"Lingling is the great hero this time. I'll reward you with two big chicken legs later. Use them to replenish your body. You look so tired and thin after the journey!" Yi Qingqing pinched the little sister's face.

Wang Lingling smiled foolishly, this effort was worth it! Qingqing not only praised her for being a great contributor, but also rewarded her with two big chicken legs!

There is nothing more gratifying than being praised by someone you admire.

After the incident with Liu Chunxing, she admired Yi Qingqing very much, and the more she got to know her, the more she liked her.

She often wondered how someone could be so smart, so capable, and so good.

She also wants to be someone like Qingqing, but knows she is far from it, so she tries hard to be friends with Qingqing and learn from her. Now she is getting better and better and has been praised!

"What about me? You pinch my face. Not only have I become thinner, but also darker! I also need comfort and reward!" Li Mengxue moved her face closer.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

How could this heroine, who owns an entire supermarket's fresh produce section, still be greedy for these two bites of meat? Doesn't she know about the Golden Flower? She just likes to make trouble.

He said unhappily: "A chicken has no third leg, so I'll reward you with a face-pinching service!"

Da Jinhua is indeed a little darker, especially the neck, arms and legs exposed. Her face is less dark, all because she runs outside in the hot summer. If you hold an umbrella when the sun is out these days, people will just think you are crazy. Comrade Da Jinhua doesn't dare to be so eccentric. No matter how often she applies sunscreen, it can't resist the direct sunlight. Wearing a hat can't cover much, at most it can cover her face.

But she didn't lose weight. Wang Lingling was worried too much during this period and was under a lot of pressure, so she did lose weight. Comrade Da Jinhua even gained some weight, and it felt quite comfortable to pinch her, Yi Qingqing pulled it.

"Ouch!" Li Mengxue covered her face and screamed in pain: "Little Golden Flower!"

"In order to welcome you and make some delicious food, I started preparing a few days in advance!" Yi Qingqing said.

Before she even had her meal, Li Mengxue chose to swallow her anger and was held firmly in the hands of Xiao Jinhuaer.

Qian Lailai shook her head. She had already understood that the boss was the one who cooked.

Yi Qingqing did start preparing a few days in advance, but it only took her a few minutes. She just thought about what dish to cook, then took out the corresponding ingredients and put them in the kitchen.

Because the meat dishes she prepared were not fresh meat, they were all smoked. There is a big difference in taste between frozen meat and freshly slaughtered meat.

If she wants fresh meat, she can only buy it at the morning market. She has been staying in Luoguxiang for so long that she doesn't like going out anymore. She doesn't want to compete with others for meat at the morning market!

So today's chicken, fish, and pork are all smoked, and the vegetables are from the vegetable garden in the northwest corner of the yard. The only special thing is the traditional sour plum soup she prepared in advance, which she filled several large aluminum kettles with and hung in the well in the backyard to keep chilled.

On a hot day, a sip of icy sour plum soup is refreshing to the core.

Li Mengxue was a little resistant before drinking it. She didn't like the taste of sour plum juice before she traveled through time. But after taking a sip, she fell in love with it.

It turns out that sour plum juice can be so delicious! It tastes sour at first, but sweet when you savor it carefully, and sour again when you savor it. What's rare is that it is sour but not astringent, sweet but not greasy, and has just the right taste. Even she, who doesn't like sour plum juice, thinks it tastes good.

Li Mengxue said she has fallen in love with sour plum juice, but it has to be the Yiqingqing brand.

Li Mengxue soon discovered the business opportunity. Selling beverages can also make money. Maybe this sour plum juice can also be prepared: "Qingqing, this sour plum juice can be used as a special drink of our food company in the future, or we can sell the seasoning packets for making sour plum juice. However, if we sell the seasoning packets, we have to wait until the brand has a certain reputation, otherwise it will be easy for others to steal the recipe."

Yi Qingqing nodded: "Anyway, you can do whatever you want! The formula is ready, just let me know when you want to make it. Before that, the shelf life of the food must be resolved. Now let's finish the clothing store first. I have all the recipes here."

She didn't understand these things, but she knew that it was no problem to open a small shop and sell the food and drinks made everyday, but industrialization was not a simple matter and there were many tricks involved.

Li Mengxue nodded: "It's easier to make clothes. We don't know much about food. It will be easier when we have funds later."

She planned to wait a few years and then directly acquire a food factory with poor performance.

"By the way, Lingling's father also said that the self-employed business issue may be decided soon. You might as well start looking for a tailor for the store during the summer vacation. It would be best if people could be put to use once the policy comes out. But I still have no idea about finding people. Do you have any ideas?" Li Mengxue said.

"This person must at least be reliable enough. Otherwise, if the policy is not implemented and we hire someone to make clothes in bulk in the store, we will be in trouble if someone reports us," Qian Lai said.

"That's fine. I've asked around and no one is in charge of this anymore. The department that was specifically responsible for this is gone," Wang Lingling said. "I heard that the black market is no longer in charge and is almost becoming an open market."

"Indeed, but it's still quite chaotic, with many idle people hanging around," Li Mengxue also said, "but we really have to be reliable, otherwise the tailors we trained might go out and start their own business when they see that our business is good. Although we have designs, we still have to hand them over. The only safer thing is that we have fabrics, but we still have to go to school later, and it would be troublesome if no one is looking after us. And what if our store becomes popular and competitors come to do bad things, or bribe people inside to steal designs, or burn fabrics in our attic warehouse?"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling also looked at her blankly: "Is it so serious?"

"It's that serious!" Li Mengxue nodded heavily.

Section 245

Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling were frightened. They straightened their expressions and looked serious, thinking about countermeasures.

Yi Qingqing was very upset. Comrade Da Jinhua's paranoia was quite serious, but it was not a bad thing to think of the worst first. "I think we should first find someone who can take care of the store and will never betray us to be our store manager! Having a suitable person to look after it can avoid most of the troubles. This person is more important than a tailor!"

"Isn't Meng Xue the store manager?" Wang Lingling asked, "She is the executive president and the person in charge of the store."

"Qingqing is right. We are going to open a company in the future and have many stores. Each store will need a store manager, and the store manager has to be in the store to look after it every day. We don't have time to be a store manager." Li Mengxue said.
