Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 264 Change of Mind
"The business scope of your store is so wide. It also offers door-to-door delivery, group meals, and fixed-point stalls. Yes, yes, there is also a lo-mei business, which is also very prosperous. I didn't expect such a small shop to manage so many businesses!"

"Oh, the new storefront is being renovated. The upper and lower floors are more than 400 square meters, which is really not small."

As the questions asked by the two customers got deeper and deeper, Liang Dani instinctively felt that something was wrong, so she found a few excuses to fool her, quickly found Xu An, and made a small report: "Boss, there are two strange customers at the No. [-] store. They asked all kinds of questions as soon as they entered the store, and they asked them carefully!"

"Oh, I'll go take a look."

Hearing this, Xu An put down his work, followed Liang Dani to No. [-] shop, looked in the direction of Liang Dani's index finger, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

These two people are the kind-hearted people who helped pick up mushrooms on the high-speed rail. They are also the people who eavesdropped behind them after getting off the high-speed rail.
He actually found his store and came here, this is really for himself!
However, I don't have any conflicts with the people in Qingyan Province, so why am I being targeted by the people there?
It was useless to think too much, Xu An walked directly into the store, walked to the table where the two were, pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you two in Haishi. I haven't thanked you for picking mushrooms last time. Let me invite you for this meal today!"

"It's nothing more than a little effort, and there is no need to treat guests." The two stood up quickly when they heard Xu An's voice, and responded with a smile: "This is not a coincidence, we came here specially to find you!"

"Oh?" Xu An uttered a puzzled syllable, waiting for the two to clarify their intentions.

"We are members of the Honghe City Poverty Alleviation and Development Team. Because of the application submitted by Secretary Li, we are very interested in the shabu-shabu spicy food used in your store. I wonder if Boss Xu is convenient for showing us around?" The two took out their work certificates and handed them to Xu An, asking very politely.

The documents looked genuine, and since Qingyan Province was on the same high-speed train, Xu An chose to call Li Sixin to confirm.

Who knows if these two people will go with the spies sent to steal the secret recipe of Xu's lo mei; although the probability is not high, it has to be guarded against.

Li Sixin's reply was quick, and he gave a completely consistent answer through the name and real person's picture. Xu An felt relieved and returned the certificate to them.

"I didn't expect to surprise you to come here. We usually make hell lo mei at [-] o'clock in the morning. Today's hell lo mei has been made. If you two are interested in the production process, you can come to watch it at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. Now, I will take you two to see the shabu shabu and the lo mei made with shabu shabu!"

Afterwards, Xu An took the two of them to the warehouse on the second floor of the No. 95 store, and took out a conspicuous red sealed box from the shelf. Before opening the box, Xu An took out two N[-] masks and handed them to the two, signaling them to put them on.

"This is?" The two took the mask in a daze, not knowing what it was for for a while.

"The smell of this chili is more overbearing. We all wear gas masks when cooking."

When Xu An asked them to wear masks, the two of them didn't care; after Xu An lifted the cover, they wanted to wear goggles again; the smell was really unbearable.

Accompanied by Xu An, the two visited all three stores, chatted with the shop assistants from time to time, and even had an encrypted conversation in the local dialect when they met the staff from Hezibao; finally, they took the two of them to the furniture store that was being renovated, and this time the inspection trip was over.

"Brother Zhang, this boss Xu seems to be reliable."

"Well, at least there are no flaws." Brother Zhang said, shaking his head and laughing: "It can't be that Boss Xu started setting up the scheme more than three months in advance, just to deceive the villagers of Hezibao for loans?"

"Hi!" Xiao Song also laughed: "Fortunately, Boss Xu is in the catering business, not in the business of fertilizers, seeds, etc. Otherwise, it would be a lot of speculation."

"Then shall we come to the store tomorrow morning to see the production process?"

"It's already here, let's take a walk and take some photos to make sure!"

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, if there is no problem, let's tell the leader. It is estimated that in the next two days, the application for the special loan at Hezibao should be submitted for approval."

"Um"

"Wow, even the video was ranked, and the photos were taken with great care. There is so much effort over there, we can't lose here!"

Tang Wen thumbed through the materials sent by Li Sixin while praising her. After reviewing all the photos and videos, she had already conceived the outline of a new blog post in her mind, but she still felt that something was missing.

Obviously photos, videos and other materials are complete, what is missing?

Tang Wen didn't get the answer to the question until the end of get off work time, so she had to put down her work, go home from get off work, and fight again tomorrow.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Tang Wen smelled a strong fragrance. She felt refreshed and quickened her pace back home. She walked quickly to the kitchen and asked, "Dad, what kind of soup are you cooking? Why is it so fragrant!"

"It's the soup packs you brought back. They are really delicious. Aunt Zhang next door came to me and asked for a pack when she smelled it. Where did you buy these packs? Is it expensive? If it's not expensive, buy some more. I'll give some to relatives and friends to try."

"Expensive is not expensive, but there is nothing to sell in the market. The boss brought it back for us personally, so he charged a cost price, 12 yuan a pack."

Tang Wen poked her head into the kitchen and took two deep breaths. The smell is really extraordinary!

"If you can't buy it, forget it. It seems that they don't have such a good fortune." Tang Wen's father brought the turned off soup pot to the dining table while nagging, and said to Tang Wen: "The food is almost ready, go and call your mother, and prepare to serve dinner."

"Okay!"

Called out the mother who was busy in the study, and the moment Tang Wen picked up the bowl and chopsticks to start, she was called to stop by her mother.

"Wait, the dishes on the table today are really delicious. Old Tang, you are good at cooking! I'll take a photo and send it to Moments to praise you!"

Tang Wen held the bowl and waited for her mother to finish taking pictures of the meal, but after taking pictures of the top side, her mother came to the side, and after taking the left side, she came to the right side. After finally working together, she started to take pictures of each dish separately.
"Mom, Moments can only post up to nine pictures, you can't post so many pictures!" Tang Wen resignedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and complained.

"I'm not very good at taking pictures, so I don't need to take a few more photos. I'll pick a few good-looking ones later."

"Forget it, Mom, give me your phone, and I'll take pictures for you. Just tell me what kind of photo you want."

"I took several pictures of that chicken soup, but I didn't think it was a good one. You should take a better one."

Tang Wen reached for the phone, and when she pointed the camera at the steaming mushroom and chicken soup, she suddenly froze.

There is a pot of clear and bright light yellow chicken soup in a pure black glossy earthen pot. All kinds of mushrooms are neatly placed on the top of the ingredients, such as white and soft bamboo fungus, dark brown plump morels, and light brown delicate chanterelles.
The last missing link in the blog post, found it!

"Teacher, look at this, it's very interesting to shoot!" The student handed the phone to Wei Zhongchun who was sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper.

"Oh, what are you shooting?" Wei Zhongchun put down the newspaper when he heard this, took the phone, put on his eyes and looked at the screen of the phone: "This is a mushroom!"

"That's right, this is a popular science blog post. It introduces 13 kinds of mushrooms and attaches pictures of the whole process from picking to drying. Below are photos and videos of these mushrooms growing in the mountains. It's very interesting." The student explained to Wei Zhongchun with great interest.

"It's really interesting, and it's done with care. The size, shape and growth state of these fungi seem to be from Qingyan Province. They should grow in the mountainous area. They are not big but fragrant."

Based on the pictures of these mushrooms, Wei Zhongchun guessed more news that could not be shown in the pictures.

"Teacher, you are really amazing!" The student immediately flattered him: "This is really from Qingyan Province, and it was collected from a village called Hezibao."

"Hezibao?" Wei Zhongchun felt that the name was somewhat familiar, so he couldn't help repeating it.

Jingle bells - jingle bells -

Just when Wei Zhongchun was thinking about where he had heard of this place name, the cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Lao Yu, what do you need from me?"

"Just chatting a few words, is it convenient?" Professor Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That's really rare. You actually came to chat with me on your own initiative." Wei Zhongchun joked with Professor Yu before saying, "It's convenient, tell me, I'll listen."

"Didn't you say that a liar came to you a few days ago, saying that you want to make a rare chili called shabu-shabu, right?" Professor Yu confirmed.

"Yes, what's the matter, where did the liar find you?"

"No, this may be a misunderstanding." Afterwards, Professor Yu told what he learned one by one, and finally said: "If you are interested in this rare pepper cultivation, it would be good to go and have a look."

After listening to Professor Yu's narration, Wei Zhongchun finally realized why he was familiar with the name "Hezibao".
"Okay, if it's true, that's a good thing. Although this Shabu Shabu is not easy to grow, but the purchase price is high, and it can be dried and transported. It has too many advantages over other crops." Wei Zhongchun agreed wholeheartedly: "You ask the young man in Xujia Village for a call, and I'll call the Secretary of Hezibao to find out about the situation."
