Lao Niu and Xiang's father argued for a long time and refused to stop, and the argument became more and more vigorous with the help of alcohol.
Mother Xiang and Aunt Niu looked helpless, so they had to smile wryly and said: "Okay, stop arguing, you two, when it comes to doing business, the two of you together are not as good as having a finger in Ting, and there are people here, why are you arguing so stupidly?" ? Ask Tingsheng, see who is right."
"Yes, Tingsheng, tell me." Uncle Niu turned to look at Xu Tingsheng.
"It's okay, Tingsheng, don't worry, it's okay even if I'm wrong." Father Xiang also said, but the anticipation in his eyes still revealed that his father-in-law wanted to be recognized.
Xu Tingsheng was in a dilemma. First of all, his future father-in-law would definitely not be able to offend him, but Uncle Niu seemed like he couldn't be offended either.
"This", Xu Tingsheng thought for a while and said, "Actually, Uncle, and Uncle Niu, what you said is correct. First of all, to a certain level of business operation, to further develop, it is inevitable to expand in scale. Therefore, Uncle Niu That’s right. But I think the best way to expand the scale of a store like ours is not to expand the store, but to build a chain, open branches in different places, or even different cities, and even let people join. Otherwise, it’s just in one In the region, the flow of customers is relatively fixed, and simply expanding the store does not make much sense.”
What he said has gone beyond the original concepts of Father Xiang and Uncle Niu. They thought about it for a while. Branches, chains, franchising, and different cities... Forget about it, Lao Niu has grasped a point anyway. , should be expanded.
"Look, am I right?" Lao Niu looked at Dad Xiang triumphantly and said.
Before Xiang's father could speak, Xu Tingsheng hurriedly picked it up, and said first, "Uncle Niu, actually what Uncle said is also correct, what we are cooking now is home-cooked stir-fry, not too special, so when there are no new things and our own In the case of unique characteristics, it is not feasible to blindly expand the scale, and the risk is too great.”
Dad Xiang's complexion looked better.
Xu Tingsheng's ambiguous answers finally boiled down to one point, that there must be something new.
"Then, make noodles?" Aunt Niu said.
"Then it's better to make dumplings." Xiang Ma said.
"It doesn't seem like there's anything new." Father Xiang thought for a while, then said a little disappointed.
"Don't look at me, I don't even think about it." Uncle Niu simply gave up without thinking about it.
Hearing a few people argue, Xu Tingsheng suddenly thought of something, franchising and franchising are not a problem... braised chicken and rice. In the two years before his rebirth, this thing suddenly came like a spring breeze overnight, and suddenly it bloomed all over the land of the motherland, all over the streets and alleys.
It doesn’t matter how long it lasts, but at that time, it really exploded, and some people even joked that braised chicken rice, Shaxian snacks, and Lanzhou beef noodles were collectively called the three giants of Chinese catering.
Nowadays, Ramen and Shaxian are almost popular, but braised chicken and rice are still kept in boudoir.
If you can learn the relevant skills, operate it, hype it, and then accept the franchise... then it is a bright road to the catering empire.
Thinking of this, Xu Tingsheng said, "Uncle, Auntie, I think unique things must be difficult to find in the market. Maybe some of you need to learn it. And even if you want to learn it, you have to find a lot of sources. So easy."
Xu Tingsheng laid the groundwork first.
"If there are really good things, we will definitely be willing to learn them. We are not people who have never suffered, and difficulties are fine." Dad Xiang said. Keep zooming in.
Hearing what he said, Xu Tingsheng didn't hesitate and said, "Uncle and Auntie, have you heard of braised chicken and rice?"
"What?"
The four people on the spot looked confused.
Xu Tingsheng knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly covered it up and said, "Maybe I misremembered the name, maybe it's called Fragrant Chicken Pot, or something like Chicken Pot Rice with Thick Sauce. Anyway, I know there is such a thing, and someone in Jinan would know it. Let’s do it, let’s inquire first, and then if someone over there is willing to teach, no matter what the conditions are, we will go to two people to learn it, and we will definitely not suffer.”
"Go to Jinan to study?"
"What should I do if I need a lot of money?"
Xu Tingsheng didn't answer, but in his heart, he felt it was all worth it. Although he doesn't like braised chicken and rice that much, from the perspective of business operations, it's really worth it, no matter if it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Because what he envisioned is not just a store, but a brand.
He didn't say these things directly to Xiang's parents and Xiang's mother, and he didn't have a complete idea and too strong will. It was just a thought and he said it casually. All decisions had to be made by Xiang and Niu.
As for whether they can do it or not, and whether they can learn it, it doesn't matter much.
"Then it's fine, just ask someone to inquire about it. If someone is willing to teach you, let's have a meal together. It's delicious and you can spend some money to learn." Dad Xiang expressed his thoughts, not too strong will.
The attitude of Xiang Niu and his family is basically the same. After all, for them, it is just a dish.
Xu Tingsheng thought about it for a while and didn't say any more. It's enough for him to mention this kind of thing here. The rest depends on fate. For him and the Xiang family, maybe it won't have too much impact.

Lu Zhixin had classes all morning on Friday, and after the fourth period ended, she and her roommate just walked downstairs to the teaching building, ready to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Xu Tingsheng's broken crowd stopped by the side of the road.
Of course Lu Zhixin knew this car, the phone rang, and Lu Zhixin picked it up.
"I saw you, did you see my car?" Xu Tingsheng said directly.
"Um."
"Come here, get in the car, and I'll treat you to lunch."
"Ah? Do you need me for something?"
"No, I'll treat you to lunch."
"… good."
Lu Zhixin got into Xu Tingsheng's car amidst the good-natured laughter of her roommates and the spurning voice of "emphasizing sex over friends".
A restaurant in Xishan Town, I remember it was the place where Hucheng held a celebration banquet. Xu Tingsheng and Lu Zhixin sat at a small square table in the corner, and four or five dishes were placed on the table.
In fact, Lu Zhixin was always wondering, but Xu Tingsheng didn't say anything, just chatted and ate normally. After Xiao Xiangning was exposed, Lu Zhixin's reaction was the calmest, which made Xu Tingsheng acquiesce in his heart, thinking that Lu Zhixin had accepted it frankly.
"She is such an objective and calm person with high EQ and IQ, so she should be fine, right? No attitude is attitude." Xu Tingsheng thought so.
When the meal was almost finished, Xu Tingsheng pointed to the leftovers and soup on several plates and said to Lu Zhixin:
"What do you think you can do with the leftover soup?"
