Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 43 Suppliers

The days are getting longer day by day, and the sky is already bright after [-] o'clock in the morning.

Because Zhou Huilan's soy milk business is good, there are many people who imitate her in the morning market, and some stone mills have been moved out, but the taste of whoever makes it is not as good as Zhou Huilan's.

She had just left home this morning, and before she walked out of Songbai Street, a bald-headed man in his 50s stopped her with a young man who often bought soy milk from her.

"Sister, this is my master, the master chef of our Anning City State-owned Hotel, surnamed Niu."

Zhou Huilan was startled, she had a big heart, she stopped the tricycle with a smile, "Master Niu, what do you need from me?"

"Can I try your soy milk?"

Zhou Huilan didn't quite understand, but the young man behind Master Niu winked at her to save face for the old customers, so Zhou Huilan lifted the lid of the pot and filled half a bowl and handed it to Master Niu.

The old man only took a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately, "This is really better than the one you take back and reheat!"

Zhou Huilan, who was praised, immediately turned into a flower.

"Can you supply your soy milk exclusively to our restaurant? We will charge you at a price of [-] cents a catty. Although this price is not as high as your stall, you don't have to sell it yourself. You can make more money if you make more. And more."

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that if she only had to grind the soy milk and send it directly to the restaurant, she would not have to spend time selling soy milk, so she would no longer be limited to the customers in the morning market.

"Then how much do you charge? Is there a limit?"

Niu Guangde smiled contemptuously, "Our restaurant not only entertains guests for the city government, but also serves as a large canteen for government agencies. We usually grind soybean milk ourselves, so we can sell a thousand catties for breakfast alone."

"Then how much catty can you collect from me a day?"

"Today, you take these two pots away first. If they sell well, then the more the better, the better for both of us!"

Retailing took a lot of effort and delayed sending the children. Of course, Zhou Huilan would not refuse such an opportunity.

Niu Guangde asked her to send the soy milk directly to the back kitchen of the restaurant, weigh it, and go directly to the financial office to collect the money.

Zhou Huilan turned the tricycle around, followed the master and apprentice, crossed two streets, and came to the magnificent state-run hotel.

It was the time of worship in the morning, and many residents of the nearby family members' homes would come here to cook and take home to eat, and some of them also bought soy milk from Zhou Huilan.

When they saw her pushing a tricycle, they gathered around and asked, and heard that Zhou Huilan was going to sell soy milk in a state-run restaurant. Those who were about to leave after eating lunch stopped Master Niu and asked him which window he was at, as if they were waiting in line. Stance.

Niu Guangde then sent his apprentice to take Zhou Huilan to the back kitchen to weigh, but he went into the lobby, stood at the queue window, wiped the words on the small blackboard, and directly added the word "soy milk" under today's supply.

"Master Niu, what's the price of the soy milk in our cafeteria?"

"So how much did you buy from Master Zhou?"

"Thirty cents a bag!"

"Then let's sell it to everyone for [-] cents, making small profits but quick turnover, just for the convenience of the masses and to serve the people!"

As soon as the words fell, they immediately won a burst of applause.

Zhou Huilan heard the cheers from the front in the back kitchen of the hotel, but she didn't see how spectacular the line that lined up to the door was in the blink of an eye.

The soy milk stated that it weighed 180 seven catties, poured it into the restaurant pot and deducted the weight of the two pots for a total of 36 catties. The soy milk was 150 catties. When they got on the tricycle, they led her to the financial office on the second floor to collect the money.

"My name is Lu Jin, how about you, Master?"

From now on, it will be a cooperative relationship, and we will often communicate with each other. Zhou Huilan and the young man have known each other for a while, and they smiled and extended their hands, "My name is Zhou Huilan."

"Sister Zhou, your soy milk is really good, don't tell me nothing." The two of them were going up the stairs, but Lu Jin still glanced up and down, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhou Huilan: "It's better to make your soy milk." , I have bought all the soy milk stalls beside the Drum Tower, and none of them can compare to yours."

A few days ago, the old man came to make such a fuss, and the attitude of the restaurant was very serious. After all these years, although the food in the state-run restaurant was not particularly good, he had never been slapped in the face like this.

For such a compliment, Zhou Huilan could only smile, "You're too much."

On the second floor of the hotel, there is a row of private rooms, but the rest of the space is empty. There are several large tables stacked together, obviously unused for a long time, and there are many screens piled up beside them, which look very old.

Lu Changqing said earlier that the reason why there are so many snack vendors on the Drum Tower is that most of them are laid-off workers of the state-owned restaurant. The big dining hall downstairs seems to be crowded, so maybe the business is not that good.

The financial office is at the very back of the private room. Lu Jin knocked on the door and went in. There was only a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing glasses and looking gentle.

Lu Jin handed over the receipt, "Sister Zhao, the soy milk that Master Niu wants to charge is twenty-five cents a catty, in cash."

Accountant Zhao nodded, put the receipt in a drawer, wrote a note for both Lu Jin and Zhou Huilan to sign, and then directly gave Zhou Huilan the 37 cents.

After doing all this, there was no nonsense, but Lu Jin happily said goodbye to Accountant Zhao, and pulled Zhou Huilan out of the financial room.

"Sister Zhao is just like this. She doesn't talk much, but she is actually a very nice person."

Zhou Huilan put the money away with a smile, she didn't care if the accountant talked too much or too little, and if she talked less, it would save her from talking too much.

"Xiao Lu, after delivering the soy milk to your restaurant, do you still have to put it in the pot?" Zhou Huilan noticed in the back kitchen just now that the chef directly put the big pot of soy milk on the fire.

Lu Jin nodded, "Of course it has to be boiled before selling."

In this way, she doesn't have to cook that dish when she is at home, and it can save some effort and firewood.

Zhou Huilan made a note of it secretly, and continued to ask: "Then this soy milk, do you only collect it once a day in the morning, or do you collect it for breakfast, lunch and dinner?"

"Just now the master said that they will be collected. If you have time to grind during the day, just send it over."

Zhou Huilan thanked Lu Jin with a smile, got on the tricycle and left the hotel.

She soaked some beans last night, and today she just wanted to grind more beans, but there were no more beans, so she could only soak more tonight and work overtime tomorrow.

Back home, Yaoyao is still awake.

Zhou Huilan went to the kitchen to cook Yaoyao's food, cleaned up all the pots and pans, and when it was almost time, she went to call Yaoyao.

These days, Zhou Huilan is busy selling soy milk, most of the time when Yaoyao wakes up, Zhou Huilan is not there, Granny Duan will take her to wash and send her to school.

When she opened her eyes and saw her mother today, Yaoyao was very happy. She hugged Zhou Huilan's face and said, "Mom, today's soy milk is sold out so quickly?"
