Food starts with noodles

Let her and Xu Wenhai come back together.

In this way, the Xu family's first family meeting began.

Chapter 477 Going to Rongcheng

"If you plan to open a store in the provincial capital, you have to look for a location now. Although the provincial capital is very large, there are not many places to choose from."

As soon as Chen Guifang heard that Xu Zhuo planned to open a store in the provincial capital, she began to help Xu Zhuo find the location of the store.

It should not be too far away, preferably in a prosperous area.

The area is preferably more than [-] square meters.

The most important point is what the old man has always emphasized.

That is to buy the entire store.

For the shops to be transferred in the provincial capital, those that meet this requirement are all around 400 million.

And some have to pay a certain transfer fee.

The house price is more than 1000 million, plus the price of decoration and tableware.

In general, there are almost 2000 million funds.

If it keeps going, it's not a big deal.

The point is that Xu Zhuo plans to go to the capital in a few years.

There is absolutely no need to invest so much now.

It even takes up a lot of money.

If there is no way to get rid of it at that time, the 2000 million will be lost.

In addition, the Xu family's cash is not so much now.

Let’s not talk about Xu Zhuo’s side. It’s just opened for two months. Overall, the decoration money is earned back, but the profit is not much.

Because the ingredients used in Sifang Restaurant are too good and the cost is too high.

Now it is all supported by high sales.

As for Chen Guifang, her company is currently short of funds, and she still hopes that the old lady can support it slowly.

And the funds earned by the Xu Family Restaurant.

You can't take them all out, at least hundreds of thousands of emergency supplies must be prepared.

The old lady has a lot of money, but the money is the foundation of the family, so try to keep it as much as possible.

Calculated in this way, if you buy a shop and then go through renovations, the Xu family will be hurt.

"Or, let me rent a shop, negotiate the rent in advance, and determine the annual rent increase. This will prevent the landlord from talking too much, and the family's funds can be relieved."

Rent?

All the family members looked at Boss Xu.

Somewhat surprised.

The old man was also a little curious, "If you rent a house, it will be fine within three to five years. If it takes longer, the rent you pay is almost enough to buy a set of shops, which is too bad."

Xu Zhuo smiled, "Maybe in a few years, I will move the Sifang Pavilion to the capital. My grandma has always wanted to move back to the capital. I will work hard and buy you a courtyard."

This remark made the old lady very happy, "It's still my obedient Sun Xiaoshun."

Then it was settled.

"Guifang will save some for the future. If there is a suitable store, let Xiao Zhuo come over and have a look. You don't want to use funds, I will go to the bank to transfer 100 million for you in the afternoon."

Once the old lady is happy, everything becomes easier.

Although everyone thought that Xu Zhuo went to the capital to open a shop, it was a fantasy, even the old lady didn't take it seriously.

But this is the filial piety of her good grandson, as long as there are words, it is enough.

The business of opening the store was up to Xu Zhuo.

If you rent a house, you can rent a house. As long as you get the terms of the contract right, even if the landlord wants to raise the price, he can't do anything.

Besides, it is a bit difficult to buy now, maybe this problem will not exist in the next year.

After all, if the Sifang Pavilion really needs to be demolished, it can get a lot of compensation.

If it is not demolished, then it will continue to open there. Anyway, the store is quite profitable.

Xu Zhuo really wanted to ask the old lady how much money she had now.

But on second thought, don't ask.

In case the old lady thinks that she is short of money, she will secretly stuff money for herself as she did when she was a child.

Although the task matter is important, it will be a few years after all.

It is more important to grasp the present.

At noon, the family went to Xu's restaurant.

Lively accompanied the old lady to have a meal of hot-boiled mutton.

This time the mutton boiled was cooked by Xu Zhuo.

From cutting meat to making dipping sauce, Xu Zhuo took care of it.

The old lady ate very happily.

He praised Xu Zhuo's shabu shabu much better than Dong Laishun's.

Originally, Xu Zhuo wanted to show the skill of making fried noodles in front of the old lady.

It's just that it's not suitable to eat fried noodles in this kind of cold weather.

Still shabu-shabu is more enjoyable.

After dinner, Xu Zhuo drove back to Linping City.

The old man plans to stay here for a few days before going back.

Anyway, everything is on the right track at the noodle shop.

It doesn't make much difference whether the old man is here or not.

And the old man was not in the store, so Feng Weiguo became the master chef.

Not only did he walk with a straight waist, but he also spoke a lot louder.

There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys dominate.

This is probably the case.

But after not seeing the old man for a few days, Feng Weiguo started nagging again.

"Why isn't Brother Xu coming?"

Xu Zhuo was really curious about how Feng Weiguo became the top spot in Shanxi cuisine back then, and why he was so impatient?

Fortunately, the place where he opened the restaurant was Datong, which was too far away from the Central Plains.

If he opened a shop in Jincheng, he would cross the provincial border to find the old man for his autograph in a matter of minutes.

The day of the half marathon is getting closer.

Originally Xu Zhuo thought that if everyone went to watch the game, the business in the store would not be very good.

In the end, Ma Zhiqiang helped him get a box lunch business from the organizing committee.

On the day of the half-marathon race, Xu Zhuo was required to provide [-] packed lunches, as well as matching soup, and preferably a side dish.

This is easy to handle.

Xu Zhuo quickly formulated related packages based on this business.

On the basis of the original Braised Pork Rice Set, a kimchi assortment is added.

And in order to promote kimchi, Xu Zhuo deliberately found an acquaintance of the organizing committee through Ma Zhiqiang.

A sponsorship spot was won for Yao Meixiang.

Although the effect is not very big, but anyway, this is an opportunity to show.

But these thousand lunch boxes are not all stewed pork rice.

Three hundred of them are Braised Chicken Rice.

Handy for those who don't eat pork.

These braised chickens were made by Feng Weiguo, and there were a lot of chicken nuggets for the [-] lunch boxes, which made him very tired.

Originally, Xu Zhuo wanted him to make another [-] copies, but considering his age, let's forget it, let's say [-] copies.

Anyway, pork is expensive now, and those students are not stupid, they must eat a lot of braised pork rice.

According to the information disclosed by Ma Zhiqiang, the members of the organizing committee of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com do not eat these lunch boxes, they have working meals provided by special restaurants.

The box lunches prepared by Sifang Pavilion are distributed to volunteers participating in the half-marathon.

These volunteers came from various colleges and universities in Linping City, so when packing lunch, Xu Zhuo asked everyone to try to be as affordable as possible so that they would not be hungry.

After finishing the lunch box, I tidied up the van compartment of Jianguo’s grocery shopping van, put clean cardboard boxes on it, and started packing the boxed lunch inside.

While he was busy, Xu Zhuo received a call from the old man.

"Xiaozhuo, clean up, we have to go to Rongcheng."

Xu Zhuo was a little confused.

All right, what are you doing over there?

"Your Grandpa Zhang is dying, you go with me and see him for the last time..."

Chapter 478 Seeing Zhang Zhengde Again

"what?"

Xu Zhuo couldn't accept it.

Although it was known at that time that Zhang Zhengde was only a few months away.

But I always feel that it shouldn't be so fast.

"You drive here with your godfather. The air tickets are all bought. You can just take the expressway to the airport. I'll wait for you there."

Wei Junming is going too?

Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.

But thinking about Wei Junming's status in the restaurant circle of Rongcheng, he really had to go there.

Right now it was eleven o'clock, Xu Zhuo hurriedly told Jianguo and Zheng Jia to take care of delivering the boxed lunches, and then drove to the Sichuan Restaurant.

Wei Junming was already carrying a backpack and was waiting at the door.

Seeing Xu Zhuo approaching, he didn't care about greetings, opened the car door and said, "Go to the North Ring Road, it's faster to get on the highway from there, this half-marathon race has closed several roads, and both the South Ring Road and the East Ring Road are blocked. .”

It's easy to go out with this kind of person.

Before the car arrived, he had already planned the route.

Xu Zhuo drove straight to the North Ring Road, got on the highway smoothly all the way, and then drove in the direction of the provincial capital airport.

Wei Junming looked melancholy: "I know that Mr. Zhang's time is not long, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I thought I could last until New Year's Day."

It's mid-November now, don't even think about New Year's Day.

It probably took only a day or two for Zhang Yuejin to call.
