Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 151 Make Money With Confidence

It is not a simple matter to be an embroidery shop. Let alone where the fabrics are purchased from, it is said that the initial start-up capital is not a single amount.

Bai Shao's family now has less than 400 taels of cash on hand, which is probably not enough to rent the shop, hire people, repair the shop, and buy fabrics.

When Mrs. Wu told Bai Shao about her worries in detail, she stood up straight confidently and said loudly, "Mother, don't be afraid, the most important thing now is that you have to embroider the most beautiful clothes." Come, let us be the treasure of the town store."

Wu shi wanted to persuade Bai Shao a few more words, but seeing her high-spirited and confident appearance, she suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.

Forget it, just think of it as making a beautiful dress for the child. It doesn't matter whether the embroidery shop is opened or not, as long as she is happy.

With this in mind, Mrs. Wu took time to go to Xieyang County, the same shop as last time, chose a few pieces of good-looking cloth, returned home, carefully thought out an amazing pattern, and then didn't care about anything else. , Seriously embroider clothes.

Next, Bai Shao began to enthusiastically make a series of preparations for the opening of the embroidery village. First of all, he was looking for a larger shop in Changping. I bought a big shop with two rooms, just two or three shops away from Shiweitian, which is also a very good location.

After that, it was to post a notice to hire an embroiderer, and at the same time disclose the idea of ​​​​opening an embroidery village.

Because Izumo Town is a small place, there is at most a shop that sells needlework or helps with mending, and there is no such high-end stuff as an embroidery shop. Many residents of Izumo Town itself have to go to Xieyang County if they want to buy fabrics.

Now, when I heard that the boss who eats for the sky is going to open an embroidery shop, everyone started talking about it, because most people have eaten the food for the sky, so most people still support the embroidery shop that the Bai family wants to open attitude.

However, there were some twists and turns in the matter of hiring an embroiderer. Because Izumo Town is a small place, there are few people who can embroider, and even fewer people who can embroider well. Those who embroider well can come to apply for embroidery There are even fewer mothers.

In the end, it was Yan Shu who came up with an idea for Bai Shao, asking her to spread the word more and divide wages into grades, so that people who embroider better get more money, and those who embroider less get relatively less money. But Bai Shao is also willing to accept.

In this way, a few women who can embroider finally came to the door.

Bai Shao graded them according to the embroidery she took out, tentatively fixed the monthly wages, and explained that if the embroidery technology improves in the future, the wages will increase.

The women were very pleasantly surprised, because Bai Shao's wages were quite high, so they started publicizing when they got home.

On the second day, more embroiderers came to the door.

Bai Shao and Bai Wei spent a few days to select some embroideries that could catch the eye and have potential, and gave them a certain amount of fabrics, asking them to embroider a batch of clothes at home first, and keep them for opening the door Use it that day.

Xiu Niang has finished here, and the repair work entrusted to Bai Chuanbai in the shop has also come to an end.

The next step is to buy fabrics, but the cash in Bai Shao's family is less than 100 taels.

At such a price, it is obviously impossible to buy a batch of good fabrics to fill the embroidery shop.

But you can't just shelve the more than half of the embroidery shop, right?

For a while, everyone in the Bai family became worried.

Except white peony.

She was full of confidence, raised her hand, and wrote a letter to Fu Jingtang with a not-so-fluent calligraphy brush, handed it to Zhao Long, and asked him to send it over.

That afternoon, Zhao Hu came.

As soon as he saw Bai Shao, he walked over very excitedly, and said loudly, "I have been waiting for half a month, and finally you wrote me a letter. You don't know, since the day you left Xieyang County, I have My heart is burning with urgency, and I want to know how delicious meals you can make for me to taste."

"Some things at home have been delayed, because it's a family scandal and it's inconvenient to talk about it. I'm sorry for keeping Mr. Zhao waiting for a long time." Bai Shao smiled at him, and stretched out her hand to signal him to sit on the chair of Food for the Sky.

Zhao Hu nodded, then sat down with a bang, without any politeness, and cut directly to the topic, "When will the second girl give me a taste of the delicious food you said? You said you would come half a month ago to let me eat it." I'll try it, our boss is still in Xieyang County, and we can make some quick decisions. But fortunately, although the boss is not here now, the boss has given me a certain amount of power, so you don't have to wait too long."

"Then Mr. Zhao has to thank me." Bai Shao couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Bai Shao was teasing him, because Bai Shao's belated "tasting" gave Zhao Hu a certain amount of power.

Although he claims to be "certain power", only he himself knows how big it is.

"Second girl is so smart." Zhao Hu secretly lamented that as an adult, he couldn't turn his head as fast as a little girl like Bai Shao, "But I really have to thank you for this matter, you let me get promoted again." Jie, now I am the deputy manager of Fujing Hall in Xieyang County."

"Mr. Zhao, you're being polite. It's good for me that you've been promoted to be a manager. After all, we know each other well." Bai Shao smiled at him, saw the anxious look on his face, and secretly guessed that he might not have enough time. He didn't talk nonsense anymore, and said bluntly, "I know that Mr. Zhao can't wait to eat, so I have already prepared two dishes for him."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he clapped his hands, he saw Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi walking over from the backyard each carrying a large tightly covered bowl, and placed it in front of Bai Shao and Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu couldn't wait to know how the dishes in these two bowls tasted, whether it was really like what Bai Shao said, and it completely surpassed the taste in Fujingtang.But after all, he is a person who hangs around in the restaurant all the year round, and he knows how to measure many things, so he didn't take off the lids of the two big bowls hastily, but looked at Bai Shao expectantly, waiting for her to uncover the lids. build.

Seeing his movements, Bai Shao confirmed that he was indeed a man of sense of proportion, smiled very satisfied, stretched out her tender little hand, and slowly lifted the cover of one of them.

A scent of soy sauce rose instantly, floating in this small space, and gradually spreading out.

Many people who were originally drinking ramen on the ground couldn't help raising their heads, sniffing around for the source of the aroma, and then most of the people in the shop fixed their eyes on the crimson piece of meat in the white porcelain bowl.

Yes, meatloaf.

It is the kind of meat with layers of fat and lean meat that are particularly clear but closely arranged, with a layer of skin, cut into uniform sizes, and fired into dark red by secret methods. Amazing, now the only difference is the taste.

"Come and have a taste." Bai Shao smiled and handed a pair of wooden chopsticks to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu took it, went directly to pick up a piece of meat with skin and put it on the plate in front of him.Because the meat was stewed very crispy, even though Zhao Hu had already clamped it very quickly, the pork was still a little broken when he clamped it on top of the plate. Zhao Hu knew that it would be difficult to pick it up and put it into his mouth. , he simply lowered his head, abandoned his originally rather elegant image, and started to eat with his face on the plate like a lazy man.

At the first bite, Zhao Hu didn't speak.

During the second mouthful, Zhao Hu still didn't speak.

At the third bite, his eyes narrowed.

By the fourth mouthful, the piece of meat he picked up had already been eaten, so it stands to reason that he should put down the wooden chopsticks to talk to Bai Shao about the dish, but he never thought that he would stretch out the wooden chopsticks and pick up another piece eat up.

After eating three pieces of this meat in a row, Zhao Hu put down the wooden chopsticks in admiration, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the corners of his mouth, then smacked his lips with some aftertaste, narrowed his eyes and said, "Our Fujingtang is also There is this kind of crispy meat, but it’s not as tasty as your meat, and it’s not as crispy. Indeed, as the second girl said, Fujingtang’s dishes are a lot worse than yours. I’m convinced Take it orally. The girl is a genius in cooking."

After finishing speaking, he gave Bai Shao a thumbs up.

Bai Shao smiled embarrassedly, in fact, this dish was not created by herself, but a dish that she imitated based on her past memories.

The reason why Zhao Hu was amazed was that the talents of this age had just been able to eat their stomachs full, and their diet had not reached the extreme, and they were still in a state of development.

In layman's terms, the food is a bit lacking.

So, just had the white peony to flex its muscles.

"Mr. Zhao is over the top. I read the recipe of this dish from an old book, and I didn't create it myself." Bai Shao didn't want to take credit for this dish against his conscience, so It can only be pushed to that mysterious book.

"That's the way it is, but Miss Fangzi from Jiuyuan can still make it, which is amazing." Zhao Hu still admired very much, "After eating this first dish, I want to eat the second dish more and more. It's ready, I wonder when the girl will open it?"

Seeing this, Bai Shao smiled, and didn't hold back anymore, raised her hand to reveal another dish.

It is a completely different dish from the previous one. If the meat in the previous dish was mainly based on the crunchy texture, then this dish is won by the sweet and sour taste.

"This is pork ribs?" Zhao Hu held a piece of meat with wooden chopsticks and put it in front of him. After examining it carefully for a moment, he said, "It should be pork ribs that have been fried, because the corners are burnt yellow, but I don’t know why the yellow color on this body has gone a lot, and it’s a little brown, as if it’s been put on soy sauce.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Shao's answer, he put it into his mouth first. After wriggling twice, the bone was pulled out, leaving only the sweet and sour pork ribs rolling in his mouth.

"Sweet...vegetables." Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, then smacked his lips vigorously, and after swallowing the piece of meat, he said with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that there are sweet vegetables in this world...and It’s still so delicious... With the taste of this dish, those young men and women must like it very much."

"This dish was originally called sweet and sour pork ribs, but I think it's named after Fu Jing Tang, so I shouldn't like this name." Bai Shao smiled lightly, crossed her hands in the direction of her chin, and looked "I don't know how Mr. Zhao evaluates the prices of these two dishes?"

"I don't know if the girl wants to cash in cash, or take the dividends from Fujingtang like ramen and spicy soup?" When talking about business, Zhao Hu gradually became serious.
