Chapter 581

"But when qingtingfang opens, I'm afraid it will be enough for them to drink." Molly thought that not only yupinzhai, but also other shops would have a lot of pressure.

"But I have to say that yupinzhai is very popular in the capital. The cakes made by the master in the capital are really delicious."

Xu Qing nodded: "it's the end of life."

Molly laughed. "That's right."

Xu Qing understood the meaning of Molly's words, and said: "I will not go to the capital for development in the last ten years, and I don't want to go there. Even if I want to open a branch shop, I will first consider the surrounding areas of Jizhou or the southern cities."

There is a situ family in the capital, and there are many powerful people and complicated forces. Xu Qing doesn't want to join in the fun. If she is bullied by the situ family, even if Li Changting supports her, she can't do anything about the situ family.

Even Yu Po Ming didn't dare to go to the capital to join in the fun. Although Fu Xitang had some industries in the capital, they didn't matter. These two great gods gave up on that piece of land in the capital, not to mention her small shrimps.

Forget it, the capital will not think about it.

Molly thought that it was a good thing for qingtingfang not to fight against yupinzhai.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing asked Li Zhu to prepare a carriage and planned to go out to purchase raw materials.

The list was made with Molly in the morning, because there are many kinds of pastries and many things to buy. Most of them are available in grain shops, but because some of them are not seasonal food, they may not be in stock.

When Xu Qing went to the grain shop, she saw that most of the things she wanted were not available except rice, flour and some miscellaneous grains.

What's the matter? How can it be worse than famine?

Xu Qing thought he was in the wrong place. Is Yu's shop going to close down? Why is it so empty?

Grain shop manager politely invited Xu Qing to the back living room.

"Don't worry, madam. It's just that you haven't put it out." The shopkeeper said with a warm smile, "there are so many customers in the shop these two days. The flour, beans and dried fruits in the shop are all sold short, but the owner has already given orders. No matter how much they sell, they will certainly keep the share you want."

Xu Qing: "short selling? Who buys so many beans and nuts? "

Shopkeeper: "to tell you the truth, I bought several pastry shops including yupinzhai. I have an account here, so I can see clearly how many ingredients they consume every month. Now they are hoarding a lot of goods, and almost empty my shop. I think I should guess what they are for without saying my wife."

Xu Qing laughed: "they..." What's wrong? What's this?

Shopkeeper: "I guess they want qingtingfang to open later. After all, they can empty the food in my shop. Can they empty all the food in the world? I have to import goods several times a month. Although it's not the time to collect grain, it's easy to transfer goods from other places. It's just two or three days late. "

The grain shop here is two or three days late, and it will take Xu Qing seven or eight days to produce the finished products.

The shopkeeper also said, "don't worry. Everything in the shop has been reserved for you. Zuixianlou also cooperates with qingtingfang. How can we be ungrateful to our old customers?"

Xu Qing nodded: "Yu Boming is still thoughtful. I'll go to thank him another day."

Then Xu Qing handed the purchase list to the shopkeeper and asked him to quote some quantity and price.

The more ingredients you have, the better. You can use up as much as you can. The past two years have been a good harvest year. The price of food in this year is much lower than that at that time, almost the same as that before the natural disaster.

Xu Qing has wrapped up all the ingredients that the shopkeeper has here. He can't find another way. Because he bought too much, the shopkeeper gave him a preferential price and sent someone to send the ingredients to the park of qingtingfang.

Back in the park, Xu Qing arranged what he wanted to deal with. As a result, he was faced with the problem of insufficient hands.

In addition to a few workers staying in the park, it is said that none of them will come to work.

Li Zhu said: "last month, five new pastry shops were opened in the city. All the people we invited before were dug up by the other party. When I learned that you came back a few days ago, I sent someone to ask. They said that the salary there was high, and they didn't want to come back to do it. Two of them signed a long-term contract, and their owners also helped them pay liquidated damages."

Xu Qing frowned: "even if you don't want to come, you can recruit someone else."

Li Zhu: "I've already arranged this, but I'm afraid I can't recruit people in the city. I've arranged for people to go to the countryside, pick some young and hardworking people to come back, and put them in the park to cultivate them slowly. They will come back one after another from tomorrow."

Xu Qing nodded and agreed: "well, the people trained by himself are more reliable."

At that time, when she built such a large dormitory, she wanted to cultivate a group of her own staff. At the beginning, she followed the modern thinking of recruiting workers, but it seemed that she gave these people too much freedom. She worked hard to cultivate their skills for several months and made wedding clothes for others.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing said to Li Zhu, "do you want to see if there's a manager who can teach a man, and find me a trustworthy one to come back?"

Li Zhu blinked: "I am not it?"Xu Qing glared at him: "are you busy? I can't trust you to take care of both sides' affairs, accounts and so many people. I'm afraid I'll be exhausted. Where can I find a housekeeper like you? You Take it easy. "

Li Zhu said with a smile: "don't worry, madam. In two days, there will be two younger martial brothers to help me share some affairs. The owner of the house has arranged all these things, madam. Don't worry."

When she heard that it was arranged by Li Changting, Xu Qing didn't ask any more. She knew that the intelligence department under Li Changting had suffered a lot during the natural disaster. Many people lost, and only some backbones were alive.

In the past two or three years, although a number of people have been trained, most of them are still rookies, less than they can use their hands.

Now there are many people everywhere, but few of them can be used.

Xu Qing asked sister-in-law Li to write down the ingredients she was going to prepare. She also mentioned her identity and became one of the managers of the park. She was responsible for sending, receiving and inspecting the ingredients.

There was no work in the park last month, but everyone was busy. Li Zhu has built half of the park. Now there are eight factories in the park, four of which can be used.

Li Zhu had arranged for Xu Qing's plan to grow vegetables in the park. Six mu of vegetable land was renovated on the opposite side of the factory, which was more than enough for the daily consumption of the park and the main house.

It's just that the flower bed for planting fruit trees has been built, but the seedlings of fruit trees haven't been bought back yet. It's hard for the fruit trees to survive this season. Li Zhu wants to wait for the weather to be warmer.

If you want to buy it, you'd better buy adult fruit trees, so that you can have fruit to eat the next year.
