Chapter 161 Building a Career
Lu Yun's idea is good.
Feng's mother pulled Feng's father aside to discuss selling two acres of land to buy Tian Miaomiao back.
Mr. Feng pretended to disagree, saying that Tian Miaomiao was not her real name, but her nickname was Xiaotianmiao'er. She had been working in a brothel for three years before someone paid money to redeem her. How could he marry someone like that?
Feng's mother said that since her son liked her, there was nothing she could do but kick him out and let him go with that woman. No one in the village would know, and no one would gossip about the Feng family.
Let's just pretend this son was never born.
The two deliberately spoke in a way that Feng Xiaoyong could hear, and even took out the land deed to sell it. At that moment, Feng Xiaoyong finally ran out of the house.
He went to work at the shop that very day.
I was scared.
However, this incident also serves as a wake-up call for everyone: if a seasoning is delicious, there will always be people who covet it.
Actually, this formula doesn't involve any technical skill at all. Ordinary people can't taste the difference because the ingredients are currently only used as traditional Chinese medicine.
If someone is truly interested in researching this, they can easily detect the difference by tasting it with a skilled doctor.
The recipe is available to everyone.
What they need to do now is to seize the initiative, define their brand, stop operating on a small scale, and grow into a major player in the industry.
Moreover, with low profit margins and high sales volume, we are not afraid of any newcomers.
The now-famous Wang Shouyi Thirteen Spices only made a profit of eight cents per packet back then, which is why it became a household name and an essential condiment on people's tables.
Lu Qingqing's energy wasn't focused on this, so she first consulted with Feng Xiaowan.
Ask her if she'd like to dedicate herself to this, or if she just wants to make a little money, do some every year, and sell it casually at a general store.
Feng Xiaowan was initially hesitant to take the plunge. She never even dared to dream of becoming a boss, expanding her condiment business, and selling it throughout the entire country.
It's impossible.
But then Chen Cuihua arrived, and she sold another thirty packets of seasoning.
Currently, it's just the two of them doing this.
One makes it, the other sells it.
After discussing it, Chen Cuihua became eager to do it.
She enjoys the sense of accomplishment she gets when she sells goods.
"How about we give it a try? Actually, when I'm selling to other restaurants, I'm always worried that you won't make enough. You don't know, the last restaurant I sold to came back to ask for it again."
"If I sell too much, they'll all come back for more. How can you possibly manage that?"
That makes sense.
Feng Xiaowan was still afraid. This was no small matter; it would require a lot of effort and couldn't be done hastily.
When asked, Lu Feng, who had no idea, simply asked blankly, "What about the child?"
Yes, the child is too young; how could she possibly take care of him?
But there was always a sense of resentment in my heart.
It's as if a mountain of gold is already laid out in front of her, but she's too tired to grab it.
The next day, she took her child and went back to her parents' home.
The elderly couple from the Feng family stared wide-eyed at what she said.
My own daughter is such a wimp, how could she be a boss?
However, it was Qingqing's suggestion, and since they thought so highly of their daughter, the two of them couldn't just ignore it.
Qingqing cured the old couple's chronic ailment!
They even ensured their daughter had money in her pocket, sending her meat over every now and then.
Furthermore, the son-in-law also had his good-for-nothing son learn carpentry from him.
The marriage between the Lu family and the Lao family is absolutely perfect.
They have to be there whenever they need to be used!
Mr. Feng stood up from the pile of firewood, patted his bottom, and walked out.
"I'll go find the blind fortune teller to do my reading!"
Feng's mother pulled Feng Xiaowan aside and asked her to explain in detail.
When she heard that Chen Cuihua had negotiated several business deals, Feng's mother opened her mouth in surprise again.
In the past, if Chen Cuihua had been kicked out like this, she would have had no choice but to beg.
But who would have thought that they would actually start a business?
If Chen Cuihua is old enough to do it, her daughter should be able to do it too.
"Mother, my little sister said that she can also come up with ideas when problems arise. If she can't do it, she still has the magistrate's son on her side!"
Feng's mother was even more confident!
"Mom, do you think I'm up to the task?" Feng Xiaowan asked expectantly.
"Sure! Why not! You can do whatever you want. I'll go to the Lu family tomorrow, I'll take care of the kids and help you with your work!"
Actually, she's younger than Chen Cuihua, and she's quite capable!
"Really, Mom? Then I won't let you work for free, I'll pay you!"
"Let's put wages aside for now, I just don't want to see your father's old face anymore!"
"..."
As he spoke, that old face returned.
"Well, what did the little blind boy say?" asked Madam Feng.
"They didn't get to see it. He made a mistake in the reading, saying the woman would have a son, but she had a daughter instead. The family came to ask for a refund and they're making a scene right now!"
"Hmph, the blind doctor's eyes are sometimes right and sometimes wrong, so it's better not to look at him. I say my daughter can do it."
Mr. Feng scoffed, "You think you can succeed? You're even more capable than that blind boy! Hurry up and cook, it's so late!"
"Hmph! I'm not doing it anymore! I'm never doing it again! I'm going to work with my daughter. I'm leaving now. You can drink the wind if you want, eat dirt if you want, nobody cares about you!"
The mother and daughter walked away happily, arm in arm... oh no, there was another one on their backs, blowing bubbles.
Father Feng: "..."
No, I've been running around a lot lately, I hope I don't annoy people!
Or...
Take him with you?
Feng Xiaowan decided to take her career seriously, and Lu Qingqing worked with her to create new packaging: Zhenmei Thirteen Spices, Zhenmei Five Spices Powder, and Zhenmei Braised Food Pack.
She also gave Chen Cuihua a set of sales pitches, creating a high-end image for the Zhenweimei brand.
Our ancestors were imperial chefs from the previous dynasty. This recipe was passed down from the palace and has been improved by several generations, combined with Chinese herbs, to create a refined product.
Food and medicine share the same origin; delicious and healthy.
Chen Cuihua's eyes lit up with envy, and she wished she could go back to all the restaurants that had refused her.
No, we have to run it all over again. The first time I didn't do it well!
Feng Xiaowan replaced several large stone mortars and bought a stone mill.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing was very enthusiastic!
If we really get down to business, we'll need even more medicinal herbs; we can't rely solely on Xu Rui's supply chain.
Although he brought in a lot of medicinal herbs last time, because there was no professional to collect them, many of them were substandard.
The quality of the items received by the delivery guy is still the best.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals!
"Auntie, Auntie—" Sixi ran in from outside.
He shouted, "So many people have come to Sister Lin Ye's house, it looks like they're here to cause trouble! Uncle has already gone over there!"
