It was almost ten o'clock when the father and son prepared the things they will use tomorrow. After a simple wash, the two went to sleep directly. Only by replenishing their energy can they fight a protracted battle!
It wasn't until noon on Saturday, when the students were on weekends off, that Qi Sheng and Qi Xiangdong could have a good rest.
Qi Sheng looked at the older son who was also a bit tired, and said: "You are tired, I will take you to the restaurant to have a good meal tonight!"
Qi Xiangdong nodded, he was busy making noodles and cleaning the ingredients every day, and he couldn't stand the constant rotation, especially at the time of meal, there were so many people around him buying that he couldn't rest for a moment, but thinking about the past few days With the money earned, this fatigue is nothing. Fortunately, the students are on vacation today and tomorrow, so they can also rest.
Qi Xiangnan only had two classes in the morning. After class, he washed the clothes of Qi Sheng and Sheng when he got home. He came here the afternoon before yesterday. He knew that the two of them were very hard-working, so he occasionally came to help with some housework.
When Qi Sheng came back, he saw his youngest son who had washed the dishes and planned to wait for them to come back to cook. Qi Sheng said: "Just make something simple, and I will take you out to eat tonight!"
It was a rare rest, Qi Sheng and Qi Xiangdong lay down on the bed and fell asleep first after eating, Qi Xiangnan cleaned up the dining table and sat reading a book, their medical school courses are very tight and difficult, even he feels a bit difficult, can't To help his father sell food, he had to study harder.
It was two hours after Qi Sheng woke up, looking at his youngest son who was sitting on the bench reading seriously, Qi Sheng walked over and sat beside him, and glanced at his son's textbook, Qi Sheng also had an idea in his mind, but he still asked : "How is it? Can you keep up with the course?"
Qi Xiangnan also talked more and more with his father, and began to tell interesting stories about the first week of school. They are the last month of military training in the freshman year, so the students who started the class directly looked at the full schedule. It's numb, but fortunately, college students nowadays love to cherish learning opportunities, and few even think about skipping classes even if they are under pressure.
Qi Sheng was more at ease with his youngest son's concentration. Looking at Qi Xiangdong who woke up because of their talking, Qi Sheng urged him: "Get up when you wake up, let's go to a movie first, and then I'll take you out to a restaurant !"
As soon as Qi Xiangdong heard that he was interested, he had a good sleep, refreshed, got up, washed his face, shaved his beard and changed into clean clothes before tidying up.
Qi Sheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he looked at the somewhat stinky elder son, and looked at the two tall and straight sons, Qi Sheng was a little proud.
The eldest son is like him, with a tougher appearance, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and regular facial features, he really looks like that when he is not messed up. The youngest son is more like his mother. His first daughter-in-law was originally fair and beautiful, but now she is dressed in crisp clothes, and her brows and eyes are more cheerful during this period. In the 21st century, she is definitely a good little fresh meat !
He took his two sons to a nearby movie theater, chose a good Hong Kong movie, and bought three bottles of soda, before the three entered the screening room.
Movies that can be released in this era have a good reputation. Although Qi Sheng is not used to the shooting quality due to technical limitations, the content is good and he enjoys watching it with gusto.
The two sons were fascinated by watching, Qi Sheng casually turned his head to take a look, most of the people who came to watch the movie were young people in their twenties, people of his "big" age, now come to the cinema to watch movies Definitely a very "fashionable" behavior.
Qi Sheng didn't care too much, looking at the many young men who were courting the girls around him, he finally understood why his eldest son was so excited! How could I forget that the movie theater is the favorite date place for couples nowadays!
A movie gave Qi Xiangdong a dream goddess. Qi Sheng looked at his eldest son who couldn't help but want to buy a few posters, and said helplessly, "Go eat first, and buy when you come back!"
The father and son found a good restaurant nearby, ordered a few big dishes, and ordered a few bottles of beer, and had a hearty meal.
On the way back, looking at the elder son who was turning the corner and running to buy posters, Qi Sheng couldn't help but make black lines.
The next morning, Qi Xiangnan was reading a book at home, Qi Xiangdong didn't know where to go wandering, Qi Sheng wandered around the neighborhood with nothing to do, thinking about the future development while walking, and didn't go home until noon.
After eating and resting, Qi Sheng took his two sons to a nearby wholesale market and bought another batch of flour and ingredients.
It will be like this every week after that, Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday morning are their rest time, and the rest of the time is spent busy, but busyness also means good business and more money!
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, Qi Sheng and Qi Xiangdong came to their stall as usual, and noticed someone peeking at him, Qi Sheng followed his feeling and looked, it turned out that there was another shop selling roujiamo!
Qi Sheng didn't really care too much, the daily sales volume of their father and son was not enough, even if there were one more family to sell, at most it would not be as fast as before.
On the other hand, Qi Xiangdong followed his father's line of sight, seeing the similar cart and shape, and couldn't help but his eyes spit fire.
"Dad, look at them!"
"What's the matter? Look, there are several steamed stuffed buns nearby."
Although Qi Xiangdong felt uncomfortable, but looking at his father's unusually calm appearance, he thought about it or forget it, just like what his father said, Roujiamo is not unique to his family, so why not let them sell it.
Fortunately, the taste of their family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his father has improved a lot during this time. Even if there is an additional family, it will not have a big impact on their business. If the sales are really slow, they will reduce some materials appropriately.
But after a period of time, Qi Sheng looked at the older son who was depressed because of the reduction in the amount of sales, and comforted him: "This is the case with food sellers. If you keep selling the same thing, there will inevitably be no competitors. Some food can't imitate you. You can learn 60% or 70% of it, add some other people's own characteristics, and it can become a unique taste."
"Dad, what's the use of saying this? Our family is forced to sell less now!" Although the original six or seven hundred copies have been reduced to more than five hundred today, Qi Xiangdong still feels a little uncomfortable, and he can't wait to make some small purchases. Means to squeeze people away.
Seeing that his son was not working as hard as before, Qi Sheng relieved him: "I said this to tell you, don't just watch over an old hen laying eggs, besides, think about it, the two of us worked the most It can also sell more than 700 copies, and the money I earn every day has already reached its peak, so I should think about finding other ways!"
"Dad, do you have any ideas?" Qi Xiangdong has been sensible during this time, and now he can't help being curious after hearing what his father said.
Qi Sheng made up his mind to bring up the eldest son, and the younger son will become a doctor in the future, so he won't have much time to run the business. Qi Sheng has already decided that most of the money he earns from investment will be left to the younger son. Give him a way to make money and have a steady stream of income, so he doesn't care about the assets he left for his youngest son.
Qi Sheng didn't answer him, but instead asked: "You have also been in Beijing for a few months, do you have any ideas?"
Qi Xiangdong thought for a long time, and hesitated: "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to open a restaurant at the beginning! But I looked at it, and opening a small restaurant may not necessarily make more money than we do now, and if the taste won't suit the preferences of the people here, There are certain risks."
Qi Sheng felt that what his son said made sense, and continued to ask: "Is there any more?"
"Ah? I... I can't think of it for a while, but I want to be in the wine business. Dad, you don't know how much alcohol is consumed in those small bars every day, and in those movie theaters, the sales of soda drinks are very large. Just A bottle of tasteless water will overwhelm us with a Roujiamo! If we can do this kind of business, we can make more money than selling Roujiamo every piece!"
Qi Sheng found that his son could find some money-making ideas when he was free to go out to play. He was a little satisfied with his son's current growth, so he said: "That is indeed a bit far away, but it may not be impossible to do it in the future."
Qi Sheng didn't make things difficult for his son anymore, his skills and vision were limited, so it would be nice to have some ideas, "I'm planning to take over the small shop opposite the school gate, and we'll sell some lo mei, Roujiamo and fried chicken cutlets in the future."
The small shop opposite was a small clinic before, but after the doctor quit the lease, Qi Sheng started to think about it. He planned to make the lo mei into a chain store, and he would first use Roujiamo and fried chicken cutlets to attract students, and then he tried it. The lo mei is naturally addictive, and there is a large flow of students here. After bringing the lo mei to the family to taste, there is no need to worry about not having repeat customers.
Besides, he is very good at making lo mei, and the marinade he prepared will not be imitated casually like Roujiamo.
Qi Xiangdong's eyes lit up, he had eaten a lot of lo mei made by his father, and the taste was really good, why didn't he expect it!
He didn't bother about the less-sold meat buns, and sped up his hands to reconcile the noodles in the basin. Qi Xiangdong began to ask his father about the detailed plan.
"Don't worry, the store is not big. It's a bit small to open a small store. Opening a restaurant is better than setting up a stall to make money. So there are not many people asking. I went to the landlord two days ago, but the landlord was a little hesitant at the time. , Wait for another two days, if he still doesn't come to me, I'll go to him again!"
Qi Xiangdong didn't expect that his father had already made a plan, and couldn't help being a little excited. Soon they will have their own shop here!
Unexpectedly, the landlord found them the next day, but this is a prime location after all, the landlord didn't want to sign for too long no matter what, they only signed a one-year contract in the end, Qi Xiangdong couldn't help frowning when he looked at the contract: "Dad , if our business is good, what if the landlord takes the opportunity to raise the price!"
Qi Sheng comforted: "It's okay, one year is enough, our family's lo mei is famous, and we will open two branches in other places by then, so we don't have to worry about staying here for a long time."
Qi Xiangdong looked at his father who said that opening a branch was just like playing: "..."
His father really thinks farther than him forever!
