Beef Meatball Soup
"Mom, why don't I just open a small restaurant instead of buying barbecue tomorrow? Let's buy some home-cooked dishes."
"Can't you wash your hands before eating?" Chen Ying looked at Qing's greedy look and couldn't help but blame her.
He just kept moving his hands. Seeing that Xiang Qing was enjoying the food so much, he quickly took out a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soup with beef meatballs and radish, and put it into Xiang Qing's mouth.
Take a sip of the soup first, it is clear and sweet, combining the richness of beef and the sweetness of radish.
Take another bite of the radish, you will find that it has been stewed until it is soft. The moisture of the radish itself and the moisture hanging on the radish in the radish soup melt in your mouth, while being moist and soft, and adding some beef aroma.
The final highlight was the beef meatballs.
The beef balls made by Chen Ying are firm and chewy, with a slight toughness when bitten. The meat is rich in aroma, and the radish has a sweet taste.
I don’t know why Chen Ying’s technique is so good. Every piece of meat tastes soft, tender and smooth when you bite it.
"Mom, Mom, give me another bite. If you eat one more bite, I'll go wash my hands."
Xiang Qing was like a puppy trying to pick up food, asking Chen Ying to feed her a mouthful of beef.
Chen Ying was also obedient and fed Xiang Qinghao one bite at a time. After finishing the bite, Xiang Qinghao hurriedly went to wash his hands so that he could eat quickly.
While eating, Xiang Qinghao didn't forget to ask about serious matters.
"Dad, did you buy the meat I asked you to buy today?" Xiang Qing put a mouthful of beef into her mouth.
"I bought it. Two kilograms of lymphatic meat are right there." Xiang Weidong also said while eating, and he said it very proudly.
"Not only did I buy two kilograms of lymphatic meat from Lao Dong, I also did something even greater."
What have you done that deserves the word "great"?
"What's the matter?" Xiang Qinghao and Chen Ying stared at Weidong, especially Chen Ying, for whom this matter had been a mystery for a long time.
"Didn't you tell me to pretend I didn't know what meat was and buy it? And this person actually bought me two kilograms of bad meat."
"When I was leaving the store, a girl came over and told me that the meat I bought was not good. She had also been cheated. They were people who lived not far from the market and had also been cheated."
"When I heard that, I thought, how could I let go of such a good opportunity? So I teamed up with that girl and planned to go to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau to report it tomorrow."
"Today, that girl took me to meet with some people who had been scammed in the area. There weren't many of them, only three or four, but it was better than me going alone."
"Tomorrow I'll take those two kilograms of lymph node meat, and that girl will lead the victims to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau to sue the boss. Let's see how he cheats people in the future."
This news touched a chord with the people.
"Dad, you're so brave. Three or four families might not be a lot, but if they all report the boss together, it's enough to make him suffer."
Xiang Qing looked at Xiang Weidong with eyes suddenly filled with admiration.
"Great, Lao Xiang. I find that you are becoming more and more reliable in doing things." Chen Ying clapped the table and praised Xiang Weidong.
Xiang Weidong was so flattered by the mother and daughter that he almost lost his way.
"When I was unreliable, you guys didn't see it. You didn't see that girl, after hearing me say I was going to complain to the boss, she treated me to a meal out of gratitude."
When people said Xiang Weidong was fat, he started to pant.
"Hey, hey, Dad, why do I feel like you're getting more and more arrogant when you talk?" Xiang Qinghao said to Xiang Weidong with a smile on her face, but her tone was still very subtle.
Chen Ying doesn't indulge him.
"Alright, blow it up again, not to mention cowhide, even donkey hide will be blown up to the sky. A beef meatball can't even fill your mouth, how can you fit a cow in it?"
Xiang Weidong was feeling smug about what happened today, but Chen Ying poured a bucket of cold water on him, leaving Xiang Weidong looking unhappy.
"You old woman, I've done such a big thing today, why don't you just be happy and discourage me?"
Chen Ying: "What's there to be happy about? You should do this for Ah Hao."
Xiang Weidong: "You..."
"Okay, okay. Mom and Dad, what happened today was a good thing, and you guys even made fun of it." Xiang Qinghao quickly tried to smooth things over.
"It's your mother's business." Xiang Weidong said unconvinced.
"Yes, it's my fault. I'll give you another bowl of beef soup to help you feel better."
As he spoke, Chen Ying took Xiang Weidong's bowl and filled it with beef soup.
As soon as the bowl was placed in front of Xiang Weidong, the whole family couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The next day, Xiang Weidong took out the 2 kilograms of lymphatic meat he had bought yesterday and went to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau with the families he had agreed to meet with to report Lao Dong.
All of a sudden, so many people reported a store, and this store had a history of false accusations against others, so the staff of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau immediately launched an investigation.
When I went to Lao Dong's shop, a lot of expired meat was still clearly lying on the chopping board.
Xiang Qinghao also went to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau to accuse Lao Dong of slander and wrote a written report.
After the final investigation results were released, the company was fined and the business was suspended for rectification.
Lao Dong's butcher shop closed immediately.
Xiang Qing, who is also a businessman, understands very well that the punishment imposed by the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau is not the most fatal.
Fines are not the most fatal.
The worst thing is that this matter has spread throughout the market.
In the past, only a few cheated customers knew about it, but now everyone knows it, and consumers’ trust in him has dropped to zero.
Therefore, even if Mr. Dong reopens the store after the reorganization, no one will come to patronize this store.
Thinking about this, it really makes people sad and cry.
However, the petty Xiang Qinghao took a detour on his way to find Lao Hu and went to the door of Lao Dong's shop to see that the butcher shop was closed.
He asked for it.
When she went to buy meat before, she sold it well because she knew the meat.
If it was Sister Zhou, he would sell her lymph meat, instigate Sister Zhou to make a profit from the price difference, and slander her store for selling spoiled meat.
If she could accomplish any one of these things, she wouldn't have to do business anymore.
She was his honest customer, but he was not his honest meat seller.
So, this is not what you are looking for.
Since you are asked to close down and reorganize, you should do it well.
Whether you can come back to life in the future depends entirely on luck.
After resolving the old boss's issue, Xiang Qinghao prepared to deal with the next matter.
So I came to see Lao Hu today.
When Old Hu saw that Xiang Qinghao came to his shop today, his alarm bells immediately went off.
"Little boss, why are you here today?"
"Brother Hu, I came here today to discuss something with you."
Lao Hu: "You say."
"You've always said that business here is bad, so why don't you go somewhere else and sell meat directly in my shop?"
"During the day, I sell meat to others as normal. At night, I hang the pigs, cows, and sheep outside. When people want to eat kebabs, I cut them into the desired parts, as much as they want. I cut and grill them right away and sell them. I pay the customer the amount of meat they eat."
"My shop may not be big, but there's still enough space for you to put some meat. And although the location isn't the most prosperous, it's not worse than yours."
"My annual rent is 250,000 gold coins. You don't have to pay for it, and I won't charge you for selling meat during the day."
"It's about the barbecue meat for the customers tonight. You can give me a lower price so that I don't have to pay you the cost price, but you can also charge a price different from the market price. What do you think?"
So that's what it is.
This is a godsend for Lao Hu.
Not only do I not have to pay rent, but I can also sell meat and have a guaranteed customer base. Of course, such a good thing is possible. There is no way it can't be possible.
Fuyuan County is not that big, and he knows something about Xiang Qinghao and Lao Dong.
It is a win-win situation for Xiang Qinghao to do this.
She asked Lao Hu to go directly to her store to sell freshly cut meat, which would not only attract customers, but also prevent anyone from slandering her by saying that her meat was spoiled.
Similarly, Lao Hu's business was not good to begin with, so he was able to find a place that did not require rent and had a customer base. Although he was borrowing someone else's store and had no say in the matter, it was still profitable.
Businessmen are profit-driven, and the two hit it off immediately.
"Boss Xiang, you're doing me a good deed. I deliver meat to you every day, and when you suddenly came over, I thought you didn't want my meat anymore."
"How about this," Old Hu said immediately: "You don't charge me rent, and you let me sell meat during the day. I won't charge more, I'll just add 4 cents to the cost price. What do you think? Do you agree?"
The profit margin of meat is not high. Generally speaking, the shop owner can only make a profit of about 10% from the market price of one pound of meat.
Now that Lao Hu says this, he can only make a 4% profit from the price difference, which is not even half of the market price.
This sincerity is enough.
Lao Hu is also an old businessman. If they want to coexist for a long time, they must benefit each other. Xiang Qinghao roughly knows the purchase price of meat, and she can also calculate how much money he can make.
Xiang Qinghao couldn't find another place in the entire Fuyuan County that offered the price he offered.
Xiang Qinghao's expression immediately brightened.
"Of course, there's no reason for me not to agree. I was just worried you wouldn't agree, so I came to ask you so early."
"Since you agreed, I'll go back now and clean up a place for you with Sister Zhou. Then I'll find someone to make two hooks for hanging meat, and then we'll sell them in the evening."
Lao Hu: "Need I ask? Of course I can. No rent and I can buy meat. I wish such a good thing would fall from the sky."
"Go back to the store and prepare now. I'll take the meat over today. You don't need to ask someone to make the hooks for the meat. I'll make them myself. I'll sort out the other things later. As long as we can sell the meat today, that's all that matters."
This is why Xiang Qing came here so early in the morning.
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that."
This is a win-win situation, so Xiang Qinghao walked towards her store with excitement.
Not far away, I saw a two-story building for sale in a good location in the commercial district.
