The Era of Hard Work

Boil cooking is also a traditional craft in our village, and there are quite a few people who are good at it. Lu Jianwu continued, Sister-in-law Jianjun's cooking is very good. Anyway, as far as my personal taste is concerned, it's much better than Cheng Lifeng's cooking.

Iron Rooster echoed: I also think Jianjun's sister-in-law does a better job.

Lu Dong doesn't need to say anything, the old lady's cooking skills are also recognized in Lu's village.

Brother Dong! Lu Lanlan, who had been eating sorghum glutinous rice, regained her energy when she heard the stew, and whispered to Lu Dong, Don't forget to call me when you make stew again.

Lu Dong flicked her forehead in the air: I can't forget to eat!

Lu Lanlan smiled happily as she ate sorghum.

Lu Zhenlin said at this time: I have thought about making braised stew. This is a small business. It is no problem for an individual to open a shop and support a family. But if we do it collectively in a village like ours, can it be scaled up?

In the past few months when he was out and about, he also paid attention to the braised cooking restaurants. He felt that Cheng Lifeng was considered to be a large one. Most of the braised cooking restaurants were just a small shop, or they simply set up stalls on the roadside and in the market.

Lu Jianguo worked in a public company and said, Cheng Lifeng's influence cannot be ignored.

Lu Zhenlin looked at Lu Dong. In the past few months, Lu Dong's performance was all in his eyes, and he asked, Dongzi, you are the one who mentioned Luzhu, tell me what you think.

The eyes of the others were all on Lu Dong. If it was before the flood, no one would care what Lu Dong said, but now, including Lu Jianguo, they all think that since Lu Dong said so, he must have a more reliable idea.

This person's prestige is not based on what he says, but what he does one by one.

Lu Dong took out the letter paper, looked at the ghostly talisman he had written, and said, In the past few days, I have been running around the county seat and six or seven large towns. There are braised pork businesses in these places. Then I bought some offal, and asked the boss a few words, their business is good. I tasted it side by side, and their braised stew was worse than ours in taste and heat.

Okay, Dongzi. Lu Jianwu said with a smile, If you know, do market research first.

Lu Zhenlin glanced at him, reprimanded: I'd rather listen to you than to listen to him.

Lu Jianwu had no choice but to shut up.

No enmity can't make a father and son.

Lu Dong ignored the two of them and continued: I was in the township, and I asked some people who bought marinated boiled water. Not many people knew about Cheng Lifeng's incident. The Cheng Lifeng incident had little impact on the township. They should buy it and eat it. Eat. In the county seat, it has spread a little more widely, and it’s been almost three months. As far as I actually observe and ask, the influence is almost gone.”

He glanced at the ghostly characters: Cheng Lifeng sells boiled stew, and he has always used Cheng Lifeng's signboard. He has a gap with our Lujia Village. He rarely tells people that he is from Lujia Village. After opening a shop in the county, I can't wait to see you. It's a complete break with our Lujia Village! So, I think Cheng Lifeng's influence will be there, but it's not as big as we thought.

Lu Zhenlin said: You have a heart.

This is really taking the affairs of the village to heart, and going to investigate the situation specifically for this.

At least better than the others here.

Lu Dong said again: There are less than two months to celebrate the New Year, just in time! Let's not say that we are far away, in the central and northern regions of Qingzhao, visiting relatives during the New Year, who will not play the leading role at the feast? There is no Cheng Lifeng this year, the market There is a lot of space! If we do it in the village, we will have an inherent advantage, and we can easily recruit a lot of skilled workers. We can set up a new signboard, such as Lu's stewed or cooked food, and make the signboard popular during the Chinese New Year!

Accountant Li thought about it and said, Buying stewed vegetables during the Chinese New Year has become a habit here. A few days ago, people from other villages asked me if anyone in our village made them.

Lu Zhenlin nodded slightly: Dongzi, you know the situation in our village, can opening a stewed restaurant solve our village's problems?

Lu Dong understood what he meant, and had thought about it a long time ago: Third Grandfather, uncles, this business must be carried out step by step. I think we should first base ourselves on the north-central part of Qingzhao, with the county as the core, and radiate to the surrounding towns. Let's first Open a store in this village and do business in the surrounding villages, Third Grandpa, please contact the brigade of the surrounding villages, and we will post some advertisements, which should attract some people.

We can also rent the door to open a shop in the county. Instead of going to the high street with high rent, we can go to the area where the residents are concentrated. There are two or three large residential areas in the county. No problem.

The wealthy villages and towns around the county have strong spending power. Can we open branches in the wealthy towns?

These are the first steps in Qingzhao. If we really want to develop well in the future, can we open the store in the urban area of ​​Quannan? Quannan is not just a county in Qingzhao. Recently, I have met many college students and foreigners. Braised pork biscuits It is very popular, and the malatang made based on stewed meat soup is also selling very well. There is not much difference in taste in the central and western regions of Taidong.

Li Banshan is a person who has been doing business all year round, and his business has reached a certain scale. As soon as Lu Dong finished speaking, he said, What Dongzi said is quite reasonable.

Lu Jianguo and Lu Jianwu were thinking, Lu Zhenlin's bushy eyebrows trembled slightly, and his mood was not as calm as his appearance.

Iron Rooster suddenly said: You can't just stare at the water when you boil it. Braised chicken and chicken feet are also very popular, so you have to add it. I can supply it there, so I guarantee it will be no problem!

Uncle Tie deserves to be Uncle Tie, and his abacus is exceptionally good. Lu Dong added: This is an ideal situation. In practice, there must be many difficulties.

Lu Jianwu said: What you said is a bit like McDonald's and KFC.

Lu Dong admitted: Almost.

I think what Dongzi said is more reliable than paint factories and brick and tile factories. Lu Jianwu didn't save face for his father: Let me choose, I choose stew.

Lu Jianguo said at this time: The third company purchases stewed boiled rice every year for the Mid-Autumn Festival as a benefit, but the Cheng Lifeng incident has an impact on the public sector, so it's hard to say how it will be this year. Uncle Wu, I'll ask if we can still purchase , we don’t need to raise the price on purpose, we can pay as much as we want...

Accountant Li asked Lu Zhenlin: Third brother, you are familiar, you can go to the public office to try. Our river embankment and elementary school will not solve it for us, and the higher-ups must give us an explanation.

If it can be done, Lu Zhenlin will spare this old face for the sake of Lujia Village.

Lu Lanlan threw a piece of sorghum into her mouth: You can go to the market to sell it. There are many people who buy stewed food at the market, but my father refuses to buy it!

Everyone in the office laughed.

Lu Zhenlin said: Dongzi, according to what you said, braised cooking seems to have a future.

When Lu Dong said it, his attitude was very cautious: This is just my opinion, and the big guys will help to see, there are more people and more power.

This meeting was originally a discussion in nature, and everyone said a lot about what you said later.

Accountant Li is a caring person, and he has recorded all the opinions of the big guys.

After nearly an hour of discussion, although I didn't make a decision, I chose stewed cooked food, but they were all listed first.

Lu Zhenlin said: Our Lu family village has a poor foundation, and the funds we can get out are limited, so we can't stand the toss. Next, let's go in three steps. In the middle of the mountain, your contact person cuts down trees. No matter what we do, the trees have to be cut down. Gotta sell! The primary school picks and cuts off school time!

Li Banshan replied: Okay!

Old Ba! Lu Zhenlin's voice became harsh unconsciously: Go and ask about the procedures for opening a store first!

Lu Dong interjected: Third Grandpa, if we want to do it, we'd better register Luzhu as a trademark, so that we can easily make a name for ourselves.

Lu Zhenlin agreed: Baby, register a trademark, open a store and apply for a license, all this is up to you.

This matter was a piece of cake for Lu Jianwu who came from the public company, and he agreed immediately.

In the county, the town, and my old buddies, I have been going around for the past two days, looking around, and asking. There are some things that Lu Zhenlin doesn't feel relieved if he doesn't check them out for himself. It has nothing to do with trust or not, but It's just that Lu's village can't afford to fail: Three days later, at eight o'clock in the morning, we're still here to make the final decision!

Lu Zhenlin's caution also made Lu Dong heave a sigh of relief.

Frankly speaking, he was worried that the third grandfather would get on the horse in a hurry because he was old and wanted to do something.

But Lu Zhenlin has experienced many storms in his life, and he can become the talker of Lujia Village not only because of his age and seniority.

Not to mention that those who are a generation older than Lu Zhenlin have a strong body, even in the Zhenzi generation, Lu Zhenlin is not considered old.

Lu Zhenlin suddenly said: Dongzi, what you said today, write me a charter!

Lu Dong made a bitter face instantly, and said bravely, Third Grandpa, I will do my best.

In the future, if my career can grow, I will have to make up for many things.

It's not the time to really think about these things yet, let's open the store first and then talk about other things.

This concludes today's meeting, and everyone has to get busy.

Lu Dong went out of the brigade's yard and specifically went to find Lu Jianwu: Uncle Ba, I have something I want to tell you.

Lu Jianwu deliberately joked: Want to file a lawsuit with someone?

How can it be? Lu Dong also laughed, How can I start a conflict with a small business like this?

He repeated the old saying: Didn't I tell you last time, I also want to register a trademark, register a company... There is no rush, I can register at any time later.

Lu Jianwu heard about Lu Dong's business: Lu's Malatang?

Lu Dong said directly: Malatang, stewed pork pancakes, hot pot, fried chicken, drinks, there are several.

Lu Jianwu nodded, and explained in detail: You sort it out, and I will do it with the villagers.

The two chatted for a while, one was going to the county seat, the other was going to the university town, and they separated.

Lu Dong met Hu Chunlan and went back to the old street.

Hu Chunlan walked and said, I just heard from your aunt that your elder brother has someone to talk to?

Lu Dong asked, Did my elder brother confess?

Did you know? Hu Chunlan said, If you don't tell me earlier, your uncle and aunt are in a hurry all day long.

Lu Dong smiled: It's better to have the elder brother say it himself.

That's right. Hu Chunlan asked again: Have you seen him?

Lu Dong told the truth: I have seen the female reporter of the Evening News, the one who wrote my few reports. It seems that she has been promoted to deputy editor recently. She is very nice and fits well with my brother.

Hu Chunlan said: Your eldest aunt asked your eldest brother to bring it back to have a look.

Lu Dong said, I guess we'll have to wait for my elder brother to discuss it with others.
