Getting rich in chronology

There are many things to prepare for opening a milk tea shop.

When choosing the location of the store, Chen Yu deliberately chose a store far away from Shen Ji Malatang.

The Malatang restaurant has always been lively, even noisy, and those customers who want to sit and drink milk tea in a leisurely way probably want a quiet environment.

For the first two mala tang restaurants, Chen Yu didn't spend too much attention on the decoration, and kept it in a simple and elegant style.

Milk tea shops are different. If you want to be romantic, you have to decorate them more exquisitely and beautifully.

Chen Yu has never studied interior design, but he has seen a lot of milk tea shops of all sizes, so it is not difficult to learn from them.

But the difficulty was that he couldn't find a decent decoration team.

The so-called renovation workers in the previous two Malatang shops were actually ordinary masons.

Many men in this era, especially those in rural areas, are more or less familiar with the skills of masons, and it only depends on whether the skills are good or bad.

If someone wants to build a house, the young and strong in the village will go to help together, buy materials and build it by themselves.

It's no problem to let them lay bricks and tiles, and he can only rely on himself for other fine decoration.

If you want the milk tea shop to have a distinctive style and make your eyes shine as soon as you walk in, the white putty walls will definitely not work.

If someone goes in and their eyes are bright, it is probably the reflection of the wall.

That's why Chen Yu wanted to put up wallpaper, and used a large area of ​​wallpaper in a certain color to set the color tone of the entire decoration style.

However, he asked the large and small factories in Xingcheng, and there was no factory that made wallpaper. Instead, the purchaser of a plastic factory mentioned it to him, saying that a certain plastic factory in the capital has simultaneous production of printing and embossing. Paper and pvc composite wallpaper.

capital?

Chen Yu was dumbfounded. With the current traffic conditions, he would have to go back and forth from Xingcheng to the capital for at least two or three days. How could he have the time.

Or send someone to the capital on a business trip to purchase?

But he doesn't have such a suitable candidate at present. Before recruiting people, he chose honesty, reliability, hard work and willingness to work. If he is going on a business trip, it is best to find a flexible opportunity to become bolder.

The wallpaper can't be fixed for the time being, so Chen Yu asks someone to make rough decoration first.

Except for the load-bearing walls, all other walls in the suite were demolished, some old places were repaired, the walls were re-scraped and putty latex paint, and the concrete floor on the ground was also re-leveled.

There is no need for Chen Yu to keep an eye on these jobs, the soldiers of the security team have already started to go to work, because there are too many people and few jobs, they consciously go to work for Chen Yu.

At first, they wanted to decorate Chen Yu by themselves, and they were also capable of these tasks.

The good security personnel went to repair his house, how could this work, Chen Yu persuaded them again and again, and then let them work as construction workers.

It is said that it is construction work, and people can't stay idle, and the work that can help them is done easily.

Even so, Chen Yu was still busy.

Now it is a bit difficult to order plastic cups. At present, there is no such disposable plastic cups, and of course, there is no plastic packaging.

But milk tea shops can’t just do dine-in business, and the convenience of takeaway packaging is also a great weapon to attract customer groups.

Between the glass cup and the paper cup, Chen Yu finally chose the paper cup.

One is because the cost of custom-made glasses is higher, and the other is because the capacity of thin-mouthed glasses is too small, and thick-mouthed and round-bodied ones are bulky.

Paper cups are probably not as durable as plastic cups, but they are good enough for short-term storage.

Chen Yu has been to all three paper mills in Xingcheng, but he is also willing to accept foreign orders.

But when he said his requirement, it has a certain water resistance, people's first reaction is oil paper.

Chen Yu didn't know what kind of paper the milk tea paper cups were made of. He only said that according to his needs, it should be used to make cups, and it would not leak when used to hold drinks.

Both paper mills refused, and only one old paper mill called a few old technicians to talk to Chen Yu, and after asking them clearly, they accepted the order.

Plastic packaging can only be customized, but fortunately, it is not difficult. When Chen Yu went to various factories to inquire, most of the plastic factories were willing to accept his orders.

Although I don't understand why rolls of plastic film are made like that, and fixed patterns are printed

What can such a narrow plastic film do?

In addition, mugs and glasses for dining in the store have to be customized, so I contacted ceramic factories and glass factories.

The custom-made cups and mugs are not a single color, but different colors of the same style.

Chen Yu also specifically requested that, in addition to the shop's small label, a literary sentence should also be printed.

This era was an era when poetry was popular, and some famous poets were sought after by people, especially intellectuals, just like the stars and singers of later generations.

Many students in Chen Yu's class, including Chen Meili, have an exquisite notebook, which is specially used to extract poems or sentences that they think are beautiful.

Chen Yu racked his brains and thought of some literary and artistic sentences that have been widely circulated in later generations.

For example, "I see deer when the forest is deep, whales when the sea is blue, and you when I wake up from a dream."

"Shuangmu is not a forest, but Tian Xia has a heart."

"I have a gourd of wine, which can comfort the wind and dust."

"You haven't got the sword yet, and you are in the rivers and lakes in a blink of an eye. May you go through thousands of sails and come back as a young man."

Etc., etc. [Note]

Some long sentences will be disassembled and printed on the whole set of mugs separately - mainly because Chen Yu racked his brains and didn't think of many, so he can only cut corners and print less for each mug.

After such a toss, everything must be customized, which will inevitably cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, the business of his two mala tang shops has been good, and now he is also well-known in Xingcheng. With the two shops combined, it is not a problem to make a profit of more than [-] a day.

There are even people from other places who come to Xingcheng on business, and the locals will treat them as specialties and take them to eat.

The business is so good, it's inevitable that there will be envy. According to Chen Yu's knowledge, other Malatang restaurants have opened one after another.

Chen Yu is not afraid of normal competition, as long as he doesn't use dirty tricks, he can still stop others from opening a shop.

However, some of those stores copied Shen Ji completely, and they also counted money according to lottery. The business model and so on were all exactly the same.

Some people think that it is unnecessary, and the stringing of lottery is a superfluous procedure. It is necessary to find a way to buy the lottery, but also to find someone to string it together, wasting money and manpower.

But they didn't think about dividing the ingredients reasonably, that is, simply breaking off the cabbage leaves, slicing potatoes, lotus root and radishes and other ingredients.

As a result, customers just choose an ingredient, and they can quarrel. This one thinks that the leaves of his vegetable are too small, and the other thinks that his potato slices are too thin.

Quarreling is still a trivial matter, and the number of customers is getting less and less day by day.

Then these stores quickly changed their models, and also changed to string sticks.

Chen Yu: "..."

In fact, a bundle of your rubber bands is also a share!

The only thing these stores have in common is that the price is cheaper than Dushenji Malatang, and it doesn't have to be too cheap, just a little lower price is enough.

For example, their vegetable sticks are ten cents, and those shops are eight or nine cents.

They also sell Malatang, which looks no different from Shen Kee, and the price is cheaper, which of course attracts some customers.

In the few days when the income dropped, Chen Yu went to the store to have a look.

He still remembered that when the old store opened, after the three-day discount period, the income dropped, Aunt Yu was very worried, and asked him if he wanted to continue the discount, but Chen Yu refused.

But this time when he came, Aunt Yu was there, so she didn't panic at all.

Chen Yu asked her: "Are you not worried?",

In the past few months, the business has been good, and the salaries of other store employees have been increased one after another. Aunt Yu lives on the dividends, and her salary is also high when the business is good, so there is no need to increase.

Now the branch can earn about 2 yuan a month, and Aunt Yu also earns about 200 yuan a month. In this era, it can be regarded as a high-income class.

Aunt Yu smiled proudly: "Don't worry, I have tasted it, those restaurants are not as good as ours."

Aunt Yang added: "Not honest."

As the head logistics officer in charge of the formula of the branch store, she clearly knows that the ingredients of Chenyu's soup base are all good things.

The big bones should be picked fresh, not to mention the meat and vegetable ingredients, they are very tight, so don’t use stale ones.

The level of ingredients in those stores varies, and some of the ingredients in some stores are not bad, such as vegetables are still fresh.

But the choice of meat is not necessarily a good part of the meat, such as chicken, Shen Ji's chicken is all chicken breast, and other chickens have bones.

I don't know which part it is, but it definitely can't be chicken breast anyway.

And if it is not sold out on the same day, it will be sold on the next day, and if it is not sold out on the second day, it will be sold on the third day. Anyway, it will definitely not be wasted.

This saves money, but the quality of the ingredients is difficult to guarantee.

Unlike Shen Kee, the meat is bought fresh on the same day. If there is any excess, the employees cook it during the meal. If there are too many people, it will be settled in one meal.

Neither waste nor smash signs.

Which of those shops is willing to cook meat for the employees, the boss himself may not be willing to do it.

And they can learn the surface of Shen Kee, but they can't learn the most basic soup base recipe and chili oil recipe.

Those restaurants may have worked hard, and the taste of the soup is not bad. Some diners who are not so picky think it is okay.

But Shen Ji still has some loyal fans, just like this, it almost didn't succeed.

That one or two cents is rare, and there is no free chili oil, and there is no fragrance after eating.

Willing to spend money to eat Malatang, but also care about the two cents?no need.

Add a spoonful of chili oil casually, and the difference will be made up.

Once or twice, the diners also recalled that Shen Jigui is expensive, and it makes sense.

It's cheaper to eat at other restaurants, but the cheapness is not for nothing. After careful calculation, I still don't know who is taking advantage.

Especially after a customer was sent to the hospital because he ate stale meat and had a bad stomach, many diners did not dare to eat casually. During that time, even Shen Ji's business was affected to a certain extent.

After the turmoil passed, Shenji's business picked up again, because old customers all knew that Shenji's ingredients were the freshest. They had been eating for so long, and they had never seen or heard of anyone having problems with eating.

The business of those malatang shops outside suddenly cooled down. Seven or eight malatang stores opened one after another, and three or four of them were closed in a short period of time.

The remaining few, in order to solicit customers, tried their best.

The ingredients must not dare to be fooled at will, but even if they use a loudspeaker to shout, our ingredients are very fresh, there must be no problem, and people can't believe it.

So in the end, they could only rely on lowering the price to attract customers. The original price was lower than Shen Ji, but even lowering it, the profit was reduced by more than half.

But at least there is a business, and those who have no money and are greedy for this bite are still willing to eat.

So the shop survived like this. There are two types of Malatang in Xingcheng, Shen Ji and others.

As we all know, Shen Kee's Malatang has the best and most authentic taste, the freshest ingredients, free chili oil, and it is very fragrant.

In other Malatang restaurants, the taste and ingredients are uneven. What kind of food you get depends on your luck, but the advantage is that the price is low.

In the end, Shen Ji was implicated in the middle, and his business was slightly affected.

Later, I made money steadily and steadily, and even because more and more people knew about it, I made more and more money.

So even though he was spending money all the time, the money in Chen Yu's passbook was always more than less.

Spending money is a trivial matter, and after spending several weekends looking for suitable factories everywhere, Chen Yu was extremely tired, and felt more and more that he had to find a capable helper.

In the past, Shen Qiao helped him, but now Shen Qiao has a lot of tasks in his hands.

The research and development of body armor is stuck on the material. Chen Yu has seen Shen Qiao doing experiments, and the unknown material is very tough.

With the strength of Chen Yu, he poked the knife down hard, and the edge of the knife was stretched out of shape, but it was not broken.

Shen Yu, who had no experience, felt that this was already very powerful, but Shen Qiao was very dissatisfied and said it was a waste product.

Chen Yu didn't dare to say anything. In his previous life, he only knew that there was such a thing as body armor, what it looked like and how powerful it was. He had never touched it, let alone worn it.

Shen Qiao said it was useless, toughness alone was not enough.

Chen Yu could only listen, on this kind of topic, he had no right to speak, only Shen Qiao had to say it.

But at present, this is the material with the best effect that Shen Qiao can synthesize. He needs to know more basic materials to break through the bottleneck.

Knowing that Chen Yu was waiting for the laminator, oven and other machines to be used urgently, Shen Qiao didn't smash the bulletproof suit stuck in the bottleneck, and planned to make him a laminator first.

Chen Yu has used this thing before, and knows the general principle of operation, because it is really easy to understand.

Drive belt slides are devices that can be seen at a glance, and the main function should be its electric heating sealing system.

Chen Yu explained it to Shen Qiao, and he understood, saying that there was no problem, it was much simpler than body armor.

In fact, if there is a lathe and suitable production tools are used, the work efficiency of Shenqiao will be greatly improved.

But he obviously doesn't want to work with others, he would rather do it by himself, and he also dislikes others approaching him when he is working.

Chen Yu was not among them, squatting by the side to watch him busy, Shen Qiao still took time to look at him from time to time, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Chen Yu also wanted to help him, but he couldn't, he couldn't keep up with Shen Qiao's rhythm, and he couldn't understand what he was going to do next, and helping him was usually a disservice, and then he stopped intervening.

In addition to these things, tables, chairs, benches and the like also have to be customized.

Chen Yu planned to find the small furniture factory before, after all, the previous two cooperations were very pleasant.

But this time the tables and chairs cannot be the same as before, and have to be customized according to the style of the store.

Now it's back to the wallpaper, Chen Yu thought, how about taking some time to go to the capital, he hasn't seen the capital of this era yet, what does it look like.

Before he could make up his mind, someone came to his door first.

The first person to find was someone Chen Yu didn't expect, his current house, Zhao Yue, the former owner of the Zhao family's daughter.

Zhao Yue was originally an employee of the machinery factory. Last year, she planned to sell her job and send Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Changming to the capital to see a doctor.

Later, under Shen Yu's persuasion, he did not rush to work, but first found someone to do it.

After their family left Xingcheng, Chen Yu never saw or contacted them again.

This time when Zhao Yue came to the door, he learned about their experiences during this time.

As Chen Yu knew, there was no cure for asthma. Fortunately, they found a reliable doctor who could prepare Zhao Changming with medicines to alleviate the symptoms.

Zhao Yue did not elaborate on the process of seeking medical treatment, but only briefly mentioned one or two sentences, which can also give a glimpse of the hardships involved.

There were three of them, an old lady, and Zhao Changming who had asthma and could get sick at any time. Only Zhao Yue was an adult capable of taking care of the other two.

Zhao Yue is very grateful to Chen Yu: "Thanks to you for persuading me to go with my mother and have a long life."

"Did something happen?" Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Zhao Changming who was a vagrant in the original book.

Zhao Yue sighed: "We were on the train, and someone picked up our bags."

They had packed all their savings separately, and each had some in her body pocket, but her mother's pocket had been slashed and almost cut to the flesh by a razor blade.

It was the money for the grandson to see a doctor and save his life. How could the old lady be reconciled, so she made a fuss at that time and grabbed the thief and refused to let her go.

She realized something was wrong, a few men in the crowd stared at them unkindly, and hurriedly grabbed her mother, and then the three of them did not dare to disperse, and followed the conductor when they walked.

After getting out of the car, an aunt who was in the same car told them that those gangs of thieves had already picked up on them.

They thought they didn't reveal their wealth, but they mentioned that they went to the capital for medical treatment.

How could they not bring money to see a doctor? Although their Zhao family was defeated, they had a solid foundation in the past, so they still had a few good clothes.

Looking decent, the thieves felt that they must have money on them.

Indeed, they guessed right, they went to the capital to see a doctor for Zhao Changming, brought all their savings with them, and even sold the house, a total of nearly 2000 yuan was collected.

Fortunately, they opened up the money separately, and everyone didn't put all the money in one pocket. The old lady's scratched pocket contained more than 200 yuan. It hurts to lose it, but it's good that people are fine.

Therefore, Zhao Yue was very grateful for Chen Yu's reminder at that time, if she hadn't followed, but had stayed to sell jobs, her mother would have held the thief to her death.

An old lady, a sick child, the gang of thieves didn't know what to do with them.

Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she had a vague feeling that perhaps in the original book, Mrs. Zhao was retaliated by the gang of thieves because she caught a thief on the train.

It's not clear what happened afterwards, but Zhao Changming was the only one left living on the street.

As for why he didn't go home later, Chen Yu didn't know, but he knew that after Zhao Changming's father was released from prison, he failed to kill Yun Baiya and was arrested because he resisted arrest and attacked the police. He is alone.

So what about Zhao Yue?She was willing to sell her job to see a doctor for her nephew, which showed that she valued Zhao Changshou very much, sincerely.

In the original book, after Zhao Yue sold her job, she would definitely go to the capital to find Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Changming.

They must have made an appointment to meet when they went to other places, but Zhao Yue never showed up again.

If it wasn't for transmigrating into the book, Chen Yu wouldn't even know that Zhao Changming had such an aunt.

So what about Zhao Yue?Even if she didn't find Zhao Changming, wouldn't she come back to the city where she was born and raised?

And Zhao Changming's father, why did he go to Yun Baiya directly after he was released from prison.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like a mess, as if some clue is missing, making it impossible for people to sort it out.

But the good news is that Mrs. Zhao is fine now, and Zhao Changming has also found a suitable medicine.

However, the price of special medicine for asthma is very high. If it was the Zhao family in the past, it would not be a problem to support Zhao Changsheng, but now only Zhao Yue is left in the Zhao family and has a job.

Before Zhao Yue found someone to do the job, but she stayed in the capital for a longer and longer time. Her good sister in the factory told her that the guy who made the job wanted to replace her.

Zhao Yue had no choice but to return to Xingcheng in a hurry, first went through a suspension without pay, and then rushed to the capital.

This stay lasted for half a year, and Zhao Changming's medicine was available, and the money they brought was running out, so they had to come back.

"Are you going to stay in Xingcheng from now on?" Chen Yu asked.

Zhao Yue nodded: "Yes, the doctor said that Changshou was born and raised in Xingcheng, so he is more adaptable to the environment here."

And they have no money, she has to work hard to earn money.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the Zhao family returned to Xingcheng safely, even if they went to the capital in the future, the old lady was older, Zhao Yue would definitely not let her take Zhao Changshou alone.

Therefore, the fate of Zhao Changming should have been separated from the original plot.

He didn't know if it was wrong for him to change other people's established destiny without authorization, but if he was Zhao Changming, he would definitely prefer his relatives to be by his side safely.

"Do you have a place to live?" Chen Yu asked.

Zhao Yue smiled: "Yes, I have a room in the factory."

Although a little small, but there are only three of them, enough to live.

"That's good." Chen Yu was relieved.

Zhao Yue chatted with him about his experiences in the capital again, and repeatedly said that because Zhao Changshou was not feeling well just after he came back, and the old lady was taking care of him at home, that's why he didn't come together. I hope Chen Yu doesn't mind.

Of course Chen Yu didn't mind, the Zhao family was very polite, he guessed that they didn't have much money, but Zhao Yue came to the door and brought him some special pastries brought back from the capital.

Chen Yu originally wanted to ask Zhao Yue to take some of the snacks he made back home for Zhao Changming to eat, but he didn't know what kind of allergies he might be allergic to due to his illness, so he didn't dare to give snacks casually.

But he knows that asthma patients should eat more fruits and vegetables. He also loves to eat fruits, and he is not short of money. He is willing to buy some rare and expensive fruits when he encounters them.

So he packed some fruits at home and asked Zhao Yue to take them back.

Zhao Yue is so embarrassed, she came to thank Chen Yu, how can she still ask for other people's things, here are some fruits, she has never eaten, she saw someone selling them in the capital, the price is very expensive.

Chen Yu pretended to be angry: "I gave it to brother Changshou, how could you refuse it on his behalf, auntie?"

Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt a little more grateful: "Well, I will thank you for my longevity, and when he recovers, I will let him come to play with you."

Knowing that the plot about Zhao Changming had changed, and it was changing for the better, Chen Yu was in a good mood.

This good mood lasted until the next day when he went to school. Shao Lingyun, who hadn't given him a straight look for a long time, suddenly walked in front of Chen Yu's desk when get out of class was over.

Chen Yu: "..."

He glanced at his deskmate, who was also at a loss.

Shao Lingyun's face was dark, and he looked very reluctant: "My father asked me to tell you, please come to our house as a guest."

Chen Yu: "???"

No matter what the reason is, you don't have to!
