After dinner, when everyone helped to clean up the house, Zhou Sanming and his friends went home or had their dates.
Mingyue kept Zhou Chengming and talked to him about tomorrow, oh no, the plans for the future.
These few days Mingyue planned to let Zhou Chengming follow her to familiarize herself with the process, and then customize a slightly larger three-wheeled food truck, preferably with a double decker. Then the two of them would find a place to set up their stall separately.
When Mingyue has enough capital in the future, he will start a store. When the brand is well-known, he will decide whether to open a chain store or something else. That will remain to be seen.
Of course, Mingyue was not a fool. Even if she believed in Zhou Chengming's character, she did not intend to test his nature. Therefore, she planned to control the most important ingredients and sauces of the cold dishes herself, and Zhou Chengming was mainly responsible for cutting and washing vegetables.
When the store is opened in the future and the interests are completely tied together, Mingyue will hand over the things, but not now.
In fact, even if Zhou Chengming really betrayed Mingyue, Mingyue would not be helpless. After all, she had too many things in her hands, and cold dishes were the lowest among them. If Zhou Chengming betrayed her, it would only be his loss.
But Mingyue didn't want to give Zhou Chengming that opportunity.
At this moment Zhou Chengming's heart was still burning with excitement, not only because of the high salary of sixty yuan a month, but also because he saw ambition in Mingyue and a bright future in Mingyue's narration.
He had a premonition that as long as he followed Mingyue, he would have an unexpected life in the future.
The two chatted for a long time that night, until Mingyue couldn't help yawning, and looked down at her watch, only to find that it was almost twelve o'clock.
Mingyue stood up and said to Zhou Chengming with a smile: "Eh? It's almost twelve o'clock. Brother Chengming, let's stop here for today. If we encounter any problems later, we can discuss it again."
Zhou Chengming also stood up: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Mingyue even joked, "Do you remember the way? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
In fact, the place where the two lived was just two corners apart. Zhou Chengming had been in and out several times during the day and was already familiar with the place.
He waved his hand and walked out: "I know the way. You've been tired all day, so you should rest early."
Mingyue agreed with a smile, watched him leave the room, locked the door and went to wash up.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day Mingyue woke up at around five o'clock, washed her face with cold water to refresh herself, took the money with her, put on her backpack and prepared to go find Zhou Chengming.
Who knew that when she opened the door, she found Zhou Chengming waiting at the door.
Mingyue was startled instead. She patted her chest subconsciously and lowered her voice: "Brother Chengming, why are you here so early? You scared me."
Today Zhou Chengming shaved his beard and had his hair specially groomed, and he looked particularly energetic.
Zhou Chengming coughed twice, still a little embarrassed: "I went home last night and couldn't sleep all night, and then I remembered that I forgot to buy a clock. I couldn't see the time and was afraid of delaying things, so I took care of myself and just waited at your door."
Mingyue found it funny. "If you hadn't come, I would have called you. Don't do this again next time."
Zhou Chengming realized that he had gone too far and nodded: "I'll buy a clock and hang it up later, so it won't happen again in the future."
As he said this, he was about to take Mingyue's backpack and put it on his back.
Mingyue didn't let him carry her, but said she would buy another basket at the market later. The two walked towards the market, and Mingyue talked to Zhou Chengming as they walked, such as bargaining, choosing vegetables, and saying nice things, which are all knowledge and very useful if learned.
Zhou Chengming was a man who understood things quickly, and he took Mingyue's words seriously to heart.
Next, without waiting for Mingyue to speak, he went to talk to the owner of the vegetable stall. The price they agreed upon was within Mingyue's expectations. What was even more surprising was that he also agreed with the owner to have the vegetables delivered to his door in the future.
This was what he and Mingyue had discussed last night. Although the price of the goods delivered to the door was three cents higher, it saved Mingyue time and was a sure win.
The vegetables were negotiated, but the meat was not so easy.
The people selling chickens and ducks in the market are different every day. Most of them are villagers from surrounding villages who catch chickens and ducks from their homes and sell them to supplement their family income. The number is not large.
Mingyue talked to the villagers but they failed to reach an agreement, mainly because the quantity she wanted was too large and the villagers could not raise enough. After all, it was not allowed to raise large numbers of chickens and ducks at home these days.
This also gave Mingyue an idea. Maybe he could set up a breeding farm in Zhoujia Village. Whether selling chickens and ducks or processing them into food and selling them, it would be a very promising industry.
And Mingyue is not doing this entirely for her own career, but at most this year, the reform will begin. When the college entrance examination is opened, the state will also support entrepreneurship. Whether it is loan interest rates or economic development, there will be new reforms, which is the best time for the development of self-employed businesses.
There is a mountain in Zhoujia Village which is not too high. As long as you contract and fence off that mountain, it will be a good place to raise pheasants.
The more Mingyue thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and she secretly included this in her plan.
But before that, we still have to solve the current problem first.
The two of them went to several markets before they finally prepared today's meat dishes.
After returning to Mingyue's rental house, the two began to busy themselves with preparing today's dishes.
The division of labor between the two was very clear. Mingyue was busy making the sauce and preparing some sauces, while Zhou Chengming was responsible for handling the dishes and doing other miscellaneous tasks such as making fire.
It is indeed easier for two people to do the work than for one person. Even though there are many more ingredients today, it is still much faster to process than Mingyue did yesterday.
The fragrance rose from above the slumber compound again, waking up the residents who were still dreaming.
Someone glanced at the clock on the wall and said angrily: "You make it smell so good every day, do you want others to go to bed? It's only 6:50. I'm really fed up."
But you can’t control how others prepare food in the morning even if you control everything. At most you can just scold them a few words and then turn over and go to sleep.
Of course I couldn’t sleep, the fragrance was too overbearing and too alluring.
Some people also pushed the woman next to them and said, "Hurry up and go find that vegetable vendor to buy some vegetables so that you can have dinner later."
I tasted this yesterday and I’m still thinking about it today!
Some people rolled over in bed and got up, ready to go find Mingyue to buy groceries. They really couldn't wait.
At this moment Mingyue and Zhou Chengming were packing vegetables. As they were packing, they heard Zhou Chengming's stomach growling.
Mingyue slapped her forehead and then she remembered that they hadn't eaten yet!
