Gu Nansang took a group of men to his house, but the villagers who passed by were taken aback. But looking at the two men in the lead, they were all dressed brightly and had an extraordinary temperament, and they didn't think about it at the moment, and they thought that the Gu family had rich relatives, and they were looking to take care of orphans and widows.

Gu Nansang invited the two sons of the Meng family into the house, and their entourage was arranged by Meng Kansong to wait outside the door.

Gu Nansang went to the firewood room and called Gu Dongqing, who was chopping firewood.

Gu Dongqing was also happy when he heard the Meng family's intentions, and hurriedly changed his clothes to entertain guests. Gu Nansang went into the kitchen and prepared tea.

Zhou Qingxiao saw that she was busy, and she didn't say much, helping to light the fire.

By the time Gu Nansang brought the tea, Gu Dongqing had already had a good conversation with Meng Kansong.

I have to say that some superiors have such a unique personality charm. But whenever he wants to get close to someone, there are always endless means, even if he is not familiar with this level of people, he will guide the direction of the topic, be a good listener, and make the person he talks to feel comfortable.

Meng Kansong is one of them.

Even though he seems serious, he is not ambiguous at all when it is time to put down the shelf.

Approached, listening to Gu Dongqing's voice: "...... These were all Nansang's ideas, and she made all the things, so I just helped out. ”

"......" Gu Nansang was a little speechless, this brother is good at everything, but he is a little upright. Although she came up with the idea, in this era, after all, the status of women is low, if you want to negotiate a good cooperation with the Meng family, he is still indispensable.

Gu Nansang touched her nose and made up her mind that if something asked her to come forward in the future, she would still wear men's clothes to try.

"Although Miss Gu is young, she is quite assertive, and she has many concerns, and even I am much older." Meng Kansong said, the appreciation in his eyes was not concealed at all.

He was young, and he didn't have the old-fashioned pedantic style, and when he learned that the truth was like this, instead of feeling embarrassed or looking down on Nansang, he looked up to her more and more.

Gu Nansang coughed lightly and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Meng Jingsong, who had been sitting next to him without speaking, looked at the teacup and suddenly said, "What kind of tea is this?" ”

Gu Nansang smiled slightly: "This is the tea brewed after the honeysuckle grass is dried, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying and evacuating wind and heat." The family is poor and there is no good tea to entertain, if the two do not dislike it, they can use it to quench their thirst. ”

She speaks in an orderly manner, her words and deeds are neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone is relaxed, not at all like a peasant girl, but rather generous, more appropriate than an ordinary lady.

Meng Kansong nodded secretly in his heart, he was a character.

"Miss Gu is delicate and broad-minded, and it is really admirable that she has such deep thoughts." Meng Kansong has been difficult to talk about since the success of the business, today is that he really wants to make a business with the Gu family, secondly, because Gu Nansang is really surprising, and thirdly, because the Gu family is the life-saving benefactor of the Meng family sisters, so he said happily: "Since it comes to this, why don't we talk about it in detail." ”

Gu Nansang originally planned to tell Gu Dongqing some ideas, and then he came forward, but today the Meng family came suddenly, and he was not prepared for a while, Gu Dongqing said almost everything again, and she no longer twisted.

She sat down on the seat below, smiled slightly, and asked about the scenery in Youzhou and the market for hot sauce.

As Meng Kansong said, Youzhou people love spicy food, and every family does not leave hot sauce, and because of this, every household will make it, where a large area of chili peppers is planted, the quality is very good, and the price is low. Outside inns and restaurants, there are also many chili peppers when stir-frying, and there are many spicy soups or dishes.

Meng Kansong noticed that although Gu Nansang was asking about the scenery of Youzhou, the focus was not on the hot sauce.

His heart moved, and he looked at Gu Nansang thoughtfully.

Gu Nansang didn't sell Guanzi either, smiled slightly, and said: "It's not a secret, we are preparing to rent a shop to open a store recently, and in the future, oden can evolve into another form, which can be eaten in the store or taken away." ”

Meng Kansong nodded: "This is much better than setting up a stall, and it does not conflict with the business of selling hot sauce." ”

"Why do you want to sell hot sauce?" Gu Nansang smiled with crooked eyes, and looked at him with clear and clean eyes: "Isn't it good to open a store by yourself?" ”

Meng Kansong frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this little girl is young and doesn't understand the market, but she still said patiently: "There are many shops in Youzhou, and the main spicy flavor can't be ......."

"I mean, using secret hot sauce to create new recipes and methods, in a chain way, all over the country."

This crisp and bright voice, even a little childish, was so defenseless that it hit a certain string in Meng Kansong's heart.

"You ......" He widened his eyes slightly, and with his cleverness, he naturally understood her intentions at once, marveling at her that she was so ambitious at a young age, and at the same time feeling unfamiliar with the words she said.

Gu Nansang was not surprised by his reaction, smiled slightly, and said, "If we want to use our individual ability to open a store all over the country, it will naturally be even more difficult. But what if we let everyone who wants to open a store join the ranks? ”

"For example, I opened a store, and the business is very prosperous, and Meng Gongzi, you see it, think it is feasible, and you want to open a store, I can teach you." Gu Nansang casually picked up a piece of charcoal on the ground, took a piece of rough and yellowed paper, and drew it on the paper.

"In this way, you form a supply and demand relationship with me. I am the headquarters, and you are my branch. I can send someone to teach you how to open a store, you just need to pay me the tuition upfront. Later, when you go to open a store by yourself, I will provide you with secret sauces and pot bases, but I will only provide finished products, and the recipe still has to be in my hands. ”

"Taking Anping City as an example, the east and west city gates are very far apart, and some people will not go so far to eat a bite of food, and in the same way, if you and I both open stores on West Street, it will disperse the flow of customers who originally belonged to one family."

"Then you open at the east gate, I open at the west gate, we don't affect each other, and there is a certain distance, we have our own diners, and we have our own profits."

"In the same way, I have set up four branches in Anping City, and I will only set up one in smaller counties or towns. This principle can be applied in other towns and cities. At the end of the day, it's not that I'm opening a store, it's someone else who wants to make a profit, and I provide methods and signboards to expand my business in this way. In this way, I not only sold hot sauce, but also made a name for myself and had a customer base all over the city. ”

Every time Gu Nansang said a word, Meng Kansong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he said this, he didn't know Gu Dongqing, even the absent-minded Meng Jingsong opened his eyes wide, and looked at Gu Nansang in shock.

At such a young age, where did she get these amazing ideas?

Meng Kansong's hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Miss Gu, you are simply a natural businessman!" ”

"......" Gu Nansang, who felt that he had simply spread the knowledge of modern chain stores, touched his nose, and it was difficult to admit it, and he couldn't refute it.

"Uh...... These are later things. She smiled and looked calm, as if she was just saying something commonplace: "If you don't do a good job in the early stage, the impact in the future will not be great, and there will be fewer people who will naturally join." ”

Meng Kansong stood up a little excitedly, walked two steps indoors, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu, you are really good at talking, I don't know what kind of store you are going to open, so I am very excited." ”

Gu Nansang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "It's because I'm too anxious to just explain." ”

"Actually, I'm going to make a new type of dish called Wen Ding." "It's a kind of soup pot, divided into clear soup and red soup, which are light and spicy," she said. Then prepare some ingredients, all kinds of wild vegetables, green vegetables, as well as pork, beef and mutton, offal, meatballs and the like. Diners can order the dish according to their preference, then soak it in a soup pot, dip it in the ingredients and eat. ”

In layman's terms, it is hot pot.

Gu Nansang thought that he had made it clear, this was also a simple dish, and the key was in the soup base of the recipe.

But as soon as he stood up, he saw the three of them with disbelieving expressions on their faces.

...... "I said, there was such a scarcity of ingredients and recipes in ancient times?"

Meng Kansong high-fived: "I look at the name of this chain store, it's called Wen Ding Ji!" ”

“…… Good name. "You don't know the Deer Ding Ji when you look at it!

Meng Kansong hadn't been able to hold back his mood like this for many years, he only felt that this trip was too worthwhile, and he was even more glad that he was thinking that Gu Nansang was the life-saving benefactor of his sisters, so he didn't send his subordinates here, but came in person. Otherwise, you might miss out on such a brilliant idea and this amazing business opportunity.

"Then Miss Gu, if your shop is to open, leave it to me, and the Wending store is also managed by me, and you are supervising the work." Meng Kansong smiled: "As for profit, you are three and I are seven, how about it?" ”

Gu Dongqing waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "Master Meng, we understand your kindness, but we just said a few words with our mouths, and the risk is also very great." And if it is to be done, it will not be completed in a short period of time, at least two or three years, at most five or six years, if this is left to you, how can we feel at ease? ”

Gu Nansang also nodded: "Yes, Master Meng, these are long-term things, and they can't be rushed." If it's really profitable, you have seven and I have three, and I still think I have taken advantage of you. ”

Meng Kansong laughed heartily, although the two sides had only met twice, they responded to the words at first sight, and their trust in each other was there at the beginning, and now it has deepened a lot.

A few people sat down and started with the opening of the Wending store.

This matter is not in a hurry, Gu Nansang has multiple plans, Wen Dingdian wants to do it with Meng Kansong, but the oden can't be put down. The most important thing at the moment is to open the oden store, if the Wending store is successful, it is naturally good, if not, oden is her way out.

She exchanged many ideas with Meng Kansong, she is from modern times, many concepts are novel and efficient, Meng Kansong is not very old, but it can also be said that he has been in business since he was a child, specializing in it. But compared to Gu Nansang, many ideas are still being explored, but Gu Nansang has his own set of mature arguments.

Meng Kansong couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and only sighed that the trip to Anping City could not be put on the itinerary as soon as possible, and he had been delayed for a long time in vain, and he did not find such a genius.

Gu Nansang saw a little clue from his calm expression, and he was funny in his heart, but it was not easy to break it, so he just accompanied him and said some details.

It wasn't until sunset and it was getting late that the Meng brothers got up to say goodbye.

"Nansang, if you still have something to tell, you can come to Anping City to find me at any time. Mengfu is in Wutong Lane at the East City Gate, if you are inconvenient, let people spread the word, and I can come to you. ”

Before leaving, Meng Kansong's address to her had changed to calling her by name.

Gu Dongqing said with a smile, got up and sent them out of the gate with Gu Nansang.

It wasn't until Gu Nansang turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner that he felt as if something had been forgotten.

She walked from the kitchen to Gu Beihuai's room, and then to the room next to Gu Beihuai, and finally met Gu Dongqing, who came with a puzzled face.

"Nansang, what are you looking for?"

Gu Nansang frowned: "What about my cousin?" ”

When I came back in the afternoon, I didn't see him come out.
