In a blink of an eye, the weather was cold, and a few days after the Double Ninth Festival, Wang Xiaofu and Lamei came to Song's house together, and they had important matters to discuss with Song Haonian and his wife.

But it is said that after Lamei married Wang Xiaofu, Wang Xiaofu first did the business of walking around the village and alleys, Lamei took care of the housework at home, went to the tofu shop to help, and earned some pocket money for the family.

Lily has three kinds of vegetable fields, tofu shops, and vermicelli shops, and after marrying a girl, he slowly saves money, pays off the money borrowed by Liufu to repair the house, and saves some of his own money.

Lamei only knew that it was not easy to be a family, and she usually only felt that she was capable and did not lack money to spend, but when she arrived at this point, she felt that she was short of money everywhere, so she racked her brains to make a business that could make a living.

Wang Xiaofu also has his plans: "Usually I sell odd goods, so I think about saving money to open a grocery store in the county in the future." ”

Lamei's eyes were still on the town, and when she heard her husband say that it was in the city, she was shocked: "Your heart is so high!"

Wang Xiaofu said: "The town is so big, there is enough collection, I can't sell the goods even if I open a grocery store, and if I want to open a shop, it is naturally good in the city." ”

Lamei has been to the county twice, and she also thinks that the city is good: the bluestone road is clean, it is convenient to buy things, and there are many new things. What's more important is that there are a lot of people, and when Lamei was in the town, she found that when the weather was good and there were many pedestrians passing by, their business in the store would be exceptionally better.

The little couple put it together, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became, so they came to Song Haonian to ask for an idea: "Brother Da Nian, we want to go to the county town to open a grocery store." ”

Song Haonian didn't expect Wang Xiaofu to have such a thought, and after thinking about it, he said: "The county must be better than the town, but you want to open a grocery store?" In fact, Wang Xiaofu is not too sure about opening a grocery store in the county. He buys goods from various grocery stores and sells them in the village, knowing that there are many grocery stores and people buy cheap goods, and he has no channels to buy goods for a while, and he still buys goods from those shops to sell, and he can't compete with others in terms of price

Shop.

Those shops are willing to take care of him for a point or two now, and if they are competitors, it would be strange if they didn't bite him to death.

He actually wants to try his luck, if he is lucky, if he gets a foothold in the city, he is unlucky, and then he will go back to the town.

Hearing that his plan was very risky, Lily hesitated and said slowly: "Why don't you open a restaurant?"

The cost of opening a restaurant is completely different from opening a grocery store, and it will cost several times more, Wang Xiaofu said in shock: "Sister-in-law, don't be joking, we can't afford to open a hotel." ”

However, Lamei thought that the hotel was better than the grocery store, as long as it was opened, it would make money no matter what, and tried her best to pry Wang Xiaofu: "I think the hotel is very good, it's a big deal to borrow some capital." ”

Lily rubbed her temples and smiled bitterly: "Don't listen to the wind and rain, I'll just say this casually, how much does it cost to open a restaurant, where is the store good, how much rent a year, what dishes are popular, where is the chef invited, and how to make accounts, which of us knows?"

Lamei said: "One end is a grocery store, even if it doesn't make a lot of money, but the other end of the loss is a restaurant, if you lose it, you will lose a lot, and you can make a lot of money, which do you think is better?"

In the end, they are all young people, and when you think about it, they are all quite excited about the hotel. A few people slowly discussed the charter, Wang Xiaofu first went to the county to inquire which place had more people and which place had a façade to rent, and it happened that Qingsong was familiar in the county and could help him.

Lamei packed up a few gifts and went to worship the eldest lady and the chef she invited when she went out to drink, she can cook a few home-cooked dishes, all of which are very fine, but it is not enough to sell them to make money.

Originally, she thought that Lily was the best candidate, but Lily couldn't leave the town, and secondly, it was extremely hard to be a chef, and she was usually a man, and she couldn't keep up with her physical strength, and she wasn't willing to suffer that hardship.

Wang Xiaofu and Lamei's plan is to open a husband-and-wife shop first, make some side dishes, Lamei is the chef, Wang Xiaofu takes care of other things, and the helpers just hire one or two, first set up the shelves, and then slowly expand them. Regarding opening a restaurant, Lily also has some ideas: "The cost and craftsmanship can't be compared with those big stores, so pay attention to freshness." First of all, the ingredients should be fresh, the bad ones can't be used at all, and then the methods should be fresh, you say that our sweet potatoes and corn are how many people there are in the county

The people in the town like to eat, and the people in the county like it too. ”

The sweet potato fries in their store, the most bought are not the people passing by the city, just pack them well and make them famous, but they are worried that no one will buy them?

Lamei was worried about other things: "We have inquired, those restaurants have a fixed source of food, we are outsiders, but we are afraid that we will not be able to get a suitable source of food, and it will be very troublesome." ”

She has an idea, but she doesn't know if it can be done: "Sister, if you give me food, I will go to the eldest brother and ask him for meat, and I will give you dividends, do you think it?"

If it is not difficult to provide vegetables and meat, the problem is that Qingliu Town is too far away from the county seat, "Have you ever thought about it, how can you send meat and vegetables over such a long road? What should you do if the weather is bad, the wind and rain are strong? The sun is strong, and the meat and vegetables will rot after a while, so what should you do?"

The two sisters can think of these problems, and Song Dagui can also think of them, and said to Lamei: "If you send it so far, the pork will be bad when it's hot." ”

Lamei was so worried: "Where can I find someone who is reliable and willing to provide meat?"

Song Dagui said with a smile: "It's also simple, you are laymen who don't know, we all have some connections with each other in the industry, and I will talk to those people in the county when I go back, take care of you." ”

They all have guilds for butchers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and so on, which are not visible on weekdays, and can help whenever there is something.

Lamei was overjoyed: "Brother Gui is our nobleman!"

"You're welcome?"

The meat thing is done, but the way to get the rest of the food is not easy to handle. Sweet potatoes and corn can also be produced from lilies, and if you need a large amount, you can buy them from Liufu Zhuangzi, so that fresh vegetables and vegetables can not be put more than meat, which is really sad.

It is also time to meet nobles, Wang Xiaofu can't find a way everywhere, so he has to ask his fellow villagers for help. Qingsong and a few of them are familiar with the county, Wang Xiaofu went in and out a few times, and happened to meet Chen Bin.

Chen Bin is very leisurely now, it is not enough to have a beautiful concubine like Xue Niang, and he has accepted a famous little singer in the county, and he is free every day.

Shopkeeper Liu also said to him: "You can really enjoy Qingfu." ”

Chen Bin said: "This errand looks relaxed, all the heads are watching, one is unhappy and may not know which day will lose his head, while the good head is still there, I have to enjoy it." ”

On this day, he saw Qingsong talking to a young man, he had a good memory, remembering that this was also his uncle's life-saving benefactor, and Song Haonian was a brother-in-law, when they got married, he also asked Qingsong to give gifts, including a few ** good osmanthus oil.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?" this person saw that everyone was a brother, and the idlers couldn't refuse him.

Wang Xiaofu is a measured person, although he was asked, he did not hit the snake with the stick to cling to Chen Bin. After a few words of gossip with Chen Bin, he only said that he wanted to come to the city to do some small business in the future, and if he was free today, he would take the opportunity to come and see Qingsong.

He didn't tell the truth, but Chen Bin wanted to ask the reason, and the people under his command were sent out for only an hour, bringing back the news that Wang Xiaofu looked around the shop and met with the vegetable farmers, so he knew what Wang Xiaofu was going to do. At the end of the day, Chen Bin contacted the vegetable farmer to introduce him to Wang Xiaofu, and inquired about a few good stores to tell him. People are doing such a big business, and they are so enthusiastic, they don't look down on people at all, Wang Xiaofu is very moved, and he doesn't regard himself as Uncle Wang's life-saving benefactor, but thinks Chen Bin is one

Benefactor.

There, Lily and Lamei discussed business matters, and Lily said: "According to me, in terms of delicacy and luxury, we are definitely not as good as those famous big shops, so we have to talk about freshness and cheapness." ”

"You can make some small stir-fry in the store, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, the important thing is to get a big pot and a big stove, make a big pot of rice every day, a big pot of vegetables, meat and vegetarian dishes, rice with dishes, a few vegetarian dishes for a few dollars, plus a few meat dishes for a few dollars, and you can also send food to your door by choice. ”

Lily was talking about the fast food box lunch that she used to use near school in her previous life.

In fact, most of the restaurants are still open to the rich in recent years, but no matter what the place is, there are always more people than rich people. When Wang Xiaofu and Lamei first arrived in the city, the rich people looked down on their shops, and they couldn't compete with those old qualified shops.

Most people save a few months to have enough money to eat in a big restaurant, but they can afford to spend three or five to ten dollars to eat a hot, meat and vegetable meal. Lily remembered that the fast-food restaurants near the school in her previous life were mainly faced with students and migrant workers, so she came up with an idea with Lamei: "Get a cart, but there are fresh dishes, just go to the gate of the county school to sell them, and then there is where to build roads and post houses, and whoever has a lot of bookstores can go there."

”

Lamei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I was worried that the business in the store would not be good, but according to what you said, even if there is no storefront, it will be made." ”

"The store still has to be there, clean it up, and make people look at it with confidence. Even if you hire men, you have to keep them clean, and there should be no black mud between your fingernails. Lily taught Lamei what she could afford.

Lamei nodded and said: "It's strange that you forced Wenwa's father and mother to wash their hands eight times a day, and you still use such expensive fragrant pancreas!"

In the end, she was brought out by Baiyi's hand, and her style of acting was like Lily, and she said with a smile: "Sister, you taught me to settle accounts, and gave me ideas and recipes, if I didn't have you, I wouldn't be able to open this store." I'll give you an annual dividend!"

Baiyi was stunned, and Lamei hurriedly said: "Don't push it out! You look at me, if I don't know how to repay you at all, my heart is not steady." ”

Lily nodded helplessly: "You don't have to give me the dividends for the first two years, do you think it's okay to invest in the store to increase the capital?" Lamei nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, in two or three years, we will make some appearances!"
