In order to let people know their clothing store for the first time, Yang Xueqing also invited several lion dance teams to play lion at the door for a few days, which was very lively.

For a time, their clothing stores and clothing brands were deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people.

The boom in the business of the clothing store made Qu Guangming strengthen his determination to do business, and as soon as Li Ying was out of confinement, he immediately began to rent a store, hire employees, and start his restaurant.

On the day of the opening, Li Ying also invited Xie Xiaonian and others to the store to cheer.

"The food made by this chef is different from the one he makes at home, and you can see the level just by this shredded potato." Han Xingmei praised while eating the dishes.

"Your skills are definitely not as good as other chefs, but I don't think this chef's skills are as good as Xiao Nian." Qu Yingqiu commented.

"I also think it's not as delicious as Xiao Nian's, when I was recruiting people in the first place, I tried a lot of chefs' dishes, and I thought that since I could call it a chef, my cooking skills must be good, but I didn't expect so many people to come to the interview, and none of them could catch up with Xiao Nian, and in the end I had no choice but to pull out the general among the short men and find the current one." Li Ying said with a sigh.

"This chef's cooking skills are already okay, after all, you are selling to ordinary people, as long as it is similar to ordinary restaurants." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"What Xiao Nian said is also true, I have never seen a meal comparable to Xiao Nian's cooking skills in so many restaurants in the capital, so we can't expect too much, as long as it can make most people feel delicious, we can open the restaurant." Qu Yingqiu nodded in response.

"I see there's still a big empty space in front of your door, why isn't that place being used?" Xie Xiaonian said digressively.

"Originally, we were thinking about selling breakfast, but we were tired enough to open a restaurant, and we couldn't get up early in the morning to make breakfast, so we had to sit idle for a while, and then think about doing something after a while." Li Ying answered truthfully.

"I think you can build a shed at the door and sell some lo-mei, cold dishes and the like, anyway, Brother Guangming has to collect money at the door, so just sell there and collect money at the same time. The aroma of braised pork can waft far away, so that it can not only attract business for you, but also have some special dishes in your store. ”

Xie Xiaonian saw that the food sold in their restaurant was no different from other restaurants, and there were no particularly outstanding dishes, so he proposed it out loud.

"You have a good idea, you don't have to get up early in the morning to prepare, when preparing other things in the restaurant, you can do it all in one piece, it's simple and convenient, I'll ask Guangming later, to see if the chef he invited has a way to make lo-mei, if there is, then marinate some pig's head meat, pig's trotters, bean curd and other appetizers, it will definitely sell well." Li Ying said approvingly.

"I also have a lo-mei recipe in my hand, I'll write it to you later, you can see which recipe is better than your chef's, you can use whichever one is better." It's just that I need a lot of seasoning in my recipe, and some vegetable markets may not sell it, so you need to go to the pharmacy to buy it. Xie Xiaonian said casually.

"Really, that's great, Xiao Nian, your cooking skills are so good, Fang Zi must be better than that chef. But we can't ask for your recipe for nothing, you see how much money it costs, or you can buy shares. Li Ying said happily.

"We have such a good relationship, what kind of money do you talk about, I just see that your store has no special dishes, plus there is a vacant piece of land at the door, just say a word or two casually, if you give me money or shares, then I won't give you this recipe." Xie Xiaonian pretended to be angry and said.

"That's it, Li Ying, Xiao Nian will definitely not ask for your money, if you don't want to go, just give Xiao Nian two catties of braised pork to eat in the future." Han Xingmei said.

"That's okay, Xiao Nian, I won't be polite to you, what do you want to eat in the future, just come, as long as there is something in the store, I will never say anything." Li Ying said happily when she saw Xie Xiaonian being so righteous.

Xie Xiaonian's food is so delicious, with her recipe, their store's business will definitely surpass that of others.

The rest of the Qu family, Li Yingbiao and others also knew Xie Xiaonian's craftsmanship, so when they heard that Miss Xie was willing to give Guangming Hotel a lo-mei recipe, they were also very happy, and they all thanked Xie Xiaonian.

Qu Guangming was also very happy, and decided that he would make the lo-mei in the store by himself in the future, so that he could not only keep the recipe in his hand, but also reduce the cost and keep himself busy.

Because Qu Guangming's shop is not far from Li Yingbiao's house, and Li Yingbiao lives at home alone, lonely, no one to take care of him, and he is a little pitiful, so after Qu Guangming opened a hotel, he moved to Li's house with Li Ying.

In this way, we can take care of each other, and we don't have to waste time running at both ends of the hotel and home.

Because during the day, the children of the two were still carried by the second elder of the Qu family, so the two old men who had Sun Wanshi did not object too much to Li Ying and Qu Guangming moving to the Li family.

The only thing I'm not happy about is that Qu Yingqiu is about to move away as soon as he has a little friend.

And the neighbor Aunt Chen's fritter business is also doing well, and often takes some fritters to Xie Xiaonian's house, thanks Xie Xiaonian, saying that she earns more a month now than his son and daughter-in-law combined, and is very grateful to Xie Xiaonian for supporting her at the beginning, otherwise she might have retreated at that time.

And there are things to do, Aunt Chen is also much more energetic than before, although she is a little busy and tired, but she is still very happy to earn so much money.

When everyone was relatively smooth, Xie Xiaonian encountered difficulties.

"Haven't the products designed by our new batch of designers already on sale? I think their design is very good, why the factory's sales have not increased this month, but decreased so much, this should not be. Xie Xiaonian looked at the company's sales and said with a frown.

Although last month's sales also decreased, it was not particularly obvious, Xie Xiaonian thought that his design style had made everyone aesthetically tired, so it was like this.

But this month's sales volume has directly decreased by nearly a quarter, which makes Xie Xiaonian have to pay attention to it.

"It may be that the products they designed have only been sold for less than a month, and people are still not very receptive to the products they designed." Zhou Zhenhua continued.

"Even if people don't accept their designs, but the other styles are all designed by me, and they have been selling very well before, why has it dropped so much this month?" Xie Xiaonian asked puzzled.

Xie Xiaonian thought that with a new designer, she would be able to be more idle, but she didn't expect that after less than a month of idleness, she had a problem.

"It may be that the market is saturated, after all, we have sold a lot of flowers in the past few months, but there are so many people in the capital, and almost all of them who can afford and are willing to buy have been bought, so it is not easy to sell." Zhou Zhenhua continued.

"How many products do we make, compared with the population in the capital, it's a drop in the bucket, and many of our products are sold to the surrounding counties and cities, shouldn't be saturated so quickly, these days when you deliver goods, by the way, ask them the reason, see if you can find out the root cause." Xie Xiaonian suggested.

"Okay, don't worry about this, even if you don't say it, I'll definitely ask." Zhou Zhenhua said with a ticket.

After cooperating for so long, Xie Xiaonian was still very relieved about Zhou Zhenhua, so he waited for his news and did not mix.

It's a pity that Xie Xiaonian waited for a week, and didn't wait for Zhou Zhenhua's reply, seeing that the first flowers in the factory are selling more and more slowly, and Zhou Zhenhua doesn't come here often except to ship goods, Xie Xiaonian can't see him, so he can only investigate by himself.

It wasn't until she spent most of the day visiting the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores that sold their hair flowers that she found out what the problem was.

It turns out that it is not because their hair flowers are unpopular or the market is saturated, but that someone imitates their hair flowers.

Not only is the style the same, but even the trademarks are exactly the same, if it weren't for Xie Xiaonian's special familiarity with the trademarks in her own factory, and the pigments she personally mixed in the space, she wouldn't have found the problem.

Xie Xiaonian thought that Zhou Zhenhua only knew their trademark, and was not familiar with the materials in it, so he didn't see it, so after the inspection, Xie Xiaonian went directly to Zhou Zhenhua's house to find him.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhenhua went out and was busy and was not at home, Xie Xiaonian waited until Zhou Zhenhua came back in the evening, so that he could tell him about this matter, let him investigate and investigate, find out the people behind the scenes, and let them stop infringing on their trademark rights.

"There have been imitations of our head flowers before, I think it's not easy to ban this situation, and in addition to the head flowers, no one imitates our other jewelry, so it shouldn't have much impact." Zhou Zhenhua said with some embarrassment.

But Xie Xiaonian is not as optimistic as Zhou Zhenhua, she feels that since the head flower can be imitated, it will be a matter of time before other jewelry is imitated.

"Someone imitated our head flower before, and I know that this situation cannot be prohibited, but even our trademark is imitated, and it is imitated so similarly, this is the first one, this is infringing on our rights and interests, it is a crime, we have to check it carefully." Otherwise, the sales volume of our factory will be less and less in the future, and maybe it will go out of business one day. However, the other party dares to imitate our head flowers so blatantly, and they can also be sold to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, and sold together with our head flowers. Xie Xiaonian reminded.

"Okay, then I'll check it in the next two days to see if I can find it." Zhou Zhenhua saw Xie Xiaonian say this, so he could only nod and say.
