Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Brother Yuanshan, this is the box lunch business."
box lunch? Qiao Yuanshan has never heard of this word. What kind of lunch is it? Qiao Yuanshan's confused look coupled with his big beard makes him look a little cute.
Sheng Guoer looked at Qiao Yuanshan's puzzled expression, like Wu Song watching an opera, and said, "This lunch box is when my mother and I build a shed outside and cook all kinds of meals. As long as it's for the business travelers passing by, You can buy food from me, and you can eat whatever you like. You can choose by yourself, and the prices are different."
Qiao Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said: "This is a good idea. Our place leads to the official road, so there are many merchants coming and going."
Sheng Guoer sat on the chair confidently and said: "Also, those soldiers can also come over and buy food, so they don't have to cook it themselves. If they are willing, we can cooperate for a long time. I will provide them with food." .”
Qiao Yuanshan was delighted when he heard this: "Didn't you make money from both the merchants and the government?"
Sheng Guoer said: "That's right. If the government seizes your food money, won't you get all your food money back?"
When Qiao Yuanshan heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Okay, if I can make the brothers make money, I will do it!"
Sheng Guoer said: "But we must be careful. If the government knows that we are secretly using their materials to make money, that would be a sin!"
Qiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "Girl Guo'er doesn't have to worry about this. I'm the one doing all the purchasing. As long as I don't tell, no one else will know."
Sheng Guoer stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao won't say it, but your kindness will be known sooner or later. People's words are terrible, and we have to guard against it."
Qiao Yuanshan saw that Sheng Guoer was so confident and must have thought of a perfect plan, so he asked: "Stop beating around the bush and just say whatever you have to say!"
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that this elder brother was really a straight man, so she said, "Use the government's money to make money. We just need to return some profits to the government."
Then, Sheng Guoer told her plan. Sheng Guoer knew that this transaction was dangerous, because whether in the feudal era or in modern society, using other people's money for personal gain was a shameful act, so Sheng Guoer The son then thought of a way to take it from the government and use it in the government.
Sheng Guoer planned to use the first money he earned to repair military camps and improve mountain roads.
When he heard that Sheng Guoer wanted to use money to repair the military camp and improve the mountain roads, Qiao Yuanshan said, "Then you are trying to draw water with a bamboo basket but in vain?"
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and said, "Just wait and see the good show!"
Qiao Yuanshan saw the confidence and calmness in Sheng Guoer's eyes, so he said, "It's better to do it than to say it, Miss Guoer, let's start tomorrow!"
Sheng Guoer asked: "Do you trust me so much?"
Qiao Yuanshan patted his chest and said, "I know you are a good girl from the fact that you take good care of our workers. I have always been straightforward and do what I say! Even if something goes wrong, the worst is to kill my head!"
Sheng Guoer said gratefully: "Apart from my mother, you are the first stranger who can trust me so simply."
Qiao Yuanshan laughed and said, "Miss Guo'er, we are friends now, not strangers!"
Sheng Guoer also patted her chest and said, "Okay, don't worry, I spend money to make more money!"
Qiao Yuanshan nodded and said: "I leave everything to you, then I want to see how you make money by spending money!"
The two smiled at each other and made the plan.
Sheng Guoer returned to the kitchen and said, "Mom, ask Zhou Rui to send ten workers over tomorrow to bring our sauce. I have a new plan."
Shen asked: "What plans do you have?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mom, I first came here for the iron ore, but I think it would be too selfish if I was just doing it for myself."
Then Sheng Guoer pointed to the miners who were working and said: "With others, there is a lingering fragrance in your hands. Only by helping each other can we go a long way. So I plan to help them improve the environment first, and we will also make some money by the way. Finally Everyone helped each other to make some iron tools, and then completed the improvement of farm tools such as weeders."
Sheng Guoer smiled and hugged Mrs. Shen and said, "Mom, actually I have these thoughts because of your 'let nature take its course' teaching me."
Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Little girl, I know how to coax your mother, but if you can think of helping others first, this kind-hearted mother only needs 10,000 supports!"
Afterwards, the two mothers held hands and laughed together.
The moon was bright and the stars were shining all night, and everyone slept soundly.
The next morning, the rooster crowed, and the red sun burst out from the mountains, dyeing the valley water stream orange.
Mrs. Shen did not wake up the sleeping Sheng Guoer, but got up and made breakfast alone.
Ji Long, the young miner who helped Shen and Guoer carry ginger soup yesterday, also came to help. Shen asked with a smile: "Why do you get up so early!"
Ji Long's bronze face showed a sense of honesty: "I think, I want to help Sister Guo'er."
When he said this, Ji Long's dark eyes kept darting around, as if he was looking for someone.
Mrs. Shen glanced at Ji Long, smiled and said, "Sister Guoer hasn't gotten up yet!"
Ji Long went to move the big pot with a slight disappointment, but at this moment, Sheng Guoer stretched out and walked over.
At this moment, Sheng Guoer looked lazy.
Looking at Sheng Guoer's pretty appearance, Ji Long scratched his head, blushed, and lowered his head to light the fire.
Sheng Guoer passed by Ji Long and went to scoop up water to wash her face. When the edge of her skirt brushed against Ji Long's cheek, the young man felt as if he had been electrocuted.
"Oh my baby, why did you burn the grain bag as firewood!" When Shen saw Ji Long throwing the grain bag into the fire in the stove in a daze, she hurried forward to grab the bag and said angrily: "You'd better not be a helper here, it's Lao Shizi's job."
Ji Long stood up in shame. He felt ashamed in front of Sister Guoer.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Sheng Guoer's gentle voice slipped through Ji Long's heart, and he hesitated and said, "My name is Ji Long."
After speaking, Ji Long hurriedly ran out. He looked back from time to time, and then gradually ran away.
Sheng Guoer shook her head, turned around and said to Mrs. Shen, "Mom, why didn't you call me today?"
Shen said while busy, "Don't you want you to sleep a little longer?"
Sheng Guoer took the dough naturally and said, "Can you do it alone?"
Mrs. Shen smiled proudly and said, "Don't underestimate your mother. I can still handle the food for the 100 people."
Indeed, Shen's talent in making big pot rice puts even Sheng Guoer to shame. At that time, she was cooking big pot rice for the people in the workshop, and Shen didn't even complain that she was tired for many days.
Sheng Guoer looked at Shen who was always busy, and felt in her heart that Shen was only in her thirties at most. If placed in modern times, she would be in her prime years. Moreover, Shen was also very pretty and looked like a mature woman. Yunzhi, so in Sheng Guoer's opinion, her mother is still young.
"You kid, why are you staring at me? Hurry up and get to work!" Seeing Sheng Guoer staring at her, Shen stopped what she was doing and said angrily, "You really plan to exhaust your mother to death!"
Sheng Guoer hurriedly started to live and said, "Where is it?"
The two of them worked hard for a while, and Ji Long came over again. This time he worked very diligently, as if he was acting in front of Sheng Guoer, which saved Sheng Guoer a lot of things.
The big pot of rice is ready. The fragrant steamed multi-grain rolls and steaming cabbage soup drive away the workers' fatigue. The hot and slurping sound of eating keeps ringing inside and outside the kitchen, like a rhythmic folk tune. .
The workers were sweating profusely from eating and were wiping their sweat away. They took a bite of a juicy and soft multi-grain flower roll, and mixed it with the spicy and fragrant cabbage soup. Their stomachs were instantly warm when they ate it. The freshness of the cabbage soup mixed with the softness of the flower roll was like a taste bud opening on the tip of the tongue. The flowers are the same.
Those who know how to eat will break open the flower rolls and put them into the soup, just like eating steamed buns. The flower rolls are dipped in thick, oily soup, reflecting little bits of light in the sun, and they are steaming. As soon as the Hanamaki, which is full of soup, enters your mouth, the salty flavor goes straight into your belly, and the spiciness makes you feel instantly comfortable.
This is Sheng Guoer's exclusive secret recipe. Spices are added to the cabbage soup, which makes it so delicious.
The workers were full of praise, and Sheng Guoer also smiled like a flower.
After eating, Qiao Yuanshan took the workers up the mountain, while Sheng Guoer and her mother went down the mountain to Ping'an Township, where they asked Zhou Rui to mobilize manpower and some ingredients and sauces to start preparing a lunch buffet.
In the shop, when Zhou Rui heard Sheng Guoer's plan, she was first surprised, then confused, and finally reconciled with herself. She didn't need to understand Sheng Guoer's plan or idea, anyway, Zhou Rui It seems that Sheng Guoer's ideas have always been novel, so curiosity and obedience have become a habit of Zhou Rui.
Therefore, Zhou Rui decided to personally lead the team and follow Sheng Guoer to make the so-called "lunch buffet".
Zhou Rui asked Qiu Xue to take care of her, and Sheng Guoer praised Zhou Rui on the way that she had indeed grown a lot and that the management talent she picked was really a capable person.
Because when Sheng Guoer went there, she saw that Qiu Xue was just like a little pepper. She was very good at commanding the workers, and her temper was so irritating that she would not let Xiao Lajiao subdue some workers who were dissatisfied with her.
To be honest, at first, Sheng Guoer really planned to let Zhou Rui follow her to open up here, but she was always worried that there was no one capable to help take care of her shop. This time, the appearance of Qiu Xue, a smart little chubby girl, solved the problem of hiring people. The problem.
So Sheng Guoer selected ten capable male and female workers and asked Zhou Rui to lead the team. According to his instructions, they followed him up the mountain with five large pots and sauces.
When they arrived at the mountain, Zhou Rui quickly ordered the workers to prepare the ingredients, while Sheng Guoer said, "Don't rush to prepare the ingredients yet. You guys can set up a show for me first and pull the flag!"
The workers were stunned. Sheng Guoer gestured and said: "The male workers built me a wooden frame fifteen meters long and ten meters wide, and then made me ten rectangular wooden troughs, three long A large wooden barrel of 2 meters and three meters wide. The female workers wash and select vegetables, cut meat, and stew rice! Remember, follow the recipes I gave you. Each person cooks two dishes, a total of ten dishes. The quantity should be large. Add enough spices! After it’s done, make a pot of egg drop soup!”
The workers did not dare to neglect and started working quickly. It took half a day to have all the wood products and the dishes ready.
"Pour the dishes into a wooden trough. Remember, the vegetable and meat dishes should be put into the wooden trough separately. Then pour the rice into the wooden barrel!" Sheng Guoer commanded with a smile, "Finally, write me a big The signboard says that the lunch box is self-service, 30 cents per person, and the rice is free!"
Free rice? The workers were a little surprised. Wasn't this a compensation? You know, rice is quite expensive. These vegetables, meat and sauces can be earned back for thirty cents, but won't they lose the rice?
Sheng Guoer thought that the rice was from the government, and he did not buy it himself. These vegetables were also from the government, and he was the pure profit! So he smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I have my own sense of discretion."
Then, Sheng Guoer told Zhou Rui: "No matter how much the first money you make today is, you have to hand it directly to the military camp. Just say that we are donating to the military camp!"
Zhou Rui asked strangely: "Sister Guo'er, why did you do this?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "I have my own opinion!"
Then, Sheng Guoer led his team out of the mining area in a mighty manner. At the gate of the mining area, under the astonished eyes of the soldiers guarding him, he erected a big flag and set up a Shengjia box lunch buffet stall!
