Chapter 74: Self-help

After the matter with Zhao Jiabao and Chen Xiu'e was resolved, the life of the family of three was back on track.

At the end of the month, Li Xueyan checked the profitability of meat since the beginning of the month. It's something she's done every month since she started selling pork.

By making a plan based on the sales volume of meat from different recipes, you can maximize your profit and reduce the waste of materials to a certain extent.

After all, if meat can't be sold in this era, it's still easy to spoil. And their family is tired of eating meat almost every day, Li Xueyan feels that not only her and Li Xiaonuan, but even Duan Yunfei are about to gain weight. In order to prevent Duan Yunfei from getting rich before he reached middle age, Li Xueyan began to deliberately reduce the amount of meat in her daily meals.

Li Xueyan determines the amount of meat to be made in the next month from the sales volume of various meat methods each month, which greatly reduces the occurrence of waste.

But sometimes it doesn't matter if there is still too much meat to sell, Li Xueyan remembers that there are always some homeless people here from time to time, and those meat that can't be sold will have a place to go, and it won't be bad all the time.

Li Xueyan looked through the account book and sighed: "It's still the same as before, the barbecue sells the best...... It seems that barbecue is so popular no matter what time of year it is. ”

Duan Yunfei nodded, "The baked ones really taste good." "He's obviously a big fan of barbecue as well.

"Grilled meat, grilled pork belly...... All-you-can-eat barbecue! Li Xueyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and her posture changed from sitting on a chair to standing up with a bone, her face full of excitement, "I said, we can run a self-service barbecue restaurant!" ”

Duan Yunfei didn't know why, "Self-help? ”

He understands the barbecue, but what does this self-help mean? Duan Yunfei was confused.

Li Xueyan was in a good mood, and she didn't bother to explain to him, "That is to say, we prepare fresh meat and barbecue tools for them, and then each of them will contribute a certain amount of money, take the meat by themselves, roast it by themselves, and eat as much as they want." ”

Duan Yunfei thinks it's a good idea, but in this case, isn't it easy to lose money? People with a small amount of food can say that if they have a large amount of food, they can eat several times the amount of others casually.

Duan Yunfei raised this question, and Li Xueyan said: "Don't worry, this won't be so easy to lose, think about it, barbecue is a greasy thing, just eat a little, if you want to eat it all the time, few people can really stand it." ”

"So, what about the barbecue tools?"

Li Xueyan's enthusiasm was poured cold by the question suddenly raised by Duan Yunfei, yes, she patronized and went happily, and she didn't think about the problem of tools at all.

In modern times, self-service barbecues are all plugged in, how can there be such a convenient thing in this era?

You can't let everyone else cook their own meat in the kitchen, right? What's the difference between that and when they're baked and then served? Isn't that in vain?

Li Xueyan slumped back into her chair again, looking like she had been hit by life.

Duan Yunfei looked funny, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Li Xueyan said weakly: "It's all your fault, you reminded me that I don't have tools, this plan won't work." ”

Duan Yunfei really couldn't bear to look at her pitiful look, and asked, "Tell me what tools you need, and I'll find them for you." ”

Li Xueyan said in her heart, I want a generator, can you give it to me?

However, Duan Yunfei said this with kindness to help her solve the problem, and Li Xueyan would not be so ignorant to attack him. After all, they were not people of the same era, even if Li Xueyan brought it up, it would be useless, and Duan Yunfei had never seen or heard of it.

"Forget it, this thing is not something you can find if you want to."

"I can't find something I can do."

Li Xueyan laughed, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The things you need for barbecue are nothing more than fire, pots, and the like, isn't that easy to get?"

Li Xueyan slapped the table and stood up, Rao is Duan Yunfei, who was also frightened by her and hid back. "What's wrong with you? Anything else comes to mind? ”

As soon as Li Xueyan turned around and stood in front of Duan Yunfei, she bent down and reached out to grab Duan Yunfei's shoulders with both hands, "You are too powerful!" ”

Duan Yunfei was very confused, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Li Xueyan couldn't hide her excitement, "You gave me a lot of inspiration, why didn't I think of it before?" It seems that the thinking is still too narrow...... How did I not think of it? ”

Duan Yunfei was still confused, "What did I say that made you excited like this?" ”

Li Xueyan: "In this way, you can make barbecue, and you can make a lot of money again, hahahaha." ”

Duan Yunfei: "So what did I say and what inspiration did I give you?" ”

Li Xueyan: "We can make a lot of money hahaha." ”

Duan Yunfei: "...... "So what inspiration do you have, can you tell me?!" What is a person excited about there?!

At this moment, Duan Yunfei wanted to know what happened to make Li Xueyan so excited, but he knew that it was useless to ask anything now, Li Xueyan was obviously immersed in the dream of making a fortune, and no one could call her back.

All he had to do now was wait, wait for her to calm down.

Fortunately, Li Xueyan is happy and happy, not to the point where she can only dream.

Duan Yunfei's words just now really gave Li Xueyan inspiration, and she suddenly thought that barbecue meat can not only be roasted with a modern self-service barbecue machine, but also something that can only be used in modern times.

Now there is not such advanced technology, but charcoal fire, pot, there are still there, why not make a charcoal barbecue?

Li Xueyan calmed down and decided to go over and draw a design drawing first, after all, if you go directly to the market to buy the pot for charcoal barbecue, you shouldn't be able to buy it.

Duan Yunfei followed behind Li Xueyan and watched her draw with great interest.

From being full of anticipation to being expressionless, Duan Yunfei just watched Li Xueyan draw one by one and throw one at a time. It's not that she didn't think about what kind of picture she was going to draw, but that what she drew was just too ugly.

Not to mention that such a picture was taken to the blacksmith to make, it is estimated that even Li Xueyan herself can't understand what she is drawing.

A simple circle Li Xueyan doesn't draw like a circle, Duan Yunfei thought, if others make it according to this drawing, if they don't tell people about it, they probably think it's a gear.

"Why don't I paint it for you?" Duan Yunfei really couldn't stand it, if it went on like this, there would not be enough paper.

Li Xueyan was painting irritably, and when she heard Duan Yunfei say this, she squinted at him, "You still can paint?" ”

"At the very least, I'll draw a circle much more round than you."

Duan Yunfei was not wrong in saying this, after all, Li Xueyan's hand was shaking when she held the pen, and her round lines were crooked and awkward, and there was no beauty at all.

Li Xueyan admitted this sentence, but if she had to draw a round, she really wouldn't lose.

"Really?" Li Xueyan suddenly laughed, "Why don't we compare?" ”

Duan Yunfei's intuition was wrong.

But he has already seen Li Xueyan's ability to paint, and if it sounds good, it is not good, and if it is bad, it is miserable, the painting is very ugly, very ugly, too ugly......

But Li Xueyan suddenly said that she wanted to compare with him, which was very strange, could it be that she hid her strength just now? Not really.

But it's better than that, and there won't be anything to lose anyway. Duan Yunfei thought so, and was just about to agree, Li Xueyan spoke again, "The loser will cook for a month." ”

Duan Yunfei's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.

"You...... Seriously? ”

Li Xueyan nodded, of course, "Seriously." ”

Duan Yunfei was very decisive, "Then I won't compare." ”

"Scared?"

...... "He just doesn't really want to eat his own food." Since she cooked noodles for Li Xueyan last time, she didn't know if she suddenly discovered his talent for cooking or what, she always asked him to cook from time to time, and often asked her to help in the kitchen.

"Isn't it comparable?" Li Xueyan uses coquettish tactics.

“…… Compare. ”

"Okay, you wait for me first. But at this time, you can also start drawing first, I will allow you to draw a few more, and then choose the best one to compare with me. ”

Duan Yunfei was helpless, is this girl provoking him?

Although he can be sure that his painting is definitely better than Li Xueyan's, Li Xueyan's confident appearance makes him have an illusion that he must have lost.

Seeing that Li Xueyan was going out, Duan Yunfei suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "I have to watch you paint with my own eyes." ”

Li Xueyan said: "Okay, okay, no problem." ”

Duan Yunfei felt that Li Xueyan would win even stronger, but now that he had agreed, Duan Yunfei could only draw first. But it doesn't matter if it's a month's meal, Li Xueyan should help him.

Should...... Right?

Duan Yunfei drew quite seriously, and successively drew three circles on the paper, all of which were considered round. After Duan Yunfei looked satisfied, he sat in place and waited for Li Xueyan to come back.

It didn't take long for Li Xueyan to come in, holding a strange thing in her hand. It looks like one end of the brush is tied with a rope and a wooden stick, as smart as Duan Yunfei, and he immediately knows the use of this thing.

Duan Yunfei said helplessly: "You have committed a foul like this, you can't use many tools." ”

Li Xueyan was confident, "That's not to say that it can't be used!" And I'm just a rope and a stick, what kind of tool? Li Xueyan said as she operated her simple compass.

She placed the stick in the middle of the paper, fixed it with her left hand, and then pulled the rope to the farthest point of the paper with a brush dipped in ink, and made a very round circle.

"How?" Li Xueyan held up the circle she had drawn and asked Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei: "...... Very good. ”

Li Xueyan nodded, and seriously commented on the circles drawn by Duan Yunfei, "This position is not far enough, this one, the thickness is uneven, this is not bad, but it is still not as good as mine." Did you lose? ”

Duan Yunfei: "Yes. ”

"How about losing?"

Duan Yunfei: "Make a month's meal." ”

Li Xueyan: "Very good. ”

In fact, Duan Yunfei has a question that has been buried in his heart for a long time, especially at this time, whenever Li Xueyan suddenly comes up with some strange thoughts, that question is magnified many times, Duan Yunfei has to endure it so that he will not ask.

He wanted to know where Li Xueyan came up with so many different ideas, and those were all things he had never heard of, whether it was zongzi, or self-service barbecue, or the method of drawing a circle just now.

Li Xueyan can always have a variety of ways to solve some small things in life.

Duan Yunfei pretended to mention it inadvertently before, but Li Xueyan's answer was very vague every time, so he didn't ask later, if she wanted to say it when, she would naturally say it.
