Chapter 248: Research Machines to Solve Puzzles
Ji Sanniang shook her handkerchief, "Okay, then you can write the list first when you go back, and I'll wait at home." ”
Master Xu had to let Fu Xiaojiu and them all get into the carriage, Fu Xiaojiu knew that Master Xu was a warm-hearted person, so he didn't refuse his kindness, and the whole family got into his carriage.
Sitting in the soft and warm carriage, Mrs. Wan enjoyed it very much, and said expectantly: "It would be good if our family could have a carriage when we can." ”
Master Xu said with a smile: "Actually, the carriage is not expensive, it is the money to hire a coachman and buy a horse." But if your family doesn't go out often, it doesn't cost much to hire a coachman when you go out. ”
Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously, "How much does a carriage cost?" ”
Master Xu replied: "An ordinary carriage is about seventy or eighty pieces of silver, and the horse is a little more expensive, and you have to serve the horse and buy forage for the horse, which is a big expense. Even an ordinary horse will have to pay a hundred taels of silver, and all things together will cost two hundred taels of silver. ”
After listening to Master Xu's offer, Mrs. Wan immediately dispelled the idea of buying a carriage.
"Two hundred pieces of silver? That's not a decimal number! Forget it, our family doesn't go out much, and we can still hire an ox cart when we go out. ”
Fu Xiaojiu also felt that now was not a good time to buy a carriage, and there were places to use money everywhere at the moment, if he came up with two hundred taels of silver, he was afraid that the capital would not be able to turn over.
Fu Xiaojiu comforted Wan Pozi: "Mother, our family will definitely have a carriage in the future." ”
Wan Pozi nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just talking." Our house is full of silver now, but this is not the time for us to enjoy it. ”
At this time, Master Xu asked, "If you really want to buy a carriage, I can help you inquire about second-hand carriages." A second-hand carriage can usually be bought for forty or fifty pieces of silver, and if a horse is concerned, I also have acquaintances in the horse dealership, and it is estimated that it can buy an ordinary horse for less than one hundred taels. Why don't I inquire about it for you first? ”
Wan Pozi hurriedly said, "Don't bother." We're not people who have to ask for carriages. ”
Fu Xiaojiu suddenly had hope, "I think your price is okay." More than 100 taels of silver and more than 200 pieces of silver are quite different. Mother, it's freezing now, so let's buy a carriage. If we want to go anywhere, it's more convenient. ”
Wan Pozi still disagreed, "No, no, no, it's going to be the end of the year soon, and there are more places to use silver at the end of the year, so we can't spend money indiscriminately." As soon as I said, don't forget to go in your heart. ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't talk about the carriage to Mrs. Wan for the time being, but when he was hungry when he was separated from Master Xu, Fu Xiaojiu still secretly asked him to help inquire about the carriage.
Fu Xiaojiu returned to the medical hall, first made a list of things to be used in the hot pot shop, and then asked Xue Chengwen to run an errand and send it to Ji Sanniang.
Ji Sanniang went to buy some items according to the things on the list and sent them to the roast duck restaurant.
Ji Sanniang also went to find butchers and vegetable vendors, and in less than a day, Ji Sanniang did a lot of things.
The notice for recruiting kitchen staff was also posted, and Ji Sanniang knew that Fu Xiaojiu was much busier than her, so she directly asked the applicant to come to her store.
Because Ji Sanniang came forward to do these things, people were still thinking that Ji Sanniang was going to change careers, and Ji Sanniang didn't bother to explain to them, anyway, when the hot pot shop opened, people would naturally know that this was a store run by Fu Xiaojiu and her.
The selection of the guys in the store was decided without much effort.
Now the only thing that is true is the master of cutting mutton rolls, this is the most test of knife skills and the most technical work, there is no serious hot pot shop in the county, it is not easy to find such a person.
Ji Sanniang was a little worried, if she couldn't find the most important person in three days, what kind of hot pot shop would she open!
finally arrived at the time when the hospital was closed, and Ji Sanniang hurriedly went to discuss with Fu Xiaojiu.
"The county seat is so big, it's hard to find a master who cuts mutton rolls, if you can't find it, don't open our hot pot."
Ji Sanniang said with a sad face, she was about to lose confidence.
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but laugh when he learned the reason why Ji Sanniang was worried, "Hehe, it turns out that you are worried about this matter." What's so hard about this. Just leave it to me! ”
Ji Sanniang looked at Fu Xiaojiu questioningly, "What do you mean by this?" Do you know how to cut lamb rolls? ”
Fu Xiaojiu helplessly supported his forehead, "What do you want?" Where do I have this skill? ”
Ji Sanniang rolled her eyes, "Then what can you do?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu also rolled his eyes at her, "I don't have this skill, but I have other methods!" Isn't it just cutting lamb? Do you have to have someone do this? ”
Ji Sanniang pouted, "Don't let people do this, it's so difficult to let the dog do it?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu was laughed angrily at Ji Sanniang, "Is your brain in water?" Is it an ornament that you look so good? I mean, I can work on a machine that specializes in cutting lamb rolls, and anyone can operate it. ”
"What? And a machine that specializes in cutting lamb rolls? Ji Sanniang was a little unconvinced.
Fu Xiaojiu said calmly: "Then what do you not believe." I'll draw a diagram and let the blacksmith build it according to it, and you'll know how good it works. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said just do it, and drew a sketch of the slicer with a pen and paper.
"That's it?"
To be honest, Ji Sanniang still can't understand this thing.
Wan Lin looked at the slicer painted by Fu Xiaojiu, and said with interest: "Lady, how did you know about this kind of thing?" If this thing you drew is used to cut lamb rolls, it will definitely work well! ”
Fu Xiaojiu's Wan Lin smiled appreciatively, "I know you can understand that there is still a difference between people's IQs." ”
Ji Sanniang glared, "Fu Xiaojiu, what do you mean by this?" What is IQ? Didn't I hear you say a good thing? ”
Fu Xiaojiu hooked the corners of his mouth and said provocatively: "The level of IQ means that real people are not smart, I was just saying that you are not as smart as me." ”
"You ......" Ji Sanniang has never been scolded like this, but she was scolded by Fu Xiaojiu like this, and she didn't know what to go back for a while.
Ji Sanniang's annoyed appearance made Fu Xiaojiu feel quite funny.
"Okay, okay, no kidding you. I'm going to go to the blacksmith tomorrow to build the slicer, which I think he'll have to do in a day. By the way, I asked someone to find a coppersmith today to make twelve copper pots first, and it will take about five days to make them. We'll take over the store in three days, and even though it's not open, we have to get everything ready before we can open. ”
Ji Sanniang was taken aback, "You really made twelve copper pots?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu said as a matter of course: "Of course, you have to use a copper pot to eat a warm pot!" ”
Ji Sanniang said helplessly: "Okay, you have the final say, come if you think it's good." But the copper pot is easy to say, but what if the slicer blacksmith you drew can't make it? Or can he do it but can't do it? What should you do then? ”
Fu Xiaojiu swore and said: "As long as he can make the slicer, I guarantee that the slicer will work well!" ”
Ji Sanniang still looked disbelieving, "I'll continue to find the master who cuts the mutton rolls." ”
Ji Sanniang is leaving.
"We eat roast duck at night, so you can eat it with us." Fu Xiaojiu sincerely stayed with Ji Sanniang to eat.
"It's not like I can't eat, why do I always have to eat at your house?"
Although Ji Sanniang said this, her body did not move.
"Because we're partners, huh? I still have some to discuss with you, so let's talk while we eat. ”
At the dinner table, Fu Xiaojiu and Ji Sanniang carefully chatted about the planning of the hot pot restaurant, and Ji Sanniang was not polite, and the publisher's own opinion was full of oil.
Fu Xiaojiu said that being a hot pot restaurant not only has delicious dishes, but also fragrant pot bottoms, and the service is also in place.
All the guys have to train for a few days before they can get on the job, and their hot pot restaurant must be the best restaurant in the county.
Ji Sanniang was a little anxious, she said that everyone's guys are not all the same, as long as you greet everyone with a smile and don't be snobbish and annoying.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't fight her, but just put forward his own views one by one, and gradually persuaded Ji Sanniang.
After listening to Fu Xiaojiu's business philosophy, Ji Sanniang hugged her shoulders, wrinkled her brows, stared at Fu Xiaojiu and asked, "I said, why are you so crazy in your head?" Are you really from the country? ”
Fu Xiaojiu really wants to say that I am not from the countryside.
"Of course I'm from the country. But I'm usually a person who loves to ponder, and I have a lot of things in my head, so I have a lot of ideas! ”
Fu Xiaojiu said, and blinked at Ji Sanniang with a smile.
Ji Sanniang drank the fragrant duck soup, "Okay, since you have all thought of the idea, I won't say anything more." All I have to do is take the money quietly and wait quietly to get it back. ”
Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly said: "The few ideas you said are not bad." In the future, the people who go to your store to buy rouge gouache will be cheaper for them when they come to our pot shop to eat and pay the bill, with the receipts for buying things in your store. When customers who come to eat at our hot pot shop go to your store to buy things with their bills, you also give them cheaper. ”
Ji Sanniang asked, "What about your medical hall?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu shook his head, "To be honest, I don't want too many patients, and I don't want to make the hospital like a market." However, Cinnamon Mask and Slimming Tea can be the same as your idea. ”
Ji Sanniang wiped her mouth and said, "Then let's talk about how much salary is appropriate for Aunt Wan." ”
"Mother, how much money do you think is appropriate for you?" Fu Xiaojiu first consulted Wan Pozi's opinion.
Wan Pozi said with some embarrassment: "I don't have any opinions, I listen to you." ”
"Mother, I estimate that you will have to worry about a lot of things after the hot pot shop opens, do you think this will be done? We will give you a silver tael a month first, and if the profit of the pot shop is good, we will give you the price. ”
Wan Pozi couldn't believe her ears, "What? Give me a tael of silver a month's money? Did I hear me right? ”
Fu Xiaojiu repeated again: "You heard it right, you are worth the price!" ”
Ji Sanniang followed closely and said: "Yes, yes, I agree with Xiao Jiu's meaning, you are worth these two silver words!" ”
Wan Pozi immediately made up her mind and said: "Then I will make a statement, if the net profit of this hot pot shop does not reach ten taels of silver every month, I will take the initiative to halve my monthly income!" ”
