What he said was exactly Jiang Xiao's plan.
In many cases, having a collaborator with the same ideas can really save a lot of trouble.
In fact, Jiang Xiao has already started working on this matter, and he is currently choosing the style of the membership card. There are quite a lot of member management system software on the market, and they are not complicated. After the programs and supporting facilities are installed in the cash register computers of the three stores, the member system of Unlimited Choice can be used.
Although some customers hate the merchant's phrase "get a membership card", in many cases, a store's membership system is indispensable, and its advantages and benefits are too many.
Precise push, customer stickiness, discounts for different customers, rewards for shopping points, and even cash flow from customers’ pre-recharge, so not only big companies and supermarkets, but also many small stores also engage in membership.
Jiang Xiao’s plan is step-by-step. He chose to start with a physical store because he is familiar with this industry and is steady and steady. After all, although many plans are grand, it is still difficult to realize them. , He can still take a step back, at least the foundation of the physical store is still very solid.
"Then let's be like this for today, you should go back early," Jiang Xiao said to Fu Ruoyan, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are no people in the mall, so go home, I will close the store tomorrow, and come back after the year. "
Anyway, I can't make much money by opening a shop now.
As soon as he said to go home, Fu Ruoyan didn't show any joy on his face.
The clerks in the store are all on vacation and going back to their hometown for the New Year. The only people staying here these days are Jiang Xiao and Fu Ruoyan. There are few customers, and the two of them sit and chat most of the time.
Fu Ruoyan didn't have any desire to go home. His relationship with his family was hard to describe. After he suspended school, he didn't go back once in the past three years. His so-called going back was nothing more than going back to the rental house, which was meaningless and might as well be in the shop.
There is Jiang Xiao in the store.
Jiang Xiao comes here every day. He has time during the school holidays. Seeing that Fu Ruoyan has been eating takeaways, he will often bring him meals at noon and evening.
Although a person surnamed Lin often came to find Jiang Xiao for various reasons, it was a very happy thing to finish eating Jiang Xiao's cooking under the jealous eyes of the other party.
Jiang Xiao also seemed to see that he was not in high spirits.
"Let me treat you to a meal." Jiang Xiao pulled him out naturally, "I just happened to be hungry too."
Many restaurants outside were closed, so the two wandered around and found a dumpling shop.
The taste of this restaurant is mediocre, Fu Ruoyan thought while eating, it's not as delicious as Jiang Xiao's.
After the dumplings were finished, the weather outside was not good, and it started to rain lightly again.
The raindrops in winter are very cold, Jiang Xiao rummaged through and took out an umbrella from his bag.
He glanced at Fu Ruoyan and asked, "Shall I take you back?"
Fu Ruoyan shook her head subconsciously, she wasn't a little girl and needed someone to send her back.
But when he shook his head, he felt a little regretful.
He wants to stay with Jiang Xiao for a while longer, the store is closed today, and we will have to wait until the entire Spring Festival holiday is over to see him again.
"There is only one umbrella, so you go home with me first, I just have something for you," Jiang Xiao said, "My house is not far away, it only takes fifteen minutes to go back by bus from here, don't you rush back ?”
Fu Ruoyan did not refuse this time.
The bus station was still a distance away from the dumpling shop. Jiang Xiao hid the two of them with an umbrella. There was only a little space under the umbrella, and the two of them were very close.
Fu Ruoyan felt the heat coming from Jiang Xiao's body again, it was warm.
Why is this person so warm
He couldn't figure it out.
The bus at night was also empty, and there was no one there. Jiang Xiao searched in the schoolbag he was carrying, and found another bag of candy.
"for you."
Fu Ruoyan honestly reached out to take it.
"I tasted it a few days ago, and I want to put it in the snack cabinet. Some of this brand of sugar are delicious and some are mediocre. I have tasted it for a long time, and my teeth hurt."
It is a foreign brand, but a new factory has just been built in Liujiang. Jiang Xiao found this after searching for a long time at the distributor. It is not well-known in China. That bag of candy is delicious. several.
"Peach milk flavored fudge is the best," Jiang Xiao said, "I'll try it for you."
Fu Ruoyan hadn't eaten candy for a long time, he tore off the pink and white candy wrapper, the peach-flavored candy was sweet and not greasy.
With that taste in his mouth all the time, he went to Jiang Xiao's house.
Xia Wanwan was busy with work on weekdays, but she would go home no matter what when the festival was approaching. After seeing him, she was also very enthusiastic, so she hurriedly called him in.
As soon as the door of Jiang Xiao's house was opened, warm yellow lights spread out from inside.
"Sit down for a while," Jiang Xiao said, "at least wait until the rain stops before leaving."
Fu Ruoyan sat on the sofa, and he seemed to have quickly discovered Xia's mother's bear complex.
The slippers Jiang Xiao wore had bear heads, and a plush blanket was placed on the sofa, which also looked like a little brown bear.
Jiang Xiao poured him a cup of hot water, then went to the refrigerator to search for it.
Holding the cup of hot water in his hand, Fu Ruoyan saw that he found a thermal bag, put the frozen ice pack in it, and filled a big bag for him.
"What is it?"
It's heavy to carry.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat takeaway a few days ago?" Jiang Xiao said, "When I was young, my mother and I made a lot of food together, including meatballs, some snacks, and dried meat snacks. , I have made too many, just for you, some can be eaten directly, and some can be eaten simply by cooking or steaming."
Fu Ruoyan had sugar in his clothes bag and the food Jiang Xiao gave him in his hand. He didn't know what to say. When he left Jiang Xiao's house, the rain outside had stopped.
The next day he began to try steaming and eating by himself.
Inside the bag were small buns made by Jiang Xiao, stuffed with meat, and stuffed with red bean paste. Although Fu Ruoyan didn't know how to cook, Jiang Xiao took care of everything. He just sat in the water and steamed the frozen stuff. Just cooked.
The buns are very small, only half the size of a fist, and when you bite into them, the gravy flows out. The bean paste filling is also soft, sweet but not greasy.
It may be that Jiang Xiao gave him some blind self-confidence for this culinary rookie, and he ate up the super delicious buns on the first day, Fu Ruoyan, who was very successful in steaming for the first time, felt a little swollen.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and he was alone in the house, trying to get himself something fancier to eat.
There were fish balls in the bag. Jiang Xiao suggested that he have a hot pot on New Year's Eve. The big supermarket is still open during the daytime on New Year's Eve. Go inside to buy a hot pot base and buy some fresh vegetables. Just cook and cook.
Jiang Xiao used to eat like this when he was alone at home, and he was able to eat while watching TV, very happy.
But Fu Ruoyan searched on the computer, planning to make himself a seaweed fish ball soup, and Jiang Xiao also gave him a pack of small wontons, which should be delicious in the soup.
It is said on the Internet that seaweed and fish ball soup is super simple, and even a fool can make it. Fu Ruoyan took a look at it and felt that it was indeed very simple. He recited the steps after a few glances.
Then he fired with confidence.
At this point, Jiang Xiao was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at his home. He and Xia Wanwan couldn't eat much. Every time he made the portion smaller so that he could eat a few more dishes, he suddenly received a call from Fu Ruoyan.
After Jiang Xiao connected, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter something?"
Fu Ruoyan on the other side of the phone was suspiciously silent for a while.
Then Jiang Xiao heard him ask: "Well, Jiang Xiao, let me ask you, an appropriate amount of salt, a little chicken essence, a little pepper, a spoonful of lard after cooking... How much is this appropriate amount, a little, a little? A spoonful... How big is the spoon?"
Jiang Xiao: "... what are you going to do?"
Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after getting the reply of seaweed fish ball soup, this soup is very simple.
"Don't be nervous," Jiang Xiao said, "When I made fish balls, I put salt in them, and seaweed also has a salty taste, so you don't need to add a lot of seasonings, so if you really can't control it, find someone A coffee spoon, put it in little by little."
There are no video calls on mobile phones these days, and Jiang Xiao is not very good at describing the quantity to him intuitively. He simply suggested that the other party take it slowly. If you can’t grasp the quantity, put it first. Take your time to find the right taste.
Cooking this soup is still very fast, with Jiang Xiao patiently teaching him on the other side of the phone, Fu Ruoyan is not so nervous anymore.
The seaweed became very large after cooking. He cooked a big pot of soup. The pot he used was a medium-sized pink crown pig-shaped soup pot sold in Jiang Xiao’s shop. It was full, and Jiang Xiao was put in it. The small fresh meat wontons, and the spoonful of lard added when they come out of the pan are also just right and very fragrant.
According to what Jiang Xiao said, he put a layer of heat-insulating cloth under the soup pot. This time he didn't bring it to the dining table, anyway, he was the only one in the rented house. Whatever he did, he brought it to the coffee table in the living room, and then He simply sat on the carpet, and after the TV was turned on, the warm-up program for the Spring Festival Gala began to play inside.
Jiang Xiao asked on the phone: "Is it delicious?"
The fish balls are well made, and they are very springy when biting into the mouth. The small wontons are also good, fresh and sweet.
There are other things in the bag that Jiang Xiao gave, which can be eaten directly. There are pickled sour ginger radishes, which are crispy and delicious, very appetizing, and Jiang Xiao’s Dengying beef shreds, placed on a few plates beside The side dishes are also amazing.
"It's very delicious," Fu Ruoyan sighed sincerely, "Thank you, Jiang Xiao."
Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "It's fine if you like it. Also, Fu Ruoyan, thank you for helping me during this time. I wish you a happy New Year's Eve."
Fu Ruoyan knows a lot of people. He has received a lot of happy new year text messages this year, and he has also received phone calls. He may or may not answer them, but no one else has made him feel warm like Jiang Xiao's words.
This call couldn't keep going, after Jiang Xiao hung up, about five minutes later, another call came in.
The name displayed on the phone is "Fu Zonglin".
Fu Ruoyan's expression changed instantly, and the smile on his face was no longer so natural. He stared at the name for a while, and then picked it up at the last moment.
On the other side was a female voice, which sounded very gentle and gentle: "Ruoyan? You finally answered, thank God, today is New Year's Eve, don't fight with your dad, go home and eat quickly, your brother is also very happy at home." Miss you, let's not worry about the previous things, we are all a family... "
When she mentioned the family, Fu Ruoyan couldn't help but sneer.
"... want me to go home for dinner? A family?" He sneered, "I think you want me to die outside and never come back?"
The female voice on the phone stopped talking, and seemed to let out a sob in distress. At this time, the male voice he was familiar with came from the other side.
"How do you talk to your Aunt Chen? What's your attitude? You just..."
Fu Ruoyan didn't want to listen anymore, he hung up the phone, and then quickly turned off the phone.
Fu's family is in Shencheng, and he is in Lishi. It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and his car has long since disappeared. I really want him to go back, and will call at this time
It's better to live by yourself than to go back.
His fish ball soup will be cold if you don't drink it, why do you care about Fu's family's New Year's Eve dinner? It's the same every year, it's unpalatable, but the one he made himself is delicious enough.
The Spring Festival Gala on TV started soon. The program was not very innovative, but it was beaming. He sat there alone. After eating, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and sat on the carpet lazily. Yes, after thinking about it, I reached out to the coffee table to get some sugar.
There are still two peach milk fudge that Jiang Xiao gave. Fu Ruoyan usually doesn't like candy, but he likes this one very much.
