Chương 175: New plan
Qibao saw Xiaoliu's appearance, and didn't say anything, Sixth brother's nature is to change, not knowing the sharpness of the edge at all.
Turning to the twelve guards beside her, she asked: "It's your first day at the academy today, are you all getting used to it?"
Yueyang said with a smile: "Miss, we can all get used to it, and we even know several words today!"
"Well, that's good, but no matter how good your memory is, it's better to take notes and write down the words Master taught you several times at night." Qibao said.
"Yes, I understand, miss!"
Xiaoliu shrugged his nose at this time and said: "Sister, something smells so good? Is there something delicious again?"
The old man glared and said: "Your nose is as sharp as a dog's. Wait until your brother and the others come back to eat together."
"Oh." Xiaoliu was a little aggravated as to why grandpa was always scolding him, and could only go off to the side holding Xiaoba alone in his sorrow.
It wasn't long after, a few of her brothers were also picked up, and as soon as they entered the door, they could smell the aroma emanating from the fondue pots.
Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin brought all the prepared vegetable and meat slices to the table.
The rest of the family, seeing that the table was set with some lettuce, thought they were having a barbecue, but then they saw a pot of red soup on the small stove and were somewhat unable to understand.
Kui Wu had just returned from driving the carriage, and his body was really cold due to the wind. When he saw this pot of red soup with chili peppers on it, he wanted to take a few bites to warm himself up.
Qibao said: "You all have them, I made two pots, so let's all try the flavors."
The servants were very happy, their master was too good to them, they had a share of any good food, and never treated them harshly.
Xiaowu asked: "Sister, how do you eat this?"
Qibao made a demonstration, took a slice of meat and put it into the pot to cook, and when the meat was cooked, she immediately took it into a bowl and ate it.
It's not as good as modern hot pots, but it's rare enough to be able to eat this in ancient times, and the flavor isn't too bad either, with its numbing spiciness and the freshness of the chicken broth.
Others are following the same example, but fortunately everyone in my family can eat spicy food.
Mrs. Zhang took a bite and immediately fell in love with this way of eating, saying: "This is no worse than barbecue, and it's more convenient. You can just put it in and cook it before you eat it. It tastes really good!"
The old man said: "Yes, this is called hot pot. It is most suitable for eating in winter. One bite will warm your body."
Xiaoliu wiped away his previous unhappiness and sucked on the spicy food, not to mention how delicious it was.
Qibao asked Mei Niang to make a cup of jam water for everyone with cold boiled water, which was just right to relieve the spiciness.
By the time Qibao was full, but the others were still eating, Uncle Xu's brothers had already eaten with sweaty foreheads, a change to drink jam water, while gulping down slices of meat into their mouths, and eating them with great vigor.
For some reason, Qibao felt particularly satisfied and happy when she saw this scene. She didn't know where this feeling came from.
When all the dishes on the table were finished, everyone stopped using their chopsticks and touched their stomachs. Their mouths were all red from the spicy food.
"It's refreshing! It's so enjoyable!" Kui Wu's voice came from the table next to her. At this time, he was touching his stomach, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and drank the remaining jam water in the cup in one gulp.
Qibao suddenly thought, this hot pot is so popular with her family, and it's not far from winter. If she puts this hot pot business out there, this business will definitely not be wrong.
Qibao took advantage of the fact that everyone was there, so she spoke her thoughts.
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She felt that the hot pot was so delicious. If the business was successful, there would definitely be many customers.
The old man thought better of it and said: "The hot pot business is indeed possible, but there is no extra manpower at home, and there are no shops available. How about we go to the town tomorrow to have a look?"
Qibao said: "No! Grandpa, even if we are going to do this business, we definitely won't do it in the town, I'm going to do it in Qingyun City!"
"What? Qibao why would you want to go to the town to do this business? From Xujia Village to Qingyun City, even if you take a carriage in the morning, you can't get there until the evening!" The old man said.
Huamen Town was just one of the towns under Qingyun City, where there were many people and large places, and it was not a simple matter to go there to do business.
"Grandpa, listen to me first. Since we are going to do something, we must get everything ready before winter. And the food market in Huamen Town is already saturated. We have our barbecue restaurant and Zuixianlou, which is enough. I also want to leave a way for other small restaurants and the like to survive. The reason why I want to go to Qingyun City to do this business is because I want to get our Xu family's brand out there so that our Xujia Village tourism base will get better publicity in the future. This is the best of both worlds!"
The old man thought for a while and said: "Then you need to find a suitable person to do it. I don't think anyone in our family is suitable for this business."
Xu Zhiyong listened to his grandfather's words and shook his hands secretly under the table. He wanted to say something but didn't say it. His expression was a little tangled, but it only took a moment and he soon returned to normal.
Qibao noticed it, but she didn't ask. Since the second brother didn't choose to say it, she didn't want to ask. She would talk to the second brother privately later.
"Then find someone else, I think of a suitable candidate!" Qibao said.
"Who?"
"How about Mr. Qian? He is also a good businessman. It just so happens that he wants to cooperate with our family, right?" Qibao asked.
"Master Qian is indeed good, but what are we going to pay him?" The old man asked.
"I have already thought about it. We will meet Master Qian for an interview tomorrow." Qibao said.
"Since you've already thought about it, then grandpa will support you, but just one Master Qian isn't enough, right? There has to be a couple of fighters to watch over the venue, and if you run into those troublemakers, there will be someone to solve them as well!" The old man said.
Qibao thought that grandpa's idea was very good, she felt that grandpa was getting the hang of it quite quickly, it seems that in the future she would need to discuss things with grandpa more often.
"Master, Miss, I have someone I know, so if you trust me, you might as well give it a try." Kui Wu, however, spoke up at that moment.
"Oh? Do you know Kui Wu? Who he is, please tell me first!" Qibao asked.
"Yes, miss, do you still remember what I did before?"
"Remember, you used to help people transport goods, so you should be considered an escort, right?"
"Yes, but we can't call them escorts. Real escorts have identity certificates issued by the government. We are just a small team. What I want to say is that the brothers who worked with me as escorts all know some martial arts, why not give them a try?" Kui Wu said.
"Can you contact them? Are they reliable?" the old man asked.
"I know where they live, we have a very good relationship, and they are all loyal people." Kui Wu said.
"Okay, then you will take me to meet them tomorrow. If they are suitable and willing, I will not let them work in vain. I will reward them." Qibao said.
"Many thanks, Miss! I'll take Miss to them tomorrow!" Kui Wu was very happy, since the last shipment went wrong and he sold himself to cover the debt, his brothers no longer work in this industry and are probably helping others to make a living.
The old man said: "Qibao, grandpa will go with you tomorrow. It just so happens that grandpa hasn't been to town for a long time!"
