Chapter 0114 Boss Lu, do you want chili peppers?
The boiling big carp that Lao Lu ate completely broke his cognition.
You must know that during the Spring Festival, Lu Changhua gave him two bags of carp.
At that time, he felt that the carp was very fresh and tender, and he felt that his craftsmanship was still good.
Now I know that my craft is a joke!
This time, I really fulfilled my cravings.
He didn't even have time to drink, and he didn't stop.
"Old Lu, your craftsmanship is amazing!"
Lao Lu was full of food and drink, so he rushed back, and said that he had the opportunity to come again.
Old Lu smiled and said welcome.
Looking at the rubber-tyred car that had gone away, both of them smiled.
Old Lou is now very satisfied.
This restaurant has a signature menu, and he is very satisfied with the business.
Materials are also secured.
Not only is the main ingredient big carp homemade, but now the pepper is also grown by itself, so the future is not bright!
"We have to have many kinds of chili peppers next year, which is not enough."
"Dad, it's no problem to grow chili peppers, but you also have to ask for chili peppers outside."
"Why? If you can grow it yourself, do you want to buy someone else's? ”
"Dad, after all, the number of chili peppers we grow ourselves is limited, and we have to rely on outside to buy them."
"Besides, the peppers grown in the Northeast must be different from those in Hunan in terms of taste. If consumers recognize it, it's fine, but if they don't, it's a big trouble for us. ”
"We not only want, but also order more, so that suppliers can purchase more, just in case."
"If we don't order it now, people won't collect it in the future, and once this road is broken, it will be difficult to renew."
“……”
Lao Lu knew that what his son said was right, but he still couldn't turn around in his heart.
The cost of planting your own is lower, that is, planting a variety of less.
Why bother looking for the near and the far?!
"Dad, we're opening a restaurant, not a pepper planting base. If you do everything yourself, how big will the stall have to be? ”
"Two days ago, Director Han also said that he was looking for someone to grow chili peppers and let me buy them."
"Later, when the account was settled, it was not cost-effective, so I didn't mention it."
"Now we are planting with fodder, more or less no one cares, if you plant peppers in a large area, but where there is a natural and man-made disaster, we all rely on our own planting, not only to plant peppers to lose money, but also implicate the fish village, indirectly affect the reservoir."
"If it is supplied by someone else, although the price is high, even if there is a natural disaster in planting peppers, he can change places and collect them again, and it will not affect our business."
"Hmmm......"
Lao Lu felt that his son was thoughtful.
"Okay, I see."
Just when the two of them were standing on the side of the street chatting, Wu Qiang, who was far away in Harbin City, couldn't sit still.
The boiling fish farm in Bac Ninh is doing a brisk business, and he heard about it in Harbin City.
He has always been concerned about himself as a customer.
Last winter, he sent a few truckloads of chili peppers to Lao Lu and made a lot of money.
He knew that Lao Lu was a fish village and needed chili peppers all year round.
He wondered in his heart if he could make a reservation with Hunan in advance and let them have a variety of points.
As soon as spring began, he went to Hunan to order chili peppers from the farmers.
Originally, these chili peppers were planted in front of the house and behind the house to eat by themselves, and when Wu Qiang came to collect them, he also sold some pocket money.
Now this old customer from the Northeast still has to make a reservation, and they are not stupid, they know that the chili pepper is worth the money.
Wu Qiang wanted to collect five cents again, so he wouldn't do it.
It's easy to say that it's eight cents a pound.
He ordered 100 households of chili peppers in Hunan, 100 catties per family.
That's 10,000 catties.
It's already October, and the farmers have harvested the chili peppers and dried them, waiting for him to harvest them.
But Boss Lu hasn't come to him yet.
Can he not be in a hurry?
He dug out the phone number that Lao Lu had left him and made a call.
It's still a department store phone.
The other party asked him to leave the phone number and asked Lao Lu to go back.
He called his number and waited here.
Lao Lu and his son were talking about chili peppers, and Director Huang came out of the backyard and waved to the two of them.
"Old Lu, someone is looking for you, from Hashi, this is the number."
Director Huang now has a good relationship with the Lu family, and he often brings guests here to eat.
"Yo, thank you, Director."
"Hey, thank you, your own people."
"Director Huang, take one of the big carp you just sent today?"
"Forget it today, my daughter-in-law is not at home, and no one will do it."
"I was able to eat at the store that night!"
"Another day, I'll have to greet the kids."
Director Huang hurriedly left.
Lao Lu came to the reception desk, picked up the phone and dialed it.
The bell rang for a while, and it was connected.
"Hey, who's looking for me?"
"Hey, hey, is it Boss Lu?"
"I'm Lu Zaigao."
"Boss Lu, I'm Wu Qiang, selling chili peppers."
"Oh, I know, Wu Qiang, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, Boss Lu, I want to ask, do we still want chili peppers?"
Wu Qiang's voice was much quieter, he was too afraid that Lao Lu would answer.
Then you will be considered bankrupt.
"Yes! Can your chili be delivered? ”
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Wu Qiang calmed down for a long time, and then said: "Boss Lu, I have to wait for half a month for chili peppers, I have 10,000 catties here, you see ......"
"10,000 catties, you can send them all, if you can charge more."
"Okay, okay, I'll try to collect as much as I can. The price ......"
"It's still the price of last year."
"Okay, okay."
Wu Qiang's heart was full of excitement.
Boss Lu not only asked for chili peppers, but also asked him to charge more.
Putting down the phone, he trotted home.
Since his sister Wu Yue went to work at the Golden Horn Hotel, he has earned money again, and his parents' faces have improved much.
When he got home, he shouted when he entered the door: "Mom and Dad, I want to go to Hunan to harvest chili peppers." ”
"Yo, that Boss Lu in Beining is going to have chili peppers again?"
"Well, we just talked on the phone, and he asked for all the 10,000 catties I booked, and he asked me to charge more."
"That's a good relationship, can you earn a lot this time?"
"Hey, it's okay. I haven't opened for a year, but I've been open for three years. ”
"Mom and Dad, I still have some money, so we have to borrow some."
"How much?"
"There's still a thousand left."
"So much!"
The old man and the old lady rummaged through the cabinets and found more than 300 pieces.
"That's all, you can figure out the rest."
As he was talking, the old sister Wu Yue came back.
"Old girl, why are you back?"
"Mom, I'll come back and get some clothes."
Wu Yue lives in the dormitory of the unit and goes home twice a month.
"Big brother."
"Hey, my sister is back."
"Hmm. What's the matter? ”
She was a sensitive girl, and when she saw that the atmosphere at home was a little solemn, she asked.
"Nothing, nothing."
Wu Qiang didn't want to admit it in front of his old sister.
"Your brother went to collect chili peppers, and he didn't have enough money."
"How much is missing?"
“……”
"I've saved up some wages......
"No, no."
Wu Qiang's face flushed.
The old girl has only been going to work for a few months, and she can have a few dollars.
"Your brother is short of a thousand, and we have three hundred, and we are still seven hundred."
When she heard that there were still seven hundred, Wu Yue frowned, and she was also in trouble.
In the past few months, she has saved more than 100 yuan, but she doesn't have 700.
"Brother, I have a hundred here, you can take it first."
"Forget it, I'll find another way."
"Oh."
Wu Yue knew that what the eldest brother said was relieved, who could he go to find a way? Looking for a second brother and a third brother?
Forget it, they have the eldest opinion of the eldest brother.
After they went to work, they lived in the dormitory of the unit and rarely went home, because they didn't want to see this uncompetitive big brother.
Back at the unit, Wu Yue had a sad face.
"Wu Yue, what's wrong? When I go home, I become full of worries, is there something wrong? ”
Han Ying leaned over and asked.
"It's fine."
Wu Yue didn't want her good friend to know about the troubles at home, so she pretended to be calm and said.
"No, your face is wrong. Tell me, maybe I can help? ”
"Oh, it's fine, don't ask."
"Haha, and said it's okay, there must be something, say."
"Oops~~~"
Wu Yue stretched his tone with an embarrassed expression.
"Well, then don't laugh at me."
"No, let's talk about it."
"My brother has shortcomings in business, but my money is not enough, so I ......"
"How much worse is this?"
"Six hundred."
"So much?"
"yes, that's why I'm worried."
"I've only got two hundred here." Han Ying said.
This is the salary she saved and the pocket money given by her family.
Han Ying took out the money from her personal pocket and handed it to Wu Yue.
"It's still four hundred, no, let's find a way."
Wu Yue said gratefully: "I saved my salary to pay you back." ”
"Don't talk about that yet."
Wu Yue accepted the money, the two cleaned up, and went to work together.
Today, the Golden Horn Hotel received several tables of foreign guests.
They are very satisfied with the food and service.
At the time of checkout, Wu Yue found that there was an extra green ticket in the ticket folder.
"Sir, we can't ......"
Wu Yue just refused, she suddenly thought that her eldest brother was short of capital, so she trembled and put the green ticket into her bag.
According to the regulations, tipping is not allowed.
But Wu Yue still accepted it.
Manager Zhao's office.
Han Ying knocked on the door and walked in.
"Han Ying? What's wrong? ”
"Manager, I have something."
"Hehe, come and sit, just say anything."
Manager Zhao kindly asked her to sit down.
Han Ying said: "I want to advance my salary. ”
"Salary advances? What do you want money for? ”
"There's something urgent at home."
"According to the regulations of the unit, it is not possible to advance wages."
Seeing that Han Ying was anxious, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can lend it to you personally, how much do you need?" ”
"Four, four hundred......"
Han Ying also knew that this was a lot of money, and she was embarrassed to say it herself.
"So much?"
"If it's inconvenient for the manager to ......"
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you."
Wu Qiang thought of a solution outside for several days, but he didn't solve the gap of 700 yuan.
No way, he had to go to Hunan first, and after arriving, he paid part of the money, part of the account on credit, and shipped the peppers back first.
Just as he was about to leave, his sister Wu Yue brought him money.
Looking at the stack of brand-new tickets in the old girl's hand, Wu Qiang's eyes turned red.
"Take it, it's clean money."
Wu Qiang smiled ashamedly.
"Old sister, I will definitely pay you back."
