MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 649 lay the facts

   Chapter 649 Putting the facts

   Beihe, a small market near the edge of the county town.

  As the sun gradually rose, the number of people in the morning market decreased rapidly. Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei, when they saw the last customer put down their spoons and left, quickly cleaned up the fried dough sticks and tofu brain stalls.

  Take off the plastic bag over the bowl, throw it into the trash can, stack the bowls one by one, put them in the wooden box, go back and rinse with water before you can continue to use.

  The summer sun was hot and the temperature rose rapidly, and the couple quickly sweated.

   There is no time to rest, the morning market occupies part of the street. According to the regulations of the city administration, all stalls must be evacuated before 8:30.

  When I leave every day, I feel anxious.

  The things were packed and put in the drag buckets of the two curved beam motorcycles, and the couple rushed back.

   They live not far away, in a village near the county seat, a very ordinary farmhouse.

   When I got home, I couldn’t rest, so I had to unload the car to clean up.

  The day was getting hotter and hotter, and the sweat on Shi Hongmei's face dripped down. She removed the wooden box containing the bowl and small spoon, put it in front of the water tank, scooped up cold water and poured it into her mouth.

   Ordinary people who want to live, tired, hot, thirsty, how can there be so much attention, gulping down most of the scoops.

   Qi Yubao felt sorry for his wife: "Don't move it, do the dishes, I'll take care of the rest."

Shi Hongmei sat down with a horse, poured water into a large basin to wash the dishes, and said while washing the dishes, "Old Qi, it's not a solution for us to toss like this. Usually, it's okay to say that if you encounter a severe attack from above, it's like fighting a guerrilla. It's like the third grandson, hiding from this and that, and doesn't care enough."

  Qi Yubao took off two tofu brains and stabbed them, gasping for breath with his arms on his hips.

   "Huh..." After taking a deep breath, Qi Yubao said, "What do you think?"

  Shi Hongmei wiped the sweat from her face: "We've saved a lot of money, why don't we rent a store in the county?"

  Qi Yubao glanced at the low table and Maza: "The rent at the door is not cheap in a place with a lot of people, and it is not suitable for a secluded place. If the rent at the door is small, it is better to set up a stall, if it is big..."

   Having said that, Shi Hongmei is also hesitant. Ordinary people who ask for a living, especially those who make breakfast, earn really hard money.

  Although he has been doing business well in the past few years, he has saved tens of thousands of dollars, but all of them are made up by getting up early and greedy for the dark.

   To rent a better door, most of the money they have accumulated has to be invested. Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei are not so determined.

  The farmyard gradually became silent, only the sound of work remained.

   After the busy work, it was almost noon, the couple had eaten and hurried to sleep.

   In the afternoon, I had a lot of work to do, and the responsibility field was out, but the vegetables in the private plot should be used for potion, and Qi Yubao had to buy the goods.

   In the evening, when the children are out of school, the whole family can get together and really rest.

   A family of three, blowing a ceiling fan, sitting in the main room, ready to watch "Black Hole" on Taidongtai prime time.

  Before the broadcast of the TV series, it is a routine advertising time.

   The host of "Daily Diet" who seemed to be particularly lovable jumped out and simmered the fragrant yellow braised chicken in a casserole skillfully.

   "Taifeng Garden in Taidong, Chinese Braised Chicken!"

   The dishes in the advertisement look delicious.

   In addition to these, there are also introductions about franchise stores, which are a bit like the excavator advertisements that Taidongtai often broadcasts.

   "Taifengyuan Yellow Braised Chicken, looking forward to your joining!"

   Then there is the investment promotion call, and you can also go to the local Lu's Hot Pot, Lu's Mala Tang or Burger King for consultation!

Shi Hongmei knows that these three stores are located in the most prosperous commercial area of ​​the county. The business is very good. Among the people of Beihegan Catering, some news is widely circulated. It is said that this year, the average daily turnover of each store can reach five thousand.

   Compared with others, what they do can really only be called a hawker.

   Qi Yubao said at this time: "In the advertisement, the yellow braised chicken seems to belong to the same company as those three stores."

  Shi Hongmei also noticed: "It's called Lu's Catering. I've heard that this company is the leader of our Taidong Catering Industry."

   Hearing the advertisement of Lu's Catering Company and seeing the advertisement of Braised Chicken, Qi Yubao's mind became lively. During the day, he refuted his wife's lease of the store, which was prudent in small business, not conservative.

   After all, it is not easy to make two money, but it is quick to lose.

  Qi Yubao pondered: "You said that this yellow braised chicken is reliable or not. We are recruiting franchisees, why don't we join one?"

   This time, Shi Hongmei was more cautious: "The investment in opening such a store is not small. It seems that there is a franchise fee for joining, and it is said that there is still some cheating..."

  Qi Yubao doesn't worry about this: "The provincial TV station broadcasts an advertisement made by Liu Yiwei. The Lu's Catering Company is a large company in the province that does catering. Those three stores are in our county. How can people deceive us?"

   If nothing else, in terms of credibility, there is really no problem.

  It is not difficult to make such a determination. Even if I didn't ask about it, Shi Hongmei, who is also a catering company, has calculated a little, and roughly has a number. To open such a store, the investment will definitely be tens of thousands.

   "Can it be done?" Shi Hongmei said.

  Qi Yubao thought for a while: "If we close the stall tomorrow, let's go to the county store and ask, it's not far away."

  Some words are easy to say, but hard to do. Shi Hongmei hesitated for a while before saying, "Go and see."

  The next day, after packing up the stall and returning home, the two of them set free a curved beam motorcycle, changed their clothes specially, and rushed to the three stores on the commercial street of the county town.

   The three stores of Lu's Catering were originally close to each other, so I found a random one and went in. There was a promotional display stand for Taifeng Garden's Braised Chicken. Liu Yiwei, who was holding the Braised Chicken, looked particularly lovable.

  Qi Yubao just asked a waiter casually, and got a lot of detailed information, including various introductions and prospects of yellow braised chicken, as well as the current operation of some stores.

   These materials make people look at it with enthusiasm.

After the manager of the store got the news, he came forward to receive them. After learning about their basic situation, he clearly informed that if he was interested in Taifengyuan Yellow Braised Chicken, he could organize a vehicle and send them to the factory to visit and learn more about the situation. , without incurring any costs during the period.

The three largest fast food restaurants in Beihe are located here, with the guarantee of Lu's Catering Company. Taifeng Garden is also a time-honored brand they have heard of, and they don't have to pay any fees. The couple, Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei, finally decided to go to Taifeng Garden in Quannan University Town. Take a look at the Braised Chicken Headquarters.

  What if it really is an opportunity?

  In the introduction of materials, Lu's Catering Company started out as a street stall. From 1999 to the present, it has only been a few years, and it has achieved such a huge scale.

   The store manager’s words here are eloquent, after all, it’s not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

   Four days later, Qi Yubao specially found a leader to come down to inspect the day when it was notified that no stalls would be set up, and Shi Hongmei and Shi Hongmei took a car rented by Lu's restaurant and went to Quannan University Town.

   The distance between the two sides is a bit far, and it took more than an hour to arrive at the place.

   After getting off the car, the couple saw a huge park, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, complete with factories and office buildings.

   There is a special receptionist here, who will take them to visit the office building, then the storage center, and the delivery fleet.

   Some of these experiences left a deep impression on Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei.

   For example, in aseptic operation, special work clothes must be replaced when entering and leaving the warehouse, and air shower disinfection is also required.

   For example, standardized management and strict self-inspection ensure food safety and hygiene.

   If you really want to join, the cooperating store owner does not have to worry about the problem of supply.

  Taifengyuan Yellow Braised Chicken Co., Ltd. is the biggest impression of Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei. This is a company with strict and standardized management.

   Then, another special car took them to visit the headquarters building of Lu's Catering Group.

   Seeing a building with a total height of 29 floors, ordinary people would believe that this company has a strong strength as a guarantee.

   Near noon, they went to the nearby Taifengyuan Yellow Braised Chicken Shop. The lunch they had in the shop was Braised Chicken Rice, which tasted really good.

  The manager of the store also communicated with them, and also visited the kitchen to make the dishes. The dishes are simple and cheap to make, and the semi-finished products are made into dishes on the table, which is not much more difficult than making a tofu brain at the breakfast stall.

   In other words, it will be very fast to get started, so you don’t have to worry about doing it well.

The people from   Taifengyuan did not rush to take them away, but stayed in the store for a while.

  Qi Yubao and Shi Hongmei saw the flow of people coming and going, and there were a lot of people who came to eat. By twelve o'clock, there were people sitting at every table in the store, and some people who didn't have seats began to eat together.

  The little people who work hard in the market have their own wisdom for survival. Qi Yubao made an excuse, deliberately talked to people, and asked about the situation on the diners' side.

   After reading a lot and asking a lot, according to Qi Yubao’s judgment, these are all true.

   After one o'clock, they went back with the people.

  Shi Hongmei whispered to Qi Yubao: "I read it, and on average, each table is turned over two or three times."

  Qi Yubao nodded lightly: "Business is very good."

  Shi Hongmei added: "Have you seen it? There is also a door-to-door meal delivery service here. There is a person who specially delivers meals to the nearby commercial center. It seems like 70 or 80 servings were delivered in more than an hour."

"The food tastes good, and the price is not too expensive." Although Qi Yubao set up a street stall, he was also used to catering: "The consumption of Beihe County is not as good as that of a university town. In places with many schools or factories, such a store is opened to buy and sell. It should be fine."

   Back at the Taifengyuan Yellow Braised Chicken Headquarters, the couple were taken to a reception room and allowed them to rest for a while at noon.

   is actually giving them a private space to digest what they saw and heard in the morning.

   The Taifengyuan employee who has been with the couple is called Xing Yuanpeng. He was transferred from Lu's Catering. Because he is very quick-tempered, he is currently one of the deputy directors of the investment promotion department.

   Present the facts first, then reason.

  Xing Yuanpeng did not rest, and was ready to reason in the afternoon. After contacting him in the morning, he learned a lot about the couple who came over from Beihe.
