Chapter 194: Speak Out and Make Everyone Happy
Zhou Huiniang nodded: "Okay, make a few more vegetarian dishes, um. Vinegared cabbage, fried peanuts in oil, scrambled eggs with cucumber and chili, what's going on? ”
When Xia Huai heard the chili scrambled eggs, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and seeing Zhou Huiniang looking at her curiously, Xia Huai explained seriously: "Mother, chili scrambled eggs are not a vegetarian dish, right?" These eggs are expensive, and sometimes they are even more expensive than meat! ”
Zhou Huiniang suddenly realized, couldn't help but pat her forehead, and was about to say another one, but was stopped by Xia Dashan: "Then add another scrambled egg with chili pepper, anyway, eat it at home, don't be reluctant!" ”
Zhou Huiniang gave up at this time, as if she remembered something, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"Mother, what are you laughing at? You can't steal the fun yourself, just say it and let everyone have fun! ”
Zhou Huiniang thought about it, but still said: "This is not to think that when I was in Xiushui Village before, the old people in the village took a fancy to eggs. The boy from the proprietor had a stomachache and said that it would not hurt if he boiled an egg and ate it. The little sister of the Xijia broke her head, and she jumped alive after drinking the bowl of egg tea."
"At that time, I really thought it was true, but then your brother had a bit of a cold, so I really gave him eggs, and I didn't go to get the medicine, but I didn't see him well for a few days!"
Xia Huai covered his mouth and smiled: "Mother, I didn't expect you to believe this!" ”
Zhou Huiniang glared at Xia Huai, and explained stiffly: "Who dares not to listen to what the older generation says, if you don't listen, you will wait for someone to poke your backbone when the time comes!" ”
"The main thing was that the family was not rich at that time, and they were living tightly, and it was not serious, so I tried. The most colax thing is that a day or two is not good, I thought it was too little for the children, and then a few days a day two eggs, and egg tea and boiled, your brother can be happy at the beginning, who can make eggs so much for the children in the village! ”
"As a result, after eating it for several days, your brother's face is almost egg-colored!" When Zhou Huiniang said this, she couldn't help it, and it seemed that Xia Qi's face being tossed by eggs resurfaced in front of her.
Xia Qi was also beside him, he was originally quite happy to listen to the front as a melon-eating crowd, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became, and finally he used his sleeve to cover his face and wanted to leave the place of right and wrong, but his heart was extremely entangled, and he still wanted to listen!
Xia Huai asked curiously: "Is my milk willing to give my brother so many eggs?" Didn't you say that our family was having a tight time at that time? ”
She knows that in the village, not only in ancient times, but even in the 21st century, when the high civilization and education are universal, the ideas of male superiority, patriarchy, and the preciousness of eggs still exist.
However, Xia Qi is a male baby, and he is still treated well in such an era.
Zhou Huiniang nodded fiercely: "Yes, as soon as you said that, I suddenly realized it, At that time, your grandmother really didn't say anything, there were only a few chickens at home, and you gave Xia Qi two meals a day, and your grandmother didn't say a word!" Thinking of this, Zhou Huiniang's heart suddenly felt empty and sore.
Previously, Xia Dashan said that when she saw Mrs. Feng on the street, she was also happy; When she guessed that Mrs. Feng and others might encounter accidents, she was also worried. But this kind of joy and worry is deserved, it is not very strong, but it does exist in reason.
But only now did she realize that Mrs. Feng was so good to them, and Mrs. Feng's kindness was forgotten and ignored in the past.
Seeing that everyone's faces were a little unpleasant, Xia Huai hurriedly changed the topic: "Oh, it's not early, let's hurry up and get busy, mother, you take Aunt Liu and Sister Shuyu to cook." Dad, I'll discuss with you how to decorate the store."
Xia Dashan was suddenly Q and couldn't help asking, "Do you still want to decorate?" Wouldn't it be better to buy some tables and chairs or something? "Although he has done a lot of small business, he has seen a lot. But at that time, it was in Xiushui Village and Lishui Town, and it was still not prosperous enough, although there were many people who saw it, it was still not enough to see it in the whole territory.
Most of the shops he saw would only clean the shops after buying them, buy some tables, chairs, benches and materials related to sales, and occasionally one or two would open the store and change it to look like a side, which was already a behavior.
In Xia Dashan's view, they have limited funds, so they naturally have to choose the most cost-saving way to open a store.
But obviously, Xia Huai didn't think so.
"My idea is that we can renovate the tables, chairs and benches ourselves to save space to a greater extent, that is, to take up the floor. In addition, the decoration of the store needs to be innovative and come up with something different from other stores. ”
"Otherwise, they are all selling food, so why don't people go to the store they used to go to, but come to our store to eat? Even if the food we sell in our store is really delicious, even if some people have the idea of trying it, there are still too few of them, and we have to come up with some ideas that can attract more people. ”
"So, I think we need to innovate in three ways. The first is the decoration of the store, the second is the promotion of new dishes, and the third is publicity. ”
Jia Xin's eyes lit up when he listened to it, and he couldn't help asking: "What is propaganda?" ”
Xia Huai gave Jia Xin an appreciative look: "Uncle Jia, you asked a very good question." In fact, whether a store can be popular or not, whether it can make a lot of money, the influence of publicity accounts for a large part. ”
"I ask you, if the food cooked in a restaurant is delicious and the price is acceptable, will you introduce it to your friends and relatives?"
Jia Xin nodded: "Of course it will." ”
Xia Huai asked again: "Then if your friend told you that there is a restaurant that is delicious, would you like to try it?" ”
Xia Dashan thought and said: "If it's just one person who says this, I may not necessarily go" After all, he is a countryman, and he rarely has the habit of going to restaurants to eat. It's not that I don't want to, the main one doesn't allow it in my pocket!
Xia Huai asked again: "Then what if the people around you say it's delicious?" ”
Xia Dashan said decisively: "Then I really want to try it."
Xia Huai clapped his hands: "This is propaganda!" So, let's talk about the store decoration first! ”
Jia Xin et al.: "." Emotions stir up their curiosity and then leave them dry? Dogs don't have Xia Huai dogs!
Xia Huai didn't care what others thought, she had already taken out charcoal and paper, squatted on the ground to write and draw, and kept outputting it from her mouth: "The front of the shop is two floors, one floor and three rooms, and the backyard is a main room, a stove room and a room for stacking sundries. Leaving aside the backyard for the time being, there are three rooms on this floor, and my idea is to directly open up two of them into one, and the remaining one is used as a stove room. ”
"The open room is filled with as many tables as possible, and the four corners are against the wall, so that we can make long tables for those who come to eat alone. The square and round tables placed in the middle of the hall are provided for those who come with relatives and friends."
"You can put some potted plants in the hall, just what kind of flowers and grass, if you have the conditions, you can also put some paintings, so it is more interesting to look at, and people are more willing to come to our house for dinner."
"How do you say that word, make the guests feel welcome!"
Treasures, cherish the days when I can still update, I feel like I'm going to have a change from next month, I'm too busy... I can't make any money from this, and I'm afraid that my body will collapse
