The family matter was settled. After having breakfast, Lin Xi went to the county department store with the newly made rouge and red pepper.

She left not too early, and it was almost noon when she arrived at the county.

The department store was really open. Lin Xi went in and took a look. Xu Wu was settling accounts behind the counter, and Xu Qi had just finished entertaining the guests.

"Master!"

When the two brothers saw Lin Xi, they quickly said hello.

Lin Xi motioned for them to continue and went to move things by himself. After a while, Xu Wu ran out and Ma Liu helped move them together.

Lin Xi first went to the backyard to sort out the inventory, and directed Xu Wu to put some of it on the cabinet outside so that it would not be empty.

Rouge has just been put on the shelves, and many repeat customers who passed by have come in to buy it.

After Lin Xi entertained this group, he had time to sit down and rest.

"Master, what is this? It looks like vegetables." Xu Qi pointed to the red pepper that had just been put on the table and asked doubtfully.

Some customers were curious about it just now, but none of them bought it, which made Xu Qi very puzzled.

Xu Wu answered Xu Qi's doubts: "Ouch! Why is it like this? This is a dish, but it can't be eaten!"

Xu Wu came out from behind the counter in a hurry and said, "Boss, I've seen this thing before. Someone almost died after eating it. Can't we sell it?"

Xu Qi was shocked when he heard this.

Lin Xi smiled. She remembered that although spicy hot pot ingredients are quite popular in the county, not many people know that its important ingredient is red pepper.

She said: "This is edible, it's called red pepper. The hot pot ingredients in our store, especially the spicy ones, are made from it. You have seen it before, but you saw the pepper that I have crushed."

Xu Wu and Xu Qi looked at the hot pot ingredients area in surprise.

Lin Xi said: "Let's try to see if we can sell it today. If not, we'll talk about it later."

Lin Xi said this, and the two brothers had no choice but to say yes.

When more customers came in later, they tried to recommend them to buy it. Some customers recognized red pepper, but they only knew about it because someone had suffered from bad health after eating red pepper, so they were reluctant to buy it. But some people also heard about hot pot ingredients.

It is made with it, so just buy a small half catty.

Lin Xi would say at this time: "This red pepper is very spicy whether it is dried or not. It can be used for cooking or pickling. No matter what, add as much spicy as you can, not all at once."

Have a lot of sex, otherwise you won’t be able to eat it.”

Her reminder was well-intentioned, but after hearing this, the guests were even more cautious and did not dare to buy.

After a few days, the department store only sold a few dozen kilograms here and there. Except for red peppers, other items were sold normally.

There will be customers who come back to the department store and say that they have abdominal pain after eating and they really can't eat red pepper. Fortunately, they don't blame the department store like they did before.

The fifth Xu brothers were a little anxious and persuaded Lin Xi not to sell it.

Lin Xi did not adopt it.

In addition, after Zhang Ze returned that day, he had a heart-to-heart talk with the village chief and his wife. I don’t know how the conversation ended. In the end, the village chief and Aunt Zhang agreed to let Zhang Ze learn business from Lin Xi and specially sent Zhang Ze here in person.

"Lin Xi, my brother Ze is entrusted to you. If he learns with you, he will be your apprentice. It is a great kindness! If he disobeys and does something wrong to you, you can just beat him and scold him. We will never

Don’t say anything!” the village chief and Aunt Zhang said sincerely.

Lin Xi was ashamed.

She wasn't someone who would scold her clerks casually, so she didn't have to have such a risk-taking mentality.

Anyway, in the end, Zhang Ze was working in the department store, and Lin Xi asked him to follow Xu Wu first.

Xu Wu had never had a disciple before, and he was so panicked: "Master, the young one can't do it! The young one hasn't learned it thoroughly yet. How can he learn how to teach a disciple? I'm afraid I will disappoint you!"

Lin Xi said: "I've seen how you are doing during this period. Just teach with confidence. How much Zhang Ze can learn depends on him."

Then he looked at Zhang Ze: "Let's learn the basics of business first. Your Fifth Brother Xu is very good at attracting customers and selling things. Most of the customers who have dealt with him have an impression of him and have remembered it.

His. So you have to study hard and be polite to your Fifth Brother Xu."

"Okay! Sister Lin, no, boss, don't worry!"

Zhang Ze is smart and sweet-tongued at times. He got closer to Xu Wu with just a few words. He even spent a lot of money to buy Xue Ji's snacks as a tribute to the Xu Wu brothers, giving them their first impression of him.

They are all good, and the words are quite affectionate.

Lin Xi saw that they were getting along well, so he didn't care anymore.

As for how they actually get along with each other in the future, it depends on Zhang Ze herself. She will pay close attention to her and help with important matters.

In this way, Lin Xi is very satisfied. If Zhang Ze can really learn to be half independent, she will not be short of manpower to open a branch next year.

Lin Xi did not forget to tell Zhang Ze to continue studying and literacy.

What she didn't expect was that Zhang Ze was really a genius.

Determined to achieve something, he followed Xu Wu and Xu Qi behind him during the day, scrambling to do everything. At night, he was really not afraid of being tired and insisted on reading, although the books he read were all about businessman's ways.

.Moreover, he also offered to teach the five Xu brothers how to read.

It is really not easy to learn and read at this time.

Because of this, the Xu brothers became closer to Zhang Ze. They always refused to let him do any heavy or tiring work because of his young age. They also taught him how to distinguish various customers from the bottom of their hearts. After meeting him, they

How to deal with etc.

A few more days passed, and it was nearing the end of the month.

Lin Xi looked at the account books and found that the sales volume of red peppers had been poor.

Because the weather is getting warmer in late spring, the weather is getting hotter and fewer people come to buy hot pot.

Lin Xi was thinking about the semi-finished dishes and initially came up with a plan.

Unexpectedly, before she could implement it, something happened first - Wang Yaozu came to the department store.

Lin Xi had never seen Wang Yaozu since she went to Fulai Tower years ago. At this time, she had just seen off a guest when she suddenly saw Wang Yaozu coming in, and thought she had seen it wrong.

However, Wang Yaozu was not uncomfortable. He looked at Lin Xi with a familiar look and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, long time no see. Oh, now I should call you Shopkeeper Lin."

Seeing that Wang Yaozu was well-dressed, the five Xu brothers were busy serving tea and snacks, but Zhang Ze stopped them and told them not to be eager with his eyes. Zhang Ze heard about the Fang family from his son's father, and later learned that Fulailou had been robbed.

Ke Yunlou's hot pot, then Wang Yaozu and Lin Xi must be considered rivals.

Xu Wu and Xu Qi soon thought of this and held their ground.

In the end, Lin Xi walked over and asked Wang Yaozu to sit down with a normal expression, saying: "The king is a busy man, so I don't think he would go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything to do. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
