Chapter 227 Balance and Arrangement
Mrs. Fu also came over to help Lu Xiang.
It is said that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain. Since Sister Lu is the store manager, it would be bad to let Mrs. Fu be inferior to her.
This delicate relationship between relatives still needs to be balanced. Lu Xiang specially thought of a way to make spicy hot pot dumplings.
Spicy hot pot dumplings are made with raw vegetables, uncooked noodles and sauce. You can cook them right away if you want. The taste is the same as when you eat them in the restaurant.
You can also buy the spicy hot pot sauce here separately for 50 cents a portion, and they can go back and order some noodles and dishes. If you calculate carefully, it is more affordable than eating in the restaurant.
Nowadays, there are many rich people and many poor people. Some people like to be thrifty, and the malatang sauce can be frozen if you have a refrigerator at home. It will not go bad for a month.
When you want to eat it, just cook some side dishes and pour the hot pot on top to make it taste like spicy hot pot.
Lu Xiang also bought the two shops next door and connected them together, which was just right for making spicy hot pot dumplings.
The scale has expanded a lot. If you can’t wait, you can buy the raw buns and cook them at home.
There are also some small shops that buy goods here, turn around and add a dime or two as a reward, and sell them out. They can sell 200 to 300 pieces every day.
Lu Xiang specifically asked Fu Ersao to make the dumplings here, and also found two helpers for her to follow her instructions.
Occasionally, after finishing my work, I also have to help with the washing and rinsing of dishes, which is quite a busy job.
Mrs. Fu was impressed. She knew why it was so delicious. She knew why the ingredients were so abundant. Just look at the chili oil, sugar, and white vinegar added in spoonful by spoonful. They are all good things. How can it not be delicious when put together?
People who live ordinary lives would not be willing to do this.
Those who want to follow Lu Xiang’s example and open a spicy hot pot restaurant may not be willing to use so much ingredients.
If you are too stingy and reluctant to add more, and the flavor is not good, there will be no returning customers.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang's business is big, so she can make some money by selling a lot at a low profit.
The two aunts who were helping out said to Fu Ersao, "Are you and the boss's wife really sisters-in-law?" They were bored working together, so they liked to chat when they had nothing to do.
Mrs. Fu said, "Yes!" She also talked about Lu Xiang's previous great deeds in the village. She helped build a vegetable greenhouse for the village, and everyone in the village benefited from it. No one said anything bad about her.
In the early years, Lu Xiang was praised by senior leaders in the county and even represented the county in meetings outside. She is the pride of the village.
The two aunts were shocked: "You are really capable!"
Mrs. Fu Er was also proud of it.
No wonder he can handle such a big business. He has been trained at the grassroots level and is extraordinary.
Speak of the devil, and here he is. After Lu Xiang finished her short lunch break, she came to the shop next door to see her second sister-in-law and let her two aunts take a break! As soon as she finished speaking, they went to the shade to fan themselves.
Lu Xiang handed Fu Ersao a bottle of orange-flavored soda, which had just been taken out of the refrigerator and was ice-cold. The women all liked it very much.
There is no fan here. Even though the doors and windows are open, it is still hot and stuffy in the summer. I get soaked after staying here for a while.
Drinking some orange soda was the ultimate indulgence. A bottle cost fifty cents. Lu Xiang asked, "How is it? Are you used to it here?"
Mrs. Fu took a sip of orange soda, which was so refreshing and cool that it went down her throat. She said, "It's not hard at all! It was much harder than this when I was working in the fields before."
She gets a salary here and has good relationships with people. After all, she is the boss's sister-in-law, and everyone respects her a little.
Sister Lu even prepared some special food for her at noon, and she felt very comfortable staying here.
Lu Xiang said, "I received an order yesterday for 300 copies to be sold in other counties. I haven't decided whether to accept it or not."
Mrs. Fu immediately said, "Take it, why not? It's a profitable business, why would you refuse to pay it back?"
Lu Xiang said: "I haven't sold it to other counties yet. I'm worried that he won't be able to sell it. The spicy hot pot dumplings will go bad after a long time."
Mrs. Fu said, "Since he dares to ask for it, he must have connections. Besides, many people want to eat it but can't. Besides, we can handle it here. Next time there is such a job, we will take it."
It used to take Fu Ersao more than a day to make two or three hundred steamed buns. Now she is more efficient and can finish almost everything in the morning. She quite likes doing this job.
Seeing that she was adapting well, Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it first. If you're too busy, tell me. It's next door anyway, so I'll come over and help you guys."
Mrs. Fu said, "Why would I need your help? I can definitely get it."
The two were talking when they saw a handsome man from afar.
Mrs. Fu's face immediately broke into a smile: "Oh, isn't the fourth brother here? Go quickly, he must be looking for you."
Lu Xiang turned around and found that it was indeed the case. She immediately said, "Then I'll go over first."
The two aunts who worked for Mrs. Fu had never seen Fu Qinhui. When they saw Lu Xiang leave, they came to her curiously and said, "Is this your brother-in-law? Hey, he's really handsome."
Fu Qinhui was wearing a well-ironed suit and had the aura of a superior, making him very conspicuous in the crowd.
Mrs. Fu said, "Of course not. He's the only college graduate in our village. My brother-in-law has always been handsome, and these two's children are even cuter, as beautiful as jade."
The two aunts had never seen anyone before, so they smiled and said, "That's really good."
…
Lu Xiang brought Fu Qinhui into a small storage room in the spicy hot pot restaurant. It was too noisy outside and there was no place to talk.
Now here, he finally said, "What's the matter?"
Fu Qinhui took out a passbook from his pocket, opened it and saw 10,000 yuan in the account. Lu Xiang looked at Fu Qinhui in confusion.
Lu Xiang asked, "Did you come here specifically to give me money?"
Seeing that no one was around, Fu Qinhui hugged Lu Xiang in his arms and whispered in her ear: "My wife is so good at making money, I can't let you down!"
He had been working tirelessly during this period, and this was the dividend that had just been settled, so he took it immediately.
Ten thousand yuan is a really large amount, and it would be quite eye-catching to put it in cash, so I just deposited it directly into my passbook.
Lu Xiang said: "I have money here, you can keep it for yourself." After all, Fu Qinhui's current status is different, and he often has to attend social events, so he has to bring more money with him when he goes out to feel at ease.
Fu Qinhui said, "I'll put it here with you!" His purpose of making money was to allow Lu Xiang to spend money freely and buy whatever she wanted.
The family had just bought a house, and most of their original savings had been spent. As soon as they got the money, they gave it to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang knew that Fu Qinhui was a persistent person, so when she saw that he was going to give it to her, she stopped refusing and said, "That's fine."
Fu Qinhui looked at Lu Xiang seriously and asked, "No reward?" His tone was inexplicably aggrieved.
Lu Xiang's heart moved, as if a small feather was tickling her heart, and she immediately pretended to be stupid and said, "What other reward do you want?"
Fu Qinhui clasped Lu Xiang's neck with one hand and leaned against the wall with the other. He lowered his head and held her in his arms. This place was the safest place with no one around, and he kissed Lu Xiang hard on the mouth.
Lu Xiang was shocked. After a few years of marriage, he seemed to be a bit more ferocious than before.
