This story features a beautiful, sweet-voiced, charming and headstrong female lead, paired with a loyal, immensely powerful military officer who dotes on his wife.
After poisoning her abusive...
"Really! I've thought about this a long time ago. Opening a store is just the first step. Next, we'll create our own brand and promote Qi's Braised Meat, so that everyone will think of our Qi's Braised Meat when they talk about braised meat. We'll also open branches, move out of the town, out of the city, out of the province, and into the whole country." When Qi Xinlan said this, her clear and shining eyes were now full of strength and confidence.
Nowadays people have no concept of brand, but in the future, brand influence has become the factor that influences consumers' choice of products, just like Lao Gan Ma. Among hot sauces, people will subconsciously choose Lao Gan Ma. The taste is one reason, and the brand influence is the second. It has been deeply imprinted in the minds of consumers. It is the memory of most people and also their youth!
Qi Xinlan wanted to imprint Qi's braised meat in everyone's mind. Even if other brands of braised meat appeared in the future, in people's hearts, Qi's braised meat would be a memory of childhood, youth, and recollection of old age.
"Lan Zi...is this too far-fetched for you?" Qi Xinwei opened his mouth as wide as the mouth of a box and was stunned for a moment. Then he swallowed two or three times before speaking.
"That... Lan Zi, this, this..." Zhao Lan was speechless for a while. She only hated herself for not having enough education and could not describe her feelings at the moment.
"Well... your idea is good, but you should still be down-to-earth and not be too ambitious." Qi Guowei's heart was pounding when he heard his daughter's bold words. If the Qi family brand could become popular nationwide, he would wake up laughing in his dreams and his ancestors' graves would be filled with smoke. However, he still had to curb his excitement and persuaded her patiently.
"I support Lan Zi!" Li Tao did not think that Qi Xinlan was exaggerating. Instead, she supported Qi Xinlan very much!
She felt that Qi Xinlan was a very organized and ambitious person, and she also wanted to be that kind of person!
"I know it's still too far away now, we can take it slowly. Our first step now is to go to the town to register a trademark. Our shop will be called Qi's Braised Pork. We also need to find a shop with a better geographical location. Big brother, you have to work hard." Qi Xinlan said seriously.
"Lan Zi, leave this to me. I've become familiar with the town these days, and I have some brothers who can help." Qi Xinwei said, patting his chest.
"Sister-in-law, mom and dad, you guys should braise the meat at home and finish these chores." Qi Xinlan instructed again.
Now her family's marinade is already very rich, and basically no seasoning is needed. She also adds diluted spiritual spring water to the marinade, which makes the taste even better!
"But Lan Zi, who will deliver so many goods?" Li Tao was very worried. Among the family members, only Qi Xinwei was more suitable to deliver the goods, but if he wanted to find a store and register a trademark now, he would definitely not have time.
\"I have my own way of doing this." Qi Xinlan said after a moment of hesitation.
Qi Xinlan's solution was to find Xu Minghao's childhood friends and recruit them to join the gang. After interacting with them a few times, she found that they were simple-minded and had no bad intentions.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say? You want me to do some work?" Tan Qing asked in surprise.
He had heard about the Qi family selling braised meat in the town before, and it was doing well, but he thought it was only enough to enrich his own family. He didn't expect the business to be so big that they even needed to hire people to deliver the goods.
"Yes, I'll give you 30 yuan a month, what do you think?" The reason why Qi Xinlan looked for Tan Zi before was because Tan Qing's family was relatively poor and simple. He only had a sick mother who was bedridden all year round and needed medicine to support her, otherwise her condition would become more serious.
She had seen Tan Qing's mother, who had rheumatism, weak liver and kidneys and other problems. In addition, she heard that she had heavy bleeding when giving birth to Tan Qing, which led to deficiency of qi and blood. She did not receive timely treatment and conditioning at the time, which caused her health to deteriorate day by day.
In this case, acupuncture + Chinese medicine conditioning can be used, but she doesn't dare to act rashly now. After all, she has not fully mastered it. When she has learned enough, she will cure Tan Qing's mother.
"Really?" Tan Qing was a little bit incredulous. This salary was the same as that of regular workers in the town. If he was really given 30 yuan a month, he would no longer have to worry about his mother's medicine money, and he might even have some extra money to improve the family's meals.
"It's true!" Qi Xinlan nodded.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I promise you, when will I go to work?" Tan Qing was eager to try.
"Tomorrow, you will go to town with us." Qi Xinlan replied.
"Okay!" Tan Qing nodded immediately, fearing that Qi Xinlan would go back on her word.
Qi Xinlan exchanged a few pleasantries with Tan Qing, then handed the braised meat they had prepared at home to Tan Zi and said, "Take this home and eat it. Your mother needs some meat to nourish her."
She specially added a little spiritual spring water to the braised meat. Although it cannot cure diseases, it can make up for the deficiency in Tan's mother's body given her current physical condition.
Tan Qing smelled the familiar scent again, but it seemed even more fragrant, making his mouth drool wildly.
"Then I'm welcome."
Qi Xinlan spoke a few more words to Tan Qing, and seeing that it was getting late, she left first.
"Is Miss Lan gone?" asked Tan's mother.
"Let's go." Tan Qing nodded and replied.
"Oh! It's all my fault. Otherwise, you would be almost the same age as Haozi, and he would be engaged, but you still haven't found one. It's me who has implicated you." Mother Tan cried.
"Mom, don't cry. It's me who doesn't want to look for him. If I wanted to find him, he would be easily found. I'm such a handsome son of yours, are you afraid that no one will want me?" Tan Qing shook his bangs in front of his forehead, and then acted like he was the most handsome man in the world.
"Yes, my son is handsome! He deserves to be matched with a beauty like Lan Yatou." When Tan's mother saw her son's appearance, she was immediately amused.
When Tan Qing heard Qi Xinlan's name, his heart trembled, and a gloom flashed across his eyes. Then he pretended to be calm and changed the subject, "By the way, Mom, she just brought some braised meat. I'll go heat it up for you." After that, he ran away.
When Tan's mother saw Tan Qing's appearance, she knew what was going on.
Her son has always liked Qi Xinlan, but given their family situation, how could he be worthy of her? If she hadn't been a burden to the family, perhaps Tan Qing would still have had a chance, but now Qi Xinlan is engaged... Alas.
"Mom, try this braised pork. Xinlan makes it especially delicious." Suddenly, Tan Qing's voice brought Tan's mother back to her senses.
"It smells so good! I've never smelled anything so good before. Just from this smell, I know the food can't be too bad." When Tan's mother smelled the aroma of the braised meat, her saliva began to well up, and she couldn't wait to take a bite to taste it.
The meat is soft and tender, with a rich taste, moist but not greasy, so delicious! After eating it, there is an indescribable comfort, just like a person who has been carrying heavy burdens for years and suddenly unloads the burden from the body, and both body and mind are extremely comfortable!
After eating one piece, Mrs. Tan couldn't stop. She was usually very delicate when eating, but now she started to eat voraciously.
When Tan Qing saw Tan's mother like this, his eyes turned red and he secretly swore in his heart that he would make sure that Tan's mother could eat meat every day!
