It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Chapter 252

Su Chaoliu couldn't wait for the results but Su Chaoqi could. She took a look at Su Chaoliu's total score and ranking. Although he was still ranked first, his total score was not much different from Gao Zixu's. The two were competing very closely.

Just as she was on vacation, she received a message from Manager Qin, asking her to come over to discuss the subsequent operation and development of the Blue Star Snacks brand.

In fact, logically speaking, operations are not Su Chaoqi's responsibility, but Manager Qin always calls her along to show respect.

In order to accommodate Su Chaoqi's schedule, the time was specially arranged during the holiday, which can be said to be very thoughtful.

Su Chaoqi left.

There were only three people attending the meeting, Qin Xin, Yue Ming and Su Chaoqi.

Although Yue Ming still looked lifeless, he was obviously much more mature and stable. He just didn't sit properly.

This semester, Su Chaoqi did not spend much time on the snack stand, but instead focused most of his energy on the supernatural training base, so Qin Xin first introduced their current scale.

The main products of the snack stalls nowadays are grilled tofu, fried rice, fried noodles, and the newly added item of rice cakes.

Su Chaoqi was a little confused: "Rice cake? Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Yes," Qin Xin nodded, "You asked me to contact Liu Qingxue before. She brought her family to join the brand and added a product for us."

Su Chaoqi hadn't contacted Liu Qingxue much this semester because Liu Qingxue had sent her a message saying that her father had been sent to the treatment cabin and was completely cured, and there was no need for Su Chaoqi to visit her regularly to provide physical therapy and acupuncture for Liu's father.

This is a good thing, for Liu Qingxue's family and for Su Chaoqi as well. It means that Su Chaoqi will have one less thing to do.

So Su Chaoqi quickly forgot about Liu Qingxue, but he didn't expect that she was absorbed by Qin Xin.

Qin Xin grouped all employees according to the products they sold and established a hierarchical structure to facilitate management.

Su Chaoqi just wanted to listen to these operational matters and get an understanding of them. Yue Ming was bored and supported his chin and listened incoherently.

He knew all these things, and he just wanted to be honest with Su Chaoqi.

After Qin Xin finished explaining the current situation of the snack stand, she asked, "Do you think we should increase the number of products or expand the business area?"

As the business progressed, there were snack stalls at the entrances of all the primary and secondary schools and in the communities in District A of Yanhuang Star, and the money earned every day was considerable. Qin Xin naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and expand again.

Su Chaoqi glanced at Yue Ming and asked, "What does Mr. Yue mean?"

Don't ask her about this kind of thing, okay? She doesn't want to get involved in the decision-making at all, so she directly threw the problem to Yue Ming, he is the one who should make the decision.

Yue Ming was called out, and he yawned lazily before complaining, "Please let me go. I feel like I haven't had a good night's sleep in a year."

Su Chaoqi looked at his eyes, which were not dark or blue at all, and remained silent.

This doesn't look like he didn't get enough sleep.

Speaking of which, Yue Ming is indeed quite miserable. From a playboy, he was forced to work hard to start his own business, and his once carefree and happy life is gone forever.

Su Chaoqi smiled and said, "Since Mr. Yue is unwilling, let's stabilize it for a while. Don't be so anxious."

Qin Xin wanted to speak: "But..."

Okay, this is the conflict of ideas between the two sides. Qin Xin is trying to get her consent. If she agrees, the possibility of persuading Yue Ming will be higher.

Qin Xin's ambition is indeed big, but Yue Ming is a lazy guy who just lies around and does nothing.

If you want to convince Qin Xin, you have to come up with a convincing enough reason. It's useless for Yue Ming to whine and say he doesn't want to work. Qin Xin's whip will only hit him harder.

Su Chaoqi shared the intelligence he knew: "The military may set up a pilot project to build a canteen specifically for retired soldiers. This may have a certain impact on our business. It is better to stabilize it for a while."

Sure enough, Qin Xin sat up straight: "What is it? Tell me in detail."

Su Chaoqi said, "You also cooperated with Aunt Zhuge. The asteroid where they planted rice was actually a test by the military to see if the fixed three meals a day and the reasonable combination of nutrients like in the Blue Planet period could have a good effect on the health of retired soldiers. At present, the answer is yes."

Of course, eating alone will not cure physical problems, but it can contain and slowly repair them.

At least from the data Su Chaoqi saw, everyone's health has improved, and common chronic diseases, such as rheumatism, stomach problems, back pain and leg swelling, have all improved.

After all, my diet has been improved, and I do farm work every day. Although I have the assistance of machinery, it still requires human exercise. So my body will get better slowly.

The military top brass saw the changes and were naturally willing to conduct a pilot project on a larger scale. Mrs. Zhuge has been preparing for this recently.

Then there might be supply problems for Madam Zhuge's goods, because the pilot project on the military side must be given priority, so it is better to maintain the status quo for the time being. Qin Xin pondered for a moment: "In this case, you are right, it is not appropriate to expand the scale of the snack stand now, but can the second young master increase the investment?"

Yue Ming, who was named, opened his mouth and uttered a monotonous sound: "Ah?"

Su Chaoqi couldn't help laughing and turned his head.

Qin Xin’s reaction was indeed quick, but for Yue Ming, it was probably just a case of one thing leading to another.

I thought I had gained some time to slack off, but ended up having an extra job to do.

But Su Chaoqi agreed with Qin Xin's opinion.

Snack stalls are on the demand side, so they have to look at the inventory of goods on the supply side, which is definitely passive in comparison; but the soy sauce, bean paste, fermented bean curd and various soy products made by Yue Ming are on the supply side. The more they produce, the more the other side will buy. After all, the military is not short of that little money.

Yue Ming's soy products are basically only supplied to snack stalls, homestays, Mrs. Zhuge's canteen, and some individual customers, such as Su Chaoqi, who occasionally buy some, but in general, the output is not very large.

Seeing the mask of pain on Yue Ming's face, Su Chaoqi shook her head and gave her advice: "Mr. Yue, why don't you see who can be your partner, whether it's to open another factory or to help you manage it? There must be someone among your friends who is willing to come, right?"

Yue Ming's expression was not very good: "Don't count on them, none of them are useful."

This is... a quarrel with a friend?
Su Chaoqi couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Yue Ming thought about it and told her, "Young Master Yang is getting married and is already choosing a venue and dress."

This was within Su Chaoqi's expectations, and she also thought that she would have to include one in the invitation, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll give them a wedding gift later."

As for the wedding gift, Yue Ming said, "He doesn't want to get married. Well, he doesn't want to marry Chu Bing. He's making a scene at home."

Make trouble? A man without any economic foundation, how can he make trouble? Unless he makes up his mind to run away from home, but as long as his source of income is cut off, he will not be able to leave for a day and will have to go home obediently.

Seeing the sympathy expression on Yue Ming's face, Su Chaoqi and Qin Xin said nothing. It was understandable that they could not empathize with him.

After seeing Yue Ming, he didn't know how to continue, so Su Chaoqi asked, "Then what?"

Yue Ming couldn't say, but Qin Xin had no worries: "Then someone set his sights on you."

Su Chaoqi pointed at himself: "Me? What do they want me to do?"

Qin Xin looked at Su Chaoqi and said meaningfully: "Chu Bing is good, but you are better, aren't you?"

After all, Chu Bing got all the information from Su Chaoqi, which means that Su Chaoqi has control over more means of production.

There are always people who don’t mind getting married and being a parasite, so it’s better to just take Su Chaoqi down.

"Be careful," Yue Ming warned Su Chaoqi seriously, "someone might try to play a chance encounter with you."

So he didn't want his friends to help him. If they had other intentions, it would be very troublesome for both him and Su Chaoqi.

Su Chaoqi is not afraid of these troubles, but troubles are still troubles after all, so it is better to avoid them if possible.

"I don't care who you look for," she waved her hand, "I'm just telling you that this production line still needs to be expanded. Although the demand may not be large at the beginning, it will definitely increase gradually."

Yue Ming responded reluctantly and looked at Qin Xin: "Manager Qin, would you like to ask my brother for some people?"

Qin Xin looked at Yue Ming helplessly: "Second Young Master, you can't always rely on Xiao Yue, why don't you consider promoting some people in the workshop?"

Yue Ming held his head in his hands: It’s so troublesome, why should he do such a troublesome thing?

Su Chaoqi and Qin Xin could not hear his inner wailing. Su Chaoqi said to Qin Xin, "From what my aunt said, this canteen will be set up in the military community, and the business of those snack stands will be greatly affected."

Yanhuangxing’s preferential policy for military personnel to buy houses is as follows: the military unit will designate preferential residential areas, and the military personnel of the unit can enjoy considerable discounts when buying houses in these residential areas. Therefore, the houses purchased by military personnel are now very concentrated, and the residential areas will also be named after the military unit.

Qin Xin listed the locations of their current snack stalls and found that there were quite a few. She asked, "What about recycling the stalls?"

Su Chaoqi proposed her idea: "Why not cooperate and let the snack stand be stationed in the cafeteria."

Qin Xin understood what she meant: "You mean to contract a shop?"

"It's a window," Su Chaoqi corrected, "contract a window."

Whether it's a shop or a window, it doesn't matter what is contracted. Qin Xin thought about Su Chaoqi's proposal and felt it made sense. The only question was whether the canteen was willing to be contracted out to someone.

Su Chaoqi didn't know the answer to this question either. After all, she only knew that there was such a plan, but she felt that she could strive for it.
