"The child has arrived at the academy. Lao Yuyan needs to take more care of him." Shen Shuangshuang enthusiastically took Su Yuyan's hand.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. That kid Ling'er is a troublemaker, so I'll help you keep an eye on it."
While the two were chatting, Wu Xia brought over the prepared maocai.
A clerk followed behind him, bringing bowls, chopsticks and rice.
"Don't be stunned, try the maocai in my store. I hope you like it." Shen Shuangshuang said to the two of them with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Su Yuyan's maid Lu Ya.
"Lu Ya, you can also go to the next table and sit down with Wu Xia and the others to eat."
Lu Ya was very moved, but did not move. Instead, she looked at Su Yuyan.
It wasn't until she saw Su Yuyan nodding towards her that she smiled and went to the next table.
When Shen Shuangshuang saw this, he gave Su Yuyan an expression of appreciation.
He said with his eyes: This maid is good for you this time.
Su Yuyan also returned Shen Shuangshuang's look.
He replied with his eyes: Thank you for your appreciation!
Cheng Lei didn't care about this.
After the food was served, he could smell the delicious smell and see how good the food was. He couldn't help it.
He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables.
When the food came into his mouth, Cheng Lei's eyes lit up.
Then I didn’t want to say anything anymore and started eating happily by myself.
Delicious, so delicious!
It is similar to the spiciness in fermented bean curd, but not exactly the same. It is a different style of spiciness.
He likes both of these two spicy flavors!
The more he ate, the more Cheng Lei found that he liked it more.
Wow, how can there be such delicious food in this world? too delicious!
Su Yuyan saw that Cheng Lei's appearance was a bit exaggerated, and she was a little disgusted at first.
But when she tasted the maocai, her eyes lit up.
Then, under the influence of Cheng Lei's fast eating, he unconsciously speeded up his eating.
When Shen Shuangshuang saw that the two of them were satisfied with the maocai, they started eating happily.
She also likes to eat maocai.
At the end of the 21st century, I often went to restaurants to eat. When I have free time, I still do it myself.
Now, she has opened a maocai shop.
If you want to eat it in the future, you can just come to the store directly.
The large portion of fresh food prepared by Wu Xia was actually eaten by Cheng Lei, a big eater, who fought hard.
Su Yuyan and Shen Shuangshuang were also very full.
Especially Su Yuyan, she had lunch at noon.
When I sit down and eat, I just want to taste it.
Unexpectedly, the maocai tasted so good, so she ate a lot of it and her stomach felt a little full.
Cheng Lei was even more supportive.
He also had lunch at noon, but he didn't eat much because he was thinking about eating Maocai in the afternoon.
Now, he only regrets why he had lunch at noon.
Otherwise, he must ask Mrs. Shen to make some fresh vegetables for him.
This maocai is simply amazing!
"Ms. Shen——" Cheng Lei gave Shen Shuangshuang a thumbs up. I wanted to say something more, but I felt sick in my throat and choked.
"Cough cough cough -" Cheng Lei coughed.
The spicy taste irritated his throat, causing him to burst into tears and feel extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Shen Shuangshuang quickly took the teapot from the table and poured Cheng Lei a cup of tea.
"Mr. Cheng, take a sip of tea and take your time." He handed it to Cheng Lei and said.
Su Yuyan also looked worried.
Cheng Lei took the tea and quickly poured it into his mouth.
The tea moistened his throat and Cheng Lei felt more comfortable.
But as soon as the tea was over, the spiciness came back.
Cheng Lei quickly continued to pour tea.
After several times in a row, the situation finally improved.
"Huh, it's too spicy." After he recovered, Cheng Lei raised his head and looked at Shen Shuangshuang and Su Yuyan with tears in his eyes.
The two women looked at each other.
Then, he made a "puff" sound and smiled unkindly.
Cheng Lei's eyes were sad.
"Who told you to eat so much?" Su Yuyan said to Cheng Lei, looking a bit naive.
Cheng Lei was stunned for a moment.
Su Yuyan realized something was wrong, so she quickly put away her smile and looked away.
Cheng Lei also quickly recovered.
"No, the maocai in Mrs. Shen's shop is delicious!" she said.
After a pause, Cheng Lei suddenly had some ideas.
"This maocai is so delicious, it would be just as good if it were opened elsewhere."
"Ms. Shen, are you interested in opening a branch?" Cheng Lei asked Shen Shuangshuang.
"How about letting me buy some stocks?"
When Su Yuyan heard this, she quickly had an idea in her mind.
"I - count me in!" followed.
While talking, he glanced at Cheng Lei.
A smile flashed in Cheng Lei's eyes.
"Shangyang Town is so big, it doesn't hurt to open a few more branches."
Shen Shuangshuang was a little moved.
As soon as my mind turned around, I had an idea.
"Forget it if you just buy a share. However, I do have some ideas. Do you want to listen to them?"
"Say it!" Cheng Lei said immediately.
Su Yuyan also looked at Shen Shuangshuang curiously.
"You two pay me the franchise fee, and I will provide you with technology and sell you soup base, ingredients and seasonings." Shen Shuangshuang said.
The two of them looked at each other, but neither answered.
Shen Shuangshuang continued: "You have all seen that my store has been opened."
"Given time, it will definitely become a word-of-mouth reputation."
"When the time comes, when you open a store, you can directly display the signboard of Shenji Maocai branch. Once you open the store, you will be able to attract customers."
Cheng Lei and Su Yuyan looked at each other again, with "This is meaningless" written in their eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Shuangshuang continued again.
"The technology in my store is mature. When you open a store, you can directly copy the layout, dishes, and operation methods of my store."
"At that time, I will arrange for people to deliver soup base, vegetables, and seasonings directly from the workshop to you."
"You saw Wu Xia making Maocai just now. The operation was very simple."
"The soul of Maocai lies in the soup base and seasonings."
Cheng Lei's eyes fluctuated.
"Can you sell me the formula? I'll pay more." He asked.
Su Yuyan also looked at Shen Shuangshuang. Obviously one meaning.
Shen Shuangshuang put away the smile on his face.
"No."
"With the formula in hand, Shen Ji is unique and can continue to develop."
"If the formula is sold, it will be difficult for Shen Ji to grow bigger."
Cheng Lei's heart moved, and he admired Shen Shuangshuang's ambition.
"How much does Madam Shen charge for the franchise fee?" She soon stopped worrying about the formula and asked Shen Shuangshuang.
If Mrs. Shen was just an ordinary peasant girl with no power, he might have used some means.
But the Shen family is obviously not simple, and Mrs. Shen herself——
Thinking of his own experience of being beaten, Cheng Lei tightened his skin.
Su Yuyan also looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
Obviously very interested in joining.
Shen Shuangshuang felt happy and began to think about it.
What is the appropriate asking price?
If it's too high, you're afraid of scaring people away; if it's too low, you're afraid of suffering a loss.
After a while, with Cheng Lei's eyes becoming anxious, Shen Shuangshuang finally spoke.
"Just two hundred taels."
"You choose the store yourself. If you choose it well, I will agree. I will ensure that there is only one Maocai shop in an area."
"As for the signboard, you have to use the four characters Shen Ji Maocai and mark it as a branch."
"The layout of the store must be similar to this store. The dishes and pricing must also be consistent."
