As soon as the news spread, many dim sum shops came to buy goods from Taohua Village to sell back.
Qiu Yinong proposed a franchise system, paying a fee, and all the dim sum shops would be renamed Taohua Village dim sum shops.
She can teach them pastry recipes, but she needs to take 20% of the store's income every month.
Some of them were obtained directly by the shop owner, who made the decision on the spot, while some were obtained by the shop manager, who also signed the contract if he could make the decision.
Unable to make a decision, he went back to ask and signed the contract that afternoon.
In this way, the reputation of Taohua Village’s dim sum became known.
There were two dim sum shops in Wen County. Qiu Yinong directly promised that there would only be one Taohua Village in each town, and a maximum of four in the county, because Wen County was indeed not small.
If there weren't a restaurant in every corner, I'm afraid people would have to run across half the city just to get a snack.
In this way, Taohua Village only needs to arrange trusted people to collect debts every month in the future.
The snacks in Qingquan Town are still provided by Taohua Village. In this way, Qiu Yinong does not need to prepare many shops, and the monthly income is already very considerable.
"The weather is about to get hot, so today I'm going to teach you how to make jelly. This thing will definitely be very popular once it's released."
The masters from various franchise stores soon arrived in Taohua Village, and Qiu Yinong brought the women from the workshop to teach them how to make jelly.
After the jelly is made, cut off a piece, add some milk, put the diced watermelon in it, add some ice and a little sugar.
"Please enjoy." Bowls of ice jelly were placed in front of the chefs.
They picked it up and tasted it, and their eyes lit up instantly.
"Ms. Qiu, you are really smart. I am completely convinced." One of the dim sum chefs was completely convinced after tasting it.
The women in the workshop all smiled triumphantly.
"Miss Qiu, may I ask what these aunts and ladies are wearing and what they are wearing on their heads?" someone else asked.
Qiu Yinong replied, "This is an apron, sleeves, and a headscarf on the head to prevent dandruff or hair from falling into the dim sum ingredients during the production process."
"I see."
"That's really good. Miss Qiu is indeed smart."
After a round of flattery, Qiu Yinong asked them to try to produce it themselves.
They are all experienced dim sum chefs, and they learn the skills quickly, and most of them can solidify successfully in one go.
Occasionally, one or two failed to solidify successfully because the proportions were not correct. With the aunts' guidance again, those aunts also learned how to do it.
The other dim sum can be made by the aunts in the workshop. Qiu Yinong was just about to go back and mess things up.
Then Gu Yan called him: "Xiao Liu, wait a minute."
Qiu Yinong turned and looked at him, Qingyuan and Ziyao followed closely beside Qiu Yinong.
Gu Yan hesitated to speak, and Qiu Yinong said, "It doesn't matter. They are my personal maids. If Brother Gu has anything to say, just speak directly."
Gu Yan hesitated for a while before finally speaking: "Xiao Liu, my heart belongs to you. When you reach marriage age, I'll ask my mother to find a matchmaker to come to your house and propose marriage, okay?"
"?!" Qiu Yinong took a step back and looked into his eyes.
Gu Yan looked nervous and pursed his lips. Just as he was about to say something, Qiu Yinong spoke directly: "I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I only have brotherly feelings for you."
"I don't have any feelings for you. Life is neither long nor short. I don't want to force myself to live with someone I don't love."
"I hope you can meet a woman in the future who you will never forget once you see her, and spend the rest of your life happily with her."
"I'm sorry, I'm not that person."
After hearing Qiu Yinong's clear rejection, Gu Yan didn't feel too bad.
On the contrary, after hearing these words, he felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous." Gu Yan apologized with a little embarrassment.
Qiu Yinong smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm such a good person. I'm good-looking, smart, and good at business. It's normal for Brother Gu to be confused for a while and think he's in love with me."
"Hahaha, yes, our Xiaoliu is indeed excellent." Hearing her self-joking words, Gu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qing Yuan and Zi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the girl didn't like this young man.
Otherwise, if the master knew that someone proposed to the girl in front of them and succeeded, they would probably be dead soon.
Both of them couldn't help but shrink their necks. It was scary to think about it.
"Now that we've brought it up, let's just pretend that Brother Gu never said anything about this. I'm going back first."
"By the way, Brother Gu will inform everyone that dividends will be distributed tomorrow morning." Before leaving, Qiu Yinong turned around and smiled and raised the banknote in his hand.
Gu Yan smiled and nodded, and replied that he would notify everyone.
Qiu Yinong felt a little sleepy, so she fell asleep on the bed as soon as she got home.
Qing Yuan and the other person went to Chu Hongyun and knelt down to apologize. After hearing the reason, Chu Hongyun was not angry, but a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Qing Yuan and the other two were horrified: "Alright, I won't punish you this time, but keep your eyes open next time."
"Don't let any man who has his eyes on your daughter get close to you again. If I find out your daughter is being proposed to, you will be beheaded."
"yes."
The two did not dare to stay for long and quickly retreated.
The next morning, every household received at least fifty taels of silver.
They couldn't believe their eyes. It had only been a short time, and this was just the dividends from the snacks.
Qiu Xiaoliu just said that he would give everyone dividends from the brick kiln by the end of May, and there would also be porcelain and other things in the future.
Oh my god, many women excitedly shouted: "Husband, pinch me and see."
Then, the wailing of men continued to sound: "My lady, didn't you ask me to pinch you? Why are you pinching me?"
"Hahahaha..." Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
The village head walked to the center, raised his head and signaled everyone to be quiet: "There is a happy event in Taohua Village. We will prepare a three-day banquet tomorrow to celebrate."
"Okay, my family will give you two taels."
"I'll give you four ounces."
"I'll give you five taels."
"The Qiu family will pay ten taels."
"Okay, let's eat at the rich man's house. We'll also live in a mansion in the future and hire servants to serve us. I can't believe it. It's only been less than two months, and I've actually... wuwuwu..."
As he spoke, the uncle from the same clan actually burst into tears.
Many people's eyes were red, and they were all moved and grateful.
Qiu Yinong couldn't stand such a scene, so she begged for mercy and ran away.
When everyone saw her running away, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They were so happy, really so happy.
Taohua Village was such a grand occasion that many people from other villages came to watch the fun. When they saw that Taohua Village was distributing dividends, the people holding their meals suddenly felt that the meat in their bowls no longer tasted good.
The villagers from other villages were extremely envious. Why wasn't Qiu Yinong a girl from their village?
The news that Taohua Village was going to hold a three-day banquet spread quickly, although there were many people who were jealous of the villagers of Taohua Village.
But what made everyone happier was that they could have a free buffet.
