After I was forced into a family, I was in a good mood

Jiang Yan can only go to Boss Qian’s store to study on weekends, and return to the small apartment in the afternoon to practice a few times after studying in the morning.For her, time really seems to be squeezed out, but after she makes full use of it, it is quite efficient.

This weekend Qian Ming also came to the store to help out. Ever since Internet celebrities came to visit the store, the business in the store has been much better than usual every weekend.Qian Ming is a game anchor, the kind who shows her hands and doesn't show her face. In order to avoid big anchors, she usually chooses to start the broadcast in the early morning and end after lunch.

Hearing that Jiang Yan was going to participate in a variety show, she was quite curious: "I heard that this kind of reality show has a script, so you can be regarded as half an actor like this?"

"I haven't seen the script yet, so I don't know how far it will go."

"I didn't expect your wealthy daughter to be interested in this kind of program. I thought only celebrities like to film this."

Now there are not many film and television resources, and many stars who became famous early but now have few job opportunities will choose to appear in variety shows or live broadcasts. The work intensity is lower than that of filming, but the pay is higher.

Over time, people naturally tend to projects that are easy and easy to make money.

But Xia Yining and Jiang Yan made it clear that they were not short of money, so they agreed to be on the show unexpectedly.

"Public welfare projects, by the way, can positively promote same-sex marriage. Although the law has been passed, there are still many people who don't understand this kind of relationship model."

Ever since Xia Yining agreed to participate in the show, the two spoke in the same way.

Qian Ming glanced at Boss Qian, who was chatting with regular customers, and said in a low voice: "Actually, our generation already thinks it's a very normal thing. As long as there is a marriage with feelings, it deserves to be respected and accepted. But like my dad's generation , To be honest, it’s hard to change.”

Jiang Yan also understands that people like Boss Qian are already reasonable, and they know how to seek common ground while reserving differences.But sometimes when they chatted, they mentioned Xia Yining occasionally, and most of them called her Miss Xia.

There are very few titles such as your wife and your wife among the neighbors casually, which shows that in their concept, traditional marriage is still orthodox.

"That's why we need to spread the propaganda so that more people can get in touch with it. We don't ask for full support, but at least we won't be ashamed of it and resist it like in the past."

Thinking of the small group of people who were forced to hide in the closet in the past years, and those who could not bear the pressure of society and family and chose to compromise and get married but ended in tragedy. Now it is a great progress.

But there is still a long way to go to truly allow the whole society to be tolerant and understanding, and no longer use colored glasses to treat people differently.

Jiang Yan felt that although the relationship between her and Xia Yining was not a real marriage, if she could contribute to this progress, why not do it.

Qian Ming gave her a thumbs up: "Sure enough, there is a pattern. But the generation gap is difficult to deal with, and no one can convince anyone. In fact, the best solution is to wait slowly."

She didn't say the whole thing, but Jiang Yan understands that the era of comprehensive tolerance will not be ushered in until the stubbornly resisting generation ages and the new generation takes over the mainstream.

"It's quite difficult, and it's not a bad thing to make more efforts that can be done now." It's not bad to take the initiative to do something instead of passively waiting.

The two of them chatted happily, Tian Sheng went back and forth, and brought many people over this time.Jiang Yan took a closer look, and it turned out to be several bosses from nearby old shops.

Qian Ming has been familiar with them since she was a child, and warmly greeted them: "Are you looking for my dad to play cards again?"

Boss Qian's hobby is to drink some wine with his neighbors, play chess and cards and chat.

Tian Sheng smiled and said, "In your eyes, we are just your dad's poker friends."

"No, no, but it's been a long time since I saw you coming together."

During the holidays, they will get together.But usually there are a lot of things to take care of in the store. Although they are not far apart, there are really few people who really get together like this.

When Boss Qian saw that they were all here, he asked his brother and sister-in-law to take care of the business, and walked over after washing his hands.

He beckoned Jiang Yan and Qian Ming to sit over: "Do you mind letting the two children listen to it?"

Tian Sheng waved his hand: "There's nothing shameful, maybe I need to listen to Xiao Jiang's opinion."

Others expressed no objection one after another, but Jiang Yan and Qian Ming were at a loss.

Especially Jiang Yan, as she sat down, she thought about what advice she could give these uncles.

Boss Qian is obviously the leader of this group of people, and Jiang Yan has already noticed the changes in Boss Qian during this time.Different from the leisurely and indifferent when we first met, he is very energetic now.

"Since everyone has decided not to sign the contract, then we have to think about how to save ourselves, how to resist, and how to let more people know about our characteristics."

After listening to Boss Qian's words, Jiang Yan realized that it was to discuss how to compete with Li's chain operation.She remembered that what Tian Sheng said last time was still delayed, but she did not expect to have officially rejected the Li family's acquisition offer now.The bosses who came today are the same, they decided to keep their shop.

"It's rare that Brother Qian is willing to come out of the mountain again. We have nothing to worry about. We will do whatever you say."

Boss Qian was grateful for their trust, but the pressure was not small.He also decided to take up the burden again after careful consideration, at least he could no longer keep his ears to the outside world like he used to.

"There are more than ten similar stores in our district, and now only six of us are reluctant to sign the contract. In the future, those stores will be renovated, conduct low-price promotions, or sell everything in one store, and we will be very passive. "

The storefronts of these old stores are not too big, and each has its own characteristics. Each store has a few special famous or attractive delicacies.Other stores also have a tacit understanding not to engage in repeated competition, and the neighbors are also used to walking down the street to buy all the food that the family wants to eat.

But the consumption habit that young people like is that it is best to buy everything in one store, so as to save running around.And it's best to keep the taste of each store stable, so you don't have to worry about stepping on thunder.

Tian Sheng said with emotion: "It is not bad to sell all the food in one store, but it requires high cost control, and to be honest, it is no different from foreign fast food."

Uniform decoration all over the street and food with almost no difference in taste, fast delivery and long-term stable prices are the core competitiveness of fast food chains.However, this is quite different from the characteristics of the old store, almost the opposite type.

What the old shop is looking for is uniqueness and uniqueness, even if the whole Haicheng cannot find a taste that is too similar, that is what they are after.

Several bosses also agree with this statement, but if there are all chain operations around, the customers will definitely be diverted, and it may not be good after a long time.

Boss Qian looked at Jiang Yan: "Little Jiang, what do you think?"

"Me? I don't understand the catering industry, and I can't match your experience."

"You are a young person, representing the consumers of your generation, just talk about your own ideas, you don't need any catering experience."

Jiang Yan didn't make too many excuses. She knew some of the people present here before, and they were all real people.Besides, those who can withstand the acquisition conditions of the Li family's arrogance are not people who only pursue money.

"If it were me, I would actually like to have more old stores. But I'm actually quite lazy. If I were asked to go to the southeast and northwest to buy food, I would retreat."

Everyone laughed when they heard her say that.

"But it will be different if we can gather characteristic stores together to form a small food street. I would be willing to spend my time tasting different delicacies, and I am willing to visit every store."

The premise must be that the characteristics of each family are different.

Boss Qian nodded: "Yes, we think so too. But there is an official food street not far from here, and our stores are all our own, so it's unrealistic to move there."

Jiang Yan said: "There's no need to move over there to join in the fun, build it on the spot."

Tian Sheng was a little excited and couldn't help urging her: "How to build it on the spot?"

"We still need to open a store in the old place without moving, but we need to decorate the store a little bit, and then it is best to link it up when doing publicity. For example, we will launch some package discounts, which include the main delicacies of several stores, or in the After spending the full amount in one store, you can get a discount in another store.”

This is not a chain store, but it can also form inextricably linked.

Some people also put forward their own considerations after hearing this: "Most of our customers are old neighbors, and they are familiar with what each of our stores sells without publicity. What you just said is mainly for new customers from outside, but new customers Will you be willing to come to the residential area?"

There are no tourism resources here, no official publicity resources to support it, it's just an ordinary street in Haicheng.

Jiang Yan pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, we young people don't like to go to places with many tourists. Besides, for the sake of delicious food, it doesn't matter whether it is an official food street. And now many food streets are not worthy of the name, and they are all delivered uniformly." The central kitchen products are not tasty and expensive.”

She is a rich lady, but she considers all the down-to-earth details.The prices of these old stores have risen slowly over the years, especially the self-owned stores have saved rent, and they often wait until the cost is too much to raise before they rise. The overall price is much cheaper than the average price outside.

The surrounding residents love to come, but they suffer from the lack of publicity and are not known by more people.

Boss Qian thought for a while, then patted the table: "I think Xiao Jiang's words are quite reasonable, and you can give it a try. After the Li family has acquired other stores, they will definitely not let us go easily. Instead of waiting for other attacks, we might as well Take the lead."

It really compares the taste to the price, and the old shop is not afraid at all.

Jiang Yan brought home more food than usual this day, but Ye Chenchen had already gone abroad for school, so he could only drool through the screen.

Xia Yining was afraid of getting fat, so she didn't eat much, and most of it went into Jiang Yan's stomach.

After taking a shower, Xia Yining handed her a printed copy: "This is the script of the variety show, you can read it first when you have time."

Jiang Yan had just finished eating the last potsticker, and there was still a faint taste of vinegar in his mouth.She flipped through the script and read it again: "You're only going to be a guest in two episodes and you still want to participate in the event?"

She thought it was the kind of spectator or sitting in the guest seat to participate in discussions and comments, but she didn't expect that she was really like a contestant on the ninth runway.

"I've already asked my second sister-in-law to negotiate with the program group, and I can only participate in 1-2 projects at most in each episode, and it won't work if there are too many."

Jiang Yan read through the list of alternatives. Fortunately, considering the identities and physical fitness of the guests, there were no strenuous sports, and most of them were related to family life.
