The business of hot pot and skewer shops is booming every day, and there are queues from the morning when they open, and the most persistent foodies are happy to wait here even if they would rather wait in line for several hours.

However, someone hired a takeaway brother to help line up with the flexible mind, and the price negotiated between the two parties was also a good deal.

Fu Xiaojiu hired two bookkeepers to take care of the accounts, otherwise none of them would be busy to calculate the accounts of the two stores every day.

In a blink of an eye, the two shops have been open for almost two months, and Fu Xiaojiu, who saw that the business was still booming, planned the future again.

Fu Xiaojiu not only wants to make the takeaway business more standardized and orderly, but also wants to chain up the hot pot shops and skewer shops across the country to make secret seasonings and pot bottoms to supply franchisees.

And since she has developed a takeaway business, she simply wants to develop the express delivery business to make it more convenient for the lives of the people.

Wan Lin saw that Fu Xiaojiu was doing such a prosperous business, in addition to admiring Fu Xiaojiu, he felt sorry for her.

Fu Xiaojiu doesn't have an idler in the family now, but it's not enough to let the rough mother-in-law do the housework every day.

Wan Lin discussed with Fu Xiaojiu to see if he could buy some maids and wives to clean up the housework and take care of their diet and daily life.

Fu Xiaojiu thinks that Wan Lin's proposal is good, and now their family should indeed have some maids and wives to take care of it.

Fu Xiaojiu discussed it with Mrs. Wan again, and Mrs. Wan also said that she is now very busy in the workshop every day, and she can only take care of Fu Xiaojiu and Shen'er when she goes home at night, and she always feels ashamed.

Fu Xiaojiu said that she didn't have to feel guilty, although she was a mother-in-law and a grandmother, no one stipulated that she had to serve the big and the young.

In order to make Mrs. Wan feel comfortable, Fu Xiaojiu deliberately took her to Yaxing to see her mother-in-law and maid.

Because they are not expensive people, they are very particular about food and clothing, so as long as there are two rough mothers-in-law and a maid who can take care of the ginseng and do some chores on weekdays.

However, Fu Xiaojiu did not forget the needs of Wan Lin and Old Man Wan, so he also proposed that he needed a scholar, so that he could help take care of the men in the family.

Besides, Shen'er is gradually getting older, and if there is a big brother like someone by his side, he will not be lonely.

After Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi made their requests, the shopkeeper found the corresponding person for them.

The two rough mothers-in-law are actually not very old, both are forty-seven or eighteen years old.

But in Dachen, they are also grandmothers, and they have been doing rough work, so they seem to be about ten years older than Wan Pozi of the same age, but they seem to be in their fifties.

One of these two mothers-in-law is called Zheng Pozi and the other is Ai Pozi, and the two of them work in the master's house during the day, and they have to go home at night, and they don't eat dinner at the master's house.

Wan Pozi and saw that although the two of them looked older, they looked quite good, not like they were scheming, so they left them to work at home for two days first.

All they have to do is help turn over the yard, water the vegetables, feed the dogs, feed the chickens, wash the clothes, and clean up the house.

These are not heavy jobs, but if you point to Wan Pozi or Fu Xiaojiu, who has time to do it, it is very tiring, let the two of them do this, not only can it be lighter, but Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi can be a lot easier.

But Fu Xiaojiu, the greenhouse where the crystal orchid was planted, did not allow them to enter, which had to be watched by the old man himself.

The crystal orchid has been expanded again, not only at home, but also in the backyard of the workshop.

This is a delicate job, and Old Man Wan is very energy-consuming just taking care of Crystal Orchid, so he can't do other work on weekdays.

Once the mother-in-law has chosen, it's time to choose the scholar.

Fu Xiaojiu wants to choose a scholar who looks more delicate, can recognize some words, and is smarter.

The shopkeeper found a few young men according to Fu Xiaojiu's requirements, ranging from thirteen or fourteen to sixteen or seventeen.

Fu Xiaojiu always felt that she couldn't bear to hire child labor, so she chose a sixteen-year-old boy.

This young man's name is Tan Su, and his family background is also acceptable, but his parents died of illness one after another, and his family has declined, and he can only come out to be a scholar's attendant for a living.

Because Tan Su's house was also repaid, he had nowhere to go, so he stayed at a relative's house for the time being.

Fu Xiaojiu saw that the child looked good and reacted quickly, and he took pity on him, so he chose him.

As soon as Tan Su heard that he was lucky enough to be Wanlin's scholar, he was simply flattered, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi three times in a row.

Scholars are easy to choose, but the matter of maids is a little difficult to do.

Fu Xiaojiu wants to find a maid who can cook, she can cook in the morning and evening, do some simple washing and cleaning work on weekdays, no one at home during the day, she rests at home, this kind of work is actually very easy, and she also cares about food and housing.

But people have to be clean and clean, and they have to be really not bad-hearted.

The shopkeeper found a few maids for them in a row, and Wan Pozi and Fu Xiaojiu were not very satisfied.

Some Wan Pozi looked unpleasant, afraid that she was a goblin who hooked up with people, and some of her felt that it was too rough and not very eye-catching.

The two chose seven or eight maids, and in the end, they all took a fancy to a little girl.

The girl is seventeen this year, her name is Zhuo Hui, and she is also a father and mother who died early, she has been working as a maid in a family since she was thirteen years old, but the male owner of the family gambled all the money in the family, and she was kicked out.

Fu Xiaojiu saw that although Zhuo Hui was not very good-looking, she looked clean and neat, and judging from a pair of slightly rough hands, she knew that she had done a lot of work in the past, and she should have suffered a lot.

Fu Xiaojiu told Zhuo Hui about her family's situation, and Zhuo Hui felt that she was dreaming when she heard it, where is this kind of work to be a maid, it is simply to enjoy happiness!

Zhuo Hui said that she didn't need much work, as long as she could be fed and clothed and not beaten her, she would be content.

When Fu Xiaojiu heard what she said, she felt even more distressed about her, telling her that she would not only be fed and clothed, but also give her a normal salary.

As for the beating, there is no such thing, so she can come to the house with confidence.

Zhuo Hui was also as flattered as Tan Su, and gratefully kowtowed to Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi three times in a row.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first brought the four of them to the house to familiarize them with the environment.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ai came every day after breakfast and worked at home until before dinner.

They cook their own meals at home at noon, and they eat whatever they eat in the kitchen.

As for Tan Su and Zhuo Hui both going to live at home, Fu Xiaojiu took him to look around the house, arranged a room for them, and took Tan Su to the Yushitai.

These adults in the Yushitai are accompanied by their own scholars, and only Wan Lin has always come and gone alone.

This time, Wan Lin also had a scholar, and he felt awkward at first, but it was indeed much more convenient to have a scholar to help him do things.

Tan Su really didn't expect that he would come directly to Yushitai to accompany Wan Lin, this kind of pride and surprise was something he could never have dreamed of, so he cherished this errand very much.

Fu Xiaojiu arranged the affairs at home properly, and the rear was stable, so she could work with more peace of mind.

She said that she would do it, and told Xu Yuanwai about her idea of making the hot pot shop and the skewer shop a chain store.

Xu Yuanwai agreed with her idea when he heard it, the only thing he was afraid that the seasoning they made would spoil if it was shipped to the franchisee and lose its original authentic taste.

Fu Xiaojiu also thought of such a problem, she needed to research a carriage similar to a refrigerated car, so that she was not afraid of things rotting during transportation.

What Fu Xiaojiu could think of for the time being was to sew a thick quilt on all sides of the carriage, then put ice cubes in it, then put the ingredients in it, and finally seal the carriage.

It's not difficult, it's just that I don't know if it's possible.

On the day Fu Xiaojiu had this idea, he found someone to transform a carriage and did an experiment.

Put a pound of fresh mutton rolls and a spice in an iron box in the car, and then let the car go to a friend who lives more than 1,000 miles away from the capital, which will take about three days.

Along with the carriage there was also a letter written by Xu Yuanwai, asking his friend to see if the contents were broken after receiving the goods.

The weather was just a little hot, and it was a good time to do experiments.

As long as this experiment is successful, Fu Xiaojiu plans to open a branch or find a franchisee near the capital now, and her business territory can gradually expand.

However, Fu Xiaojiu's beautiful vision was interrupted by someone.

All the ingredients in the skewer shop of the hot pot shop are the best suppliers selected by Fu Xiaojiu and Xu Yuanwai in the capital, and many of them are friends of Xu Yuanwai, so they are extremely relieved about their own ingredients.

Not to mention that it was for the guests, Fu Xiaojiu, Xu Yuanwai and Feng Zhongjun's family often ate in the store, from the elderly to the children, and none of them had a bad stomach because of eating something in the store.

But it's been more than two months since it opened, and on this day, someone suddenly shouted and scolded the store in front of many people queuing at the door.

"These are two black-hearted shops! Our family is so sick of their stomachs! Shopkeeper, get out of here! Hurry up and see my family! ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't come to the store that day, she was busy seeing people in the medical hall, Feng Zhongjun was also not there on business, only Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu were here.

As soon as the two of them heard this person's scolding, their faces changed, and they hurriedly came out to take a look.

Xu Yuanwai saw that the man who was scolding was a man in his thirties, wearing silk from head to toe, and at first glance he was a rich man.

But this man's speech and demeanor are too vulgar, and he does not have the etiquette and temperament of those rich and noble masters at all.

Although Xu Yuanwai muttered a little in his heart, he still walked forward politely first.

"You're the shopkeeper?"

The man asked annoyedly.

Xu Yuanwai arched his hand to him, "This is the shopkeeper below." I just heard you say that you and your family have eaten bad stomachs here, do you see that there is any misunderstanding? ”

"What a misunderstanding! You're the black-hearted shop! ”

As he spoke, the man suddenly threw a punch at Xu Yuanwai.
