Chapter 180 Planning

After leaving the Housing Authority, Ling Yao took Ma Meifang and her daughter to a nearby teahouse.

After entering the private room, Ling Yao asked Ma Meifang and her daughter to sit down and ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks.

When the waiter brought the tea and snacks,

Ling Yao saw that Ma Meifang and her daughter were just sitting there, looking at the snacks on the table without taking any. Ling Yao reached out and picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of snack for each of them, and put it in the bowl in front of them, "Don't just look at it, try these snacks and see how they taste."

Da Ni, Er Ni, San Ni looked at the snacks in the bowl, swallowed their saliva, and then looked at Ma Meifang with an inquiring look.

"Eat it." Ma Meifang smiled and nodded.

Da Ni, Er Ni, and San Ni immediately showed happy smiles on their faces, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Ling Yao took a sip of tea, gently put down the teacup, and looked at Ma Meifang, "Sister Meifang, do you have any special skills? Or do you like to do something?"

Ma Meifang was confused when she heard this, swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked at Ling Yao in confusion, "What do you mean by specialty?"

"It means whether you have a skill that you are good at, such as making clothes, cooking, etc."

Ma Meifang thought about it carefully, "I can make moldy tofu, is this considered a specialty?" Moldy tofu is a specialty of her hometown, and the production method is also very simple, just use fresh tofu, leave it for about a week, let it mold and ferment, then mix the tofu with seasonings, simmer it with white wine, and put it in a clay pot. "

Of course it counts." Ling Yao smiled and nodded. She knew about moldy tofu and liked to eat it. It contains many kinds of amino acids, minerals and B vitamins needed by the human body. It has high nutritional value and can stimulate appetite, reduce internal heat and add flavor. It is a traditional special bean product in the south.

"Then I will make you a pot of moldy tofu when I go back, so that you can taste my craftsmanship." Ma Meifang said excitedly. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly came to her senses and thought that she had parted ways with Zhang Huzi. Now she and her daughters have no home. Even if she wants to make moldy tofu, there is no place to make it.

Ling Yao nodded slightly, "Then just open a shop specializing in moldy tofu."

"Ah?" Ma Meifang looked at Ling Yao with confusion on her face, not understanding what she meant.

Ling Yao smiled, "Since you are good at making moldy tofu, why don't you open a store that makes moldy tofu? There is no such store in Beijing at present. If you open one, the business should be very good. Although moldy tofu is not good-looking, its market demand is considerable. Many restaurants will use moldy tofu as an important seasoning, especially those hot pot restaurants." It happened that she also had several hot pot chain stores in her business, which could provide Ma Meifang with sales channels.

Ma Meifang was a little tempted after hearing this, but then she looked embarrassed, "But I am penniless now, how can I afford to open a store?" She now even has problems with the most basic food and accommodation, let alone opening a store.

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me if you are willing to do it."

"Of course I am willing." Ma Meifang nodded.

"Then let's go find a store later." Ling Yao decided. Since she decided to help Ma Meifang and her daughter out of the predicament, she would naturally help them to the end.

"But I have no money." Ma Meifang looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry about the funds. I will take care of it."

"How can that be possible? You have helped us mother and daughter so much, how can I take your money? In fact... I can just set up a stall, I don't need to open a store." Ma Meifang saw many stalls on the street before, and their business seemed to be good.

"It's true that you can set up a stall, but opening a store will bring more profit. If you set up a stall, those restaurants will not cooperate with you at all, but opening a store is different. You can register a brand first, and then find a way to promote your own brand. In the future, you can not only cooperate with restaurants and hot pot restaurants, but also sell your products in large shopping malls."

Ma Meifang was a little confused, "Will it really work?" She had no confidence. After all, in her hometown, almost every household can make moldy tofu.

"As long as you are willing to take the first step."

Ma Meifang hesitated for a long time and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ling Yao smiled faintly, "Okay, we'll go find a store later."

"Okay!" Ma Meifang nodded vigorously. She swore in her heart that she would work hard, make the most delicious moldy tofu, and never let Ling Yao down.

After coming out of the teahouse, Ling Yao and Ma Meifang began to stroll through the streets, looking for shops for sale.

"Let's go and have a look." Ling Yao saw a shop for rent across the street, and planned to ask if the other party planned to sell the shop in addition to renting it out.

"Yeah." Ma Meifang nodded, and was about to follow Ling Yao to the opposite side.

At this time, there was a burst of shouting and hurried running sounds behind them.

"Don't run! Stop right there!"

Turning around, they saw a young man running towards them breathlessly, and behind him there were two men chasing him.

"Stop chasing me... It's not that I don't want to pay you back... As long as I sell the store, I can pay you back right away..." The young man ran and panted, and at the same time shouted to the two people who were chasing him closely.

The two people chasing him from behind had no intention of stopping, but instead sped up, caught up with the young man, and pressed him to the ground.

"No one wants your shabby store even if you give it away. Pay me back now, or we will break your legs." One of them threatened viciously.

The young man was trembling with fear, "But I really have no money now... Give me two more days... Then I promise to pay you back..."

One of the men slapped the young man hard, with a look of contempt, "Do you think we will still believe you? Money back, or legs? You choose one."

Ling Yao turned around and saw the young man's face. She was slightly stunned.

She had seen this man in her previous life, but the difference was that he was already a superstar in the music industry at that time. He was best at rock music, and every time he held a concert, the venue was full.

"I'll go and take a look." Ling Yao stepped forward and walked towards the three people.

Ma Meifang came to her senses and quickly reached out to hold Ling Yao, shaking her head at her, "Don't go, be careful not to get hurt by them."

"It's okay, I'll go take a look and come back, you wait here for me." Ling Yao pulled back her hand and walked towards the three people.

"It's not that I don't want to pay you back... I really don't have money... Please give me two more days... I promise to pay you back..." The young man begged the two men.
