117: Develop Competitors for the Enemy (7 More)

Donburi has not caught on yet.

Xia Xiaolan realized this later, not only Aunt Huang felt unfamiliar, but there was no shop specializing in donburi in Shangdu.

In order to clean up Zhang Cui's family, Xia Xiaolan also worked hard. Her own cooking skills are average, but she is "well-informed". Where in the country has she never eaten fast food? She didn't go to set up a stall in the morning, she went to the vegetable market early to buy a bunch of raw materials, and also asked Li Fengmei to come to eat at noon.

I went home to wash, cut, and cook a large pot of rice.

The knife is average, and she can cut the carrots evenly if she is not in a hurry. She roasts the mutton with onions and carrots.

Beef stew with potatoes, and Xia Xiaolan's favorite braised pork feet with soybeans.

The smell of spices mixed with the smell of meat, and the fragrance wafted over the wall, which attracted the greed of the neighbors.

The food at Grandma Yu's house is also very good!

Can street sweepers and self-employed people eat so well?

Li Fengmei felt fragrant when she walked to the door. Aunt Huang searched for the address all the way to find Yu's house, and she was shocked when she smelled the fragrance.

"Big sister, are you Xiaolan's guest?"

Li Fengmei was talking to Aunt Huang when the jingle bell rang, and Liu Fen also called off work in the morning.

Aunt Huang had seen Liu Fen, so it really was Xia Xiaolan's house. The three entered the door together, and Xia Xiaolan was ready. She put the rice in a small bowl and pressed it firmly, then put it upside down on the plate, and sprinkled some black sesame seeds on the rice ball, and the appearance immediately improved.

"Sit down, sit down, come and have a taste."

A plate, a ball of rice, a spoon, and then scooping the cooked vegetables on top of the rice, all three of them moved their index fingers.

Isn't that just pouring vegetables over rice?

Whoever doesn't have leftovers at home, everyone has eaten it like this. Vegetable soup mixed with rice can fool a meal. But there are good dishes that you have to pour over rice if you don't eat them. Aunt Huang doesn't understand this way of eating.

Can this make money?

She was skeptical, and picked up a spoon like Xia Xiaolan and put the rice soaked in soup into her mouth. Spices and mutton flavor, after one bite, I couldn't help but eat the second, and I quickly finished a plate of rice. The plate was clean and the final broth was mixed into the rice, not a bit wasted.

Xia Xiaolan also asked Aunt Huang to taste other flavors.

Everyone's appetite is not small, whether it is carrot roast mutton, potato beef, or soy and pig feet, they all take turns to taste it.

Aunt Huang seemed to understand something, but she couldn't organize the words in her heart into sentences, and Xia Xiaolan didn't give a shit.

"Is there anyone eating this plate of donburi with rice and vegetables for 50 cents?"

Aunt Huang first nodded and shook his head, "Of course some people eat it, but how much is a pound of mutton and beef, it's not a loss to sell 50 cents..."

With the word "death" in her mouth, Aunt Huang suddenly thought that she just finished her meal with the soup. In fact, she didn't have a few pieces of meat at all. Where did the feeling of fullness come from after eating a lot of meat?

There are only a few pieces of meat, and it will not be a loss to sell a plate for a few cents.

Seeing that Aunt Huang understood a little, Xia Xiaolan said directly: "In addition to these stewed dishes, stir-fry dishes can also be used to make rice bowls, rice bowls, or noodles. It's one method, but it has ever-changing tastes. "

Xia Xiaolan is responsible for speaking, and Aunt Huang is responsible for nodding.

Even Li Fengmei and Liu Fen were fascinated. It doesn't sound like it's difficult to open a snack bar. Why should such business be handed over to outsiders and not left to one's own family?

Xia Xiaolan also planned this at the beginning.

Now she thinks that the snack bar is too tired, she despises this business, and she is purely looking for trouble for Zhang Cui's store. After training Aunt Huang for two hours, the latter left full of confidence.

"Auntie, this shop is open, I must thank you!"

Aunt Huang is full of praise for Xia Xiaolan, and she doesn't know how other people's daughters are raised. She is smart and likable.

Aunt Huang left, seeing Liu Fen and Li Fengmei puzzled, Xia Xiaolan explained the situation. She didn't want Liu Fen to think of those nasty ghosts in the Xia family again, and she didn't mention the incident of meeting Xia Hongxia at the entrance of the County No. 1 Middle School. Now Xia Xiaolan explained the matter of Zhang Ji's snack bar together, and Liu Fen was scared to hear it - why are those people in the Xia family so haunted?

Will it affect Xiaolan's schooling?

Xia Hongxia likes to compare herself with Xiaolan. If she doesn't have Xiaolan, she will be jealous, and maybe she will go to school and talk nonsense.

Beads of sweat formed on Liu Fen's forehead.

They have all moved to the commercial city, will the original bad reputation still affect Xiaolan? There is also Zhou Cheng, the young man is far away in the capital and doesn't know, if he hears the wind, what should he do if he cares about Xiaolan's previous reputation!

Liu Fen is an indecisive character. She only worries about herself when encountering things. Now her hands and feet are numb.

On the contrary, Li Fengmei was better than her, and she was surprised, but she knew that Xia Xiaolan would not say this for no reason.

She slowly came back to her senses, "...So you taught Mrs. Huang how to make rice bowls, and encouraged Mrs. Huang to open a new store opposite Zhang Ji Snacks?"

Li Fengmei was surprised and delighted, but she felt extremely happy.

If the business of "Blue Phoenix" is good, and someone opens a clothing store next to her, I'm afraid she will be so worried that she can't sleep. Shameless, you should use this method to clean up!

Li Fengmei brought out the Xia family and scolded them over and over, from old lady Xia to Xia Ziyu, men, women and children were not spared.

"Sister Huang's shop must be prosperous, so that Zhang Cui has no time to do bad things to Xiaolan, what are you afraid of, who dares to bully my family Taotao, I have to give her the face, don't you dare to clean it up? Zhang Cui?"

Liu Fen nodded heavily.

From the fact that Xia Dajun was pressed for divorce, Liu Fen also saw the way. Most people in this world are bullying the weak and fearing the tough. It's okay for her to be angry. Xiaolan's studies and future cannot be delayed. If Zhang Cui does anything wrong, she will not only beat people, but also have the heart to stab people with a knife!

"Mom, auntie, don't be too nervous. It's nothing to do with the Xia family. How should we live?"

Xia Xiaolan packed up the rest of the meal, turned the corner and ran to Erqi Road, where Liu Yong was busy with a few workers. The store has been cleaned up, the original ceiling has been removed, and the display cabinet has been lifted out.

The work started together here, and the carpenters and masons did not delay. When the ceilings, walls and floors were reposted, the various shelves made by the woodworkers were almost finished, which would greatly shorten the construction period of the decoration.

Seeing Xia Xiaolan coming to deliver the meal, Liu Yong grinned, then frowned again.

"Xiaolan, you can still buy the small spotlights you mentioned, but the crystal chandeliers are hard to find."

Xia Xiaolan wanted to wear a log style at first, but after thinking about it, she likes the minimalist decoration style, and customers in 1983 may not like it. The Chinese people in the 1980s have become accustomed to the simple style, and the European-style decoration style can shock people.

The wooden floor was replaced with ceramic tiles that are only used in hotel lobbies now, the ceiling is made of solid wood, and the floor-to-ceiling display stands are made of European-style iron.

The ceiling and walls also need to be embossed, and none of the workers Liu Yong hired can do this work, he is trying his best to figure it out.

These problems can be solved slowly. Liu Yong really did not buy the crystal chandelier. Without this lamp, the European style would not be outstanding.

If the decoration style is changed, the budget will definitely be exceeded. The work of carpenters will increase. The tiles on the floor are imitated microcrystalline tiles. The luster is not comparable to that of ordinary white porcelain, and the price is also expensive. It's all money.

It was originally expected that 6,000 yuan would be able to complete the decoration, but now it can be doubled.

"Don't worry, uncle, let the workers eat first. I'll think of a way to get the crystal chandeliers. Next time, I'll see if I can buy them from Yangcheng."

It is normal for the decoration to exceed the budget. The one-time investment is large, but it can ensure that it will not be outdated for a few years.

Xia Xiaolan kept the matter of selling crystal chandeliers in mind, and still went to set up a stall outside the family area of ​​the Railway Bureau.

She has the key to Liu Yong's house, and before she can move the goods out, she sees the young woman who bought the coat the day before yesterday looking out:

"I thought you were out of the booth today, girl, a size smaller than the one I bought the day before yesterday. Do you want navy blue?"
