V1.Chapter 177

Zhou Cheng's happy New Year gift kept the whole family in a good mood until the next day.

Li Fengmei wanted to buy a TV, and Xia Xiaolan agreed. Anyway, there are big clothes that are not easy to wash. It's not far to get them to grandma's house for washing.

Liu Fen got up early in the morning.

She is going to the county No. 1 middle school to hold a parents' meeting for Xia Xiaolan. I didn't say how good clothes to wear. I found a clean cotton padded jacket and her hair was neatly combed. Xia Xiaolan asked her to put some snow cream on her face. She didn't forget clam oil and gloves.

"Mom, you seem a little white?"

Liu Fen couldn't see the change, and Li Fengmei came to identify it carefully.

"It's much whiter than in summer."

In fact, it is not necessarily how many color numbers the skin is really white. Liu Fen's skin problem is not only black, but also yellow gas with insufficient blood gas. I've eaten well in recent months, and I'm less worried. I'm looking forward to life day by day. My blood gas deficit is slowly raised back. My yellow color is lighter. Although my skin is still not white, my complexion looks very good.

Even skin color, white is not so important.

You can see meat and oil every day. Rice noodles, meat and eggs are all nutritious and balanced. You have to drink two bowls of noodle soup with sweet potato porridge and pickled vegetables all day. You can only see the diet of dry rice during busy farming. Liu Fen not only removes the yellow gas from her face, but also gets even skin color on her face, and even her hair is becoming shiny.

She is less than 40 years old and began to grow white hair at Xia's house.

Now, with sufficient nutrition, white hair not only does not become more, but also has a decreasing trend.

Xia Xiaolan looked at her mother and was so happy, "when you go back to Shangdu, I'll cook you a bowl of black sesame paste every day."

Liu Fen was a little nervous. She seemed to confirm that she was dressed properly and didn't look shabby, so she was ready to go out. Xia Xiaolan asked her with a smile, "really don't have to go with you? I hear students can go too. "

"No, no, you can read for half a day at home... I can do it alone."

Liu Fen hasn't held the parents' meeting, but she is also a person who has done the oil residue business. Just like when selling oil residue, he listens to what the school teacher says, okay?

"Then we'll pack up our things at home, meet you in Anqing county at noon, and take the shuttle bus to Shangdu in the afternoon. Do you know Aunt Huang? Her shop is at the gate of No. 1 middle school. If there is something wrong, you can ask Aunt Huang for help. We all have rice in Aunt Huang's shop at noon. "

Xia Xiaolan's detailed instructions made Li Fengmei laugh:

"Who the hell is mom? You're treating your mother like a child! "

……

It was only after eight o'clock when Liu Fen walked to the gate of No. 1 middle school in the county.

Zhang Ji's snack and Huang Sao's snack have already started business. Who doesn't want to rest for the new year, but as long as the store is rent, closing the door for one day will waste one day's rent. Regardless of how many people eat on the fourth day of the first month, there will always be business when opening the door. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat.

Originally, only Zhang Ji's family operated exclusively in this street. Now, there are more Huang Sao's fast food to grab business. Anyone who takes an extra day off is watching his competitors make money. Zhang Cui refused to agree and sister-in-law Huang didn't want to. Yesterday, senior three students returned to school. Both of them opened their doors yesterday.

In fact, there is really business. The first month has just begun. People in the city also have to visit relatives. People want to have a rest during the new year. They can go out and have breakfast in the morning, and then go to relatives' homes. Three people in a family have enough to eat and drink, and the top is 2 yuan.

If there are many children at home, it must cost more money.

Huang Sao's fast food doesn't fix those fancy snacks in the morning. She sells noodles. Huang Sao's old craft simmers bone soup all night without much seasoning. A little scallion and a little salt are particularly fragrant. Or don't want to eat noodles in soup. Mrs. Huang also has covered noodles. There are many kinds of toppings. Guests can taste one at a time and eat it in different patterns many times.

People's freshness of various "cover pouring" of sister-in-law Huang's fast food has not passed. At first, there were few people, but finally opened the situation. Up to now, it can share equally with Zhang Ji's business. Sister-in-law Huang's fast food has developed too fast!

This rapid development makes Xia Ziyu frown.

But although she has many ideas, she doesn't have much practical experience in doing business. For the moment, she can't think of any good way to hold down Mrs. Huang's fast food business. Also change to cover rice? It's not difficult to water the rice. You can pour the dishes on rice or noodles, but Zhang Ji has been open for three years. Since setting up a stall, he has trained many old diners in Anqing county.

Stop Zhang Cui's original specialty snacks and change them to cover and water rice, which will lose the existing old customers.

no way.

You can only add the option of covering and watering rice in the existing categories.

Xia Ziyu told Zhang Cui the suggestion, but Zhang Cui hesitated: "there's nothing to fry, just fry it by the way, that is, there are a lot of food samples to buy every day. If there are few people to order and water the rice, the food will be left..."

Xia Ziyu choked. Isn't it? Sister Huang's fast food focuses on one thing. There are a variety of rice covered with rice, and there are a lot of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes to prepare. In sister Huang's store, guests can eat all the dishes that can be bought in the market in winter. Some vegetables are not easy to buy in Anqing county. It is said that sister Huang's family rode to the Shangdu farmers' market in the middle of the night to buy... Just for some side dishes, Does Zhang Ji want to do the same?

A snack bar requires five people to manage it.

Xia Dajun is only responsible for purchasing. Her Uncle Zhang Manfu kneads noodles, and her mother Zhang Cui is responsible for seasoning. She changes hands with Zhang Manfu to fry mutton stewed noodles. Aunt Jiang Lianxiang is asking the guests to charge more money, while Xia Hongxia is doing chores, cleaning the table and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

It seems that everyone has work to do. When he is busy, his hands are full of things. When he is not in business, the store can be idle all at once!

Take her father for example. If he can take the job of kneading noodles, the store doesn't need to ask her Uncle Zhang Manfu to work at all. Even the work done by lianjiang Lianxiang and Xia Hongxia overlap. If he is quick, he can take it alone. When there were no stores at that time, the snack stalls were held by Zhang cuicao inside and outside. From stalls to stores, the business scale expanded and the demand for manpower increased - but five people were hired to work at once. Is there too many manpower?

Xia Ziyu noticed that there were only three people in sister-in-law Huang. Sister-in-law Huang was in charge of the spoon. Her mother-in-law picked vegetables, washed dishes and did chores. Sometimes it was her men and sometimes her children who took the money for the dishes.

Zhang Ji has more appearance than others. It's clear that her parents can hold down the stall. Her mother has to get her brother and daughter-in-law, and her father is unwilling to get her niece. These three people have to give money!

Xia Hongxia doesn't say it first. She can buy some clothes and give some pocket money.

Zhang Manfu and Jiang Lianxiang earn a total of 100 yuan a month. No wonder Xia Ziyu thinks so much. His aunt Jiang Lianxiang does a good job, including food, accommodation and wages. Is it worth 50 yuan a month? The monthly salary of some urban workers in Anqing county is only more than 30 yuan. If you recruit people in the countryside, Jiang Lianxiang's post will be paid 20 yuan each. Some people rush to come.

Zhang Manfu's hard work of kneading noodles?

It's not dirty and tired to burn a boiler. It costs 36 yuan a month to burn a boiler.

Xia Ziyu was very distressed when she calculated the accounts in her heart. She asked her uncle and aunt to come to the store to help. It cost more than 50 yuan a month and 600 yuan a year than others. Xia Ziyu didn't think it was much, but the money would rather help her uncle than ask her if she had enough money at school. Xia Ziyu was not very comfortable.

Zhang Cui doesn't know Xia Ziyu's mind at all. Looking at Liu Fen walking past the store, Zhang Cui gently spit on the ground.

Xia Ziyu warned her mother. Don't be too obvious. Wang Jianhua is still there.

Zhang Cui turned her head and smiled:

"Jianhua, would you like noodles or steamed stuffed buns?"

"Aunt, I can do anything. You're too polite."

Wang Jianhua actually wants to leave early. He thinks about his parents in Beidi farm. What does it mean to stay here in Anqing. In the countryside, there are no entertainment activities. The Xia family speaks with a strong accent. Xia Hongxia always comes to him and hides in the house. Old lady Xia knocks at the door again later, either sending cakes or poached eggs.

In the county town, he and Xia Ziyu can only live in the room behind the store. It's very noisy during the day. He wants to help work. Everyone opposes it, but he doesn't work. He can't hold hands when others work, can he? Knowing that Xia Xiaolan is studying in No. 1 Middle School of the county, Wang Jianhua is particularly afraid of bumping into Xia Xiaolan. The picture of Xia Xiaolan standing up at the gate of Baixi Temple asking him for money is a nightmare!
