Zhou Tingyu thought that when Su He came to Shanghai, he had asked many times about the cold chain equipment.
Although the reason why Su He wanted this was not stated clearly, Zhou Tingyu also had some guesses.
It was previously speculated that it might be for long-distance transportation.
But there are two difficulties here. First, the truck.
Buying a car is not that easy these days.
Trucks are even more difficult, as most of them are only available in state-owned factories.
It is not so easy to buy it privately.
Second, energy.
Batteries are not easy to sell, and storing power is also a problem.
Cold chain equipment obviously transports things that are difficult to store and easily deteriorate.
For example, fresh food, such as fruits.
As for vegetables and so on, transporting them from Bishui City seems a bit exaggerated.
There are also rural areas nearby, with a lot of vegetables.
There are also many places in Jiangnan where you can grow vegetables.
Just transporting it is troublesome.
This is the basis for the existence of cold chain equipment.
But today, Zhou Tingyu thought of more.
For example, the air conditioning in this hotel.
But Wang Qin directly denied it with a smile: "It's not cold chain equipment. The boss went to inspect that equipment, and it may not be possible for the time being. At least for civilian use, there is still a lack of opportunity."
"Then this is?"
"It's actually very simple. The air-conditioned room is full of ice cubes?"
Wang Qin smiled and said an answer, but it was hard for Zhou Tingyu to believe it.
"Ice cubes? How is this possible? It's summer now. It's a hot day. I think it's thirty-six or seven degrees. And the sun is shining and the temperature continues. Where are you going to get ice? etc."
Zhou Tingyu said: "Don't you use a refrigerator to make ice?"
The refrigerator can indeed make ice. The temperature in the freezer is very low. If it is used to make ice, it is not impossible.
But that consumption.
Zhou Tingyu felt a toothache when he thought about the electricity bill.
Also, how many refrigerators does it take to produce this much ice?
The speed of making ice cubes in the refrigerator is not fast, and the area of Jiuding Restaurant is not small. It is very difficult to make enough ice cubes for Jiuding Restaurant and keep such a large area cool.
I'm afraid that even if I bring ten refrigerators over and open the refrigerator to cool down, it won't have this effect.
Zhou Tingyu thought that Wang Qin would not tell it. There was no reason for such a secret to be revealed even to a partner.
Anyway, if it were him, he definitely wouldn't say that.
But Wang Qin said generously: "The boss said that if anyone asks, just say it directly. This thing is actually the ancient method of making ice, which is to make ice with saltpeter."
"Saltpeter to make ice?"
Zhou Tingyu's family used to be a wealthy family.
However, when large households make ice, they dig ice cellars and store ice in them.
However, he vaguely seemed to have heard about saltpeter ice making somewhere.
Saltpeter itself is not a rare thing, and it is not difficult to buy it.
You can buy it in some Chinese medicine clinics.
This thing is also a medicinal material.
But ordinary people, no one would think of buying this thing.
"It is saltpeter that makes ice. In fact, this thing is easy to buy. You can buy it in Chinese medicine stores. It is a medicinal material in itself. And the raw material of saltpeter can be used repeatedly to make ice.
On such hot days, it is easier for water to evaporate and saltpeter to be precipitated again. However, saltpeter is a bit toxic, so be careful if you are making ice cubes that are to be put into your mouth.
Moreover, our ice cubes are made from boiled water and can be added directly to the water to drink as ice water. By the way, there is Bingzhen juice today. Do you want to have some? "
There are also some frozen foods, which are selling well today.
Wang Qin just recommended it, and Zhou Tingyu unconsciously bought some.
Anyway, you can pack it if you can’t finish it. Wang Qin also asked if it was too much.
But Zhou Tingyu waved his hand and said he could pack it back. Wang Qin also knew that Zhou Tingyu was not short of money, so he said no more.
After a while, a large table of dishes arrived, and Zhou Tingyu was also a little dumbfounded.
"This kid Su He has done a lot of research on emptying our pockets."
The driver just smiled after hearing this.
He doesn't comment on the bosses' matters.
Although Zhou Tingyu commented with a smile, who knows what he was thinking in his heart?
He also knew what happened to Mr. Luo before.
Besides, Zhou Tingyu didn't want to know what he was thinking, just eat some on the side and get some light.
Sure enough, Zhou Tingyu didn't need his answer.
"However, he also has a share in my courtyard. Can he also get some ice cubes?"
This is what he thought and asked.
When the food was almost ready, a waiter came to help pack it and take it away for him.
These are bamboo containers, which require an additional fee.
But those who can afford to eat so much don’t pay that much.
Zhou Tingyu said again: "This Su He's brain works very fast. Look, this packing fee can make an extra fortune. Moreover, this bamboo comes from his hometown, and it can earn a fortune for the people in his hometown." A fee. He is indeed a talented person in business.”
Zhou Tingyu has seen many people who can make money by themselves.
It is rare to make money by yourself and bring people from your hometown with you.
Rich people have made their own money. Now that they have money, what will they do next?
Naturally, it’s a matter of fame.
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune have always gone together.
However, fame comes before profit. Many people, when they reach old age, ask for a posthumous name.
Maybe many people don't care, but there are too many people who care.
The more successful people are, the more they require this.
Zhou Tingyu is naturally no exception.
Unfortunately, his business, the brokerage business, has nothing to do with his hometown.
As for Tingxiang?
You can hire some people from your hometown to do the work, but this little help is not enough to make you famous.
But Su He's kind is different. It is a sustainable development. There are many bamboos in the south. This kind of thing grows very fast, and the difficulty of processing is not high.
In this way, Su He can bring long-term benefits to his hometown.
Moreover, Su He's hometown doesn't have to just focus on Su He. He can also choose more clients and negotiate on his own.
After packing, the waiter asked: "Would you like to deliver it to your car?"
Zhou Tingyu nodded and came to Wang Qin again.
"At least he has shares in Tingxiang. Is this ice cube?"
Zhou Tingyu hasn't figured out how to cooperate.
But Tingxiang must have this thing, and he must do it quickly.
Jiuding Restaurant has mid-to-high-end food and beverages, and Tingxiang is positioned as high-end, so it is naturally indispensable.
Moreover, he took his clients to Tingxiang to discuss business, but he couldn't even compare to a restaurant. Is this ridiculous?
Wang Qin seemed to have known that Zhou Tingyu was going to ask this, and said the answer he had prepared long ago: "This, if Tingxiang wants to use it himself and needs to make it himself, it will cost one hundred yuan, and it will be paid by Tingxiang." , and then just send someone to learn. If you buy ice directly, a cube of ice costs two yuan, and if you need to transport it, you need to add an additional two cents per cube."
The average salary in the Magic City is also high, and there are a lot of expenses, so the price is a bit more expensive.
Zhou Tingyu suddenly started thinking: "Does this cost money?"
Wang Qin said with a smile: "Of course. If it's a public account, our boss will also have to pay a corresponding part of the money. There is still a production cost for this thing. If Tingxiang only uses it once or twice, he can come directly to buy it. . Even if it is natural wear and tear, I can just keep accounts. But Tingxiang needs to be used for a long time, and there is no way to keep the accounts in our store. As you know, our boss has very high requirements for accounts. "
It's true that Jiuding Restaurant has high salaries, but in contrast, the requirements for accounting are also high.
There are so many stores that even have a dedicated accounting department.
It's the same as the big state-owned factories.
But speaking of it, the profits of Jiuding Restaurant may not be less than those of state-owned operators.
Wang Qin said the solution but did not rush Zhou Tingyu.
Zhou Tingyu said: "I'll go back and think about it carefully before talking."
Su He promised not to dictate the management of Tingxiang, so Zhou Tingyu was responsible for the specific management.
Of course, every major decision made by Zhou Tingyu must be notified to Su He.
If it is something that is detrimental to Su He's rights and interests, Su He has the right to refute it.
Wang Qin was not surprised when Zhou Tingyu left.
If Tingxiang wants to use ice, it is definitely not a small amount. If they want to use it for free, Jiuding Restaurant will have to pay a lot of money out of thin air.
Not to mention that this is the boss's business, not hers. Even if it is hers, she can't make such a decision.
Well, if it was hers, she would refuse it outright.
In fact, Wang Qin sometimes didn't understand why Su He directly disclosed how it was made.
If only others could learn this method.
Well, after learning, not just anyone can do it.
The labor costs here are also not low.
However, spitting directly uses tap water, even well water, or river water to make it, so the cost is reduced.
However, there is no way to guarantee hygiene.
Therefore, this is definitely a matter that requires weighing the pros and cons before making a decision.
In Bishui City, Ye Chuanxiu sent Su Mei and Qian Rui into the examination room and waited outside.
Grandpa Six is also here, as are Ye Zhenming and Ye Zhenhan. As elders, how can they not come?
This time, there are many candidates in the village. If they can pass the exam, it will be a good thing for the village.
Ye Zhenming has always believed that only by studying can one have a future.
Why is Su He so good?
In addition to Su He's own intelligence, it was also because of his reading.
Didn’t you see that even the Academy of Sciences issued a notice asking Su He to study at the Academy of Sciences?
Ye Chuanxiu was fine waiting outside, but several elders were here, so she couldn't let them wait outside.
"It's quite hot today. Otherwise, let's go to Jiuding Restaurant to wait. There is an examination room nearby. It is said that there is still air conditioning today."
Ye Zhenming was a little strange: "Air-conditioning supply? What is that?"
Ye Chuanxiu was also half-aware, and Su He didn't elaborate. He just said that it was hot outside, so he went to Jiuding Restaurant to wait.
He knew that Ye Chuanxiu must be here to take the exam, but it was very hot to wait outside in such a bright sun, even in the shade.
Ye Zhenming glanced at Ye Zhenhan, and he was not sure what the situation was.
Ye Zhenming guessed: "Didn't he have a way to make ice before? Could it be this?"
Jiuding Restaurant used to go to southern Fujian to buy seafood, but now it is selling very well.
Moreover, Jiuding Restaurant has several cold storage warehouses in the city. People buy seafood here, and the air-conditioning inside is really cold.
I have to say that Ye Zhenming’s guess was correct.
They arrived at Jiuding Restaurant. As soon as they entered, they felt the cool air and the heat outside was swept away.
Ye Zhenhan sighed: "This kid is quite smart. If you do this, if it were me, I would also come here to eat."
In such a hot weather, it is too hot everywhere, and I have no appetite at all.
On the contrary, it is so refreshing here that when I sit down, I want to eat.
The boss's mother, grandfather and other elders arrived, and the store manager immediately brought snacks.
"We have grape juice today, iced. Do you need it?"
For some seasonal fruits, Jiuding Restaurant will launch seasonal juices, which taste quite good.
The yield of fruits without pesticides will indeed be less than that of later generations, but the taste will also be more natural.
Of course, it's not that sweet.
There are also fruit trees planted in Su He's farm, but they can only bear a small amount of fruit this year.
Some of these grapes are produced on the farm and are used to water the Qingdi Soup. They also bear fruit smoothly this year, and the taste is quite sweet.
Sitting here is very refreshing in itself, and Ye Chuanxiu feels that the heat in his heart has been eliminated a lot.
Ye Zhenhan took a sip of the juice that was served. He didn't ask for grape juice, but asked for watermelon juice.
This stuff tastes better and sweeter.
He didn't like sour ones so he ended up choosing this one.
Putting down the cup, Ye Zhenhan asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you these days? I see your mood is a little strange."
Ye Chuanxiu didn't want to say it at first, but in his heart, he was really feeling a little panicked.
After thinking about it, she finally lowered her voice and said, "I thought that after the college entrance examination is over, I will tell you about Su Rong."
Ye Zhenhan didn't think about what happened for a while. After he thought for a while, he finally remembered what was going on.
"What about Su Rong?"
He was silent for a while and then said: "I told you back then not to do this. How can the daughter of such a person be a good person?"
After a pause, Ye Zhenhan also knew that now was not the time to talk about this.
He thought for a while and said: "But you also have to think about the reactions of Su Mei and the others. The most important thing is Su He's thoughts. Have you ever thought about it? They didn't know anything before. But Su Rong still Su He has suffered so much for being pampered like that by you. But you told him that she was not his biological sister, but his cousin. What did you want him to think? "
Ye Chuanxiu also has such concerns, plus the news that her mother and sister came back from Yuzhang and brought back the news of the little sister.
They had also been worried about Ye Chuanlan for a long time.
Things in this family are happening one after another, and people really don’t know what to do.
"Think about it yourself."
