Chapter 73: The amount of inquiries
has increased, so naturally you will be busier than before.
Xia Mingyue was a little embarrassed about the increased workload without extra bonus, but Lu Shi and Jiang Zhuguo didn't care. Instead, they were very happy because they were busier.
Needless to say, Lu loved the feeling of making money the most, and felt that no matter how busy she was, she should do it.
As for Jiang Zhuguo, he simply wanted Xia Mingyue to make more money quickly.
Sister Xia is a good person. Good people should be blessed, live longer and have more wealth!
——
After entering the ambush, the weather becomes hotter and hotter.
When the weather is hot, people have poor appetites and will inevitably eat less during meals. If the cook at home is not good at cooking, they will be less likely to want to eat.
In order to keep the family well fed, especially when there are elderly people and young children at home, women try their best to make the meals more delicious.
Naturally, there is no way to improve this cooking skill in a short period of time, but it is still possible to buy some delicious food from outside.
For example, Xia Ji’s cold skin, cold noodles, cold noodles...
Yes, there are also new cold dishes.
It is made with shredded tofu, mung bean sprouts, crispy cucumbers, shredded carrots, yuba segments, fried peanuts, shredded fungus, etc. with minced garlic, chopped green onion, white sesame seeds, small red peppers, and drizzled with hot oil , a cold vegetable dish made with salt, soy sauce and sugar.
After mixing a large pot, put it there. It costs ten cents per catty, weigh as much as you want.
They are all seasonal vegetables, all are fresh and taste great, and the seasonings are appropriately mixed. They taste refreshing and appetizing but not greasy. Once you start eating, you feel like you can't stop.
And this cold dish is not expensive. For those from better families, it weighs only one or two kilograms. It is very comfortable to eat. It is cheaper than meat, but it is as satisfying as meat.
For those from poorer families, weighing half a catty or six taels, paired with other vegetables cooked at home, can also appetize the whole family and stimulate their appetite, and it does not cost a lot of money.
And because of the hot weather, the cold dishes can’t be kept. No matter how good Xia Ji’s business is, cold dishes are not the main food sold. If we do it again, we have to wait until tomorrow if we want to eat, which is quite a bit in short supply.
So many people stare at Xia Kee’s stall every day, just waiting for the cold dishes to start selling, and come to buy them one after another.
Because I had something to do at home and couldn't buy it late, I could only focus on Liangpi or Liangfen.
Buy a portion of Liangpi or Liangfen and eat it as a dish at home, just taste it.
Just as I tasted the taste, I felt that the food at home became more and more tasteless, and the more I felt that Xia Ji's food was really delicious.
In the hot summer, Xia Ji’s business has climbed to a new height.
The situation here at Jiang Erniu is also very good, and business is much better than when it first opened.
This business is good, so naturally people are keeping an eye on it.
It is impossible to cause trouble if you keep an eye on it. Almost everyone knows that Wu Xiong apologized to Madam Xia in Xia Ji. Wu Xiong also said that he was not allowed to provoke Xia Ji, making it clear that he was Anyone who dares to look for trouble in Xia Ji will be in enough trouble.
Although Jiang Erniu's Xia Ji is a branch, it still carries the Xia Ji brand and sells Xia Ji's food. If it is provoked, it may have the same consequences as provoking Lady Xia's Xia Ji.
So, although some red-eyed rabbits were ready to move in their hearts, they stopped all their thoughts after weighing for a long time and did not dare to reveal anything.
Other people started to calculate from another angle.
Since the food stall opened by Jiang Erniu is a branch of Xia Ji, does it mean that there can also be a branch next to it?
When you have questions, you have to find answers. Some activists have begun to frequent Jiang Erniu's food stall.
“The food at Shopkeeper Jiang’s is really incredible. I have eaten at all the food stalls on North Street, but I have never tasted anything better than the food at Shopkeeper Jiang’s. ”
A square face and not tall. , about the same age as Jiang Erniu, a man named Ding Quan ate cold noodles and took a bite of the scallion meat pie in his hand. While swallowing, he kept praising Jiang Erniu, "It can be seen that shopkeeper Jiang This is really a good way to cook food.”
"Why am I so good at my craftsmanship?" Jiang Erniu said with a smile, "You probably didn't see that the sign I am hanging is Xia Ji. To be honest, these delicacies are all sold by Xia Ji who sells delicacies at the stalls on West Street. Madam Xia makes it, and Madam Xia also owns it. I just joined Madam Xia’s Xia Ji, so I can sell Xia Ji’s food.”
“Join?” Ding Quan laughed. He started to laugh, "This word sounds quite rare and interesting, but since Madam Xia's craftsmanship is so good and Xia Ji's business is good, why doesn't Madam Xia let a few more people join the franchise to earn more money?" . ”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s Madam Xia’s own idea.” Jiang Erniu really didn’t know what Xia Mingyue was thinking, so he didn’t say much.
"That's it." Ding Quan didn't get the answer he wanted, so he asked further tentatively, "Looking at Shopkeeper Yi Jiang, will Madam Xia allow others to join Xia Ji again?"
“I really don’t know this…”
At this moment, Jiang Erniu also understood what the other party was thinking, and just said, "If you really want to ask, why not ask Madam Xia directly?"
Yes or no, Xia Mingyue It's someone from Xiangkuai who should give me a more accurate answer.
"Yes." Ding Quan nodded.
Since it’s not enough to make innuendoes, just ask directly.
Whether it works or not, at least there is something to say happily, and it is not so worrying.
After making up his mind, Ding Quan finished eating the cold noodles in the bowl and followed Jiang Erniu's instructions, searching for Xia Ji all the way to West Street.
It’s a pity that he is not fast on his feet and lives in Nancheng District. He is not familiar with Beicheng District and Xicheng District. When he found the stall with the Xia Ji signboard, Xia Ji had already closed it. stall.
Ding Quan had no choice but to find someone to inquire about where Lady Xia's home was.
When I found out about Xinghua Lane, I asked where the Xinghua Lane was.
"Excuse me, is this Xinghua Lane?" Ding Quan asked with his hands raised.
"It's not here, it's in the alley behind you." Zhang Laifu pointed, "You've walked through it."
"Thank you for letting me know." Ding Quan cupped his hands and thanked him.
Zhang Laifu opened the steamer to check how the buns were steaming, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for in Xinghua Lane?"
"I want to find Mrs. Xia's house." Ding Quan answered truthfully, "I heard that Mrs. Xia's family lives in Xinghua Lane, so I came to look for Xinghua Lane."
"Looking for Mrs. Xia." The guy from the liquor store next door interrupted, " When you walk along Xinghua Lane, you will see the newly built gatehouse and courtyard wall, which is Mrs. Xia’s house.”
"Thank you, brother, thank you very much." Ding Quan thanked him repeatedly, turned back to the entrance of Xinghua Lane, and turned in to look for the new gatehouse the waiter mentioned.
During the Qingming Festival, remember the ancestors...
