my home is in the northeast

68. On the eve of Chinese New Year

With the closure of the shop on the corner, the business of the old Zhangjia Sauce Meat shop is booming again. In addition, many new varieties have been introduced, such as bacon, smoked chicken, and special stewed meat. Although the price is high, the turnover Came back soon with even higher sales than previous ones.Zhang Yuping also swept away her sorrow, and was beaming every day.

Until the New Year's Eve, there were no more problems in Sauce Roufang.After Zhang Yuhe bought two sets of stoves for his home, he looked more professional and tidy.

Not to mention the bacon, but the deep pot for the meat sauce is nearly one meter deep, and it can sauce about 150 kilograms of meat at a time, heating evenly, and cooking faster.

After only two days of using it, Zhang Changgui couldn't help shouting that it was easy to use. Not only did he not need to get up too early, but he also didn't need to watch it all the time, saving a lot of energy.What's more, those individual tourists who come to see these equipments also feel that they are tall, clean and hygienic.

Now as long as the ingredients are prepared, it will definitely be cooked in two hours. Zhang Changgui, who used to get up at five or six o'clock every day, can still have time after eating at seven o'clock no matter how busy he is.

The sales of Sauce Meat Shop are also rising steadily. Zhao Yihu has already renovated the store and opened the branch to take advantage of the Chinese New Year.

At the same time, the fast food distribution center and the instant noodle factory both earned good income. Taking advantage of the accelerated production years ago, Zhang Yuwei also worked overtime for several days to calculate wages and bonuses for the employees.

This is the first time they have paid their wages since they opened their business, and it was before the Chinese New Year. Zhang Yuwei was afraid of making a mistake in the calculation, so she calculated it carefully over and over again.

Speaking of which, Lao Li is more experienced. He doesn't have many employees, and most of them are old employees. The current work is not complicated, but the salary has increased by half compared to before. Everyone is very satisfied.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here!" Old Li respected Zhang Yuhe even more now.Not only have skills and connections, but also have good skills.

When their energy-saving heaters began to sell, they were favored by the boss of the electrical appliance store, and Zhao Yihu was behind the push.However, the heating in the northeast is very warm, and few people in the city buy it.

But it is different for rural areas.Because the price during the promotion period is only about [-] yuan, and it does not consume electricity, many people buy one for their parents or relatives and friends living in rural areas.Once spread ten to ten and hundreds of times, after half a month, the product is already in short supply.

Lao Li is the main person in charge of the company. Apart from Zhang Yuhe, he is the biggest one. When he was hired back, it was agreed that the company would have his year-end dividends. Lao Li has long been looking forward to this day.

"Well. Mr. Li hastened to calculate the salary and bonus in the past few days and distribute them to everyone." Zhang Yuhe was in a good mood.The three small companies earned him nearly a million dollars this month.

This is because the scale of the three companies is not large, especially the heater factory, which has only one production line, which is really insufficient in production capacity.In the past month, everyone has worked overtime for production, but only tens of thousands of units have been produced.

Moreover, the three companies have just started business, and the heaters are also on sale during the promotion period. When they become famous, the price will rise to around [-].Sales will then double.

"Okay Mr. Zhang, I will ask Xiao Wu to prepare the accounts for you today." Mr. Li nodded. He still has a complete staff, including accountants and cashiers. Zhang Yuhe has also seen them, and they are all in their fifties. My aunts are nice and honest. "Mr. Zhao called and asked you to go to his house for dinner, and said that the phone that called you was turned off."

"Oh?" Zhang Yuhe glanced at the phone, wondering when it was turned off. "Okay, then I'm leaving."

Zhang Yuhe took his landline and called Zhao Yihu and set off.Zhao Yihu went to his house to give gifts two days ago, even if Zhao Yihu didn't call him today, he would still come over.

Zhao Yihu received a call from Zhang Yuhe and ordered someone to prepare a large table of dishes.

He has also made a lot of money in the past few months.Not to mention the meat sauce workshop, he also tasted the sweetness of the heater.

"Big brother."

"Brother is here. Zhang Man, Yuhe is here." Zhao Yihu hurriedly yelled upstairs, he dared not tell his wife, otherwise he would be beaten up.

"Sister-in-law is at home." Zhang Yuhe's face was unnatural for a moment.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the children are here today, she won't fight." Zhao Yihu winked at Zhang Yuhe.

Zhang Yuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. -

Although Zhang Man looks like a woman, she is a real martial idiot. Every time I see him, I have to compete with him.Although Zhang Yuhe also learned a lot from the other party, such as some ancient martial arts, but basically every time he was beaten.

And knowing that Zhang Man can't really hurt him, he always closes the body protector so as not to waste the power inside.

So now Zhang Yuhe feels a headache when he hears Zhang Man's name.

The nanny brought two cups of tea, and before Zhang Yuhe took a sip of the tea, Zhang Man came down with the child.

"Brother is here." Zhang Man pulled the two children, "Yuhe, these are my two children. The older one is Zhao Zhixing and the younger one is Zhao Mingxing. Hurry up and call me uncle."

There are two children in the Zhao family, a boy and a girl. The older one is a boy of eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one is a girl, about six or seven years old.

The boy was quite honest, and he called out respectfully, "Hello, Uncle."

Instead, the little girl looked at Zhang Yuhe, "What's your uncle's last name?"

"My surname is Zhang." Zhang Yuhe smiled.Knowing that there are two children in Zhao Yihu's family, Zhang Yuhe specially brought a red envelope with him, and at this time he took it out and gave it to the two children.

"Thank you, uncle. But uncle and mother have the same surname. Why are they called uncle? Shouldn't they be called uncle?" The little girl looked up at Zhang Man.

Zhang Man's eyes widened, and he burst out laughing, "I just said something was wrong. Both Yuhe and I have the surname Zhang. Why did he call me sister-in-law instead of elder sister? Big star, little star , call uncle!"

Zhao Yihu hesitated to speak, Zhang Man withered the hand he raised to stop him.

Zhang Yuhe looked helpless.

"Brother, call me brother-in-law Zhao from now on." Zhang Man sat down next to Zhang Yuhe, "What do you think of my two children?"

"Not bad." Zhang Yuhe nodded.The little girl is naturally very good and cute, but the son of the Zhao family stands there at a young age, his foot is very stable, his waist is straight, and he has some kung fu faintly.It is estimated that he has practiced martial arts with Zhang Man since he was a child.

"Yuhe, I invite you to come here today. We get together before the Chinese New Year, and we want to discuss something with you." Zhao Yihu let the two children go to play by themselves, and pulled Zhang Yuhe to start talking about business, "There is nothing here in the sauce shop. It’s a big deal, the new store is in good condition, and your eldest sister is doing a good job of managing it, which saves me a lot of trouble, so let her be the master. The main problem is the energy-saving heater.”

"is there a problem?"

"The output is still too low. Although it has only been on sale for a month, it has been out of stock several times. Yuhe, can you add a few sets of equipment?"

"I also know about this problem. Let me ask my friend to help me see if I can add two more production lines." Zhang Yuhe nodded.

The current production capacity is indeed too low. The cost of this heater is not high, and the profit is surprisingly high. Now that the supply is in short supply, Zhang Yuhe also plans to order a few more production lines with Bill.

"That's good."

"Also tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law that I will leave after the new year."

Zhang Man was about to correct Zhang Yuhe's address, but was stunned again. The couple looked at each other and said in unison, "Why are you going?"

"Go back to the capital and continue to go to school. Several companies here will have to trouble my elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of me."

"School?" Zhao Yihu frowned, "We also have a local school, why did we go so far away?"

"Going to school is a good thing." Zhang Man nodded, "You don't have to worry at home, we are a couple. But it's really far away, why do you suddenly want to go to school?"

"Isn't this my parents' wish?" Zhang Yuhe didn't explain too much. He came here today mainly to give some New Year gifts, and to bid farewell to Zhao Yihu and his wife by the way. "Okay, when are you leaving? Our whole family will see you off."

"Thank you, brother and sister."

The New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and the day is getting colder and colder, and there is a heavy snowfall.

In the past few days, the members of the Zhang family have been busy.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and there will be a lot of people buying sauced meat. There is no change in Zhao Yihu’s side, but the number of sauced meat shops will increase, and more people will be left at home. People from neighboring villages in the neighborhood will definitely come here. bought.

Mr. He and Mr. Liu have been very busy these days. They have killed several pigs in a row, but this is not enough for Zhang's family.

He Tian brought over a packed pig, "Yu Baoer, Yu Baoer, come out and help me."

"Here we come!" Zhang Yuhe put on some clothes and rushed out.It was too hot in the Sauce Meat Workshop to wear thick clothes.

"Yu Bao'er, wash and cut it quickly, our pot should be ready." Zhang Changgui yelled in the room.

"Okay!" Zhang Yuhe's current knife skills were trained by his father.In the past, at most, shredded and sliced ​​meat was not bad, but now the skinned and deboned meat is also an expert.

The eldest daughter of the Sun family who worked outside also came back. Knowing that the whole family had an income with the help of the Zhang family next door, she washed her hands and came to help with her mother and younger sister.

Among other things, those who choose and wash vegetables can do it.The Sun family sisters have good eyesight, and the Zhang family sisters are not at home, so the two of them help to shave off the remaining pig hair on the skin with tweezers.

Sun Cuifang and Aunt Sun lamented that young people still have good eyesight.

Zhang Yuhe cut the pork into pieces and sent them to Zhang Changgui's house. Those pork ribs were also stored in a large pot weighing more than a hundred catties, just enough to make a whole pot.

After delivering the pork, He Tian went back and came over in a short time.This time, all the pigs were sent to the water. The Zhang family didn’t want the pork heart and lungs. The He family father and son kept it for themselves. The remaining pork, pig intestines, and pig livers were all cleaned up and sent over. .

"Yu Bao'er, I've tidied up all these things, just run through the clean water again. By the way, save some sauce for my house when it's ready."

"Don't worry, I'll send it to you when it's ready."

"Hey, let's go, I'll find you for a drink tomorrow."

All kinds of scents gathered in the yard, everyone was busy, but the corners of their mouths were all grinning.

Zhang Yuhe took the time to try to write Spring Festival couplets, but found that his words were good enough to write a notice, writing Spring Festival couplets?Still don't show your eyes.Hurry up with a bagful of soy sauce chicken and so on, and ask Mr. Zheng in the village to write a few pairs.
