The matter at home was settled, and after Lin Xi had breakfast, he took the newly made rouge and red pepper to the county department store.

She didn't go early, and it was nearly noon when she arrived in the county.

The department store is really open, Lin Xi went in to take a look, Xu Wu was behind the counter to settle accounts, and Xu Qi had just finished entertaining guests.

"The owner!"

When the brothers saw Lin Xi, they hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Xi motioned for them to continue and move their things by themselves. After a while, Xu Wu ran out and helped move together.

Lin Xi went to the backyard first to tally the goods, and instructed Xu Wu to put some of them on the cabinet outside, and it didn't look empty.

Rouge was only put on the shelves, and many repeat customers who passed by came in to buy it.

After Lin Xi entertained this group, he had time to sit down and rest.

"Boss, what is this? Looks like a dish. Xu Qi pointed to the red pepper that had just been put on and asked suspiciously.

There were also guests who were curious, but none of them bought it, which made Xu Qi very puzzled.

Xu Wu answered Xu Qi's doubts: "Oops! How is this, this is a dish, but it can't be eaten! ”

Xu Wu hurriedly came out from behind the counter and said, "Owner, I've seen this thing before, someone almost died after eating it, can't you sell it?" ”

Xu Qi was startled when he heard this.

Lin Xi smiled. She remembered that although the spicy hot pot ingredient was quite popular in the county, few people knew that its important ingredient was the red pepper.

She said: "This can be eaten, it's called red pepper." The hot pot ingredients in our store, especially the spicy ones, are made with it. You've seen it before, but I've seen the chili peppers that I've mashed. ”

Xu Wu and Xu Qi looked at the hot pot area in surprise.

Lin Xi said: "Let's try to see if I can sell it today, if I can't sell it, I'll talk about it later." ”

Lin Xi said this, and the brothers had to say yes.

Later, when a customer came in, they tried to recommend the customer to buy it. Some customers recognize red peppers, but they don't want to buy them because some people have eaten them badly. But some people heard that the hot pot ingredients were made from it, so they bought a small half catty.

Lin Xi will say at this time: "This red pepper is dried or not, it is very spicy, and the big guy can use it to cook vegetables or pickle vegetables." No matter what, put as much spicy as you can, don't put a lot at once, otherwise you won't be able to eat it. ”

Her reminder was originally well-intentioned, but the guests listened to it but were even more cautious and did not dare to buy it.

In the past few days, the department store has only sold a dozen catties of scattered goods, except for red peppers, other things are sold normally.

There will also be customers who come to the department store again and say that they will have abdominal pain after eating, and they really can't eat red peppers. Fortunately, it didn't blame the department store as much as it used to be on the Keyun Tower.

The five Xu brothers were a little anxious, and persuaded Lin Xi not to sell it.

Lin Xi didn't take it.

In addition, Zhang Ze talked to the village chief and his wife after returning that day, and he didn't know how to talk about it, and finally the village chief and Aunt Zhang agreed to let Zhang Ze follow Lin Xixue to do business, and specially sent Zhang Ze in person.

"Lin Xi, my brother will ask you. He learns from you, he is your apprentice, a great kindness! If he is disobedient and does something that is not good for you, you just beat and scold, and we will never say anything! The village chief and Aunt Zhang said sincerely.

Lin Xi was embarrassed.

She's not one to be a random critic of her fellows, so she doesn't have to be open-minded.

In short, in the end, Zhang was working in a department store, and Lin Xi asked him to follow Xu Wu first.

Xu Wu had never brought an apprentice, so he couldn't do it in a panic: "The owner, the small one can't do it!" The little ones haven't learned it thoroughly, where did they come from? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you! ”

Lin Xi said: "How you are during this time, I see it in my eyes." You just have to teach with confidence, and how much Zhang Ze can learn depends on himself. ”

looked at Zhang Ze again: "Start with the basics to learn business, you Xu Fifth Brother solicits guests and sells things, that's a must, most of the guests who have dealt with him have an impression of him and remember him." So you have to study seriously and be polite to you Fifth Brother Xu. ”

"Okay! Sister Lin, no, the owner, don't worry! ”

Zhang Ze is clever, sometimes his mouth is sweet, he narrowed the distance with Xu Wu in a few words, and spent a lot of money to buy Xue Ji's dim sum to honor Xu Wu and the two brothers, so that the two of them felt good about him at first sight, and there was a lot of affection between words.

Lin Xi saw that they got along well, so he didn't care anymore.

As for how they really get along in the future, it depends on Zhang Ze herself, she secretly pays attention to it, and pulls it in big things.

In this way, Lin Xi was very satisfied. If Zhang Zezhen can learn to be half independent, she will not be short of manpower when she opens a branch next year.

Lin Xi did not forget to tell Zhang Ze to continue to study and write.

What she didn't expect was that Zhang Ze, this kid, was really a good person.

Determined to make some achievements, he followed Xu Wu and Xu Qi behind him during the day, rushing to do everything, and he was really not afraid of being tired at night, insisting on reading, although he read some books about the way of businessmen. In addition, he also offered to teach the five brothers to read and write.

At this time, it is really not easy to read and write.

Because of this, the five Xu brothers became closer to Zhang, and they all cared about his young age and didn't let him do it, and they also taught him to distinguish all kinds of guests, how to deal with them and so on.

A few more days passed, approaching the end of the month.

Lin Xi looked at the account book and found that the sales of red peppers had not been good.

Because of the return of spring in late spring, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and fewer people come to buy hot pot.

Lin Xi pondered about the semi-finished dishes and initially came up with a plan.

Unexpectedly, before she could implement it, something happened first - Wang Yaozu came to the department store.

Since going to Fulai Building a year ago, Lin Xi has never seen Wang Yaozu again. At this time, she had just sent off a guest, and suddenly saw Wang Yaozu come in, and thought she had seen it wrong.

Wang Yaozu was not uncomfortable, looked at Lin Xi familiarly, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Oh, now it's time for me to call you Shopkeeper Lin. ”

The five brothers Xu saw that Wang Yaozu was dressed extraordinarily and was busy serving tea and snacks, but Zhang Ze stopped them and asked them not to be eager. Zhang Ze heard about the Fang family from his father, and later knew that Fulailou copied the hot pot of Keyunlou, so how could Wang Yaozu and Lin Xi be considered right.

Xu Wu and Xu Qi quickly thought of this layer, and they all held back.

In the end, Lin Xi walked over, asked Wang Yaozu to sit down as usual, and said: "Wang is a busy person, and if you want to come, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, so let's talk about it." ”

"Miss Lin is as direct as ever." Wang Yaozu sat with his sleeves folded and a fake smile on his face, "I'll get straight to the point." I heard that the department store sells red peppers, so I came to visit Miss Lin and bought some red peppers by the way. ”
