After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich
Chapter 40 Lying down and counting money
Before long, Chen Lao felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
"No." Xu Mengxiao took back her hand and smiled.
"I won't lose."
Mr. Chen was silent for a while and then said: "Then let's compare!"
He knew that his illness was incurable, and he had given up hope long ago. Until now, he was just a worried person, so he did not dare to die easily.
"Paper and pen." Xu Mengxiao asked.
Mr. Chen was stunned, "Don't you feel your pulse?"
"I'm done." Xu Mengxiao secretly laughed. The old doctor was very angry with her, but if he didn't lose his mind, how could he be easily fooled.
"When did you do it?" Mr. Chen suspected that she was teasing him.
"Didn't Mr. Chen even notice when I was talking to you just now?" Xu Mengxiao shrugged, took the pen and paper, and started writing.
Mr. Chen was even more shocked. He felt something, but he thought it was just the beginning. His condition was complicated and serious. How could he diagnose it by just checking his pulse?
Whether he believed it or not, Xu Mengxiao wrote a sheet full of prescriptions eloquently.
This recipe is an ancestral secret recipe passed down from her maternal grandfather's family. At the same time, it must be used dialectically. Unless you have excellent medical skills, you must be cautious.
On the other hand, having so many words written on it really shows that Dr. Chen’s condition is complex and difficult.
Fortunately, Xu Mengxiao had seen two similar cases of patients before, otherwise she would really not be able to accept this apprentice!
"After half a month, the results will begin to show. Then we will discuss the matter of accepting disciples." Xu Mengxiao put down the pen and stood up calmly.
Mr. Chen hurriedly took the prescription and saw the medicinal materials such as "Trichosanthes root, orchid leaf, burdock seed" and other medicinal materials, and knew that she had medical skills, and her medical skills were not shallow, because the medicine was indeed suitable for the symptoms.
But when he looked at it further, his face darkened, "Are you trying to kill me?"
This kid's boldness in using medicine makes him outrageous. If he doesn't pay attention to the dosage and compatibility, he can die directly from the poison!
The most terrifying thing is that with his skill, he can't see what's wrong with the dosage of this recipe.
"Why, Mr. Chen knows that he is going to lose, so he doesn't dare to compete? Afraid of his age, he accepts me, a fifteen-year-old boy, as his master?"
"You don't need to provoke me. I will never use this recipe!" If it weren't for someone extremely important, he could give it a try, but he can't afford it now.
Xu Mengxiao lowered her eyes and said, "Doctor Chen, do you think you can delay it for much longer without using this prescription? You have already used medicine to forcibly extend your life and make your body deteriorate even more, so why should I agree on half a month... …”
"Because without this prescription, Dr. Chen will be bedridden in half a month."
Mr. Chen's eyes were heavy, "That's a bunch of nonsense!"
"Believe it or not!" Xu Mengxiao also seemed to be impatient. He counted with his fingers and found that the mushroom soup in Taoyuan Restaurant was almost ready.
"Here is the life-saving remedy. Whether we live or die, it depends on Mr. Chen's decision." Xu Mengxiao hummed and threw up her sleeves and left.
After going out, I praised my acting skills again. I am really great.
"Hey, little ancestor, you are finally back!" Lin Gui was sweating profusely as he waited, intuitively feeling that the last hope was in Xu Mengxiao, so he eagerly greeted her.
"Calm down, Lin Erdong." Xu Mengxiao seemed to have deep meaning, "otherwise it will be easy for someone with serious intentions to take advantage of you."
Before he even got close to the kitchen of Taoyuan Restaurant, a strong aroma hit his nostrils.
Lin Gui swallowed, thinking that Xu Mengxiao didn't avoid him when cooking this dish, and wondered if she was stupid.
Since ancient times, the concept of "teaching apprentices to starve the master" has been adhered to. Therefore, many dishes and craftsmanship are not easily passed on to others. Even within the family, they only "pass it down from male to female" and maintain the "exclusive secret recipe". This is also the reason for many century-old brands. The reason for its continued prosperity.
In the end, she didn't care.
But how is it possible? Regardless of this, I'm afraid there is a bigger plot.
Lin Gui is not stupid. He has been able to run Taoyuan Restaurant for more than ten years and still has the acumen of a businessman. During the time that Xu Mengxiao left, he had quickly figured out many things.
"Have a taste." Xu Mengxiao happened to be a little hungry, so she poured a bowl of mushroom and chicken soup that was stewed until it was soft but not rotten.
Lin Gui had no doubt that she was eating and drinking. When he took a sip of the golden chicken soup that was enriched with various types of mushrooms, he instantly felt as if he had ascended to heaven!
“So fresh!”
“So delicious!”
"one more bowl."
"Hiccup~" The two of them shared a pot of chicken soup, extremely satisfied.
"Miss Xu, your cooking skills are great!" Lin Gui patted the slightly protruding belly of the general. "This soup will definitely amaze diners, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the price is not low, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell."
After all, the market and audience are here.
"So we have to sell it in a different way."
Lin Gui's eyes lit up, he was much smarter this time, and he immediately invited her to the private room for a detailed discussion.
"It is right to innovate this way. No, your rival Tianxianglou has attracted many businessmen from other places based on this. Businessmen from other places have spread the word of mouth, so their business has become more and more prosperous."
"Innovation is possible, not only in terms of dishes and categories, but also in business models." Xu Mengxiao said for a while, but did not talk in depth. After all, the ancient environment is different from the modern environment.
But there are still places where it can be introduced, such as clay pot soup.
"Order a batch of small earthen jars. A pot of soup like the one we just sold can be sold in ten earthen jars or even more. One pot of soup and half a pot of soup are not affordable for the locals. It may cost one or two and a half taels of silver, but if one earthen jar Soup only costs a hundred cents, and a pot of soup can be sold for ten earthen jars, so more people can afford it, and the price is still the same in the end."
"If we create more categories, such as tea tree mushroom pork rib soup, morel duck soup, chicken and wolfberry mushroom tofu soup, and shiitake mushroom and native chicken soup, there will be more types to choose from. This novel model is also a gimmick."
"Wait a minute, Miss Xu, you spoke too fast. Can you please tell me more slowly and carefully? Why can't I understand something about crock pot soup and tea tree mushrooms?"
Seeing Xu Mengxiao drinking tea with a dry mouth, he hurriedly said: "If this method works, Lin will definitely thank you!"
"But there are too many things involved." Xu Mengxiao gave him a detailed list, "The style and size of the earthen pots, the recipes for various soups, and more business models, especially the sources of these ingredients..."
Lin Gui understood and hesitated: "I wonder what Miss Xu wants?"
"I want the dividends."
"What!?" Even though Lin Gui knew that she was not simple, he was still shocked by her "lion's big mouth".
After all, not long ago, she was just a "low-level" mushroom seller.
But in just a few hours, she suddenly asked him for dividends?
Xu Mengxiao originally only wanted to sell things, but running a small business all the time was too tiring and time-consuming. It would be great to have income that could be paid out on time and count the money!
In addition to investing in shares and dividends, she also buys a village to run workshops and rents out houses and shops. What she can get now, and what a great opportunity is right in front of her, is buying shares and dividends?
"Do you want to bring Taoyuan Restaurant back to life? Do you want to have a bustling business and overwhelm the arrogant Tianxiang Restaurant? Or even open a branch one day and expand the business to Fucheng, the capital, and even Daxing?"
