Return to 1983 and be a detective

At Xiyang Station, Xu Shan got off the train and felt hungry, so he went to Ma Hehua's Lotus Restaurant to eat noodles.

At this time, the Lotus Hotel is completely different from what it was more than a month ago. There are so many customers here and business is booming.

As soon as Xu Shan sat down, the new waiter came up with a menu and asked Xu Shan politely what he wanted to eat.

Xu Shan ordered a bowl of noodles and a side dish.

At this time, the waiter took the initiative to recommend: "Would you like to try the braised duck head and braised duck feet in our store? They are very popular recently. Everyone likes to eat them."

"Oh, your store still makes this?" Xu Shan pretended to be surprised, "Then give me a braised rabbit head."

Three heads and one palm require a rabbit head, a duck head, a fish head, and a duck paw to make it complete.

I thought this would be considered a challenge, but unexpectedly the waiter quickly took note of it, turned around and brought out a braised rabbit head.

After the rabbit head is braised, it looks very ferocious with its teeth grinning.

Although it looks so scary, the smell is not something to hide. The rabbit heads of later generations are very similar to the current ones, and they are also a bit discouraging in appearance.

Seeing that Xu Shan did not make things difficult for the waiter, he stopped her again and said, "Bring me another braised fish head."

The waiter went down immediately and soon brought out a braised fish head.

Xu Shan was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Ma Hehua was really good at it. He didn’t need to teach himself, and he got on the road so quickly. He actually made a braised fish head and a braised rabbit head, and completed the three heads and one palm. It’s over.

The waiter was still standing next to Xu Shan at this moment, wanting to see what kind of trouble Xu Shan was going to make.

Xu Shan was also a little surprised. This waiter was young and had a really bad temper. He was still a little unconvinced and seemed to want to quarrel with him.

"Call your boss lady over here."

"What are you looking for her for? I can handle everything in this store."

The waiter's tone was unkind, and he probably thought Xu Shan was eating the King's meal.

"I say that I know her, do you believe it?"

"I really don't believe it."

While talking, Ma Hehua heard Xu Shan's voice and looked here. She saw Xu Shan at this glance. She showed a knowing smile and hurriedly came forward: "Brother, why didn't you tell me that you are here? , This is so unusual."

"Sister, I didn't expect that business in your store would be so good after I haven't been here for a month."

"That's not all thanks to you. The trick you gave me really works. Now the reputation of my shop has spread. To be honest, not only people from Xiyang come to eat there, but also Many people from out of town come here to try my braised duck head."

"This is a good thing. I have to congratulate you, sister."

"Say this, it seems to be foreign. By the way, I plan to change the name of the Lotus Hotel. I don't know what name to change. Please help me think about it. What name should I choose?"

"Change the name? Which direction do you plan to develop?"

"Sister doesn't want to open a restaurant anymore. She plans to specialize in selling this braised duck head and duck feet."

Hearing Ma Hehua's words, Xu Shan was slightly surprised and asked curiously: "Why?"

"It takes a lot of effort and effort to make a restaurant, but you won't make much money. It's better to make braised food. You can sell one pot for several days, and the profit is still high. Besides, I can open a few more stores and sell the prepared braised food." They were distributed to various stores to sell... It's just that I'm a woman and don't have much experience, so I never gave it a name."

Xu Shan secretly admired Ma Hehua's courage. Now he could even think of opening a chain store.

It is true that catering is not as easy to operate as a chain business as braised food. Especially before the Internet era, quality control was not that easy.But the braised food is different. As long as you make sure the recipe is the same and the time is the same, you can make the same braised product.

When I think of this idea, it seems quite simple. In later generations, there were countless braised food and cooked food shops, such as a certain black duck, which flourished in various places and sold billions a year, but that was all later. In this era, it was proposed to open a chain of delicatessens, and Ma Hehua is probably the number one.

Seeing her looking at him expectantly, Xu Shan did not hide his clumsiness. He pointed at the braised rabbit head and the braised fish head and said: "Rabbit head, duck head, fish head, plus duck paws, otherwise it is called three heads and one." Palm it."

Ma Hehua murmured twice, with a look of ecstasy on her face, stroking her hands and laughing: "Three heads and one palm, three heads and one palm, this is a good name, catchy, simple and clear, brother, you are really talented. Otherwise, you have to waste more time. Could you please give me an inscription?"

Xu Shan knew that his calligraphy was not very good, so he hurriedly refused, but Ma Hehua seemed to have identified Xu Shan and insisted again and again: "Sister, I'm sure of you. Even if you don't write, help me find someone to write." .”

Xu Shan immediately thought of Zhang Xing. His calligraphy was pretty good, but on second thought, he rejected his idea. People in the world don't want good calligraphy, but want the person who writes it to be famous.

Some celebrities in later generations wrote misspelled words repeatedly, writing the simplified "Nine Ball Queen" instead of the prosperous "Nine Ball Queen" with two wrong words. Isn't it still sold for tens of thousands and 10,000+ per word?

Ordinary people, who cares whether you write "The scenery here is the best" or "The good dogs are floating next to it", as long as the person writing is famous, that's fine.After thinking about it for a while, he agreed and decided to find and write a message to the old man after he went back.Mr. Xiang was the first criminal detective in Xiyang after the founding of the People's Republic of China. His reputation is still there, and he is known as Xiang Qingtian. It is estimated that a calligrapher of this level can also do it.

After packing a set of three heads and one palm from Ma Hehua, Xu Shan left the store and was about to go to Su's house when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

When he turned around, he saw Wu Laoqi.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Wu Laoqi's appearance changed. Before, he looked like a peasant, with a gray face, tattered clothes, and lack of energy on his face.

But now when I look at Wu Laoqi, he has changed his clothes and looks like a white-collar worker.

When Wu Laoqi saw Xu Shan looking at him, he was as excited as a piece of seaweed, swaying wildly there, and his waist swayed with it, a bit like a wagging sheep.Xu Shan walked up to Wu Lao Qi and looked him up and down: "Isn't this Lao Qi? I haven't seen you for a month. Have you made a fortune?"

"It has to be your benefactor. Without the first pot of gold you gave me, how could I make a fortune?"

As Wu Laoqi spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan took it and looked at it. The name card said: "Xiyang Towel Factory, Sales Section Chief, Wu Laoqi."

Xu Shan glanced at the business card and then looked at Wu Laoqi.Wu Laoqi held his head high and his chest high, looking confident and ambitious.

"Okay, Lao Qi, are you going to be the section chief now?"

"Who says it's not the case? But this position was actually bought by me."

Wu Laoqi especially trusted Xu Shan and had nothing but praise for him.

"Ah? What kind of operation is this? You are working on a loan schedule." Xu Shan said he didn't understand.

These days are very different from later generations. Some entrepreneurs in later generations actually suggested taking out loans to work when it was hard to find a job.For such brick masters, Xu Shan could only advise them not to suggest anything.

But these days there are opportunities everywhere, and job opportunities everywhere. Even if you are penniless, have nothing, or even if you are a fugitive, there are still a lot of jobs waiting for you. You can survive and make money wherever you go. Get money.

Therefore, Xu Shan couldn't understand Wu Laoqi's spending money to buy a job, but he was greatly shocked.

"You must have a reason, tell me, I'm very interested."

Wu Laoqi's face was full of pride: "Actually, it's very simple to say, this towel factory, I think it's going to be unstoppable, and I can't bear to let it go bankrupt, so I spent money to buy it. I hired a section chief Dangdang for the sake of the future. The director of this towel factory has promised me that as long as I can turn the factory around from losses to profits, he can step aside and give the factory to me. "

Xu Shan was shocked again: "You believe in such a verbal promise? If this factory is losing money, you still have a chance to get it, but if this factory turns a profit, do you think the director will not Kick you away? You are so young."
