While everyone was busy, several members of the Li family also came to the workshop. After some greetings, Song Nanzhi took Dong Biyu and Guo Minying to put on aprons, wrap up their hair, and went into the kitchen to help make today's dishes. Meals. The same goes for the three Li Changfeng brothers. Each of them also wore an apron and their hair was tightly wrapped. After everything was dressed, they followed Li Youcai and the others to chop meat. Li Genshun did not go into the workshop to work, but said this with Mo Tingyu.
When it was past half hour, people began to arrive in the village one after another. The women who came were greeted by Yu Silian and Song Nanzhi who had put down their work and went out, while the men were greeted by Mo Tingyu and Han Shuxian.
Village chief Li Youdi also came to the workshop early. Han Shuxian called Li Youdi to sit down, "Brother Li, please sit down."
After Li Youdi sat down, he looked at the spacious room in front of him, "I didn't expect that our village could build a workshop. Brother, you are a capable and promising person."
Han Shuxian replied humbly: "Thanks to Brother Li for your help. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how to repair this house. Brother Li also helped build this place. It's hard work for Brother Li to run up and down. Today You may want to drink a few more glasses to be happy."
The workshop is built in a village, so it naturally has to deal with the people in the village. This one is the village chief. They are all in the same village, and he is the biggest in the village. He is in charge of everything.
Although the workshop could be built without him, in order to save worry and trouble, and to gain popularity, it would be smoother to open the workshop in the future, so Han Shuxian specially prepared a gift before building the workshop and visited Li Youdi's house.
After a while of greeting each other, they explained their purpose of coming and said that they wanted to build a workshop in the village. They also talked about some of the benefits that the workshop could bring to the village. They also promised that when the workshop makes money next year, they would build a school for the village. Let the children in the village go to school.
With such benefits, Li Youdi only hoped that he would start repairing it quickly, and immediately asked him to help him with the land. After both of them were happy, Han Shuxian said that he planned to invite people from the village to help with the workshop. Each person who came would be paid thirty cash per day. In line with the principle of trusting Li Youdi, he also asked him to help recommend a few people. It gave Li Youde more face and promised that he would find someone well.
When the workshop was being repaired, Yu Silai came to find them again. Not only did he bring some lunch meat to them, but he also said that he would ask his wife to help. As long as he went to the workshop to help, he would still be paid thirty cents a day. If he did a good job, he would still be paid. rewards, and there are four days off every month, and wages are paid for these four days off.
This made the couple extremely happy. Although their family had a slightly better life than other families in the village, in the past two years, in order to support their two sons studying in the county, the family had lived frugally and was very nervous. If you go to work in a workshop, you will earn almost one tael of silver a month. This is a big income, and as long as this workshop is opened, you can earn it every month in the future.
After Yu Silian asked He Guixiang to help, the couple became much closer to the Han family and the Mo family. Li Youdi also went to Li Yougui specifically and asked him to watch his mother closely so as not to cause any trouble again. He also said a lot of good things about the Han family and the Mo family, and even praised Mo Ziwan for teaching the children in the village to read.
Han Shuxian said thank you to Li Youdi, but Li Youdi also knew very well how much he weighed. Although he helped the repair shop run errands, he also benefited from him by helping sell the land. Not to mention this matter. He already knew the people in the village, and he could find someone to build the house with or without him. On the contrary, he even invited himself to help him look after the house while he was repairing it. He said that if something happened, he was not at home and could not take care of him. Come on, Mother Chunlin is a woman, so she doesn’t understand even if I tell her about it.
He said that he was helping him, but in fact it was him who was helping him and pushing himself, "Sure, sure, even I can't help you much, I don't have much ability, I can only run errands for you."
"Brother Li, you're welcome. You are usually busy with everything in the village. Our village is today thanks to you." Han Shuxian said with a smile.
While he and Li You were talking happily, Xie Wenhua and Liu Yuan also came one after another. Even Mr. Chen came over with half a fan of pork on his back and said congratulations on the opening of the workshop.
After the three of them sat down for a while, the shopkeeper of Fengyuan Restaurant also came to the door with a gift. Although the owner did not come in person,
Han Shuxian still received him personally.
In addition to the people from the county, there were two people whom no one knew, but from the way they dressed, it could be seen that these two people were not ordinary people.
The auspicious moment came while they were joking. Han Shuxian, Mo Tingyu, and the Li family stood at the door of the workshop. Looking at the people gathered around, Han Shuxian shouted loudly: "Thank you all my neighbors and friends for taking the time to come and witness." Chengde Luncheon Meat Workshop" opened. After saying that, he folded his hands and bowed to everyone.
As he bowed, the people gathered around him immediately burst into thunderous applause. In the applause, Han Shuxian overlapped his hands and thanked the crowd a few more times. After the applause subsided, He went on to say, "Food is the most important thing for the people. Anyone who has eaten our lunch meat knows that our lunch meat has a delicate and smooth taste. There is no stickiness of lean meat in the mouth, and there is no greasiness of fat meat."
He glanced at the crowd with a smile, "You may have eaten our luncheon meat. I don't know if what I said is true or not, but everyone can try it today."
A man in the crowd shouted: "We can eat with open stomachs in a while. I don't know if Mr. Han has prepared enough for us!"
As soon as the man finished shouting, another voice came, "You are like a starving ghost who has never been reincarnated. It's like you haven't eaten in ten lifetimes."
The person who spoke was a woman. After the woman's words, everyone burst into laughter, including the man who spoke, grinning widely, not at all embarrassed about what he had just said.
Han Shuxian knew that everyone was joking, but when planning meals, he also planned more.
The people in the village are all poor. It is an exaggeration to say that they only eat meat once a year, but the time to eat meat is really only a handful in a year, so there is a lot of time to prepare meat.
"Brother Li, don't be polite today. Open up and eat. You have enough wine and meat."
After a short interlude, Han Shuxian went on to get down to business, "Our luncheon meat not only has to taste good, but the most important thing is clean. You can see that everyone who comes to work in our workshop must follow our instructions." Required dress code.”
Following Han Shuxian's words, a group of people walked out from behind him. Everyone had a light gray cotton apron hanging on their chest. Not only that, they also wore a hat of the same color on their head, which probably covered their hair. After being put into the hat, everyone looked like they had a smooth forehead, without a trace of hair exposed. That was not all, everyone also had a face towel tied on their face to cover their face.
Looking at everyone's strange looks, Han Shuxian could understand their confusion, because he was also puzzled at the beginning, "Is everyone wondering why they dress like this?"
"I don't need to say more about the apron. I think everyone knows that it protects one's clothes from getting dirty. It also prevents the dirt on the clothes from being contaminated on the food. Wrapping your hair, covering your mouth and nose also means the same thing. Don't let it get dirty. Hair, saliva, and nose are contaminated on the food we eat, and we ensure that every piece of lunch meat you eat is clean."
At the same time, he also said some of the things he had promised Li Youdi before, "The workshop has just opened and we don't need many manpower. Thanks to everyone, the business of the workshop will get better in the future. If you still want to come to work in the workshop, I will I definitely invite everyone to come.”
He also asked everyone to raise one or two more pigs. Whether there are pigs that can be sold now or in the future, he will not charge lower than the county price, including red potatoes.
Although you can't make money by working, having these two things is a great thing for the villagers.
Although Han Shuxian was standing in front of the door, facing the crowd in front of him, when he spoke, he turned his head and scanned everyone in front of him. Seeing everyone's excited and happy expressions, he became excited himself.
After some away talk, he, Mo Tingyu, and Li Genshun simultaneously pulled off the red cloth covering the plaque above their heads. When the red cloth fell, the words "Chengde Luncheon Meat Workshop" appeared prominently in front of everyone's eyes, and then There was another round of thunderous applause.
After the unveiling, it was time to eat. Han Shuxian took Xie Wenhua, Liu Yuan, and several people invited from Beijing to sit in a specially prepared room.
During the dinner, Han Shuxian first introduced everyone to each other.
One of the two is Murong Tingxu, the owner of the "diners come" restaurant in the capital, and the other is Guo Meng, the owner of a restaurant called "Xianju Restaurant" in Linxian County.
After the introduction, Li Tingxu said first: "Brother Han's thoughts are worthy of our study and admiration! When dealing with people like you, brother, it is also worthy of belief."
Guo Meng also followed closely: "Brother Han is right, we are all in the food business, so we should be more particular about food. To be honest, brother, when I first saw the workers coming out, I thought they were I'm sick for some reason and I can't see anyone. I didn't know that Brother Han thought so carefully." Like Li Tingxu, he also said "I admire you."
After the two of them talked, Liu Yuan, who had the final say, also spoke, "Diseases enter through the mouth. In the past, many of the patients who came to our clinic for treatment were sick because of unclean eating. Brother Han is like this It not only makes the diners happy to eat, but also makes them safe and satisfying." Then he smiled and said: "You luncheon meat, I will be a regular customer in the future." Z.br>
Of course, Han Shuxian had to express her thoughts and let others see her sincerity, so that we could cooperate more harmoniously in the future. It was like she didn't need to tell the workers how to dress, but she still listened to Wan Wan. The absurdity was actually something he only agreed to before they came out to show it.
This display is really effective. You don’t even need to look at everyone’s expressions. You can hear everyone’s reaction just by listening to the applause. If it hadn’t been recognized by everyone, how could there be such loud applause again!
At least now everyone will think that he is cooking food with all his heart, and is not the kind of person who is only interested in profit!
"It's so rare to be favored by Brother Liu. Who in the county doesn't know your reputation as Dr. Liu Yuan? Not only is he highly skilled in medicine, but he is also very picky about his food!"
Liu Yuan: "Brother Han, I'm not picky about this luncheon meat at all. I hope you can make more of it in the future, brother Han, just don't make me miss the trip again."
