Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

After leaving Sister-in-law Chen's house, Mother Lin stopped talking.

Xu Wanning saw her mother-in-law's embarrassed look and took the initiative to ask: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Aning, I'll tell you straight, don't be angry."

"You tell me, I promise not to be angry."

"Mom doesn't care about the money in your hand, nor does she want to interfere with how you spend your money. But you said that it cost ten yuan for just such a thing. Isn't it a bit too much? Ten yuan, it's all How much rice and noodles can I buy?"

Xu Wanning knew that although life at home was better now, Lin's mother's mindset was still stuck in the past when she didn't have enough to eat.

Although Xu Wanning gives Lin's mother 30 yuan every month for household expenses, and she also takes out the rice and noodles from the space before going to school every weekend, but ten yuan is still a lot of money for Lin's mother. cost.

Forget it if you are buying meat or other daily necessities. Just buying something that tastes so-so doesn’t always feel worthwhile.

Xu Wanning was not angry, but patiently explained: "Mom, let me ask you a question. Have you seen or heard of kelp before Sister-in-law Chen?"

"No." Mother Lin responded truthfully.

"Despite the prosperity of Beijing, there are not many people who have eaten kelp, mainly because it is not convenient to transport. The competition pressure of opening a restaurant is already very high, so I brought out kelp and other seafood products that are not available in other restaurants. Come here, won’t you capture the curiosity of many diners? In this way, are you afraid that there will be no more customers?”

Mother Lin suddenly realized, "Look at my brain, I haven't thought of this level. Aning, it really has to be you."

While they were talking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already returned to their yard.

Xu Wanning put down the bags of things she was carrying and said to Lin An like a treasure: "When I go to the restaurant in the afternoon, I will bring the kelp to the chefs and add a cold kelp to our menu. As for the kelp knot , I can add it to braised food, and the taste is completely different from other vegetarian dishes.”

"It's hot today, so the soup should sell well. I can also add seaweed and egg drop soup, but it's a pity that Sister-in-law Chen doesn't have dried shrimps. If I add some dried shrimps, the taste will be even more delicious."

Lin An likes to see Xu Wanning look so energetic when facing something she likes.

"It's not even ten o'clock yet. Now, send it to the restaurant and teach the chefs how to make it. Can't we sell it at noon?"

"It's never too late to make money. Don't worry about it. The main task today is to accompany Song Han and Jinchu to the square. I promised them last week, so I can't break my promise."

The brother and sister, who were originally doing their homework, pricked up their ears and eavesdropped since their mother came back.

When he heard that his mother was going to take them to play, Song Han, who had always been mature and sensible, couldn't help but smile.

"Sister, my father didn't say something right. Even if my mother loves her studies and work, we are always the most important to her."

"Yes! Mom still loves us, right? But brother, I think we are so selfish."

"or……"

The brother and sister made a plan and ran out of the room, holding Xu Wanning's hands on the left and right respectively.

"Mom, you are going on summer vacation soon, and you will have a lot of time to play with me. Forget it today, you should go to the restaurant first. After all, the restaurant has just opened and business is good on weekends. We need you more than us. .”

"It doesn't matter. Your Uncle Dongzi and Aunt Cuifen are taking over the restaurant, so it doesn't matter if I leave a little later."

"Mom." Jinchu shook Xu Wanning's arm: "My brother and I have been to the square twice, and we are not that curious. What's more, the square is very big, and half a day is not enough to play. Today you go to the restaurant first and wait for your summer vacation. , set aside three days, no, two days is enough, just spend some time with me and my brother, okay?"

"Okay, when mom goes on summer vacation, she will definitely spend a lot of time with Song Han and Jin Chu and take you around."

"Mom, go to the restaurant now. If you go earlier, you can sell more kelp."

Sitting on the back seat of Lin An's bicycle, Xu Wanning put her hands around his lean waist, "Did you tell the children something?"

She clearly felt that Song Hanjinchu had become a lot more sensible today and was afraid of causing trouble for her.

"They are all sensible and smart children, but I just gave them a few words of enlightenment to prevent them from getting into trouble."

Xu Wanning smiled happily.

Lin An's attentiveness and thoughtfulness made it feel like she was marching and fighting in the front while he stabilized the rear for her.

This feeling is really not bad.

If she could have found such a person in her previous life who thought about everything for her, she wouldn't still be single in her 30s.

At this time, there were a lot of people sitting in Xu's shop as usual.

Different from yesterday, most of today's guests are nearby residents rather than students from Huaqing University.

"Sister-in-law, you are here!"

Finally, when they arrived at Xu Wanning, Dongzi immediately went up to explain the situation.

"These customers must have inquired about the situation from the students who came to the store yesterday, so they came early in the morning to ask if we also had meat dishes for delivery. I couldn't make up my mind and was in a dilemma."

"Why not send it?"

She put all her effort into advertising and attracting school students to come to the restaurant to eat, just to attract nearby residents!

After all, students are not allowed to go out of school from Monday to Friday and can only eat in the school cafeteria.

Moreover, students only receive a monthly subsidy from the school, and some whose families are in poorer financial conditions have to save part of their money to send to their families. It would be great to be able to go out for a meal once in a while, and why not come to a restaurant to eat every week? ?

But nearby residents are different.

Although this area is not yet fully developed and is slightly less prosperous than the main urban area, these people are all natives of Beijing, and many of them have good family conditions. It is not a problem to eat two or three times a week.

And there is another invisible benefit. Their relatives and friends are densely spread throughout Beijing. If Xujiapu Restaurant becomes famous for its good taste and affordable prices, it will definitely attract many gourmets. By then, they may not have enough customers. ?

When doing business, you have to take one step at a time to see a hundred steps, you have to take a long-term view, and you can't just stick to the petty profits in front of you.

After listening to Xu Wanning's explanation, Dongzi really didn't know what to say except giving her a thumbs up.

With his sister-in-law’s vision, it’s hard for it not to be a big deal!

"Manager Su, do you want to give it away or not?"

"Send, send, send, of course! Xuehua, why don't you hurry up and bring the menu to Brother Yang so he can order!"
