The Era of Hard Work

From the opening of the store of Lujia Food Company until the twelfth lunar month, Hongxing and his pickup truck stopped working in the labor market in the county seat, and were busy working for their own village all day long.

Followed Accountant Li to the meat joint factory and Shilipu to buy live pigs; took Hu Chunlan to buy stewed pork seasoning; went to three shops in the county to deliver stewed cooked food; pulled useless branches from the village to the orchard , like a felled apple tree, becomes firewood in the hearth; buckets of trademarks and banners are transported back and forth...

Compared with working in the county town, I earn a lot more.

In the twelfth lunar month, Lu's butcher shop opened new stores in two towns, bringing the total number of stores to ten.

Lu Zhenlin dared to open a new store because firstly, the retail business was doing well, and secondly, the number of pre-orders for Chinese New Year was gratifying enough.

There are really too few competitors in this era, so few that people have an illusion: as long as you open a store, it seems that you can make money no matter what you sell.

The population base of Qingzhao is large enough, and braised cooked food is not a high consumption. The only thing with a relatively high price is beef.

However, Lu's cooked food does not focus on beef, and braised beef can only be regarded as incidental.

Less than ten days after opening, the combined sales of the eight stores easily exceeded 60,000.

This is still just opened, word of mouth and reputation has not really opened up.

In terms of reservations, it has already approached 500 hangs/barrel. The shops with the most reservations are not in the county seat, but in the village. As posters are posted, leaflets are sent out, and advertisements are on TV, people from nearby villages come to Lujia Village to make reservations. Absolutely.

Several other stores also exceeded expectations.

It has just entered the twelfth lunar month, and including the benefits of the three companies, it has exceeded 800 pegs/barrel.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the price of live pigs is also increasing. The price list for large quantities of purchases is between 90 and 110, which varies with the weight.

The price of live pigs is about 130 yuan, and there may be differences in regions.

Large-scale marinating, the profit margin is very large.

In order to ensure sufficient supply, apart from the Qingzhao Meat Joint Factory and Shilipu Market, Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin took the time to travel to many places to contact a number of large slaughterhouses to ensure that there were enough live pigs to go into the water.

There is no need to worry about braised chicken products, there is enough supply from Iron Rooster.

People in Lujia Village, including Lu Dong, are also trying to find ways to help the village sell Luzhu and further open up sales.

When the schools were going to be on vacation, Lu Dong went to the construction site of Wenyuan, the academy, and approached Qin Ya shamelessly.

Before coming, he did some research.

Lu Dong waited in the cubicle for a while, Qin Ya came in from the outside, put down the folder in her hand, took off the red safety helmet, poured hot water to wash her hands, and asked, Lu Dong, are you going to buy a house?

No. Lu Dong smiled and asked, Sister Qin, did you complete the formalities for that big client last time?

Qin Ya wiped her hands with a towel, found anti-cracking oil and rubbed it with oil, and said, It's done, and the bank loan is also settled. Lu Dong, and the high-quality customers I know, must bring a few more.

Of course, Lu Dong said good things: No problem, when you meet someone who is buying a house, you will definitely try your best to drag us.

Qin Ya pulled out the chair, sat opposite Lu Dong across a desk, and said, What do you need from me?

Lu Dong opened the bag and took out two exquisite lunch boxes: Recently, my mother made some new stewed food. It tastes very good. I want to let my friends try it next to each other. I think it's good. I will give it to everyone during the Chinese New Year. Some current products.

While speaking, he put the lunch box on the table in front of Qin Ya.

You are very considerate. Qin Ya first removed the plastic chopsticks stuck on the lid of the box, and then opened the two lunch boxes next to each other. Each lunch box has four small compartments, and each small compartment contains different cooked meat. It looks like ears, pork liver and pig head meat and so on.

She is originally from Quannan, and she is no stranger to these things. She was about to put down her chopsticks, but she stopped again. Looking at Lu Dong's slightly immature face, which had a mature temperament, she suddenly wanted to joke: Lu Dong, are you Drugged in there?

Hearing this, Lu Dong almost choked on his saliva, waved his hands and said, Sister Qin, this joke is not to be taken, I am an upright man, and I have never given medicine to anyone!

After speaking, I felt a little guilty for some reason.

I never gave anyone any medicine? Lu Dong's psychological construction is strong: he has never drugged a good person!

Qin Ya made a joke, picked up the thinly sliced ​​pork head and tasted it. Although there was a lot of white fat on it, it was not greasy at all, and had a crisp taste.

There is nothing to say about the taste.

She tasted them next to each other and said, Very good!

Lu Dong asked: The goods were good back then?

Qin Ya was not ignorant, she put down her chopsticks and stared at Lu Dong: Just speak up if you have something to say, don't be so polite.

Lu Dong still smiled and said: Sister Qin, our company is so big, will we give employees benefits during the Chinese New Year?

Qin Ya gradually grasped Lu Dong's intention: Some.

Lu Dong took out a beautifully crafted advertisement page and handed it to Qin Ya. He suggested that it be printed specially for big customers, and matched with the custom-made deli plastic bucket.

Sister Qin, the Lu family has a century-old history of cooked food. He bragged so much that he didn't even need to type a draft: It is famous far and wide. It is said that Emperor Qianlong granted the No. 1 spring in the world and found Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake. When he lingered , specially tasted Lu’s stewed stew!”

This is a special product that can be compared with green onions. It tastes great! You have been to the market next door. My small business only used a little stewed soup, and it was like that. Our company will distribute it as a welfare , when the human relationship is sent out, the customers will definitely like it, and the employees will definitely be happy.”

Qin Ya smiled: You can really say, I want to buy everything you say.

Lu Dong said: Because it's really good, I dare to say that, otherwise I would have no confidence. He didn't fight unprepared battles, and knew a lot before he came: I heard people say that our company purchased a lot last year. Boxed scallions are presented as special products. This year, scallions are so cheap that they are all thrown on the road to rot. You must replace them with special products. Our Lu family cooked food is the most suitable.

Qin Ya didn't answer the call for a while, and carefully read the product and product introduction on the advertisement page.

Lu Dong took out another document from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ya: This is the inspection certificate from the County Health Bureau. From sanitation to materials, we meet the highest standards.

During the Chinese New Year, we must purchase benefits, and even the three companies have to give benefits. Lu Dong didn't expect to be able to do it for the entire company of Party A, and there are a lot of them in Wenyuan, a school alone.

I'm not the only one who can decide on this matter. Qin Ya put away the materials and said, I will hand in the materials for you. You can wait for a few days, but don't get your hopes up.

At that time, it will be handed over to Mr. Sun's desk together with other information on the intended welfare goods. It is his luck that Mr. Sun can approve it, and there is nothing she can do if she can't.

Lu Dong understood that it would not be easy to reach this step, so he said, Thank you, Sister Qin.

Qin Yachou said earlier: If it doesn't work, just don't blame me.

Lu Dong quickly smiled and said, No, absolutely not! Sister Qin, we haven't met once or twice. Am I that kind of person?

Qin Ya smiled.

Lu Dong left at the right time: Sister Qin, you are busy, so I won't bother you.

After leaving the board room, Lu Dong was about to leave when he saw a familiar Crown parked in front of him. Thinking of Qian Rui, a big local tyrant, he went over to take a look.

The door on the other side of the crown was open, and Qian Rui was on the phone, talking and laughing happily, and seemed in a good mood.

Lu Dong didn't approach, and stood in the distance for a while.

It wasn't until Qian Rui hung up the phone that he went over to say hello: Mr. Qian!

Qian Rui put away his phone and said with a smile, Lv Dong, long time no see.

Lu Dong said: Qian is always a busy person. Some time ago, I heard from sister Juan that Qian always took another big project at the business center.

Qian Rui waved his hand: Small trouble. He laughed cheerfully, and there was a smell called happiness floating all over his body: The main reason is that Juanjuan is so good. On the Wenyuan side of the school, Juanjuan is soft-hearted, and she just wants to go to school. With a lot of money, I don’t need to go out this year, and I can live a good year in peace.”

This probably means that to marry a wife is to marry a virtuous person, Lu Dong smiled, with a pun: Congratulations to Mr. Qian.

Qian Rui understood very well: I'm also quite surprised that Juanjuan is so powerful.

Lu Dong said: Maybe there was no room for her to play before. He changed the subject in a timely manner: Mr. Qian, do you have a lot of contacts during the Chinese New Year?

Qian Rui glanced at Lu Dong: Yes, quite a few.

There are a lot of people from other places? Lu Dong heard Zhao Juanjuan mention some of them.

Many material dealers and small foremen are from out of town. Qian Rui knew, Lu Dong went to ask Mr. Lu, and it was clear at a glance: We Qingzhao here, during the New Year and holidays, it is inevitable to exchange favors.

Lu Dong knew him very well, and with his background in stewed pork pancakes, he took out the advertisement page and handed it over: Mr. Qian, do you consider local specialties in the test? Look, this is stewed food made by my family! Lu's cooked food! It tastes better than braised pork pancakes!

Qian Rui wanted to take that one bite, and took a closer look at the advertisement page: Lu's cooked food? Boiled in water? He remembered something: Lu Dong, I remember that there is a poppy shell in your village...

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Dong took out the inspection certificate from the Health Bureau: Mr. Qian, the village committee of Lujia Village is the guarantor, and the town committee of Ningxiu Town strongly recommends it. There is still a certificate, absolutely no problem. If you really want to Question, if nothing else, I still have the face to see Sister Juan?

Compared with Qin Ya, Qian Rui knew Lu Dong better, and he also liked the stewed biscuits at Lu Dong's stall. After thinking about it for a while, he said, I'll think about it, and I'll give you an answer within two days.

Lu Dong didn't expect Qian Rui to make a decision immediately, and said, Okay, Mr. Qian, I will be in the market until the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Qian Rui smiled and said, I'll go to your place to buy stewed pork biscuits when I'm free.

The two didn't say anything more. Lu Dong went back to the market from the construction site and continued to do his business. He also contacted Song Na, Du Xiaobing and Lu Jianren when he took time off. , get together to discuss.

Many things must be agreed in advance.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qian Rui came to the market. While buying braised pork pancakes, he brought good news. He planned to buy 120 barrels of braised pork pancakes from Lu Dong. .

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Ya also replied to Lu Dong that the construction site of Xuefu Wenyuan required 230 barrels, which was similar to that of Qian Rui.

This is a big deal for Lu's Cooked Food Company, but it's nothing to Qian Rui, and it's nothing to Xuefu Wenyuan.

The price of marinated and boiled water is specially asked by the family members, and the price is not bad. There are people in my hometown who are good at making this, and they have made it into one of Zhangqiu's specialties. As mentioned earlier, it is called Dagouyaxiahuo. There is a lot of related content on the Internet.
