoran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Dongjia, are you deliberately testing me?" β
"No, you should say it's a very simple test." Liu Jiaojiao smiled back.
"So, what are the results of the assessment?"
"I'm satisfied."
Niu Haoran sighed a little helplessly, then raised his glass and drank it all and stopped talking.
It's not that he was in a bad mood and drank alcohol after being assessed, but he felt that he still underestimated Liu Jiaojiao, obviously she had already considered all the issues that should be considered, so why did he bother to ask questions wisely?
Liu San and Liu Lotus didn't speak, quietly watching the confrontation between the two back and forth, they have been following Liu Jiaojiao for the past two years, knowing that she is actually a little strong in her bones, and the things that are generally decided will not be easily changed, and for now, she has not made any wrong decisions, so the two of them invariably chose to be silent.
Although Liu Shugen has been studying in the academy for two years, Liu Jiaojiao's purpose is only to let him learn to read and write and some basic etiquette, and he didn't expect his stupid head to become a scholar, so he heard it in a fog, but when he saw that the expressions of the two had not changed much, he knew that there was nothing wrong, so he continued to fight with the hot pot with confidence.
While eating, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Liu Jiaojiao, and said with a hint of flattery: "Jiaojiao, I heard that there are a few very famous desserts in the store, and they are sold in limited quantities every day, hehe, can I try it?" β
Although they were strictly ordered not to leave the academy without permission, other students did not have this restriction, so every time someone left the academy and came back, they would tell everyone about the new things that happened outside, including Qingxinfang.
So, even though he had never been to Qingxinfang, he knew a lot about it, including how many tables were served each day, how delicious the food was, and the desserts that he might not be able to buy even if he was willing to spend money.
Always listening to this, the gluttonous worm in his stomach has been endured for two years, and when he finally comes here today, how can he not eat it recklessly?
Niu Haoran glanced at him, extremely speechless about his foodie attributes, but in fact, he was also curious about those desserts, so he didn't say anything to stop the willow roots.
Liu Jiaojiao was happy, but she didn't expect that two years later, Liu Shugen's second goods were still so fun, and she immediately nodded happily: "Today is a reception banquet for you, how can you not prepare delicious food for you?" I'll bring out the dessert after eating the hot pot, don't worry, your share is indispensable! β
"I knew Jiaojiao was the best!" Willow Root's eyes suddenly lit up amazingly, and the whole person began to dance, and then pouted with some regret, "It's a pity that I don't deserve you, otherwise I must marry you home, so that I can eat delicious food every day!" β
"Poof...... The tea in Liu San and Liu Lotus' mouths squirted out instantly, and the two of them looked at Liu Jun cautiously.
Niu Haoran also reacted very quickly and covered Liu Shugen's mouth, looking at Liu Jun's eyes full of apologies.
Dare to say in front of Liu Jun that he wants to marry Liu Jiaojiao, isn't this equivalent to pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth? This dead child is really hanged by an old birthday star - it's a long life!
Who knew that Liu Jun didn't show any signs of anger and unhappiness at all, just glanced at a few people lightly, and then picked up a few pieces of Liu Jiaojiao's favorite beef with chopsticks and put them in her bowl, without saying a word.
In the past two years, he has begun to learn to hide his emotions, and he will not directly hang his dissatisfaction on his face as he did at the beginning, but this does not mean that he has become broad-minded, but he has written it down in his heart, and then waited for the opportunity to slowly retaliate.
Unfortunately, Liu Shugen successfully got on the small book because of his quick mouth, which also led to when he met the woman he liked in the future, Liu Jun pulled his hind legs behind his back several times without showing a trace, causing him to almost miss the good fate.
A few people haven't seen each other for two years, so naturally they have endless words, eating and drinking, and they have been tossing until the middle of the night, or Liu Jun is reluctant to stay up late with Liu Jiaojiao, so she stopped this long overtime reception.
After personally sending Liu Jiaojiao back to Lei Mansion, Liu Jun went back to his residence, and Niu Haoran and Liu Shugen followed Liu San and them back to the house where they lived.
When Lei Zhong took to He Shouwu, the house lived by Lao Li Tou, Liu Jun and Song Chunhua, although the house is not small, but if you live in it again, it will inevitably seem a little insufficient, it just so happened that when Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Yuanyuan married Jinlan, Liu Yuanyuan generously sent a house to her, and after refusing to be invalid, she simply let Liu San and Liu Lotus live in.
The two are cousins and brothers who are close in blood, just like brothers and sisters, and it is not a big deal to live together.
It was a house with two courtyards, and the two of them didn't invite anyone, so there were empty rooms, which was enough for Niu Haoran and them to live.
When she returned to her home, Liu Jun remembered that she had forgotten to tell Liu Jiaojiao that the county magistrate was about to step down and that the new county magistrate would come next month.
Lao Litou, who had been waiting for him to come back, saw his expression change slightly, and asked with a little worry: "Jun boy, what's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong? β
"Lord County Cheng informed today that he is ready to return to his hometown, and the county order to succeed him will come next month, and he asked Qingxinfang to empty the Tianzihao box at that time, and then prepare a table of wine and food to give the county lord a pick-up, I forgot to tell Jiaojiao today." Liu Jun replied with some annoyance.
Lao Li was happy, raised his hand and nodded at him, and said with a smile: "I thought something was wrong, you just tell her no tomorrow?" It's going to be next month, it's still early! β
Liu Jun thought about it, it seemed that he was indeed thinking too much, he scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, and then straightened his expression, repeated Liu Jiaojiao's words today, and then asked: "Grandpa, will you go to the provincial capital with us at that time, or will you stay in the town?" Listening to Jiaojiao's meaning, Lei Dongjia didn't plan to follow. β
Old Li was silent, and pondered for a while before he spoke: "I'll talk about it then." β
As if thinking of something unhappy, his expression became a little complicated and difficult to discern, and then he said something to Liu Jun and went back to his room to rest.
Looking at Lao Li's seemingly thoughtful look, Liu Junjian's eyebrows frowned slightly.
He believed that it was not only him, Liu Jiaojiao could also see that Lao Li Tou seemed to have something hidden in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to say it, and the two of them couldn't open their mouths to ask, so they kept pretending to be stupid, but now it seems that if the old man's heart knot is not untied, there will be problems sooner or later.
Not to mention anything else, they have been depressed for a long time and their health is not good, they all hope that the two old men can live a long life, and they don't want anything to happen to them that will damage their longevity.
It seems that I have to talk to Jiaojiao about this tomorrow, he is not good at clichΓ©s and explaining others, but my sister is smart, she must have a way.
Thunder House.
Liu Jiaojiao, who had just finished washing and was about to go to bed, suddenly sneezed, still wondering if she had a cold, and the sound of the system suddenly sounded.
γDrip ...... Host, you don't catch a cold, and a sneeze means someone misses you. γ
Where did you learn this nonsense?
[This system is just a kind reminder, don't believe in pulling down.] γ
After that, the system didn't move anymore.
Liu Jiaojiao: "......" has the ability, you don't make a noise for the rest of your life, die tsundere!
