Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 242 Sister-in-law Wants to Open a Shop

"Arui, what do you think?"

The second brother and his wife were obviously moved by A Zu's words, but after a moment's hesitation, they decided to ask Kang Qirui for his opinion. Kang Qirui was originally playing with his daughter, and was stunned when he was suddenly asked, while others stared at him, wanting to see what he would say.

"I think we should sell it to the four old customers." Kang Qirui said without hesitation. A-Zu raised his arms and shouted, while A-Yao and Big Brother Guang wanted to argue. Kang Qirui waved his hand, signaling them to listen to him, "A-San, whether you bought it for Director Zhao or Director Zhao bought it himself, in the end it was given to the director, right? What can you do about it? Big Brother, as A-Zu said, Brother Niu has never seen what the stone looks like, so he won't have any regrets if he can't buy it. He might forget it the next moment. So the best thing is to sell it to the four old customers, and be quick, because they may not be able to wait, and they may leave Guangzhou tomorrow."

"That's right, A-Zu, we will sell it to you. You contact your customer now and we will do the deal tomorrow." The second brother thought it made a lot of sense after hearing it, so he made the decision.

Upon hearing this, A Zu wanted to use his home landline to call his client, Mr. Huang, but the landline rang first. "Hello? Brother Niu? Wait a minute, I'll let the boss answer the phone." A Zu was a little hesitant to talk to Brother Niu, so he quickly handed the phone to the boss Guang Lai.

"Hello, Brother Niu, what's up? Oh, OK, OK." The eldest brother picked up the phone and started talking to Brother Niu. After he put down the phone, he said to the second brother, "Brother Niu said he saw a stone in Yuzhou and he doesn't want your stone anymore. He asked me to talk to you."

Er Lao nodded, and he no longer had any psychological burden. He urged A Zu to call his clients. At Er Lao's urging, A Zu made an appointment with Mr. Huang to come to Kang's house to trade tomorrow morning.

The transaction went very smoothly the next day. Mr. Huang seemed to really like this "Fortune in Front of You" and paid for it very readily. Before leaving, he said, "Kang Sheng, I have always said that I have a connection with this stone. I will take a plane to Germany on a business trip this afternoon, but you said last night that you would sell this "Fortune in Front of You" to me. It seems that my business trip will be very smooth and I will have good fortune in front of me."

"Hahaha, then I wish Mr. Huang a smooth business trip and make a lot of money." The second brother said politely and sent Mr. Huang out of the Kang family.

The second brother, who had made a lot of money, originally wanted to give everyone extra meals at night, but many people said they were too busy to go home for dinner, and even the nanny Xiu Gu had to go home for something, so he had to change the time for extra meals to the weekend. And tonight, only the eldest sister-in-law cooked noodles for everyone.

"Second Brother, are you kidding me? You earn tens of thousands of dollars and then just watch us eat noodles?" Kang Qirui didn't dislike eating noodles, he was just teasing Second Brother.

The second brother cried out in injustice, "Hey, hey, hey, why do you want me to watch you eat noodles? I'm just eating noodles too, little brother. I said today that we would have extra meals, but none of them were available and Xiu Gu also went home. What can I do?"

"Since the others are busy, you can treat me, Ah San, and Lao Dou's mother separately." Kang Qirui continued to tease, "Don't say I'm ripping you off. Go to the street corner and chop a roast goose for everyone to mix with noodles. That's not too much, right?"

"That's right, a roast goose is only a hundred yuan, Er Lao, hurry up." A Yao also said, Er Lao didn't waste time with everyone, agreed readily, stood up and walked towards the street. The main reason was that he didn't want to eat white noodles for nothing.

Xianglan finally brought out all the noodles. She introduced them, "Today I made both southern noodles and northern noodles. Please give me your advice."

"People always say that we Cantonese people love rice, not noodles. You know what, if noodles are well made, they are pretty good and delicious." Seeing that everyone seemed not very happy to eat noodles, the old man smiled and said. "The noodles made by my sister-in-law are really good, the ones sold outside are not as delicious as this." After taking two bites, A Yao really thought that the noodles were very good, so he took the initiative to praise them.

Xianglan was delighted when she heard this. "I asked the chef at the restaurant for advice and combined it with the noodle-making method from my hometown to make this noodle. Isn't it pretty good?"

"Not bad, not bad. It's really delicious. I think sister-in-law can open a wonton noodle shop of her own. There will definitely be a lot of people patronizing her." The old man continued to praise.

The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. The reason why Xianglan has been asking the chefs for advice on how to make noodles is that she wants to open a noodle shop of her own. The main reason why she has this idea is that after Ruhao Tea Restaurant started the franchise model, it established a catering management company and started computerized office.

Neither she nor the boss know how to use computers, so they have no way to get a job at the catering management company. They can only stay at the store to work, and even if they have shares, they cannot break the salary structure and can only receive the salary of store staff. In short, their income level has remained stagnant and has not increased with the development of the company.

Therefore, she decided to open a noodle shop. The couple had been in the catering business for a while and had both the experience and resources.

But Da Lao Guang was not very interested in this. When the two talked about this in the room at night, Da Lao Guang disagreed: "Opening a store by yourself? It's very troublesome and troublesome. There are many things to take care of. If it's not done well, it will lose money. Isn't it good now? We work in the store, and A Zong will take care of the development. We get salary during the week and dividends at the end of the year. The overall annual income is not bad."

"I knew you were like that." Xianglan looked angry. "Why don't you have any sense of adventure? I'm not opening a big restaurant now, I'm just opening a small stall. We've been working in the tea restaurant for so long, there's nothing we don't know? How can it be so complicated?"

The boss nodded, "That's right, opening a small shop doesn't require a lot of manpower or a lot of capital."

"That's what I'm saying. Besides, husband, you're already in your forties. If you don't take a chance now, how else will you have a chance? Besides, when we open a store, we just won't work in the store anymore. We haven't said we're going to withdraw our shares. Even if we don't make money from the store, we'll still get dividends." Xianglan and Da Laoguang continued to analyze that they didn't have to take any risks when opening a store, and they had a way out.

"Well, what you said does make sense. Then do you know how to open a noodle shop?" The boss agreed in principle to go out and open the shop, but some details still need to be confirmed.

"Of course I know. The most important thing for running a noodle shop is the soup base. I have already asked the chef in the store about the soup base. You also know that the best-selling item in our store is wonton noodles. I have already got the soup base recipe. As long as we improve it a little bit, our noodle shop will definitely be successful." Xianglan said confidently.

"Improvement? Are you still not satisfied with the soup base? How else do you want to improve it?" Big Brother Guang asked doubtfully.

"You don't understand this, do you?" Xianglan said with a smile, "You Cantonese people pay attention to freshness and fragrance when it comes to food. The soup base used in tea restaurants is fine, but it won't work in noodle shops that only sell noodles. It's not fresh enough and not fragrant enough. So I thought I'd start with the raw materials first. We're willing to spend a little and upgrade the raw materials according to the current formula. For example, we used ordinary dried fish, but we use high-grade dried fish."
