Chapter 500 Acquaintance
Lin Chuxia took the handwritten menu, a smile flashed across her eyes, "Boss, this restaurant is quite considerate, and the menu is also well made."
The boss was a young man in his early thirties. He smiled and said, "It's okay. This is also convenient for everyone."
Lin Chuxia nodded. When doing business, one has to think about what the customers think and what the customers need.
"A plate of mutton rolls, a plate of beef rolls, tripe, duck blood, rapeseed..."
Lin Chuxia knew Qin Yang's taste, so she ordered a lot of things and finally asked for a spicy hot pot base.
Qin Yang advised, "Don't worry about me. The soup base should be clear. I only like spicy condiments."
At present, the hotpot in Ancheng is still the traditional charcoal-fired copper pot in the north. It is authentic, but the soup can only have one taste. The shuangyuan hotpot from the south has not yet spread here.
"It's okay, let's order something slightly spicy. I'm craving for hotpot, and what's the fun of life without spicy hotpot."
Qin Yang looked at his wife's curved eyebrows and started smiling too.
He knew that his wife loved spicy food.
The courage he talks about is really good when he eats it.
But after she said that, Qin Yang did not refute it. He emphasized to the boss that he only wanted it slightly spicy, and that he wanted the seasoning spicy, while his wife wanted it non-spicy.
The seasonings are all sesame sauce prepared by the store itself, and the dish is full of sesame sauce aroma as soon as it is served.
The water in the hot pot was boiling, and Qin Yang first blanched a piece of mutton for Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia blanched a chopstick of tripe for Qin Yang.
When the two of them put the hot food into each other's bowls, they were both stunned and then started laughing.
Lin Chuxia likes mutton and Qin Yang likes tripe, both of which are the other's favorite foods.
"Eat quickly, don't worry about me."
Lin Chuxia rolled the blanched mutton in sesame sauce and stuffed it into her mouth. She ate it with such satisfaction that she urged Qin Yang to eat more.
"You haven't eaten well at home during this period, have you? I see you have lost weight."
Qin Yang was still slowly blanching the mutton. He gave her another piece of meat with chopsticks before eating his own. He also replied, "It's okay. The food at the company has always been the same. But when I was on a business trip, the food there was indeed a little disappointing. It's not that thin, and the portion size hasn't changed."
"Impossible, I can see that you've lost weight, how come the portion size hasn't changed? Eat more, and if it's not enough, we can order more."
Lin Chuxia couldn't bear to see Qin Yang starve to death.
The little woman picked up the meat for herself with chopsticks, and Qin Yang actually ate a lot.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they called the boss to settle the bill, only to be told that the bill had already been paid.
Following the instructions, I found that it was indeed an acquaintance.
Across the street, I could see there was a family: a couple with their two children, eating hotpot at a table not far from them.
"Sister Liu, Brother Wang, you are eating here too. You are so polite. How can we let you pay for us?"
It was Sister Liu who sold peanuts and melon seeds and Brother Wang who sold fruits whom I met at the stall at the train station.
It was only after they got to know each other that Lin Chuxia realized that they were actually a couple.
Sister Liu had a good relationship with Lin Chuxia and loved to talk. She smiled and said, "Why are you embarrassed? It's proper for us to treat you to a meal. Now your brother Wang and I are doing your family's business. You are our God of Wealth now."
Lin Chuxia had heard Sun Lanlan mention this before.
In recent years, more and more stalls have been set up near the train station, and Sister Liu and Brother Wang are facing great competition.
One day, Sister Liu came to see Sun Lanlan. She knew that Qin Ji Baozi Shop was opened by Lin Chuxia, and wanted to ask Sun Lanlan if their vacuum-packed cooked food, beef sauce and chili sauce could be wholesaled and sold on the train.
Sun Lanlan had some concerns at the time.
Their steamed bun shop is right next to the train station, and they also sell Xia Yang's cooked food and beef sauce, both unpackaged and vacuum-packed.
Many tourists also come to their bun shop to buy.
If Sister Liu does business with Xiayang Food, wouldn't that be stealing Qin Ji's business?
Sun Lanlan didn’t know Sister Liu, but Aunt Sun knew her, and Sister Liu also talked about her relationship with Lin Chuxia.
Sun Lanlan couldn't make up her mind, so she called Lin Chuxia.
Of course Lin Chuxia would not refuse.
Putting aside her relationship with Sister Liu, in Lin Chuxia's eyes, there is no business that is too good to be done.
The train station has such a large passenger flow every day, and Sister Liu's sales model is so proactive, which is also a good thing for Xia Yang.
Although it may affect the sales of Qinji Baozi Shop, the sales of Xiayang Food will go up, so they will not lose money in any case.
But the truth is even more surprising.
Since Sister Liu bought the real
Empty packages of cooked food, beef sauce and chili sauce are sold at the train station. Qin Ji's sales have not decreased but have increased steadily.
Many people who have tried Xia Yang’s food think it tastes good.
When locals go out, they want to take some local specialties from Ancheng, so they choose Xiayang’s cooked food, beef sauce and hot sauce. When outsiders come to Ancheng, they also want to take some local specialties away, so they also choose Xiayang’s cooked food, beef sauce and hot sauce.
In this way, Xia Yang's reputation spread and became a major feature of Ancheng.
Sister Liu at the train station has a good business every day. The money she earns in a day is almost enough for her to earn in a week from selling melon seeds.
In the past, they would never have been willing to bring their children out to eat.
At most, I would cut two pounds of meat and stew it at home.
Lin Chuxia exchanged greetings with Sister Liu a few more times. The couple had not finished their meal yet, so she and Qin Yang did not bother them any more and left the hot pot restaurant.
"That elder sister just now was quite discerning."
As the two of them were walking on the way home, Qin Yang sighed out loud.
Lin Chuxia nodded in agreement. "Sister Liu and her husband have always been very smart. I heard that before the opening up, they secretly sold things at the train station. They can be said to be the earliest batch of self-employed people."
Lin Chuxia laughed like a fox, and Qin Yang also laughed.
What he meant by having vision was not about being an individual business owner, but about choosing Xia Yang's products.
He has great confidence in his daughter-in-law's abilities and her products.
When the two arrived at Qinjia Village, it was already dark.
From a distance, you can see the lights on at the wholesale market at the entrance of the village, and people pushing bicycles and carrying vegetable baskets coming and going.
More people gathered in a corner of the market where a curtain had been set up already.
Since the market opened, the village has hired a projectionist to show movies every day. The village chief said that they will be shown for a week.
Qin Yang stood at the entrance of the village. On his left was an agricultural supply store on the street. A little further away he could see the Xiayang Food Factory. On his right was a bustling vegetable wholesale market.
He used to go to school and work away from home and could only go home a few times a year.
The rigid and conservative little village in my impression is long gone, and this lively scene seems more vibrant.
Qin Yang reached out and held Lin Chuxia's small hand. Her hand was small, just right in his palm, yet it seemed extremely full.
